Chapter 640: Pill

“Yes.” Jin Yu nodded hurriedly. “I will be careful. That Imperial Preceptor’s strength is far greater than yours. If he comes, none of us can stop him.”

“That’s right. No one can. Even I, your master, am only a mortal,” said Qin Yun wistfully.

Tian Huang hurriedly said, “Master, don’t worry. As long as I hide here and do not appear in public, the Imperial Preceptor will not be able to find me.”

“Let’s not talk about this. We should focus on your injuries.” Qin Yun looked at him. “When will the Elder from your sect arrive? You won’t be able to last long with those injuries.”

“Probably in the next few days,” said Tian Huang honestly. “Elder is a Skyimmortal. I directly informed the sect and they said they’d send an Elder here. As for whether it takes three or five days, I have no idea.”

“You will be dead in seven days.”

Qin Yun thought for a moment and frowned before he flipped his hand to produce a jade bottle. He then threw it at Tian Huang. “Take this.”

“What is this?” asked Tian Huang.

“I obtained this pill years ago while traveling the world thanks to some immortal encounter,” said Qin Yun as he faked a story. “It’s name is a Tiny Essence Immortal Pill. It should be more than enough to treat that bit of injuries of yours.”

“Tiny Essence Immortal Pill?” Tian Huang was alarmed. “This is way too valuable.”

“There’s no hope for me to condense an Essence Soul.” Qin Yun looked at Tian Huang. “This Immortal Pill will be wasted if used by me, so I might as well give it to you. However, don’t be in a hurry to use it. If that Elder comes in time, there’s no need to consume it. If he doesn’t make it in time, consume the Immortal Pill.”

“Master…” Tian Huang was moved to tears. “This Immortal Pill is important to Essence Sou level Essence Souls as well. Master, you could use it to exchange for numerous benefits. Perhaps there will be a chance of you condensing an Essence Soul.”

“Take it!” Qin Yun glared.

Having entered the Misty Rain Sword Gallery at six, he was taught for twenty years. In Tian Huang’s heart, this master was like his father.

Even though his strength had “far exceeded” his master, he did not dare disobey him.

“Master, why don’t you go to the Cloud Ink Sect with me?” suggested Tian Huang. “My parents were taken with me to reside in Cloud Ink City. Master, you can go there for its an immortal city of the Cloud Ink Sect. It has billions of people and I’m a Cloud Ink Sect disciple. I can allow my family to stay behind. Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies there are richer and there will be more opportunities.”

“I’m not going. I’m not going anywhere. Don’t try to persuade me.” Qin Yun turned around and casually waved his hand. “Punk, take good care of yourself. I’m leaving.”

With that said, he left.

As Tian Huang watched Qin Yun leave, his heart was moved. “Master.”

“Master is so nice to you. He gave you an Immortal Pill just like that.” Jin Yu was rather envious.

“The kindness Master has given me is something I will be indebted to for life,” said Tian Huang. Following that, he whispered, “Junior Sister, did you notice it? Our master had an immortal encounter and produced this Immortal Pill. He identified the demonic aura to be the Imperial Preceptor’s at a glance. Although I have yet to step into the Dao with the sword arts he taught, he is adept in many sword arts. He’s fully faceted. Even those at the Essence Soul realm might not be as fully faceted as he is. Master looks rather casual and unbridled at times, but he chooses to stay in a tiny remote city. Furthermore, he ignores all the women who have had shown him interest. He’s extremely stubborn. For more than three decades, he has been alone. So I believe that… Master might very well have an emotional scar which resulted in his present state. That’s why he ignores my invitation of bringing him to Cloud Ink Immortal City.”

“Yea.” Jin Yu nodded. “That’s quite true.”

…

As the two disciples discussed, Qin Yun had leisurely returned to the Misty Rain Sword Gallery. Along the way, he even bought some food to eat along the way.

“Thankfully, I have been walking the human world over the past few centuries. Occasionally, I wipe out those fiendish demons who do evil and collected their belongings. It allowed me to produce such a pill.” Qin Yun thought wistfully. “If not, it would truly be quite hard for me to find such an inferior pill.”

What he had on him were at the very least supreme-grade numinous treasures or Connate Wonders.

Ordinary treasures were stored in his Qin Manor’s treasury. Now, Qin Yun would directly wipe out the corpses of fiendish demons below the mighty figure realm without even bothering to store them.

As for the Tiny Essence Immortal Pill?

Just one blow of Qin Yun’s immortal breath could restore an Essence Soul cultivator to normal. Its effects would be much better than such an Immortal Pill, so he naturally did not carry them on him.

Therefore, he was able to produce the Tiny Essence Immortal Pill all thanks to the fiendish demons he killed in the past few centuries.

“Speaking of which, it’s been seven thousand years since I became an Itinerant Immortal. When will I be able to figure out the Great Dao of Man?” Qin Yun lay in his lounge chair. Beside him was the big plate of fruits the maidservant had previously delivered. There was also a bunch of food he had bought himself. As he ate, he pondered.

Cultivation was as such.

As the accumulations grow, what seems increasingly close only leaves one vexed when the breakthrough never comes!

But at times, a breakthrough might happen all too suddenly!

Night.

Capital of the Southern Nation.

In a luxurious residence’s chamber, the Imperial Preceptor held a voice transmission object. He wore a cold expression while dressed in a regal gown.

“Whoosh.” A phantom appeared beside him. It was that of a white-haired elder.

“Greetings, Elder Qian.” The Imperial Preceptor was rather polite. “Might I know of the reason why you are seeking me? I have done everything you have instructed me to perfection.”

“I’m contacting you to tell you of something,” said the white-haired elder. “My Cloud Ink Sect has a disciple named Tian Huang. His hometown is in the Southern Nation.”

“For a small nation like the Southern Nation to have someone enter the Cloud Ink Sect, that’s truly an honor for the Southern Nation,” lauded the Imperial Preceptor.

“A few days ago, a cultivator attempted to assassinate you, right?” asked the white-haired elder.

The Imperial Preceptor’s expression changed as he hurriedly said, “Yes, that cultivator appeared to be at the second firmament Essence Soul realm. But I cultivate my body and am extremely good at melee sword arts. I nearly perished, but he was hit by my lethal poison. He won’t live for long.”

“The one who assassinated you was my Cloud Ink Sect disciple, Tian Huang,” said the white-haired elder. “He had reported your misdeeds to the Cloud Ink Sect and has sought reinforcements! As his injuries are heavy, my Cloud Ink Sect has sent one of my junior brothers… By my estimate, my junior brother will arrive in Southern Nation three days from now. When the time comes, he will save Tian Huang and investigate the Southern Nation. If your misdeeds are confirmed, you be wiped out in passing.”

“T-This… Elder Qian, I have always been working for you,” said the Imperial Preceptor immediately.

“Don’t worry,” Elder Qian said, “Tian Huang’s request for help has indicated that the meet up point is in the Jin residence in Southern Nation’s Lin City. Go there immediately and kill Tian Huang before my junior brother arrives! Then, resolve any matters in the Southern Nation and hide for a few years! After this is over, I will allow you to return to the Southern Nation.”

“Yes,” said the Imperial Preceptor in great reverence immediately.

Soon, the phantom dissipated.

After the transmission was cut.

“Nice, so it’s a cultivator from our Southern Nation and one that comes from the Cloud Ink Sect.” There was a cold look in the Imperial Preceptor’s eyes. “Tian Huang? Tian Huang ah, the Southern Nation is one of the tiny nations under the Cloud Ink Sect’s rule. If I did not have a Cloud Ink Sect Skyimmortal backing me, how would I be able to hoodwink the masses and be so carefree for so long?”

An hour later.

Imperial Preceptor and two other figures arrived at the tiny city of Lin City.

“Brother, we have arrived at Lin City,” said a demon behind.

“Okay. According to the intelligence, Tian Huang’s family has been sent to Cloud Ink Immortal City. The only one left in Lin City… is a swordsman master named Qin Nan. Tian Huang came under this swordsman’s tutelage at six and studied under him for twenty years. Their relationship is as close as a father is to a son. Now, this swordsman master is still teaching other sword arts in the Misty Rain Sword Gallery. Quickly capture him. Remember, he is to be captured alive! Following that, bring that swordsman master to the Jin residence to meet up with me.” The Imperial Preceptor’s eyes were cold. “Hmph, how dare you try to assassinate me. You nearly took my life, so how can I allow you to die that simply?”

“Yes, I’ll do it immediately. He’s only mortal after all.” The demon looked down at Lin City.

With his second firmament Essence Soul strength, he quickly swept through the tiny city.

“Misty Rain Sword Gallery. I see it! It’s there! Brother, I’ll head over to capture him now!” The demon immediately transformed into a stream of light as he flew off.

“Let’s head to the Jin residence,” said the Imperial Preceptor as he led another demon toward the Jin residence.
