Cloud Summit Villa suddenly became lively.
This was not because the ogre convoy had brought many items, as those had long lost their excitement for the current Cloud Summit.
What thrilled them was that the boss was going to rescue the earth yellow pill.
Many people still vividly remembered the scene when Big Yellow sacrificed himself to protect Cloud Summit.
The earth yellow pill was like a symbol of the villa; when it underwent metalization, many who had already dulled their emotions felt sadness anew.
Even though the earth yellow pill was strictly protected by Ye Zhongming in a building, it was still out of sight from the outside, yet many would still steal a glance as they passed by, as if that could help the earth yellow pill recover sooner.
People at Cloud Summit had heard that the boss had a method to heal the earth yellow pill, but due to the unavailability of certain materials, progress had stalled.
Later, before the Secret Realm War, after the Brightwater Feast, it was said that some items were acquired, and attempts were made to save it, but unfortunately, they had failed.
Now, a large box had been brought to Cloud Summit, and some core members could not withstand their subordinates' pleas, revealing a bit of information regarding its connection to the earth yellow pill.
As a result, news spread, and almost everyone at Cloud Summit who was qualified to enter the villa and had nothing to do came rushing.
With the continuous development of Cloud Summit, especially in the core area where Ye Zhongming was located, aside from the guards, only captain-level personnel and the researchers from the laboratory could enter.
However, there were already quite a few people, and by the time Ye Zhongming arrived, the area where the earth yellow pill was located was surrounded tightly.
Ye Zhongming understood their thoughts but could not say much.
He was actually quite anxious.
Because he had already failed once.
Previously, he had obtained the Soul Protection Frost in the Brightwater Realm, which was a good item that could eliminate negative states. Ye Zhongming had thought he could succeed, but after using it, the metalization state of the earth yellow pill only lightened a bit, not fully recovering.
Logically speaking, Ye Zhongming should feel happy since the metalization had lessened.
But he knew that this did not necessarily mean it was a good thing; after all, maintaining the previous state was simply the side effect of the revenge counterattack storm.
However, after using the Soul Protection Frost, the properties might have changed, and Ye Zhongming had no confidence whether it could keep the earth yellow pill safe in this state.
So he was a bit anxious.
The Ghost Eye Prism Flower was a condition from his cooperation with the Su Clan; this celestial race brought the news that this mutated plant could solve Big Yellow's problem, which was why Ye Zhongming had added it to his list.
Entering the room, the earth yellow pill still stood there in that position, and the metallic scent on it was not as strong as before, but it still resembled a lifeless statue.
The Ghost Eye Prism Flower had been moved into the room, and Xia Lei also came in. After quietly asking a question, she began preparing the items Ye Zhongming needed. Once ready, she held her man's hand and then led everyone outside.
Ye Zhongming adjusted his state, opened the box containing the Ghost Eye Prism Flower, drew out a dagger, and gently cut off all the leaves of this mutated plant.
During this process, the Ghost Eye Prism Flower continuously emitted energy, causing the temperature in the room to drop significantly, with ice crystals forming on the doors and windows.
Those outside not only felt it but also saw thick layers of ice forming from the gaps in the doors and windows, and while they were worried, there was also a hint of trepidation.
Would it succeed?
Inside the room, Ye Zhongming unleashed the top-tier blazing flame combat technique, struggling to withstand the extreme cold.
