331: News of the Imperial Realm's Pill Nourishing Pool

"Junior Brother Gu, go up and collect the Medicinal Pills. Remember to grab the pill nurturing pool as well."

By the pill nurturing pool, Night Owl instructed Gu Chen.

He was only interested in killing; he had little interest in plundering treasures like this. Since Gu Chen liked it, he let Gu Chen plunder alone, which would make distribution easier when they left.

"Alright, plundering treasures is what I like most." Hearing Night Owl, Gu Chen excitedly threw a Spiritual Qi punch towards the pill nurturing pool, preparing to grab the pill nurturing pool after the Medicinal Pills flew out, to avoid damaging the Medicinal Pills inside.

"Bang!"

As Gu Chen's Spiritual Qi fist struck the Seal Restriction covering the pill nurturing pool, the entire Seal Restriction instantly shattered. Tens of millions of colorful Saint Realm Medicinal Pills quickly floated above the pill nurturing pool, awaiting collection by the fated person.

"Haha, they are all Saint Realm Medicinal Pills! The fortune we made this time is even greater than last time!!" Seeing that all tens of millions of them were Saint Realm Medicinal Pills, Gu Chen couldn't stop smiling.

You must know that although Saint Realm Medicinal Pills and Venerate Realm Medicinal Pills are only separated by one word, their prices are vastly different.

One Saint Realm Medicinal Pill is worth at least dozens of Heavenly Venerate Realm Medicinal Pills. These tens of millions of Saint Realm Medicinal Pills are worth far more than the hundreds of millions of Venerate Realm Medicinal Pills they previously obtained.

"Giggle! Senior Brother Gu, can you please not be so excited? Hurry up and put away the Medicinal Pills!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Gu, quickly put away the Medicinal Pills so we can hurry to other places and find more Medicinal Pills."

Seeing Gu Chen's mouth wide open in delight—wider than his own fist—as he stared at the tens of millions of Saint Realm Medicinal Pills, Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er quickly reminded him with a smile.

Although everyone was in a good mood seeing these tens of millions of Medicinal Pills, they couldn't just focus on being happy and neglect collecting them.

"Uh, Junior Sister Mu and Junior Sister Qin are right to remind me. I'll put the Medicinal Pills away now." Hearing the voices of Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er, Gu Chen reacted and prepared to use a Giant Spiritual Qi Claw to grab the entire pill nurturing pool and store it along with the Medicinal Pills in his storage space.

"Junior Brother Gu, wait a moment." Seeing Gu Chen about to grab the pill nurturing pool, Night Owl stopped him, then turned with a smile to Sand Sable, who was at the back of the group, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, are there any Medicinal Pills here that you need? If so, take them quickly."

He was asking this according to custom. After all, he and Sand Sable were partners. Regardless of whether they needed them or not, he still had to politely ask before collecting the Medicinal Pills.

Looking at Night Owl's polite expression.

Sand Sable waved his hand with a bitter expression, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ye, please take the Medicinal Pills. Our Revered Master needs an Imperial Level detoxification pill. Feel free to take any Medicinal Pills below the Imperial Level; don't ask me anymore."

After Sand Sable finished speaking, he reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the tens of millions of Saint Realm Medicinal Pills.

His heart was bitter now. If he had known earlier that following Night Owl and the others would yield such massive profits, he definitely wouldn't have made the promise to only take the detoxification pill.

Because based on the quantity of Medicinal Pills in these two Pill Nurturing Halls, even if his siblings only took one percent, it would still be a huge fortune.

"Haha, good. Since there are no Medicinal Pills that Brother Sand Sable needs, we will take them all." Hearing Sand Sable say there were no Medicinal Pills he needed, Night Owl replied with a smile, then told Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, start collecting."

"Got it!" Hearing this, Gu Chen no longer delayed. He immediately conjured a Giant Spiritual Qi Claw, pulled out the pill nurturing pool from the center of the great hall, and stored it along with the thousands of Saint Realm Medicinal Pills into his storage space.

"Let's go, Senior Brother Ye. Let's hurry to other places and see if there are any more Pill Nurturing Halls?" After putting away the items, Gu Chen happily said to Night Owl.

"Mhm." Night Owl nodded, scanned the crowd, and said, "Then let's hurry out and see if there are any more Pill Nurturing Halls."

"Understood, Senior Brother Ye!"

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Ye!"

Mu Xueqing and the others, along with The Sha Diao siblings, agreed and walked out of the Pill Nurturing Hall with Night Owl.

However, just as the group walked out of the hall entrance, they heard ear-splitting roars coming from nearby.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!"

These roars carried feelings of savage rage, causing Chu Feng and the others, excluding Night Owl, Gu Chen, and Mu Xueqing, to look startled and terrified.

As these roars continued, Cultivators searching for treasure rapidly flew overhead, seeming as if they had encountered something terrifying.

"Hiss, Senior Brother Ye, what exactly is going on? It looks like something is chasing them!"

"That's right, could it be the things making those roaring sounds that are chasing them?"

Looking at the Cultivators flying overhead, Chu Feng and Shi Xiyao asked nervously.

Although these roars did not carry sonic attacks, those who heard them clearly felt discomfort.

Previously, facing the roars of Quasi-Emperor Level Corpses, they were completely fine.

For these roars to reach such power, they might have been emitted by Half-step Great Emperor, or even Great Emperor Level Corpses.

Facing the questions from Chu Feng and Shi Xiyao, Night Owl smiled and said, "Junior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Shi, if you want to know what's going on, why not go up and ask one of them?"

After Night Owl finished speaking, he flashed into the air and immediately blocked a panicked Eighth Level Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man who was flying toward the exit, asking with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, what exactly happened? Where are you going?"

Night Owl asked, sweeping his Divine Sense around, but saw nothing chasing the Eighth Level Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man. He didn't understand why the man was flying towards the exit in such a panic.

Seeing Night Owl blocking him, the Middle-aged Man angrily shouted, "Get out of my way! Can't you see I'm running for my life?"

After the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man finished speaking, he tried to fly past Night Owl with a sideways movement.

But before he could rush past, Night Owl's large hand grabbed his neck and lifted him up like a little chick.

"You haven't answered my question yet, so you can't just leave," Night Owl said with a smile, staring at the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man in his hand.

"You, how could you subdue me so easily?" Looking at Night Owl, who was right in front of him, the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man was filled with horror.

He was an Eighth Level Quasi-Emperor! For Night Owl, a First Level Quasi-Emperor, to grab his neck before he could even react—this was simply unbelievable.

"Heh, because my strength is greater than yours," Night Owl replied, and then said again, "Now, you should be able to answer my question, right?"

Hearing Night Owl's words, the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man was speechless.

Although he had a million questions in his heart, his life was in Night Owl's hands, so he dared not speak unnecessary nonsense and could only answer Night Owl's question first.

The Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man composed himself and replied with a forced smile, "Yes, yes. Fellow Daoist, it's like this: just now, a few hundred of us entered a great hall that had a pill nurturing pool, and we accidentally encountered four powerful corpses."

"Those corpses possessed Imperial Might, instantly killing Peak Quasi-Emperors with a single move. They killed most of our people quickly. Although we managed to use a Temporary Formation to Seal those corpses in the great hall, they will break out soon. Fellow Daoist, please let me go quickly!"

After the Middle-aged Man finished speaking, he glanced fearfully at a luxurious great hall at the end of the mountain range and pleaded with Night Owl, his voice choked with sobs.

"Oh, a pill nurturing pool?"

Hearing the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man say that he had entered a great hall containing a pill nurturing pool guarded by Corpses Radiating Imperial Might.

Night Owl's face showed interest, and he immediately pressed, "Where is that great hall located? Tell me quickly!"

He knew that for this pill nurturing pool to be guarded by corpses possessing Imperial Might, it certainly wasn't a low-grade pill nurturing pool; it might very well be an Emperor Realm pill nurturing pool.

Although his interest lay more in killing, he couldn't miss such an Advanced pill nurturing pool appearing.

"Fellow Daoist, time is running out! Don't ask about that pill nurturing pool. Let's run quickly! If those corpses get out, we'll all die!"

Seeing that Night Owl was asking for the location of the pill nurturing pool instead of thinking about escaping, the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man grew anxious.

"Just tell me which great hall contains that pill nurturing pool, and I will release you immediately. Otherwise, you'll be fed to the corpses," Night Owl said coldly.

He had just used his Divine Sense to scan the nearby palaces, and besides one empty Pill Nurturing Hall, he hadn't found any others.

Therefore, he had to clearly inquire from this Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man about the exact location of the great hall containing the pill nurturing pool guarded by Corpses Radiating Imperial Might.

"You..." Seeing that Night Owl was determined to know where the great hall was, the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man pointed toward the end of the mountain range and said, "Keep flying toward the end of the mountain range. There is a luxurious great hall called the Imperial Palace there. The pill nurturing pool is inside that great hall. If you want to go, go yourself. Please let me leave quickly!"

"Heh, so it's called the Imperial Palace." Hearing the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man name the great hall containing the pill nurturing pool, Night Owl smiled and released the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man's neck, saying, "You may leave."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, thank you, Fellow Daoist!" Feeling Night Owl release him, the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man thanked Night Owl twice, hurriedly raised his cultivation base, and sped toward the exit, terrified that slowing down even slightly would put his life at risk.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, you all heard that, right? Hurry up and come up to find that pill nurturing pool with me!" As soon as the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man left, Night Owl said to Gu Chen and the others below.

His conversation with the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man was completely unconcealed, so Gu Chen and the others below could hear it, meaning he didn't need to go down and repeat it.

"Haha, Senior Brother Ye, we're coming."

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this pill nurturing pool must be an Emperor Realm pill nurturing pool. We must proceed cautiously."

Gu Chen and the others, along with The Sha Diao siblings, heard this and flew to Night Owl's side without hesitation.

However, while Gu Chen and the others were happy, The Sha Diao siblings were half-joyful and half-worried.

Their joy stemmed from the fact that this pill nurturing pool was guarded by corpses radiating Imperial Might, meaning it was very likely an Emperor Realm pill nurturing pool. If they could open it, their Revered Master would be saved.

Their worry was that with these corpses present, whether they could even enter the Pill Nurturing Hall was an unknown factor.

After all, these corpses radiated Imperial Might, meaning they might have been Great Emperor Experts in life.

Facing corpses transformed from Great Emperor Experts, Night Owl and the others might not be their match. They couldn't directly start a fight with the corpses like before; they needed to find a way to avoid direct conflict.

"Heh, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, let's talk about caution once we get there." Night Owl replied, then flew toward the direction the Quasi-Emperor Middle-aged Man had pointed.

"Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, let's quickly follow Senior Brother Ye." Seeing this, Gu Chen called out to Sand Sable and his sister, then quickly followed Night Owl along with Mu Xueqing and the others.

"Brother, let's hurry! We finally have news of an Emperor Realm pill nurturing pool. We absolutely cannot mess up at this critical moment, or Revered Master won't be saved." Sha Xiaomeng said a few words to Sand Sable, then dragged him quickly to follow behind Night Owl and the others.
