Realm of the Night God

Chapter 597: 2-Handed Preparation

The young woman was invited by Boss Huo, not because she was the daughter of the Middle-Aged Woman, but because she indeed had real abilities.

Moreover, if she didn't have some genuine skills, the Middle-Aged Woman wouldn't have let her precious daughter take this risk.

The Middle-Aged Woman agreed to let her daughter participate in this operation, mainly to temper her daughter and let her gain some practical experience, which would be beneficial to her in every way.

"Heh heh, they're really like trying to cover their ears while stealing a bell, but this way is good too. With the restriction barrier in place, they won't be able to tear through space and leave, and we can catch them off guard like a turtle in a jar." Another exorcist laughed.

This exorcist was also an old man, but younger than the previous one who spoke.

"Heh heh, my old friend, you can't say that. What if the other side has the ability to tear through space under the barrier? Or, what if this restriction barrier has some special properties that won't affect tearing through space? The barriers set up by personal power are all unique, and the ones set up by formation flags are even more so. I think we should consider these factors, lest we end up with nothing tonight."

The first exorcist to speak opened his mouth again, and from his attitude, it was clear that he was familiar with the other exorcist. His words implied that he was worried that the spirit masters in the Hongyu Cement Factory would take the opportunity to escape.

"Old man, you're thinking too much. You yourself said it was just a possibility, but in this world, there aren't that many possibilities. Anyway, I don't think these spirit masters will escape. Don't ask me why I'm so sure, I'm relying on my intuition."

"Heh heh, intuition is something that women are good at, are you a woman?"

"You old rascal, are you cursing me again?"The two exorcists, although advanced in age, were bickering like children.

The Middle-Aged Woman and the young woman seemed to have known the characters of these two old men, so they didn't find it strange, only slightly furrowing their brows without saying a word.

The demon hunter, a middle-aged fat man, had a look of great interest, watching the two old men bicker.

The old lady didn't speak, standing respectfully behind Boss Huo, her face deep in thought, her mind unknown.

Boss Huo had a smile on his face, listening to the two men's bickering, but his gaze was fixed on the Hongyu Cement Factory, which was already surrounded by the restriction barrier.

As for Yang Haoran, he didn't have the same optimism as the others. Amidst the bickering of the two old men, he had a surge of black energy in his hand, and suddenly, a small, exquisite porcelain bottle appeared above his palm.

The porcelain bottle was milky white, with some patterns on it. Except for its small and exquisite size, the bottle didn't have any special features, nor did it emit any power fluctuations.

Yang Haoran suddenly took out this porcelain bottle from his independent space, and only Boss Huo noticed, while the others didn't.

Regarding Boss Huo's gaze, Yang Haoran was not only unbothered but also, under Boss Huo's gaze, he stretched out his finger to lightly tap the porcelain bottle, and a brown medicine pellet the size of a thumb flew out, suspended in mid-air in front of him.

As the medicine pellet was taken out, a rich medicinal fragrance spread, and everyone present smelled it.

For a moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Yang Haoran, finally locking onto the brown medicine pellet suspended in front of him, even the two exorcists who were bickering stopped talking.

After seeing the brown medicine pellet taken out by Yang Haoran, their faces all showed surprise, as if they had seen something incredible.

Yang Haoran naturally sensed the gazes of these people, but he pretended not to know. Under the gazes of several people, he lightly flicked his wrist, and the porcelain bottle on his palm disappeared, being put back into his independent space. Then, he quickly formed a seal with his hands, and his mouth let out a low shout!

"Seal!"

A mass of Yin Qi enveloped the medicine pellet suspended in front of him, and a "seal" character flashed in the Yin Qi, but the Yin Qi enveloping the medicine pellet didn't disappear, only retracting somewhat.

The medicine pellet no longer emitted a medicinal fragrance, and Yang Haoran opened his mouth to take a deep breath, swallowing the pellet into his stomach.

This scene made Boss Huo's smile on his face slightly stiffen, and the others present also had different expressions.

Everyone present noticed that Yang Haoran had just swallowed a dan pill, a product that only Alchemists could refine. The value of dan pills varied depending on their effects, but to most people, anything produced by an Alchemist, whether it was a dan pill, elixir, or medicinal powder, was considered valuable.

Moreover, these products from Alchemists were not easily obtainable, and even if you had something of equal value, it wasn't guaranteed that you could exchange it for one. Therefore, when Yang Haoran swallowed a dan pill at this critical moment, everyone else present was shocked.

"Yang Divine Envoy, what kind of dan pill did you just take?" The oldest exorcist couldn't resist asking, smiling as he spoke to Yang Haoran.

"A dan pill that can temporarily boost my strength," Yang Haoran replied with a faint smile.

In reality, the dan pill Yang Haoran took was not a strength-boosting one, but rather a rapid wound-healing pill. He said it was a strength-boosting pill solely to deceive Boss Huo.

The reason he did so was simple: after entering the Hongyu Cement Factory later, he would inevitably need to open his heaven soul. If he encountered danger, he might have to use his full strength, and at that time, Boss Huo would definitely notice his abnormal strength increase. If he didn't come up with an excuse, it would lead to more trouble later, which could even put his life at risk.

Using the dan pill as a cover-up seemed like a good idea to him, as it was hard to detect.

Of course, Yang Haoran's purpose in taking the dan pill was not just to conceal his strength; he also had his safety in mind.

This dan pill, refined by Feng Xiao, had an excellent effect on physical body wound healing. Taking it in advance would definitely have a significant impact at critical moments, and might even save his life.

As for why he sealed the dan pill, it was because he was unsure if tonight's action would force him to take the pill. If that happened, he would unseal it, and the pill's effect would burst forth in his body, healing his injuries.

If that didn't happen, he could retrieve the pill later, avoiding waste.

Only he knew whether he had unsealed the dan pill, so he could use it as a decoy to unleash his full strength freely.

This tactic could be described as "killing two birds with one stone."

Apart from the dan pill, he also had an escape talisman in his independent space, which he had been drawing in his quiet room all day, failing many times before finally succeeding. It was because of this that he was late to the gathering before setting out tonight.

If he hadn't succeeded in drawing the escape talisman, he might have been even later tonight.

With Feng Xiao's dan pill and his own escape talisman, he felt much more at ease about tonight's action.

When Yang Haoran mentioned that the dan pill could boost his strength, everyone present, including Boss Huo, was shocked. The two Exorcist Elders and the middle-aged demon hunter were particularly amazed.

No wonder they reacted so strongly – any dan pill that could boost strength was extremely valuable, and such a pill was indeed worth their surprise.

"Heh heh, Yang Divine Envoy is really generous, swallowing such a precious dan pill without hesitation. It seems that even with my help, Yang Divine Envoy still doesn't have much confidence in tonight's action," Boss Huo said with a smile.

"Ha ha, Huo Divine Envoy is joking. I'm not lacking confidence in tonight's action, but rather in my own strength. To avoid holding everyone back, I sealed the dan pill in my body and will unseal it when needed, to contribute as much as possible to this action," Yang Haoran explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Boss Huo's smile grew thicker.

"Heh heh, I apologize for misunderstanding Yang Divine Envoy. Yang Divine Envoy has a kind heart, and Huo is truly delighted from the bottom of his heart."

Yang Haoran didn't bother to distinguish whether Boss Huo's words were genuine or not. He smiled shamelessly in response: "This is what I should do, and Huo Divine Envoy is too polite."

As the conversation ended, the sound of breaking air filled the air, and one figure after another emerged from the night, with Night Watch finally arriving after the eight of them!
