You Rou's eyes widen and her jaw dropped. She has been very busy and was so exhausted because she's the only one who knows how to refine medicine while the others were only average on it. They are also exhausted from eliminating all the demonic cultivators, while Zheng Fu Gong, Jing Rui, Xie Lan, Chen Jing and Qian Tian are still fighting Wu Ran. Fan Wen, Wu Fan, Fei Lin, Xi Ling and Ho Yue are their replacements, so they can't bother refining medicine for themselves, and instead they need to consume it. 

So, the great responsibility fell on You Rou's shoulders. "Ah – " she muttered, startled. She was about to fall but someone caught her arm, preventing her from falling. She sighed in relief. "Thank you, Lei-shixiong…" she said and turned, only to freeze when she saw the one who caught her. 

Lei Ling was also taken aback. He stared wide-eyed at the person standing between him and You Rou, looking dumbstruck. "… Cheng-shixiong!" he exclaimed both in shock and pleasant surprise after he has returned to his senses. His eyes turned red. 

You Rou's mouth fell open, but she was unable to say a word because of what she currently feels. Her eyes that had dried earlier reddened and moistened until her tears fell once again. "Cheng-shixiong…" she cried and choked back a sob. 

"En." Cheng Sheng spoke. His voice is still hoarse from being unconscious for days. He cleared his raspy voice. "I'm sorry to keep you all waiting." He said and smiled. His face still looks pallid but it was still better than these last three days. 

"CHENG-SHIXIONGGG!!!" Lei Ling and You Rou cried and hugged him tight as they wailed. 

Jing Kang stood stupefied on the side. "Cheng Sheng…" he muttered as he stared at Cheng Sheng in disbelief. 

Cheng Sheng turned to him and slightly nodded before he turned back to You Rou and Lei Ling. "Come on. Get off me now. I still feel weak…" he told them. 

The two immediately released him. "Cheng-shixiong… da shixiong…" they spoke and glanced at Fei Yin lying on the floor. 

Because of the high tension of the ongoing battle, no one bothered with delicacy and left Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng on the floor. Although the Millennium ship is afloat, but the barrier protects not only their security, but also protects them from the cold wind. 

Hearing their words, Cheng Sheng looked down and his eyes reddened when he saw Fei Yin. He felt a huge sense of loss. He knelt down beside Fei Yin, picked up his already cold body and hugged it tight as his tears silently streamed down his cheeks. He didn't have time to react on Fei Yin's death, much less mourn for it when he was attacked by Chen Han, who is under the control of Wu Ran. 

"Cheng-shixiong…" Lei Ling and You Rou called, then lowered their heads to not disturb Cheng Sheng's mourning. Lei Ling went back to Jing Kang's side to seek comfort while You Rou refined medicine on the side. 

"Hm?" she muttered when she glanced on the empty chair near her. Suddenly, she felt like something is missing… or someone? Just as this thought flashed in her mind, it suddenly disappeared, leaving her not time to react. 

Since time is tight and medicine is on great demand, she can't delay further to mourn and started refining. 

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Wu Ran who's supposed to sustain many injuries have lesser because of the thick demonic qi surrounding him acting as his shield from their attacks. The righteous cultivators don't dare to touch the demonic qi, who knows what evil it will bring if they'll touch it. To land an attack on Wu Ran, they have to dissipate it, which is really hard since it seems inexhaustible like Wu Ran's energy. Thus, this battle against only one person lasted three days, and looks like about to drag longer. 

Because of the high tension, everyone didn't dare sleep even a wink for fear that they won't ever had the chance to open their eyes again after they were killed by Wu Ran because of their inattention. Thus, everyone is on full alert, ready at any second in case Wu Ran slips out of the net of Zheng Fu Gong, Jing Rui, Xie Lan, Chen Jing and Qian Tian in case he'd pick on the weak. 

Fei Lin who got no time to mourn for Fei Yin's death, and then of Fei Huang's, has an ugly expression added by exhaustion. Even if he has the best temper, but no one dared try to chat him up right now. They also don't have time for a chat, anyway. Xi Ling is very worried about Fei Lin, but he didn't show it. 

Xie Lan, who is currently fighting Wu Ran with the other sect leaders and Zheng Fu Gong, might see him brooding over Fei Lin and would get distracted, then be killed by Wu Ran who took this opportunity to kill him so that he has one less enemy to fight with. Xi Ling naturally doesn't want this to happen so he suppressed his anxiety. 

"This deadlock… how do we break it?" Tang Teng asked as they watched the intense one-versus-five battle going on. 

"If this continues, it'd be us who'll be consumed first instead of Wu Ran, who seemed unbeatable." Li Nanzi frowned.

"Not to mention the fact that we're running out of medicines…" Qian Shan's expression is grim. 

All of their medicines, if they didn't consume, then they gave to those who needs it more. For instance, Zheng Fu Gong, Jing Rui, Xie Lan, Chen Jing and Qian Tian who are acting as the vanguard. They consume the medicine when they found a time to take a break and was replaced by someone to fill in their position before they returned after a moment of rest and is filled with vigor again. 

Even though the situation looks like they are the winning side after they eliminate all the demonic cultivators, and only Wu Ran is left, but it isn't really it. The longer the time, the more it shows that victory isn't guaranteed for them. Wu Ran is ten times the equivalent of the number of those demonic cultivators they eliminated. So, the battle continues, and they are the ones who were more consumed, even if they have the greater number of people. 

"Even if some of us has the basic knowledge of refining magic pills, and might produce average quality of it, but we don't dare take the risk. Only that Xinfaxian Sect female mage knows how to refine medicine." Shu Ji said. "But, even if she'd teach us, but refining isn't easily learned. And we don't have the time to learn in a crisis like this." he said.

If the medicine would turn out to be a poison for them… then no, thanks. They can't afford to risk it. And, the loss would out weight the gain.

"If replenishing our medicine reserves is out of the question, then, is there any way to break the dead lock?" Qian Su anxiously asked. 

"We don't have any other fighter that can bear an attack from Wu Ran." Tang Teng said. A shame to say it, but even if they are sect leaders, but they are even weaker than Fan Wen and Wu Fan. It's not the matter of age and diligence, but of talent. 

But, even Wu Fan and Fan Wen are just replacements for the five people – Zheng Fu Gong, Jing Rui, Xie Lan, Chen Jing and Qian Tian. This just shows how strong these people are, along with Fei Lin, Xi Ling and Ho Yue. 

"Then… is there no other way?" Qian Su asked and bit her lip as she anxiously looked at the battle. 

Qian Tian was replaced by Wu Fan. Qian Tian was pulled back by Fan Wen and Ho Yue to the safe area. Fan Wen took out the bottle of his magic pills and fed it to Qian Tian. 

"It's the last ones." Ho Yue spoke. 

Fan Wen's face fell but he didn't say anything. Fei Lin and Xi Ling who are closely watching the fight can hear them so he and Ho Yue didn't speak again. 

"I'll be fine." Qian Tian caught his breath and the color of his face returned after he consumed the medicine. But, he was still heavily breathing. 

"Another injury." Ho Yue, the observant, spoke when he saw the blood on Qian Tian's side. 

Qian Tian was about to speak when they suddenly heard running footsteps. They turned and saw it was Qian Lin, followed by Jing Hei. 

"Medicine!" Qian Lin hurriedly spoke and took out the bottles of potions and magic pills from a qiankun pouch. 

Fan Wen felt the qiankun pouch looked familiar. 

"We were surprised when the qiankun pouches fell from the sky. If we weren't carefully watching out surroundings, we would've missed them." Jing Hei explained. 

So, that's to say, You Rou made another batch of medicines? But, didn't she finish a batch an hour ago?
