Lin Shen and Tang Yue looked at each other in surprise.

Unexpectedly, their destination was right under their feet!

Lin Shen immediately made a decision. He grabbed the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice,

“Lead the way!”

A hint of reluctance flashed across the middle-aged man’s eyes. In the end, he succumbed to the fear of death and led the way for Lin Shen with a pale face.

Perhaps it was because the matter of imprisoning the spirit cats had kept a secret, apart from the middle-aged butler and the maid who had been knocked out by Lin Shen, there was no one else in the building.

Along the way down from the top floor, they didn’t encounter any other servants or guards.

Not long after, the three of them stopped in front of an iron door.

Under Lin Shen’s cold gaze, the butler shakily took out a key and opened the iron door.

As soon as the iron door opened, Tang Yue rushed in impatiently.

A few seconds later, the sounds of cats meowing could be heard from inside.

Lin Shen didn’t go in. He stood at the door and waited patiently for a while.

Soon, Tang Yue walked out with more than 20 spirit cats behind her.

Most of these spirit cats had dull fur and were emaciated. It was obvious that they didn’t have a good life here.

However, after knowing that he was about to leave the Sea of Bitterness, his eyes still flashed with joy.

After seeing Lin Shen, many spirit cats looked at him curiously.

Tang Yue nodded slightly at Lin Shen.

“I’ve asked them. All the clansmen who were captured during this period of time were imprisoned here. In addition, some of them were taken out of this cell and never returned.”

Lin Shen turned to look at the butler. The latter immediately shuddered and waved his hands in fear.

“It’s none of my business. I’m just following Master’s instructions. I don’t know why he took those spirit cats away!”

Seeing that the butler didn’t seem to be lying, Lin Shen immediately lost interest and ended the conversation. With a crack, he broke the butler’s neck.

After throwing away the corpse, Lin Shen said to Tang Yue, “Contact your companions.”

Tang Yue nodded and didn’t even look at the corpse on the ground.

Toward these villains who harmed her companions, she wished she could kill them herself!

While Tang Yue was contacting her companions, Jing Hai sat cross-legged on the ground in the medicine room on the second floor of the main building of in the center of the manor. He frowned at the black waste pill in front of him with a gloomy expression.

As he was in his own territory, there was no need to hide his identity, so he did not wear the ferocious ghost mask.

However, the figure sitting opposite him was dressed in his usual black robe and mask.

“So, this is the new pill you mentioned?”

The black-robed man looked at the waste pill on the ground, and his indifferent tone carried a trace of dissatisfaction.

Jing Hai looked up at him and snorted.

“Every new pill has to experience thousands of failures. It’s already not easy for me to have such achievements in just two months!”

The black-robed man said indifferently, “You are an apothecary, not an alchemist.”

Jing Hai suddenly raised his head and stared at the black-robed man. His eyes flickered with intense anger and unwillingness.

“My alchemy skills isn;t inferior to those irresponsible bastards! If I were a cultivator master, I would have been an official alchemist long ago!”

“Then you should focus on collecting cultivators as ingredients of you pills instead of distracting yourself with other things.” The black-robed man softened his tone, not wanting to agitate his companions.

Jing Hai also calmed down at this moment and said coldly, “It’s easy for you to say! The Martial Enforcement Hall is chasing us so closely. We can barely protect ourselves now, let alone capturing cultivators!”

After a pause, Jing Hai’s eyes flickered.

“It’s been a long time since the two lords sent any new messages, right? Can you contact them?”

The black-robed man was silent for a moment. Clearly, the answer was no.

Jing Hai sneered. “Looks like they’re planning to give up on us. At this point, unless one of us breaks through the bottleneck and becomes a cultivator master, it’s only a matter of time before the organization is annihilated by the Martial Enforcement Hall! How about it? Do you still plan to stop me now?”

After a long silence, the black-robed man sighed.

“I’m not trying to stop you. It’s just that using the demons to refine Blood Spirit Pills is an unprecedented thing. The chances of success are extremely slim. I don’t want you to waste too much time and energy on this and delay your business.”

“You don’t have to worry about that!”

Jing Hai waved his hand and remained stubborn.

“Just focus on collecting the pill ingredient. As long as you have the ingredients, send them to me directly. I guarantee that you won’t miss out on refining pills!

“As for the matters here, you don’t have to worry about it. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. If it succeeds, we can use this to turn the situation around. Isn’t that a great thing?

“Aren’t you afraid of attracting the attention of people by capturing spirit cats everywhere?” The black-robed man said in a low voice.

“It’s just a group of wandering spirit cats. No one will care about them. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“The cat general of Dragonside City…”

“You also know that it’s Dragonside City. No matter how powerful an unofficial god is, what can he do about Silverscale City?”

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Jing Hai, the black-robed man sighed and shook his head.

Jing Hai cast a sidelong glance at the black-robed man and changed the topic. “Don’t just talk about me. How are things on your side? Didn’t you say that you found a top-notch ingredient?’

At the mention of this, the eyes under the black-robed man’s mask flashed, and he nodded slightly.

“That person is indeed an excpetional ingredient!”

The black-robed man’s praise made Jing Hai curious. He leaned forward slightly and looked intrigued.

“Better than the ingredient you’ve been preparing for years?”

The black-robed man chuckled. “If I can use him to refine Blood Spirit Pills, I’m almost certain that I’ll break through the bottleneck!”

Jing Hai was shocked, but then he was overjoyed.

“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take that person down!”

“It’s not that simple.” The black-robed man shook his head slightly. “That person is now a popular genius in the Nine Yang Academy. Everyone is watching him. If I’m reckless, even if I succeed in taking him down, I’ll be exposed.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“Let me think about it.”

Jing Hai clicked his tongue in disapproval.

The black-robed man didn’t mind and said unhurriedly,

“That person can’t be underestimated. It won’t be easy for me to capture him alive without attracting the attention of others.”

Jing Hai was skeptical.

“Why is a meredisciple worthy of your attention? Is he a disciple of the upper house?”

“No, he’s just a Heaven-rank disciple.”

“A Bright Aperture Stage Heaven-rank disciple?”

“Long Breath Stage.”

The corner of Jing Hai’s mouth twitched, and he flicked his sleeve angrily.

“He’s just a junior at the Long Breath Stage. Why are you being so seriously? With your cultivation level, wouldn’t it be easy for you to deal with a disciple at the Long Breath Stage?”

The black-robed man shook his head slightly. “He’s not an ordinary Long Breath Stage cultivator.”

Jing Hai didn’t believe him at all and sneered. “How special can a mere Long Breath Stage cultivator be?”

“He cultivated a Path-stage martial technique.”

Jing Hai’s expression froze, and he looked extremely shocked.

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence.

“Are you telling the truth?”

The black-robed man glanced at him but didn’t answer.

Jing Hai didn’t really doubt the black-robed man’s words. He only asked because he was too shocked.

Even with his many years of experience, he had never seen a Path-stage martial technique mastered by someone at the Long Breath Stage.

He didn’t expect that someone could really achieve such an impossible task!

“No wonder you value him so much…”

After recovering from his shock, Jing Hai’s eyes lit up.

To be able to cultivate a Path-stage martial technique at the Long Breath Stage, his talent and spirituality were unparalleled!

If such a genius was used to refine Blood Spirit Pills, he would probably be able to refine third-grade Blood Spirit Pills at the very least!

If one was lucky, they could have a Grade-4. Blood Spirit Pill!

If that was the case, their long-cherished wish would definitely come true!

Thinking of this, Jing Hai grew excited. He wished he could capture that person and refine pills now..
