"maybe!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded slightly and said something.

He stood on the towering city wall, facing the wind, and looked around.

On the roads below the city wall, there were many people with nervous and worried looks on their faces, hurrying along, and they were walking towards the city gate below the city wall.

Zhang Xiaoshan knew that once the poisonous miasma in the forest spread to the city wall, the villagers who were unable to enter the city would face great danger once they breathed in the poisonous miasma.

However, he was powerless to do anything.

"Xiaoshan, now that everyone in our village has entered the city, what should we do next?

I am not familiar with this Maple Forest Town and don’t know how to accommodate them.”

Chen Daha turned his head and looked at the hundreds of villagers behind him. With a hint of hesitation on his face, he slowly approached Zhang Xiaoshan and whispered.

"Uncle Chen, don't worry, we'll find a few yards in the city for everyone to live in first."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and comforted him.

Soon, Zhang Xiaoshan brought Chen Daha and others to a remote place in the city, where there were many uninhabited courtyards.

Zhang Xiaoshan rented ten courtyards without hesitation, each of which could accommodate hundreds of people.

Zhang Xiaoshan said to Chen Daha, "Uncle Chen, these yards are enough for everyone to live in for at least half a year."

As he spoke, he took out another 1,000 taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chen Daha, "This silver is used to buy food, which is enough for everyone to eat for a year.

Once the poisonous miasma outside the city dissipates, you can return to Hongye Village."

"Xiaoshan, thanks to you, the villagers of Hongye Village can have a place to live. I really don't know how to thank you."

Chen Daha took the silver with both hands, his eyes full of gratitude, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, and said with a trembling voice.

"Uncle Chen, you are too kind. We are all neighbors and we should help each other.

I have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you for now." Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand and said with a smile.

After arranging Chen Daha and others, Zhang Xiaoshan hurried towards the Wang family of immortal cultivation.

"Junior Brother Zhang, long time no see!"

After returning to Chunfeng Courtyard, Zhang Xiaoshan was about to enter his room when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Brother Zhu, when did you return to the Wang family?"

Zhang Xiaoshan turned around and saw that it was Zhu Wuhong, and said with a smile.

Zhu Wuhong smiled and said, "I came back three days ago."

Then he asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, I saw you rushing to your room just now. Is there something wrong?"

"Brother Zhu, you don't know that the gate of the east gate of our Fenglin Town has been closed. Now a large number of people have come to the bottom of the east gate, but they can't get in."

Zhang Xiaoshan sighed and said, "I'm worried that once the poisonous miasma in the forest spreads to the city gate, those people might be in trouble. This makes me feel a little uneasy."

"Junior Brother Zhang, I've heard about this, too."

Zhu Wuhong nodded and said:

It is said that the four gates of the city, the east gate, the west gate, the north gate, and the south gate, have all been closed, blocking countless people outside the high city walls. "

“Why is this happening?

Are we just going to watch those people suffer such tragedy?"

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned and asked.

"This is a decision made jointly by the three major immortal cultivation families."

After hearing what Zhang Xiaoshan said, Zhu Wuhong slowly said:

Although the city of our Fenglin Town can still accommodate a lot of people, this time, some cultivators from the three major immortal families went out for training. They learned the news that the poisonous miasma was gradually spreading, and they also saw countless villagers pouring into our Fenglin Town from various villages.

Once all these people enter the city, the people in the city will suffer because of them.

Therefore, the three major immortal families gave orders to the mayor not to open the city gates. "

"Then will the countless people outside the city wall just ignore them?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked with a frown.

"Not really." Zhu Wuhong shook his head slightly and said, "

I just saw you hurriedly walking across the corridor towards Chunfeng Courtyard, so I quickly followed you.

That’s exactly what I came to you to talk about.”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked puzzledly.

"Our master received an order from Patriarch Wang this morning, asking those of us who know how to make pills to each make 3,000 detoxification pills within three days."

Zhu Wuhong smiled slightly and said, "As long as we can complete the task, we will be rewarded with 100 low-grade spirit stones each."

"Oh? Refining three thousand detoxification pills will reward you with one hundred low-grade spirit stones. This reward is quite generous."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, this reward is indeed very generous."

Zhu Wuhong smiled and said, “One hundred low-grade spirit stones, if I were to use them for cultivation.

With my current cultivation level of the middle third level of Qi Refining, if I absorb these one hundred low-grade spirit stones, I should be able to break through to the middle fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, refining 3,000 detoxification pills within three days not only tests our pill refining speed, but also consumes a lot of our mental energy.

I saw you just now and wanted to tell you about this. After all, you just came back and don’t know about it yet.

The other brothers had already started refining pills in the Alchemy Pavilion yesterday."

"Since other brothers are refining detoxification pills, why don't you go and refine one?"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said.

"I want to adjust my mental state first and prepare to start refining tonight.

And if I refine it for three consecutive days, day and night, I should be able to refine 3,000 detoxification pills."

Zhu Wuhong smiled and said.

"Is that so?" Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said after hearing this.

"Junior Brother Zhang, now that I've told you this news, when do you plan to start refining the detoxification pill?"

Zhu Wuhong thought about it and spoke again.

"I can start refining at any time."

Zhang Xiaoshan raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said, "But I want to ask, why do you need to refine so many detoxification pills?"

"These detoxification pills are for those people outside the city who might be fainted or even killed by the poisonous miasma."

After hearing this, Zhu Wuhong explained with a smile.

"As far as I can remember, including our master, there are only about twenty people who can refine detoxification pills."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan showed a trace of doubt and said:

Even if all of us can refine 3,000 detoxification pills within three days, the number of pills will not be enough for tens of thousands of villagers outside the city to take, right?"

"Junior Brother Zhang, you don't know this.

This detoxification pill is very effective for ordinary people. One detoxification pill dissolved in a bucket of water is enough for thirty people to take.

Moreover, after they drink the water melted by the detoxification pill, they will be guaranteed not to be poisoned to death by the poisonous miasma within a day."

Zhu Wuhong smiled and said:

Besides, after we finish refining this batch of detoxification pills, we can continue refining.

Moreover, in addition to the Wang family, the other two families also have alchemists who are making detoxification pills.

By then, we should be able to barely meet the needs of those outside the city, help them detoxify, or at least prevent them from being poisoned to death by the poison gas."
