Chapter 31: The Pill Furnace That Fell From the Sky

After the man in black entered the cave, he immediately walked into the Pill Room.

Soon, the man in black discovered that there were missing pills in the Pill Room, and a flash of light appeared in his shiny black eyes beneath the mask.

With a sharp sound, the long sword at the man’s waist came out of its sheath, the red and black mist on the sword mixed together, and the temperature in the cave dropped a few degrees.

"Come out!"

The man in black’s voice was very hoarse as he held the sword and looked around cautiously.

But after waiting for a long time, he did not see anyone appear, yet the man in black did not lower his guard and moved forward step by step.

After half a stick of incense passed, confirming that there was no one in the cave, the man in black finally sheathed his sword and started to think, stroking his chin.

After a long time, he again returned to the Pill Room, stayed for about an hour, and a buzzing sound accompanied a dazzling light coming from the Pill Room.

The light lasted a long time, gradually dimming. After half an hour, the man in black finally walked out of the Pill Room, but his aura was completely different from before.

He quickly went to each room and emptied everything from the Pill Room before drawing his sword and leaving the cave.

In Roaring Bear Valley, the man in black held his sword and looked around, as if searching for possible enemies, but after waiting for a long time, no enemies appeared.

However, the man in black did not linger and quickly left Roaring Bear Valley.

A few hours later, on the other side of Green Dragon Mountain, two woodcutters walked out of the forest.

"Have you heard? A great change has happened in Green Cloud City. The Huang family and the Lei family, the three great families, were wiped out overnight!"

"How is that possible? The Lei family and the Huang family have been part of Green Cloud City for hundreds of years. How could they be destroyed? Did they offend someone powerful?"

"Not exactly. It is said that the Lei family and the Huang family joined forces to eliminate a small family called the Yi family, but they did not expect that the Yi family suddenly gained three innate masters overnight, including two late innate stage experts."

"That can’t be true! Three innate masters in one night? Did someone powerful help them?"

The two woodcutters were talking when suddenly a dark figure appeared and blocked their way.

The dark figure wore a black cloak and had a ghostly face, only revealing a pair of black, shining eyes that stared at the two woodcutters.

The two woodcutters were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, and one of them wet himself.

"You just said that the Yi family in Green Cloud City suddenly gained three innate masters overnight. What is going on?"

The voice of the figure in black was hoarse.

The leader of the woodcutters looked at the figure in front of him and, in a trembling voice, told the entire story of what had happened in Green Cloud City.

"The Yu family? A son-in-law? Comparable to the sword techniques of the immortals?"

The dark figure’s eyes rolled around suddenly with a murderous look, "No wonder there are fewer pills in the cave but no one around. If it were those righteous old masters, they would have already set up traps inside and outside the cave. It seems they are feeling guilty for their misdeeds!"

After saying this, before the two woodcutters could react, the figure in black vanished into thin air and rushed toward Green Cloud City.

……

"As a proud princess of the Yan Kingdom, what are you doing in Green Cloud City?"

Yi Qianmo was very curious.

Su Muyu had already told Yi Qianmo about her identity; she was the Grand Princess of the Yan Kingdom, the younger sister of the current King Yan.

"I am looking for ancient ruins. According to ancient texts, in the past, the Green Dragon Mountain was filled with demonic beasts. Later, ancient cultivators came here and drove away all the demonic beasts."

Su Muyu said.

"You aren’t also here to hunt for treasure, are you?"

Yi Qianmo replied with displeasure.

"Yes, but… what you don’t know, teacher, is that while those cultivators were said to drive away the strange beasts, they were actually drawn here because of a treasure. To compete for that treasure, a bloody battle took place on Green Dragon Mountain, and many cultivators lost their lives there. The demonic beasts that were driven away were just caught in the crossfire of these battles."

Su Muyu said.

"What kind of treasure?"

Yi Qianmo instinctively touched the hilt of the black sword at his waist.

"The rumor is about a Pill Furnace that fell from the sky."

Su Muyu said.

"Fell from the sky?"

Yi Qianmo’s hand immediately pulled back from the hilt, and for a moment, he really thought it was his own sword.

"Yes, it fell from the sky. It landed in Green Dragon Mountain and created a big pit. For miles around, everything caught fire, and the flames burned for many days without going out."

Su Muyu said.

"So, you came here to find that Pill Furnace?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"Not just me; every ten years, people from Green Dragon Mountain come to search," Su Muyu said. "Because every ten years, deep in Green Dragon Mountain, we hear cries of sorrow. Those are the spirits from the battlefield crying, and some say they have seen bright flames in the sky, which are said to be the light from the Pill Furnace."

Su Muyu said mysteriously.

Seeing her talk more and more wildly, Yi Qianmo waved his hand and said, "So, no one has found the Pill Furnace?"

"That’s what the rumors say, but this time, I don’t know why, the ten-year period has passed, and there are no strange sounds or flames in Green Dragon Mountain."

Su Muyu said, "I have been here for a few months, and many of the cultivators who came have already gone back. If my master had come out earlier, perhaps we could have met those celestial beings from other sects."

Yi Qianmo secretly felt relieved. Thank goodness those people left. If they were still here, wouldn’t they be watching him closely after he entered Roaring Bear Valley?

He thought again about the formation in Roaring Bear Valley and wondered, "Could it be… that Roaring Bear Valley was created by the Pill Furnace falling from the sky?"

But he quickly dismissed this unrealistic thought. Since Su Muyu became his apprentice, she had revealed her mystical nature, speaking in strange and puzzling ways.

"You should go back to the Yu family. If you stay here any longer, that old man Yu Changqing will become suspicious."

Seeing her talk endlessly without stopping, Yi Qianmo immediately asked her to leave.

Su Muyu smiled brightly, gave a slight bow, and then left the meeting room.

"After all these years, no one has found it. I don’t even know if it’s real. Even if I go, I may not have the same good luck."

Yi Qianmo thought about what Su Muyu said. Although he had the desire to go explore Green Dragon Mountain, he quickly put the idea aside. "The most important thing now is to improve my skills. I need to break through to the Qi Refining Stage. Only by reaching the Qi Refining Stage will I have the strength to protect myself!"

Yu Youwei is at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage. If Yu Youwei returns, with his current abilities, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Yu Youwei.

As for the power of the Sword Pill, he didn’t dare to use it lightly. Mortal beings can’t see through it, but divine beings might. If exposed, it would surely bring greater trouble.
