Chapter 405 – Could You Control It For Me, Kid?
In the quiet study, Tang Ru set down the jade slip, excitement flickering across his face. Li Guanqi’s contact meant he wasn’t too upset about what had happened between them.
After placing the jade slip down, Tang Ru took a deep breath, then issued consecutive instructions to his subordinates. He had only one goal: gather three thousand Demon-Slaying Flowers as fast as possible.
The Daxia Sword Sect had already begun its part. Cold pools were dug one after another while various elders moved boulders and carved deep basins into the earth.
The elders of Heavenly Water Peak were the busiest of all. Lu Kangnian had them haul out frost crystals from the treasury and scatter them across the bottom of the pools.
Sun Miao and Gu Yan dashed about as Sun Miao summoned all his disciples and even the ones still waiting for acceptance, pulling together every alchemist he could find. He also contacted herb merchants to bring over all the materials needed for pill refining.
He even laid three mid-grade spirit veins across Heavenly Pillar Peak.
The Daxia Sword Sect disciples stared, baffled, at the old man floating mid-air and barking out orders, wondering when their sect had gained a new elder.
He instructed them to haul over pill cauldrons, fixed a purple flame at the center of Heavenly Pillar Peak, then tossed out more than a dozen array trays to assemble a top-tier emergency firepit so all alchemists could share the companion flame for refining pills.
One after another, alchemists teleported in with pills and herbs in tow. Every one of them was at least Nascent Soul Realm, and each froze in disbelief upon recognizing Sun Miao.
The most relaxed person there was Li Guanqi.
He sat atop Jade Teapot Peak, eyes half-closed, as if visualizing a chessboard with its pieces constantly moving.
His eyes gleamed. He huffed coldly, and his killing intent filled the air.
