The furnace started shaking.

The vapor was also making the room hot.

Lu Changsheng was about to grab Qingfeng and quickly run away.

However, all of a sudden.

The furnace stopped wobbling.

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief.

It was a false alarm.

Lu Changsheng gradually calmed himself down.

“It’s done! The pills are done!” Liu Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly.

Thick vapor slowly rose from the furnace. The fire below it had already died out.

“Open it.” Lu Changsheng was quite excited too. The second pill recipe also worked!

He had no idea what kind of pills they just made though.

Once the lid of the furnace was opened up, it gave off a unique aroma that was surrounded by Qi in the color of blood, the black pills were mixed with a slight touch of red. They truly looked extraordinary.

Liu Qingfeng reached his hand into the furnace to grab the pills.

But before his hand neared them, the hot air made him quickly withdraw his open palm.

Since it was his first time making pills, he forgot the right procedures just now. Liu Qingfeng then pulled out a bottle and casted a spell. The pills in the furnace began to rise in the air and then automatically fall into the jade bottle.

“Senior Brother, look!” Despite the fact that it was Liu Qingfeng’s first time making pills, it was a success.

He was extremely excited. He could now see his dream come true.

“Let me ask you, Junior Brother. What are these pills?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t know what they were, so he decided to ask.

“There’s no problem, Senior Brother, I got this. Among all the ingredients, three are for nourishing blood and eighteen are for tonifying Qi. This means that these pills are Perfect Blood and Qi Nourishing Pills, right?”

Lu Changsheng, “…”

The name was indeed stupid, however, Lu Changsheng didn’t know how to correct Qingfeng.

Once he took a quick glance at pills in the bottle, he opened his mouth, “Qingfeng, try out one of the pills.”

“Okay!” Without a second thought, Liu Qingfeng picked up the pills. However, just before he put the pill in his mouth, he hesitated.

“Senior Brother, what’s the efficacy of the pill?” Thinking twice wasn’t usually Liu Qingfeng’s habit.

“It’s extremely useful,” Lu Changsheng responded in a mysterious tone.

Truthfully, he didn’t have any idea what the efficacy of the pills were.

Of course, this pill recipe didn’t come from nowhere. Lu Changsheng made improvements to the original recipe; the Golden Crow Blood and Qi Pill.

Theoretically speaking, Qingfeng’s guess about the pills was correct.

“Well…” Liu Qingfeng decided to be more cautious with the pills, so he said, “Since these Senior and Junior Brothers are working really hard out there, why don’t we let them try the pills?”

It had to be said that Liu Qingfeng could be quite cunning sometimes. Although he trusted Lu Changsheng, he wouldn’t easily put himself at such risk.

“That’s alright, you can go.” Lu Changsheng wouldn’t insist on something like this, he just needed someone to prove the efficacy of the pills.

“Understood! Please wait for me, Senior Brother. I’ll be back very soon.” Liu Qingfeng pushed open the door and went out to find a brave pill tester.

An hour later.

Liu Qingfeng rushed back in sweat.

“How was it?” Lu Changsheng asked.

“S-senior Brother, it’s t-trouble! T-this is big trouble!” Liu Qingfeng stammered badly.

The look on Lu Changsheng’s face suddenly changed once he saw Liu Qingfeng panic.

What happened?

Did anyone get hurt?

This is over. It’s all over. What happened?

At this time, Lu Changsheng also felt very nervous, however, he still had to look calm and come up with excuses to get out of this predicament.

At the key moment, he thought of ratting Liu Qingfeng out. When he finally became the Chief Leader, he would then compensate Liu Qingfeng for what happened.

“What happened?” Lu Changsheng asked.

“These are pills for nourishing Blood and Qi, but the side-effect is—amnesia,” Liu Qingfeng responded very quickly, he looked extremely anxious as he said this.

“Amnesia?” Lu Changsheng didn’t expect this at all.

“It’s true! Once the person took the pill, he was then surrounded by Qi with the color of blood. I simply thought it was because of the pill’s extraordinary efficacy. However, he soon forgot a lot of things. He even asked me who I was and where he was. This is a really big problem…” Liu Qingfeng anxiously said.

“Who did you give the pill to?” Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s the immediate disciple from the Eminent Violet Saint Land. His name’s Zhao Yang,” Liu Qingfeng’s anxious voice could still be heard from his response.

What?

Lu Changsheng’s heart sank. It wasn’t because the disciple named Zhao Yang was someone very important. But what really mattered was the fact that he wasn’t a disciple from the Zenith Land. If it was an accident that happened within the Zenith Land and its disciples, then Lu Changsheng should’ve been able to handle it relatively easily. In the worst case, Liu Qingfeng could simply take the fall.

However, since a disciple from another sect was involved, it could make things tricky.

“What should we do now, Senior Brother?” Liu Qingfeng’s head was buzzing. If people found out about this, it would be the end of him.

“You don’t need to panic. Let me ask you. Did anyone see you?” Lu Changsheng asked calmly.

“There was no one else. It was just me and him, I saw him at the foot of the peak,” Liu Qingfeng answered.

“What was he doing there?” Lu Changsheng asked.

“He was taking in your transcendent air,” Liu Qingfeng answered honestly.

Lu Changsheng, “…”

“Are you sure nobody saw you?” Lu Changsheng asked again.

Liu Qingfeng spent a few seconds thinking. He then shook his head and said, “Yes, I’m sure.”

Lu Changsheng was slightly relieved by the answer.

“With this being the case, Junior Brother, listen to me,” Lu Changsheng said very seriously, “No matter what happens, don’t tell anyone about this. You never even left this place. You were just here all this time and you were refining pills with me. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingfeng nodded and opened his mouth, “Since no one knows it was me who gave him the pill, I’ll just keep my mouth shut. Is that what you mean, Senior Brother?”

“Exactly!” Lu Changsheng confirmed what Liu Qingfeng had to do just in case.

“But nothing can be kept a secret forever in this world. What if…” Liu Qingfeng was still worried.

“Stop. No matter what happens, don’t say a word about it. If people somehow found out, then I’ll take all the responsibility. You had nothing to do with this,” Lu Changsheng said to Liu Qingfeng seriously as he patted his shoulder.

Honestly speaking, Lu Changsheng couldn’t allow himself to simply sneak away from this problem. Since he made the pill recipe, he should have a sense of responsibility for the problems it caused.

Lu Changsheng really considered himself a good senior brother.

Qingfeng almost burst into tears when he heard this.

However, he wasn’t really in the mood to cry right now.

“What shall we do next?” since Liu Qingfeng currently didn’t have any tears, he decided to ask.

“Let’s focus on refining more pills, act like nothing ever happened,” Lu Changsheng answered back.

“Understood.” Liu Qingfeng nodded.

They then continued their work on refining more pills, this was despite the fact that both of them were quite absent-minded this time.

After a while.

Liu Qingfeng asked again, “Senior Brother, what if that guy’s memories recover?”

This was a key point.

“Then we have to take a risk,” Lu Changsheng coldly said.

“Take a risk? Senior Brother, do you mean—

“We’re gonna kill him?” Liu Qingfeng was really shocked.

Lu Changsheng, “…”

Lu Changsheng didn’t know what to say in response.

Kill him?

Is that really what something a disciple from a righteous sect would say?

Is this Liu Qingfeng an idiot?

If the man’s memories recover, then just give him one more pill.

How dumb!

After Lu Changsheng explained this to Liu Qingfeng.

Liu Qingfeng was enlightened.
