Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Scramble
Chapter 134: The Scramble
Shortly after, the surrounding forest finally dissipated, replaced by a seemingly endless sea of medicinal herbs. The area was filled with rare high-grade herbs, and the dense fragrance gathered in the sky, almost tangible.
Xiao Tian looked into the distance and saw a huge alchemy field at the center of the sea of herbs.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
As Xiao Tian moved forward, he collected every herb he encountered, using his powerful soul force to pick them at an incredible speed.
They harvested herbs as they made their way to the alchemy field, where they found numerous alchemy rooms. Opening one of the sealed doors revealed a flood of Nirvana Pills pouring out like a tide.
"Wow, millions of Nirvana Pills! We're rich!" Mo Ling exclaimed in delight. Despite being a prince, the entire royal family couldn't produce 200,000 Nirvana Pills, let alone millions.
"Let's hurry and collect everything before anyone else arrives," Xiao Tian said with a smile. Using his soul force, he quickly gathered the Nirvana Pills into his Qiankun bag. Following his lead, the others began opening alchemy rooms and gathering the pills.
Of course, they didn't search everywhere but made their way toward the deepest part of the alchemy field while collecting pills along the way. They moved quickly and soon arrived at the deepest part, where they found a huge and ancient alchemy room with intricate runes on its yellowed doors.
Xiao Tian pushed the door, but it didn't budge. Instead, it rebounded with a force that knocked him back.
Little Marten explained, "This kind of protective door will reflect any force back unless you can completely destroy it."
Xiao Tian extended his hand, and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol appeared, forming a black hole that began absorbing the energy from the runes.
"Bang!"
Soon, the runes disappeared, and the entire door crumbled to dust.
"Whoosh!"
With the door shattered, a large amount of alchemy energy erupted like a volcano, spreading rapidly. The alchemy energy rose into the sky like smoke, visible for miles.
"Hurry, follow me inside!" Xiao Tian shouted, dispersing the alchemy energy with a wave of his sleeve before darting into the alchemy room. The room was vast, with huge stone pillars standing tall, each adorned with various colored pills. The strange fragrance from the pills was invigorating, clearly not ordinary.
Xiao Tian's gaze fell on a silver pill. "A Nirvana Pill to aid in overcoming Nirvana Tribulation. The quality of these pills is excellent."
"Let's collect them quickly!" Xiao Tian wasted no time, extending his hand to grab the silver pill. The pill emitted alchemy energy, forming a humanoid figure to block his hand. But Xiao Tian, not being at the Nirvana stage, easily dispersed the alchemy energy and seized the pill.
He then moved like lightning, rapidly collecting the pills throughout the alchemy room. Finally, Xiao Tian arrived at the center of the room, where a black ancient stone pillar stood. Atop the pillar, a black and white pill, resembling a blend of yin and yang, quietly floated. Xiao Tian sensed a life-and-death aura from it.
"The Reincarnation Pill! I must have it!" Little Marten screamed in excitement.
As Xiao Tian prepared to take the pill, Little Marten warned, "Wait, don't rush. There might be a life-and-death ring!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian hesitated. In that brief moment, several people rushed in and saw the Reincarnation Pill. This pill, which could grant a second life, ignited their greed. Some recognized Xiao Tian but believed their numbers could overwhelm him, so they attacked.
Xiao Tian stepped back, and some attackers diverted their focus to the Reincarnation Pill. As their hands neared the pill, a strange force caused their arms to wither and decay, spreading rapidly to their bodies.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
They decisively severed their arms to stop the decay, leaving everyone too terrified to approach further.
"No wonder it's one of the Four Great Mystical Sects. They even have a Reincarnation Pill!" a red-robed man said as he appeared in the room. A bloody scent wafted from him, indicating the numerous souls he had taken.
"Blood Wolf Tian Zhen?"
Seeing the newcomer, the crowd's expressions turned serious. Tian Zhen was one of the four great overlords of the northwest region, known for his strength.
Tian Zhen glanced at Xiao Tian. "You must be the one who destroyed the Mo Yan Dynasty?"
Xiao Tian replied indifferently, "What of it? Are you here to avenge them?"
Tian Zhen, only at the second Nirvana stage, would be as easy to kill as an ant to Xiao Tian.
"No one has dared speak to me like that for a long time!" Tian Zhen grinned viciously, baring his teeth. He stomped the ground and charged at Xiao Tian like a waking beast, transforming into a red light.
"Ten Thousand Wolves Army-Breaking Fist!"
His powerful attack, shaped like thousands of wolves, surged toward Xiao Tian with a fierce aura.
"Humph!" Xiao Tian opened his mouth and spat out a strange black flame. The flame expanded with the wind, emitting intense heat that distorted the surrounding space.
"Puff!"
The black flame engulfed the wolf-shaped energy, burning it to nothing in an instant. The flame then swept towards Tian Zhen.
"Nirvana Demon Flame?!"
Seeing the black flame, Tian Zhen's arrogance vanished. Like a mouse before a cat, he fled in terror. The Nirvana Demon Flame was lethal even to third-stage Nirvana cultivators, let alone him.
"Gulp!"
The onlookers, seeing Xiao Tian control the Nirvana Demon Flame, broke into a cold sweat. The flame was their nemesis, capable of inflicting severe injury or death with just a touch.
Ignoring their fear, Xiao Tian remained enveloped in the Nirvana Demon Flame as he approached the Reincarnation Pill. A purple-black light shield, created by Little Marten, protected him from the life-and-death ring as he grabbed the Reincarnation Pill.
