"What kind of secret realm is it?" Feng Yuqin asked curiously.
What on earth was this secret realm that could make a sect do such inhumane things to so many people?
"It's the place where a divine - level alchemist fell. The number of people allowed to enter is limited. The Pill Sect wants to monopolize it, so they've staged this farce." Li Song said. "I wonder if Lady Mo has a way to deal with this toxin?"
"If I do have a way, can I enter this secret realm too?" Feng Yuqin raised an eyebrow and asked.
Her daughter was curious about the conspiracy here, but it didn't mean she would help for free.
After all, they were not relatives or friends. The matters of the people in these cities should naturally be handled by the city lord.
"Of course." Li Song replied. "Each city has five spots. Now the Pill Sect is doing this to force us to make a choice."
"What if I want four spots?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Li Song was taken aback. He turned to look at the three little kids and asked, "Lady Mo, do you mean that these three kids will enter too?"
"Is that not allowed?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrow.
A look of hesitation flashed across Li Song's eyes. But thinking about the current situation of Li City, he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Lady Mo can detoxify the people in the city, I'll discuss it with my father."
"Can you make the decision?" Feng Yuqin asked again.
Li Song nodded. "I can."
Feng Yuqin said, "It doesn't need to be that complicated. Two spots will do."
Li Song looked at Feng Yuqin. Seeing her serious expression, he asked, "Is what you said true, Lady?"
Feng Yuqin said calmly, "You made this promise without even confirming if I can detoxify, which shows that you value the people in the city. I'm quite satisfied with this. So I only need two spots, and I can solve the toxin problem."
Li Song's eyes lit up. "Can you really solve it, Lady?"
Actually, Li Song wasn't sure.
After all, Feng Yuqin was so young.
There were alchemists in Li City too. The most powerful one was over a hundred years old, but he still couldn't solve this toxin.
But Feng Yuqin looked less than twenty, yet she said she could solve it.
He thought it was unlikely in his heart, but he had no other choice.
So he didn't want to miss any chance.
The reason why Feng Yuqin was willing to help was, first, Xiaolinger was curious, and second, she had a good impression of Li Song.
Even though he couldn't be sure if she could detoxify, he still maintained the proper courtesy and didn't show any disrespect because of that.
So she was willing to help.
"Ask someone to count the number of people." Feng Yuqin said. "Then arrange a place for me to refine pills."
"Don't you need to check?" Li Song asked. "Your pills before only seemed to relieve the symptoms."
"That was because I didn't want to cure them. After all, those people had nothing to do with me." Feng Yuqin said calmly. "Now that it's you, the young city lord of Li City, who wants to treat them, the situation is different."
Li Song: "..."
"The toxin is still spreading, and there are a large number of people. Can you refine the pills in time?" Li Song asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Xiaolinger beside him said with a smile, "Young City Lord, are you doubting my mother?"
Xiaobao said, "If you keep doubting my mother's ability, she might not treat them in the end. You'll be crying then."
Li Song: "..."
Such a young child could say such things. This made Li Song feel that this family was not ordinary.
Moreover, seeing Feng Yuqin's confident look, he could only go and make the arrangements.
Li Song asked the butler to count the number of people, and he personally led Feng Yuqin to the pill - refining room.
Before they even reached the pill - refining room, the news that Li Song had brought an alchemist into the city lord's mansion had reached the ears of several alchemists.
So when they saw Li Song really bringing Feng Yuqin over, they were all shocked.
"Young City Lord, do you know what you're doing?" An old man asked in a bad tone.
"Elder Wu, although you've been in the pill - refining room recently, I'm sure you're aware of the situation in the city." Li Song tried to soften his tone and explained. "Lady Mo is the guest I invited to solve this toxin problem."
Although he explained, it was also clear that Feng Yuqin was the guest he had invited personally. If they were sensible, they shouldn't interfere.
Apparently, these people had been supported by the city lord's mansion for a long time, and their tempers had grown.
Hearing Li Song's words, they were not sensible but sneered, "Young Master Li, are you sure she can detoxify? If this girl under twenty can detoxify, then haven't we all lived in vain?"
Xiaolinger beside them laughed and said, "Grandpa, you might have really lived in vain."
"What did you say?" Elder Wu glared angrily at Xiaolinger.
Dabao and Xiaobao immediately protected their younger sister. Xiaobao even stared directly at Elder Wu and said, "My sister said you might have really lived in vain. After all, my mother's alchemy talent can't be compared with that of ordinary people."
"You..." Seeing that Elder Wu was about to get angry, Li Song immediately stepped forward and said, "Elder Wu, time is pressing. I hope you won't make trouble here."
"You actually say I'm making trouble." Elder Wu got angry again.
"Do you think you're very good at alchemy?" Feng Yuqin, who had been silent, said calmly.
Hearing Feng Yuqin's words, Elder Wu seemed to hear a funny joke. "The few of us are the most powerful alchemists in Li City."
"It's a pity that you haven't solved the crisis in Li City this time." Dabao added bluntly.
Elder Wu gave Dabao a cold look again.
Feng Yuqin said, "Since you think you're so powerful, let's prove it with strength."
"Lady Mo..." Li Song was actually a bit worried.
Although he was dissatisfied with Elder Wu's attitude today, he had to admit that in Li City, their alchemy skills were indeed the most powerful.
Feng Yuqin didn't say a word. She just walked directly to an alchemy furnace. There were all kinds of medicinal herbs beside it. She selected a few and threw them in. Elder Wu beside her immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Refining pills." Feng Yuqin said calmly.
This time, not only did Elder Wu stare with wide eyes, but the other alchemists were also looking at her in disbelief.
Even a look of disbelief flashed across Li Song's eyes.
Xiaolinger scanned the reactions of everyone and said to Li Song, "Young Master Li, don't worry. My mother is reliable when it comes to alchemy."
Hearing this, Li Song looked at Xiaolinger and asked, "Does your mother usually refine pills like this?"
Xiaolinger thought for a while. It wasn't entirely like this. "Normally, my mother controls more than one furnace, so she's not this casual when refining pills."
Hearing this, Elder Wu sneered, "Are you sure you're not joking? It's not easy for an alchemist to control one furnace at a time. You actually say she can control two?"
