As for when the anger of the crowd subsided, they would then divide the spearhead and point it at Ren Zhongyuan and the other man, so that they would not dare to act rashly. In the blink of an eye, the scene of the crowd attacking them had disappeared.
Ren Zhongyuan was extremely unwilling to give up, but he couldn't continue urging everyone to target Lin Yi. If he really angered Liu Ziyu, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"Vice Dean Liu, I can't do anything about what you're saying. However, if I can help everyone detoxify the poison, you won't be able to protect this kid anymore, right? We must investigate the matter of the poisoning!" Ren Zhongyuan immediately bargained.
"You can cure the poison?" Liu Ziyu glanced at him.
"That's right, don't forget that I'm a fifth grade Alchemist. Since it's confirmed that it's the poison of the heart-piercing sea anemone, I have a way to refine an antidote. As long as everyone takes it, they will naturally be safe and sound!" Ren Zhongyuan said proudly.
The crowd was once again invigorated by Ren Zhongyuan's words as they looked at him with burning eyes. As long as he could refine the antidote, it would be equivalent to saving their lives.
"Then how many can you make?" Liu Ziyu said with a frown.
"This antidote is a little complicated, but the ship has all kinds of materials. I can make one in two hours!" Ren Zhongyuan still had a smug look on his face. The toxicity of the heart-piercing sea anemone was not low, and the corresponding antidote was a grade five elixir. It was already amazing that he could refine it in two hours.
"One pill every two hours? How long can so many people last?" Liu Ziyu frowned immediately. There were nearly 100 East Province disciples present. Wouldn't Ren Zhongyuan have to wait for 200 hours? This would only happen if he didn't sleep or rest!
Now, only four hours had passed, and there were already three people who could not hold on any longer. Not to mention 200 hours, by the looks of it, it would not even take 10 hours before everyone would be almost all dead!
"Gah? This ..."Ren Zhongyuan was stunned. He was so focused on framing Lin Yi and thought that he could step out to detoxify the poison after Lin Yi was dead. However, he had neglected the most important point. How was he going to detoxify so many people?
Everyone's face suddenly turned into a dead man's face. They had finally grasped the last straw to save their lives, but in the end, they found that it was really just a straw and couldn't save their lives at all. If this continued, wouldn't they only be able to wait for death?
Looking at Ren Zhongyuan's dumbfounded expression, Liu Ziyu, who was still holding on to a little hope, was completely speechless. They had already left the West Island for more than a day, and it was too late to return now. This was really a big problem.
With Liu Ziyu's strength, she was confident that she could suppress the poison, but the others couldn 't. The more time passed, the more disciples of the East Province would be affected by the poison, and by then, they would inevitably die in groups.
With so many of them dying at once, Liu Ziyu would be too embarrassed to answer to the East Province Academy when she returned. With such a big stain on her name, she would basically never be entrusted with any important tasks in the future.
The crowd sighed one after another. The originally dull atmosphere was soon filled with a sense of despair. Liu Ziyu's expression also became serious. Once a person was forced into a corner, they would do anything. Once someone took a risk out of desperation, today's matter would never be resolved.
Lin Yi smiled faintly all of a sudden."Why don't you let me try?"
"What?" Everyone was stunned. Ren Zhongyuan looked at Lin Yi as if he was an idiot and laughed in disdain,""Try? Do you even know what you're saying? My detox pill is a fifth ranked pill, what are you going to use to test it? don't tell me you're also a fifth ranked Alchemist?"
"A fifth ranked Alchemist? Then I'm really not. " Lin Yi shook his head, but before Ren Zhongyuan could laugh, Lin Yi added,""However, if it's only a fifth ranked pill, I can make a hundred of them in two hours. It shouldn't be difficult to detoxify everyone."
The crowd went into an uproar as they looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. He made a hundred fifth-grade pills in two hours? who was this guy?
"Gah?" Ren Zhongyuan pointed at Lin Yi's nose and shouted,""Impossible! You're f * cking bullshitting! Refining 100 fifth-grade pills in two hours, even a seventh-grade Alchemist like my father can't do it. Do you think you're an immortal? You must be daydreaming!"
"Hehe, it's useless to say anything more. In any case, everyone has no choice. There's no harm in giving it a try. Who knows, I might really succeed?" Lin Yi said with a smile, not thinking much of it.
The others didn't think much of it, but Liu Ziyu's eyes lit up. Only she, Huo yudie, and ning Xuefei knew about Lin Yi's background. This guy could make eight Thunder mystical pills in a day. One hundred fifth-grade pills in two hours might sound like an exaggeration, but it wasn't impossible for Lin Yi.
Even if they couldn't do it, it was still better than Ren Zhongyuan who could only make one pill in two hours. Only with Lin Yi's help could the East Province disciples have a chance of survival. Otherwise, they could only wait for death.
"Since that's the case, then the two of you will refine pills on your own. Refine as many as you can. Everyone's lives are in the hands of the two of you, so you must do your best." Liu Ziyu immediately decided.
Lin Yi didn't have any objections, but Ren Zhongyuan looked at him coldly. He couldn't kill Lin Yi today because of Liu Ziyu's protection, but since things had developed to this point, it wasn't like he couldn't make use of him.
Ren Zhongyuan ordered someone to bring a pen and paper and he listed out the ingredients on the paper. He said to Lin Yi coldly,""I don't care what you're up to, but since things have come to this, I won't say anything else. This is the antidote recipe."
Lin Yi reached out to take it. Although there was a general template for all antidotes, there was no such thing as an all-purpose antidote in this world. If he wanted to really cure the poison, he had to find the right medicine. Lin Yi had never even heard of the heart-piercing sea anemone before, so he could only rely on the recipe that Ren Zhongyuan provided.
However, Ren Zhongyuan suddenly kept the pill formula and scoffed,""This is a Tier 5 pill recipe, something you can't even buy in the market. You want to take it away so casually, don't you know how to conduct yourself?"
Liu Ziyu was about to say something but was stopped by Lin Yi's gaze. He looked at Ren Zhongyuan and said,""Then what do you want? Don't tell me you want me to buy it with my spiritual Jade?"
"Hmph, do you think I'd care about that little bit of spiritual Jade of yours?" Ren Zhongyuan pursed his lips in disdain and suggested with an ulterior motive,""How about this, I can give you the recipe, but you have to agree to one condition." (To be continued.)
