"You're too brave..." Qin Shuyao thought for a moment, "But have you considered the consequences of defeat?"
"If we are defeated, the consequences for the Three Yin Palace will be dire, but if they don't fight, the consequences are just as dire. We will be fine. With the protection of the Snow Mountain Spirit Clan, at least our more than a thousand people can retreat safely. At worst, we'll just walk a bit further on this snow mountain road. It's less than ten li anyway."
That's right, traveling in the snow mountains is too strenuous. Nearly an hour has passed since I left, but the Xuanjia soldiers have only covered seven or eight li. I had previously estimated it would take twenty hours to get out, but now even thirty hours seems difficult. By then, we might lose the entire army in the mountains due to lack of supplies, which would be even more dangerous. Rather than that, it's better to turn back and fight. If we win, it will have a significant impact on the morale of the entire imperial army!
"Alright, we'll listen to you!" Little Yama King made up his mind. The entire army stopped advancing and prepared to turn back.
I went to the Spirit Clan again and found the leading Platinum Vajra, expressing my desire to trade. The Platinum Vajra was a little disbelieving at first, as I intended to trick them into coming down the mountain to help. I took the initiative to say, "I'll go get the medicine first and let you try it. If you think it's effective, then you can decide whether to help us!"
The Platinum Vajra agreed. Only then did I return to the Three Yin Palace, slide down the giant mouth of the statue to the seaside, find the City God Temple, and return to the mortal realm.
I don't know how long I've been away. It's daytime here, so I immediately called Lin Xi and asked her to gather steroid medications for eczema from all the major pharmacies in Shangjing. Because the wounds on those Platinum Vajras were very large, one or two tubes wouldn't be enough.
Lin Xi asked me what I was doing. I explained briefly. Lin Xi said, "Then why bother getting medicine from pharmacies? Why not just get raw materials from a pharmaceutical factory?"
"You know pharmaceutical factories too?"
"Nonsense, who don't I know? Just wait for my news!"
This is the suburbs. I quickly took the opportunity to find a shop, buy two packs of cigarettes, a bowl of instant noodles, and two sausages. I borrowed hot water to make them and replenish my energy.
Before the noodles were ready, Lin Xi replied, saying she had found a pharmaceutical factory and had gathered a ton of raw materials for me. I said it was too much, and I couldn't carry it. I asked if the factory could produce some concentrated medicine.
Lin Xi said that this ton was concentrated steroid medicine, and it only needed to be applied at five percent of the usual dosage.
It can be seen how profitable medicines are; ninety-five percent of the ointment is just filler!
I asked her to get me a hundred catties, pack it, and deliver it to the vicinity of the City God Temple as soon as possible.
After finishing the noodles and waiting for half an hour, the roar of a helicopter could be heard from the sky. I found an open space and directed the helicopter to land. This pharmaceutical factory was quite perfunctory, using the large blue plastic barrels used for bulk mineral water. Each barrel held about thirty catties, totaling three barrels. They even thoughtfully welded a suspicious backpack frame for me to carry the three barrels.
I chatted briefly with Lin Xi, asking if there had been any incidents during this time. Lin Xi said no, the Shanhai Yaozu were very quiet, all had disappeared, and she didn't know what they were up to. Then, Bai Qingcheng had found several more experts with considerable strength, all of whom had agreed to assist in the chess match ten days later.
"Ten days later? It's set?" I asked.
"Yes, but now it's no longer the Shanhai Yaozu in charge, but us, Sabia. We have become the hosts, forcing the Shanhai Yaozu to participate. If they dare not come, they will lose their influence and ultimately fail. If they do come, 201 is confident in crushing the Shanhai Yaozu's main force in one fell swoop!"
"My only concern is, how strong is the Shanhai Reincarnation?" I said. At this point, both sides' strengths are pretty much understood. This Shanhai Reincarnation is the only variable. If it turns out to be a top-tier master who cruelly slaughters our Daji and Diana, then even if Bai Qingcheng organizes more people, it will be in vain.
Lin Xi smiled slightly, "This is precisely our confidence! The Shanhai Reincarnation has been found!"
"Ah? Found? Where?" I asked in surprise.
"Oh, stop dawdling. This raw material needs to be kept cold. You should go quickly, the battery in the barrels will run out soon!"
Oh, so they weren't ordinary water barrels, but equipped with small refrigerators. But it didn't matter, it was very cold in the underworld. As long as I entered the underworld before the power ran out, it would be fine.
Seeing Lin Xi's confident expression, the Shanhai Reincarnation was clearly no longer a threat. I'll leave it to them to handle.
