Chapter 2403 - 2382: Night Fire Engulfs the Alchemy Workshop
The Holy Pill Pavilion at night had already closed. Li Changsong and San’er were responsible for checking everything once over, then went to the backyard to rest.
"Fire! Fire!"
Suddenly, the front courtyard was ablaze with fire, and panicked voices echoed. Li Changsong and San’er heard this and immediately led everyone in the shop to start firefighting. When they reached the front hall, they realized that a large area had already been burned!
Seeing this, Li Changsong and San’er immediately began desperately trying to extinguish the fire. To their surprise, they discovered that this arson was definitely man-made, because that fire was not ordinary at all—regular water simply couldn’t extinguish it. Only when Li Changsong used Yuan Energy to suppress it did it have some effect!
San’er and the others were all stunned, but Li Changsong reacted quickly, immediately sending three people to the auction house to find Elder Chu, while he ventured into the sea of flames himself. Lin Feng saved their family, and he had no way to repay him. Even if he died today, he had to control the fire until reinforcements dared to come...
Lin Feng and Tao Tao were chatting with Elder Chu, preparing for matters related to their retreat, when someone from Holy Pill Pavilion suddenly brought them the news, causing Lin Feng to furiously grab Tao Tao and disappear from the spot, leaving Elder Chu and the servant who came in stunned!
Thousand Miles in One Step!
When Lin Feng and Tao Tao returned to Holy Pill Pavilion, seeing it burned beyond recognition, Lin Feng was consumed with anger. He hadn’t expected the enemy to choose such a method. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Huo the Fire Spirit appeared, a mass of crimson flame rushing into the sea of fire, consuming all the flames within moments.
With a shift of his Divine Sense, Lin Feng immediately detected Li Changsong’s presence and hurried with Tao Tao towards his location.
Upon seeing Li Changsong, they discovered he had been severely burned, his entire body nearly turned to charcoal. Lin Feng promptly took out an elixir and fed it into Li Changsong’s mouth, simultaneously unleashing golden light to envelop Li Changsong.
In the dark night, the Holy Pill Pavilion burst into golden light, appearing especially dazzling, leaving everyone who witnessed this scene amazed, unsure of what was happening inside the Holy Pill Pavilion...
Four hours later, the golden light dissipated, and by now Li Changsong was no longer in serious danger. His skin had already undergone a complete regeneration, only his spirit remained somewhat weak. This was because Lin Feng was present; he spared no expense in directly feeding Li Changsong a Healing Saint Pill Jade Bone Rapid Growth Pill, coupled with Lin Feng’s special Gang Qi capable of healing, to achieve this. Otherwise, Li Changsong would have certainly been doomed today!
"What happened?" Lin Feng asked softly, looking at the now safe Li Changsong, but his tone still carried a hint of anger.
"How did Holy Pill Pavilion catch fire, and how did you get injured?" Tao Tao asked quickly, standing aside. She was really perplexed now; Holy Pill Pavilion wouldn’t inexplicably encounter strange fire, and Li Changsong, being a person of Divine Origin Realm, shouldn’t be burned to this extent. There must be something odd here!
"To the young master and miss, tonight we closed and shut down for business not long ago, resting in the backyard. Suddenly the front courtyard caught fire, I led the people immediately to extinguish the fire, but I didn’t expect, that this fire was simply not ordinary fire, ordinary water couldn’t extinguish it, could only use Yuangang to suppress, so I sent people to find Elder Chu, while I rushed into the sea of fire, using Yuangang to suppress the flames until the young master and miss returned..."
Li Changsong said weakly. Facing such a situation, he truly had no way out, who would have thought that the arsonist would use such a method? He really did his best, yet still allowed Holy Pill Pavilion to be burned to this extent, his heart filled with guilt. Lin Feng entrusted Holy Pill Pavilion to him, yet not even a day had passed before such a thing happened, he truly felt he had let Lin Feng down.
"It’s okay, I’m back, nothing will happen again." After listening to Li Changsong’s account, Lin Feng understood the situation, gently patting Li Changsong’s shoulder, speaking to him. After finishing, he looked at Tao Tao, saying to her: "Arrange things here, clean up this place, I’ll go for a walk."
Subsequently, Lin Feng’s figure moved and disappeared into Holy Pill Pavilion.
Tao Tao roughly guessed what Lin Feng intended to do, said nothing, and immediately followed Lin Feng’s instructions, organizing the shop’s staff to start cleaning, gathering all the elixirs that hadn’t burned, placing them in the underground room in the backyard, meanwhile, being alert for any further attacks.
"Boss, the killing intent on your body is so strong!"
Standing on Lin Feng’s shoulder, Tangyuan felt the boundless killing intent from Lin Feng, wide-eyed it said, even its small body trembled continuously, merely killing intent was so terrifying, it now suspected Lin Feng might slaughter the entire Xucheng!
"There is a principle in this world, and that is to show your fangs to all enemies. Since they dared to do such a despicable thing to Holy Pill Pavilion, then they can’t blame me, Lin Feng, for being ruthless!" Lin Feng’s voice was cold, the murderously intent even stronger, now the appearance of Holy Pill Pavilion had already injured a portion of people’s interests, if you don’t hurt these people, they won’t know what should be done and what shouldn’t.
After hearing Lin Feng’s cold words, Tangyuan knew Lin Feng had definitely figured out how to respond to tonight’s events. Nodding its head, its body shivered, no longer speaking, just quietly standing on Lin Feng’s shoulder.
Zhang Family Pill Shop!
Sun Family Pill Shop!
Panlong Pill Shop!
...
Overnight, all the alchemy workshops in Xucheng were set ablaze without any warning or resistance. Even experts at the Divine Origin Peak couldn’t suppress it, and several of them nearly got incinerated. Each workshop turned into ashes in less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, with no way to extinguish the fire...
In just one night, the entire Xucheng was astounded. They had never encountered such uncontrollable flames before, and over ten elixir pharmacy shops were reduced to ash overnight, suffering severe losses, leaving everyone in Xucheng aghast. They couldn’t imagine what level of expert had done this!
In the morning, several family heads were seated in a restaurant in Xucheng.
"Zhang, this is your idea of a trial, and you’re going to compensate for the loss?"
"In my shop, I couldn’t even save the elixirs, and over ten people died. How do we settle this account?"
"This is your so-called good plan, saying Holy Pill Pavilion will just watch and won’t do anything to us?"
...
Numerous family heads yelled angrily at Patriarch Zhang; they were truly furious now. How could they believe Zhang’s nonsense? Although the Holy Pill Pavilion was burned once, it caused no major incidents, whereas their elixir pharmacy shops were not spared, all turning to ashes. How could they not be angry? Now they wished to kill this damned guy!
Patriarch Zhang now looked ashen-faced, unable to speak as he faced everyone. He hadn’t expected Holy Pill Pavilion to strike so ruthlessly, and the special flames were even more terrifying than their own Sunflame Beast Fire, even a Divine Origin Peak expert couldn’t suppress it. Who would believe such a thing when told?
But now the die is cast, and no explanation would help. The losses of the others must be borne by him because he came up with the idea, and it was his men who set the fires, implicating other families in such losses. If he didn’t compensate, Zhang Family would face an alliance attack from all of Xucheng’s families and have no place to stand.
"Our Zhang Family will bear all your losses!" Patriarch Zhang said gloomily and depressingly, feeling internally defeated. So many elixir pharmacy shops’ losses by compensating, which would hurt Zhang Family’s vitality, but now he had no choice but to make this decision, leaving Zhang Family’s future affairs unconsidered.
Patriarch Zhao also had thoughts at this time. After hesitating slightly, he said to everyone: "Everyone, you’ve seen the current situation. The anger of Holy Pill Pavilion is extraordinary, beyond our ability to oppose. Not to mention anything else, just that special flame can wipe out all our families, so I propose that from now on, none of us provoke Holy Pill Pavilion, or our losses will be even greater!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
...
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed agreement. None of them were fools; it’s apparent from the current situation that the power of Holy Pill Pavilion is beyond what they can imagine. Moreover, Holy Pill Pavilion was remarkably ruthless, burning down all elixir pharmacy shops in Xucheng overnight as a declaration of revenge, proving that Holy Pill Pavilion wasn’t afraid of numerous prominent families, or they wouldn’t have carried out such indiscriminate retaliation!
After these matters were briefly discussed, everyone dispersed, tacitly organizing the repairs for their respective elixir pharmacy shops, with no one seeking any statement from Holy Pill Pavilion...
Faced with such attitudes from so many prominent families, everyone in Xucheng was astonished!
"My heavens, do you know, Holy Pill Pavilion burned down the elixir pharmacy shops of all the major families, yet the major families didn’t even make a sound!"
"What’s the big deal; Holy Pill Pavilion is strong! It suppresses all major families to death!"
"I always thought Holy Pill Pavilion was extraordinary; without that strength, how could they run elixir pharmacy shops? This first fire was too fierce!"
"Exactly, exactly, one of my friends was outside Zhao Family Alchemy Workshop and saw the fire disaster, which started without warning, and water couldn’t extinguish it. It’s truly peculiar!"
...
Everyone in the city discussed this event. From each family’s attitude, they’ve finally discerned a hint that something was wrong. Actually, observant people could see that the fires in the numerous alchemy workshops were framed by Holy Pill Pavilion. They were merely amazed by the revenge method of Holy Pill Pavilion; the special flames turned the huge alchemy workshops into ashes in less than a cup of tea’s time, and even the people inside couldn’t escape. Just how terrifying must these flames be—they couldn’t even begin to imagine...
