Chapter 558: Divine Nourishment Pill Did Yun Yun Get Into Trouble?
While the rest of the world was still caught up in the excitement of the Pill Gathering, Xiao Yan was drowning in worry.
He had another Heavenly Flame in his possession.
Even though it wasn't ranked on the Heavenly Flame List, it was still a Heavenly Flame.
And every single time he obtained one
Something terrible always happened.
This time… what would it be?
Even if he wanted to hand it over voluntarily, he had no chance to do so.
After the Pill Gathering ended, Wu Tian completely vanished from public sight.
No one knew where he had gone.
Even Xiao Yan himself had no idea.
Of course, he could already guess.
That man was always busy…
If not with other things, then simply handling his countless women was enough to keep him occupied.
Unlike Wu Tian
Xiao Yan spent every single night alone, trapped in solitude like a resentful widow longing for a husband who never returned home.
And now, after refining such a powerful pill, he felt even emptier than any of the other contestants.
With the Pill Gathering over, the city remained in a state of celebration.
But the alchemists
Exhausted from an entire month of refining pills
Collapsed into their beds like corpses, falling asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.
And among them, Xiao Yan was the most exhausted of all.
Although he hadn't refined an eighth-tier pill like the others,
The pill he did refine had drained every ounce of his soul power and devoured his stored Heavenly Flame energy.
His mind and body were utterly spent.
So, the moment he returned to his quarters
He blacked out.
Meanwhile, on the other side
Wu Tian was having the time of his life.
After all, he was the champion.
And though winning meant nothing to him
It was a great excuse for others to shower him with rewards.
So…
The night had been very "eventful".
The next morning
Wu Tian emerged from his room with a relaxed smile.
Cai Lin and the others were still resting inside.
After all, they had been through a lot last night.
Refining eighth-tier pills was exhausting.
But Wu Tian
Was completely refreshed.
Just as he stepped out
A system notification rang in his mind:
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have refined an eighth-tier Nourishment Pill and received the system reward: Divine Nourishment Pill!]
Last night, he had already given this Divine Nourishment Pill to Cai Lin.
Of course
This Divine Nourishment Pill was a higher-level version of the eighth-tier Nourishment Pill he had refined before.
But after Cai Lin consumed it,
She didn't feel much of an effect immediately.
After all
The pill's true effects were meant for the baby inside her.
Its full benefits wouldn't be revealed until she gave birth.
But still
Even now, her strength and endurance had already increased significantly.
As Wu Tian led Cai Lin outside,
They were met with a small crowd waiting for them.
Xiao Yi Xian, elegant and ethereal as always.
Zi Yan, looking grumpy as she popped candies into her mouth.
Tian Huo Zun-zhe, standing firm with a solemn expression.
Yao Tian Huo, the ever-watchful guardian.
And finally
Xiong Zhan, the mighty Bear General from the Dragon Clan.
Wu Tian wasn't surprised to see them here.
After all
They were the ones who had delivered the corpses from the Hall of Souls.
"You finally came out," Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile as she approached Cai Lin.
"How do you feel, sister Cai Lin?"
Hearing this, Cai Lin's icy expression softened, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
She recalled how, just last night, she had…
Well, let's just say she "tested" the pill's effects very thoroughly.
"Apart from strengthening my body, I didn't feel much of a difference," Cai Lin replied calmly.
Xiao Yi Xian's bright eyes gleamed knowingly as she smiled.
She didn't need Cai Lin to explain any further.
Everything was already clear.
Wu Tian, on the other hand, ignored the awkwardness and turned toward Yao Tian Huo and Xiong Zhan.
"You're all here so early," he said, raising an eyebrow.
"Something happened?"
But before either of them could respond
Zi Yan scoffed and crossed her arms.
"You're asking why we're here? Hmph!"
"You made me leave first, and then you completely ignored me!"
"I even brought Bing He back to the sect, and when I came to find you "
"You were too busy fooling around!"
Wu Tian: "Cough, cough!"
He felt a little awkward at having his activities from the previous night exposed so blatantly.
It was NOT fooling around it was important research!
Luckily
Yao Tian Huo and Xiong Zhan knew how to read the situation.
They immediately turned to each other
And pretended to be very busy discussing a sparring match.
"Xiong Zhan, I hear you're quite powerful. Shall we have a duel someday?"
"Of course! I've always wanted to test myself against the great Tian Huo Zun-zhe!"
"Just don't use your flames against me, alright?"
Wu Tian sighed.
At least his subordinates knew when to act appropriately.
"Alright," Wu Tian said, waving a hand.
"Enough with the small talk what happened?"
Hearing this, Yao Tian Huo stepped forward.
"A message arrived from the Cai Lin Pavilion," he reported.
"Nalan Yanran has arrived."
Wu Tian's eyes narrowed.
"Did something happen to Yun'er?"
Yao Tian Huo nodded.
"Yes. But… it's complicated."
Wu Tian's expression darkened.
He hated when people dragged out explanations.
Rather than waste time listening
He simply raised a hand.
With a flick of his sleeve, a spatial tunnel opened before them.
As a Dou Saint, he could travel through space freely.
But this particular space passage had already been permanently established between the Pill Tower and Cai Lin Pavilion.
With Dan Tower's approval, of course.
It was a strategic measure, ensuring that if the Hall of Souls ever attacked, reinforcements could arrive instantly.
At this point, the Pill Tower trusted Wu Tian completely.
After all
Their fates were now intertwined.
If they didn't support Wu Tian in resisting the Hall of Souls,
Then alone, they would surely be destroyed.
Rather than wait for Yao Tian Huo to slowly explain
Wu Tian stepped forward without hesitation.
"Forget it. I'll go see for myself."
Grabbing Cai Lin's hand, he strode into the portal.
Yao Tian Huo stood there awkwardly, watching them disappear.
"...I was going to explain..."
He sighed.
"It's not like I wanted to keep secrets…"
"It's just… shouldn't they be the ones to tell him, not me?"
With no other choice, the rest of the group followed Wu Tian into the portal.
And just like that
In mere seconds, they vanished from the Holy Pill City.
Unbeknownst to everyone else in the city
Wu Tian had already left.
Not even two days had passed
And he was gone.
