Outside the manor, within the forest, Su Lingxiu was digging a hole to bury Kou Ruozhi.

“Kou Ruozhi, you’ve really crossed the line. When 1 agreed to be the Heavenly Mother, we made a deal. You would provide the resources I needed and I would use my medical skills to treat the poor. You promised me.

“You spread this information to win over the people. You even dared to use me for such manipulation. How audacious of you.”

At this point, Kou Ruozhi was completely panicked. Seeing the hole getting deeper, he hurriedly defended himself. “Heavenly Mother, it was a necessity. In order to assist our cause, I had to lie. I did not really mean to use you.”

“And moreover, Heavenly Mother, you are so powerful, how could I possibly exploit you?”

Su Lingxiu laughed coldly, “Do you think I would believe that? Ever since I first met you, 1 knew you were a crafty one. If it weren’t for the desire to get more treasures and to stay well-informed regarding the Heavenly Mother Sect, why should 1 agree to be the Heavenly Mother?”

When she initially agreed to be the Heavenly Mother, apart from securing her footing, it was also related to the sect’s extensive network that allowed her to get a grasp on the information about Qi Country and Wu Country.

The Heavenly Mother Sect provided her with all kinds of medicinal herbs which fulfilled her needs, and she used her medical skills to treat the poor, allowing the sect to propagate their doctrines and win over the people.

As for the rebellion, Su Lingxiu wasn’t really bothered. She just wanted to seek refuge in this wasteland.

Considering the capacity of the Heavenly Mother Sect, neither Qi nor Wu countries were facing any significant turbulences, making it impossible to achieve anything or stir up any troubles.

“Heavenly Mother, Xu Yan is truly a genius. In this world apart from him, no one else deserves you. I did this for your own good!”

Kou Ruozhi was becoming increasingly panicked.

Su Lingxiu let out a cold laugh, “Who gave you the right to meddle in my affairs?”

The hole had been dug.

“Shi’er, throw him in!”

Without a word, Shi’er picked up Kou Ruozhi and tossed him into the hole.

Kou Ruozhi glared at Shi’er. That damned bastard not only didn’t plead for him, but also acted ruthlessly.

Su Lingxiu began to bury him at a fast pace.

Kou Ruozhi was pale with fright.

She was actually going to bury him alive!

“Heavenly Mother, spare my life! I won’t dare do it again! I was only deceiving Xu Yan not you, you have to believe me…”

Su Lingxiu filled up the hole quickly, her skillful movements made Shi’er shudder. How many people had she buried to display such proficiency?

He recalled the rumors about Su Lingxiu admonishing evil people to cease their evildoing, at least several dozens of them were buried by her.

“Shi’er, plead for me!”

Kou Ruozhi implored in a panic.

Seeing Su Lingxiu’s determined eyes, Shi’er closed his mouth tightly and didn’t even dare to utter a word.

If he pleaded for Kou Ruozhi and upset Su Lingxiu, he might not get any more pills in the future.

The soil was now up to Kou Ruozhi’s neck, he started to panic and racked his brain for a way to survive.

“The Divine Fire Stone! Who will mine it if 1 die? The existing Divine Fire Stone mine is nearly exhausted, and only 1 know about the new one.”

He cried out in a hurry.

Su Lingxiu paused, looking at him, “You know a new Divine Fire Stone mine?”

“Yes, yes, 1 discovered it by chance, it has a much larger deposit!”

Kou Ruozhi hurriedly nodded.

Su Lingxiu hit his head with the shovel and said, “From now on, your life is mine. You’re responsible for the Divine Fire Stone, understand?”

“Understood!”

Kou Ruozhi nodded hastily.

Su Lingxiu took out a dark red pill and gave it to Shi’er, “Feed him.”

“Alright.”

Shi’er nodded. Under Kou Ruozhi’s furious glare, he forced his mouth open, stuffed the pill in, and made Kou Ruozhi swallow it.

“This is a Heart-Melting Pill. It acts once every half a year. Without the antidote, it will gradually dissolve your heart until you die after a fortnight. The agony, well, I need not say more.”

Su Lingxiu smirked.

Kou Ruozhi’s face turned pale.

“I am a martial artist and a medical one at that. I have my ways. So, it’s better if you don’t lie to me and make sure to carry out the tasks I’ve given you or else… Humph!”

Su Lingxiu picked up her shovel and walked back towards the manor.

“Heavenly Mother, please let me out!”

Kou Ruozhi cried out desperately.

“Shi’er, remember to dig Kou Ruozhi out after 24 hours,” Su Lingxiu instructed.

After returning to the manor, an excited Su Lingxiu resumed her alchemy practice.

The supply of Divine Fire Stones was finally settled. Deciphering the problem of fuel for alchemy was the main issue, apart from the herbal ingredients.

“It’s a pity there’s no Spiritual Medicine in this wilderness,” Su Lingxiu sighed.

Pills concocted out of Spiritual Medicine had impressive effects and were potent even in the Innate Realm.

Before starting alchemy, Su Lingxiu picked up a draft book to review the conclusion of previous alchemical practices and some new ideas.

Then, she started the fire and began the alchemy.

Zhou Ying was waiting by her side, Shi’er was also excitedly waiting for the pill to be developed.

A few days later.

After Su Lingxiu finished her cultivation, she immersed herself in alchemy. Though she had not yet succeeded in creating the Qi-Blood Pill, her knowledge of alchemy was greatly refined.

The failed pills were all given to Shi’er to ingest.

No waste was allowed..
