It took a full cup of tea's ti before the energy field dissipated completely.
The entire outside of the White Emperor City was already in ruins, and now the city walls had vanished along with the energy field. Naturally, those five scrolls could not have survived either.
Who would have thought that a simple list announcent could trigger such a massive uproar? The most unfortunate were those cultivators who gathered to watch the excitent; so lost their lives just because they reacted a bit too slowly.
"The most unfortunate, in fact, are the common people."
Ou Mingdong looked at the place where only broken walls remained and sighed lightly.
He didn't care how many of those unrelated people died, but these living civilians were innocent lives under his governance.
The people of the Corpse Refining Lineage were too vicious.
"It's not good for these people to return to the cultivator realm. I need to go back to the sect to report this. The Nine Sects cannot sit idly by."
Bai Xiangdong's face looked extrely bad. If he hadn't encountered these people today and was out alone, with the explosion of that corpse, his life would probably have ended here as well.
"You should also head back to the sect first!"
Han Yu slowly spoke to Bai Junya.
No one knew if Ma Mian had other plans, and the safety of White Emperor City remained a major issue. Staying here was still too dangerous for her.
"You... you must also be careful yourself."
Bai Junya hesitated, nodded reluctantly, glanced at him a few more tis with reluctance, and then left with Bai Xiangdong.
"Thank you for the reminder this ti, Tower Master Ling."
The group cupped their fists towards Ling Wuce. Had it not been for his warning at the last critical mont, they might not have been able to escape in ti.
Thinking about it now still left them with lingering fears.
In no ti, the group returned to the Governnt Office. Along with Ling Wuce, apart from the four Inspectorate cultivators, there was also soone Han Yu hadn't expected—Elder Feng, who was accompanied by three young people who had just stepped into the Celestial Human Realm.
"Three! Han Yu, those three all have Qi fortune."
In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass suddenly rejoiced, but it wasn't long before it hesitated again.
Because it discovered that these three seed to have only Qi fortune and were not as all-powerful as Young Master Xiao.
At least Young Master Xiao's Fire Divine Power could still be intercepted halfway for so benefit. What's this? Trying to shortchange the West River Pill?
After returning to the inner courtyard, Ou Mingdong arranged for the Palace Guard to handle the aftermath in White Emperor City, while Ling Wuce similarly wrote a secret report which was taken out by the Inspectorate cultivators.
The issues in White Emperor City could not be delayed either and needed to be quickly let Quan Xiaotong know.
Han Yu looked at Elder Feng's expression, which was sowhat peculiar, staring at him until he felt extrely uncomfortable.
"Long ti no see, Brother Han."
Elder Feng awkwardly cupped his hands in greeting.
"I heard you were spreading rumors about ?"
Han Yu suddenly gritted his teeth. It was this bastard spreading nonsense outside, so much that even children knew about his fondness for gourd shapes.
"I can understand your current feelings..."
Just as he said the start, Han Yu's expression darkened, but fortunately, Elder Feng stopped in ti, firmly covering his mouth, unable to sympathize further.
"Feng Buping, you go with them!"
Ling Wuce sighed helplessly, nodded slightly towards the four cultivators, and led the mouth-covered Elder Feng out the door.
According to Quan Xiaotong's arrangents, there was an insider problem within White Emperor City. It couldn't be guaranteed that there wouldn't be another, so it was decided to take them along with Elder Feng for a trip.
As expected, all the Palace Guard in White Emperor City would probably have to go through Elder Feng one more ti.
"This guy's dumb luck saved Quan Xiaotong. Now he's not an ordinary Elder Feng; he's now the Ascension Tower Inspectorate's Feng Buping. I say, stop scaring him, playing. His strange abilities are your own doing."
Ling Wuce glanced at Han Yu, slowly saying.
Strangely enough, Feng Buping went from being beaten by everyone to being a hot commodity in the eyes of several Tower Masters; the change was sudden.
After the Ascension Tower bombing incident, several Tower Masters really wanted to take this guy to screen all the subordinates within their functional range. No one dared to guarantee that next ti, they would be as lucky as Quan Xiaotong.
It was said that before departing, Che Dapao was in the Chongming Tower, cursing Quan Xiaotong, leaving him without dignity. Borrowing soone in good condition, they turned around, and that person beca a mber of the Inspectorate.
It was Gao Feng who wanted to go. On paper, Chongming Tower could oversee the Ascension Tower, but because of Gao Feng's seniority, he couldn't not give him face.
So, cursing Quan Xiaotong beca the only thing he could do.
As for himself, as the Spirit Realm Tower's Vice Tower Master, he helped the Inspectorate on this trip, firstly for escort and secondly to reassess the impact of Han Yu's Pills on these three young people.
"Has Elder Gao already ntioned it to you?"
Ling Wuce pondered, slowly speaking.
Han Yu nodded; indeed, Gao Feng had already ntioned it in the letter, but they didn't understand the West River Pill.
This wasn't sothing they could just arrange for people to take and have them take it.
"There's sothing you three might need to know clearly. The Pills you are to take have a prerequisite condition."
Han Yu looked at the three sowhat tense faces, slowly speaking.
The group was briefly surprised before hearing Han Yu continue.
"So if it's not out of your own willingness, this Pill is useless even if you take it."
This was sothing Ling Wuce hadn't anticipated, and it's clear that the Inspectorate also wasn't aware of this.
Now, the three waiting to take the dicine looked uneasy, as they were inford of a Pill by which they could rapidly enhance their power upon being recruited by the Imperial Court when they were brought over.
To them, this was an unheard-of matter, but the Inspectorate couldn't possibly joke about such matters.
Ultimately, persuading oneself to take such strange Pills was inevitably concerning.
And now, being told it requires personal willingness to consu it... where did such strange Pills co from?
"Give
so ti,"
Ling Wuce furrowed his brow and spoke before leading the three people out.
As they walked out, Cousin and Ou Mingdong imdiately surrounded them.
They were very curious about what kind of pill could garner such attention from the Inspectorate.
Having a Vice Tower Master personally bring people here shows how much importance they attach to it.
The news about the West River Pill couldn't be hidden for long, so Han Yu softly explained the effect of "consuming" Qi Fortune to enhance power.
The two were collectively stunned, wondering if power could indeed be enhanced this way.
"What about ! Isn't it fair for
to take a pill given our relationship?"
Cousin was montarily exhilarated and couldn't help but tug on Han Yu, asking for a pill.
Ou Mingdong thought about their relationship; he was once saved by him. Given such life-saving friendship, taking one pill wouldn't be excessive!
If one pill could directly advance to Divine Gaze Great Perfection, why bother with this Guardian job? Just return ho, clutch a Dragon Blood Stone, and break through.
Don't co out until you reach the Realm of Transcendence.
While the two were lost in endless fantasies, Ling Wuce returned with his people.
It was unknown what promises he made to the three dicine takers, but each wore a radiant look, all eyes aglow as they looked at Han Yu.
In unison, they said, "I'm willing!"
Although Han Yu was curious, he still kindly reminded them.
"First, the effect of the pills varies from person to person."
This point was sothing Han Yu found hard to explain, as it depended on the individual's future circumstances to confirm the effect.
Otherwise, Ling Wuce would probably pull him aside for a discussion again, like before.
"Second, regarding the path of Qi Fortune, Lord Ling is an expert and should know the consequences; losing a year of Qi Fortune will certainly bring three years of misfortune as punishnt."
This was directed at Ling Wuce; as a Divination Cultivator, he clearly understood the consequences of losing Qi Fortune.
Indeed, he understood, which was why he ca; if the aftermath of losing Qi Fortune was too severe, such pills would likely not be desired by the Imperial Court.
Quan Xiaotong's plans will probably need to be adjusted.
"Are you willing?"
Han Yu asked the three once more, looking at them.
Strangely, the three kept nodding, decisively saying.
"Willing."
Goodness, what conditions did Ling Wuce offer that these guys didn't even hesitate?
Could it be that the Imperial Court has so ans to counter misfortune?
"Yes!"
When Han Yu glanced peculiarly at Ling Wuce, the old man suddenly smiled and spoke.
"I haven't asked yet."
"I know what you're thinking?"
Their questions and answers left others baffled, as only they understood each other's intentions.
"Refine the pills!"
Han Yu spoke towards the Sea of Consciousness, and the authority simultaneously fell upon the Artifact Spirit.
"Here we go! Get to work, Ping."
It had been impatiently waiting for a long ti, now rubbing its hands, smiling and skipping beside Ping, shouting.
Three different West River Pills leapt out one by one.
West River Pill: Upon consumption, improves personal aptitude, granting Top-Grade Single Spirit Root, cultivation crosses to Divine Gaze Great Perfection Realm. Side effects: consus eight years of Qi Fortune.
This fellow's future prospects ultimately are sowhat inferior to Young Master Xiao, rely finding a chance to alter aptitude, and cultivation is still sowhat slow.
Han Yu glanced at the Junior Cultivator on the left, silently pondering.
This roughly counts as a hidden feature of the West River Pill: through the pill's effects, one can largely deduce the opposite's future achievents.
West River Pill: Upon consumption, gains Extre Yang True Essence attribute, when combined with Fire Attribute Spirit Root can double the power, cultivation crosses to Divine Gaze Realm. Side effects: consus five years of Qi Fortune.
Han Yu's gaze held a slight astonishnt as he looked at the slightly shy Junior Cultivator on the right, did this person have such good fortune?
Five years of Qi Fortune isn't much worse off than the first one, especially considering the synergy between his True Essence attribute and Spirit Root, in future realms, the one with eight years might not even beat him.
The last one.
West River Pill: Upon consumption, cultivation crosses to Divine Gaze Realm, side effects: consus six years of Qi Fortune.
Not... nothing else?
"Did you perhaps embezzle a little?"
Han Yu quickly asked in the Sea of Consciousness.
Unexpectedly, Glass spat at him in the Sea of Consciousness, rolling its eyes.
"In the world, there's no lack of those who squander heavenly gifts, lazy in their consumption of resources."
In other words, this last fellow had heavenly opportunities bestowed upon him but wasn't striving forward?
Honestly, throughout the ergence of the West River Pill, this was indeed the first appearance of soone who had nothing but cultivation with no personal improvents.
"Who wants to go first!"
Han Yu looked at the three of them, smiling as he spoke...
