Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, sir."

"Sir, I want to separate the blood jade from your dantian to open the cave left by that ancient cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qishan didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately said:

"No problem."

"After all, the family's matters have almost calmed down, and this old bone of mine has fulfilled its mission."

"Yu, I have only one request. If the Bai Family encounters trouble after I'm gone, you can't stand by and do nothing."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said.

"Sir, rest assured, I have already found a solution, there's no need to worry about life-threatening danger."

Bai Qishan was shocked and quickly asked:

"Really?"

"How will you solve it?"

Zhou Yu replied.

"Actually, it's quite simple. Just find a King Realm expert of at least Rank Four to forcibly separate the blood jade from the flesh, and then take a pill to restore blood and energy, and there will be no problems."

"Is it really that simple?"

Bai Qishan looked incredulous.

"Can we start now?"

This blood jade had tormented him for too long, and he had long wanted to get rid of it.

Now hearing Zhou Yu's words, he was naturally eager.

"Sir, not yet."

"I haven't refined the pill to restore blood and energy."

"But don't worry, I've already sent someone to collect the herbs, they should be gathered soon, and then I can start refining."

Bai Qishan curiously asked:

"What grade of pill are you going to refine?"

Zhou Yu answered:

"Quasi-Eighth Grade."

Bai Qishan's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock.

...

Hucheng Martial Pavilion Headquarters.

Lin Yinfly worked extremely efficiently, gathering all the herbs Zhou Yu instructed him to collect in just two days.

Even Zhou Yu himself was surprised.

"Is it really that easy to collect?"

Lin Yinfly smiled and said:

"In the past, it would have been difficult."

"But now, the Han Family, Ao Family, and these forces are very cooperative. Plus, with the increasing prestige of our Martial Pavilion, many people brought me the herbs when they heard I was looking for them."

"It's all thanks to your efforts, Minister."

Zhou Yu suddenly understood, then waved his hand and said.

"No need for flattery."

"Since the herbs are gathered, I will start alchemy tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yinfly immediately said, "Minister, there's another matter..."

"What is it?"

"Well..."

Lin Yinfly hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"The commotion caused during the gathering of herbs has made many forces speculate that you're going to refine a high-level elixir, and they've expressed a desire to watch. What do you think about this..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and instead of answering, he looked at Lin Yinfly and asked.

"What do you think?"

Lin Yinfly immediately said:

"I think it's possible."

"Since refining a top-level elixir causes a big commotion that's impossible to hide, we might as well make it public and let them watch, which is also good for the prestige of the Martial Pavilion."

"But..."

At this point, Lin Yinfly suddenly showed a look of hesitation.

"But what?"

"I'm just worried that someone might harbor malicious intentions."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"No worries."

"Let's do as you suggested, make the alchemy public."

"I'm curious to see who would try anything nefarious."

Seeing Zhou Yu's determination, Lin Yinfly immediately said:

"Yes."

Then, Lin Yinfly turned and left.

In just a day, the news that the new Minister of the Martial Pavilion was going to publicly refine a Quasi-Eighth Grade Elixir spread throughout the upper echelons of Hu City.

For a time, many people started to get restless.

After all, the Quasi-Eighth Grade Elixir itself is almost priceless, and the chance to witness the refining process firsthand is even more exciting.

The next day, before dawn, various forces had already gathered around an open space next to the Martial Pavilion, waiting for the alchemy to begin.

Soon, Zhou Yu arrived with the members of the Martial Pavilion.

Upon arrival, the Martial Pavilion members immediately set up a perimeter and placed the pill furnace, herbs, and other alchemy materials in the center of the open space.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu discreetly released his divine sense, scanning the entire area in an instant.

Most of the crowd consisted of leaders from various forces.

The main figures from the Han Family, Zhu Family, Ao Family, Tianyu Commerce Chamber, Asia-East Alliance, and Alchemist Guild were all present.

Besides these, there were many high-level martial artists.

These martial artists' cultivation was at least above the Great Innate Realm.

The majority of people had expressions filled with excitement and anticipation. After all, the opportunity to witness the refining of a Quasi-Eighth Grade Elixir firsthand might come only once in a lifetime.

However, there was a small group with unusually somber expressions.

Leading them was the Alchemist Guild.

After all, someone other than the Alchemist Guild refining such a top-tier elixir was tantamount to a public slap in the face.

The Alchemist Guild's Vice President Liu Zhenlong sneered sarcastically.

"Hmph, Zhou Yu is purposely trying to embarrass the Alchemist Guild."

"Does he really think Quasi-Eighth Grade Elixirs are so easy to refine? If he fails, let's see how he handles it."
