refreshed from a night’s sleep, long chen went directly to the treasure tower region. that was the core region of pill yang prefecture.
“scram! if you don’t want to die, then get out of the way!”
suddenly, rumbling came from behind him. a huge carriage was speeding in his direction and was about to crash into him.
it was a six-horn bull, an early xiantian magical beast. it was three hundred meters long, and it was pulling an extremely imposing carriage without any restraint.
this was an official path set by the pill tower, and ordinary people wouldn’t even dare step onto it. long chen had originally been at the side, and he wasn’t at all in the way of someone rushing down the street. but the bull was still rushing straight toward him, so its master was obviously thinking of intentionally killing long chen.
“fuck, as expected, no matter where i go, i run into idiots.”
boom!
long chen extended a single hand and caught one of the bull’s horns. it immediately came to a sudden stop.
however, while the bull had stopped, eight figures shot out of the carriage from the inertia. they let out startled cries as they shot through the carriage and tumbled across the ground.
“where did this blind idiot come from?! do you want to die?!” a white-robed man crawled up from the ground and roared at long chen.
he had only just finished shouting when the sky darkened. a huge bull along with a carriage came smashing down on him, which caused him to turn green in fright. those people immediately scattered.
the six-horn bull fainted from the collision, and the grand carriage was blown to pieces. a powerful qi wave sent all those people flying.
“bastard, you are courting death! if you have any guts”
pow!
a large hand viciously slapped across that person’s face, directly breaking his jaw and making him vomit blood.
“try to keep your mouth cleaner.” long chen icily stared at them, not able to understand why these idiots would want to kill him.
he hadn’t released any of his aura, and he seemed just like an ordinary person. was this a case of indiscriminately attacking anyone they saw?
if it was that they found him displeasing to look at, long chen could accept that. but it was his back that had been facing them. could it be that his back was also displeasing to look at?
“who are you?! how dare you block pill tower’s disciples from registering! don’t you know that only disciples registering with the pill tower can walk on this path?!” raged one of them.
they were all xiantian experts, but their auras were exceedingly weak. now that one of them said this, long chen understood.
these people were alchemists, and alchemists had weak physical bodies just like soul cultivators. when they went out, they either used a carriage or a flying magical beast. it was no wonder just a single collision made them appear so miserable.
“this path is a route only disciples registering with the pill tower can use, so that’s why when you saw me walking on the side of the road, you wanted to kill me? because of the rule that only registering disciples can use this path, even if you kill someone breaking the rule, it’ll be fine? so directing your magical beast to crash into me was for amusement?” sneered long chen.
“so what?! this is pill yang prefecture, and all the rules are set up by the pill tower! you broke the rules, so even if we kill you, you deserve it!”
pow!
following the crowd, he eventually reached a large group of over a thousand people. there were young and old, large and small.
there was a black stone thirty meters tall ahead. ancient runes had been carved into the stone, and long chen didn’t know what it did.
in front of the black stone was an elder with a brush who was conducting some sort of registration.
“name?”
“zhu deyong.”
“origin?”
“yi prefecture’s alchemy guild.”
“take the test.”
after recording this information, he emotionlessly pointed to the stone. there was a small set of stairs for people to walk up to it.
when that person reached the stone, its countless runes lit up, bathing that person in light. ancient characters appeared on it.
the elder nodded. “eighty-seven years old meets the standard. next is the strength of your soul. press your hand on the red button and send in your spiritual strength.”
the registrant listened and placed his hand on the red button. a small portal appeared in front of him. that wasn’t a true portal, but just something for him to send his spiritual strength in.
buzz... a line of words appeared on the stone.
“first tier xuan class. disqualified.”
the elder drew a large ‘x’ over. that person could only sadly leave.
following that person’s failure, quite a few people’s hearts clenched. another person went up to take the test.
ten people took the test in a row. there were five fails and five passes. long chen saw that the requirements were that you had to be under one hundred years old and have reached the earth class in spiritual strength.
furthermore, if you passed, you would be given a ranking based on your age and soul energy. so far, the only rankings he had seen were acceptable and excellent.
as time passed, some failed and left. suddenly, long chen saw a familiar figure. wasn’t that the fellow he had viciously slapped?
this person also saw long chen lined up behind him. his group had long since started pointing at him with disdainful and provocative expressions. after being taught a lesson by long chen, they were planning on getting revenge here.
in his group, several people failed in a row. this test was not the same as their ordinary tests. they had passed the ordinary tests, but now that they came here, they were still washed out.
“name?” asked the elder again.
it had finally come to the turn of the person long chen had slapped. he confidently replied:
“gou jiba.”[1]
the elder’s expression immediately sank, and he slapped that person across the face. “fuck your mother! how dare you waste my time!”
