31: Chapter 31 The Pill King Valley was wiped out

[You have arrived at Danwang Valley.]

[The Disciples receiving guests at the front had long known of your arrival and respectfully led you to the guest quarters.]

["Grandmaster Lin, would you like to go to the Pill Refining Room to collect Medicinal Pills first, or would you like to notify the Pill King first?" the young Disciple stood respectfully by your side.]

[There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, because every time you took the Pill King's Medicinal Pills, you would always distribute a few to the accompanying personnel.]

[Therefore, receiving you had already become recognized in Danwang Valley as a lucrative task.]

[You thought for a moment and decided to go to the Pill Refining Room first.]

[The Pill King's attendants were all shocked to see you and hurriedly said,]

["That Medicinal Pill thief is here again!" Although a young boy said this, he was already handing a bottle containing Medicinal Pills into your hands.]

[You took the Medicinal Pills, popped one into your mouth casually, and then took out a few more to give to the people around you.]

[They also respectfully accepted the Medicinal Pills and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Grandmaster Lin."]

["Little Lin." At this moment, an impatient voice came: "You've come to steal my Medicinal Pills again."]

[You turned around and saw that it was the Pill King.]

[At this moment, he was looking at you with an angry Face.]

[You, however, unhurriedly grabbed a few more Medicinal Pills and shoved them into your mouth.]

[Logically speaking, these Medicinal Pills could at least equal five years of bitter cultivation for a Grandmaster, but because you had eaten so many, you had developed antibodies, and now they were basically of no use to you.]

[At most, it was just for the taste.]

["Grandson, how can the matters of us Martial Artists be called stealing?" you said to the Pill King. Now that you were also Innate, and he was also Innate, you naturally wouldn't give him any Face.]

["Did your grandfather not teach you?" you looked at him and said: "Oh, I forgot, I indeed haven't taught you."]

["Blame it on me, your grandfather!" you looked at him and said.]

[Hearing this, the Pill King was so angry that his Face turned purple: "Lin Heng, you brat! Take this!"]

[You utilized your Internal Energy—no, it should be called Spiritual Qi now—leaped up, and flew into the sky: "Oh my god, I'm doomed, a grandson is hitting his grandfather!"]

[The Pill King knew he couldn't catch up to you, so he just cursed at you from below.]

[At first, he still cared that you were the Disciple of Master Wu Suanzi and had some respect for you, but since you called him grandson every single day, he had long been unable to hold it in.]

["Lin Heng, you brat, you..." the Pill King cursed loudly, looking up at you. It felt like he was about to pull out the beard on his chin.]

[You were not to be outdone: "Grandson! ..."]

[After all, the Pill King was an old man; how could he possibly compete with you?]

[In less than a moment, he was so angry that his Face turned red, and he couldn't even speak.]

["You, you, you..." the Pill King felt like he couldn't even catch his breath.]

[It was truly not easy for a Innate Grandmaster to be scolded by you to this extent.]

[You looked at him like a victor and then casually ate a few more Medicinal Pills: "Grandson, these Medicinal Pills you refined are too poor. Refine chocolate-flavored ones next time, did you hear me!"]

["What a waste of precious things." The Pill King watched you casually eat the Medicinal Pills with eyes full of heartache.]

[The Danwang Valley Disciples on the side were all secretly laughing, but they had long been accustomed to the verbal sparring between you and the Pill King. Moreover, you always distributed benefits to them every time you came.]

[And sometimes they would also steal Medicinal Pills.]

[Just like a chef would sneak a taste, Alchemists were no exception, and now all these stolen Medicinal Pills were counted on your head.]

[For them, this was naturally a good thing.]

[You snorted coldly and ignored the Pill King.]

[You went to the place where the Iron Hand Sect was staying.]

[The Iron Hand Sect was no longer what it used to be. The other three third-rate Sects in Fei City had basically merged with the Iron Hand Sect, and that second-rate Sect, the Wuquan Sect, also had thoughts of joining the Iron Hand Sect after learning the news of your Breakthrough to Grandmaster.]

[Moreover, a year ago, the Iron Hand Sect Leader had a Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Transcendent Realm, and many Transcendent experts were willing to join.]

[The Iron Hand Sect could now be said to be a second-rate Sect in name and reality.]

[Of course, you were not counted as being inside; generally, Honorary Elders like you could not be considered as having joined a specific Sect.]

[In fact, you were not only an Honorary Elder of the Iron Hand Sect, but also an Honorary Elder of Danwang Valley and the Liehuo Sect.]

[Otherwise, the Iron Hand Sect could be directly counted as a first-rate Sect.]

["Elder Lin."]

[The one leading the team this time was still Great Elder Liu Jinsong. After you had a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, he insisted on respectfully calling you Grandmaster Lin, but you didn't agree, so in the end, they compromised and called you Elder Lin.]

["The Iron Hand Sect is doing quite well now." You looked at the room, which was much better than when you came last time.]

[Danwang Valley also judges people by their status, you thought.]

["It's all thanks to Elder Lin." Great Elder Liu Jinsong said to you respectfully.]

[He was now very glad that he had recognized you as a true Dragon back then.]

[The Pill King Competition was held soon after.]

[You did not participate; you directly forfeited.]

[Because you did not see Mu Xue.]

[If following the timeline of Lin Three, Mu Xue should not have had a Breakthrough to Innate at this time; she should have come to participate in the Pill King Competition with the cultivation of the Peak of the Transcendent Realm.]

[However, you did not see her on the Dragon Group's side.]

[You went to the Dragon Group to inquire.]

[In this simulation, the Dragon Group was not very familiar with you, but they knew of your prestige as a young Grandmaster.]

["Mu Xue? She should have had a Breakthrough to Innate two years ago, and then we don't know anything else." The Dragon Group leader respectfully answered your question: "May I ask what business Grandmaster Lin has with Mu Xue?"]

["Two years ago?" You shook your head: "Nothing."]

[It seems that because of you, the timeline has changed.]

[Moreover, you saw that Zhang Hao of the Dragon Group was also still at the cultivation of the Peak of the Dark Realm this time.]

[In the time with Lin Three, he should have already been in the Transcendent Realm by this time, just like Chen Tianxiao.]

["Is it because of me?" you muttered to yourself.]

[You felt a bit lost, not knowing if it was because you couldn't show off in front of Mu Xue, or because Mu Xue might have already been subjected to Possession by some Zhou Family Empress.]

[However, it had nothing to do with you anymore.]

[Lin Heng looked at the content on the simulator and stroked his chin: "It means that if it weren't for my appearance, Mu Xue could have actually had a Breakthrough to Innate long ago."]

[The third simulation was probably because of the appearance of Lin Three that Mu Xue could never have a Breakthrough, and Lin Three's attitude towards Mu Xue was also very strange.]

[I don't understand. Could it be that her body was coveted? Lin Heng couldn't help but think this.]

[The time that followed was somewhat dull.]

[You felt that life was almost without any goals.]

[You thought again about the event where the sky of Fei City was torn apart at age fifty.]

[That must have been at least an expert of the God Realm, or perhaps an Extra-territorial Heavenly Demon.]

[Time, like flowing water, just passed by as it flowed.]

[This year you are forty-four years old, at the Peak of the Innate Realm.]

[You are already a big shot in the martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom who has a say.]

[Everyone in the entire martial arts world must respectfully call you Grandmaster Lin when they see you.]

[Anyway, you believe that as long as no Martial Saint appears, you are invincible in the Innate Realm.]

[You feel that you are just that powerful now.]

[Chen Tianxiao is still at the Peak of the Transcendent Realm, still one step away from a Breakthrough to Innate, but it is unknown how long that step will take him.]

[You often stay at the Liehuo Sect now, waiting for your Master to wake up.]

[The leadership of the Liehuo Sect has also changed. For example, the Grand Elder has already had a Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm and has gone to the Saint Realm.]

[Some Martial Artists at the Peak of the Innate Realm will also go to the Saint Realm to seek the Opportunity for a Breakthrough, or want to leave something behind at the end.]

[You didn't go. You are still young, and you think you should at least wait until you have a Breakthrough to Martial Saint before going to such a place; that's what you think anyway.]

[Another year passed, you are forty-five years old, and Chen Tianxiao has a Breakthrough to Innate.]

[At the same time, this year you received a shocking piece of news: Danwang Valley has been exterminated.]
