Liang Jinghong noticed Lan Baizhi subtly signaling Qin Yi, speaking in hushed tones.
Suddenly, he said calmly, "Qin Yi, we appreciate your good intentions! Miss Lan and you should go down and rest with Xiu Wu first!"
"Qin Yi, there's a limit to joking. Even if you and Miss Lan helped us this time, you shouldn't joke about Deputy Hall Master Li's life now!" Qin Qiong said.
Li Changsheng was on the verge of death, and his mood was already irritable and heavy. Qin Yi joking about Li Changsheng's situation immediately soured his mood.
Most importantly, even Qin Yi's own senior sister, Lan Baizhi, did not believe Qin Yi could detoxify Li Changsheng.
Therefore, in the eyes of Liang Jinghong and Qin Qiong, Qin Yi's words just now were merely a jest, a joke!
"Sigh!"
Qin Yi listened to their words, observing their attitudes towards him, and let out a heavy, helpless sigh.
Why did so many people always doubt and disbelieve him whenever he said something?
Was it because he was young that he was deemed unworthy of possessing good medical skills?
It was one thing for others to judge him by his appearance, but he never expected people from the Order Hall like Liang Jinghong and Qin Qiong to do the same!
Qin Yi saw no point in arguing further, shaking his head and walking out of the main hall.
Seeing this, Lan Baizhi quickly followed him out.
"Hmph…"
As they watched Qin Yi's retreating back, Qin Qiong let out a cold snort, appearing angry and displeased.
Liang Jinghong placed a hand on Qin Qiong's shoulder and said, "Forget it! He doesn't have any ill intentions; he's probably just too young!"
Qin Qiong's anger gradually subsided.
…
Outside the main hall, Lan Baizhi saw Qin Yi still walking away at a brisk pace. She quickly caught up, blocked his path, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Before Qin Yi could answer, she continued, "Qin Yi, you really shouldn't have joked about something like this just now! Li Changsheng is dying, and you're still making light of him. It's natural for the people from the Order Hall to be angry!"
Qin Yi looked directly at Lan Baizhi and asked, "Senior Sister Lan, do you also truly believe that my claim of being able to detoxify Li Changsheng was a joke?"
"Wasn't it?"
Qin Yi showed a speechless expression, unwilling to say more. He bypassed her and continued walking outside.
"Where exactly are you going?" Lan Baizhi caught up and asked.
"To the pharmacy!"
"What are you going to the pharmacy for???"
"To buy medicine!"
Since everyone thought he was joking and didn't believe him, Qin Yi decided to prove himself through action.
He needed dozens of medicinal ingredients to refine the detoxification pill, and he needed to buy them from the pharmacy.
Fortunately, the dozens of ingredients required for the detoxification pill he intended to refine were relatively common, and most ordinary pharmacies carried them!
Thus, Qin Yi left the headquarters of the Order Hall and found a nearby herb shop, purchasing all the dozens of medicinal ingredients.
Seeing him genuinely buy dozens of medicinal ingredients from the herb shop, Lan Baizhi's expression became complex and strange, and her conviction that Qin Yi was joking began to waver.
Could he possibly be serious?
Qin Yi, carrying the dozens of purchased medicinal ingredients, did not immediately return to the Order Hall headquarters. Instead, he went to a hotel and booked a room.
Lan Baizhi followed him the entire way, utterly bewildered by Qin Yi's actions, not understanding what he intended to do.
Finally, Qin Yi arrived at the hotel room, and Lan Baizhi followed him in!
After she entered, Qin Yi placed a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door and then closed and locked it.
Seeing this, Lan Baizhi blurted out, "Qin Yi, what are you trying to do???"
Qin Yi took out the dozens of medicinal ingredients he had bought from his pocket one by one and said, "I need to refine a detoxification pill! This detoxification pill, which can neutralize all poisons, is a relatively high-level pill. With my current strength, it will take at least several hours to refine it!"
"Senior Sister Lan, you can stay in the room, but absolutely do not disturb me! The most critical thing when refining pills is to avoid distraction!"
"Moreover, Deputy Hall Master Li's time is running out. Once the toxins in his body spread completely, even the detoxification pill I refine might not be able to save him!"
Lan Baizhi was stunned by his words.
So he was here to refine pills. She had thought…
After Qin Yi finished speaking, without any delay, he took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy, and a stream of azure flames instantly appeared in his palm.
Next, just as he had done when refining the Minor Restoration Pill last time, he tossed the flames into the air, striking them with his hands alternately, injecting several streams of internal energy into the flames.
Boom…
The flames instantly grew several times larger.
When the flames reached a certain size, Qin Yi began to toss one medicinal ingredient after another into the flames.
"!!!"
Lan Baizhi, standing nearby, watched this scene with astonishment, her eyes gleaming with intense light!
Qin Yi… was truly refining pills!
Lan Baizhi had been a disciple of the Mad Old Man for over ten years. She and Ren Shuman had witnessed the Mad Old Man refining pills countless times!
The scene and techniques of the Mad Old Man refining pills were almost identical to Qin Yi's at this moment!
Initially, Lan Baizhi believed that Qin Yi had only been a disciple of the Mad Old Man for a few years, and his current cultivation was already impressive. It was unlikely he would have had the time or energy to learn anything else!
But seeing Qin Yi refining pills now, Lan Baizhi suddenly felt she had been wrong!
At this moment, Lan Baizhi watched Qin Yi's movements, standing still, not even daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing him.
She simply stood there, quietly watching Qin Yi toss the dozens of medicinal ingredients he had bought into the azure flames in the air, one by one!
It took Qin Yi over an hour, nearly two, to toss all dozens of medicinal ingredients into the flames.
The flames melted all the medicinal ingredients into liquid.
Another half an hour passed after all the ingredients had melted into liquid.
Then, Qin Yi's hand changed, and he sent several more streams of internal energy into the flames. Lan Baizhi only saw that the originally azure flames turned crimson as those streams of internal energy were injected.
"Condense!"
At this moment, Qin Yi formed a hand seal, and with a word spat out, the liquid formed from dozens of medicinal ingredients rapidly gathered and fused…
In just a few minutes, the liquid in the flames condensed into a pill the size of a thumb!
Under the baking of the flames, this pill quickly solidified!
Finally, Qin Yi withdrew the flames, and the pill fell from the air. Qin Yi caught it in his hand.
"Phew…"
Qin Yi exhaled twice. Sweat beaded on his forehead and face; he didn't know when it had started.
Not only that, but his clothes were also completely soaked with sweat!
