Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Three days later.
Jingyang City, an inn in the city.
As another beam of light shot up into the sky, mysterious soul fluctuations spread over a radius of dozens of miles, covering more than half of Jingyang City.
At this time, a large number of people had gathered around the inn. Many of them were cultivators, and there were also a certain number of alchemists. Of course, the majority of them were ordinary people, they all wanted to know what had caused this strange phenomenon.
Thousands of people had surrounded the extremely ordinary inn. Everyone was pointing at the spot where the light pillar rose up.
“This aura… it really is the aura of a high-grade medicinal pill being formed!”
“That’s right, and it’s a medicinal pill related to the soul!”
“My God, when was there an alchemist with such ability in Jingyang City?”
Some people in the crowd repeatedly cried out in surprise. Numerous gazes were firmly locked onto the inn not far away, hoping to capture the person who caused all of this. Quite a number of alchemists’ expressions were even more fanatical. After all, the person who was able to create such an unusual phenomenon was definitely an alchemist of quite a high level. If they were able to get to know each other, they would even be fortunate enough to be given some pointers by the latter. Perhaps their pill refinement path would be a lot less tortuous.
Just as everyone was exclaiming in surprise, the pillar of light that reached the sky suddenly disappeared. Immediately, an inconspicuous stream of light shot out from the inn at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it rushed towards the horizon.
“It’s a medicinal pill! This medicinal pill actually has a faint consciousness once it is formed!”
Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized what this flowing light was and cried out in surprise.
Everyone involuntarily inhaled a breath of cold air when they heard this.
Medicinal pills under the heavens were divided into one to nine grades in total. Above the nine grades were the Saint-grade and Emperor-grade medicinal pills. If such a phenomenon occurred when pills were formed, the pills were at least eight-grade and above. This meant that the medicinal pill in front of him was actually of the eighth grade! This also meant that the person who refined this medicinal pill was at least at the level of an eighth-grade alchemist!
What kind of concept was an eighth-grade alchemist? Forget about this Eastern Continent, even if one were to compare the Four Continents, an eighth-grade alchemist was a hot commodity that could be fought over by the various large sects!
Following closely behind that flowing light was a vigorous figure. Compared to the speed at which the medicinal pill escaped, the latter’s speed was even faster. He arrived at the side of the medicinal pill in an instant. Soon after, a large hand reached out and successfully kept it in his bag.
In the next moment, that figure once again landed in the inn.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The speed was so fast that no one present had the time to clearly see what that person looked like.
At the same time, on the top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
One could almost see half of Jingyang City from here.
At this moment, Tong Shan and the woman were looking into the distance, taking in the scene that had just happened.
“Eighth-grade medicinal pill, huh…” the woman said faintly, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
“The people who killed Duan Hao a few days ago happened to live in that direction. Moreover, the spiritual medicine they bought that day was of a high level, enough to refine eighth-grade medicinal pills.”
Tong Shan, who was at the side, spoke softly. The meaning in his words was self-evident.
Connecting all these together, it made people involuntarily recall the figure of the slightly thin man in green clothes.
“Perhaps this is the confidence that he has to dare to kill Duan Hao.” Tong Shan spoke again. He could not help but secretly sigh in relief that he did not act rashly that day. Otherwise, if he offended am eight-grade alchemist because of this, the gains would not be worth the losses.
The woman did not reply. She just looked straight into the distance.
In the inn.
As Gu Xi’s figure descended, he held a jade bottle in his hand. Within it were Soul-casting Pills that had already been refined.
He originally only used a little more than two hours to refine two Soul-casting Pills. However, in order to not cause any other trouble, he forcefully delayed for three days before he was able to ‘barely’ refine them.
The Soul-casting Pill was a genuine eighth-grade high-grade medicinal pill. If others were to find out that he had used a little more than two hours to refine two of them, they would probably drop their jaws in shock.
This kind of speed could no longer be described as fast. He was simply a pervert among perverts!
“Alright, give these two pills to Elder Gu and Elder Yun respectively.”
Gu Xi took a deep breath and spoke with an extremely exhausted expression.
As his voice faded, the door to the room was pushed open by a pair of jade hands. They saw that Qing Zhu, Little Nine, and Song Qingluan had already been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Qing Zhu stepped forward and received the two jade bottles. After opening them, she carefully observed them for a moment before her beautiful eyes looked at Gu Xi with a strange expression.
“Two eighth-grade Soul-casting Pill. You can really refine them.”
After keeping the two jade bottles properly, Qing Zhu’s voice was filled with disbelief.
Two high-grade eighth-grade pills in three days. Moreover, this kind of soul-type pills were especially difficult to refine. With such speed, Qing Zhu could not help but doubt if Gu Xi’s refining level was only what she saw right now.
One had to know that an eighth-grade alchemist could have an extraordinary status even in the Central Plains. If Gu Xi’s level was not just like this, then she simply could not imagine just what kind of monstrous talent this fellow had.
No, this was no longer considered just talent. It was simply the Heavens chasing after him to feed him!
“It was just a fluke.” Gu XI smiled slightly. It was still this kind of unconvincing argument.
“Do you think I believe you?”
Qingzhu was not very surprised by Gu Xi’s answer. It was as if she had already expected such a ridiculous response.
Gu Xi still maintained his smile and did not answer her again.
Seeing that Gu Xi was not willing to say more, Qing Zhu tactfully did not ask any more questions. After all, this kind of matter was related to his privacy. She could not force him to tell her, right?
Qing Zhu did not stay any longer. She took the jade bottle and left in a hurry. After all, the most important thing now was to let the two elders recuperate.
“I need to recuperate during this period of time. It is likely that quite a number of people will come to visit me. I am afraid that I will need both of you to help me reject them.”
After Qing Zhu left, Gu Xi turned to look at Little Nine and the other two.
Hearing this, Little Nine and the other two nodded their heads lightly before turning around to leave.
After doing all this, Gu Xi sat down once again and looked through the window at the bustling crowd gathered in the distance. There was some doubt in his expression.
Ever since he had killed Duan Hao at the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion the last time, there had not been the slightest bit of trouble coming to his door these few days. It was as if the Hall of Flowing Light had completely forgotten about this matter.
“No matter when you come, I’ll just sit and wait,” Gu Xi muttered, his words filled with a faint killing intent.
