Most of the people here were still very young. They didn't want to die. Their eyes were filled with despair. That was despair that came from the bottom of their hearts. In here, they didn't even have the chance to commit suicide. They were surrounded by strong guards. Although the strongest among them was only a half-step Immortal King, even so, it was enough to control the fate of all of them. Moreover, because of the long-term pill-testing, their qi and blood had almost been exhausted. How could they still have the ability to fight or resist?
In a corner of the square, a middle-aged man was curled up. He seemed to be in his forties. His clothes were tattered and full of injuries. His whole body was stained with blood. Only his eyes were sharp. If Jiang Chen was here, he would definitely recognize this middle-aged man. He was the father he was looking for, Jiang Zhenhai.
"Chen Er, I'm afraid that we won't have the chance to meet again."
Jiang Zhenhai sighed. His tone was filled with unwillingness. He wasn't afraid of death, but he wasn't willing to die like this. He had been in the lower world for hundreds of years, waiting for the day that he could ascend to the Immortal World and reunite with his son. He had finally gotten what he wanted, but he had never thought that he would end up like this. Now, seeing Jiang Chen for the last time had become an extravagant delusion.
Jiang Zhenhai's heart was filled with pain. He knew that Jiang Chen was in the Immortal World, but the Immortal World was just too big. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack if he wanted to find Jiang Chen with his current strength. Now that he had fallen into such a desperate situation, he no longer had any hope of seeing Jiang Chen again.
After staying here for a period of time, Jiang Zhenhai had long understood that death was the ultimate destination here. Without exception, there were people dying here every day. Just now, two of them had died. He had no idea when death would befall him.
The only thing he could do now was to wait for death.
Jiang Zhenhai's current cultivation base had already reached the Heaven Immortal realm. This wasn't because of how powerful he was, but because of the results of the pill-testing. Although many of the pills here had extremely powerful side effects, they could forcibly increase one's cultivation base. In fact, this situation was very bad. Take Jiang Zhenhai for example. All of his potential and qi and blood had been drained by the pills. He couldn't exert his Heaven Immortal cultivation base at all. Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to make any progress in the future. He would stay at this level for the rest of his life unless there was a miracle.
Of course, Jiang Zhen Hai didn't think about this at all. After staying here for so long, no one would think about leaving this place alive, because it was unrealistic. After being here for such a long time, the only person who could support Jiang Zhen Hai was Jiang Chen.
Because Jiang Zhenhai knew that only by staying alive could he have a chance to see his son. The most basic condition was to stay alive.
Compared to the others, Jiang Zhenhai's condition was relatively good. After all, when Jiang Chen left, he left a lot of good things for Jiang Zhenhai, which made Jiang Zhenhai's foundation stronger and more stable. Therefore, Jiang Zhenhai's eyes were still very bright even now.
* Clap clap … *
Heavy footsteps were heard from outside. Then, a middle-aged man walked in. This middle-aged man's Qi was incomparably strong. He was already a true Immortal King. With such cultivation base, he already had some status in the pill store.
"Fifth Steward, why did you come in person?"
Seeing this middle-aged man, a few guards immediately greeted him, bowing and bowing. This showed that this Fifth Steward had an extraordinary status.
"Yes, Fifth Steward. You can rest assured with us here. Plus, today's pills have been tested."
One of them said.
"Now, a new type of pill has been concocted. Find a slightly stronger one. I want to test it myself."
The Fifth Steward said.
Hearing this, the expressions of the guards instantly turned serious. According to the usual practice, there would only be one pill test a day because only one new pill recipe would appear in a day. They didn't expect that it would start again right after the pill test ended. Moreover, it was the Fifth Steward who came personally. It could be seen that the new pill recipe this time was not ordinary.
"Go, find someone with a better body."
The leader said to one of the people below. He only said that the body was a bit better, but he didn't necessarily want to find a strong body. This was because he knew that almost none of the test subjects here had a good body. Now that he wanted to find a relatively good test subject, he could only find a relatively good test subject.
The guard looked around. All the test subjects were trembling in fear. They didn't dare to look him in the eyes. Finally, the guard's eyes fell on Jiang Zhenhai.
"You, come out."
The guard nodded at Jiang Zhenhai.
Jiang Zhenhai raised his head. His eyes were filled with coldness and hatred.
"Old man, how dare you stare at me."
The guard was instantly furious. He strode to Jiang Zhenhai's side and gave him a loud slap on the face. Then, he raised his foot and was about to kick Jiang Zhenhai's head.
"Enough, don't kill him."
The leader hurriedly reprimanded. It wasn't easy to find someone with a better body. If he was killed, it would be a waste.
"Humph! Consider yourself lucky. "
The guard snorted coldly. He grabbed Jiang Zhenhai's collar and pulled him in front of the Fifth Steward.
"Sky Immortal level. His Qi and blood are almost exhausted. Is there a better one?"
The Fifth Steward looked at Jiang Zhenhai and said with a frown.
"Fifth Steward, if this one doesn't work, we'll go out and catch him now."
The leader said.
"Forget it. We can't act in broad daylight. If we're seen by outsiders, it will damage the reputation of Fengfeng Pill Store. Just take him. Don't waste time."
The Fifth Steward said. He turned his palm and took out a pill. This pill was blood red and gave off an unpleasant smell. Jiang Zhenhai's pupils shrank. His intuition told him that if he ate this pill, he might not be able to hold on until he saw his son.
"I won't eat it."
Jiang Zhenhai was furious and glared at the leader.
"You won't eat it? It's not up to you. "
The leader took the pill and grabbed Jiang Zhenhai's neck. He then stuffed the pill into Jiang Zhenhai's mouth. Jiang Zhenhai felt like he was suffocating. The pill went down his throat and into his stomach.
* Hong … … *
The strong power of the pill instantly exploded in Jiang Zhenhai's body. It turned into a spiritual snake that crazily attacked his limbs and bones. Jiang Zhenhai's face twisted instantly. He lay on the ground and howled in pain.
