Chapter 189: Chapter 186: The 3 Heroes of Xibei
The Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill was immensely famous in the martial world. It was a First Class, Top-grade Spirit Pill, so sought after that it was practically unavailable for purchase, even for those with immense wealth. The only known place capable of creating the Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill was Medicine King Valley. The pill was refined from eight exceedingly rare Spirit Medicines using a unique technique. This process was exceptionally difficult, and the slightest mistake could result in complete failure. Consequently, whenever an Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill did appear for sale, its price was astronomical.
Just imagine—consuming a single Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill could instantly and dramatically boost one’s Inner Power Cultivation, and with no side effects. It was, without a doubt, the Miracle Elixir that countless Martial Artists dreamed of obtaining.
As a Martial Artist himself, Ye Xing naturally coveted the Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill.
"Yah!"
Ye Xing suddenly snapped the reins, spurring his horse into a wild gallop as he gave chase. The horse’s powerful strides pounded against the earth, its hooves kicking up a loud, rhythmic clamor.
THUD-THUD-THUD! THUD-THUD-THUD!
THUD-THUD! THUD-THUD-THUD!
Leaving a trail of dust in its wake, the powerful steed shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, racing after the group of people of the martial world.
A short while later, Ye Xing finally caught up to the three people of the martial world at the rear of the group. All three men wielded Great Steel Sabers. They were burly and powerfully built, and looked like brothers. Judging by the strength of their auras, Ye Xing estimated they were all at the Martial Arts Fifth Realm of cultivation.
"Pardon my forwardness, but might I ask if you three gentlemen know the whereabouts of the Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill?" Ye Xing asked, clasping his fist in his palm.
The leader of the trio sized Ye Xing up and sneered, "What? You think you can get your hands on the Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill, too?"
"Ah, hehe, just curious! Trying to get the latest scoop!" Ye Xing said with a chuckle.
"Curious? With your piddling Martial Arts Fourth Realm cultivation, you should scurry on home and drink your mommy’s milk!"
"Brat, do you have any idea what the cultivation level of the pill’s owner is? With your meager strength, you actually think you can get it?"
"Haha, a cultivator at the Martial Arts Fourth Realm would just be courting death if he went."
The three men’s eyes dripped with scorn as they laughed mockingly.
"Well, if you’ll pardon my saying so, your own cultivation levels don’t seem all that impressive either," Ye Xing retorted.
"We are the Three Heroes of Xibei, and each of us is at the Peak of the Martial Arts Fifth Realm! When the three of us join forces, we can even take down a Martial Artist at the Sixth Realm. The Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill may be hard to get, but when we Three Heroes of Xibei work together, we have a real shot at it." The man glanced at Ye Xing with contempt. "A brat like you, at the mere Martial Arts Fourth Realm, trying to get involved? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
The man on the right studied Ye Xing more closely, a predatory glint flashing in his eyes. He turned to the leader and said, "Boss, judging by how this kid’s dressed, he must be loaded. Why don’t we take care of business right now?"
At this moment, Ye Xing was dressed in blue robes, a Sharp Sword at his waist, with a handsome face. Based on appearance alone, he indeed looked like a wealthy young master. The Three Heroes of Xibei had obviously gotten some wicked ideas and were preparing to kill Ye Xing and take everything he had.
A flicker of interest immediately crossed the leader’s eyes, but he quickly hesitated and shook his head. "Forget it. Our main target right now is the Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill. Let’s not get sidetracked. There’s an inn up ahead. I expect most of the people chasing the pill will stop there for a short rest before continuing. We’ve been on the road for a long time; we need to rest and regain our strength there as well."
