Chapter 3603: The Psychic Pill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian had planned to pretend to be a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect. However, it was not his intention to pretend to be Ye Bei Yuan’s disciple. If Qian Yue Jin did not try and probe him, he would not have mentioned Ye Bei Yuan, a Lord of Gods from the Glorious Heaven Sect whom he was indebted to.
Duan Ling Tian felt guilty about using Ye Bei Yuan’s name and was determined to apologize to Ye Bei Yuan the next time he met Ye Bei Yuan.
After gathering more information about the Psychic Pill, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Qian Yue Jin as he thought to himself, ‘Since he’s convinced I’m a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect, I wonder if he’ll object if I ask him to kill Qian Fei?’
Despite his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian did not act recklessly. After all, Qian Yue Jin had easily believed his lies because it only concerned 1,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks. He knew if it was regarding the life and death of Qian Yue Jin’s son, Qian Fei, Qian Yue Jin would definitely do a more thorough check of his background. It would not be a problem if he was truly a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect and Ye Bei Yuan’s disciple. However, since he was lying, he would be exposed if any thorough investigations were made.
‘It’s best that I wait until I attain godhood. At that time, I’ll go to the Qian family and kill Qian Fei and the god who protects him. I’ll avenge those from the southern village of the Duan Clan Village!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he looked at Qian Yue Jin who was pretending to be the Grand Elder of the Qian family. Then, he said, “Elder Qian He, I’d like to exchange another 2,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks.”
Following that, Duan Ling Tian casually waved his hand, bringing out 220,000 supreme Celestial Crystals. Then, he said, “Go ahead and count them.”
Upon seeing this, not only was Qian Tong stunned, but even Qian Yue Jin was stunned.
This was a profitable transaction. Naturally, Qian Yue Jin would not refuse Duan Ling Tian.
When Qian Yue Jin regained his senses, he said, “Young Master Duan, coincidentally, I have 2,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks with me now.”
Qian Yue Jin brought out the divine rocks as he spoke.
The reason why very few people counted divine rocks was due to their different sizes. Moreover, it would be too troublesome and difficult to cut them into a standard size. For this reason, most people would calculate them by weight.
Among the 2,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks that Qian Yue Jin brought out, some of them were the size of an adult’s fist. Just one of them weighed a few dozen taels.
Duan Ling Tian could easily tell the weight of the divine rocks as he put them into his Spatial Ring. Then, he said, “I’ll take my leave now. Farewell.”
With 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks, Duan Ling Tian hurriedly made his way to the Still Water Pavilion that was owned by the Meng family. This was because Qian Tong had told him earlier that there was a Psychic Pill on sale in the Still Water Pavilion.
After Duan Ling Tian left, Qian Tong bowed again and greeted Qian Yue Jin. “Master Qian.”
Similarly, the staff of the Rejuvenation Tower greeted Qian Yue Jin as well. After all, due to Qian Yue Jin’s order, they had to address him as the Grand Elder of the Qian family in front of Duan Ling Tian. Now that Duan Ling Tian had left, it was only natural that they had to greet him properly.
Qian Yue Jin nodded as he put the supreme Celestial Crystals that were piled up into hills away. Then, he frowned as he looked outside, lost in his thoughts.
Upon seeing this, Qian Tong curiously asked, “Master, is Ye Bei Yuan famous in the Glorious Heaven Sect?”
“That’s right. He’s the Valley Master of the Moon Shadow Valley in the Glorious Heaven Sect. He’s an intermediate Lord of Gods.” Qian Yue Jin replied.
“An intermediate Lord of Gods?!” Qian Tong inhaled sharply.
The others were shocked by this revelation as well.
A Lord of Gods was stronger than a King of Gods. Let alone a Lord of Gods, there was not even one King of Gods in Descent Mountain City. The strongest powerhouse in the city were only intermediate gods. Even the Qian family only had one intermediate god.
“What a pity! 3,000 tael’s worth of divine rocks…” Qian Yue Jin muttered to himself as he sighed. If it were not for the fact that Duan Ling Tian was a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect and Ye Bei Yuan, he would not have let go of the 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks so easily. Earlier, he had probed Duan Ling Tian using his Divine Consciousness and discovered Duan Ling Tian was only a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. Hence, he knew it would not be difficult to kill Duan Ling Tian.
If Duan Ling Tian was really a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect, as a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian could easily deal with those who were not gods in Descent Mountain City. However, there was an insurmountable gap between celestials and gods. Hence, Qian Yue Jin was confident about killing Duan Ling Tian even if Duan Ling Tian was the most talented disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect and had a high comprehension of the law. Alas, Duan Ling Tian’s background was too strong for him to make a move.
…
After leaving the Rejuvenation Tower, Duan Ling Tian directly made his way to the Still Water Pavilion.
The Meng family that owned the Still Water Pavilion was as powerful as the Qian family. A few months ago, they announced they were putting a Psychic Pill on sale, attracting a lot of attention. However, even after a few months had passed, no one bought the Psychic Pill.
Naturally, there were many people who wanted the Psychic Pill. However, all of them could not afford it.
Perhaps, only the strongest forces in and around Descent Mountain City could come up with 3,000 tael’s worth of divine rocks to buy the Psychic Pill. The smaller forces certainly did not possess so many divine rocks.
After a worker led Duan Ling Tian into the Still Water Pavilion, Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush, “I want the Psychic Pill.”
“The Psychic Pill?!” The worker was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Even the customers in the Still Water Pavilion were shocked when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian.
“Who’s this young man? I don’t think I’ve seen him before.”
“I’ve met all the young talents from the Qian family, Cloudy Morning Sect, and the Heaven Martial Sect, but I’ve never seen him before.”
“I wonder if he’s aware that the Psychic Pill costs 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks?”
Everyone looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically. They did not think he could afford the Psychic Pill.
“Sir, did you say you want to buy the Psychic Pill?” the worker asked.
Before Duan Ling Tian could respond, a tall middle-aged man with a beard who was dressed in traditional Chinese clothing walked out. He had a rigid expression on his face and seemed to exert pressure on the others when he appeared.
“That’s Meng Yuan, the shopkeeper!”
“Elder Meng Yuan!”
Many people greeted the middle-aged man respectfully as soon as he walked out.
Meng Yuan was the shopkeeper of the Still Water Pavilion, and he was also the fifth elder of the Meng family.
“You want to buy the Psychic Pill?”
Meng Yuan had come out because he had overheard Duan Ling Tian saying he wanted to buy the Psychic Pill. This was because as the shopkeeper, he had to personally handle the transaction for the Psychic Pill. Apart from that, he would also have to send a message back to the family house to send the alchemist over to unlock the transparent box where the Psychic Pill was sealed.
The transparent box was sealed with a Formation. Weaker gods would have a hard time opening it. After all, if they tried to destroy the box, the pill inside would be destroyed along with it. It would also alert the gods in the Meng family.
Duan Ling Tian nodded in response to Meng Yuan’s question. “That’s right. Are you the shopkeeper of the Still Water Pavilion?”
“That’s right. I’m Meng Yuan,” Meng Yuan replied. His eyes flashed as he deliberately said, “I’m also the fifth elder of the Meng family. Sir, the Psychic Pill costs 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks.”
Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and brought out the 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks, which he had exchanged for in the Rejuvenation Tower.
The divine rocks hovered in the air in front of everyone’s eyes. With that, strands of Divine Consciousness snaked out to count the divine rocks.
“There are really 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks!” someone exclaimed.
After confirming the number of divine rocks was correct, Meng Yuan said solemnly, “Sir, you can put away the divine rocks for now.”
This was Meng Yuan’s first time seeing someone openly displaying so many divine rocks. It seemed like the young man before him was not afraid of greedy people coveting his divine rocks. With this, he speculated that the person in front of him must be confident about his strength. Moreover, no ordinary person would be able to come up with 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks.
Moreover, in the Meng family, only those who were gods could easily bring out 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks.
When Duan Ling Tian put away the divine rocks, the crowd finally looked away. Although there were many who coveted the divine rocks, none of them dared to take action. After all, if they failed, they would definitely die. They knew such a person who easily brought out 3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks had to be an extraordinary person. Moreover, most of them discovered that they could not probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base with their Divine Consciousness. This meant that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than them. Only Ten Directions Celestial Emperors or those who were stronger would be able to probe Duan Ling Tian.
“Sir, please wait for a moment. I need to summon our alchemist here to open the box where the Psychic Pill is kept. The box is protected by a Formation. Please come with me, and I’ll show you the Psychic Pill while we wait for the alchemist to arrive,” Meng Yuan said. He was much more polite to Duan Ling Tian now.
Meng Yuan led Duan Ling Tian to a corner in the Still Water Pavilion. Everyone made way for the duo as they walked.
Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian saw a glowing pill in a transparent box that was placed on an exquisite display rack.
