As for when the crowd's anger subsided, they would split up and target Ren Zhongyuan and Liu Ziyu so that they wouldn't dare to act rashly, and in the blink of an eye, the scene of a group attack would disappear.
Ren Zhongyuan was extremely unwilling, but now that things had come to this, he couldn't continue to incite the crowd to target Lin Yi. If he really angered Liu Ziyu, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences either.
"Deputy Dean Liu, I can't do anything about it. However, if I can detoxify everyone, you can't possibly continue to protect this kid, right? The poisoning must be investigated to the end! "Ren Zhongyuan immediately bargained.
"You can detoxify?" Liu Ziyu glanced at him.
"That's right. Don't forget that I'm a fifth-grade alchemist. Since it's confirmed that it's the Heart-Piercing Sea Anemone's poison, I have a way to refine an antidote. As long as everyone takes it, they'll naturally be safe and sound!" Ren Zhongyuan said proudly.
Once he said this, everyone instantly became excited again. All of them looked at Ren Zhongyuan with fervent gazes. As long as he could refine an antidote, it would be equivalent to saving all of their lives.
"Then how many can you refine?" Liu Ziyu asked with a frown.
"This antidote is slightly complicated, but there are various materials stored on the ship. I can refine one in two hours!" Ren Zhongyuan still had a smug look on his face. The Heart-Piercing Sea Anemone's poison was not low, and the corresponding antidote had reached the fifth-grade. For him to be able to refine one in two hours was already a very shocking speed.
"One in two hours? Then how long can so many people last? " Liu Ziyu instantly frowned. There were close to a hundred disciples from the East Continent present. Wouldn't Ren Zhongyuan have to wait for 100 hours? And this was on the condition that he didn't sleep or rest!
Now, only four hours had passed, and there were already three people who couldn't hold on any longer. Not to mention 100 hours, looking at the way things were going, it wouldn't even take 20 hours for everyone to die!
"Huh? This … "Ren Zhongyuan was stunned. Previously, he had been thinking of framing Lin Yi, thinking that after he killed Lin Yi, he would stand up and detoxify the poison. However, he had neglected this crucial point. How was he going to detoxify the poison of so many people?
At this moment, the faces of everyone present instantly turned deathly pale. It wasn't easy for them to grab onto the last life-saving straw, but in the end, it was really just a straw. It couldn't save their lives at all. If this went on, wouldn't they only be waiting for death?
Looking at Ren Zhongyuan's dumbfounded expression, Liu Ziyu, who had been holding onto a bit of hope, was completely speechless. They had already left the west island for more than a day, and it was too late for them to return now. This was really a big deal.
With Liu Ziyu's strength, he was confident that he could suppress the poisonous gas, but the others could not. The longer this dragged on, the more disciples from the East Continent would be affected by the poison. By then, there would definitely be large groups of people dying.
With so many people dying at once, Liu Ziyu would be too ashamed to answer to the various academies in the East Continent after he returned. With such a big stain on him, it would basically be impossible for him to be entrusted with any important tasks in the future.
Everyone sighed, and the already depressing atmosphere became filled with despair. Liu Ziyu's expression also became grim. Once people were forced into a corner, they would be able to do anything. Once someone took the risk out of desperation, it would be impossible for the matter today to end peacefully.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you let me give it a try?"
"What?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Ren Zhongyuan looked at Lin Yi as if he was looking at an idiot and sneered in disdain. "Give it a try? Do you know what you're saying? My detoxification pill is a fifth-grade medicinal pill. What are you going to use to try it? Don't tell me you're also a fifth-grade alchemist? "
"Fifth-grade alchemist? Then I'm really not one. " Lin Yi shook his head calmly. However, before Ren Zhongyuan could let out a complacent laugh, he said in a calm tone, "But if it's just a fifth-grade medicinal pill, I can refine a hundred of them in two hours. It shouldn't be difficult for me to detoxify everyone."
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. Being able to refine a hundred fifth-grade medicinal pills in two hours, what exactly was this guy's background?!
"Huh?" After being stunned for a moment, Ren Zhongyuan pointed at Lin Yi's nose and stomped his feet, shouting, "Impossible! You're freaking spouting nonsense! Refining a hundred fifth-grade medicinal pills in two hours, even a seventh-grade alchemist like my father can't do it. Do you think you're a god? You're really daydreaming! "
"Hehe, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Anyway, everyone doesn't have a choice. It's like trying everything in a hopeless situation. What's the harm in letting me try? Who knows, I might really succeed?" Lin Yi smiled unconcernedly.
The others didn't think much of it, but Liu Ziyu's eyes lit up when she heard it. Out of everyone present, only she, Huo Yudie, and Ning Xuefei knew Lin Yi's background. This guy was an amazing person who could refine eight Profound Thunder Pills in a day. Although refining a hundred fifth-grade medicinal pills in two hours sounded very exaggerated, to Lin Yi, it might not really be impossible.
Even if he couldn't do it, it was still better than Ren Zhongyuan, who could only refine one pill in two hours. Only if Lin Yi came out to help, the many East Continent disciples present would have a chance of survival. Otherwise, they could only sit there and wait for death.
"Since that's the case, then the two of you will refine as many pills as you can. Everyone's lives are in the hands of the two of you, so you must do your best." Liu Ziyu immediately decided.
Lin Yi naturally had no objections to this, while Ren Zhongyuan looked at him coldly. Today, because of Liu Ziyu's protection, he couldn't kill this brat. However, since things had developed to this point, it wasn't like he couldn't make use of it.
His eyes turning, Ren Zhongyuan ordered someone to bring over a pen and paper. He wrote down some ingredients on it in a flamboyant manner, and said coldly to Lin Yi, "I don't care what you're planning, brat, but since things have developed to this point, I won't say anything else. This is the antidote pill formula."
Lin Yi stretched out his hand to receive it. Although antidote pills generally had a general template, there was no absolute omnipotent antidote pill in this world. If one wanted to truly detoxify the poison, they had to find the right medicine for the illness. In the past, Lin Yi had never even heard of the Heart-Piercing Anemone. If he wanted to refine the antidote, he could only rely on the pill formula Ren Zhongyuan provided.
However, Ren Zhongyuan suddenly took back the pill formula and snorted coldly, "This is a fifth-grade pill formula, something that can't even be bought in the market. You want to take it away so casually? Don't you know how to behave yourself?"
Liu Ziyu was about to speak, but he was stopped by Lin Yi's gaze. He looked at Ren Zhongyuan calmly and said, "Then what do you want? Don't tell me you want me to fork out spirit jades to buy it? "
