Chapter 476 Waiting for the Rabbit

"It seems that this is the place. Let's wait a little longer and see!"

Lin Zhen's men were hiding outside the remote courtyard, staring at the door with expectation in their hearts.

They thought that as long as they were sure that Fang Yue was in this courtyard, they would be spared from punishment and rewarded if they returned to report to the Lord.

At the same time, an alchemist in the courtyard was nervously refining pills in the secret room.

This alchemist was hired by the Great Chu Royal Family to treat Fang Yue's injuries. He knew the severity of Fang Yue's injuries and the importance of this pill to Fang Yue's recovery.

The flames in the alchemy furnace were burning fiercely, and the alchemist's forehead was full of sweat.

He carefully put various precious medicinal materials into the furnace, and there were strict requirements for the order and time of each medicinal material.

Among them, there were some extremely rare medicinal materials that were collected by the Great Chu Royal Family from all over the country, and their value was inestimable.

"If we can get more blood spirit grass, the efficacy of this pill will definitely be improved." The alchemist thought to himself.

He knew that blood spirit grass had a magical effect on healing. If enough blood spirit grass was added, Fang Yue's injury might be cured quickly.

Under the careful control of the alchemist, the pill soon reached the critical moment of refining.

At this time, the color of the flame in the alchemy furnace changed strangely, from the initial orange-red to a faint blue. The jumping flames seemed to have life, dancing strangely along the furnace wall.

The alchemist's expression became more and more solemn. He knew that there was no room for any mistakes at this stage.

He focused on the situation in the alchemy furnace, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but he had no time to wipe it off.

Each kind of medicinal material gradually merged under the quenching of the flame, and the medicinal fragrance emitted became more and more intense, filling the entire secret room.

As the flames continued to lick, a slight humming sound came from the furnace, as if the pill was struggling and transforming in the process of forming.

The alchemist did not dare to slack off. He quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted ancient and obscure spells. A stream of vitality was injected from his fingertips into the alchemy furnace to guide the direction of the pill refining.

However, at this moment, a trace of unstable fluctuation suddenly appeared in the alchemy furnace.

The alchemist was shocked. This fluctuation may mean that there is a problem in the refining process. If it is not handled properly, all previous efforts will be wasted, and it may even cause the serious consequences of furnace destruction and pill disappearance.

He quickly checked the surrounding situation, and various possible reasons for the fluctuation flashed through his mind.

Was it improper fire control?

Or was there an error in the ratio of medicinal materials?

Or was there an external interference factor?

But time was tight, and he had no time to think about it. He could only rely on his years of alchemy experience to stabilize the situation.

He increased the output of vitality, trying to suppress the unstable fluctuation.

At the same time, he adjusted the intensity of the flame, making the blue flame softer.

With his efforts, the fluctuations in the alchemy furnace gradually weakened, but the danger was not completely eliminated.

Outside the remote courtyard, Lin Zhen's men were still staring at the door of the courtyard nervously.

They were waiting anxiously, but they did not dare to relax at all.

One of the men couldn't help but whispered: "Why is there no movement? We have been waiting for so long, could we have made a mistake?"

"Hmph, as long as they use the blood spirit grass, the furnace will definitely explode, and we will naturally be able to confirm it at that time!"

Another man snorted coldly, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

He firmly believed in his judgment that as long as the people in this courtyard used the blood spirit grass to make pills, the special medicinal properties of the blood spirit grass were difficult to reconcile with other medicinal materials, which would definitely cause the alchemy furnace to explode.

In the secret room, the alchemist had more sweat on his forehead, and his face became a little pale because of nervousness.

Although the fluctuations in the furnace were temporarily suppressed, he knew that the crisis had not been resolved.

That trace of instability was like a hidden bomb that could explode again at any time, turning all his efforts into nothing.

"No, there's something wrong with the blood spirit grass. Someone has tampered with it!"

The alchemist suddenly widened his eyes, and a chill surged in his heart.

He realized that if the blood spirit grass was tampered with, then the refining of this furnace of elixir would not just fail, but would likely cause a disaster.

He hurriedly stopped his movements and wanted to take out the blood spirit grass that had been put into the alchemy furnace.

However, the blood spirit grass had already merged with other medicinal materials at this time, and it was not easy to separate it.

The alchemist's expression became extremely serious, and he knew that he had to find a way to resolve this crisis as soon as possible.

He began to search for various tools and medicinal materials in the secret room, hoping to find something that could neutralize the adverse effects of the blood spirit grass.

Just as he was anxiously searching, the fluctuations in the alchemy furnace began to increase again.

The dark blue flame began to jump wildly, as if it was about to break through the constraints of the alchemy furnace.

"Not good!" the alchemist shouted.

He didn't care about much and took out a jade talisman from his arms. This was his last means of saving his life.

This jade talisman contained a powerful restraining force, which could temporarily suppress the energy explosion in the alchemy furnace.

He pasted the jade talisman on the alchemy furnace and quickly chanted a spell.

The jade talisman emitted a soft light, gradually wrapping up the alchemy furnace.

The fluctuations in the alchemy furnace were temporarily stabilized under the suppression of the jade talisman.

But the alchemist knew that this was only a stopgap measure.

He must completely solve the problems caused by the Blood Spirit Grass before the power of the Jade Talisman is exhausted.

Outside that remote courtyard, Lin Zhen's men were still waiting for any movement in the courtyard.

Little did they know that their plan had already triggered a crisis in the Royal Villa.

"Do you think there is really Fang Yue in this small courtyard? We have been waiting for so long, and there is no movement at all." A subordinate said impatiently.

"Wait and see, maybe they are making final preparations. If we give up now, we won't be able to explain to the Lord when we go back." The leader of the men said.

At this moment, a slight energy fluctuation suddenly came from the small courtyard.

Although this fluctuation was very weak, it was still noticed by Lin Zhen's men.

"There's some movement!"

They suddenly became energetic and stared at the door of the small courtyard, ready to rush in at any time.

On the other side of the courtyard, Fang Yue also felt the abnormal energy fluctuations coming from him.

He frowned, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

Fang Yue thought to himself: "This energy fluctuation is a little weird. Could it be that something related to my healing has gone wrong?"

Although he was seriously injured, he still held on and wanted to find out.

In the secret room, the alchemist tried his best to resolve the crisis caused by the blood spirit grass. However, as time passed, the power of the jade talisman gradually weakened.

Although he tried his best, the chaotic power caused by the manipulated Blood Spirit Grass was too powerful.

Suddenly, a dull roar came from the alchemy furnace, like a roar that had been suppressed for a long time.

The blue flame suddenly shot up, instantly breaking through the jade talisman's restraining power.

After the bright light, there was a burst of darkness, and the elixirs in the alchemy furnace were completely reduced to nothing. A powerful energy shock erupted from the furnace, shattering some of the instruments in the secret room.

The alchemist was hit by the force and flew backwards, hitting the wall hard and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

at the same time,

Outside the villa, Lin Zhen and others who were watching also saw the light that suddenly lit up and then dimmed in the direction of the Royal Villa. They were overjoyed, thinking that their plan was successful.

"It seems that the blood spirit grass has taken effect. The alchemy furnace exploded. Fang Yue's healing elixir must have failed to be refined. His injuries will be difficult to recover. Our mission is mostly completed." One of Lin Zhen's subordinates said excitedly.

"Well, let's leave now. Go back and report the news to the envoy!" Lin Zhen said.

Immediately, several people quickly left and disappeared into the darkness.

They sneaked all the way, not daring to slack off at all, for fear of being discovered by people from the Da Chu royal family.

Soon, they came to a secret residence, where Han Chengzhi temporarily lived.

"Sir, we are back." Lin Zhen said respectfully.

Han Chengzhi walked out of the darkness with cold eyes: "How did things go?"

Lin Zhen quickly told what happened.

After hearing this, Han Chengzhi frowned: "Very good, the alchemy furnace exploded, and Fang Yue's recovery from injuries will inevitably be hindered. This is also good news for us."

Lin Zhen asked: "Sir, what should we do next?"

"Of course I'll take this opportunity to go over and kill him!"

Han Chengzhi's words shocked Lin Zhen and others.

"Sir, but that Fang Yue is under the heavy protection of the Da Chu royal family. It was difficult for us to get close to him before, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed now." Lin Zhen said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Han Chengzhi sneered: "It was before, but now that he has no healing elixir, his injuries will only get worse, and the Chu royal family will definitely be panicked. You go and create chaos, distract the guards, and I will take care of the killings." Do."

Although Lin Zhen had doubts in his heart, he still accepted the order and said: "Yes, sir."

So, Lin Zhen and his men began to plan how to create chaos.

They decided to spread rumors in the market of Dachu Imperial City that the demon clan was about to invade in large numbers, and quietly lit some small pyrotechnic devices in many places in the city to create an atmosphere of panic.

Han Chengzhi is secretly preparing his assassination plan.

He began to study the guard layout of the other courtyard where Fang Yue was located, looking for weak links.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos in the city, he quickly headed towards the Royal Courtyard.

In the Royal Courtyard, Fang Yue realized that someone was targeting him.

He knew that he was at his most vulnerable now that his injury had not healed, and the enemy would obviously not let go of this excellent opportunity.

Fang Yue calmly analyzed the current situation. He knew that since the enemy dared to take action at this time, he must be well prepared.

He began to carefully recall the recent events, from the bombing of the alchemy furnace to the inexplicable chaos in the city. There must be a careful plan behind all this.

Fang Yue secretly thought that this series of events were closely linked, and it was obviously a conspiracy carefully planned by someone.

"Now, I think the person behind the scenes will show up soon!" Fang Yue's eyes were dark.

Immediately, he came to the secret room where the alchemist was. Seeing the injured alchemist, Fang Yue felt guilty.

"Sir, please take good care of yourself first. I don't blame you for the alchemy. Someone must have been secretly causing trouble," Fang Yue said.

The alchemist shook his head weakly: "Sir, I failed to notice that the Blood Spirit Grass was tampered with, and I really neglected my duty. The person behind the scenes knows the art of alchemy quite well, I'm afraid it's not simple."

Fang Yue frowned slightly: "Sir, don't worry, I will find out the culprit. Do you remember what's wrong with the blood spirit grass?"

The alchemist recalled: "The spiritual energy of the blood spirit grass is a little disordered, not like the normal appearance after picking. I was concentrating on refining the pill at that time and failed to check it carefully. I really regret it. But fortunately, one pill was made."

Fang Yue's eyes lit up: "One pill? Sir, are you saying that this furnace of pills is not a complete failure?"

The alchemist took out a small jade box from his arms with difficulty. After opening it, there was a pill emitting a faint light inside:

"Sir, although this pill did not achieve the expected effect, it also has a certain healing effect, but this effect may only temporarily stabilize your injuries."

Fang Yue took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm air flow spread in his body. He could feel that his injuries were indeed relieved a little.

"Sir, you take a rest first." Fang Yue said.

~~~~~~~~~~~

A moment later, Han Chengzhi arrived at the Royal Courtyard.

"Humph, Fang Yue is indeed here."

Han Chengzhi sneered as he sensed the number of guards around him.

He immediately turned into a shadow, and in an instant he had passed through the guards and headed for the depths of the courtyard.

Han Chengzhi turned into a shadow and shuttled through the courtyard. He used his demonic power to sense the surrounding aura and tried to lock Fang Yue's position.

He knew that Fang Yue must be in a corner of the courtyard, and he was probably healing or setting up defenses.

He avoided some patrolling guards and hidden sentries and sneaked towards the place with the strongest aura.

It was a quiet courtyard in the courtyard, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, with a small pavilion in the middle.

Han Chengzhi thought that someone like Fang Yue might choose to rest or heal here temporarily.

However, when he approached the small pavilion, he found that there was no one there.

He frowned, feeling a little confused, but he did not give up and continued to explore in the depths of the courtyard.

He came to a seemingly ordinary room, but felt a faint wave of vitality coming from the room.

Han Chengzhi was delighted, he felt that Fang Yue might be in this room.

When he was about to sneak into the room to check, he suddenly felt a slight wave coming from his feet.

Han Chengzhi was startled, he knew he might have been exposed.

Just when he wanted to leave this place quickly, the door of the room suddenly opened, and Fang Yue appeared at the door with a sword in his hand.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Fang Yue said coldly. (End of this chapter)
