Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 275 - 169: Bestowing Qi, Assault on the Fake Pill!

Not long after, within the Celestial Soul Hall, inside a dark and eerie great hall.

"Are you saying that our hall has lost a total of four Foundation Establishment Elders, and one of them was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage?" In the great hall, the young-looking Golden Silkworm reclined on a large golden chair, propping his face with his left hand, his expression indifferent, his tone devoid of any ripples.

"Yes, Supreme Elder, and because the four Elders fell in the outer regions of the Langya Spirit Realm, it is difficult to determine the true cause of their deaths." Tian Hunzi stood in the great hall, reporting to the Golden Silkworm with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Then, what about the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi? I heard that this time the Langya Spirit Realm produced a Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, is that true? Did you manage to bring it back?" Golden Silkworm asked again.

Tian Hunzi’s forehead broke out in fine, cold sweat: "Supreme Elder, the Langya Spirit Realm did indeed produce a strand of Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, but I did not bring it back, however, this is due to certain reasons..."

"Situ Jiang of the Wind Moon Sect invested heavily for this trip to the Langya Spirit Realm, I’m not sure how many Tier Two Top Grade Talismans he brought out from the Wind Moon Sect’s Treasure Vault. Even though I had a Talisman Treasure, I ultimately couldn’t withstand the overwhelming onslaught of Tier Two Top Grade Talismans and thus was forced to withdraw from the competition for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi..."

"Well done, so it seems, that the strand of Celestial Spirit Gang Qi was very likely obtained by the Wind Moon Sect?" Golden Silkworm’s expression turned icy, and he gazed at Tian Hunzi, the immense pressure causing Tian Hunzi to sweat profusely on his back.

"I dare not hide it from Supreme Elder, I contacted the people from the Valley of Myriad Beasts and the Profound Pill Sect. Based on the information currently collected, that Celestial Spirit Gang Qi should have been taken by Situ Jiang. However, given how hastily Situ Jiang acted regarding the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi during this trip to the Langya Spirit Realm, I suspect that the Profound Sword True Master is probably as good as fallen." Tian Hunzi slightly lowered his head, cupping his hands as he spoke.

"You’ve really disappointed me." Golden Silkworm coldly stared at Tian Hunzi, a hint of murderous intent flashing across him.

However, since Tian Hunzi was the only one at Foundation Establishment Perfection and the Sect Leader of this hall, it was naturally impossible to kill him so easily, so some punishment would suffice.

"Hand over the Talisman Treasure and then go to the bottom of Black Soul Cliff for three months." Golden Silkworm extended his hand toward Tian Hunzi, saying.

Hearing the words Black Soul Cliff, Tian Hunzi’s body trembled slightly, as if he had heard of a place even he feared, yet he dared not show any dissatisfaction. He merely took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, "Yes."

Then, with a stroke of his Qiankun Bag at his side, his palm produced a Celestial Dragon Ancient Bronze Bell Talisman Treasure. At this moment, the light of the ancient bronze bell depicted in the center of the Talisman Treasure had dimmed somewhat, apparently due to the consumption of part of its energy, though the remaining energy could still be utilized.

Golden Silkworm beckoned, drawing the Celestial Dragon Ancient Bronze Bell Talisman Treasure into his palm, then watched with a cold gaze as Tian Hunzi’s back disappeared from the great hall, his face growing increasingly impatient and agitated.

"This Tian Hunzi is truly useless, he can’t accomplish anything!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"However, his conjecture is indeed quite possible. Situ Jiang was too impatient, so the Profound Sword True Master is likely as good as fallen. Should I make an appearance and descend upon the Wind Moon Sect?"

Golden Silkworm squinted slightly, a contemplative expression flickered across his face, hesitating somewhat.

...

Wind Moon Sect.

Qi Chuan spent a day in his Tier Two Middle Grade Cave Mansion in a remote area of the Inner Sect, sorting through the spirit grass materials, demon beast materials, Qiankun Bag, and the cultivation resources within it from the Langya Spirit Realm, until he received a message from Situ Jiang the day after.

Then he immediately headed to Wind Moon Lake, the Sect Leader’s Island.

Before long, in the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion on Sect Leader’s Island, he met Situ Jiang.

"Master, what was the final outcome of our sect’s expedition to the Langya Spirit Realm?"

The two sat across from each other at a stone table, Qi Chuan sipped some Spirit Tea, then spoke, asking.

"We lost one person, Elder Zhang San hasn’t appeared to this day, but the other seven Foundation Establishment Middle and Late Stage Elders have all returned to the sect." Situ Jiang said slowly.

Qi Chuan fell slightly silent.

Normally, once someone obtained the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, the Langya Spirit Realm space would tremble, and Elder Zhang San, regardless of where he was trapped, would be transported out.

And once transported out, Elder Zhang San would surely swiftly return to the sect; now that he has yet to return for so long, it is clear something went awry.

Either he fell within the Langya Spirit Realm, or after being transported out, he encountered a formidable person from the Celestial Soul Hall on his way back and was killed.

Whatever the situation, it is clearly ominous.

"However, the extent of our sect’s losses is already the best among the Five Sects, part of which is due to some good fortune, and most importantly, we’ve obtained the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi! Elder Zhang San’s sacrifice was worthwhile!" Situ Jiang stated.

Qi Chuan nodded.

In the Wind Moon Sect, there is a set of rules where figures like Elder Zhang San will be remembered as meritorious individuals in the sect’s history, and his achievements will extend to his descendants. Matters such as these will be handled properly by his master.

Then, Situ Jiang stroked his Qiankun Bag at his side, and a Five-Colored Flower Basket appeared in his hand. On the basket, five-colored lights interwove, locking within a mass of milky white liquid resembling a living organism.

"This is the most important Celestial Spirit Gang Qi." Situ Jiang gazed at the mass of milky white liquid, even allowing a hint of longing to fill his eyes.
