Lin Lang listened to this and was speechless. He couldn't help but mutter:
"Can this really be blamed on me? I didn't do anything. This is simply too unjust."
The Saintess continued:
"The materials for the Realm-Breaking Pill are already extremely precious and difficult to collect. Now, with the failure of the elixir, the materials are ruined too. I fear it won't be possible to attempt another alchemy for a while, leaving my father's breakthrough hopelessly delayed."
Several Elders, upon hearing this, lamented endlessly on the side, murmuring about how wonderful it would have been if the elixir had succeeded, looking as heartbroken as if they had lost some rare treasure.
At this moment, the alchemist responsible for crafting the Realm-Breaking Pill came forward, looking utterly embarrassed. With a "thud," he knelt on the ground and said with a guilty face, "This is all my fault. Please, Palace Master, punish me!"
