"By the way, Yao Yao, although I suffered heavy losses in my origin, it wasn't without its benefits."
"Dika's final 'Soul Binding Technique' sealed a portion of 'Dawn Mist's' spirit before it could completely dissipate, which I managed to snatch. Although it's only a wisp of spirit, what you call a soul, as long as I fuse with it, I can gain a trace of 'Dawn Mist's' original power. Perhaps in the future, I can even nurture 'Dawn Mist's' original essence. At that time, I will be a master of both poison and medicine, unprecedented and unparalleled. That would be amazing!"
"That's great!" Lin Yao said happily. "Then we'll be even more confident in dealing with 'Morning Mist's' clones. Our Little Grass is the best! No one can compare to her."
"Hehe, of course!" Little Grass accepted the praise without any modesty. "So my current seclusion is just to integrate that wisp of 'Morning Mist's' spirit. It's okay if I don't go into seclusion for the time being. Refining 'King Tai Sui' is more important."
Lin Yao, with a smile, took back the thousands of jade bottles and jars that had been prepared and were en route, telling them not to send them to Hengshan anymore. Yi Zuojun rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "There are no more jade bottles and jars. Are they not going to refine pills anymore? What a waste of so many 'Tai Sui'!"
After arranging the tasks Lin Yao had given him over the phone, Yi Zuojun suddenly realized a serious problem and quickly reported it.
"Sir, there's something I'd like to tell you. You seemed to be in a bad mood before, and your mother told me not to bother you. But if I don't say something, I think there will be a big problem."
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Yao turned his head to look at Yi Zuojun, his smile fading.
“That’s how it is,” Yi Zuojun swallowed hard and gritted his teeth, “Minhong’s membership-first sales model in various places is now facing obstacles and difficulties. The government has even issued a document requiring Minhong to temporarily cancel the membership system. Your parents are hesitant because many people are dying from the plague every day. I heard that they are so worried that they can’t eat. They are preparing to comply with the document’s requirements.”
"Sir, please don't blame us. It's mainly because Minhong's membership coverage is not yet sufficient. Many innocent people inevitably miss out on treatment time because they are not members. Also, many people in underdeveloped areas have low levels of education and have never even heard of Minhong. That's why President Lin and President Luo had this idea."
Seeing that Lin Yao remained silent, Yi Zuojun continued, "Yesterday in Chengdu, everyone could clearly sense that you were in a bad mood, so no one dared to tell you this. Even Madam Xia didn't dare to speak to you. Your face looked terrible then. But now I have to say it. Because you mentioned so many and such large 'Tai Sui' (a type of mythical creature), if a new plague breaks out while you are refining pills, the people you want to protect may run out of medicine because they are being consumed too quickly. In that case, we will all perish together."
Lin Yao felt a chill run down his spine, secretly relieved that Yi Zuojun had been so thoughtful; otherwise, if something serious had happened during the alchemy process, there would have been no way to make amends.
After confronting the main body of "Morning Mist," Lin Yao analyzed that the "Detoxification Pill" was basically effective against the mutated viruses and bacteria it produced, and even the "Detoxification Powder" had a basic inhibitory effect. As long as the drugs were properly combined, he could basically ensure that there would be no major problems when encountering new viruses while refining pills, because Lin Yao had already taught his parents and Xia Yuwen the preparation method of the refined "Sesame Pill" and the previous powdered "201501".
Although death is inevitable, the minimum dosage can be used to ensure that Minhong's current members will not die as a result. He will also never continuously refine pills. There will be time to deal with each "Tai Sui" he refines. If the material of the Great Cauldron is like "Sesame Pill", it may be possible to refine them all in one night. He will definitely not be unable to get away.
When Lin Yao got through to his father Luo Jimin on the phone, he only said a few words, meaning that he was going into seclusion. If Min Hong did not use the batch of "Sesame Pills" sparingly, a new epidemic would kill a database of people. This forced Min Hong to harden his attitude and his heart.
Having dealt with all worldly affairs, Lin Yao began his alchemy project on a moonlit night with few stars.
A straight passage leads deep into the mountain from the back side of Zhurong Peak. Under the command of Duke Witte, one Heavenly Elder from the Pei family and one from the Sun family, following a plan devised by top architects and geological experts, stood at the two forked passages, five meters and seven meters away from Lin Yao respectively, and mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to support the top of the space where the first "Tai Sui" was located, so as to prevent the rock strata from collapsing after Lin Yao refined this "Tai Sui".
Both of them were holding a spirit stone in their left hands...

"Oh no, this has happened at such a crucial moment. Are they trying to kill us all?!"
The thought flashed through Lin Yao's mind as his soul was pulled into a mysterious space that he both feared and loved, severing his connection with the little grass.
Little Grass was helpless; she had no more resources left to waste helping Lin Yao. "Yao Yao, good luck to you. What are you doing at a time like this?"
"You really don't know what's important!"
After uttering a reprimand that had nothing to do with the bigger picture, the little grass observed the mysterious space. It was gray and empty, and its outstretched tendrils could not touch anything. It was as if Lin Yao was floating in the center of the space without any support.
The grass stretched out its tendrils as far as it could, but it couldn't reach the edge, nor could it touch any object within its range. It was so eerie that it made her a little nervous.
Lin Yaoren disappeared and entered a mysterious space. Then his soul entered another space, leaving Xiaocao and himself completely isolated, which complicated the situation.
The dark blue cauldron stood alone in the specially carved-out cave, Lin Yao no longer beside it. Yet it still emitted a regular, low rumble, occasionally trembling, as if it were being controlled by someone.
Duke Witt, guarding the thick steel bars and plates, was only slightly surprised, but quickly forgot about Lin Yao's disappearance. In his opinion, this was another of his master's special abilities. He felt that his blood pact with his master was still intact and he did not sense any danger.
Lin Yao's sudden disappearance did not cause him any panic. On the contrary, he felt a sense of pride. His master was a being above the Heavenly Rank and Duke, at least at the level of a vampire prince, or even an emperor who was recovering his strength!
When a vampire emperor's strength is severely damaged, it takes a long time to recover. Duke Witt was not at all surprised by the fluctuations in his master's personal strength.
Sun Woxing and Pei Tianxing, who were on duty, felt a chill run down their spines. They thought to themselves that if they were to face Lin Yao, they probably wouldn't even know how they died. This ability to suddenly disappear into thin air was too bizarre; it was practically teleportation.
Pei Tianxing was the most moved. He clearly remembered that the First Elder, Pei Tianzong, had said that when he met Lin Yao at the Yi family in Yanji five years ago, he did not detect Lin Yao's presence through his Heavenly-level perception. After careful recollection, he confirmed that he had met Lin Yao once from afar.
At that time, Lin Yao hadn't even reached the Earth-level realm!
In just five short years, he has grown to a level that even the most powerful figures in the country look up to!
Comparing yourself to others is just infuriating...
...
A flurry of runes and patterns followed, countless fragments of symbols and patterns rushing towards Lin Yao. Each time they swept across his "body," a tremor would occur, as if he were being struck.
Time seemed to stand still as endless runes and patterns swept across Lin Yao's soul. The shock had evolved into severe pain, and it felt as if something had been added to his mind, but he had no time to process it. The increasingly intense pain made Lin Yao feel like he was about to dissipate.
He didn't know how much time had passed when a loud boom went through his mind, all the shock disappeared, and he regained his sense of sensation. The persistent pain left him no time to react before he barely passed out.
"Yaoyao! What's wrong?"
When Lin Yao woke up, he heard Xiao Cao's anxious voice and knew that he was alright. He had survived another ordeal. This time, he probably didn't need Xiao Cao's help. Maybe it was because his willpower was strong, or maybe the cauldron didn't want him to die. In any case, he came out safely and had Xiao Cao back with him.
"Yaoyao, what are you grinning about? What's wrong? I couldn't feel you just now."
