Swish!

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but look towards Xu Fan, knowing that if he called it a gift, it must be extremely precious.

Xu Fan stated, “Recently, I personally refined a batch of Red Underworld Pills.

This elixir is exceptionally effective in enhancing physical strength and also has notable effects on cultivation advancement.

It can be said that those in the Qi Drawing Realm who take this pill have a high likelihood of advancing to the Grandmaster Realm.”
Upon hearing this, all the team members were shocked, their faces lighting up with ecstatic joy.

There were also a few who quietly awaited Xu Fan’s next words.

After all, if such a beneficial item could be used, Xu Fan would surely have already given it to them.

Xu Fan didn’t plan to hide anything from them and openly said, “I originally intended to wait for some time, for you all to become stronger before letting you take this pill.

With your current strength, I fear it might be difficult to withstand the fierce and violent power of the Red Underworld Pill.

Although I will be overseeing, there is still some danger.”
After he spoke, the crowd was stunned.

However, soon a member of the team stepped forward—it was the team leader, Zhou Xian.

He stood tall and proud, his gaze unwavering as he declared loudly, “Boss, I, Zhou Xian, am willing to be the first to take the Red Underworld Pill.”
Seeing this, the others hesitated no longer, all made up their minds and said in unison, “Boss, I’m not afraid, I too want to take it.”
Their voices rang out clearly, shaking the leaves off the trees.

Xu Fan looked at everyone with some surprise and calmly said, “Think it over clearly before you decide.

ƝᴑνǤο.сο

I’m giving each of you a choice, and you can choose to refuse.

Because if you fail to refine the violent potency of the Red Underworld Pill, it will cause great harm to the body, at best damaging the meridians, at worst completely ruining your cultivation.”
“Boss, there’s no need to persuade us further.

Such good fortune is something others can’t even find with a lantern in hand.

If it weren’t for meeting you, Boss, how could it be our turn?

So, I don’t need to think it over, I’ve made my decision.

I believe my brothers have made the same decision,” Zhou Xian said strongly.

Zhou Xian continued, “Although we have been in intensive training these days, we also pay attention to the major events happening in Zhonghai City.

Now, the enemies you, Boss, are up against are becoming stronger and stronger, and we really want to help, but unfortunately our strength is too weak and we’ve become a burden instead.”
“Therefore, we’ve been even more diligent and hardworking in our training.

Even though our strength has improved rapidly, it’s still not enough to stand out.

At best, we can swagger around in the Secular World, but against slightly more powerful ancient martial artists, we would be utterly defeated.

We don’t want to be useless; we train so hard because we want to be of use in battle.

So, even if taking the Red Underworld Pill carries danger, we are resolute in doing so.”
“Boss, do you remember?

From the day you saved my sister, I, Zhou Xian, swore to dedicate my life to you.

If I don’t become stronger, I’ll be of no use to you, Boss, and what good is my sworn duty then?

Therefore, I am willing to be the first to take the Red Underworld Pill.

If I succeed, there could be nothing better.

And if I fail, at least I can serve as a warning to my brothers.

In any case, I want to make myself useful.”
“Old Zhou is right.”
Bull Demon sincerely agreed, saying, “If the Boss hadn’t helped me, I would already be useless, probably homeless on the streets by now, unable to even ensure my basic survival, let alone having greatly improved my strength and met a group of good brothers.

Like Old Zhou, I hope to make myself useful, to resolve the Boss’s worries and expand our territory.”
“Boss, and me too…”
Suddenly, numerous members of the security team eagerly spoke up, expressing their stance.

Xu Fan, unable to decline such earnest spirits, and not wanting to dissuade any further, nodded and said, “Since everyone is giving me, Xu Fan, so much face, then I naturally cannot let down your trust.

Now, all brothers in the Qi Drawing Realm, please adjust your condition.

In fifteen minutes, we will all take the Red Underworld Pill together, and I, Xu Fan, will act as your protector.”
“Yes!”
“Boss, can’t we take it?” asked a team member at the peak of the Physical Training Realm unwillingly.

For a moment, silence fell upon the entire area.

Xu Fan shook his head and flatly refused, “To take the Red Underworld Pill, one must at least be in the Qi Drawing Realm.

If taken forcibly, the body could easily be devastated by the violent potency, potentially leading to the collapse of the physical form.

I understand your feelings, but I have prepared a pill for each of you.

I hope you will redouble your efforts and wait until you enter the Qi Drawing Realm before taking it.”
“Alright then.”
Several team members at the peak of the Physical Training Realm, unable to hide their disappointment, nodded their heads, but they did not insist any further.

Instead, they felt regret for not working hard enough to break through to the Qi Drawing Realm earlier, and for the distress it now caused them.

Soon everyone quietly vowed to work even harder, striving to enter the Qi Drawing Realm as soon as possible.

Fifteen minutes later, of the original sixteen Qi Drawing Realm team members, one squad was stationed at the production area of Yifan Beauty Company, leaving only eleven Qi Drawing Realm members on Mount Longshou.

They all sat shirtless, wearing black silk shorts, with a distance of one Zhang between each of them, seated in a row.

After arranging themselves in the Five Hearts to the Sky position, each held a reddish-brown pill in their palms.

Xu Fan watched everyone calmly, with several Physical Training Realm team members scattered around, observing the situation and standing guard.

“Begin.”
Once Xu Fan sensed every member’s full and focused state through his Divine Sense, he gave the command.

At once, the eleven Qi Drawing Realm team members swallowed the Red Underworld Pills, then closed their eyes, and instantly started running the Void Annihilation Combat Technique to its limits, fully committing to refine the power of the elixir.

In a short while, everyone’s bodies began to tremble, their complexions turning as red as the dazzling morning glow, as if the slightest squeeze could directly wring blood from them.

Despite tightly clenched teeth, muffled groans were still inevitably emitted, clearly indicating that their bodies were enduring severe pain.

Xu Fan moved through the crowd, timely aiding those who couldn’t hold on, either pointing at their foreheads, patting their crown chakras, or pressing on their temples.

In a short while, the water inside everyone’s body rapidly evaporated or turned into sweat, emerging in waves from their bodies.

Without Xu Fan’s help, more than half of the team members would have probably been unable to withstand the ferocious medicinal power of the Red Underworld Pill wrecking their bodies; some of them might even have fallen to the ground in convulsions, letting out heart-wrenching screams of pain, but after being roused by Xu Fan, they sat back down and persevered in refining the pill’s power.

The members at the Body Tempering Realm watched with twitching eyelids, their hearts pounding with fear that they would fail.

Tongtong, who had been happily playing in a sandpit by herself, was drawn by the commotion over here and started to pay attention.

Finally, after a long twenty minutes, Zhou Xian was the first to finish the refinement.

The moment he opened his eyes, a flash of lightning streaked through his pupils, and immediately, an astonishing and fierce aura rose from his body.

Zhou Xian clenched his fists feeling his strength greatly increased, unable to hide his ecstatic expression.

He had become so much stronger!

This feeling of being brimming with power was just too exhilarating.

For a moment, he felt he had ascended to a higher level, and the world in his eyes seemed to grow more vast and expansive.

Yes, this was the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.

A minute later, Bull Demon also broke through successfully.

Song Qingshan was the third.

In the next ten minutes, all the team members who refined the Red Underworld Pill had successively made their breakthroughs.

Xu Fan was also joyous, gratified at his successful intervention.

If it weren’t for his help, probably more than half of the team members would have failed in their refinement, ending either with ruptured meridians or becoming completely crippled.

Creating eleven Martial Arts Grandmasters at once – a number this astonishing – was something no other power in the Secular World could likely match.

“Thank you, Boss!”
After their initial frenzy, these eleven individuals exchanged glances, then bent deeply at a ninety-degree angle, expressing their most heartfelt thanks to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan waved his hand with a smile.

After a brief exchange of congratulations, he began to give them instructions.

Those who had advanced to the Grandmaster Realm would officially start their security work and take responsibility for the protection of Yifan Beauty and Yifan Media Company.

Zhou Xian selected four people from among them to be in charge of Chen Shiyu’s personal security.

Xu Yixue would still be protected by Xu Dan and Ben Ben, after all Xu Dan and Ben Ben were the strongest Grandmasters among them.

In the afternoon, another security team stationed at the production facility was called back to Mount Longshou; all five individuals at the Qi Drawing Realm consumed the Red Underworld Pill, and all ascended to the Grandmaster level.

So, within one day, sixteen Martial Arts Grandmasters were added under Xu Fan’s command, and as for the remaining team members, who were all at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, it was believed that it wouldn’t be long before they too would successively consume the Red Underworld Pill.

With such a powerful Yifan Security team, the most core group was officially formed, beginning to demonstrate sizable combat prowess.

Xu Fan also entrusted Zhou Xian with the task of recruiting newblood, who could act as reserve members.

He specifically pointed to focusing on female recruits, after all, the key individuals to protect were the three ladies, Xu Yixue and Chen Shiyu.

Upon receiving his orders, Zhou Xian didn’t waste a single moment and immediately got in touch with his former comrades…
