"That's the Lady Mo you mentioned?" Lord Li inquired.
Li Song immediately introduced her to his father. "Father, this is Lady Mo. Outside are her three children and her spiritual pet."
"Greetings, Lady Mo," Lord Li said. He had also heard that Feng Yuqin had refined pills.
Feng Yuqin nodded in greeting. "Greetings, Lord Li."
Lord Li glanced at Elder Wu and the others, then asked Li Song, "What happened here?"
Li Song didn't know how to answer.
It was Elder Wu who spoke up. "It's nothing much. I'm just feeling hopeless after being outshone by a genius alchemist."
Everyone: "..."
Outside, Little Ling'er heard this and giggled. "Actually, you don't have to be like this. After all, in this world, those who can reach my mother's level are truly gifted, while you are the hardworking type."
Everyone: "..."
Feng Yuqin looked at her daughter helplessly. "Are you full?"
Little Ling'er nodded. "Can I continue refining pills?"
Lord Li thought he had misheard.
Then, Feng Yuqin's voice rang out. "You still want to refine pills? Don't you want to go and rest with your brothers for a while?"
"Being well-fed means being well-rested," Little Ling'er said with a grin.
Seeing that Little Ling'er was in good spirits, Dabao and Xiaobao chimed in. "Mother, let sister refine pills. She likes it. We'll watch over her. If she looks too tired, we'll make her rest."
"You... What did you say?" Lord Li pointed at Little Ling'er. "She can refine pills?"
"Lord, are you looking down on me?" Little Ling'er pouted.
Li Song said, "Father, although she's young, she can refine pills."
Elder Wu added, "And the pills she refined are the antidotes for everyone this time."
The old man in the green robe also spoke up. "We can't even refine these pills. It shows that although she's young, her alchemy skills are better than ours."
The old man in the black robe paused and then added, "The most amazing thing is that Elder Wu wanted to apprentice to this little girl, but she refused."
Elder Wu immediately protested. "What do you mean I'm too ugly? She wants someone good-looking, not saying I'm ugly!"
"You're not in the good-looking category either," the old man in the green robe quipped.
Elder Wu: "..."
Lord Li was stunned. He knew these people wouldn't lie.
So he looked at Little Ling'er in shock. "You're not even two years old, right?"
Little Ling'er nodded. "I'll be two in over a month."
Lord Li: "..."
"Lady Mo, thank you for your help this time," Lord Li said gratefully to Feng Yuqin.
"I'm not helping for free," Feng Yuqin said. "I want two spots to enter the secret realm. If your stay in the secret realm is too long, I'll need other treasures as compensation."
Anyway, she could go to the secret realm if she had time, and skip it if not.
Her main goal was to return to the Desolate City as soon as possible.
"The secret realm will last for about ten days," Lord Li said. "Although it's a secret realm, the crash site is said to be the last place the divine alchemist appeared. It's not his residence, so it's not very big. Ten days should be enough."
"Why did the Pill Sect make such a big fuss?" Feng Yuqin thought there must be other reasons.
Li Song replied, "Although the secret realm is not big, we've heard that the divine alchemist left behind his inheritance. That means whoever gets this inheritance will know where his remaining treasures are."
Feng Yuqin understood.
This divine alchemist surely had more treasures. Maybe he even had a residence.
Lord Li said, "Someone has investigated some things about this divine alchemist. It's clear that when he fell, there were no other people or forces around him, but he left behind many treasures."
"Did the forces behind him get wiped out?" Feng Yuqin asked curiously.
"More or less. It's said that he fought against his enemies. Almost everyone who should have fallen did. But maybe he foresaw his own doom or made the worst plan. When he died, he didn't have many treasures on him. Instead, when others tried to take his treasures, he activated them and created a secret realm.
But when the secret realm was formed, he also trapped his enemies inside. So besides his inheritance, there will be other treasures. This might be the last chance, which is why the Pill Sect is going crazy," Lord Li said.
Feng Yuqin frowned. "If that's the case, the people entering the secret realm will be in great danger."
She had read some records about such people. Usually, they were looking for the fated ones.
If the person was kind, it would be okay. But if they were malicious, those entering the secret realm might be in trouble.
"This secret realm is okay. The main thing is to find the inheritance. It's said that whoever gets this inheritance will get everything related to this alchemist. Even if they don't get it, they won't be in danger. Someone has ventured in before, but it was on a small scale. Now the situation is different, which is why there are poisoned people in the city," Lord Li said.
Feng Yuqin understood. This meant that the secret realm might not last much longer.
If they didn't enter to search for treasures this time, they might never have another chance.
That's why the Pill Sect was taking such a big risk.
"I do have time to take a look in ten days," Feng Yuqin said to Lord Li. "I'll leave enough pills for you."
Lord Li was overjoyed.
He knew that the people of Li City were saved.
But thinking of other cities, Lord Li hesitated and asked, "I have a few friends. Their cities are in a similar situation..."
Feng Yuqin knew what he meant and said calmly, "I don't need the spots. I can exchange them for treasures. I'll make the pills for you as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Lady Mo," Lord Li said. "The day to enter the secret realm is in three days. I'll have them send the rewards to you before tomorrow. But about the pills..."
"The pills will be sufficient," Feng Yuqin said. "Actually, your poison isn't too difficult to deal with. I have some in stock. So you don't have to worry. You just need to bring the medicinal materials to exchange for the pills."
"Of course. We won't let you use your own medicinal materials," Lord Li immediately said.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Elder Wu and the others felt the same way.
