Chapter 213: Vitality Pill Tome, Ghost Street, Blackstain Plume Ringleader’s Fear
Lan Yu delivered Chu Kuangren’s order to the Murong clan.
Murong Feng pondered for a while before he agreed. “Alright.”
They did not have the capability to reject Chu Kuangren’s order, so they quickly dispatched people to gather the relevant information about the Blackstain Plumes.
The next day.
Inside the Illusive Mirage which remained floated high in the air, Chu Kuangren, who had spent the whole night researching a pill recipe, opened his eyes slowly. He felt his head hurt a little.
“Researching a pill recipe is really not a task for a normal human being. If I go on like this, all of my hair would surely fall soon.” He rubbed the area between his eyebrows as he said.
However, since Murong Xuan was his Junior Brother, he could not let things slide just like that.
“Ah, forget it. Let me draw a gacha roll to unwind.”
Chu Kuangren opened the Fantasy Roulette as he spoke.
Without taking a second look, he set it spinning on its own.
“Congratulations Host for drawing the Vitality Pill Tome.
Eh?
Vitality Pill Tome?
Pill?
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up, and he immediately retrieved this Vitality Pill Tome. However, what looked like a Rubik’s Cube suddenly appeared in front of him.
That was right, a Rubik’s Cube.
A quaint-looking nine-squared Rubik’s Cube, surrounded by mystical runes.
“I thought you said pill tome, why is there a Rubik’s Cube?”
Chu Kuangren muttered under his breath.
He had just finished his sentence when the Rubik’s Cube started to rotate. A flash of light then shot out from within, transforming into a kid that was about the size of a palm.
This kid looked just five or six years of age. He was wearing a dudou and had a short double braid. He looked very pink in health and his cheeks were chubby.
“Greeting, Master. The Vitality Pill Tome at your service.”
The little kid hovered in mid-air as he said to Chu Kuangren.
“You are… an item sprite?”
“I am the item sprite of the Vitality Pill Tome, and I’ve collected many alchemy methods since ancient times. Master, you can call me Tiny Tian.”
Tiny Tian revealed a smug look.
Chu Kuangren had not expected this.
He did not expect that there would be an item sprite in this Vitality Pill Tome. An item sprite was so rare that even an Emperor Weapon did not necessarily have one.
The only weapon he had seen that possessed a complete spiritual ego was the Descendant Self Sword, which was integrated with the Sword Soul. He could now add this Vitality Pill Tome to that collection.
“Tiny Tian, I intend to heal the spiritual mound. Can you help me with that?”
“Master, is your spiritual mound wounded?”
“No, I’m helping a friend.”
“Alright, no problem. I shall look for a way for you immediately.”
Tiny Tian then crept back inside the Rubik’s Cube. The whole cube started rotating in no time, and after a while, Tiny Tian crawled out of it once again.
“Master, I’ve found it!” Tiny Tian waved his arm and countless letters or symbols appeared in the space right in front of them. It was a type of pill recipe called the Soul-Healing Pill.
This pill was exactly what he needed to mend spiritual mound!
“Brilliant.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes glittered brightly.
He could not believe that the problem which bugged him for one whole night had been solved by Tiny Tian just like that. This Vitality Pill Tome was really too overpowered.
Oh no…
In fact, the Lucky Halo was the overpowered one instead.
It allowed him to draw this Vitality Pill Tome.
Chu Kuangren took a close look at the pill recipe and realized that he could find most of the herbs listed there. Only a few of them were quite a pain.
“Seven Colored Nebula Flower… This is a Sage-grade herb!”
“It’s gonna take me some time to search for that.”
Chu Kuangren mumbled. After recording down the pill recipe, he held the Vitality Pill Tome in his hand and played with it for a while.
From his perspective, this pill tome was exactly a Rubik’s Cube. The three-a-side design was almost identical to a Rubik’s cube.
There were six types of patterns, where each was spread across the nine little boxes on each face respectively.
“I can even play with this and solve it if I ever get bored.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled and kept it safely.
…
“Master, these are the information regarding the Blackstain Plumes.” Lan Yu had just fetched the papers from the Murong clan.
A stone-cold gaze released from Chu Kuangren’s eyes. “The Murong clan has already paid their price. It’s about time we deal with this Blackstain Plumes.”
Just as he had mentioned earlier, no one could escape scot-free after bullying one of Black Heaven Sect’s very own. So naturally, even Blackstain Plumes were not exempted.
After he read through the information, Chu Kuangren made a resolute decision deep in his heart.
“Come, let’s go to this Blackstain Plumes.”
Chu Kuangren said as he led Lan Yu down the Illusive Mirage.
When he arrived on the ground, many cultivators looked towards them as consternation filled their souls and their eyes revealed a sense of terror.
“Oh my, this gentleman sure looks handsome.” There were also some female cultivators who had a crush on him, unbeknownst to the horror he brought to the Murong clan.
Some cultivators beside them felt mixed emotions upon hearing that.
He was handsome.
However, this person was too scary!
The Murong clan’s two Sages were killed by him.
In the street, a look of hatred flashed across one black-robed cultivator’s eyes when he saw Chu Kuangren, and when he swept his glance across to Lan Yu next, his expression changed slightly. Then, he quickly dashed out of that place.
The black-robed cultivator came to a part of the street where there was nobody and took out a token. After that, ripples started to form in the space in front of him.
The black-robed cultivator hurriedly walked through it, and he eventually arrived at an eerie street. The surroundings of that street were incredibly dark, just like a ghost street.
Meanwhile, all the people on this street wore masks on their faces.
Similarly, the black-robed cultivator took out a mask and put it on before he dashed towards a palace at the end of the street.
Inside the palace, a cultivator with a menacing ghost-faced mask sat on the throne, reading through several ledgers.
These ledgers recorded all kinds of under-the-table businesses, which were, of course, businesses which the Blackstain Plumes relied on.
“Master Hui, Chu Kuangren has gotten down from the Fairy boat.”
Upon hearing that, their leader’s hands trembled.
“And?”
“He’s also accompanied by a lady, and they’re headed to Ghost Street as we speak.”
“Right, got it.”
“Ringleader, now that Chu Kuangren is coming to Ghost Street, shouldn’t we steer clear from him for the moment so that we don’t create any conflicts with him?”
“What is there to conflict about between us and him?”
Blackstain Plume’s ringleader said, unimpressed.
“But everyone out there is talking about how Chu Kuangren has uprooted the Murong clan, and that he did all that just for one of his juniors.”
“Oh? Interesting. I can’t believe Chu Kuangren is someone who will care for others. But does this have anything to do with us?”
The Blackstain Plume’s Ringleader still could not see the connection.
As such, that black-robed cultivator had no choice but to be blunt. “The disciple that I mentioned… I think it’s Murong Xuan, the person whom the Murong clan asked us to deal with some time ago.”
When he heard of that, Blackstain Plume’s Ringleader dropped one of the ledgers he was holding onto the floor. With disbelief, he demanded, “Repeat that again!”
“It’s Murong Xuan, the guy whom we crippled! He’s Chu Kuangren’s junior, and Chu Kuangren brought all this chaos to the Murong clan because of him.”
“Hurry, close off the Ghost Street right away! Arrange a Fairy boat for me. I need to leave this place at once.” The Blackstain Plume’s Ringleader was petrified.
He was not concerned that Chu Kuangren had wrecked the Murong clan because the businesses that he dealt with here were all under the radar. So no matter how messy things got between those sage orthodoxies, it did not concern him at all.
However, never had he once thought that things would connect back to them, the Blackstain Plumes!
Just as the Blackstain Plume’s Ringleader was about to make his escape, the whole Ghost Street suddenly quaked violently.
A crack began to form in the dark sky above Ghost Street, and years of unseen and blinding sunlight started to penetrate through and into Ghost Street.
People at Ghost Street looked up to the sky as their expressions changed.
“Ghost Street’s enchanted border has been breached!”
“Who is it?”
“What’s this? I can’t believe someone would dare to trespass the Ghost Street. Is this person planning to make an enemy of the demonic organizations of the entire Black Warrior Domain?”
“What kind of person is he? Such a daredevil.”
The crack in the sky became increasingly bigger, and eventually, it spread across the entire length of the sky. At the end of it, the dark sky instantly crumpled.
