Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1204: Refine Golden Pills

The second young master’s eyes were dark, and his body was slightly trembling.

Ou Yangming clearly did not regard him as anything and did not even intend to find an excuse. The young master did not reveal his family name, but he also said that it was the Governor’s Residence that was handling the matter.

The young fellow’s attitude meant that he treated the Governor’s Residence lightly.

In Starlight City, ignoring the governor’s prestige had been rare. It was rare to see such a bold and reckless person.

The second young master’s malicious gaze swept across everyone before he shouted coldly, “Men, take them down!”

“Yes!”

The city guards dressed in black armor rushed out, lifted the swords on their waists, and charged toward the entrance of the villa.

With that, the 8 guards of the Yangming Villa also took a step forward and attacked in unison. As they engaged in a chaotic battle, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.

As the inner sect disciples of the Seven Stars Pavilion, how could they regard the guards of Starlight City as anything? The Seven Stars Pavilion had countless small cities.

These city guards were considered elites, and most of them were Venerable Ones in the early stage. The older captain was a top-grade Venerable One.

Nonetheless, compared to the inner sect disciples of the Seven Stars Pavilion, they were still too far apart whether it was in terms of level or cultivation technique.

Sword-lights flickered.

Each of the guards of the mountain villa held a Good Grade magic weapon. The sturdy armors of the black-armored soldiers were as fragile as tofu.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Soon, this large group of elite city guards fell to the ground.

Numerous wounds appeared on their bodies. Their blood dripped onto their armor and turned dark brown. One by one, they fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

“So powerful!”

The spectators in the distance widened their eyes. They did not expect the city guards to be defeated so quickly.

“So what if they’re powerful? They dare to attack the city guards. Even if they have a strong backer, they won’t have a place to stay in Starlight City. If they don’t have a powerful backer…”

Everyone understood the meaning behind it. Attacking the city guards was undoubtedly challenging the ruler of Starlight City. If the guards did not have a powerful backer to protect them, they would end miserably.

“B*stards, You’re Courting Death!”

The second young master’s body was trembling with anger. He originally planned to send people to charge in and directly take down Bai Cong. He did not think that these people would really dare to attack his guards. Moreover, they attacked the guards so heavily.

These subordinates of his did not seem to be in mortal danger, but they would probably need to recuperate for a while before they could recover.

“Lord Wu.” The second young master raised his head and looked at the old man beside him.

This old man had the strength of an early-stage Ruler and was also the strongest person by the second young master’s side.

Lord Wu glanced at Ou Yangming then retracted his gaze and said, “Second Young Master, forget it. I think there might be some misunderstanding.”

“We’ll leave first!” The second young master’s heart skipped a beat, and he understood the meaning behind it.

The black-armored soldiers on the ground supported each other as they stood up and left dejectedly.

“Those people from the Governor’s Residence have left.”

The surrounding people were slightly disappointed. They had wanted to see how the powerhouses around the second young master would resolve this matter. They had not expected him to leave so quickly.

“This matter won’t end so easily. The second young master has suffered a loss this time. The people who will come next time will be even more formidable,” a spectator said in a deep voice.

A few streets away.

The second young master’s face was as gloomy as ink. He looked at the person beside him and asked, “Lord Wu, why did you say that just now?”

With a grave look, the old man explained, “Second Young Master, that young man’s strength isn’t simple. Even I might not be his match. If he had made a move just now, your safety wouldn’t be guaranteed.”

The second young master was surprised. “That young fella’s that strong?”

Lord Wu said, “I can’t tell how strong he is. I just feel that he should be very strong. Besides, he has 8 guards who are top-grade Venerable Ones. I reckon that he himself is also a Ruler. Other than that, the weapons in the guards’ hands aren’t bad. They might have some background. It’s better to go back and make a long-term plan.”

“So many people saw us today. If we can’t get rid of them, I’m afraid many people will laugh at the Governor’s Residence,” the second young master said in a deep voice.

Lord Wu pondered for a moment and responded, “We can forgive them for covering up for Bai Cong, but they’ve injured so many of our people. There’s absolutely no way to resolve that. We’d better report this matter to the governor first. I believe that the governor won’t let them have it easy.”

“It’d be great if the Blood Massacre Guards took action,” the second young master said coldly.

“This can only depend on the governor’s attitude. After all, the Blood Massacre Guards can only be used by the governor alone.”

They hurriedly left and returned to the Governor’s Residence. In front of the gate of the Yangming Villa, the bloodstains left on the ground had been washed clean, and the smell of blood was covered by the fragrance of flowers.

It looked very quiet, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

Ou Yangming sat in the corner of the garden, sipping his tea. His heart was calm. If the people of the Governor’s Residence came again, he would not show mercy. The Governor’s Residence was a good place. If he stepped on them, no one would have the courage to provoke him anymore.

Bai Cong stood at the side. No one knew what he was thinking. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, “If the Governor’s Residence forces you too hard, Master, you’d better hand me over.”

“Haha.” Ou Yangming smiled. “Don’t worry. I promised to protect you, so I won’t go back on my word. What can the small Starlight City do? Stay by my side, and I’ll let you see the wider world.”

Bai Cong’s eyes flashed with a touch of gratitude. In the past few months, he had seen the warmth and coldness of human relationships. A few of his brothers had betrayed him because he had offended the Governor’s Residence. Only Ou Yangming valued him so much that he did not hesitate to become enemies with the Governor’s Residence.

He remembered such kindness in his heart. The only thing he could repay was to take care of the villa so that the master would not have to waste his energy on small matters.

Bai Cong left the garden to do his work. He had just arrived here, so there were still many things he needed to understand.

Ou Yangming stayed in the garden for a few hours before slowly walking back to the secret room used for cultivation.

“It’s time to try refining the Golden Pills.”

Taking out the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, Ou Yangming was also slightly excited. He had worked hard for so long. Was it not all for this moment?

Of course, what Ou Yangming refined would not be the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. Unless he was stupid, he would not do such a crazy thing without any experience.

Whether it was the Three Revolutions Golden Pill, the Five Revolutions Golden Pill, or the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, the refining methods were all the same with only the difference in the degree of difficulty.

The first thing Ou Yangming planned to try was the Three Revolutions Golden Pill. A Three Revolutions Golden Pill could allow a top-grade Spiritualist to have a very high chance of breaking through to become a Venerable One. In the Great Wide World, it could also be considered a divine medicine.

What was the most frightening thing about cultivation? Was it not a bottleneck? If there was such a pill that could break through the bottleneck, would one need to worry about one’s future?

The reason geniuses were geniuses was that their physiques and comprehension abilities far exceeded that of ordinary people. For them, the bottleneck that ordinary people could not break through became a little easier.

If the Golden Pills were widespread in the Great Wide World, would geniuses be so valuable? The answer was that they would still be valuable, but their importance to a sect had been greatly reduced.

Purple flames surged out.

Ou Yangming carefully controlled his own flames according to the records in the Crimson Ruler’s Alchemy Book. There were a lot of materials. A large part of the points that the young fellow had obtained in the ruins had been exchanged for spiritual herbs to refine Golden Pills.

The steps to refine Golden Pills were very cumbersome. Compared to other pills, the refining method was more difficult.

Ou Yangming was neither anxious nor impatient. He tried his best to make every step as perfect as possible.

There was a burnt smell coming from the cauldron. Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He failed the first time, but he did not lose confidence in himself.

After all, this was his first time refining it. The Golden Pill was a heaven-defying elixir invented by the Crimson Ruler while he was alive. How could it be simple?

Soon, Ou Yangming began the second time.

After learning from the previous lesson, Ou Yangming became even more cautious this time. He looked calm and tried his best to avoid the mistakes that happened last time.

The result was still a failure.

Having said that, this time, the pill was almost ready and was only a hair’s breadth away from success.

The third time, Ou Yangming was full of confidence. In less than 2 hours, a fragrance came from the secret room. He reached out his hand and grabbed.

3 Golden Pills flew out from the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.

On the pills, 3 tiny patterns spiraled like 3 tiny green dragons.

“It’s done!”

Ou Yangming’s face was filled with joy. After failing twice, he finally succeeded in refining Three Revolutions Golden Pills. This made him very happy. He had succeeded in refining the Three Revolutions Golden Pill. Would the Fifth Revolutions Golden Pill and the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill be far away?

“Swift Tortoise, come out.”

Ou Yangming waved his hand, and the round, earth-shaped tortoise fell to the ground on all fours. It was thrown out of the poisonous pill’s world by the young fellow.

The tortoise somersaulted to stabilize its body. Its round eyes stared at the pills in Ou Yangming’s hand. It felt that they were good.

“I’ll give one to you.” Ou Yangming threw a pill in his hand. The pill drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed in the Swift Tortoise’s mouth.

After eating the pill, the tortoise quickly fell asleep. Seeing that its breathing was stable, Ou Yangming did not bother with it.

Ou Yangming opened 3 furnaces in a row. With the last successful experience, he succeeded in all 3 times. The number of Golden Pils in his hand also increased to 8.

The night had fallen.

Just when Ou Yangming was ready to try the Five Revolutions Golden Pill, he suddenly raised his head with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

He felt that someone had sneaked in from outside.

There were 7 of them, and each of them was a Ruler. Their blood and Qi were surging, and they were connected by blood. It seemed that they had practiced the same cultivation method.

Those people did not know that their whereabouts had been exposed. They sneaked into the villa, avoiding everyone’s eyes.

Outside the villa.

The second young master who had left in the daytime had a smile in his eyes. The old man beside him also looked at the villa not far away with a cold gaze.
