With the help of Ye Xiruo's Qingyang True Qi, the antidote pill, and the Golden Needle Sealing Poison Technique, Ling Feng's condition has stabilized considerably. However, the poisoning is too severe, and he will only wake up after taking the antidote pill and clearing all the toxins. Even so, Ling Yue and the old steward are already very relieved.

After all, they had invited almost every alchemist and physician in Fenlin City who was willing to come, but after examining the master's condition, they all shook their heads, not even leaving a prescription, and turned to leave. Their expressions clearly indicated that there was no hope, and it was best to prepare for the worst.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiruo quickly identified the problem after only a few observations and experiments with silver needles, and stabilized the master's condition. Both were extremely grateful to Ye Xiruo. Upon learning that Ye Xiruo was going to the royal city, they both thought that once the master recovered, they would properly thank Ye Xiruo for escorting him safely to the capital. Whatever Ye Xiruo requested, as long as the Ling family could fulfill it, they would absolutely not refuse. Now, Ye Xiruo had become the Ling family's hope.

Ling Yue immediately sent people to collect the medicinal herbs that Ye Xiruo had prescribed, gathering as many as possible. Large quantities of herbs were quickly delivered to Ye Xiruo's room, where Ye Xiruo began to experiment with them.

"Idiot, if you could cultivate your Fire Control Technique to the third level, refining this mysterious Five Poison Pill would be a piece of cake." This was the system's voice.

Yes, the reason why it was impossible to successfully refine five complementary pills at the same time was because the heat was not well controlled, which led to various deviations and failures.

Ye Xiruo quickly identified the problem. If it weren't for the system's prompt, she might still be foolishly wasting spiritual medicine. Since breaking through to the second level of the Fire Control Technique, Ye Xiruo had hardly cultivated at all, which was truly shameful.

Having figured this out, Ye Xiruo activated her invisibility jade pendant, flashed into the space, and began cultivating the Fire Control Technique. She didn't use the time cultivation room, as she felt the current time flow in the space was sufficient. Ye Xiruo spent one hundred mid-grade spirit stones to open a simulated cultivation room for a day to assist in cultivating the Fire Control Technique. After watching the demonstration ten times, she began to cultivate seriously.

Twenty days later, Ye Xiruo opened her eyes. Upon closer inspection, one could see mysterious flames constantly shifting within her eyes, but these flames quickly disappeared.

It was done. A ball of bluish-purple flame appeared in Ye Xiruo's hand. The flame quickly transformed into countless sparks, which in turn became countless fireflies. Then, the countless fireflies flew into the air and turned into magnificent and dazzling fireworks.

Only two days have passed in the outside world, but the Five Poison Pill should be refined as soon as possible. If Ling Feng wants to recover his cultivation, he needs not only pills but also time.

Ye Xiruo soon appeared in the room that the Ling family had arranged for her. Good, no one had come in to disturb her these past few days.

After a short rest, Ye Xiruo began a new round of refining. She was very familiar with the previous steps, so there were no mistakes. The five clumps of medicinal liquid quickly took shape under her control. The next step was the simplest: fusion. The five pills had to fuse almost simultaneously. Ye Xiruo circulated her Fire Control Technique, carefully channeling her spiritual energy. Unfortunately, she still failed at the last moment. The five clumps of medicinal liquid exploded again due to their properties.

Fortunately, the greenery blocked most of the explosion's shockwave; otherwise, Ye Xiruo would have been nothing more than covered in dust.

It still didn't work. She was about to succeed, but failed again. At this moment, Ye Xiruo was devastated. This failure was comparable to the number of failures in the previous few years. Refining pills beyond one's level was indeed not something that ordinary people could do.

It's a pity, she was no ordinary person to begin with. She was Ye Xiruo, and she believed that her master and senior brother could all achieve this level of leapfrogging, so there was no reason why she couldn't.

Ye Xiruo took out a spirit peach, munched on it, and continued refining, determined to conquer the Five Poison Pill.

Outside, Ling Yue and the old steward waited anxiously. It had been three days, and Senior Ye still hadn't appeared. Something must have gone wrong.

They wanted to go in and check on the situation, but they were afraid of disturbing Ye Xiruo's cultivation.

"Let's wait a little longer. We should trust Senior Ye." In the entire Maple Forest City, besides Ye Xiruo, there is no one else who can save Father.

"good."

After failing five times in a row, Ye Xiruo was dumbfounded. There were only three doses of the medicinal herbs that had been delivered, which meant that she had three more chances. If she failed again, she would be doomed.

Unlike the Pill King's Palace, the Ling family possessed an abundance of all kinds of spiritual herbs, so this consumption was insignificant. In the entire Maple Forest City, there was only one sixth-grade alchemist, making sixth-grade spiritual herbs incredibly rare. The Ling family's ability to gather so many herbs in such a short time already demonstrated the use of a portion of their family's resources.

Well, after burning so many medicinal herbs, if you can't even refine a single pill, Ye Xiruo felt a little embarrassed.

Three is fine, just three. If Ye Xi calms down, she can continue refining them.

Three hours later, a faint fragrance of pills wafted out. Ye Xiruo controlled the five pills in the greenery, slowly nurturing them until the surface of the pills became smooth and flawless, and all their medicinal properties were contained.

After casting the final pill-collecting incantation, Ye Xiruo pulled out the five pills from the greenery. The five dark pills were only of medium quality, but she was already very excited. After all, this was the first batch of Five Poison Pills that had been successfully refined. If she had medium quality pills, why would she be afraid of not having high quality ones?

Ye Xiruo pressed on, refining the remaining two batches of spiritual herbs into pills—one batch of mid-grade and one batch of high-grade. Finally, she took out a batch of herbs from her spatial storage, which turned out to be a rare, top-grade pill.

"Senior Ye, you've emerged from seclusion?" Ling Yue and the old steward's faces lit up with surprise.

"Good, have things been calm these past few days?"

Ling Yue looked somewhat embarrassed. Clearly, a lot had happened in Maple Forest City these past few days, making things a bit tricky for her. It seemed her situation wasn't very good.

"Senior Ye, what are your orders? I will send someone to do them immediately."

"Take me to see the head of the Ling family. It's time."

"So, you are...?" Ling Yue's eyes, as clear as autumn water, sparkled with excitement.

"Not bad, I have fulfilled my mission."

"That's wonderful! Father is saved! Our Ling family is saved!"

Ling Yue's pupils contracted. She hadn't expected that Ye Xiruo would actually refine an antidote pill, and a rare, top-grade one at that. This would greatly increase the chances of her father's recovery.

That's great! After Ling Feng took the pill, five black wisps of energy emerged from his body, vaguely resembling the shapes of five poisonous creatures, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Ye Xiruo.
