Immortality System: Cultivating with Girls-Chapter 83 - 81: I Can Let the Sect Off Lightly
At this moment, the Wonderous Palace was in utter chaos.
Under normal circumstances, each peak would be guarded by an Elder. But at a time like this, who would stay to guard? One misstep, and the Wonderous Palace could be annihilated.
The alchemists from Pill Refining Peak had no heart for alchemy. All of them floated into the air, their gazes fixed on the direction of Soul Devouring Peak. The Elders mustered their courage and cautiously moved a bit closer. The rest were behind them, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"The Palace Master and the others won’t be defeated, will they?" someone murmured secretly, even contemplating escape.
Over the years, the number of powerhouses in the Righteous Sun Sect had grown. The pressure on them was also immense.
Meanwhile, Wen Zhixing took advantage of the distraction and, under the cover of darkness, stealthily entered an alchemy room. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The alchemy room was empty. Only some spiritual medicines and finished elixirs were laid out. Wen Zhixing didn’t even glance at them. He simply swept his hand and gathered all the items into his Storage Belt.
This is no good. The space in the Storage Belt is too small, merely one cubic meter. There’s not much room for anything significant. I need to upgrade it first.
The next moment, he identified another problem. The small storage space hadn’t been an issue before, but now it was unacceptable. Fortunately, Wen Zhixing had been saving his Fortune Points, and he had enough for an upgrade.
"Upgrade the Storage Belt."
[You have spent 10 Fortune Points to start upgrading the Storage Belt (Gray Quality).]
[Upgrade complete. You have obtained a Spiritual Instrument: Universe Belt!]
[Universe Belt: White Quality. It possesses a storage space of twenty cubic meters and is capable of storing living beings for a short period. It also has a camouflage feature, making it indistinguishable from a normal belt on usual days.]
[The owner cannot enter the Universe Belt.]
[Spend one hundred Fortune Points to upgrade to Blue Quality.]
[Current Fortune Points: 42.]
Being able to briefly store living beings, now that’s not bad. Wen Zhixing nodded in satisfaction, then quickly resumed his rapid harvesting.
Meanwhile, his mouth wasn’t idle either. He grabbed a handful of elixirs and poured them directly into his mouth, indifferent to their uses, whether they were good or bad, or even if they were poison. Before he could even taste them, the Purgatory Furnace within his body activated, rapidly melting and devouring them, transforming them into the purest Spiritual Qi.
The consumption of these finished elixirs was exceptionally swift. Wen Zhixing’s complexion suddenly reddened; he could feel the Spiritual Qi inside his body rapidly increasing. The sensation was akin to floating towards ecstasy.
Soon, one alchemy room was completely scoured clean by him. Before leaving, Wen Zhixing glanced at the alchemy furnace, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
[Alchemy Furnace (Spiritual Instrument)]: Gray Quality. It is an alchemy furnace forged from over a hundred kinds of special ores. With unstable flame control, it usually produces elixirs of average quality, and the probability of producing high-level elixirs is extremely low.
This thing is also a Spiritual Instrument. Burn it. Wen Zhixing immediately released a Purgatory Fire, melting it down. His Purgatory Furnace had already devoured a number of Spiritual Instruments, and the might of its flames had grown considerably. Despite the size of this alchemy furnace, it was, after all, merely Gray Quality. In no time at all, it melted completely, and Wen Zhixing swallowed it in one gulp.
Next one. Wen Zhixing contentedly patted his chest—no, wrong place—he patted his lower abdomen as if he had just burped satisfyingly. After that, he stealthily moved into the next alchemy room.
With the experience from the first room, his speed was even faster this time. In just a short while, he scavenged everything clean from the inside. Alchemy furnaces were melted. Elixirs and spiritual herbs were either eaten or stored away.
Quickly, the time it took to drink a cup of tea passed. The alchemy rooms here had been almost fully looted by Wen Zhixing.
[Your Spiritual Qi cultivation has increased. Current realm: Qi Movement Realm Level Five.]
The Purgatory Furnace blazed fiercely, melting everything, and his Spiritual Qi cultivation also rapidly rose. And inside his Universe Belt, the harvest of uneaten elixirs and spiritual herbs grew even more plentiful.
BOOM!
Just then, over in the direction of Soul Devouring Peak, the intense battle continued to rage. Si Nanyan had finally emerged from seclusion, soaring up from the secret chamber.
"Hahaha, Si Nanyan, you’ve finally come out." Wang Shiyang and Xu An were naturally overjoyed, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks like a violent storm.
"Damn it!" Si Nanyan’s face was pale, her aura somewhat feeble. It seemed as if she had just failed a breakthrough, and her condition was extremely poor.
"Palace Master!" Everyone from the Wonderous Palace was captivated by this scene, fearing that Si Nanyan might be in trouble.
Only Wen Zhixing glanced once before slipping away. He was well aware of the prowess of the demonesses of the Wonderous Palace. They are currently plotting something nefarious. Those fools from the Righteous Sun Sect still think they control everything. If it weren’t for the Righteous Sun Sect’s slightly greater raw power, they would have long since been outmaneuvered by these calculating demonesses.
Not my business. Wen Zhixing glanced at the group of concerned faces above and quickly walked in another direction.
Within Pill Refining Peak, there was also a dedicated pill room where many more elixirs were stored. He couldn’t let this opportunity pass.
...
Before long, Wen Zhixing arrived inside the pill room. This pill room was very similar to the Array Hall; only, instead of array methods, rows of elixirs were lined up.
Just as Wen Zhixing was about to enter, he sensed something was amiss.
Is this a prohibition? His expression stiffened slightly. He had never been to this pill room and didn’t expect a prohibition to exist here.
Miscalculation. Wen Zhixing frowned. He didn’t know how to break any prohibition. If he tried to force his way through, he would surely be discovered.
Just as Wen Zhixing was growing disappointed, he suddenly heard a faint rustling noise from within the pill room.
Someone? Wen Zhixing was taken aback. That’s not right. At this time, everyone in the Wonderous Palace is preoccupied with the major battle. How could there possibly be someone in the pill room?
A fellow thief? The thought suddenly flashed through Wen Zhixing’s mind. It must be! Who else but a fellow thief would be in the pill room at a time like this!
He turned his head and saw that in a nearby corner, a breach had actually appeared in the prohibition, large enough for a person to enter.
Wen Zhixing’s mind raced, and he slipped directly through the breach. He immediately called out in a low voice, "Who’s there! Come out!"
The entire pill room suddenly fell silent. The figure inside also froze abruptly, clearly not expecting anyone else to come to the pill room at such a time.
"Won’t you come out?" Wen Zhixing hummed softly again. In fact, he hummed very softly, afraid of being overheard by those outside. Fortunately, the continuous booming noises of the battle outside ensured that no one noticed the sounds from within the pill room.
"It’s me, it’s me." The next moment, a rather disheveled figure emerged.
Wen Zhixing was stunned. Isn’t this Shen Lingjun, the one who concocted the Nirvana Elixir for me?
"Senior Sister Ning?" Upon seeing Wen Zhixing, Shen Lingjun was also startled. She also hadn’t expected ’Ning Shan’ to appear here.
Wen Zhixing didn’t immediately acknowledge Shen Lingjun but first scanned the surroundings. He instantly understood the situation. The elixirs within this pill room, originally protected by prohibitions, were now all exposed, and many had disappeared. Seeing this, his expression darkened abruptly.
Wen Zhixing’s thin lips parted, his voice ringing out as clear as a bell, "Shen Lingjun, at a time like this, you dare to steal the sect’s elixirs! You’ve got some nerve!"
"Senior Sister, I—I was wrong!" Shen Lingjun’s face paled drastically, no longer caring why Ning Shan had appeared here.
"Humph, hand over the elixirs you just took!" Wen Zhixing’s expression turned stern, and he called out again, "I can get the sect to be lenient!"
