The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

The beans that had been soaked in fresh blood swelled rapidly. Thick vines intertwined to block the three breaches, providing layers of cover. If the demons breached one layer, the vines immediately replaced it.

Everyone in the institute exerted their full strength to block most of the breaches.

The Giant Lightning Beast needed more time to brew a second sphere of lightning, or the capital institute would have been reduced to dust already.

Blood reddened every inch of the capital institute.

This previously holy and pure institute had now been transformed into a living hell as humans and demons fought a bloody war.

The institute director led everyone in defending the interior of the institute to the death. However, demons continued to pour through the few breaches that had not been blocked. The ancient dragon led the flying mounts and bit countless airborne demons to death, providing everyone with slight relief from aerial dangers.

They sent large groups of injured students to the school of gold cultivators. Those cowards who had tried to flee the battle now realized that no matter where they fled too, they could not escape the besieging demons. In their terror, they could only hide in the school of gold cultivators, crowding together with the young, injured heroes.

The cowards were pallid as they looked at the badly mutilated figures.

Students from the schools of pharmacy and gold cultivators busied themselves taking care of the wounded. Large batches of medicines were used, but the number of wounded only grew. Very quickly, they discovered that some mysterious “clay balls” in the hands of one of the gold cultivator students had a miraculous effect. They were more effective in healing wounds than any other medicines.

Xi Sinong laboriously walked among the wounded with his crutches. No matter where his gaze fell, the sights caused his heart to sink.

One of the cowardly youths, who had been bitten by demons while fleeing, saw the medicine in Xi Sinong’s hand. With a bleak expression, he rushed over and snatched the medicine.

“What’s the use of giving it to them? Can’t you see they’re about to die? We, who are still able to survive, are more important.” The one who had snatched the medicine reproached him.

Xi Sinong was pushed to the floor. His already weak body was now in an even sorrier state. The wounded that were lying by the side could not move, and could only glare at that person.

That person was just about to put the life-preserving elixir that he had just snatched into his robes when a figure suddenly appeared behind him. The figure kicked him to the ground and took away the still-warm elixir.

“This is not for you craven assholes.” Junze looked coldly at the wretched youth. “Why are they wounded? Isn’t it because they were protecting us? Who are you to make noise here? Without them, we would have been in the demon’s stomachs long ago! They are heroes! While you… are cowards!”

With that, Junze returned the elixir to Xi Sinong. Xi Sinong looked at him gratefully, then immediately distributed the elixir to the badly wounded youths.

The elixir was bitter, but dispersed the sourness in the hearts of the youths. In an instant, their eyes were wet.

They were heroes…

Heroes…

No matter what bitterness and difficulties they faced.

These words made it all worthwhile.

Which of them was not beloved of their families? Which of them did not wish to live on?

But if they refused to fight from fear, which of them could escape alive?

At that moment, the youths who had experienced bloody battle finally understood how noble and valiant were the soldiers who guarded the borders and fought the demons to the death.
