The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

The Pill Cloud contracted, and the Thunder Tribulation descended!

Before the World Will, Kunyun Palace's Defensive Grand Array was completely useless.

The expressions of all the Elders changed in an instant.

Filled with disbelief and utter shock, they stared at Qin Ya, dumbfounded.

This young man was actually a Pill King, capable of refining a Spirit Pill!

Linx Xiaoyun, who was right beside Qin Ya, nearly bit his tongue off. He stared at Qin Ya, his mind reeling as if struck by lightning. A phrase Qin Ya had said earlier suddenly surfaced. 'A hobby?! My ass it's a hobby!'

'You reached the level of a Pill King as a hobby!'

'Are you even letting others live?'

After all, Linx Xiaoyun had studied the Alchemy Dao for nearly twenty years, but because he had also divided his attention to Martial Arts, he was only a Fifth-Grade Alchemist.

But Qin Ya had also achieved extraordinary success in Martial Arts, yet his Alchemy Dao had reached the level of a Pill King. And he was barely twenty years old.

'To think such a monster exists in this world.'

After a long moment, Linx Xiaoyun could only let out a helpless sigh. He had always thought of himself as a rare prodigy, but before Qin Ya, he was nothing. 'This bastard is the real, bona fide prodigy!'

As for the Pill Kings high in the sky, their shock was even greater than Linx Xiaoyun's. They were Pill Kings, so they had invested far more energy into the Alchemy Dao than ordinary people.

One could say they had spent their entire lives studying the Alchemy Dao.

They knew that accumulation and experience were indispensable for the Alchemy Dao. But at Qin Ya's age, and with his Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts, what kind of accumulation could he possibly have?

And yet, he was a true Pill King.

Compared to Qin Ya, they felt as if they had wasted the better part of their lives. The feeling of frustration was so immense they felt the urge to vomit blood.

'Luck. It's all luck.'

Ou Tianlin's face was ashen. He let out a low growl, his eyes filled with intense jealousy. 'Why? Why does he have this kind of talent!'

The beautiful woman beside him, Muo Xiu, frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Elder Ou, don't let this consume you. Calm yourself!"

Hearing this, Ou Tianlin took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the turmoil within him. After a moment, his expression gradually returned to normal, but the trace of jealousy behind his eyes could not be erased. He was simply too unwilling to accept this.

Seeing this, Muo Xiu sighed and said no more. She understood Ou Tianlin's feelings. They had spent the better part of their lives in research to reach this level, yet a young man who was barely an adult had easily reached the same heights. How could they possibly remain calm?

At this moment, thunder and lightning flashed across the sky!

Seeing this, the Elders all retreated several hundred yards away.

Seeing this, Qin Ya transformed his True Essence into a great, invisible hand and lifted the lid of the Furnace Cauldron. A golden pill instantly shot into the sky, rushing toward the thunder clouds!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In an instant, three bolts of thunder crashed down, striking the pill.

The golden pill trembled violently, and a crack appeared on its surface. But its golden light only grew more dazzling, like a miniature sun.

One after another, serpentine bolts of thunder slammed into the pill. More and more cracks appeared on its surface until, in a short while, they covered it like a spiderweb.

Seeing this, the crowd wrung their hands and sighed in regret.

"Alas, it seems this pill's refinement will be a failure."

"At his age, just attempting to refine a Spirit Pill is already Heaven-Defying. If he actually succeeds, would there be any justice left in the world?"

"Tsk, tsk. This child's talent in Martial Arts is unprecedented, and his talent in the Alchemy Dao is even more peerless. It is truly Kunyun Palace's great fortune to have him."

As the crowd sighed, Ou Tianlin, however, snorted coldly. "Hmph. As expected, it was just luck. If he really succeeds, how could I, an old man, continue to live with any face?"

Hearing this, although the crowd scorned Ou Tianlin's narrow-mindedness, he was still a Pill King, so they didn't dare show it. They could only curse him in their hearts.

"Wait, everyone, look!"

Just then, someone cried out in alarm.

A bolt of thunder as thick as a dragon slammed into the Golden Core. The cracks on the Golden Core reached their limit, and suddenly, it erupted with a boundless radiance!

The surface of the Golden Core began to peel away, layer by layer, revealing a perfectly smooth shell beneath. Its Pill Fragrance was more than twice as strong as before, and its size had shrunk by a circle.

Those cracks weren't a sign that the pill was about to shatter! They were a manifestation of it becoming more condensed, of its medicinal properties being tempered. Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Ou Tianlin's expression became as dark as it could possibly be.

"Hmph. The Thunder Tribulation isn't over yet. It's still uncertain if he'll succeed."

The thunder clouds in the sky roiled as if enraged. Bolts of thunder rained down continuously. The pill cracked once more, then shed another layer of its outer shell, its medicinal power growing even stronger.

And besides its medicinal properties, it had gained a trace of Spirituality.

Time passed. With the fall of the final bolt of thunder, the pill had shrunk a dozen times over. It was now only the size of a thumb, but its medicinal power was ten times stronger!

Waves of Pill Fragrance spread out, and the crowd felt their Divine Thought become much more active. Clearly, this pill was specifically refined to target Divine Thought. Beside Qin Ya, Linx Xiaoyun was at a loss for words. In the end, he could only take a hard swig of wine.

WHOOSH! Just then, the golden pill tried to tear through the air and escape.

'Trying to run?'

The corner of Qin Ya's mouth curled up. He instantly unleashed the Mysterious Speed Second Layer Heaven, his figure streaking away like a Flowing Light. But another figure flew in front of him.

It was Ou Tianlin, dressed in a gray robe with a white beard, his cultivation at the Celestial Human Realm.

Seeing this, Qin Ya's brows furrowed slightly. Although he didn't recognize this old man, how could he let someone else lay a finger on a pill he had refined without his consent!

The Mysterious Speed erupted again. He instantly shot past the old man, snatched the golden pill, and placed it in a Jade Bottle. Then, he looked coldly at the old man before him and said indifferently, "Your actions are rather inappropriate, I'm afraid."

Ou Tianlin's face flushed red and pale. He snorted coldly and roared, "Insolent! Do you know who I am? I am an Alchemy Elder of Kunyun Palace! You, a mere Disciple, not only fail to salute an Elder, but you dare to talk back! You show no respect for your superiors! How can I tolerate you!"

As his words fell, he actually raised his palm, gathering a majestic Palm Qi!

Although he studied the Alchemy Dao, his Martial Arts Cultivation had reached the level of Celestial Human Perfection through the accumulation of time and elixirs. In his eyes, Qin Ya was just a minor Celestial Human Initial Rank Martial Artist. How could he possibly withstand this palm strike?

'First he was rude, and now he wants to cause injury.'

A glint of coldness flashed in Qin Ya's eyes. He didn't care what kind of Elder Ou Tianlin was. He calmly raised his own palm, gathering thunder and fire qi, and suddenly struck out, meeting the attack head-on. In that instant, Qin Ya's Thunder-Fire Palm Qi, carrying an unstoppable might, crushed Ou Tianlin's Palm Force as if it were dead wood and sent him flying.

'Weak. A little too weak, isn't he?'

'To think there's such a weak Celestial Human Perfection in Kunyun Palace.'

'I'm afraid any random Law Enforcer could defeat him.'

Qin Ya shook his head, his gaze filled with a hint of disdain as he watched the so-called Alchemy Elder, Ou Tianlin, spit blood and fly backward.
