Hearing Ye Chu say it concerned the prince’s safety, the elder’s expression finally became somewhat grave. “What medicinal ingredients do you need? I will go in and fetch them for you. Non elders are not allowed to enter the pill room!”
“Good! In the west left direction of the pill room, there is a purple gourd filled with pills. Fetch it out to heal the prince!” Ye Chu lied randomly.
The elder nodded and quickly stepped into the pill room, but he came out not long after, frowning at Ye Chu. “There is no purple gourd in the west left direction. Tell me what pills the elders asked you to fetch, and I will get them.”
“Ah…” Ye Chu said in great anxiety. “The elders did not say anything else, just to fetch that purple gourd. Elder, please go and get it quickly. His Royal Highness cannot hold on much longer.”
Hearing Ye Chu’s words, the elder frowned slightly. “There is no purple gourd in there. Are you sure you did not remember it wrong?”
“This concerns the life of His Royal Highness. How could I possibly remember it wrong? Elder, please go in and look again. You must find it, otherwise His Royal Highness…” Ye Chu said urgently.
Hearing Ye Chu say this, the elder let out a soft breath and said to him, “Come in with me. Let us go and see if we can find the purple gold gourd there.”
Ye Chu was secretly delighted, but showed nothing on his face. He nodded and said, “Then please take me in, Elder. We must find the purple gourd quickly, as the elders are still waiting.”
As Ye Chu and the other walked in, the other two elders in the pill room saw this and scolded with frowns. “Old Eighteen, why are you bringing an outsider into the pill room? Have you forgotten the rules of the pill room?”
“Matters have their urgencies, and I had no choice. They need a certain pill from the pill room,” the elder replied. “I could not find it, so I could only bring him in. His Royal Highness is still waiting!”
Hearing the elder say this, the few of them finally nodded, signalling Ye Chu to quickly find the pill.
Ye Chu nodded and pretended to search for the purple gourd. His steps brought him closer and closer to the three people surrounding the pill furnace.
“Have you found it?” the elder who brought Ye Chu in scolded. “Find it quickly and send it to His Royal Highness!”
“Found it!” Ye Chu suddenly smiled. This smile caused the three elders’ expressions to change drastically. As they realised what was happening and were about to act, they felt an old vine wrap around their entire bodies. Their bodies were invaded by evil aura and corroded away in an instant.
The three of them quickly turned into white bones, lying in front of the pill furnace without making a single sound.
Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on the corners of Ye Chu’s mouth. With his current Xuanhua realm strength, as long as he got close to them, they were doomed. Of course, the reason he could resolve them so quickly with the evil aura was also due to their complete lack of vigilance.
Seeing the three skeletons lying on the ground, Ye Chu danced his evil aura, corroding the white bones completely clean. He then tidied up the scene, making it seem as though nothing had happened.
The remaining evil aura in the space was also completely cleared away by Ye Chu. It was as if nothing had ever happened.
After doing all this, Ye Chu finally looked around the pill room. There were quite a few gourds in it. Ye Chu casually opened them, and they were all filled with pills.
“Fengling Pill. It is rumoured that taking one allows a cultivator to instantly enter the Spirit Entry realm. Subsequent cultivation can also be accelerated with the help of the pill. However, after taking this kind of pill, one can only cultivate up to the King realm at most. Further progress is impossible.”
Ye Chu looked at the gourd of pills in his hand, feeling surprised. This was an extremely precious pill. It was naturally useless to them, but for those mundane people, it was a supreme treasure, as they would find it difficult to reach the King realm even if they tried their entire lives.
“Wood Fire Pill. Wood urges fire to move. It can help cultivators train their physique with extraordinary effects. It is of great use to cultivators below the Xuanhua realm!”
“Concentrated Essence Pill! Taking one is equivalent to the amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy a Royal realm cultivator swallows in three months!”
“…”
Ye Chu looked at the bottles of pills, feeling endlessly excited in his heart. He thought that it was indeed worthy of being a sacred land. The foundation was truly profound. Every single one of these pills was incredibly precious. Although they had not reached the supreme grade level, if taken outside, they would be things that could make people fight themselves crazy for them.
Ye Chu naturally would not be polite and swept all these pills away clean. The people of the Rain Mist Sacred Land would never dream in their wildest dreams that someone would dare to come to their mountain to snatch pills.
Ye Chu did not even know the value of these countless pills. Anyway, he left not a single one behind and took them all for himself. He thought that if these were given to the Imperial Palace, it would be enough to make the cultivators of the Imperial Palace go crazy. Moreover, many of these pills were of great use to him.
After looting the pills completely, Ye Chu finally turned his gaze to the pill furnace. This time, Wuxin Peak had spent a lot of effort, even finding demon spirit herbs, all for the sake of the Beauty Nourishing Pill.
He just did not know if the Beauty Nourishing Pills in the furnace had succeeded.
But thinking that he could not stay here for long, Ye Chu gritted his teeth, waved his arm, and threw the pill furnace wide open. As the furnace opened wide, a terrifying heat wave rushed out. This heat wave naturally could do nothing to Ye Chu, but just as it rushed out, Ye Chu heard a cracking sound.
“It is over. The Beauty Nourishing Pills are ruined!” Ye Chu smiled bitterly, having also guessed this outcome. How difficult it was to refine the Beauty Nourishing Pill. One mistake and it was completely ruined. Opening the furnace wide at this moment was exactly that mistake.
But just as Ye Chu was sighing, more than a dozen pills flashing with seven coloured radiance slowly floated out of the furnace.
Ye Chu was overjoyed looking at these dozen or so pills, unable to believe it. “Beauty Nourishing Pills!”
“They were not actually all ruined!” Ye Chu instantly understood. The Beauty Nourishing Pills were already at the stage of forming. If Ye Chu could have waited a few more days, perhaps all the Beauty Nourishing Pills would have succeeded. But he could not wait, and these dozen or so were the ones that had already succeeded. Although the majority of the Beauty Nourishing Pills were damaged, a small portion had already formed before this.
“Fortunately, having more than ten is enough.” Ye Chu smiled and used his power to guide these pills into a jade bottle. There were actually as many as sixteen of them.
“Getting these and using them sparingly should be enough. As for the rest that were ruined, let them be ruined.” Ye Chu laughed. It was better than leaving them for the Rain Mist Sacred Land.
Ye Chu put away all these pills. After checking the pill room once more to confirm there were no pills left, he carefully left.
The defences of the Rain Mist Sacred Land were very strict, but this meant nothing to Ye Chu. Ye Chu returned to the herb room and continued picking herbs.
At the same time, Ye Chu secretly laughed in his heart, wondering what the situation would be like when the Rain Mist Sacred Land discovered their pills had been stolen.
While picking herbs, the two disciples with Ye Chu could not help but ask in confusion, “Junior Brother Bai Ye, what are you secretly laughing about all by yourself?”
“Ah! Nothing. I was just thinking of a senior sister I saw a few days ago. Her jade-like body was tall and straight. She was truly stunning. How wonderful it would be if I could marry her as my wife!”
Ye Chu’s words made the two of them agree deeply, and they both nodded.
