Volume One, Chapter 34: We Welcome the Pill Lord!

This was certainly not something a beginner could accomplish. At the very least, it required an alchemist with years of practice and extensive experience!

“Then I shall show you just how great the difference between us really is!”

Chu Tianxing waved his hand and sent out a crimson alchemical flame, refining the pill with the Spirit Crane Spitting Pill technique.

Before even a quarter of an hour had passed, bursts of pill explosions began ringing out from within the cauldron, one after another, like a string of firecrackers.

“Hiss…”

Shangguan Hai and the various elders all drew sharp breaths, stunned on the spot.

Shangguan Han was completely dumbfounded as well. He stared at Chu Tianxing in disbelief. Could he truly possess such ability?

“Could it be that he deliberately concealed his true strength before? Only after seeing Brother Han suffer a setback did he…”

Yet years later, Meng Qing would still be young, while Xin Yi would already be a withered flower.

“Good!” Gu Chuhan nodded. After helping Yan Feiying familiarize herself with the place, she hurried off to deal with matters concerning the Manufacturing Bureau and the shipyard.

At the same time, he recalled that at the He residence in Jinguan City, Pan Zhiyong had told He Wu that he was planning to make a trip to Dujiangyan in Guan County.

“What should we do now?” Gu Chuhan wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him tighter and tighter as her eyes reddened and grew misty.

After he appeared, the cells and bloodline within Chen Nan rapidly overwhelmed the Great Emperor’s blood essence, devouring it in an instant.

A torrential rain came crashing down from the heavens, drenching everyone from head to toe until they looked like drowned rats.

Ji Bai also helped introduce a privately sold residence. It had four courtyards, and because the owner was eager to sell it—and was selling to an acquaintance—it cost only a little over three thousand taels of silver.

No sooner had he finished speaking than cannon fire sounded in the distance again. Judging from the noise, however, it was clearly some distance away.

After repeated deliberation, Xiao Tian finally made up her mind. She would find an appropriate time to discuss it with her husband.

The only thing that had previously offered Liu Yusheng a little psychological comfort was that his identity did not seem to have been exposed. The “Lu Renying” and “Wang Renxiong” he had imagined appeared to have misunderstood the concept of a confrontational instance. They must have believed that Liu Yusheng was hidden among the nineteen people.

Zhou Mingxuan hurriedly lowered his head to examine his hand, and was astonished to discover that a layer of talismanic markings truly appeared on his palm, flickering in and out of sight and radiating a faint halo. It made his hand look almost sacred.

“Look, this is a heavy arrow. The people who ambushed us this time were all using Serbian light arrows or Turkic wolf-fang arrows. This one alone is different.” During the battle just now, one of the enemy’s arrows had struck the gap in Saliwusi’s arm guard, allowing him to discover what was wrong.

Two enormous pillars of energy, equal in magnitude, collided violently in the sky. The energy on both sides was rapidly being consumed, and even space itself began to tremble fiercely.

The Ancient Clan, the Xiao Clan, the Lei Clan, the Yan Clan, the Yao Clan, and the Heavenly Palace had all dispatched experts to participate in the battle. Even the three great clans of the Beast Realm had sent their strongest warriors. The Xiao Clan was represented by Xiao Yan, Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Chen.

Only after he finally took that position did he realize that everything had been nothing more than a joke.

Yet for such pain to render Wang Qinian, a powerful Dou Ancestor, unable to endure it, one could easily see just how formidable the restriction imposed by the Hall of Souls truly was.

Now, although it was clearly the Portuguese king who had interfered in the internal politics of France and was in the wrong, he himself was forced to smile obsequiously and personally welcome the Portuguese king’s arrival. The humiliation left him furious and unable to save face.

They widened their eyes, bared their teeth, and twisted their faces into grotesque expressions. It was as though the “demeanor of a gentleman” they so often spoke of had never existed at all.

Di Qing himself felt that he had exhausted every ounce of effort over the past few months. He had never found commanding a campaign so difficult. In the eyes of the court, however, the army’s movements were slow, and the fact that it had now driven prisoners of war into rebellion made them equally dissatisfied.

The brick wall slowly rose. Moonlight shone in from outside, and Tang Lin and the others unconsciously smiled. Behind them, the Fire Aspect cast an invisibility spell and followed along.

Fusheng watched as Rotten-Head Zhang crossed through the barrier with the man. The bell in the man’s hand transformed into a dagger, and the dagger sliced open the barrier. The two of them crawled through the opening.

Qin Chuan in particular had become a well-loved city lord in Qingyun City after resolving the famine. Everyone greeted him with great enthusiasm when they saw him return.

“Lord Soul God!”

The ball of fire passed through the window lattice and fell into a private room of the breakfast shop. Although no one paid it much attention, the tremendous crash still caused the entire shop to tremble, while cries rang out from downstairs.

Liu Xin’s unspoken meaning was that he might not attend court or participate in deliberations for half a year, because he had more important matters to complete.

It was already spring. Outside Bianliang City, misty willows held the color of emerald, and gray eagles soared high above. Compared with the Fire Mountain Army, it was an entirely different scene.

The matter had caused a great commotion in the capital, and several companions from the southern campaign gathered in Fancheng to drink and dispel their boredom.

Du Zhongxiao had come to the capital to study and sit for the imperial examination, with a clear purpose in mind. Wu Kejiu, on the other hand, was merely casting his line whether or not there were dates to be picked. When the opportunity to use distilled liquor to build connections arose, he seized it tightly and refused to let go, only to have Du Zhongxiao undermine him completely.

Fildia had secretly placed a forbidden spell on Ye Huan long ago. It ensured that even if Ye Huan’s throat were cut, he would not truly die. At most, he would merely enter a state resembling death.

Tao Fengbo did not dare offend all of them at once. Otherwise, his position as sect master would immediately be forcibly stripped from him.

More than a dozen motley-haired men of various colors shouted in unison, their voices deafening. Some of the more hot-tempered ones had already raised the weapons in their hands, preparing to attack.

At that moment, Wang Yue sat blankly beside Shan Pao and the others, watching the performance in the center of the arena. Her heart was filled with indescribable shock.

Xiaoyong sighed inwardly. Unless… he killed a Heavenly Dao here as well, using a direct record of achievement to intimidate them, there was no way more of the Heavenly Daos would take his proposal seriously.

With nowhere left to flee, the Blood Fiend Beast began forcing its way out of Situ Fang’s body. Blood-fiend energy erupted, continuously spilling from within Situ Fang.

“Living bait can lure in more prey. I want all the Three-Eyed clans nearby to join in, and then we’ll wipe them out in one sweep,” Song Tianji explained.

With that, he raised his left hand in the posture of one who questioned Heaven. His right thumb curled inward while his middle and index fingers trembled lightly, like a conductor directing a symphony, or a pianist racing across the keys as heavenly melodies poured forth. Yet what Song Tianji played was the elements of heaven and earth themselves: wind, water, stone, and trees.

“That can be considered a pilot project. Go back and tell your father that the old-city redevelopment can also be entrusted to Sen Yu,” Lin Mu said with a smile.

Without a brain to direct it, the entire robot lost its control program, ceased operating, and collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Second Master Tang had been involved in the underworld for many years, and his accumulated prestige was formidable. The moment he entered the private room, everyone unconsciously rose to their feet. Only Wu Ziyu remained seated, so the others blocked him from view.

As soon as Second Master Tang arrived, his gaze focused on Ma Tianci, Yang Wei, and several other arrogant men. He did not carefully inspect who else was seated in the room.

“What is it? Go ahead and tell me.” Long Kun lit a cigarette and took a drag. At the same time, he removed the basket from Xing’er’s back and gestured for her to put it down by the roadside and rest for a while.

“Heh-heh…”

Suddenly, one side of Gui Li’s face twisted into a sinister smile. A thread of yellow light slowly spread from his hands, growing brighter and brighter until it finally condensed into an immensely powerful fist aura.
