Above the source of Tao

No one retreated. They all ran up to these people with heavy weapons in hand, vowing to kill them here.

But what could be done? These men in armor were all brave warriors who had fought on the battlefield. How could they be afraid of just a few hundred people? They were defeated in a short while, with countless casualties, leaving only thirty or two people behind.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Chu Zhuochuan put away his spear, walked up to a man, squatted down and asked, "Who sent you to ambush and kill us here?"

"You're dreaming if you want to get information out of me!"

After saying that, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. He died. When the people around him saw this, they also did the same thing. From then on, none of the masked men here survived.

Seeing this scene, Chu Kangyuan frowned and said, "It seems that someone in the royal city doesn't want to see us."

"Father, do you know who sent people to stop us?"

Chu Kangyuan shook his head and said nothing. He didn't know who was doing the evil in secret.

After packing up, he said, "Hurry up and try to get back to the royal city within three days. I want to see who is against welcoming us into the city!"

So these people mounted their horses and rushed towards the royal city.

.......

"Those hundreds of assassins can't even kill a few people. You are really useless! What's the use of you!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. The eldest prince and his son are so brave that we cannot defeat them."

"You are invincible! Then what's the point of you! Commit suicide as soon as possible."

The man crawling on the ground was trembling, his brain spinning.

"The Chu Kangyuan and his son are both very strong. We can't fight them head-on. Why not deal with them like we did with the king?"

"Humph, if I could have poisoned them both earlier, I would have done it a long time ago. Unfortunately, they are far away from the royal city. However, if they want to return to the city, this plan can be tried."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Chu Kangyuan will be back in the city in a few days, so you have to be cautious. However, the God-sacrificing plan is also imminent. How are those evil ghosts doing recently? Why don't they contact me?"

The man in black replied hesitantly, "Your Majesty, they have lost contact and cannot be found..."

"what?"

The man stared at the man in black with a grudge.

The man in black immediately knelt down again, his body shaking uncontrollably, not daring to say a word.

"What are you still kneeling here for? Go and investigate! You are such a bunch of rubbish!"

The man in black ran out in a hurry.

"Now that Chu Kangyuan is back, I don't have much time left. I have to hurry up and start the God Offering Plan."

......

In the general's mansion, Yun Chang'an and the other man were sitting in the room, talking in detail about what had happened in the past few days.

"Junior brother, I once passed by a kind of Miscanthus in the Tang forest. It can be made into a chronic poison called Miscanthus Powder."

Yun Changan knew the Mang Du San she was talking about. She had already mentioned it when they were in the Tang forest. However, if one wanted to cure this poison now, the most convenient way was to refine a poison pill.

The grade of the Poison-Eating Pill is not high, it is a second-grade pill. However, Yun Changan has only refined pills of this grade, the Meridian-Opening Pill, and has never refined any pills since then.

If Chu Xiaoxiao needs this medicine, I can give it a try.

"Senior Sister Chu, do you have the recipe for the Poison Devouring Pill?"

Yun Chang'an asked, if there was the recipe for the elixir, the poison in the current king's body could be eliminated.

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought with surprise that if there was a poison-eating pill, then her father's poison could be cured immediately, but she said to Yun Changan in disappointment, "I do have the recipe for the poison-eating pill, but who here can make the pill?"

Seeing her lost expression, Yun Changan raised his eyes and looked at her with a smug look.

"No way, you can actually refine pills?"

"I once bought a book of alchemy recipes in the Hall of Merit, studied it for a while, and then I started to refine some pills myself."

As he spoke, he took out an alchemy furnace from his storage bag. This alchemy furnace was the one that Big Brother Xi Que gave to him when he was in the outer sect. He had been holding this furnace and had not taken it out for a long time. But when he took it out again, he actually missed the dozens of days of effort he had spent to refine the Kaimai Pill.

"Senior Sister Chu, believe me, I can make the elixir."

Yun Changan assured her with a solemn look on his face.

When Chu Xiaoxiao saw that he could take out the alchemy furnace, her doubts were reduced a little. She searched her storage bag for a long time with doubt, and finally took out a book. The book was very thin, more like a few pages of paper, with densely written words on it.

After taking the pages of paper, Yun Changan read them carefully.

After an incense stick of time, he shifted his gaze away from the pages of paper and said to Chu Xiaoxiao, "This poison-eating pill is not difficult to refine, but I don't have the few spiritual herbs required for it."

"What medicinal herbs are not there?"

Yun Changan then told her the spiritual medicines he was lacking, which were Stone Dragon Grass, Adenophora Root, and the two most important spiritual herbs, Scorpion Tail Flower and Toad Skin.

These two spiritual herbs are of vital importance. For the Poison-Eating Pill, they are indispensable and irreplaceable.

After hearing what Yun Changan said, she did not hesitate and started searching in her storage bag again. She knew that she had seen all the spiritual herbs Yun Changan mentioned, and had also picked quite a few in the medicinal garden.

After a while, she took out a large pile of spiritual herbs. "Here are all the herbs you need."

Looking at the spiritual herbs piled on the table, he was stunned. He didn't expect that Senior Sister Chu had so many spiritual herbs. He had been planting in the fields for half a year, but there were not as many as he saw now.

Although they all grew herbs in the plantation at Yaoguang Mountain, they always gave them to Master Xiyao and would not take more. This should be what Senior Sister Chu had accumulated over the years.

"That's enough, that's enough."

He was not polite and took all the medicinal herbs on the table. He turned back into the house and told her not to let anyone disturb him.

After closing the door tightly, Yun Chang'an began to make some preparations. He also asked Sister Shichen for a spirit gathering formation. When she learned that he wanted to refine the elixir, she also emerged from the Siyang Gourd Lamp.

Then he helped him set up a small five-element spirit gathering formation. The vitality here is not as good as that of the sect. After all, the vitality in the mortal world is still a little thinner, and it is impossible for those mortal bones to obtain Yuan bones. Therefore, people with Yuan bones cannot be born in large numbers among mortals.

If the mortal world also had extremely rich vital energy like the sects, I'm afraid there would be more people in this world who could practice.
