An hour later.
Under Illusion Fairy’s guidance, Luo Tian quickly found all the spiritual herbs to counteract the poison afflicting the Bai family disciples.
He quickly went back to them.
After leaving them for two hours, Luo Tian was a bit worried about them.
“Big Brother Luo Tian is back!”
“Boss Luo!”
“Patriarch Luo!”
The Bai family disciples all stood up to greet him. A majority were restoring their yuan energy, but they still stood up at the sight of Luo Tian. This showed their respect for him. Luo Tian made small talk with them and had them sit back down.
Bai Lingling ran over to Luo Tian anxiously and said, “There were six others who fainted after you left. And… we couldn’t help one of them, and he died…”
Luo Tian’s expression sank while his heart lurched.
He could feel his heartache since these brothers had followed him into danger, yet he couldn’t protect them.
Bai Lingling looked at Luo Tian’s expression and knew he was blaming himself. She then said, “Don’t be too upset. We haven’t even entered the Boundless Mountains yet, so who would know a mosquito would be that poisonous? We were all too careless.”
“However, if we don’t find an antidote soon, I’m afraid all those poisoned will eventually die. One of them was even contagious, but he has been isolated now.”
While she was speaking, Bai Lingling’s body swayed, and her face turned pale. Her voice grew softer, and her body eventually lost strength before she fell over.
Luo Tian immediately grabbed her to stop her from collapsing. He noticed her lips were black, and her body seemed stiff. She had clearly been poisoned at an unknown time. She had been forcing herself to hold on because she wanted to help Luo Tian share the burden.
Just because she was Luo Tian’s woman!
The Bai family disciples all rushed over.
“Senior Sister Bai!”
“Senior Sister Bai!”
“Little Sis! How is my sister doing?!”
Bai Xiong rushed up like a bear about to explode. With his father gone, he would hate himself to death if his younger sister were to die as well. Bai Xiong didn’t say anything after, but he felt worse than anyone else. He hated himself for not being strong enough to protect his family.
If he were stronger, his father wouldn’t have had to die.
Luo Tian laid Bai Lingling on the ground and said, “She will be fine.”
After that, Luo Tian announced, “Everyone will be fine soon. I have already found the herbs for the antidote and will go concoct some pills now.”
“Lin Dong and Bai Xiong, you two take care of the poisoned disciples.”
Lin Dong and Bai Xiong both replied, “Got it!”
Luo Tian walked to a quiet place, calmed his emotions, and brought out a cauldron.
When he was on the Tianxuan Continent, his alchemy skills were close to the great perfection realm.
But in the Ancient World, he had to start from the beginning. However, his experience with refining herbs didn’t have to start from the beginning, and that was the most valuable part. 𝑅ä₦Ỗ𝐁ÊⱾ
Moreover, the alchemy he practices is the same as that practiced by the protagonist Xiao Yan in Battle Through the Heavens. In the ancient world, its buff effects were still there. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a support skill rewarded by the system.
System rewards given to Luo Tian were different from the ones in the original novels. They are and can become much stronger.
However, there was an adverse effect on the martial skills he learned due to the current world’s laws. Just like Super Regeneration, where it couldn’t display the same effects as it did in the Tianxuan Continent.
His eyebrows were scrunched as he activated his yuan energy to fuel the cauldron’s fire. Spiritual herbs were tossed in one after another. Luo Tian threw himself into the process, his thoughts changing the intensity of the fire. His hands were incredibly fast, and each time, he tossed in the correct herb at the right time. Each antidote pill was related to a person’s life, so Luo Tian dared not be careless.
A few minutes later.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on successfully concocting an Antidote Pill!”
“Proficiency +1.”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on successfully concocting an Antidote Pill!”
“Proficiency +1.”
System alerts would sound off here and there.
The success rate was surprisingly high, with eight successes after ten attempts. However, these antidote pills were all tier one. But it was still sufficient to counter the bites of these poisonous insects. After each antidote pill was refined, Luo Tian would immediately send someone to deliver it to a poisoned disciple.
He would remind them to deliver it to the disciple who needed it the most.
After taking the antidote pills, the faces of those poisoned brothers would turn rosy before they woke up.
Half an hour later, those poisoned brothers recovered and were able to get on their feet.
Bai Lingling also woke up, but Luo Tian didn’t stop and kept concocting more antidote pills.
He was going to refine more since he had such good success rates, raising the level of his alchemy skill.
The Ancient Tree inside him needed a lot of yuan energy. When he was inside a city, there were no demonic beasts for him to kill, and he couldn’t sit down and absorb yuan energy from heaven and earth. The only method to restore his yuan energy was to take pills.
Luo Tian had already come up with a solution when the Ancient Tree had taken root in his mind.
He had to quickly raise the level of his alchemy skill.
Another half an hour went by.
Luo Tian used up all the herbs he could use to concoct antidote pills. He then stood up with a pale face. Whether it was concocting pills, engraving arrays, or using Super Regeneration, they all needed to use up his mental energy. Luo Tian looked exhausted after concocting pills for nearly an hour.
Bai Lingling went over to support him. She had always wanted to ask Luo Tian about it but didn’t want to interrupt him while he was refining and concocting pills. “When did you learn alchemy? And the antidote pills that you have concocted seem to be much better than the ones sold in the markets. The results are very obvious.”
Luo Tian scraped her nose with a smile and replied, “Do you know who I am? I’m your husband! What kind of skills do I not know?”
Internally, Luo Tian said to himself, “This is Xiao Yan’s awesome alchemy skills I’m using! If the pills I concoct are the same as those on the streets, then I should go die or something!”
Bai Xiong said in admiration, “Boss is mighty! Boss is domineering! If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid none of us will be continuing forward. Hahaha…”
Lin Dong didn’t say anything, but his eyes were a mixture of shock and determination.
Ever since Luo Tian returned from the jungle, he could sense that Luo Tian was suddenly exuding the aura of a Martial Void ranker. He thought it was really strange but didn’t ask him about it. All because Luo Tian was his boss.
How could he be the boss if he wasn’t stronger than the rest?
Many Bai family disciples expressed their admiration and followed Bai Xiong in saying, “Boss is mighty! Boss is domineering! Hahaha…”
They all started laughing in unison.
Seeing so many brothers laughing together, Luo Tian broke out into a grin.
The first step into the Boundless Mountains was finally taken.
It was very difficult, but they still did it.
Bai Xiong asked, “Boss, what should we do now?”
Luo Tian stared at the majestic Boundless Mountain and replied, “Enter the mountain. We shall conquer the Boundless Mountains with our martial ability!”
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s conquer it!”
Luo Tian then led the Bai family disciples toward the Boundless Mountain Range.

An elder who was reviewing the case suddenly stood up, holding a scroll in his hands. His hands trembled uncontrollably as he spoke excitedly, “This is extraordinary! Extraordinary! This child is extraordinary!”
