Chapter 1085: Settling the Enmity in Another Battleground

The result of the pill cultivation contest was within the expectations of a few, but beyond the expectations of the majority.

The Gu Family handed over one opening of the Barren Spirit Spring to the Celestial Sect of Wonders just like that. As Lin Feng obtained it, he had something in mind after analyzing it for a while, “It can increase the medicinal quality of a pill in the future, but the higher the level of a pill, the smaller the increase in its effects. But even so, it’s still very useful.”

It’s still that old saying. The higher the level, the smaller the improvement. To improve just a fraction above the limit was already very good.

As for the Four Great Spiritual Pills of the Great Void Sect, the Qing Ning Holy Man and Yan Nanlai would not carry them around so casually. However, they would not renege on their promises. In the future, they would deliver it straight to the Celestial Sect of Wonders from Mount Baiyun.

For those with lower cultivations, this was not a task that was convenient for them to carry out. Lin Daohan had to carry out this responsibility personally.

Lin Daohan did not join the pill cultivation contest as a bystander. After he received instructions from Yan Nanlai, he remained calm as usual. With regards to this menial job, he wasn’t resistant to it and did not think it was a humiliating job for him to do.

But he was still a little shocked that the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai had both lost to Xiao Yan. However, he managed to regain his calmness soon after.

Lin Feng went to converse with Yan Nanlai and Gu Jun, whereas Xiao Zhener sent Lin Daohan out of the Ancient Longevity World. Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi also followed along.

“Thanks for sending me out here.” Lin Daohan came to the passageway of the Ancient Longevity World and bade goodbye.

Xiao Zhener bade him goodbye too, “Take care, Comrade Lin.”

Zhu Yi looked at Lin Daohan and said, “It’s a really intense competition just now. It’s a pity that Comrade Dao was unable to witness it.”

Lin Daohan nodded his head, “I am also very regretful too.”

Zhu Yi’s words changed suddenly, “I am also very excited to exchange pointers with you in a literary event.”

As Lin Daohan heard him, he remained undisturbed and looked at Zhu Yi. After the both of them stared at each other for quite some time, he shook his head slightly, “There’s no such need. Comrade Zhu, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

“Oh?” Zhu Yi’s expression changed, “You disrupted my examination with ill-intentions. After that, you left no explanation. You come and go as you please. Do you think I’m that easy to be bullied?”

Lin Daohan replied gently, “I was only curious then. During then, I just wanted to do an experiment, but I made a fool out of myself in front of you. Thinking about it, it was really embarrassing.”

Zhu Yi stared at Lin Daohan before laughing, “Lin Daohan, you are not simple.”

Lin Daohan was calm as he looked at Zhu Yi. With regards to Zhu Yi’s style, he had some understanding. Zhu Yi was a reasonable person and would admit when he did something wrong. But his reasoning also did not spare anyone.

It was impossible to persuade Zhu Yi to let the matter rest just with a few words. Only by appealing to his logic would he be persuaded and the matter could rest then.

Understanding logic was how Zhu Yi worked. If there’s a gratitude, he had to repay it. If there’s a vengeance, he had to avenge it.

Zhu Yi looked at Lin Daohan and said logically, “Do you think I want to make a move on you? No, although I do have an interest in sparring you, it’s just an interest in the area of cultivation. It has nothing to do with our enmity.”

“Our enmity can only be settled at another battleground.”

As Zhu Yi said, he smiled. “Comrade Dao, I wish you a safe journey as you return to Mount Baiyun this time. The day we settle this enmity of ours is coming soon.”

Lin Daohan’s gaze moved a little. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head, “I am excited now too. I shall leave now. Goodbye, comrades.”

As he finished saying, Lin Daohan returned to the Greater World through the passageway.

Xiao Zhener was curious as she watched this scene. As Xiao Yan saw this, he explained, “When Second Junior was in the Aurous Core Stage and went to the Great Zhou to take part in the scholarly examination, his final essay was brilliant and was applauded by a hundred sages. I believe you should know about this.”

Xiao Zhener nodded her head and Xiao Yan continued saying, “In fact, someone tried to disrupt Second Junior. That person seemed like a scholar too, but he was eventually stopped by Second Junior.”

“That person is Comrade Lin?” Xiao Zhener was a little surprised. Xiao Yan nodded his head, “More accurately speaking, it was his avatar. Beneath a disguise, he took part in the examination too. After realizing that things went south, he quickly retreated and concealed his tracks so that no one could track him down.”

Xiao Zhener asked, “Then how did all of you find out that it was him?”

Xiao Yan laughed and answered, “This has to do with something else.” He went closer to Xiao Zhener’s ear and said a few words. Xiao Zhener was enlightened all of a sudden, “So this is the case. No wonder Father and the rest had their suspicions too. But I never thought that it was Comrade Lin.”

Zhu Yi nodded his head, “Lin Daohan is indeed not simple. What’s even more attention-seeking about him is that his will is rather determined. He has many operating styles too and does not follow the rules. He’s a tough one.”

Xiao Yan laughed, “Okay, we should get back. Let’s wait for him to deliver the 12 spiritual pills over.”

Talking about the 12 spiritual pills, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi looked at each other. Their gazes turned weird and they shook their heads in laughter.

As they returned to where they stayed, Lin Feng, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and the rest were already back. Lin Feng sat in his own quiet chamber, while Yang Qing and Li Yuanfang were also there meditating.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Xiao Zhener greeted Lin Feng as they entered the quiet chamber. Yang Qing and Li Yuanfang also greeted them when they entered.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and smiled, “Oh, all of you are back?”

“Yes, Master. Lin Daohan has left the Ancient Longevity World and returned to Mount Baiyun to retrieve the pills.” Xiao Yan and the others sat cross-legged in front of Lin Feng, while Li Yuanfang and Yang Qing sat beside them.

Lin Feng shook his head in laughter, “Although they bled this time, their attention won’t be here anymore.”

…

In the temporary residence of the Great Void Sect, Yan Nanlai looked at the Qing Ning Holy Man and was moved, “Are you talking about the pill formula of the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill?”

Wu Mengqi stared at the Qing Ning Holy Man and the Qing Ning Holy Man nodded his head seriously, “I spoke with the Ling Jue Holy Man previously. He seemed to hint at something like this.”

“Firstly, it’s the incomplete version of the Life Substitution Heavenly Pill and now it’s the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill. How can the Gu Family possess two outstanding pill formulas of the Great Void Sect? Don’t tell me…” Wu Mengqi took in a deep breath, “Don’t tell me that they have the whereabouts of the Heavenly Born Daoist, or has the Heavenly Born Daoist always been hiding in the Ancient Longevity World?!”

The Heavenly Born Daoist was the one who destroyed the pill pavilion of the Great Void Sect and stole many of the pill formulas of the Great Void Sect away.

He was always known as the Heavenly Born Holy Man, but after his betrayal, his status as a holy man was removed by the Great Void Sect. Thus, when a Great Void Sect cultivator mentioned him, he was always known as the Heavenly Born Daoist.

Yan Nanlai shook his head slightly, “It’s not too possible for him to hide in the Ancient Longevity World. It can’t be that he didn’t reveal himself for so many years if he did that. He would have been discovered by us. If others hid here, it’s not easy to tell. But the Heavenly Born Daoist can’t escape the Supreme Heavenly Mirror if he hid here.”

“But the Gu Family may not where he is, but this may not be the case too. Maybe they found somewhere that he had once been in before, thus they got some findings.”

The Qing Ning Holy Man and Wu Mengqi nodded their heads. They did find a similar hiding spot of the Heavenly Born Daoist before, but he wasn’t there.

Wu Mengqi brows raised, “It’s a pity that we can’t ask directly now. The Celestial Sect of Wonders is here. The situation is too delicate, otherwise we’ll have questioned the Gu Family.”

The Qing Ning Holy Man shook his head, “Since they reveal it to us, they must not be afraid of us questioning them.”

Yan Nanlai said, “As long as the Gu Family is not closely related to the Heavenly Born Daoist, we won’t have to be tough on them.”

The Qing Ning Holy Man nodded his head while Wu Mengqi did not speak.

“Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill, Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill…” Yan Nanlai laughed bitterly, “Without the Ginseng Fruit Tree, having the pill formula will still be useless. If only it’s the pill formula of the Way of the Celestial Being Aurous Core.”

The Qing Ning Holy Man and Wu Mengqi nodded their heads as they heard this. Was the pill formula of the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill really that valuable?

It was quite valuable!

Not to mention the effects, the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill and Way of the Celestial Being Aurous Core were different from the Life Substitution Heavenly Pill and Ten Sages Aurous Core. They were miraculous spiritual pills of the Great Void Sect. Now that both the pill formulas of these two pills were missing, how could the Great Void Sect not miss them?

The Way of the Celestial Being Aurous Core was created by the Heavenly Born Daoist, which was quite an awkward situation. Whereas the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill was created by Yan Xinghe, one of the Four Immemorial Heroes of the Great Void and Yan Nanlai’s ancestor.

But Yan Nanlai and the rest were helpless in the face of the almost extinct Ginseng Fruit Tree and Ginseng Fruit. Without this main ingredient, the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill could not be cultivated. Even with the pill formula, nothing could be done.

Just purely for the meaning of the legacy of the pill formula of the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill, the Great Void Sect had to get it back. But to say that it was very valuable, it’s not really the case.

Right now, the Life Substitution Heavenly Pill incomplete version might even be worth more than the pill formula of the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill.

Now that both pill formulas were in the hands of the Gu Family, the Great Void Sect was both elated and faced with a huge problem.

They were elated because they had a target to work towards now. They did not need to search blindly anymore. It’s better than being like a headless fly.

They were faced with a huge problem because with the Celestial Sect of Wonders around, they had to become more passive in their interaction with the Gu Family.
