Chapter 296: Secret Killing Intent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dong Xiaoqin was alarmed as she looked at the Pure Jade Bottle in Ye Qiubai’s hand. “Pills?” She asked.
Ye Qiubai nodded and affirmed her suspicion, “Pills.”
“This should be enough to exchange for 14 million origin crystals.”
Dong Xiaoqin and Jian Liancheng looked at each other.
Both of them saw a trace of seriousness in each other’s eyes.
What kind of pill could be worth 14 million origin crystals?
Of course, Dong Xiaoqin didn’t think that someone like Ye Qiubai would bluff.
He was naturally confident that it was even better than the four medicinal pills just now!
Dong Xiaoqin took it with a serious expression.
There was only one pill in the Pure Jade Bottle.
It was red with three ancient golden patterns engraved on it.
It flickered with a weak golden light.
This pill was also refined by Lu Changsheng and was called the Red Dragon Vajra Pill.
After consuming it, not only would invisible dragon scales appear on the surface of the body, these dragon scales could resist the full-strength attack of an expert.
As for how strong he was?
Even Lu Changsheng himself didn’t know.
However, the aura contained in it made Jian Liancheng frown slightly.
After Ye Qiubai explained this effect, Dong Xiaoqin’s expression was also serious. She looked at Jian Liancheng and asked, “Uncle Jian, can you break it?”
Jian Liancheng shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that we won’t be able to break through the defense even if we go all out.”
It could withstand an all-out attack from a Dao Convergence Realm expert!
In that case, it could also mean that the value of this medicinal pill was not lower than the previous four medicinal pills!
Still…
Dong Xiaoqin shook her head slightly and said, “This might not be enough.”
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious. I’m not done yet.”
There are other effects?
Under Dong Xiaoqin’s slightly stunned gaze,
Ye Qiubai continued, “After covering the dragon scale, the dragon aura contained in it will subtly change the strength of the user’s body.”
“At the same time, it can further temper the user’s muscles and bones!”
Therefore…
Not only could the pill save the user’s life, by withstanding an attack from a Dao Convergence Realm expert, it could also temper a martial cultivator’s body and bones!
Jian Liancheng asked with a serious expression, “It can be strengthened no matter what realm it is?”
Ye Qiubai smiled and nodded. “In theory, yes.”
These were his master’s words but he had never tried it before.
Previously, he had already consumed a medicinal pill that was better than this to temper his physique and body.
Lu Changsheng had refined this pill just to save Ye Qiubai’s life.
Ye Qiubai still had two in his storage ring.
Jian Liancheng could not help but gasp.
If that was the case, the Sacred Hidden Chamber of Commerce was probably the one who took advantage of the 14 million origin crystals!
One had to know that his muscles and bones were already very difficult to change and strengthen.
If he strengthened his muscles and bones on this foundation, it would be easier for him to break through in the future.
If the spiritual qi in his body was compared to water, his physical body, bones, and tendons were the bottles that contained water.
If the bottle was not big enough, inclusive, or hard enough, how could it contain more spiritual qi?
Ye Qiubai looked at their expressions and smiled. “Why? Is this still not enough?”
Dong Xiaoqin nodded and said, “Enough. However, are you sure you don’t want to keep this pill for yourselves?”
Ye Qiubai and the other two looked at each other and smiled.
Their physical bodies and bones could be said to have reached an extreme.
There was no need to take this pill anymore.
Seeing this, Dong Xiaoqin nodded and accepted the Pure Jade Bottle before storing it into her storage ring.
Ye Qiubai was also prepared to bid farewell. “In that case, we’ll take our leave first.”
Dong Xiaoqin smiled and sent the three of them to the door. “If you need anything in the future, you can look for me.”
“Of course, after this matter, 1 will also leave Dragon Enlightenment City.”
“If you’re looking for me, you can come to Boundless Imperial City directly. You can also send me a message through the Sacred Hidden Chamber of Commerce’s encampment.”
Ye Qiubai nodded.
The three of them left.
Looking at the backs of Ye Qiubai and the other two, Dong Xiaoqin said, “Uncle Jian, who do you think is behind them?”
There were probably only a few people in the entire Low Latitude Realm who could refine such a pill.
Jian Liancheng shook his head and said, “This pill is unheard of and has never been seen before.”
Dong Xiaoqin had never seen it before, so she could only sigh and say, “Forget it. I’ll maintain my relationship with them first. One day, I’ll be able to see the person behind them.”
“But Uncle Jian, I’ll have to trouble you to protect the three of them for a while.”
Jian Liancheng nodded slightly, not surprised by this.
With a flash, he disappeared from the spot!
Dong Xiaoqin looked up at the sky and muttered softly, “We can’t let them die… Otherwise, the Sacred Hidden Chamber of Commerce’s investment will fail…”
The streets of the Dragon Enlightenment City were much more prosperous than Rising Clouds City.
This could be seen from the cultivation realms of these loose cultivators, which was a level higher than Rising Clouds City.
On the way, Shi Sheng asked in confusion, “Big Senior Brother, from the looks of it, that elixir is clearly worth more than 14 million origin crystals, right?” Blackie also looked at Ye Qiubai with a puzzled expression.
Ye Qiubai chuckled. His eyes were deep as he said, “Of course 1 know. However, that medicinal pill is not only used to repay the debt, but also to show them our strength.”
That was the only way that the Sacred Hidden Chamber of Commerce would value them more.
In this way, more convenience could be provided.
Not to mention…
Ye Qiubai swept his gaze around and said, “Did you notice that ever since we left the Sacred Hidden Chamber of Commerce’s encampment, a few cultivators targeting us have been following us?”
Blackie nodded.
He also noticed a few traces of killing intent, but he did not expose them.
During the day, Shi Sheng’s star power could not be unleashed to the extreme.
However, he also discovered those faint auras under Ye Qiubai’s reminder.
Ye Qiubai continued, “Then, the pill I gave is also meaningful…”
The three of them left Dragon Enlightenment City, preparing to return to Rising Clouds City and hand over the mission.
That were the rules of the Mercenary Guild
This was Rising Clouds City’s Mercenary Guild’s “performance”.
When the three of them left Rising Clouds City, while walking in the Boundary Mountain, the surroundings were already desolate.
Night was slowly falling…
The stars that filled the sky hung in the dark sky, dotted with starlight.
At this moment, Shi Sheng’s face darkened. “Senior Brother, it seems like they can’t hold it in anymore.”
Ye Qiubai also smiled and said, “You really know how to choose a spot.”
He looked around. There were only two escape routes.
However, Ye Qiubai didn’t plan to escape blindly…
