Chapter 451: Changing the Tide of Battle

After Commander Yan took the Pill, he walked toward the crowd.

Linglong turned and returned to the Pavilion.

One hour later.

Linglong sent out another batch of Pills; this time, there were a full forty of them.

Next.

Every hour, Linglong would send out a batch of Pills.

One day later.

The wounded in front of Wang Jianqiang's door had all disappeared, and Linglong had accumulated several hundred extra Healing Pills in her hands.

After handing these Pills to Commander Yan and letting him return to the city gate.

Linglong returned inside the room.

"Daoist Friend Wang, you have been busy for a whole day; would you like to take a rest?"

Linglong looked at Wang Jianqiang, and after noticing the fatigue on Wang Jianqiang's face, she felt a wave of admiration in her heart.

Although this Daoist Friend Wang was a bit stingy and dark-hearted, he was quite reliable when it came to getting things done.

"No need, I still have to fire up two more batches of Pills."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Linglong, "Those three Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators from Outside the Realm could return to the battlefield at any time, and only you can deal with them."

"Your injuries need to recover as quickly as possible; otherwise, even if the battle situation is temporarily stabilized, once those three return, it will surely turn into a rout quickly."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong nodded solemnly, "Then I will have to trouble you, Daoist Friend Wang."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

He flicked his finger.

A blue flame ignited inside the Pill Furnace.

He began refining Yellow Jade Origin Pills and Five-Element Pulse Restoration Pills for Linglong.

One hour later.

Wang Jianqiang came before Linglong holding two Jade Bottles.

He handed the two Jade Bottles to her, "These two Jade Bottles contain ten Yellow Jade Origin Pills and ten Five-Element Pulse Restoration Pills respectively; take them first, and I will refine more for you after you finish them."

"Now, while I am here, take one of each first, and I will help you gather the medicinal power."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong's heart stirred.

She thought of the scene from the last time she refined the Pills.

But she did not know if it was because of the experience of helping Wang Jianqiang recover his vitality earlier.

After thinking that the scene was about to play out again.

She felt as if she had grown accustomed to it in her heart.

There was no sign of the slightest discomfort.

……

With Wang Jianqiang's help.

Linglong refined two Yellow Jade Origin Pills and two Five-Element Pulse Restoration Pills in succession.

The injuries on her body were significantly alleviated.

She reached a level where she could independently refine the Yellow Jade Origin Pills and Five-Element Pulse Restoration Pills.

"Many thanks for your help, Daoist Friend Wang; from here on, I can do it myself."

Linglong looked down at Wang Jianqiang's palm.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and withdrew his palm.

But whether intentional or unintentional, his fingers suddenly tightened as he withdrew his palm.

Linglong's face flushed red, and she glared at Wang Jianqiang.

However, she did not say anything more.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Next, I will go into seclusion to recover with all my might."

"The great battle outside the city is still ongoing, and the required Healing Pills are far from enough; after I go into seclusion, I must trouble you, Daoist Friend Wang, to continue refining some Pills for the defending soldiers as a reserve."

As she spoke, she flipped her hand to take out a Spirit Token and handed it to Wang Jianqiang, "Take this token; this is the City Lord Token of Wenxian City; seeing the token is like seeing the City Lord."

"While I am in seclusion, you can use this token for any contingencies."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and put the City Lord Token away, "Rest assured, City Lord; since I have already promised you, I will naturally assist with all my might."

"Thank you."

Linglong nodded and walked into a room.

After Linglong went into seclusion.

Wang Jianqiang rested briefly, then began to continue Alchemy.

The next day, at noon.

Wang Jianqiang gestured with his palm and collected the Pills just refined in the furnace.

His expression stirred.

He stood up and walked toward the door.

At this moment.

Outside the Pavilion, a figure was waiting silently.

It was none other than Commander Yan, who had just left yesterday.

Creak~

A sound of the door opening came, and he immediately looked over.

When he saw that the person who walked out of the room was not the City Lord, but a strange young man.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Are you here to collect the Pill?"

Seeing the other party's somewhat dazed expression, Wang Jianqiang spoke first.

Commander Yan immediately came back to his senses and hesitated, "Are you... Master Wang?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded indifferently.

"Where is the City Lord?" Commander Yan's gaze flickered.

"She has already gone into seclusion to heal her injuries," Wang Jianqiang replied indifferently.

With a wave of his palm, a dozen Jade Bottles slowly floated in front of Commander Yan, "These are the Healing Pill, take them."

Commander Yan's eyes lit up.

However, he did not collect them immediately, but instead cupped his hands in a salute to Wang Jianqiang, "Thank you for your trouble, Master Wang."

Wang Jianqiang nodded indifferently, closed the door, and returned to the room.

Commander Yan did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction because of Wang Jianqiang's cold attitude.

On the contrary, he was full of admiration for Wang Jianqiang.

This Master Wang is so young.

Judging by his Soul aura, he looks to be less than two hundred years old.

To think he already has such astonishing achievements in Alchemy!

Truly a Monster!

A moment later.

He came back to his senses.

He collected the Jade Bottles in front of him, and after checking them, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Eight hundred!

He had previously felt that this Master Wang's Alchemy speed was astonishing.

He did not expect it to be astonishing to this degree!

How much time has passed?

He actually refined another eight hundred Perfect Fourth-Order Healing Pill!

His Alchemy...

Could it be that he never fails?

After Wang Jianqiang returned to the room.

He thought for a moment.

He did not rest and continued Alchemy.

He refined for another full day before stopping.

Afterwards, he called Commander Yan over, handed all these Pill to him, and returned to the room.

These Pill should be enough to deal with this war.

Next, all that remained was to wait for Linglong to recover.

However, for Linglong to fully recover.

Relying only on the Pill previously given to her was far from enough.

At least twenty of each kind were still needed.

Thinking of this.

Wang Jianqiang took out the Pill Furnace, flicked his finger to ignite the furnace fire, and continued Alchemy.

Just as Wang Jianqiang expected.

Two days later.

The Pill on Linglong's body were refined, and her injuries had only recovered by a small fraction.

After accepting the twenty Yellow Jade Origin Pill and twenty Pulse Restoration Pill that Wang Jianqiang gifted again, she began her seclusion once more.

Outside the city.

The great battle remained intense.

The demonic beasts surged like a tide, still endless.

On the defensive line resisting the Beast Tide, people were still constantly withdrawing due to heavy injuries.

But the battle situation not only showed no signs of collapsing, but instead became increasingly stable.

Every Cultivator who returned with heavy injuries only needed to swallow a Pill and rest for an hour to fully recover.

There was no need to consume more time like before, only recovering part of their injuries before having to rush back into the battle.

Under these circumstances, casualties were greatly controlled.

Another battlefield.

The battle situation was also developing in a direction favorable to the Wenxian City side.

The overall strength of the Cultivators from Outside the Realm was stronger than the Cultivators on the Wenxian City side.

At the very beginning, it did indeed almost cause the battle situation of the Wenxian City Cultivators resisting them to collapse.

But with the arrival of the Perfect Pill refined by Wang Jianqiang.

The injured among them could quickly return to the battlefield.

Because of the Perfect Pill.

They became more confident, often adopting fearless tactics of trading injury for injury.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator side had no Perfect Pill to assist them.

After Cultivators were injured, their recovery speed was far inferior to the Cultivators of Wenxian City.

Moreover, they were not endless like the Beast Tide.

This resulted in the number of Out-of-Boundary Cultivators decreasing the more they fought, while the number of Cultivators on the Wenxian City side did not change much.

On the Wenxian City side, their numbers began to hold the advantage.

When time reached the twentieth day after the war began.

The numerical advantage had already expanded to a degree sufficient to erase the gap in overall combat strength.

The war situation for the Wenxian City side shifted from a weak position to an equal one.

And.

It continued to slowly develop toward an advantage...
