On the other side, Ye Feng was unaware that the Pill Dao Pavilion was preparing to target the Sea God Company. At this moment, he was observing Old Lu refining pills while comparing it with the Deep Sea Alchemy technique.
Finally, he discovered that the two were not much different. The only distinction was that Old Lu did not require the power of the Sea God during refinement but instead employed a peculiar spiritual skill.
It was precisely this spiritual skill that completely compensated for the inability to smelt materials without the power of the Sea God, which greatly broadened Ye Feng's horizons.
While he was comparing, Old Lu quickly finished refining the first batch of pills. As expected, he succeeded on his first try!
Although the yield was only four pills and the quality did not reach the upper grade, Ye Feng was still immensely impressed, marveling at Old Lu's alchemy skills.
"Phew, truly worthy of being called Old Lu. He succeeded on the first try. That's great!" Ye Feng exclaimed excitedly as he examined the Rejuvenation Pill.
Upon hearing this, Old Lu also showed a look of relief and smiled, "I have not failed in my mission!"
"Mm!"
Ye Feng nodded, then glanced at the time and realized it was already evening. He said, "It's getting late. Let's stay here for tonight and head to Rocky Island tomorrow!"
"Alright, I shall arrange accommodations for you, my lord!"
Geng Nian quickly prepared to arrange lodging, but Ye Feng soon refused, "No need to arrange anything. I'll stay here. I have some alchemy questions for Old Lu!"
This was a senior with incredibly rich alchemy experience and a second-tier alchemist, so Ye Feng would not miss such an opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Old Lu did not refuse; instead, he happily agreed.
The reason was simple: although he was the one refining, Ye Feng had been offering timely reminders from the side, which allowed him to succeed on his first attempt.
Furthermore, as a descendant of the Sea God, Ye Feng possessed the most complete Deep Sea Alchemy technique, making him an invaluable treasure to Old Lu.
While the two discussed alchemy throughout the night, countless dark figures emerged in the waters near Rocky Island, completely surrounding it.
At this moment, a tall figure, hidden in the darkness and whose appearance was indistinguishable, spoke, "Gui Bao, this is where your mission failed. It doesn't seem particularly remarkable!"
Another figure, whose face was also obscured, chimed in, "That's right, Gui Bao. Could it be that you didn't dare to act in Huaxia and deliberately feigned mission failure so we would step in?"
"Exactly. Gui Bao, you're getting softer as you get older. As someone from Satan, you're actually this timid. You're a disgrace to us..."
Several people spoke one after another. Hearing this, the short figure called Gui Bao immediately snorted, "Hmph, what do you guys know? If it weren't for faulty intelligence, how could I have failed?"
"Besides, do you think I called you here just to complete that mission? To tell you the truth, there's a new mission just now, and the reward is that mysterious Eastern pill!"
Gui Bao licked his lips as he spoke. He was the assassin from the Satan organization, Gui Bao Shou, who had failed to assassinate Ye Feng during the day and escaped!
"Nani? The most mysterious Eastern pill?"
Upon hearing his words, several figures around them showed shock, finding it hard to believe that the reward was a mysterious Eastern pill.
While they didn't fully understand the power of pills, they knew that it was a miraculous force, akin to magic, that could not be explained by common sense.
"Haha, that's great! I never expected it to be a mysterious Eastern pill. Honestly, I've long wanted to witness its power."
"Indeed. Legend has it that Eastern pills possess magical powers, capable of instantly increasing cultivation and healing injuries. This is truly enticing!"
"Yes, Gui Bao, quickly tell us the mission requirements. I can't wait to get my hands on this thing..."
The dark figures couldn't help but express their excitement. Clearly, none of them were unmoved by the miraculous nature of pills.
Hearing this, Gui Bao immediately showed a proud expression, as if mocking how ignorant these people were. "Hmph, truly a bunch of unsophisticated fellows."
"However, seeing as you are so sincere, I shall tell you the mission requirements: make everyone in the Sea God Company perish in the sea!"
Gui Bao said with a devilish, cruel smile, his eyes faintly gleaming with excitement, as if this were a wonderful thing to him.
"What? Perish in the sea?"
Upon hearing this, the dark figures were all astonished. However, they soon revealed devilish cold smiles, "Heh heh, interesting. No wonder you called us here. So that's it! But I like it!"
"Heh heh, me too. It's been a long time since I've had such a bloodbath, especially thinking that this is the mysterious East, which makes me even more excited!"
"Who isn't? After being suppressed for so long, I can finally unleash myself today. Don't worry, I'll make sure they don't feel any pain..."
The dark figures all let out cruel smiles, each more twisted than the last.
However, just as they were about to act, Gui Bao Shou stopped them, saying, "Wait, everyone. I didn't call you here to kill the people on the island. I've already set up bombs there, so you don't need to act!" xxs壹贰
"Hmm? What do you mean, we don't need to act?" Upon hearing this, the dark figures were all very confused. If they weren't killing the people on the island, then why were they called?
Hearing this, Gui Bao Shou immediately explained, "I called you here to prevent the boss of the Sea God Company, Ye Feng, from escaping. Based on my observations during the day, this person should possess a powerful life-saving technique!"
He had thought it over carefully after returning and believed that Ye Feng's survival from the initial explosion was definitely due to a potent life-saving method. Therefore, for safety's sake, he had summoned so many people.
Of course, the most important reason was that after his encounter with Ye Feng, he had realized that Ye Feng's strength was beyond his capabilities, hence this situation.
As for the people of the Sea God Company on Rocky Island, they were simply not worth considering; they were merely ordinary people. Once he killed Ye Feng, wouldn't they be easily dealt with?
Of course, there was one last reason, which was that these people might play an unexpected role, which was why he hadn't acted immediately.
However, upon hearing this, the dark figures were all dismissive, feeling that Gui Bao Shou was making a mountain out of a molehill and that dealing with a mere Ye Feng didn't require so many people.
But alas, they were not the person in charge of this operation, so in the end, they could only follow Gui Bao Shou's arrangements...
Of all this, Ye Feng was unaware. After a night of discussion, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a second-tier alchemist.
However, the immediate priority was not to find a place to break through but to first send Old Lu and the others to Rocky Island and then cure Xiao Feifei.
Therefore, early in the morning, Ye Feng led Old Lu and a group of alchemists from Lost City to Rocky Island.
However, halfway there, Ye Feng's heart suddenly felt a premonition...
