Mei Tu, a seductive beauty skilled in Charming Skill, attempted to allure Chen Jie but met firm resistance as he ordered her to gather herbs within one and a half hours or face death. Unmoved by her pitiful pleas, Chen Jie tasked her specifically with obtaining Thousand Poison Grass, a vital ingredient for refining the terrifying Thousand Poison Brain God Pill. He revealed the pill's gruesome effects—brain worms devouring the mind—to control the Four Great Elders, shocking Mei Tu.

Mei Tu gulped nervously before speaking, "This, this is such a huge task. What if I fail to locate the Thousand Poison Grass?"

A smile lingered on Chen Jie's face, yet his eyes bore coldly into Mei Tu as he declared, "You'd better manage to find the Thousand Poison Grass. If you don't? Should I fail to control you four, I'll simply have to eliminate you. I won't allow a threat to linger right in my sight, agree?"

Gulp...

Mei Tu swallowed hard, her nerves on edge.

Chen Jie gazed at her and asked, "So, you can find it, right?"

"I can, definitely!"

Mei Tu affirmed with determination.

Chen Jie replied, "Then go ahead and proceed."

Hearing those words, Mei Tu held her tongue and dashed off straight to the relevant Secret Realm. A grin spread across Chen Jie's features—observers might puzzle over how he knew the herbs within that Secret Realm. In truth, the Qiankun Great Method documented it all: after the Ruins' initial discovery, the Zoroastrian Sect had turned it into a site for growing rare herbs, planting them there deliberately.

This explained Chen Jie's precise and thorough arrangements, thanks to a detailed map in the Qiankun Great Method that he had stumbled upon earlier while browsing its pages.

After sorting out matters with the Four Great Elders, Chen Jie shifted his focus to the group before him. They were all his longtime companions.

Liu Caidie, Han Ling’er, Du Xiong, plus several surviving Ming King Guards.

Right then, Liu Caidie eyed Chen Jie and urged, "Chen Jiusi, let's head out. Folks outside await us, and the court army might already be assaulting the mountain, plus my grandfather..."

Chen Jie heard her out and responded, "To achieve success, first prepare your tools. No need to hurry; rushing leads to mistakes."

Han Ling’er inquired, "So when do we set out?"

Chen Jie answered, "Once I've refined the Thousand Poison Brain God Pill."

"Are you intending to control the Four Elders?"

Chen Jie glanced at them and questioned, "What else? Release them to turn into our foes? Or perhaps you'd prefer I slay them outright?"

"Well..."

Han Ling’er found herself tongue-tied and silent, as Chen Jie chuckled before adding, "You're all free right now, so make yourselves useful. Assist me in gathering these herbs..."

Chen Jie swiftly dispatched Liu Caidie and the rest, then retrieved the Chang Chun Furnace to commence pill refining. Previously, he had crafted high-level elixirs, but now he tackled poison—the Thousand Poison Brain God Pill.

No light matter this. From his storage ring, Chen Jie pulled out a heap of herbs, ready to begin the alchemy process.

Key components for the Thousand Poison Brain God Pill include Brain Worm, Poison Saliva, and Thousand Poison Grass.

Auxiliary ingredients prove straightforward, and Chen Jie possessed two main ones already. The Brain Worm came from Gongsun Boqing and stood refined as a complete item.

Poison Saliva had been harvested from Lord Jin inside the Five Poison Sect's cave—essentially Lord Jin's own saliva.

The final piece, Thousand Poison Grass, awaited delivery by Mei Tu and her group shortly.

With Thousand Poison Grass secured, Chen Jie could launch the refining of the Thousand Poison Brain God Pill, enabling him to bend the Four Elders to his will and vastly boost his fighting strength.

Chen Jie kicked off by processing these toxins right away, then immersed the Brain Worm in Lord Jin's Poison Saliva. This marked the pivotal phase in crafting the Thousand Poison Brain God Pill, since the soaking Poison Saliva must feature in any future antidote. That way alone could the Brain Worm stay suppressed.

Put differently, future detoxification demanded ingestion of Chen Jie's antidote, infused with Lord Jin's Poison Saliva, for restoration. Absent this antidote, even a Melt God Realm master couldn't purge the Brain Worm's toxin—only an Earthly Immortal's aid would suffice.

Securing Lord Jin's Poison Saliva presents a tough challenge, and they would need confirmation of its true origin as well.

Chen Jie pondered briefly, then dove into alchemy. An hour and a half flew by, at which point Chen Long, Chou Niu, Monkey, and Mei Tu returned.
