"Master, I’m back," the lad approached the Myriad Pill Master and said respectfully.
"Hmm," the Myriad Pill Master nodded slightly but did not say much else.
"Master, there’s soone outside who wishes to see you," the lad reported again.
"Don’t see them. Tell them to leave," the Myriad Pill Master waved his sleeve irritably.
"Haven’t you seen I’m refining pills?"
The lad turned his head, looking sowhat troubled at Xu Zii.
"Myriad Pill Master takes this too seriously, I’m rely here to inquire about a person," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Who?" asked the elder, lifting his head.
"The Dustless Pill Master," Xu Zii replied, articulating every word.
"Never heard of them," after the Myriad Pill Master spoke, he bent down without looking back and continued to observe the pills before him.
"If you tell the whereabouts of the Dustless Pill Master, all will be well and safe," Xu Zii said with a light smile.
"Otherwise, today, I will have no choice but to have both of you accompany each other in death."
The Myriad Pill Master turned his head, sowhat stunned, "Are you threatening ?"
"I’m aware of your influence; probably just by ntioning pill refining, all of Dragon City would be willing to hunt down."
Xu Zii spoke lightly, "But think carefully.
Dragon City ans nothing to , and I had no intentions of becoming enemies."
"I don’t know any Dustless Pill Master," the Myriad Pill Master said after a mont of silence.
"Then who taught you your pill refining skills?" Xu Zii asked.
After another mont of silence, the Myriad Pill Master finally answered, "I’m self-taught."
"Alright then," Xu Zii raised his arm, and spiritual energy began to gather around him.
He continued lightly, "Since you refuse to speak, I will have no choice but to kill you."
Hearing Xu Zii’s words and seeing his large hand about to fall,
the lad at the side quickly said, "You’re seeking the Dustless Pill Master because you wish to refine pills, right?"
"So what if I am?" Xu Zii asked indifferently.
"Our Myriad Pill Master is, after all, a renowned pill master in Dragon City. Whatever pills you need, just have him assist you," the lad explained.
"No, he’s not capable enough," Xu Zii shook his head.
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, the Myriad Pill Master, who previously seed indifferent to death, slowly opened his eyes,
and asked faintly, "What pill is there that I cannot refine?"
"The Blood Devouring Immortality Pill," Xu Zii responded deliberately.
The Myriad Pill Master showed a hint of astonishnt and looked at Xu Zii incredulously, asking,
"The Blood Devouring Immortality Pill’s materials alone are beyond the reach of many. Do you possess them?"
"I have only one portion, so there is no room for any mistake," Xu Zii replied.
"Let see," the Myriad Pill Master said.
Xu Zii did not hesitate and imdiately took out the materials.
The Myriad Pill Master glanced at the lad beside him and finally turned his head towards Xu Zii to speak.
"I can help you find my master, the Dustless Pill Master, and have him refine the pill for you.
But you must agree to one thing,"
"Let’s hear it," Xu Zii said, looking up.
"Thirty li west of Dragon City, there lies a nest of Blood Dragon Bats," the Myriad Pill Master began.
"My master needs a blood-colored crystal stone from the center of that nest.
Consider it paynt for the pill refining."
"That’s not a small request," Xu Zii pondered for a mont and then smiled.
The Blood Dragon Bats are an exotic species of the Dragon Clan, a group-based Monster Beast.
Nobody knows exactly how many Blood Dragon Bats are within that nest.
So, the people of Dragon City seldom venture there,
furthermore, there are always rumors about Blood Dragon Bats sucking humans’ blood.
"That’s the bottom line," the Myriad Pill Master said, "After all, there aren’t many in this world who can refine the pill you seek."
"If you’re unwilling, even killing will be pointless."
Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brows; he knew that so of the most difficult people to deal with in the world were those who feared not death and those contemplating death as an escape.
"Is that your answer as well, Dustless Pill Master?" Xu Zii suddenly turned his head, his gaze burning as he looked at the young man in green beside him.
The young man in green was montarily stunned, then cracked a smile and said.
"How did you find out?"
"A guess," Xu Zii replied, eyes partly closed. "I’ll only ask one thing, is this your intention as well?"
"Yes," the Dustless Pill Master, knowing he had been exposed and not bothering to hide it any longer, confessed, "Bring the Blood Dragon Crystal, and I can help you concoct pills."
Xu Zii gave a slight nod, then left the small courtyard.
He took to the air, choosing his direction, and flew straight toward the west.
He had actually noticed sothing off about that young man earlier on.
The Myriad Pill Master’s gaze had constantly been on the young man when he spoke, as if seeking the latter’s opinion.
Considering the relationship between the two, Xu Zii had simply asked the question on a whim.
The Dustless Pill Master was indeed clever, secretly researching pill recipes with the help of his disciple, the Myriad Pill Master.
No wonder he was hard for others to find.
...
He continued on his journey through the skies, and after about fifteen minutes,
Xu Zii arrived at his destination for this trip.
It was a remote and small canyon.
Weeds and vines had overgrown one end of the canyon unchecked.
Bird calls echoed through the lush green branches, the place was deathly silent, desolate and uninhabited.
Xu Zii softly closed his eyes.
His Divine Soul emitted faint fluctuations, as Spiritual Energy enveloped his surroundings.
The perception of the Divine Soul was like an invisible scan.
Once Xu Zii closed his eyes, his Divine Soul swept across the land within a few miles around him.
This was the limit of his Divine Soul.
All the things within these few miles appeared before him,
dazzlingly clear!
When Xu Zii opened his eyes again, an invisible aura emanated from all around him.
He then plunged toward the bottom of the canyon.
In that place below, where ivy and vines overlapped in lush density, a cavern that directly pierced through the cliff walls of the canyon was revealed.
Xu Zii slowly drew Tyrant Shadow and slashed through the vines at the entrance with a single stroke.
The blade was engulfed in roaring flas, crackling as they burned.
As the entrance was exposed, a series of sharp, bizarre screeches rang out from within.
Imdiately following, sothing incredibly fast flew out from inside.
Xu Zii couldn’t dodge in ti, and the object collided strongly with Tyrant Shadow.
He felt a great force strike him, and he staggered several steps backward.
His gaze fixed, staring ahead.
A swath of blood-red tainted half of the Firmant.
Xu Zii frowned slightly; it was a flock of blood-red bats.
A strong scent of blood hit him, and countless piercing shrieks rged into one, a sound that seed capable of affecting one’s mind.
These bats had little horns atop their heads and enormous wings when outstretched,
with distinctly vivid blood-colored patterns.
Upon seeing Xu Zii, the intruder,
these Blood Dragon Bats, numbering in the hundreds, let out shrill cries as if to warn him.
Xu Zii couldn’t be bothered to tangle with them; he was aware of the principle of bloodline suppression.
His consciousness directly entered into his own True Fate World.
