Chapter 3679: 4.1279 You Won't Live to See That Day

Qiao Mu's eyes sharpened. Just as she was about to step forward and act, Mo Lian pulled her back to his side.

"Maternal Grandfather, you need to think carefully. We currently only have one set of these materials. If they are wasted, then they are wasted." Mo Lian said with cool eyes. "Shan Yisu's success rate for refining the Soul-Returning Pill is currently less than ten percent."

"What's the point of having her refine the pill here? It's a joke, isn't it?" Mo Lian glanced at the pale Shan Yisu.

That Blood Vermillion Fruit was something Qiaoqiao had offered up when Father Emperor was testing her earlier.

Otherwise, where would they find a Blood Vermillion Fruit?

"No god or Buddha can stop the person I want to kill," Qiao Mu said with icy eyes.

This Shan Yisu had already crossed her bottom line. If she couldn't personally eliminate her, where would she put her small face?

Someone had already brought their master to openly try and snatch her husband!

If she didn't fight back, wouldn't she be cowardly enough to be forgotten in the River of Oblivion?

This matter certainly couldn't end well.

Even Lian's maternal grandfather couldn't stop her determination to kill Shan Yisu.

Shan Yisu, however, had calmed down by now. Her face was bruised and swollen from the Little Crown Princess's beating, and her eyes were now narrowed into slits.

She turned to the Little Crown Princess with a cold smile, then turned back to face Mo Lian's maternal grandfather, "City Lord Bai. Of course, refining the Soul-Returning Pill is no problem. However, your materials do have a small issue."

The elder, Bai Sheng, slightly furrowed his brow, looking at Shan Yisu with cold eyes. "What issue?"

"Phoenix Wood, Ghost Glimmer Grass, Snow Domain Flower, and Blood Vermillion Fruit are all complete. What problem could there be?"

As the elder announced each medicinal name, gasps of awe could be heard throughout the hall.

Everyone knew what these four medicinal ingredients represented.

Phoenix Wood, Snow Domain Flower, and Ghost Glimmer Grass were all divine-level medicinal materials, infinitely close to saint-level.

As for the unheard-of Blood Vermillion Fruit, it was even a Saint Spirit Fruit.

It was incredibly astonishing; Old Master Bai had truly collected all the materials required for the Soul-Returning Pill over the years.

Everyone looked at the jade boxes in front of the old master, their gazes instantly turning fervent.

The Soul-Returning Pill was something that could reverse Yin and Yang.

Legend had it that it was a holy medicine that could truly bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones.

"Of course, there's a problem, and a big one at that." Shan Yisu took a deep breath, stepped forward, bent down, opened one of the jade boxes, and let everyone clearly see the half-section of dark, black Phoenix Wood inside.

This Phoenix Wood was entirely dark, with faint greenish spots subtly showing at the broken ends, looking like mold...

"The Phoenix Wood required for refining the Soul-Returning Pill must be the heart of a thousand-year-old Phoenix Wood."

"This is only a hundred-year-old Phoenix Wood," Shan Yisu said indifferently. "Its medicinal value is not sufficient for refining the Soul-Returning Pill."

Everyone was stunned, then looked up at Old Master Bai, whose face was as calm as water.

Clearly, the old master's mood was naturally not too good upon hearing this less-than-favorable news.

"But Old Master, don't worry. Since it's only missing the Phoenix Wood, we can definitely find it in one or two months." Shan Yisu smiled faintly, the scars on her face appearing somewhat gruesome.

"Old Master can give me some people, and I'll lead them to the Phoenix Wood Forest in Shenzhou to find the Phoenix clan's habitat. Given time, I can definitely help you find a truly useful thousand-year-old Phoenix Wood."

"You won't live to see that day."
