The Supreme Elder almost couldn’t believe what he was hearing after Moyang’s muttered words—it truly was Moyang who had "drugged" Su Feier! And with two bottles no less!

  "You beast! How could you do something like this? Two bottles? You… you’re truly despicable!" The Sed Elder was so furious he nearly raised his hand to sp Moyang across the face.

  "You reckless brat! You’ve been messing around with medial ingredients fes—figure out a solution now!" The Supreme Elder, despite his anger, mao stay calm. While Moyang’s as were extreme, if worst came to worst, a certain… remedy could be applied. As long as Su Feier’s life wasn’t at risk, he could accept the oute.

  Moyang, however, wore a grave expression. This wasn’t a joke. Based on Su Feier’s current dition, if the issue wasn’t resolved, her life would be in grave danger.

  Ign the elders’ scolding, Moyang racked his brain for a solution. The only way to resolve this was to expel the medial ping within Su Feier’s body, but ordinary methods wouldn’t work.

  In fact, the elders’ attempts to suppress the energy were only making it worse, causing the medial power to grow even more votile.

  "Old man! Stop what you’re doing, or are y to kill her ht?" Moyang barked sharply, his brow furrowing.

  "Moyang, I don’t care about anything else right now—just save Feier’s life! Take her into the house immediately!" The sect master’s voice was low but anding, his face dark and stormy. He khat panic would only worseuation, and time was of the essence.

  At this point, there was no other choice.

  Moyang found the sect master’s words a bit strange, but he didn’t have the luxury to dwell on them. He had already po take Su Feier into the house—more specifically, into the Star Sn Tower.

  After careful thought, Moyang realized the only solution was to treat the effects of the Marrow sing Pill and the Beauty Retention Pill as poison. He would o craft a detoxification pill called the Antitoxin Pill. It was the only option he could think of.

  "If I don’t e out, no one is to set foot ihe house!" Moyang shouted over his shoulder as he carried Su Feier inside, smming the door shut behind him.

  The elders outside were furious, their expressions dark as though they wao tear Moyang apart. Yet none of them could do anything at the moment.

  The Supreme Elder g the tightly shut door, his entire body trembling with both anger and ay. What kind of mess is this?

  Sighing deeply, he turo the other elders and said, "Let’s clear the courtyard. Go wait at a distance!"

  After all, with the kind of medial power involved, the resulting otion wouldn’t be small. A group of elderly men lingering around here would be unseemly.

  But what troubled him most was whether Su Feier could even survive this ordeal.

  Ihe Star Sn Tower, Moyang carried Su Feier to the sed floor. With her sciousness already pletely blurred, he didn’t worry about exposing the tower’s secrets.

  He quickly retrieved seven specific medial ingredients from his ste ring. Crafting the Antitoxin Pill would be far more difficult than any pill he had attempted before, and Moyang wasn’t even fident it would succeed. But he had to try.

  "You little troublemaker, you’ve really forced me to use you as a test subject..." Moyang muttered bitterly, utterly exasperated.

  Setting his thoughts aside, he calmed his mind and focused. One by one, he added the ingredients to the Cauldron of Creation. As the strong fragrance of the co began to fill the air, it masked some of the terrible stench emanating from Su Feier’s body.

  Outside on the Wood Peak, the elders had retreated several hundred paces from the courtyard.

  "That beast... How dare he…" The Sed Elder was fuming, his teeth ched. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had never liked Moyang, and now this brat had blundered into what seemed like a stroke of luck. The Sed Elder felt as though Moyang had gotten away with murder.

  "I didn’t expect him to actually do something like this. I had tried to test him before, but I…” The Supreme Elder’s face was equally grim. His gaze lingered on the courtyard door for a moment before he sighed helplessly.

  The sect master, silent for a long while, finally spoke. "This matter must not spread. After this is over, we’ll arraheir marriage."

  Time passed slowly.

  Ihe Star Sn Tower, Moyang finally succeeded in crafting the Antitoxin Pill. The moment the pill solidified, he exhaled deeply, his forehead drenched with sweat. The process had ed a great deal of his mental energy due to the plexity of the ingredients.

  Unfortunately, only a single pill had formed, and Moyang couldn’t be certain of its efficacy. The only way to test it was on Su Feier.

  Without dey, Moyang propped Su Feier up and carefully administered the pill. He then focused his full attention on monit the ges in her body.

  Outside, the elders paced bad forth anxiously. As time dragged on, their nerves grew increasingly frayed. The silence from the courtyard only made them more uneasy.

  The Supreme Elder was equally puzzled. Normally, with such powerful medial effects at py, there should have been some kind of otiohere wasn’t even the fai sound. Despite his curiosity, he refrained from using his spiritual seo probe inside.

  Half an hour passed. Then an hour. Finally, after two full hours, the silence was broken by the creak of a door opening.

  The Supreme Elder and the sect master immediately rushed toward the courtyard, where they saw Moyang standing zily in the doorway, stretg.

  "How is Feier?" they asked in unison.

  "The medial effects haven’t fully dissipated yet, and her sciousness hasn’t recovered. Let her rest on the bed for now," Moyang replied nontly.

  Hearing this, the sect master and the Supreme Elder finally rexed, the weight on their shoulders lifting. But almost immediately, their expressions turned dark as they gred at Moyang.

  "What’s with those looks? You’re not even going to thank me? If I hadn’t figured out a solution in time, Feier might not have made it," Moyang protested indignantly.

  "Thank you? Yed Feier and now have the o act smug?!" the Supreme Elder snapped coldly.

  Just thinking about the situation infuriated him. He had always thought Moyang was kied and straightforward. How had it e to this?

  The sect master, too, was on the verge of exploding, his eyes fshing with barely restrained killing i.

  Moyang blinked, stunned. He had been pnning to let the matter go unaddressed, but seeing their expressions, he realized he had to expin himself. If he didn’t, no amount of justification would se his reputation.

  "Listen, old man. I’m not the depraved person you think I am. I gave Su Feier two bottles of pills out of goodwill and specifically told her to only take one pill at a time. The pills I gave her were the Beauty Retention Pills and the Marrow sing Pills—not some aphrodisiac!"

  "If you want to bme someone, bme her for not listening. She swallowed them all in one go. She’s lucky to even be alive!"

  "What? They weren’t aphrodisiacs? Then… what happened in there?" The Supreme Elder froze, his mind reeling.

  The sect master also stood stunned, his thoughts grinding to a halt. He had already started pnning how to haheir "marriage" arra, and now this?

  The other elders, who had just ehe courtyard, overheard Moyang’s expnation and froze iheir faces bnk with disbelief.

  "You’re still trying to make excuses? Where did you evehose pills?" the Great Elder demanded angrily.
