Chapter 890: People?

People?
Central Province.
Inside the Alchemy Pavilion of one of the Nine Great Holy Lands, the Bai Family.
"Ning!!!" With a low murmur from He Yiming, three top-grade Replenishing Heaven Pills suddenly condensed and were grasped in his hand.
"This is how the Replenishing Heaven Pill is refined!" He Yiming said slowly after finishing the refining process.
"Oh my, three Replenishing Heaven Pills in one furnace?"
"It's unbelievable! How is it refined like this? I'm a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, but I can't understand it?"
"Terrifying! Master He Yiming's alchemical attainments are so impressive that it makes me feel like my three thousand years of alchemy practice were for naught!"
...
Thousands of alchemists couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment!
Some of these alchemists were from the Bai Family, while most of the others were alchemists from various forces within the entire domain controlled by the Bai Family.
Although they had heard some rumors, witnessing it with their own eyes was still incredibly shocking!
He Yiming's alchemical accomplishments had already exceeded their understanding!
For example...
Alchemists usually needed to prepare for months in advance, choose an auspicious day and location, and even consider the weather on that day to refine advanced-grade pills like the Replenishing Heaven Pill.
However, He Yiming was able to refine them as he pleased, at any time and anywhere. He could complete it in one go, as if it was a smooth process.
Moreover, he wouldn't refine unless it was a top-grade pill, and he would always refine three Replenishing Heaven Pills from two sets of materials!
His success rate was also 100%, without a single failure!
Previously, even the most famous Fifth-Rank Alchemists in Central Province only had a 50% success rate in refining Replenishing Heaven Pills. On average, they could only refine around 800 pills from two sets of materials, and often those pills would be of middle quality, and even a slight mistake could turn them into low-quality pills!
High-grade Replenishing Heaven Pills were almost a rarity!
And this guy, He Yiming, could refine six top-grade Replenishing Heaven Pills from two sets of materials!
The difference was astonishingly huge!
"Heh..." He Yiming let out a long sigh and glanced at the progress of his system task.
With this round of alchemical activity, he had barely completed one-ninth of the task, but it had already been twenty-one days!
He Yiming knew his methods were correct. Gaining respect and reputation through his profound alchemical skills was the righteous path.
However...
Clearly, using the righteous path wouldn't be enough to complete the system's task in the remaining seventy days!
If the task couldn't be completed, everything else would be in vain!
"Do I really have to resort to unscrupulous means?" He Yiming felt conflicted.
"Master He Yiming!" At this moment, a figure arrived calmly.
Wearing a white gown and with sapphire blue eyes, it was Bai Ruyue.
"Master He Yiming! Regarding that matter, won't you reconsider?" Bai Ruyue softly spoke, her eyes carrying a hint of hopeful anticipation.
"I'm sorry! I already have a wife!" He Yiming replied calmly, firmly rejecting the proposal.
As He Yiming's reputation continued to rise, the Nine Great Holy Lands naturally wanted to establish closer ties with him.
One method they naturally used was marriage!
Bai Ruyue was the first to express her favorable feelings toward He Yiming, and after that, the granddaughters of the various Holy Land Lords in the Nine Great Holy Lands continuously hinted at him.
These hints could be summed up in one meaning!
We know you have a wife, but we don't mind being your side affairs! As long as you're willing, you can have your way with us...
And He Yiming firmly rejected all of them!
"Ah..." Watching He Yiming's departing figure, Bai Ruyue could only sigh with a hint of disappointment. She understood.
The gap between her and He Yiming had become insurmountable!
Although some of He Yiming's disciples were also outstanding!
But...
Any girl who came into contact with He Yiming would find it hard to fall for other men again.
The gap was simply too large!
"At the Yuan Infant stage, a Sect Master, the number one in alchemy, artifact forging, and array formations in this world! At such a young age, and even more importantly, his aura... If there really are immortals in this world, He Yiming is surely one of them!" Bai Ruyue looked at He Yiming's departing figure, unable to hold back her tears.
At this time, He Yiming had returned to the Flame Emperor Sect.
"While orthodox methods are the most stable, there's absolutely not enough time. Perhaps it's time... Wait, what the hell is going on?" He Yiming was stunned by the scene before him.
In the sect's plaza, a large group of animals were happily eating hotpot.
Most of them were giant white pigs, followed by a number of oxen, war tigers, monkeys, and rabbits.
There wasn't a single human around!
He Yiming rubbed his eyes and looked again.
There were tens of thousands of giant white pigs in total, all transformed from Fourth-Trial human players.
"What's going on?" He Yiming felt a headache coming on. He expanded his spiritual awareness to see the situation outside.
"WTF!" As he looked, He Yiming became even more shocked!
To the west of the sect, that enormous battlefield had actually been upgraded!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Over on the side of the Deep Sea King, not only were there more cannons, but in addition to tanks, there were helicopters and bombers!
The Magic Core-powered helicopter carried a Magic Core-powered artillery cannon and was relentlessly sweeping the players' positions, turning groups of giant white pigs into sieves!
Yes, you read that right!
Groups of giant white pigs.
"Damn it, Deep Sea King, aim the anti-aircraft guns and shoot down those damn helicopters!" One of the giant white pigs from the Deep Sea named Mo East China, dressed in military attire, gave the order imperiously and waved his little trotters.
"Magic Core-powered anti-aircraft guns in position! Fire!!!" Soon, several Fourth-Trial human players transformed into giant white pigs erected Magic Core-powered anti-aircraft guns and fired, destroying the helicopters piloted by the Deep Sea King!
"The Deep Sea King's bombers are coming, quickly take cover in the trenches!!!" At this time, a giant white pig player shouted.
So, on the battlefield, several thousand giant white pigs quickly dove into various holes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the next moment, bombs rained down from the sky, turning the entire battlefield into a devastated scene.
"Ah ah ah, let's slaughter these bastards... these giant white pigs!"
"Charge, eliminate these scoundrels!"
"Wait, weren't we fighting against humans before? Why have all the humans turned into pigs?"
...
Although a few of the Deep Sea Kings expressed doubts, most of them were wearing Magic Blood Spirit Armor, wielding Magic Blood Spirit AKs, and following behind the Magic Blood Spirit tanks. They charged forward with a fierce and crazed look in their eyes, devoid of reason.
"Chums, the Deep Sea Kings are charging again! Hey, this is the Magic East China Sea, prepare to launch the missiles!" Mo East China Sea issued an order.
In the players' rear, a dozen or so enormous missiles flew out in unison, all striking the Deep Sea Kings' positions!
"The human scoundrels' missiles are here, quickly take cover in the trenches!" A Deep Sea King dressed in golden armor shouted, and then a group of Deep Sea Kings quickly dove into the trenches.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Instantly, both sides' positions were covered in artillery fire, preventing either side from raising their heads or venturing out!
But...
How could the battle end here?
"Brothers, cook the Deep Sea Kings on the spot! Hahaha, killing the sea king and still treating the heart is the way to go!" With a shout from a Fourth-Trial player, a group of giant white pigs brought out a huge hotpot and began to cook a Deep Sea King who was still barely breathing.
They deliberately placed the dying Deep Sea King in the most conspicuous spot in the pot, clearly aiming to infuriate the Deep Sea Kings on the other side.
"Ay Caramba! these scoundrels, they're making hotpot out of us! Throw them in, pigs!" On the other side, the Deep Sea Kings were incensed. They too brought over a large hotpot.
At the same time, a giant white pig was tied up, ready to be thrown into the pot.
"Id: Card face getting hit!"
"Ah ah ah, brothers, save me!" Card Face Getting Hit screamed in agony and was thrown into the pot.
"Damn Deep Sea Kings!" on the players' side, they heartily enjoyed their Deep Sea King hotpot.
"Damn white pig people!" on the Deep Sea King's side, they too heartily enjoyed their Card Face Getting Hit hotpot!
Both sides ate heartily while glaring at each other across the battlefield, their hatred exploding!
"What...?" He Yiming withdrew his spiritual awareness, and his mind was full of question marks.
