Chapter 502: Unreasonable
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Stepping into the pill accumulating cave, they entered only to see that the outermost layer was an extremely wide pill room.
There were 20 human cultivator corpses who were sitting and also 2 dragon corpses which were only left with bones at the side.
A full 30 pill furnaces were flipped onto the ground. The cave fires were extinguished, there were no remnants of any embers left. This was because, without enough spiritual energy provided, the spiritual flames used to refine the pills would disappear.
On the two sides of the area, there were over sixty rooms. Some were made for standard cultivation whilst some were higher-grade independent rooms.
Inside, there were several corpses, however, they were much better preserved than the ones outside. They gave off a jade luster, it was obvious they were spirit-realm and above cultivators.
These experts who stepped into the celestial path all had the ability to pass through space. As long as there weren’t dragon race guards they could easily escape.
However, for some reason… They died here.
Looking closely, he saw some scratches around the area, this meant that they died from fighting. The scratches were also not caused by the dragon race but by the spiritual artifacts and magical weapons of the human race cultivators. Within the pill rooms, there were numerous traces of intense battle.
Zong Shou couldn’t help but sigh upon looking at the corpses. How should he put it? They didn’t die in the hands of the dragon race but in the end, they were killed by the same kin.
After searching for a while more, he didn’t gain anything. The ingredients in the pill furnace were already abandoned. As for these cultivators, they had nothing on their bodies.
The few small Heaven and Earth bags had already decomposed due to the passing of time.
There were only a few magical artifacts and pill furnaces that gave off a darker glow when both sides were split. Those magical treasures were actually already destroyed, but if a great artifact blacksmith split them apart, the ingredients would still be quite precious.
Ye Feishuang also searched for a moment but was unable to find anything. She stood in front of a stone door, casting several spells to activate a small-sized formation.
Zong Shou spent some time to shift the corpses outside of the cave to bury and pay respects to them. This will allow them to be at peace. As for the dragon corpses, he left them on their own.
After returning back to the front of the stone gate, Ye Feishuang had already broken the restrictions and seals.
In front of them were rows and rows of stone racks. They were all medicinal pills.
Zong Shou wasn’t tempted at all when he casually took one up and opened it. Once he did, he was able to see that it was either decomposed or black, with an extremely smelly scent.
The lower the grade of the spiritual pill, the less time it would be able to be stored for. No one touched this place in ten-thousand years. How could there be any spiritual pills that were left intact?
Ye Feishuang didn’t bother about the items here and directly walked in until she was in front of a stone wall. After looking at it for a moment, her eyes lit up. She actually directly jumped into the stone pillar in front of her.
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up upon seeing this, he followed closely behind. He smiled as he asked Ye Feihan, “Did you and your sister come here in the past?”
Ye Feihan was shocked at hearing the question, she shook her head, “I have never come here but I remember this place. Ever since I was young, I have memories here, however, it is a little unclear. Elder Sister Feishuang definitely knows more than me…”
Zong Shou’s eyes jumped, could it be a memory that formed right when they were born? It was okay if they could inherit powers… But they could also remember the situation within the dragon hall? He had no idea what was happening regarding their bloodlines…
Were they really high-grade true dragon race members? How was that possible?
Walking into the stone pillar, Ye Feishuang looked behind with a mocking expression, “Is it very interesting trying to make my sister answer your questions?”
Zong Shou coughed, awkwardly avoiding her gaze. This place within the pillar was extremely narrow. There were several stone racks here but only around ten pill bottles each.
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up after opening up a medicine bottle. Instantly, thick spiritual energy surged into his nose.
“…These are all Low-grade magical pills. How should we split this?”
The over ten bottles were all like this. However, some of them were abandoned and some, when opened, instantly wanted to fly up into the air.
The so-called spiritual artifacts and spiritual pills on the cloud world had a spiritual formation formed within them when crafting.
The next level, magical treasures and magical pills had laws merged into them.
At this level, it had the preliminary ability to go against life and death, trying to seize good luck.
The higher the grade of the pill, the more sentient it was. It was said that some celestial pills
had nine orifices, having its own mind and could form into a human shape.
There were 200 bottles here, even if half were preserved, it was still a huge gain. It was worth it coming this time.
Ye Feishuang picked up the bottles one by one, her expression slowly turned dark, “Each person can take half! You don’t need to be so happy, the pills here are for the dragon race. Human cultivators can forget about consuming it. The dragon race isn’t in the cloud world, so you can forget about selling it even if you wanted to.”
Zong Shou smiled and didn’t speak. Although that was the case, he had a Lightning Winged Flood Dragon on his arm, Zong Shou with his Lightning Dragon, and Chuxue with her Green Horned Dragon, they could all use this.
He looked at Feihan, only to see that the little girl’s expression went dark. Zong Shou frowned, “You didn’t find the pill? Is that thing the only present here?”
“There was a 50% chance it was within the Pill Accumulating Cave. We rushed over just to hope and try it out. However, there are definitely some at the legacy land of the hall. Only… It would be a little problematic…”
As she said that, she flew up in the air, “Let’s head to the Dragon Torture Platform. Those weapons can’t fall into the hands of Juelong City. The demon sect must also not be able to get them.”
Zong Shou didn’t have anything to do, so he followed behind them. Since his soul cultivation rose to grade-7, he didn’t pant after walking for a little. Traveling with the sword, passing a thousand miles, and traveling 3 days and nights were no problem.
The so-called Dragon Torture Platform was at the west side of the Dragon Hall, there was a giant blood-colored stone platform.
After 2 hours, Ye Feishuang and her sister made a circle, avoiding the spiritual formation lock. When they arrived here, they felt a physical vengeance energy charging up into the sky.
In the central area, there was a giant lever-style guillotine that hung high above.
On the sides, there were other items lying around. There were 2 large axes, 2 silver hooks and also some purple gold-colored long nails. There was similarly a huge amount of vengeance and grievances wafting about in the area.
Walking forward, one could see dragon shadows wrapping on the weapon.
The Lightning Winged Flood Dragon on his arm constricted into a ball, the dragon patterns were swiftly retreating.
Feihan and Feishuang didn’t dare to get close, while they looked at Zong Shou.
Even the icy-eyed teen who had a slow-witted look had a face filled with a respectful expression.
Zong Shou thought to himself, ‘No wonder they said that these tools can’t fall in the hands of Juelong City.’
Because of the number of dragons that they killed, these tools were watered with dragon blood over the many years. It could naturally restrict the dragon race.
If the demon sect people took it, it could also be made into a TOP demon treasure.
The guillotine was naturally use to chop off heads. The axe to cut limbs. The silver hooks were most probably to grind bones and cut tendons. As for the purple-gold colored nail, it was obvious.
The ancient people loved to use nails to pin down fingers and toes. As for these methods, they got it from the dragon race.
Before Zong Shou could take a close look, he had a weird feeling. Without hesitating, he casted out several spiritual talismans.
These were item absorbing talismans. They were considered to be high-grade magical treasures that would weigh around tens of millions of kilograms. As for the guillotine, it would be at least 150 million kilograms.
With his strength, he would definitely not be able to carry them. He could only use the talismans to hide it into his Heaven and Earth bag.
The moment it entered, the bag shook while being struck by the vengeance and grievances, it was actually showing signs of being about to explode.
Zong Shou was slightly shocked, luckily, he had a Lingjie ring on him that had its own space. Thus, he had no choice but to transfer all the items there.
The moment these dragon race tools were kept, a few invisible auras appeared behind him. The five black-shirted people flew over, either stepping on the air or riding on weapons.
The moment those five people landed and saw Zong Shou and the others, they were stunned. They didn’t expect that there were actually people who could be faster than them.
Following which, when they saw that there was nothing left on the punishment platform, their brows furrowed, filled with rage.
Landing down close by, a male stepped out. He seemed to be the leader of the few of them, he coldly looked at Zong Shou, “Gantian Monster king Zong Shou? What do the tools here have to do with your Gantian Mountain? Can you give them to my Juelong City? Naturally, I will exchange for them with suitable items, I won’t let you take a loss.”
Zong Shou didn’t reply, he just looked out with a gaze like he was looking at an idiot. The black-shirted male was furious once more, however, he suppressed it, “We came here for that item. If you are unwilling to give up then we really can’t answer to our superiors. Although the Dragon Shadow Old Man is strong, our Juelong City doesn’t care. Your highness! Please reconsider!”
“Are you threatening me?”
Zong Shou smiled, his gaze changing.
The black-shirted male stopped breathing. He only felt that Zong Shou’s current aura was really dangerous.
However, while looking at the kid, he was just someone who hadn’t formed a heaven talisman yet, just someone at the grade-7 soul power.
Only the icy-eyed male at the side gave off a grade-9 aura made him a little worried.
…However, it was only just worry.
Four grade-7, and one grade-9, their strengths were at most on the same level. As for the two girls? He didn’t regard them at all.
After taking a look at Zong Yuan and the others, his lips curled up, “That’s a little too much! Our Juelong City is always reasonable. Your highness, please come up with a price. I heard that your Gantian mountain already has so many enemies, are you sure you want to add another one?”
Before he finished, in the next instance, Zong Shou shook his head, “I never liked to reason with people!”
Waving his sleeves, a few white lights charged out.
The pupils of the black-shirted male constricted, he instinctively felt terrified. His body explosively retreated while slashing out with his sword. It clashed with the white light, giving rise to six rings. Who knew if they were hidden weapons or not? He was just barely able to deflect them away.
However, he was unable to block the last one. A silver-white knife light flashed, slicing apart his neck! Blood flowed instantly like that of a fountain’s!
