Chapter 3604: Robbing the Psychic Pill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian had learned about the Psychic Pill from the World Cleansing Divine Water when they were still in the Devata Realm. He had learned that only medicinal herbs found in the Realms of Gods could be used to refine the Psychic Pill, a divine pill. Moreover, the alchemist had to possess a divine flame in order to refine the pill.
A decent alchemist in the Realms of Gods most likely possessed a divine flame. Even if they were not highly skilled in the law of fire, most of them were still skilled compared to the average person. This was because one had to be skilled in the law of fire to become an alchemist in the Realms of Gods. Alchemists in the Realms of Gods were also known as divine pill alchemists.
‘The Psychic Pill is brown and glows with light. It’s identifiable by the silk-like pattern on its surface. It’s easy to tell the difference between the real pattern and one that was drawn on…’ Duan Ling Tian recalled the words of the World Cleansing Divine Water.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the pill in the transparent box. It looked exactly like the World Cleansing Divine Water’s description. He could tell the pattern on its surface was real as well.
Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that the Psychic Pill was genuine. After all, it was sold by the Meng family, one of the four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City. They would not sell something fake since it would tarnish their reputation. Moreover, the other three forces would definitely seize the opportunity to expose them if they were to sell a fake pill, let alone a divine pill such as the Psychic Pill. If something like that happened, it would be impossible for the Meng family and the Still Water Pavilion, which they owned, to salvage their reputation.
“Who’s he? He’s so wealthy even though he’s just a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor.”
“I don’t think he’s from Descent Mountain City. I haven’t seen him around before.”
“Did he buy the Psychic Pill to break through and attain godhood?”
The crowd looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously as they discussed among themselves.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian patiently waited for the arrival of the Meng family’s divine pill alchemist.
At the same time, Meng Yuan, the shopkeeper of the Still Water Pavilion, tried to probe Duan Ling Tian about his background.
Duan Ling Tian gave the same answers he had given in the Rejuvenation Tower.
A commotion broke out as soon as Duan Ling Tian said he was from the Glorious Heaven Sect. There were some people who doubted Duan Ling Tian’s claims as well.
“The Glorious Heaven Sect?”
“He’s a disciple from the Glorious Heaven Sect?!”
“However, how can a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect lack Psychic Pills?”
“Based on what I know, the disciples of emperor-rank forces will be given a Psychic Pill when they become a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. The Glorious Heaven Sect can’t be so stingy, right?”
“Maybe he had only recently broken through and became a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor after leaving the sect…” someone said in Duan Ling Tian’s defense.
At this time, an old man that looked younger than his age who was dressed in a red long robe arrived.
Meng Yuan greeted the red-clad old man enthusiastically as soon as the red-clad old man arrived.
“Fourth Junior Granduncle.”
Apart from being a divine pill alchemist, the red-clad old man was also a god. Hence, he was a rather prominent figure in the Meng family. Usually, divine pill alchemists would not stay in a small family like the Meng family unless they were descendants of the family. Not only was the old man a descendant of the Meng family, but he was also directly related to Meng Yuan; he was Meng Yuan’s fourth junior granduncle.
The red-clad old man’s arrival attracted the crowd’s attention immediately.
“That’s Meng Qi You, the Meng family’s divine pill alchemist!”
“Not only is he a divine pill alchemist, but he’s also one of the members of the Meng family who are rudimentary gods.”
Before Meng Qi You could speak to Duan Ling Tian, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward and kneeled in front of Meng Qi You. Then, he kowtowed three times as he said, “Alchemist Meng, you’ve been my idol since I was a child! It’s an honor that I finally get to meet you today! Please accept me as your disciple!”
The crowd jeered at the middle-aged man immediately. It was clear to them that the middle-aged man only wanted to become Meng Qi You’s disciple due to Meng Qi You’s reputation and status, which would provide him with protection. Moreover, if Meng Qi You accepted him, he would be able to brag about it in Descent Mountain City.
“Previously, I heard there were shameless people kneeling in front of the gods from the Qian family, asking to be their disciples. However, those people were refused. I didn’t expect there to be such a shameless person!” someone said mockingly.
“Although he’s shameless, there’s no doubt his fate will change if he’s accepted as a disciple.”
Many people were looking at the middle-aged man disdainfully at this moment.
Just as Meng Yuan was about to intervene, Meng Qi You stopped in his tracks and glanced at the middle-aged man as he said with a scoff, “You’re more than 10,000 years old, and yet, you’re not even a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. To think you have the audacity to say you want to become my disciple. What a joke. Get out of my sight while I’m still feeling merciful.”
“Alchemist Meng, please give me a chance!” The middle-aged man continued to kneel and kowtowed. He was unaware of the danger that loomed over him; he did not think Meng Qi You was serious with his threats.
As soon as the middle-aged man’s voice fell, Meng Qi You kicked out with his leg that burned with fire.
Boom!
When Meng Qi You’s flaming leg connected with the middle-aged man, the flames burned the middle-aged man immediately. In just a blink of an eye, he had vanished from sight. Only a burnt smell lingered in the air.
Silence descended immediately as chills ran up the crowd’s spines.
“There are rumors that the divine pill alchemist from the Meng family was famous for being ruthless in his younger days. It seems like the rumor is true…”
“It seems like time didn’t change him at all…”
Although the crowd disdained the middle-aged man, they did not think it was necessary for Meng Qi You to kill him. Naturally, no one, including Duan Ling Tian, voiced out their thoughts.
Duan Ling Tian only raised an eyebrow slightly. Even if he had attained godhood, he would have not have intervened on the middle-aged man’s behalf. Although he agreed the middle-aged man’s intention was impure, at most, he would teach the middle-aged man a lesson he would never forget if he were in Meng Qi You’s shoes.
Meng Qi You approached Duan Ling Tian with a smile on his face as though nothing had happened before he said, “Meng Yuan has told me about you. I’m the Meng family’s Grand Elder and divine pill alchemist, Meng Qi You.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “Sorry to trouble you to come all the way here, Elder Meng Qi You. Should I give you the 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks now?”
Meng Qi You smiled. “Alright. It seems like you’re in a hurry.”
After deactivating the Formation on the transparent box, Meng Qi You handed the Psychic Pill to Duan Ling Tian.
However, just as Duan Ling Tian reached out for the Psychic Pill, he felt a powerful energy sweeping toward the Psychic Pill in Meng Qi You’s hand.
‘A god!’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim immediately.
A thunderous sound rang in the air as the energy surged out. Based on this, Duan Ling Tian could tell the person had comprehended the law of lightning. The person’s speed was as fast as lightning as he rushed toward the Psychic Pill.
A Psychic Pill, which cost 3,000 taels of divine rocks, was enough to tempt rudimentary gods, after all.
Meng Qi You scoffed before he swiftly put the Psychic Pill away. Flames shot out of his palm and collided with the energy that flashed with lightning bolts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The energy from the collision caused the void in the Still Water Pavilion to distort and ripple. It seemed like the collision had triggered the Formations in the Still Water Pavilion.
Since many pills were stored in the Still Water Pavilion, the Meng family had naturally set up Formations to prevent thefts and robberies. Nonetheless, the Formations were not enough of a deterrent to rudimentary gods.
“How dare you steal from the Meng family!” Meng Qi You scoffed as he flashed out of the Still Water Pavilion.
At the same time, the crowd and Duan Ling Tian, who were still in the Still Water Pavilion, heard a commotion outside.
“You won’t be able to escape!”
The crowd was pulled back to their senses when they heard Meng Qi You’s voice. Following that, they rushed out of the Still Water Pavilion to watch the show.
Duan Ling Tian followed the crowd out. Naturally, he would not leave since he had yet to obtain the Psychic Pill that was now in Meng Qi You’s possession.. Moreover, based on his cultivation progress, he was 70% confident he would be able to break through and attain godhood after consuming the Psychic Pill.
