Chapter 751: The Pill Tower's Secret

After the giant flame beasts exploded, they transformed into streams of fine flames that fell into the sea of fire, as if a rain of fire had begun.

Wang Jianqiang was just about to fly toward the Pill Furnace.

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

One after another, massive figures flew out from the sea of fire again.

They were still dozens of giant flame beasts, and the strength of each one was enough to rival a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

With another wave of his palm, these flame beasts exploded once more, turning into a sheet of fire rain that fell back into the sea of fire.

Wang Jianqiang looked down at the sea of fire.

The next moment.

Dozens more giant flame beasts flew out.

He frowned, "As expected, this sea of fire is formed by an Array, and these flame beasts are merely a manifestation of the Array's power."

"After the flame beasts are slain, the fire rain returns to the sea of fire, which is equivalent to the return of power; it causes not the slightest loss of power."

"In other words, if this continues, the sea of fire can keep condensing flame beasts indefinitely."

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang simply stopped paying attention to these flame beasts.

He wrapped his power directly around his body, ignored the attacks of these flame beasts, and flew toward the Pill Furnace.

The flame beasts chased after him, attacking incessantly.

Boom~

Boom~

Scorching forces exploded one after another, but Wang Jianqiang acted as if he had activated an invincible golden body, ignoring all attacks.

Not long after.

When Wang Jianqiang entered within a hundred feet of the Pill Furnace, all the giant flame beasts stopped their attacks in unison.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

He then continued to approach the Pill Furnace and arrived beside it.

He slapped his palm onto the Pill Furnace.

Spirit Light flashed on the exterior of the Pill Furnace, and the Restriction covering it shattered with a crash.

Having lost the containment of the Restriction, the medicinal power within the Pill Furnace could no longer be perfectly contained.

Wisps of medicinal fragrance drifted out.

Just by smelling a wisp of the scent, the Spiritual Power, Will Power, and even the Soul Power within Wang Jianqiang's body actually all began to stir.

"What kind of Pill is in this furnace that it can simultaneously affect Spiritual Power, Will Power, and Soul Power?"

A look of surprise appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

"Hahahaha~"

Just at this moment, a hearty burst of laughter suddenly arrived.

Following that.

A wisp of light smoke drifted out from the Pill Furnace and transformed into a heroic-looking middle-aged man.

Wang Jianqiang immediately revealed a look of vigilance.

He had seen old monsters set traps for Possession more than once.

Subconsciously, he grew guarded.

However, immediately afterward, the wariness in his heart dissipated somewhat.

Because he discovered that this middle-aged man's expression was dull, without the slightest emotion.

Clearly, it was just a Spiritual Power projection.

It was like a pre-set program, devoid of any thoughts, and would pose no threat to him.

Just as Wang Jianqiang deduced the middle-aged man's true nature, the man's laughter subsided, and he did not look at Wang Jianqiang.

Instead, he stared straight ahead, and a hearty voice emerged from his mouth.

"The ninth level of the Pill Tower is equipped with the Burning Heaven Destroying Earth Array; once someone steps inside, it will condense fire spirits to attack."

"Although this Array is in a semi-dormant state under my control, the fire spirits condensed still possess the power of the Ninth-Order Will Stage."

"However, while setting up the Burning Heaven Destroying Earth Array, I also set up the Responding Heaven Array; this Array can discern the destiny of others."

"With the two Arrays working in tandem..."

"Those with heaven-defying destiny who enter this place will not trigger the Burning Heaven Destroying Earth Array and can pass through unimpeded."

"Those with weaker destiny who enter will draw out ten fire spirits to block them."

"And so on."

"Those with extremely poor destiny can draw up to fifty fire spirits to surround and attack them, and the fire spirits will emerge from the sea of fire endlessly until the intruder is forced back or killed."

"In my life, my talent was inferior to none, but I lacked only a bit of destiny; therefore, when creating this Secret Realm, I specifically added a test of destiny."

"Junior, since you were able to reach the Pill Furnace and break the Restriction outside it, you must surely be a Monster of both top-tier destiny and talent."

"However, wanting to obtain my, the Pill Emperor's, complete inheritance, merely clearing the Pill Tower is not enough."

"Continue to work hard."

"Hahaha~"

Amidst a hearty laugh, the heroic middle-aged man quickly dissipated.

"He is the Pill Emperor?"

Wang Jianqiang slowly withdrew his gaze, then, as if thinking of something, he looked at the fifty massive flaming figures a hundred feet away, a strange look appearing on his face.

According to the Pill Emperor's settings, he himself seemed to be in the cohort with the worst luck, right?

This Pill Emperor was so obsessed with destiny; he wondered what kind of expression the Pill Emperor would have if he knew that the person who cleared the Pill Tower was not someone with excellent destiny, but rather one from the worst cohort.

Wang Jianqiang smiled maliciously, waved his palm, and opened the lid on the Pill Furnace.

Looking into the Pill Furnace, he then discovered that what was stored inside was not a Pill, but a pot—no, a furnace—of viscous liquid.

A rich medicinal fragrance diffused from the liquid.

Wang Jianqiang only felt the agitation of the Spiritual Power, Will Power, and Soul within his body become even more intense.

"Although the medicinal effect is strong, it is very impure; it should have been formed by the melting of a large number of Pills."

"No wonder it could cause my Spiritual Power, Will Power, and Soul Power to become agitated at the same time."

"However, in this way, this furnace of Pills can be considered ruined; what a pity..."

He sighed and put the Pill Furnace lid back on.

He waved his palm.

He put the Pill Furnace away.

Although the medicinal liquid in the Pill Furnace was already ruined, it still had some research value.

He did not discard it directly, but kept it for backup.

After selling it in the future, it could also be exchanged for some resources he could use.

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

Just at this moment, a series of whistling sounds reached his ears.

After the Pill Furnace disappeared.

The fifty fire spirits a hundred feet away seemed to have lost what they feared and launched an attack on Wang Jianqiang again.

Wang Jianqiang ignored the attacks of these fire spirits and instead looked at the sea of fire below, his eyes flickering.

Burning Heaven Destroying Earth Array?

It sounded very impressive.

If he could take it away...

A moment later.

He shook his head again.

After entering this Secret Realm, he discovered that this Pill Emperor not only had high attainments in the Pill Dao, but also seemed to have studied Arrays.

Perhaps Array Dao was not the Pill Emperor's greatest strength, but it was definitely not a weakness.

An array set up by a powerhouse at the Great Vehicle Perfection level, even if weak, would likely be enough to threaten an ordinary Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator.

It was better not to take risks casually.

Thinking of this, he immediately suppressed the greed in his heart, ignored the fire spirit attacks, flew out of the sea of fire area, and appeared beside Mu Lingxi.

"What kind of Pill was in that Pill Furnace?"

Mu Lingxi immediately leaned in.

"No Pill, but there was a furnace of medicinal liquid."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Medicinal liquid?

Mu Lingxi was startled.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, and after pondering for a moment, said, "The medicinal power of that liquid is extremely astonishing, but the medicinal properties within it are very impure."

"According to my guess, what the Pill Emperor left behind should have originally been a furnace of Pills; it must have undergone some unknown changes during this long period of time."

"The Pills melted into medicinal liquid."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi's face fell, "In that case, aren't the Pills ruined?"

"Indeed."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Seeing that Mu Lingxi was a bit dispirited, looking as if she had lost money, Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but pinch her cheek, "What are you thinking about? It's just a mere Pill Emperor; could the Pills he refined be better than the ones your Senior Brother I refine?"

"That's not it, I just feel that we wasted time entering here, but only got a Pill Furnace; I always feel like we suffered a loss," Mu Lingxi said.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, a thoughtful look appearing on his face, "Perhaps our luck isn't very good."

"But this can also be considered a lesson learned."

"When we reach the Dharma Hall and the Artifact Pavilion, let Xuan Che be the vanguard, and we will follow up to harvest."

"Perhaps we can maximize the gains."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi's eyes immediately lit up, and she said with a face full of admiration, "Senior Brother still has the most methods."

Afterwards, the two did not continue to stay in the Pill Tower.

They left the Pill Tower all the way, arrived at the teleportation portal leading to other areas, and walked into it hand in hand.

The next moment.

The two arrived in a vast world.

Medicine Realm?

The two looked at each other.

The teleportation portal is random, so it is not strange to be teleported back to the Medicine Realm.

They turned around and stepped into the teleportation portal once again.

Immediately, they arrived in an unfamiliar space.

The area of this space was about the same as the space where the Pill Tower was located.

In the center of this space, a building was also constructed.

It was a three-story Pavilion.

It was precisely the Artifact Pavilion.

Having learned from the lesson of the Pill Tower, Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi had already made up their minds not to explore the Secret Realm on their own anymore.

Before Zilan died, she had revealed to Wang Jianqiang that Xuan Che was in the Artifact Pavilion.

It was unknown whether they had left by now.

Wang Jianqiang sensed silently for a moment, then shook his head.

He did not sense the mark he had left on Xuan Che earlier.

Could they have already left?

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

With a wave of his hand, he brought Mu Lingxi into the three-story Pavilion ahead.

Walking into the first floor of the Pavilion, it was a wide hall.

In the center of the hall, a pitch-black spatial hole was suspended, and a stone stele about a zhang high was built outside the spatial hole.

Ten graduations were carved on the Stone Stele.

Just after Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi walked into the hall, Spirit Light suddenly lit up at the base of the Stone Stele.

The Spirit Light rose rapidly, passing over one graduation after another, and finally stopped at the ninth graduation.

Seeing this scene, the crowd gathered around the Stone Stele let out a cry of surprise in unison, "It's actually nine levels of Spirit Light."

"This should be the second-highest achievement since the Secret Realm opened, right?"

"The higher the Artifact Stele Spirit Light rises, the stronger the Magic Treasure obtained by the person entering the Treasure Realm. This Yang Yuntian is just a newly promoted Core Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, and he even became a Core Disciple by relying on the Dao of Alchemy; his cultivation is only at the Sixth-Order Will Stage. I didn't expect him to have such an opportunity."

"There's no helping it. To obtain a high-level Magic Treasure in the Treasure Realm, one doesn't rely on strength, but on the compatibility with the Magic Treasure and mostly luck. One can only say that this Yang Yuntian has good luck."

Just as the crowd was staring at the Stone Stele and talking incessantly.

A figure flashed out from the pitch-black spatial hole in mid-air.

Seeing this figure, dangerous light erupted in the eyes of many people.

Generally speaking, a treasure that can trigger five levels of Spirit Light is already considered a rare item.

Now, this person had actually obtained a treasure at the nine-level Spirit Light grade.

How could the crowd not have ideas?

If it weren't for the fact that there was a Restriction in this Artifact Pavilion and one could not make a move.

A chaotic battle would likely have already broken out in this floor of the Pavilion by now.

Sensing those many unkind gazes, Yang Yuntian frowned and cautiously descended to the gathering place of more than a dozen Beast Taming Sect Cultivators.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Yang."

"Junior Brother Yang has good luck."

The people of the Beast Taming Sect looked at Yang Yuntian, all revealing looks of envy.

Hindered by sect rules, the Beast Taming Sect Cultivators dared not openly attack their fellow disciples; Yang Yuntian was not too worried about these fellow disciples.

His gaze swept over the Cultivators of the other Three Great Factions calmly, and he secretly transmitted his voice to the surrounding fellow disciples, "Senior Brothers, please help me escape after leaving the Artifact Pavilion. After the matter is done, I, Yang, can customize twenty Fifth-grade Low-level Pills or one hundred Fourth-tier High-grade Pills for each of you."

Hearing Yang Yuntian's words, the eyes of the Beast Taming Sect Disciples all lit up.

"Junior Brother Yang, rest assured. We are all fellow disciples, and protecting fellow disciples is our responsibility. We will definitely do our best."

The crowd responded to Yang Yuntian one after another via voice transmission.

After receiving the replies from the crowd, Yang Yuntian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the number of Beast Taming Sect Cultivators present was not as many as the other Three Great Factions, they were not going to fight to the death with the Cultivators of the Three Great Factions.

If they just wanted to get away, the chance was still very high.

Just at this moment.

Yang Yuntian's gaze inadvertently swept over the entrance of the Artifact Pavilion.

He was suddenly stunned.

Two figures were standing there.

The two were a man and a woman.

Yang Yuntian recognized the woman; she was the Core Disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect, Zilan.

As for the man, Yang Yuntian was even more familiar with him.

Wang Daniu?

He had actually been captured by the Jade Cauldron Sect Cultivators!

He frowned, and after pondering for a moment, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi.

Frowning as he looked at Mu Lingxi, he said coldly, "Zilan, as a dignified Core Disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect, you are actually making things difficult for a servant. Are you not afraid of being ridiculed?"

Mu Lingxi was stunned.

Wang Jianqiang did not expect that Yang Yuntian, who was already in a dangerous situation himself, would actually dare to stand up for him.

He took a deep look at him and sent a voice transmission to Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, this is Yang Yuntian; he and I have some history."

"It seems the news of us robbing others in the Pill Tower hasn't spread here yet; you should continue to pose as Zilan and make sure not to slip up for now."

Mu Lingxi's heart stirred.

She had already learned everything about Wang Jianqiang's experiences, so she naturally knew how to respond.

She let out a cold snort and said in a cold, arrogant voice, "A piece of trash at the Sixth-Order Will Stage dares to bark in front of this lady?"

"Get lost while you still can; if not for the Restriction in this Artifact Pavilion, you would already be a corpse."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's arrogant tone, Wang Jianqiang grimaced inwardly and hurriedly sent a calm voice transmission, "Lingxi, tone it down; this is our friend, don't be so harsh."

"Harsh?"

Mu Lingxi's arrogant expression did not change in the slightest, but a secretly aggrieved voice reached Wang Jianqiang's mind, "Senior Brother, I was clearly already being very restrained."

Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat as he thought of Mu Lingxi's usual attitude when facing enemies.

He felt a wave of helplessness in his heart, "Fine, just play it by ear."
