After finishing his meal, Liu Feng went to buy some medicinal herbs. The purple water chestnut flower, yellow tongue grass, and single yarrow root used to refine the Rejuvenation Pill were not very rare, so they were also sold in the countryside.

The three then found a secluded courtyard to prepare medicine.

Ye Suixin and Liu Feng sat facing each other in the middle of the courtyard, with two alchemy furnaces in front of them.

This kid's got something.

Liu Feng looked at Ye Suixin's alchemy furnace. Although it seemed ordinary at first glance, it gave people a sense of grandeur.

Without saying much, the two focused on refining the ingredients, while Ye Xiyun sat on the side to protect them and prevent any accidents from happening.

Liu Feng was very fast at refining pills. After all, he was a third-grade alchemist, and refining first-grade pills was quite easy for him. In one hour, he refined 10 pills in total, and succeeded 8 times.

Ye Suixin was also quite fast, refining nine times in an hour, all of which were successful.

However, neither of them paid attention to the other, as alchemy is a delicate art.

......

Time flew by, and seven hours passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Xiyun was getting bored to death waiting on the side.

As the two finished refining one pill, they subconsciously looked at each other.

"How did it go? It's getting late, let's go eat," Liu Feng said first.

"Not bad, I practiced 120 times," Ye Suixin said happily. She had lost about 5 in the process, but her success rate had increased.

Liu Feng was somewhat incredulous and subconsciously asked, "What? I've only practiced 110 pills, how could you be so fast?"

"Hey, didn't I already say I have a high success rate?"

Liu Feng didn't speak, but smiled. "Medicine Peak is indeed Medicine Peak. Xuan Yu Sect truly lives up to its reputation."

"Let's go then," Ye Xiyun couldn't wait any longer and pulled Ye Suixin out.

Zhao Lei watched from the shadows and smiled faintly: "My junior brother is really something else."

"Liu Feng isn't as simple as I thought; he's probably hiding something."

Zhao Lei observed Liu Feng the whole way, and had a strange feeling about him.

Afterwards, the three of them had a meal together and returned to the inn.

They booked all their accommodations at the same inn so they could meet up the next day.

......

As they predicted, another 20 people met with misfortune the next day—those who had also drunk the holy water.

All morning, the three of them were running around, treating those who had been injured. Along the way, they also encountered some freshmen who were also there to investigate, but none of them knew how to make pills, so they could only watch Ye Suixin handle the situation.

"Ye Xiyun, have you found anything?" Peng Fei, who was in the same class as her, asked them, wanting to exchange information.

Peng Fei was a ninth-level cultivator, and standing next to him was Shan Xiong, a seventh-level cultivator who didn't talk much.

"There have been no major discoveries. All we know so far is that these people who had accidents all drank the holy water," Ye Suixin said.

Peng Fei thought for a moment. They had heard about the Taoist priest and the divine water, but they hadn't expected the water to be problematic.

So he replied, "Is that so? We didn't find anything either."

I heard from other freshmen that traces of demonic cultivators were discovered in the mountains behind Little Rain Town.

He then continued to say to Ye Suixin, "Why don't we go and take a look together? This can't go on like this; we need to find the root cause."

Ye Suixin nodded, agreeing with Peng Fei's assessment. "Okay."

They then agreed on a time and place to meet at the back gate of the town after lunch.

Around noon, Ye Suixin and Liu Feng had lunch together and explained the situation.

"Oh, by the way, we're thinking of going to the back mountain this afternoon to investigate the demonic cultivators. Brother Liu, are you coming?" Ye Suixin asked Liu Feng.

Liu Feng waved his hand, "I won't go, I'll refine some more medicine."

"Okay," Ye Suixin said without adding anything more.

After finishing their meal, a commotion reached the ears of the three of them.

"Catch that stinky Taoist priest!"

"That's right, they tricked us into drinking the magic water."

"All that talk about killing demonic cultivators and seriously injuring them is just an act to trick us into drinking that poison."

"He himself is most likely a demonic cultivator..."

......

In the past two days, those who encountered problems were all people who had drunk the holy water. They were somewhat afraid, so they gathered together to try to find the culprit.

"Someone said they saw traces of demonic cultivators in the back mountain. Let's go take a look."

"Are you out of your mind? So what if you find the demonic cultivators? Can you even beat them?"

"Even if I die, I don't want to end up like Old Zhang, it's too terrifying."

The argument started, but in the end they decided to go and see.

Suddenly, a somewhat childish female voice rang out: "Uncle, don't worry, we are disciples of the Xuanyu Sect, we can go and take a look for you first."

Wu Qianyu from Class 1 is ethereal and has an extraordinary temperament. At the age of 12, she also has the cultivation level of the ninth level of True Qi, similar to Ye Xiyun.

"Just you two little girls?" the burly man at the front said coldly.

Upon hearing their words, Wu Qianyu's expression immediately turned sour.

"Hmph, although we are young, our cultivation is not bad," he said, smashing a several-cubic-meter boulder next to him.

"Besides, I'm just advising you. Whether you want to go or not is up to you," Wu Qianyu said confidently, not backing down at all.

"This... Little Immortal Master, I'm truly sorry about what happened just now. With our lives in danger, we had no choice."

"I'll have to trouble you two with this matter," the person who had just said he didn't want to go said, seizing the opportunity.

Wu Qianyu nodded without saying anything, and walked towards the back mountain with her companion Song Xiaoxiao.
