458: Emperor's Pill moves abnormally

It was a dark area, yet filled with an ancient aura.

Suddenly, two beams of light shone, and a man and a woman emerged from them.

"What happened to the Cultivation Alliance while I was gone?"

Lin Xiu noticed that Zi Yan had been a bit down and clearly in a bad mood all along the way.

"Nothing."

Zi Yan pulled her hand free from Lin Xiu's palm.

Looking at Zi Yan's back, Lin Xiu ruffled his hair and quickly caught up to her.

"Who upset you? Tell me, and I'll go settle the score with him."

Lin Xiu had a smile on his face.

Zi Yan stopped, glanced at him, "How will you settle the score with him?"

"Of course, I'll teach him a harsh lesson, roast him with all my different flames, what do you think? If you're still not satisfied, I'll crush his bones inch by inch, then heal him, and continue crushing them."

Lin Xiu made a twisting motion with his hands, a fierce expression on his face.

"Alright, you said it!"

Zi Yan pointed at him, "That person is far away in the sky but right before your eyes. Make your move."

Lin Xiu was startled, "Me? No, I haven't been in the Cultivation Alliance this whole time, how could I have upset you?"

"Figure it out yourself. If you can't, don't talk to me."

Zi Yan huffily pushed Lin Xiu away and continued walking towards the bright light in the distance.

That hateful guy, he completely disregarded his promise to her!

Behind the barrier.

Having sensed Zi Yan's Qi early, Zhu Kun had a smile on his face, eagerly awaiting her.

When he saw Zi Yan walking ahead alone, angry, and Lin Xiu trailing behind, the smile on his face vanished, gradually replaced by a serious expression.

"Senior Zhu Kun."

Lin Xiu greeted him.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Did you make my good daughter angry?"

Zhu Kun pressed his face against the barrier.

Lin Xiu glanced at Zi Yan, a helpless look on his face, "I don't know, Senior. I went to the Yao Clan a while ago and only returned today."

"Good daughter, tell Dad, how did he bully you? When Dad gets out of here, I'll at least beat half his life out of him!"

Zhu Kun asked Zi Yan.

Lin Xiu's eyes showed curiosity.

He also wanted to know why Zi Yan was angry for no reason. Could Medusa have secretly said something?

Medusa had been gesturing to him earlier.

But at that time, Lin Xiu was focused on showing off the Medicinal Pill he had refined to the father and daughter, and didn't think too much about it.

"I'm not angry."

Zi Yan's mouth was pouting high, practically writing "angry" on her face.

"You!!!"

Zhu Kun glared fiercely at Lin Xiu through the barrier.

"I really don't know."

Lin Xiu had a headache.

Zhu Kun snorted, "Let's put that aside for now. Why didn't you tell my daughter the location here when you left last time? I didn't think of it before, but after you left, I realized Zi Yan could have come here to see me whenever she had nothing to do."

"I..."

Lin Xiu primarily didn't want the Immortal Cave's location to be exposed too early. It would take time for the Soul Clan to get the ancient jade and find the approximate location.

He could use this time difference to prepare for battle.

"Who wants to come see you when they have nothing to do?"

Before Lin Xiu could explain, Zi Yan interrupted first.

Zhu Kun quickly said, "Daughter, Dad said it wrong. It's mainly because Dad hasn't seen you for too long and wants to see you more."

Zi Yan didn't speak.

Anyway, until Lin Xiu realized his mistake, she wouldn't talk to him.

Not even knowing where he went wrong clearly meant he didn't value her!

Zhu Kun gnashed his teeth and said, "You brat, don't tell me you specifically brought me here today to see Zi Yan angry because of you. If that's truly the case, Tuo She's name on my death list might have to be moved back a bit to make room for you first."

Having been inexplicably imprisoned for thousands of years, the depth of that hatred was simply unimaginable.

Lin Xiu felt he wasn't fortunate enough to enjoy that.

"Senior, don't worry. I came this time because the Dragon Phoenix Protection Pill has been refined. I specifically brought it to show you, so you know my attitude towards Zi Yan."

With a flash of light in his palm, Lin Xiu held a jade bottle and poured the Medicinal Pill out of it.

The Medicinal Pill was naturally formed, flawless, and exuded a rich medicinal fragrance.

Even Zi Yan couldn't help but be drawn in by the Medicinal Pill's scent.

Just the smell alone was better than all the Medicinal Pills she had eaten before.

Zhu Kun's eyes widened as he stared at the Medicinal Pill.

Why did it feel somewhat different from the Dragon Phoenix Protection Pill in his memory?

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

All three of them were startled.

"Where did that sound come from?"

Zhu Kun's gaze swept around.

The sound echoed again!

This time, all three noticed the source, and their gazes simultaneously turned towards the massive gate.

Boom!

The gate vibrated, shaking off a large amount of dust, accompanied by the sound.

"There are still living things inside the Immortal Cave?"

Zhu Kun was dumbfounded.

Such a scene had never occurred during all the time he had been imprisoned.

From the looks of it, it seemed something inside was attracted and was eager to break out.

What caused it?

A thought flashed, and Zhu Kun's gaze shifted, then landed on the Medicinal Pill in Lin Xiu's palm.

Lin Xiu stared at the giant gate, "Besides the different flames, the only thing that can move in the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode is a half-finished emperor pill. Could it be it?"

"How do you know so much about the inside of the Immortal Cave?"

Zi Yan asked.

Behind the barrier, Zhu Kun's eyes also showed confusion. Had Lin Xiu been inside before? But he was right outside, why didn't he know?

"No, I read it in a book."

Lin Xiu replied.

What kind of book could contain this information?

Zhu Kun was astonished. This kid's luck was Heaven-Defying; even in his era, there were no books on this topic.

"If it's an emperor pill, why didn't it react before, and why is there such a huge commotion specifically when you took out this Medicinal Pill?"

Calming himself, Zhu Kun asked.

Lin Xiu, with a hint of uncertainty, replied truthfully, "Perhaps it's because it's also an emperor pill..."

"What?! The Dragon Phoenix Protection Pill I gave you wasn't a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill Pill Formula? What the hell is an emperor pill?"

Zhu Kun's eyes widened.

"The Pill Formula was indeed for a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill."

Lin Xiu nodded, "But at that time, I was participating in the Medicine Ceremony in the Yao Clan. Winning first place would grant me the Pill Formula for an Emperor Pill. So I upgraded it a bit. Who knew Yao Dan would also refine a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill? Realizing it would be a tie, I definitely wasn't willing, so I added a bit of Source Energy into it, and then I got this. It's not a complete emperor pill, only a half-finished one."

Zhu Kun and Zi Yan were stunned after hearing this. They exchanged glances, unsure how to describe their inner emotions.

The giant gate continued to make noise, but there were no signs of it opening.

It was enveloped in a faint glow, tens of thousands of times harder than any metal or stone.

"That emperor pill must have sensed this aura and wants to devour it to become a complete emperor pill."

Lin Xiu speculated that according to the book's description of the emperor pill, its intelligence was not low.

"No, this is for my child. How can it eat it?"

Zi Yan snatched it and directly popped it into her mouth.

The Medicinal Pill dissolved upon entry, turning into a warm current that flowed down her throat and into her body.

"Girl, that's an Emperor Pill!"

Zhu Kun immediately panicked. Wouldn't she be overwhelmed by the immense energy inside? Why was she so reckless?

Lin Xiu looked at Zi Yan, then smiled at Zhu Kun, "It's fine. The core of the Medicinal Pill is still the structure of the Dragon Phoenix Protection Pill, so the energy won't erupt immediately. Instead, it will slowly nourish the mother and child."

Zhu Kun exhaled upon hearing this.

At this moment, the commotion from the Immortal Cave's giant gate subsided, seemingly confirming Lin Xiu's earlier speculation.

"Senior Zhu Kun, now you can agree to what I asked for earlier, right?"

Lin Xiu brought up the main topic.

"I am a man of my word, rest assured. When that day comes, I will appear at the opportune moment."

Zhu Kun hadn't even given his wife an Emperor Pill to nourish her during pregnancy. With Lin Xiu's actions, how could he find any fault?

"With Senior's words, I am at ease."

Lin Xiu's smile became even brighter.
