Guan Feibai used his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead, not knowing whether the sweat was because he was hot or because he was nervous.
”Is he making the Cinnabar Pill?”
His voice was somewhat hoarse and also very low, as he was worried that other people might hear.
Zhexiu also didn't know what was happening in the hall, but he had taken the Cinnabar Pill before and knew what it smelled like. He nodded.
Upon receiving this confirmation, Guan Feibai took a deep breath.
In the snowy plains of the north, the Cinnabar Pill was the hottest conversation topic, so it was only expected that he knew of this legendary and divine medicine that could save the dying and regrow bones.
But he was taking in this deep breath not out of shock, but because he had confirmed the truth of that other rumor.
So it really was Chen Changsheng that had refined the Cinnabar Pill. Then was it really made with his blood?
Half a year ago, one of his martial uncles from the Mount Li Sword Hall engaged in bloody battle with the twenty-first Demon General outside the Black Mountain Army headquarters. He came away from the battle with one of his arms severed and his blood nearly spent. Even the Sacred Light technique was ineffective, but at the final and most desperate juncture, one Cinnabar Pill had brought him back.
As he thought about this, Guan Feibai truly didn't know how he should face Chen Changsheng.
……
……
The door to the rear hall was finally opened. A wave of heat surged out, causing the pear tree to shed its leaves and making it feel like midsummer.
Chen Changsheng walked out with Nanke's support, his face pale as if he had just started recovering from some terrible disease.
The Archbishop of Wenshui hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him.
Chen Changsheng handed him a small bottle.
The bottle naturally contained the incomparably precious Cinnabar Pills.
For a bit more than a year, Chen Changsheng had been providing a small bottle of Cinnabar Pills for the soldiers on the frontline every month.
There was a limit to his blood.
Time-wise, this month's Cinnabar Pills should have been made a couple of weeks ago and been completely distributed. However, he had taken heavy wounds from the Demon Lord in the mountains and lost a great deal of blood. Afterwards, he was recovering in Sloping Cliff Horse Farm, so it was simply impossible for him to make them.
He had never once said anything about it, but he was actually rather anxious, because he knew that there were many soldiers teetering on the verge of death in many places, like Blue Pass, Snowhold Pass, Cong Province, and Black Mountain, that were waiting for the Cinnabar Pill. It was those people who were truly anxious.
Thus, by the time he left Hanqiu City, he had already sent a secret message to Wenshui to have the Daoist church here prepare the appropriate ingredients. Upon his arrival today, he disregarded the fact that his injuries had not fully recovered and began to make the pills.
Now that this bottle of Cinnabar Pills had finally been finished, it would naturally be sent to the armies on the frontlines.
At the very beginning, the Orthodoxy's Hall of Illustrious Persons had been in charge of distribution, but this task was later passed to the Tang clan. He was currently in Wenshui, but he had no intention of continuing to let the Tang clan handle this matter, as everything that had happened that night in the mountains had been caused by the Tang clan, and the Tang clan clearly did not care for the kindness he was expressing through the Cinnabar Pill.
Chen Changsheng ordered, ”Send someone to deliver this overnight to Hanqiu City. Find the supervisor of Scholartree Manor. They know how to distribute the pills.”
It was very quiet. The archbishop did not reply, nor did he take the small bottle.
He had no intention of defying this divine edict, nor was he weighing pros and cons. He was simply too shocked.
There was some very important information contained in this order, and one piece of information was certain to stun the entire continent.
Wang Po had returned to Tianliang County.
Whether or not he himself had returned, Scholartree Manor had arrived, which meant that he had as well.
Everyone knew that Scholartree Manor was Wang Po.
Yet most shocking of all to this archbishop was not this news, but the small bottle itself.
