Chapter 702: 376 Abandon_2

Meng Ping chuckled self-deprecatingly, then he heard Deng Hong say next to him, "Looks like my choice was indeed correct. I should never have had any illusions about Ji Chengtian! Let’s go, no one else is likely to come today. Let’s catch up with some old friends."

Meng Ping looked at him speechlessly – it had only been a day apart, what was there to catch up on? But they really should head down; the people who had just arrived were still clueless and needed to be told the truth. Ji Chengtian’s departure had, at least, saved them a lot of trouble. Surely, those below had seen the truth now and no longer needed their persuasion.

Things turned out just as Meng Ping had guessed. After both sides met and exchanged news, as soon as Hope Battle Group was mentioned, those people were intrigued. After all, Ji Chengtian was unreliable and not fit to be a leader. Letting him continue would only lead the base to ruin eventually! What would they do then?

Bai Ye and his companions’ strength shocked the newcomers. Although they had sensed Bai Ye and his group’s unfathomable power, they had not dared to think they were Level 4 Superpower Users, assuming them to be Third-level Peak Superpower Users instead. But to their surprise, they had already advanced to Level 4, and all three of them were!

Previously, they all hesitated because of Ji Chengtian’s rank as a Third-level Peak Superpower User. Now, knowing that there were Level 4 Superpower Users present, they began to look down on Ji Chengtian’s Third-level Peak status. However, they had to admit, Ji Chengtian’s strength was indeed much higher than theirs.

Unfortunately, despite his power, Ji Chengtian refused to shoulder the responsibilities he should have, focused instead on maliciously suppressing his subordinates for fear of being surpassed. He also continually exploited the survivors to support his lavish lifestyle.

They couldn’t claim to be saints themselves, but Ji Chengtian’s actions were truly over the line.

Because they were abandoned by Ji Chengtian and learned that Hope Battle Group had three Level 4 Superpower Users, these people only hesitated briefly before deciding to collaborate with Hope Battle Group. Before Ji Chengtian could send someone to strike, Bai Zhengli deliberately met with these people, held a small meeting, and discussed issues related to base construction.

There were many problems with the current Chengtian Base. Once Hope Battle Group took down Ji Chengtian and they took control of Chengtian Base together, major reforms were definitely needed. To avoid being overwhelmed later, Bai Zhengli took this time to discuss with the people of Chengtian Base.

Fang Yuxin wasn’t present at the meeting as she was refining elixirs in Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. That said, she wasn’t entirely inactive. She carefully recalled her past life experiences, wrote down some issues or suggestions she thought of on paper, and handed them to Fang Jintang. As the deputy squad leader, Fang Jintang naturally attended the meeting.

Fang Yuxin’s decision to refine elixirs wasn’t a sudden whim; she had discovered that many superpower users had accumulated a massive amount of toxins and impurities in their bodies due to absorbing Zombie Crystal Cores, which resulted in slow progression. If these toxins and impurities weren’t removed, not only would advancement be extremely difficult, but they would also be easily influenced by the Heart Demon.

Bai Zhengli had specifically inquired about Ji Chengtian from Meng Ping, and Fang Yuxin had heard some as well. After hearing everything, she felt that Ji Chengtian’s personality changes were not only due to power breeding desire but also because of the Heart Demon! The Heart Demon magnifies a person’s negative emotions, whether fear or desire. Hence, as the apocalypse progressed and superpower users’ strengths increased, their emotions became increasingly unstable. Despite zombies and fierce mutated creatures being the enemies of the survivors, there were also many fights over interests among survivors.

Fang Yuxin wasn’t a saint set out to save the world, but since she had the ability, she naturally wanted to look after her own people. Thus, she planned to try and refine the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill. Fortunately, she had harvested quite a lot of Spiritual Medicine recently, enough to gather the ingredients for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

She first reviewed the method of refining the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, memorized the whole process, and then mentally simulated it with her eyes closed. Feeling confident, she then lit the Fire-gathering Array and began practicing control over the flames. Luckily, she had previously used a simplified version of the "Starfire" spell, so she was already quite proficient in simple flame control. After a few trials, she started the alchemy process.

The alchemy process was divided into three steps: first was to extract the essence-laden medicinal fluid from various Spiritual Medecines, which was the essence of the Spiritual Medicine. Extracting this medicinal fluid was a delicate task that required proficient flame control; otherwise, either the precious Spiritual Medicine would turn to charcoal, or the medicinal fluid would contain too many impurities, affecting the quality of the pill.

Since this was Fang Yuxin’s first attempt, she didn’t have many Spiritual Medicines on hand, so she handled them very carefully to avoid waste. After the extraction of medicinal fluid was completed, the fluids needed to be merged. Different medicinal fluids might have different properties, so merging them had to follow a specific sequence and also required corresponding elixir formulas.

Fang Yuyang had made all the necessary preparations beforehand, having memorized the entire refining process. Thus, she wasn’t panicked at all as she followed the sequence required by the elixir recipe, carefully blending the medicinal fluids while continuously executing the corresponding elixir formulas with her hands.

As time ticked by, when the merging was complete, the originally color-mixed medicinal fluid suddenly transformed, turning into a cinnabar-red liquid.

Fang Yuxin’s face was dripping with sweat, but she dared not be distracted to wipe it away because, with the merging complete, she had to proceed to the final process—Solidifying the Pill.
