It had been the seventh day since the chaos at Smoke Wave Mansion.
Han Yu left Smoke Wave Mansion on the sa day, thinking that all the cultivators in the mansion had gotten into trouble, and now he was the only cultivator in all of Smoke Wave City, which was too conspicuous.
The Artifact Spirit had been sulking for several days, and it had been silent, quietly curling up in the corner of the Sea of Consciousness.
The problem still lay in the changes of the Glazed Bottle that day...
When Han Yu was enveloped in a cloud of mist, there was a popping sound like beans exploding.
Following that, a constant flow of power surged through his limbs and bones.
"Is my body being strengthened?"
Han Yu looked surprised. In the past, when the Artifact Spirit talked about the body’s strengthening, it was always a subtle process, without any direct experience.
This ti, with such a noticeable commotion, it seed that his body was undergoing another earth-shattering transformation.
Before he had ti to rejoice, a voice even more joyful than his own exclaid.
"I have authority! I have authority!"
In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass was jumping around with both hands raised, her bun face nearly splitting into a line.
Han Yu was puzzled. Recently, the struggle for authority between Ping and the Artifact Spirit had always seen the Artifact Spirit being suppressed.
After all, there had been several instances where Glass had suffered unexpected setbacks.
Back when it got injured from being besieged by a blind man and a widow, Ping had deducted energy from Glass to recover itself.
When Young Master Lin’s female Qilin consud the West River Pill, Glass chose the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth, thus giving up energy gains.
This portion of energy was then transferred by Ping to broaden his Sea of Consciousness. Glass made a wrong choice, only transforming into a bun head, getting further away from authority.
This ti, they had sched against all the cultivators in a mansion. Even though they had gained energy, looking at Glass’ strange transformation, it hardly seed like she had the upper hand.
Han Yu suddenly had a bizarre thought: it seed every ti the Artifact Spirit fell, he benefited!
Glass was still frolicking in the Sea of Consciousness like a child, especially wearing a face that Han Yu found incredibly familiar.
"Are you sure you’ve gained authority?"
Han Yu asked.
Glass crossed her hands on her cheeks and laughed heartily.
"The bottle has fallen asleep, its authority has fallen to ."
The Glazed Bottle fell asleep?
Han Yu was extrely surprised. Although he didn’t really consider it a dead object, the concept of a bottle being associated with sleep seed absurd!
But Glass, being the Artifact Spirit, if she said the bottle was asleep, it couldn’t be a lie. Still, it felt odd. Why would the bottle fall asleep? Was it because of the energy provided this ti causing such a change?
Han Yu introspected the mysterious rune on the bottle’s belly, deep in thought.
Indeed, the bottle remained silent the next day, even the daily pills had stopped.
Glass had a vigorous deanor of a salted fish turning over, laughing in the Sea of Consciousness, "Han Yu, just follow from now on."
Only after confirming that the bottle was truly asleep, did Han Yu seemingly have a realization and suddenly say.
"Since the bottle is asleep, does your authority really count as authority?"
Glass’ smile froze abruptly, her mouth twitching, and her whole bun head collapsed in frustration.
Han Yu showed a look of pity, perhaps it was just a coincidence.
Perhaps... the Artifact Spirit was played by the bottle again.
Once the bottle completely fell asleep, even with authority, Glass couldn’t command the bottle, nor could she produce any West River Pill through it.
If this move by the bottle was intentional, then the outco was clear.
The two weren’t even on the sa level of opponents, the Artifact Spirit being like a naive child, repeatedly led astray.
"Waa..."
Glass seed to realize the truth as well, hugged her head, and began to wail loudly.
Han Yu sighed slightly. From the Artifact Spirit’s usual behavior, its ntality seed quite childish.
The things it wanted, it desired urgently without a strong sense of right and wrong, even getting angry at things it didn’t like.
This round, the bottle most likely won completely, and it was a ruthless victory.
––
Ye Hei slunk back, which Bian Renjie hadn’t expected.
Sitting quietly at the head, listening to Ye Hei’s report, he was dumbfounded.
"So, you almost got taken out."
Ye Hei still shuddered in fear, rembering the murderous intent from those elders.
If it hadn’t been for his family’s Great Elder throwing him aside, he might have really been beaten to death.
Who would’ve known a strange pill could provoke such a reaction from a group of Realm of Transcendence experts?
Who would’ve thought this pill could affect even experts of such a realm?
Bian Renjie, a bit unwilling, held the box. To be honest, if not for those terrible side effects, this pill could save a lot of resources in sect cultivation.
There’s no way this side could work it out, they could only hope for the other sects.
"Send the pills to Piaomiao City,"
Bian Renjie instructed.
Ye Hei wore a bitter face, having just returned and barely caught his breath, now he had to run such a long distance again.
Piaomiao City! Supposedly jointly held by the Nine Sects, it would be easier to just send it to the Mo Family nearby, then let them send it further.
Ye Hei had only just thought of this when Bian Renjie promptly instructed.
"Do not send it to the Mo Family. Hmph! I want them to be the last to receive the pills."
Well! Just this excuse alone ant he surely had to make a trip to Piaomiao City.
Just as he was about to take the box, Bian Renjie, not quite content, opened the box.
What a pity, Unparalleled Tower couldn’t use it.
As Bian Renjie’s reluctant gaze was about to move away from the pill, suddenly a puff of green smoke arose, and the pill in the box started turning into smoke.
In just two breaths, the box was empty, and the pill had vanished into thin air.
Ye Hei looked terrified. He had clearly seen what happened just now, the pill turned into smoke and was gone!
Such a bizarre thing happened right before his eyes.
Swiftly, he took a few steps back, with hands open, "Sect Leader, I didn’t touch the pill."
If it hadn’t been for the sect leader wanting a longer look, had it disappeared on Ye Hei’s hand, even if he had a thousand mouths, he couldn’t explain in Piaomiao City!
Bian Renjie was montarily taken aback, silently closing the box, and sighed slowly, "Maybe I’ve been too tired lately, how could I believe such nonsense?"
He then reopened the box, still as empty as before.
The pill had truly vanished into smoke!
Bian Renjie slightly quirked his mouth, silently raising his head to look at his errand-running subordinate, and asked.
"Do you think if I told the other sects the pill disappeared on its own, they’d believe it?"
