Indeed, as the news was sent back home and screenshots of international discussions returned to Dragon Country, it instantly exploded.


    "Damn! I knew this wouldn''t be simple; turns out it''s a conspiracy. As for these pharmaceuticalpanies, I''m just going tough at them."


    "Exactly, these pharmaceuticalpanies are truly shameless. The reasons are all the same. If you have to concoct reasons, could you at least put in some effort? It''s really outrageous."


    "They just can''t stand us seeding. We''ve worked hard to develop a greatpany like Celestial Medicine, and now they want to destroy it or even take it over. They''re really ying dirty!"


    "No... we absolutely can''t let them seed. If they want to take on Celestial Medicine, they''ll have to climb over my dead body."


    "That''s right, Dragon Country isn''t a yground for these bastards to run wild in. We vow to defend Celestial Medicine to the death."


    For a moment, manyizens in Dragon Country were furious.


    Seeing the international pharmaceuticalpanies use such tactics to bully Celestial Medicine, wanting to destroy it at any cost, they refused to yield. Even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they had to protect Celestial Medicine.


    Of course, some people had different views and sneered at them.


    "Haven''t you realized the seriousness of the problem? If medicines really stop flowing, do you know how many patients will face difficulties daily? Without medicine to take or use, are you willing to take responsibility?"


    "Exactly... isn''t it just Celestial Medicine? If worsees to worst, we''ll just give it to them. Anyway, we absolutely can''t go without medicines."


    "A bunch of idiots, vowing to protect Celestial Medicine. Even if you die, you can''t change the fact that Celestial Medicine is doomed. It''s futile. This matter doesn''t offer any choices but to agree to all their demands, or else the country will be utterly finished."


    ...


    In their view, medicine is the most crucial thing. If the supply stops, the entire country might be thrown into chaos.


    Indeed, if the medicine supply stops, it would be a significant issue for Dragon Country. If not resolved, Dragon Country could be in grave danger.


    They''re not wrong, but those online supporting Celestial Medicine wouldn''t think like that; they immediately shed with them.


    Thus, the inte buzzed with fierce debates between both sides.


    Such a significant issue would soon be widely known, and most likely, there would soon be answers to what the oue would be.


    In truth, upon hearing such news, domestic pharmaceuticalpanies were very excited.


    In their opinion, if internationalpanies cut supply, they''d have a chance to seize a part of the market.


    Furthermore, if they''re strong enough, they couldpletely divide the market among themselves.


    But, it''s apparent they''re not strong enough; their technology and production capacity can''t meet the national market demands.


    There are many advanced drugs they simply have no way of producing.


    Only then did they realize that if supply is really cut off, the consequences would be extremely severe, and they too might be implicated.


    For a moment, upon hearing the news, everyone in the country panicked.


    ...


    Meanwhile, international pharmaceuticalpanies, seeing the feedback from Dragon Country, were all smiling with excitement.


    "Haha! As expected, once we announced the supply cut, they panickedpletely. This is our strength. A mere Celestial Medicine is nothing; we can wipe them out in minutes."


    "Exactly, just Celestial Medicine, just Dragon Country''s market, dare to oppose us? They really don''t know their ce."


    "Drink up, and let''s wait for news from Dragon Country. I guarantee there''ll be news to our satisfaction."


    "Cheers!"


    Some pharmaceuticalpany executives were even gathered, already starting to celebrate.


    In their view, based on the information from Dragon Country''s market, their operation this time was incredibly sessful, nearlypleted.


    So, they weren''t worried about the big challenge of Celestial Medicine anymore.


    Moreover, at the same time, countless pharmaceutical executives started celebrating because of this.


    They felt the stone pressing on their hearts had finally fallen, and they could finally focus on developing their pharmaceutical businesses with peace of mind.


    ...


    Meanwhile, amidst the external chaos, under Ye Feng''s protection, Griffin had already delved into the Thunder Pool.


    Upon entering the Thunder Pool, Griffin immediately felt endless pain.


    Indeed, after Griffin entered the Thunder Pool, endless lightning surged towards her.


    This endless lightning furiously attacked Griffin''s body, causing her great difort.


    However, Griffin didn''t panic; instead, she followed Ye Feng''s method to initiate a special cultivation mode.


    Through Griffin''s constant cultivation, the lightning entering her body was entirely refined by her.


    This not only made Griffin''s cultivation base increasingly stronger but also heightened her resistance to lightning, allowing her to move freely within the Thunder Pool.


    Steadily, Griffin continued to swim deeper into the Thunder Pool.


    Before she descended, Ye Feng had instructed her to explore deep within the Thunder Pool to gain greater benefits.


    She trusted Ye Feng''s words implicitly, believing he wouldn''t deceive her.


    Indeed, as Griffin ventured deeper, she felt the lightning grow increasingly horrendous, and she was on the verge of giving up.


    But, relying on Ye Feng''s method, she continuously refined the lightning in her body, bing stronger, and enhancing her lightning resistance.


    As Griffin became stronger, the pain gradually dissipated, enabling her to delve deeper into the pool, advancing into deeper regions.


    Boom!


    At that moment, a fierce Heart of Frenzied Thunder appeared before Griffin.


    Indeed, a pulsating Heart of Frenzied Thunder appeared before Griffin.


    Although this Heart wasn''t particrlyrge, having a diameter of half a meter or so,


    It emitted a dazzling light, releasing extremely terrifying energy.


    "Is this what Ye Feng called the Heart of Frenzied Thunder? If I refine it, will I be very powerful?" Seeing this sight, Griffin felt thrilled. She knew her greatest opportunity was right before her.


    Originally, she was unwilling to take such a great treasure, thinking handing it to Ye Feng would yield better results.


    But, upon Ye Feng''s persuasion, she understood the Heart of Frenzied Thunder was only effective for her, so she reluctantly agreed.


    Moreover, she was well aware of the growing gap between her and Ye Feng, and this was uneptable.


    She needed to keep pace with Ye Feng. Otherwise, if the gap widened too much, she''d be of no use to Ye Feng and would surely be abandoned.


    Therefore, to assist Ye Feng and avoid falling behind, she must grow strong swiftly, or she''d feel useless, akin to garbage.


    With that realization, Griffin walked toward the Heart of Frenzied Thunder, desperately activating the Heart Method Ye Feng taught her.


    Boom!


    As Griffin approached the Heart of Frenzied Thunder, pain contorted her face.


    Griffin was sure that such pain was unbearable for ordinary people.


    Without her determination and the fervent desire to catch up with Ye Feng, even she wouldn''t withstand such pain.


    Such pain was simply beyond human endurance...
