Darryl laughed inwardly as he observed Cormac's hesitation and could not help saying, "I have refined the elixir, Cormac. I am at a loss if you still do not believe me still."
Then, he pretended to throw the elixir into the fire and said, "Alas, I thought I was sincere, but I didn't expect that I would only get suspicion and accusation. Forget it. I don't want this pill—"
He did not want to destroy the pill but only wanted to frighten Cormac. Darryl knew that Cormac seemed to have seen through everything in the world, but he valued his own life more than anything else.
Furthermore, under Darryl's guidance, Cormac sensed something was wrong with his body. How could he let Darryl destroy the elixir that he had tried so hard to refine?
"Young man, no—"
Sure enough, when he saw Darryl was about to destroy the pill, the expression on his face changed. He quickly walked forward and stopped him. He smiled and said, "My disciples are thoughtless. Please don't take it seriously."
Then, he took the pill from Darryl.
Darryl said calmly, "Aren't you afraid that the elixir might be poisonous?" That was interesting. Why would he speak out when things were already tense?
Cormac was initially shocked when he noticed Darryl's faint smile, and then he grinned awkwardly. "Stop laughing, young man. I will give it a try even if it is poisonous."
Cormac also realized that the man would not dare to poison him. If it were poisonous, he would not be able to live after that.
Not a single person in the world was afraid of death.
In addition, would he not be ridiculed for not having the courage to test the elixir as an elder with the Pure Yang Division?
So, he took the elixir without hesitation.
When Angus and the Three Major Sects' disciples noticed that, their expressions changed. They wanted to discourage him, but they were still a step behind.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Cormac, holding their breath and waiting quietly!
Darryl grinned in private as he observed Angus and others' anxious expressions.
