Tossing a handful of Spirit Medicine into the Purple Fire Divine Furnace, Yi Tianyun quickly began the Alchemy process. Since the grade wasn’t very high, it wouldn’t take long to refine. The brilliant glow lit up the entire area, making the Great Elder’s torch unnecessary and dispelling the darkness of the basement.

"You—you know Alchemy too?" He Qianhan asked, staring at the flame in Yi Tianyun’s hand. She could tell it was no ordinary fire.

"I know a little. Refining an Antitoxic Pill is no problem," Yi Tianyun said as he swiftly formed a Sealing Technique. The Purple Fire Divine Furnace flared to life, intensifying its heat to temper the Spirit Medicine. His speed increased, and with the boost from the Purple Fire Divine Furnace, both the refinement speed and success rate rose dramatically. There was no doubt he would succeed.

Of course, that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

"Crazy Alchemy Mode, activate!"

’He rarely used Crazy Alchemy Mode. The reason was simple: there was usually no need to refine things so quickly. Unless it was for a competition or an urgent need for medicine, he never had to rush the Elixir Pills. But the current situation was an emergency, so he activated Crazy Alchemy Mode, instantly increasing his speed eightfold!’

’Originally, his Eye of Investigation had shown that the Purple Fire Divine Furnace would take about two hours to successfully refine the pill. But under the eight-times multiplier, that time was cut by a factor of eight! That meant he could easily complete it in just over ten minutes.’

’Of course, Madness Mode had to remain active the entire time, or the effect would disappear. It was a rather wasteful way to spend Madness Value, which was why he usually avoided using it. But he couldn’t worry about that now. Saving a life was more important.’

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes later, the Elixir Pill was successfully refined. With a BANG, the lid of the Purple Fire Divine Furnace flew open, and several Antitoxic Pills landed in his hand. The refinement was perfect, and their quality was excellent. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"The refinement was a success!" Yi Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief. ’This Madness Mode really is fast. The effect would be even more pronounced when refining high-grade Elixir Pills, which take a lot of time. With such a drastic time reduction, they could be produced very quickly.’

"What? The refinement was a success!?"

They were all dumbfounded. His Alchemy speed was unbelievable, as if he were just cooking a meal. It was finished in the blink of an eye, before they even had a chance to really watch.

"Have the Mansion Master take this Antitoxic Pill. Suppress the poison first, then give him a Recovery Elixir. Otherwise, the Recovery Elixir will have no effect," Yi Tianyun said, handing the Antitoxic Pill to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder nodded firmly and had the Mansion Master consume the Antitoxic Pill. This time, he didn’t vomit blood. The effects soon became apparent; the blackish tint on his skin subsided slightly, fading away bit by bit. Although it didn’t disappear completely, a significant portion of it receded.

After the poison had subsided a little, the Great Elder gave the Mansion Master the Recovery Elixir. Following that, his complexion improved slightly, and his wounds began to heal rapidly. The process was slow, but at least the situation was no longer as hopeless as before.

"The situation has stabilized for now. After he rests and recovers for a bit, we should be able to move him outside for further treatment." Yi Tianyun finally let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the improvement.

They also breathed a sigh of relief. The Mansion Master’s condition seemed much better. Although his cultivation couldn’t be restored, at least his life was saved.

"Thank you, young man..." The Mansion Master’s voice had a bit more strength to it now.

"Don’t mention it, Mansion Master," Yi Tianyun said with a smile. ’It feels good to save someone. After all, there’s no greater merit than saving a life.’

The Mansion Master said no more, simply leaning against the wall to recover quietly. Before long, the blood on his wounds had clotted, and he was no longer bleeding. Now they could finally move him, and they settled him in a bedroom.

After taking several more Antitoxic Pills in succession, his condition improved drastically. Barring any complications, the poison should be completely purged in a few days. As for his injuries, they would require careful nursing. They were severe, especially the ones on his limbs, which would require a significant price to heal.

However, his crippled cultivation was a problem that currently had no solution.

"The tendons in the Mansion Master’s limbs have been severed. To heal them, he’ll need Bone Healing Ointment. I wonder if the Celestial Extreme Mansion has the necessary Spirit Medicines. I can refine it."

’Bone Healing Ointment was a Fourth Grade recipe. It wasn’t difficult for him at his current level, so he was confident he could refine it.’

"That... that’s something only a Fourth Grade Alchemist can refine! You can really make it...?" The Great Elder was stunned once again. He couldn’t tell the grade of the Antitoxic Pill, but he knew the grade of Bone Healing Ointment.

’A Fourth Grade Alchemist and a Fourth Grade Divine Rune Master at such a young age... this was simply heaven-defying!’

"Yes, I can refine it," Yi Tianyun replied simply.

"Then... then, that’s great! Have Xian’Er take you to the pharmacy to get them." The Great Elder gestured for Mu Xian’Er, who was standing nearby, to lead Yi Tianyun there.

He Qianhan was busy helping care for the Mansion Master—fetching water, cleaning his wounds, and other troublesome tasks—so she didn’t have time to guide him.

"I understand, Grandpa." Mu Xian’Er nodded, then turned to Yi Tianyun and said, "Mas... Master Yi... I’ll take you."

’The string of recent events had left her utterly shocked. It was one thing for his cultivation to be high, but he also knew Fourth Grade Divine Runes? She had never seen a Fourth Grade Divine Rune before, but she had just witnessed his superb Alchemy Ability firsthand. It was truly stunning.’

As Yi Tianyun followed Mu Xian’Er out, he chuckled. "Little Witch, why are you calling me Master Yi now? Wasn’t I a scoundrel?"

"You... you..." Mu Xian’Er bit her lip. ’She only dared to be so mischievous with her peers or those close to her own age. Now, the gap between them was so vast he was practically a senior. How could she dare to fool around anymore?’

"Alright, I’m just kidding. The situation at the Celestial Extreme Mansion is chaotic right now. I wonder if there are any other traitors here. If they aren’t all rooted out, your safety will also be an issue... No, it will always be an issue. The Netherworld Empire has its eyes on you."

’Even if all the traitors were eliminated, the Netherworld Empire had already targeted the Celestial Extreme Mansion. They obviously wouldn’t let this go so easily. Their original plan was to use a puppet to control the Celestial Extreme Mansion, but now that he had ruined it, the Netherworld Empire would certainly not give up.’

’However, they definitely wouldn’t act openly, as that would attract the attention of other powers. More importantly, if they met with resistance and ended up killing everyone, there would be no point in occupying the Celestial Extreme Mansion.’

Mu Xian’Er nodded, a worried expression on her face. Things were indeed as he said. The once-cheerful Little Witch no longer dared to be mischievous, nor was she in any mood for it.
