Zhuang Yifan was the president of the Golden Rank Academy Alliance and a great master in the late stage of the Earth Opening Realm. Even so, he only managed to gather thirty percent of the materials.
The Godly Armament Cauldron could be used ten thousand times, but the materials were only enough for three tries. This was the reality. If he couldn't succeed after three tries, it would be equivalent to declaring the alchemy a failure.
Because Zhuang Yifan provided a little more materials, Lin Yi had a little more than two sets left.
He didn't dare to put all of them in at once. Even if the alchemy curve had been adjusted, no one knew if it would succeed before the second result came out. If he needed to make further adjustments, and he was stupid enough to throw in all the materials at once, it would be a joke.
Lin Yi thought about it and put in half of the materials in his hand. Then, he struck while the iron was hot and began the second attempt. The success or failure didn't have much to do with him. It all depended on the Godly Armament Cauldron.
This time, the alchemy process was obviously more complicated than the first time. There were a few strange sounds from time to time. Every time a sound was made, Lin Yi's heart sank a little. This was the rhythm of failure!
However, when he finally opened the Godly Armament Cauldron, he was stunned. There were two yellow pills lying inside. Without a doubt, they were the Earth Solidifying Pills.
It turned out that the strange sounds weren't a sign of failure. It was the legendary saying that the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. Han Jingjing's alchemy artifact was really amazing. It could even produce a mystic class first level pill. It was even able to overproduce as usual. How could those high and mighty mystic class alchemists endure this?
Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief as he held the two solid earth pills in his hand. He'd be able to explain things to Zhuang Yifan now, and there wouldn't be any more unforeseen accidents. If he'd really failed, Zhuang Yifan might've gotten angry out of humiliation and done something unfavorable to him, and that'd be troublesome.
While Lin Yi was refining, Bao Zuoliang and Su Kesheng sneaked off the treasure ship while no one was paying attention.
"Young Master Bao, are you sure you can borrow a flying spirit beast here?" Su Kesheng asked as he followed behind Bao Zuoliang.
"Of course, it's just a flying spirit beast, how could I not be able to borrow it?" Bao Zuoliang rolled his eyes at him.
"But this is the Thunderous Plain Island. It is desolate and uninhabited, and there are no academies or main cities. Where are we going to rent a flying spirit beast?" Su Kesheng asked in astonishment.
"Who said anything about renting it? Why don't you just ask to borrow it from them? Don't forget that there's a branch of the Alliance here, and my father happens to know one of the higher-ups of the Alliance stationed here. As long as I ask, borrowing a flying spirit beast is a small matter, "Bao Zuoliang said proudly.
"So that's how it is. As long as we can borrow a flying spirit beast, our plan will be half successful." Su Kesheng's eyes lit up as he nodded.
"Alright, you didn't dare to say it on the boat because you were afraid that the walls might have ears. Now, you don't have to keep me guessing anymore. Tell me what the plan is!" Bao Zuoliang couldn't wait to ask.
"Young Master Bao, with our current strength, what do you think our chances of winning against Lin Fan are?" Su Kesheng asked instead of answering.
"This …" Bao Zuoliang's expression turned ugly as he said bitterly, "Lin Fan has already made a name for himself. He can challenge Mountain Opening Stage giants by himself. Now, even Zhuang Yifan is on his side. The possibility of us killing him with just the two of us is not high …"
"It's not just not high. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't even have the chance." Su Kesheng mercilessly shattered Bao Zuoliang's last bit of fantasy and said with certainty, "Young Master Bao, don't think that I'm trying to boost the morale of others and diminish our own. To be honest, we are no longer on the same level as Lin Fan. Even your father might not be able to do anything to Lin Fan. He might even be the one to blame."
Even Zhuang Yifan, the head of the alliance, was on Lin Yi's side. Bao Zuoliang's father was just an ordinary city lord. He was nothing compared to Zhuang Yifan. How could he win against Lin Yi?
Bao Zuoliang didn't say anything. Even if Su Kesheng didn't say it, he would've guessed it himself. He didn't want to accept it, but he had to bow his head in the face of this cruel reality. If he did something stupid, not only would he not be able to defeat Lin Yi, but he'd also get himself into trouble.
"Then what do you think we should do? Just give up like this? " Bao Zuoliang said with a frown. He was still lusting after Wang Xinyan, and the feeling of being obsessed with her wasn't something any other girl could compare to. If he were to let her go now, he'd probably never be able to accept it.
Plus, he'd lost to Lin Yi a few times before. It was a great humiliation to him. How could he just let it go like this?
"In fact, putting aside personal preferences and considering the pros and cons, stopping here is actually the best choice." Su Kesheng sighed. He glanced at Bao Zuoliang's gloomy expression and said, "But I think Young Master Bao will definitely not agree to it. In fact, even I don't want to admit defeat so easily. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested sneaking out."
"Alright, that's enough bullshit. Let's get down to business. You asked me to sneak out and borrow a flying spirit beast. What are you planning?" Bao Zuoliang asked. The best choice Su Kesheng had mentioned wasn't even within his scope of consideration.
"My plan is simple. Let's go to Ding City now!" Su Kesheng said with a smile.
"Ding City? Why are we going there? " Bao Zuoliang paused, then reacted. "You're not going to complain to the Ghost of Death, are you?"
"That's right. I'm going to complain to him." Su Kesheng nodded.
The Ghost of Death they were talking about was Chang Laiting's father, Zang Zili's man. He was the mayor of Ding City, Chang Minggui. The Ghost of Death was a nickname that was very appropriate for this big boss of Ding City. Not only did it have the same sound as his name, but he was also a vengeful person who would pay with his life for the slightest offense. Countless people had died at his hands over small matters, and that was why he was called the Ghost of Death!
