At that moment, the restriction light sphere in the grand hall flickered.
The woman on the left immediately prepared to rush out, but the old man lying on the bed gently shook his head. "It's Ian Hawk who's returned."
Sure enough, before long, Ian Hawk entered with a deathly pale face. As soon as he came in, he tore off the skin mask, revealing that his ghastly appearance was nothing more than a top-tier disguise artifact.
"Ian Hawk, I'm afraid my time is near. After I'm gone, you and the mistress must take Jian'er and Zixiu and leave the Aurora Immortal Continent..."
Before the old man could finish, Ian Hawk excitedly bowed to the ground, trembling as he took out a jade vial. "Patriarch, I have found an extraordinary pill master to refine a batch of Foundation Sevenfold Pills for us..."
"Ah..." The woman on the right cried out in surprise, then stepped forward and snatched the jade vial. Her hands, like Ian Hawk's, were trembling.
The old man sighed, "It's useless. The Foundation Sevenfold Pill requires seven distinct Dan Stripes, and..."
The old man's words suddenly stopped. He stared, mouth agape, in disbelief at the milky white pill lying in Violet Xun's palm.
A faint medicinal aroma wafted from the pill, and nine pale golden Dan Stripes were clearly visible. Even beneath these stripes, countless mysterious patterns could be seen, resembling the meridians of the human body.
"Husband, this really is a Foundation Sevenfold Pill, it truly is..." Violet Xun's hand trembled even more violently.
