"Bai Zihe?"
In the royal palace of Da Han, King Li Chengzai received this news, his face extremely grim. He immediately summoned the three top experts.
"Da Xia has produced a master."
"He claims to be invincible and even declared that all of us in Da Han are scum, not even worthy of carrying his shoes..."
As soon as Li Chengzai finished speaking.
The three top experts were already furious.
"How dare he!"
"This man is too arrogant!"
"Your Majesty, we request to be sent to battle, and we will surely return with his head."
Xuantian Pavilion.
Bai Zihe placed all the medicinal herbs out, and once again couldn't help but marvel.
These medicinal herbs...
The quantity was astonishing.
The rarity was enough to stir one's heart.
Just placing them in this room filled the air with fragrance, making one unable to resist taking a deep breath, followed by a feeling of refreshed spirit.
His waist no longer ached.
His kidneys no longer hurt.
He felt energetic enough for anything!
Thirty-six moves of love, capable of a thousand rounds without issue.
"Hmm, what is this..."
Bai Zihe began to sort them one by one.
Suddenly, he discovered a "Xuanqing grass." This was the very herb he had seen on the parchment before, one of the ingredients for refining the "Du'e Pill"!
"This is..."
As soon as Bai Zihe put down the Xuanqing grass, he saw a cluster of "Huolong flowers." This was also one of the ingredients for refining the "Du'e Pill."
This made Bai Zihe both surprised and delighted.
Originally, he had thought that the ingredients for the Du'e Pill would be very troublesome to find.
But now, it seemed that the "Koreans" of Da Han had saved him some trouble, preventing him from having to search slowly.
Bai Zihe carefully organized them.
It took him several hours to finish organizing all the medicinal herbs, and by then, the sky outside was almost dark.
"Junior Brother, it's time for dinner."
Yue Rushuang walked in and saw the neatly stacked medicinal herbs. She couldn't help but sigh, "Junior Brother, you truly have some skills."
"These medicinal herbs... they make my eyes blur."
She had helped for a while in the afternoon but quickly gave up after mistaking one herb for another.
"Let's go, we'll sort them after dinner."
"Okay."
After dinner.
Bai Zihe reviewed the refining method for the Du'e Pill.
Although the Du'e Pill was poisonous.
It still had to be refined.
A considerable amount of time had passed since his younger sister used the "Gu King Spirit Pearl."
He didn't know how long that thing would remain effective.
And once the Gu King Spirit Pearl's time limit was reached, it had to be removed, otherwise Bai Ruoyi would be in mortal danger on the spot.
At that time.
The effect of the Du'e Pill would become apparent.
Refining pills...
This was a difficult task for many physicians, but Bai Zihe, having received the true teachings of his fourth martial aunt, found it a simple matter.
"Fifth Senior Sister."
The process of refining medicine was most susceptible to disturbance.
Therefore, Bai Zihe found Yue Rushuang in advance and told her, "I need to refine a batch of pills. Please ensure that no one disturbs me."
Yue Rushuang immediately promised, "Junior Brother, go ahead and refine. With me here, no one in Xuantian Pavilion will be able to get within ten zhang of this room."
Bai Zihe immediately began refining the pills.
He continued until the next morning.
Yue Rushuang noticed that Bai Zihe's door was still locked, so she continued to have people guard him.
"Bai Zihe, come out and face death!"
Not long after, a furious roar suddenly came from outside.
Yue Rushuang immediately led the experts of Xuantian Pavilion to the main entrance.
The person who arrived was Zhou Dingyuan.
Today was the day of the duel between Bai Zihe and Gu Chengkong, the president of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
Zhou Dingyuan, as the vanguard, naturally arrived quickly.
He was already impatient to see Bai Zihe beaten to a pulp by Gu Chengkong, kneeling on the ground like a dog, begging for mercy.
Behind him were Gu Chengkong and the elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
Yue Rushuang said calmly, "Junior Brother is still in seclusion. Please... wait a moment."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions darkened.
Gu Chengkong's old eyes narrowed, flashing with a dangerous glint. "Pavilion Master Yue, Bai Zihe has postponed his match with me multiple times."
"Could it be that he is afraid?"
"If he dares not to fight me, let him cut off his own head!"
Gu Chengkong's words were incredibly arrogant and dismissive.
Yue Rushuang's anger ignited upon hearing this, "Old curmudgeon, do not be hasty. When my junior brother emerges from seclusion, he will surely teach you a lesson!"
"When he emerges from seclusion?"
Gu Chengkong let out a cold laugh and unleashed a palm strike.
"Rumble!"
In an instant, the surging palm force output like a dragon, fiercely striking the main gate of Xuantian Pavilion.
The gate instantly shattered into pieces and exploded outward.
"Charge!"
"Go in and capture that brat Bai Zihe!"
Gu Chengkong gave the order without further ado, directly ordering his men to force their way into Xuantian Pavilion.
Yue Rushuang's pretty face turned as cold as frost, "Stop them!"
"Clatter!"
"Rumble!"
The experts of Xuantian Pavilion poured out and engaged in a battle with the men of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
However...
The experts of Xuantian Pavilion specialized in infiltration and intelligence gathering.
They were not particularly skilled at fighting.
Soon, they were in full retreat, pushed to the doorstep of their own home by the men of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
Just as their doorstep was about to be lost.
"Stop!"
A delicate shout came from the distance.
