Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Seventh-grade Void-Breaking Pill? That’s not right!” Gu Qingluan frowned, carefully sniffing it. This was clearly a fifth-grade Void-Breaking Pill. She wondered what kind of deception the seller had used to make people mistake it for a seventh-grade pill. Furthermore, this pill had a high level of purity but was created using a special thod to give a false impression. If she weren’t the owner of the Island of No Return, she might have been deceived by this pill as well.
The man, who had his pill taken by her, was both shocked and terrified.
In the black market, violence and treachery were commonplace. The other party could easily subdue him, and taking his life would be a simple task.
He dared not curse and could only tremble as he said, “Young hero, spare my life! If you want the Void-Breaking Pill, take it, but please spare . We are strangers, with no grievances between us…”
Without waiting for him to finish, Gu Qingluan flicked her finger.
A burst of energy struck his chest.
Then, she threw the pill back to him.
“This isn’t a product of the Island of No Return. I advise you not to consu it recklessly.”
The man realized he could move again, grabbed the pill bottle, and fled. As for what Gu Qingluan said, he didn’t pay any attention at all.
Gu Qingluan looked at the dense crowd ahead, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a dangerous glint.
Soone dared to impersonate the Island of No Return. She was curious to see who had the audacity to do so!
With a light step, Gu Qingluan flew to the rooftop of a nearby building.
Below, in the midst of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a goat-like beard sat on a wooden board in front of a carriage. His voice was loud, “Don’t push! This is the last batch of pills! Once it’s gone, there won’t be any left!” “Sell it to ! Sell it to !” Everyone pushed harder.
“I’ll pay double!”
“I’ll pay triple!”
In the end, the bottle of pills was snatched up by a chubby man.
A bottle of seventh-grade Pureness Pill was sold to him at a high price, almost matching the prices at auctions.
Others who couldn’t buy it felt extrely regretful.
“Master Hu, when will you co back to sell pills again?”
“Well… the pills we refine on the Island of No Return are different from those of other alchemists. Even though they’re both seventh-grade Pureness Pills, we need to invest twice or even three tis the effort. The quality of the raw materials is also different, and we need to carefully select them. So, 1 can’t be sure when 1’11 be able to refine more. But don’t worry, as soon as I’m ready, 1’11 co back.”
The man with the goat-like beard bid farewell to the crowd with a smile and then drove his carriage away.
Gu Qingluan leaped down from the rooftop and landed on top of the carriage.
The carriage trembled slightly, but the middle-aged man didn’t notice anything unusual.
He drove the carriage along, humming a tune, clearly in a good mood.
Soon, the carriage veered away from the bustling main street.
Moonlight spilled down, casting shadows on the ground.
The middle-aged man’s humming suddenly stopped for a mont, almost imperceptibly, then resud.
“When nature calls, 1 must attend to it first.”
He parked the carriage outside a thatched hut, hopped down from the carriage, and headed towards the hut.
Once inside, he imdiately wiped away his smile, swiftly removed his wig and mask, and peeled off the outer layer of clothing.
After a brief mont, an elderly woman with a hunched back erged from the opposite door of the hut, holding her nose in disgust. “Oh my, who could have caused such a foul odor in here? It’s absolutely intolerable!”
She complained as she slowly walked away.
No one stopped her!
He felt a secret joy.
Indeed, no matter how skilled soone may be, they cannot perceive my mastery of disguise!
As he basked in his triumph, a chilling light approached.
He instinctively dodged.
This dodge revealed his agility.
He hesitated for a mont and then pretended to fall to the ground, exclaiming, “Oh dear! My old arms and legs are no good! I’ve gone and fallen down, oh this poor old !”
All of a sudden, he sensed a chill on his scalp.
Swiftly, he raised his hand to touch his head.
His wig was gone!
His eyes instantly changed, and a bright light erupted from his cloudy eyes. He bounced up from the ground and darted away into the distance.
A powerful pressure descended suddenly, like a mountain, rendering him immobile.
With a thud, his knees involuntarily bent, and he knelt down.
Who on earth was this formidable presence that had co looking for him?
It’s over, it’s over!
Today, Song Huize’s life was in grave danger!
Song Huize wore an expression of fear and pleaded, tears in his eyes, “Great deity, spare my life! I don’t know where I’ve offended you, great deity. Please, there must be a misunderstanding!”
Gu Qingluan descended from the sky and landed gracefully in front of him, teasingly saying, “Misunderstanding? I think I understand the situation quite well!”
