As the oldest and most senior member of the Shadows, Shadow One has witnessed the deaths of countless Shadows.

Every time a shadow dies, a new shadow is arranged to take its place. He's considered lucky; he's still alive.

Seeing that even the usually taciturn Ying Jiu wanted to join Ying Shi in squatting down, Ying Yi came over and grabbed the silly boy's collar with a headache.

They're all being corrupted by Tianning; he has to do something about it!

Ying Yi said, "Don't be foolish. How could a Foundation Establishment stage girl like her possibly cure the Ghost Doctor's poison? Go back and stay there! If your loose tongue harms everyone, do you know what the consequences will be!"

"Who says I can't solve it?" Tianning, who had already picked up a spatula and was stirring inside, immediately proved himself!

Shadow One: "..."

The way she cooks in the kitchen is not convincing at all.

Tianning said, "Since you're also placing your hopes on me, then trust me!"

Ying paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You?"

He didn't place any hopes on her, she was just a little girl.

"Of course I can do it," she said, clearly very confident. "You can use this time to think about how to crush that old bastard in two hours."

Shadow One remained silent.

It wasn't because he didn't want to, but because Tian Ning suddenly started to shine.

? ? ?

The atmosphere was so perfectly created that it was actually quite touching...

Behind them, the other shadows also came over and sat in a row around Tianning.

They had always been accustomed to only responding to their master, and they all watched in silence, with only two chatterboxes talking nonsense for a while.

Yingyi stubbornly stood by and guarded him.

Everyone listened to Tianning tell fantastical stories, and then Wang Yingshi enthusiastically echoed them. The stories were novel, depicting a life they had never imagined...

Yingyi listened silently, feeling speechless. Although she didn't expect her pill to be successful, couldn't she at least concentrate a little?

Won't such a half-hearted approach lead to mistakes?

As the sun set, its afterglow painted half the sky red, and golden light shone on each of their heads, giving Yingyi a strange and wonderful illusion.

To be honest, this girl who appeared out of nowhere was annoying, but unlike their previous missions, which were either killing or being killed, endless killing and bloodshed, they didn't even know why they were alive.

Before nightfall, a medicinal fragrance wafted into the air.

Tianning opened the pot lid, revealing ten perfectly round, top-grade pills inside, one for each person.

It's a full furnace!

Even those who weren't alchemists knew that a full furnace of top-grade pills was extremely rare.

She... actually succeeded in refining it!

Tianning didn't waste any time and quickly distributed everything, ensuring everyone got a share.

Upon receiving the freshly made pills, Yingyi wasn't worried about them being poisonous. They had witnessed Tianning's entire pill-refining process, and the recipe didn't contain any toxic ingredients.

What worried him was whether this elixir could truly cure the Ghost Doctor's poison...

"If you really help us cure the poison, what are your conditions?" Ying asked.

He's a man of flesh and blood, after all.

Tian Ning said, "Please help me send those people from the mortal realm back, and while you're at it, please expose those swindlers who are impersonating others!"
