Chapter 1326 - 1323: Arrival of the Ma Family

Could it be that the Poisonous Snake has given up?

This thought just emerged, and Ye Qiu immediately dismissed it.

This is absolutely impossible!!!

In the past two days, Ye Qiu has already heard some things from Ge Zhou about the conflicts between the Ma Family and Ge Zhou.

So, Ye Qiu also knows that the Ma Family will not let Ge Zhou off so easily. They will definitely send someone to capture Ge Zhou and take him to the Ma Family to refine that Pill of Immortality.

The Poisonous Snake has been absent for the past two days, which likely means there's only one possibility: the Poisonous Snake is secretly plotting something with the Ma Family and could appear any time to target Ge Zhou!!!

Considering this, although Ye Qiu hasn't encountered the Poisonous Snake in the past two days, his vigilance has not relaxed.

In fact, Ye Qiu is also somewhat curious about the so-called Pill of Immortality mentioned by Ge Zhou.

Because immortality has always been a long-cherished yet unreachable dream for many, in Huaxia's thousands of years of history, no one has truly achieved immortality.

Even those who have broken through to the Divine Realm have merely extended their lifespan by a few hundred years. After these centuries, they too cannot resist the ravages of time, gradually aging and eventually dying.

Therefore, in order to live longer, most Divine Realm Powerhouses choose to go into seclusion, trying every possible way to break through to gain stronger power and longer life.

If there truly is a Pill that can grant immortality, once it is known, it will definitely drive many to madness and fierce competition for it!!!

However, regarding Ye Qiu's curiosity, Ge Zhou simply shook his head, showing a self-mocking expression, and replied to Ye Qiu: "There is no such thing as immortality in this world. The so-called Pill of Immortality is merely a failed creation."

Ye Qiu originally wanted to continue questioning, but Ge Zhou merely sighed and did not respond, seemingly unwilling to continue the topic.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu could only restrain his curiosity and hesitated to pursue further.

...

On the other side, due to the apprehension about Ye Qiu's power, the Poisonous Snake has not approached again, secretly watching Ye Qiu and waiting for the arrival of the Ma Family's experts.

Finally, just now, he received the news from the Ma Family: their experts have arrived in West Mansion City, and he was instructed to greet them.

"Finally arrived, huh! Ye Qiu? Heh, let's see how you meet your end this time!!!"

The Poisonous Snake felt both excitement and thrill; once the Ma Family's experts are here, he no longer had to fear Ye Qiu's power and could have them kill Ye Qiu!!!

Thinking this, the Poisonous Snake eagerly set out to meet the Ma Family's experts.

Before long, the Poisonous Snake arrived at the agreed location, and shortly, he saw two cars slowly approaching him and stopping before him.

At a glance, the Poisonous Snake recognized it as the Ma Family's car.

Moreover, the next moment, the doors of these two cars opened, and several men disembarked one after another.

As these people stepped out of the car, the Poisonous Snake immediately sensed an overwhelming aura emanating from them, causing his body to instinctively tremble.

The Poisonous Snake is a Gang Realm expert, but before these men, he felt completely outmatched.

Clearly, the experts sent by the Ma Family to West Mansion City are all Peak of Gang Realm or even King Realm Powerhouses!!!

Realizing this, the Poisonous Snake hurriedly bent over and lowered his head, fawningly addressing these experts: "I am the Poisonous Snake. Welcome, esteemed guests!!!"

"Are you the Poisonous Snake? The one who couldn't even handle such a trivial matter and needs us to clean up your mess?"

Upon hearing this, one person who stepped off the car looked at the Poisonous Snake with an expression of disdain.

The Poisonous Snake's expression stiffened slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he held it in and continued in a sycophantic manner: "You're right. It is my weak ability that couldn't capture Ye Qiu. If I had your exceptional skills, dealing with Ye Qiu would have been effortless, eliminating the need for your personal intervention."

"However, now that revered guests are here, I can be at ease. Ye Qiu is definitely not your match!"

"Of course, someone like Ye Qiu could never be a match for us!"

Listening to the Poisonous Snake's flattering words, the Ma Family's experts displayed an air of arrogance, failing to regard Ye Qiu as anything to worry about.

"Time is of the essence; quickly tell us the whereabouts of Ge Zhou and Ye Qiu."

After a cold snort, these Ma Family's experts spoke to the Poisonous Snake, "Master Ma can no longer wait, we need to capture Ge Zhou swiftly and hand him over to Master Ma."

...

At the villa of Ge Zhou in West Mansion City, within the basement.

Various medicinal materials and tools are placed here, and in the center of this basement stands a one-meter tall Tripod Furnace.

"The materials are ready. Next, it's time to start pill refining."

Looking at the table full of medicinal materials, Ge Zhou exhaled and said solemnly to Ye Qiu by his side, "Refining pills might take a considerable amount of time, and during this process, please try not to disturb me. Otherwise, all efforts could be wasted, requiring a complete collection of materials again."

Many of these materials are very rare and precious, a significant portion of them being Ge Zhou's cherished collection. If the refining fails, gathering them again would take a very long time.

"Rest assured, I guarantee not to disturb you, and I won't let others disturb you either."

Ye Qiu knew this very well, so he nodded in understanding.

Initially, for safety reasons, Ge Zhou and his family left the villa to lay low for a few days.

However, unable to find a better place for pill refining, after preparing the materials, Ye Qiu and Ge Zhou returned to the villa.

Unfortunately, returning to Ge Zhou's villa considerably increased the risk.

No one could guarantee that during the pill refining, the Poisonous Snake or someone from the Ma Family won't suddenly show up!!!

The pill Ge Zhou was refining was integral to healing his damaged meridians, so Ye Qiu's expression was very serious.

After confirming Ge Zhou didn't need any assistance from him, Ye Qiu left the basement to stand guard at the entrance.

If anyone with ill intent were to show up unexpectedly, Ye Qiu could stop them, preventing interference with Ge Zhou's pill refining.
