"This..."
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ouyang Shuang was at a loss for words. Her father had stolen the academy's treasures, the 'Mighty Emperor Pellet' and the 'Lightning Dragon', while her son had stolen the main ingredient for the second Mighty Emperor Pellet, the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit, as well as a large amount of spirit herbs from the herb farm.
Both father and son were listed on the academy's bounty board. What kind of father and son pair were they? They were practically the bane of Tianwu Academy, born to be its nemesis.
A moment later, Ouyang Shuang's red lips parted slightly. After some hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Xi, is there any other way?"
Mu Rongxi raised his head and said, "For such a huge matter, I can't help even if I wanted to. If that brat has the ability to escape, then so be it. But if he is captured, he will probably be refined by Elder Zhou like the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit."
...
In the blazing mountain range, the temperature was astonishing. Du Shaofu's body was bound involuntarily. He knew that he was in the crater of a volcano. The surrounding rocks were crimson red, as though lava was surging.
A moment later, Du Shaofu arrived at the courtyard. This courtyard was very strange. It was built with ancient crimson rocks, and the heat in the air was surging.
In the vast space, Du Shaofu was finally released from his bindings, regaining his freedom.
At this moment, Du Shaofu wasn't moved by the fact that he had regained his freedom. Instead, he looked at the crimson cauldron in front of him in surprise.
The cauldron was astonishing. It was a three-legged cauldron with a height of one zhang and a diameter of more than ten meters. It exuded an ancient aura, and many ancient runes were carved on it. Light flowed around it, spreading out in all directions.
The most shocking thing was that there were seven ferocious-looking mutated beast heads around the cauldron. They looked like dragons and pythons, and they were as red as fire. At this moment, it was as though they were alive. They opened their mouths, and crimson flames were sucked in from the ground.
Around the cauldron, crimson lava covered the ground. The aura it exuded was frightening. If one's cultivation was slightly lower, they would probably be vaporized by the high temperature.
"Hualala..."
The seven streams of lava were connected to the cauldron. Within the cauldron, a glow spread out, and the smell of spiritual herbs was rich.
"Greetings, Elder."
Within the room, there were two old men, three middle-aged men and a beautiful woman, as well as a few other young men and women. Upon seeing Elder Zhou, they immediately bowed, while their gazes remained on Du Shaofu, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Elder, we can't wait any longer. The Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit must be added into the medicine. If we don't add it now, it will be too late." An old man said to Elder Zhou.
"The Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit has already been eaten by this brat."
Elder Zhou said to the crowd, "Fortunately, we made it in time. Treat this brat like a Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit and refine him. According to the theory of medicinal talismans, perhaps the effects would be similar. I'll handle the rest. You all can leave. I will set up a restriction. No one is allowed to disturb me."
"Yes …"
Everyone looked at Du Shaofu in shock before leaving with their own astonished gazes.
As everyone left, one rune after another condensed and transformed in Elder Zhou's palm before disappearing into the surroundings.
"We're in big trouble now!"
At this moment, Du Shaofu could no longer pretend to be calm. Profound Qi erupted from his body as a pale golden halo spread out. He wanted to escape immediately. He couldn't let this old man refine him.
"You want to escape now? Don't you think it's too slow?"
A huge binding force instantly enveloped Du Shaofu's body, making it impossible for Du Shaofu to move. He was completely unable to resist.
The old man's strength was too strong, so strong that it exceeded Du Shaofu's imagination.
Du Shaofu had only felt this kind of feeling when his drunkard father had shocked everyone in the battle of the stone city.
"Du Shaofu, Du Tingxuan, what a pair of bastard father and son. The older one stole my Huangji Pill, and the younger one stole my Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. Did I owe your Du family in my previous life? Bastard!"
As Du Shaofu was bound, he heard a loud curse. In the end, his body was thrown to the side and he regained his freedom.
Du Shaofu raised his head in astonishment. His eyes were filled with shock as he said, "Senior, you know my father? How do you know that we're father and son? "
"I can't forget even if I wanted to."
Elder Zhou glared fiercely at Du Shaofu. His face and neck were red, and his veins were bulging. He said, "When I first saw you, I knew that you were Du Tingxuan's son. Your face is as shameless as your father's, but your eyes are like your mother's. There's no mistake about it."
When Du Shaofu heard this, his heart tightened for no reason. He stared intently at the elder and said, "You know my mother?"
"I really don't know why that girl fell for Du Tingxuan. In my opinion, she's not even as good as Mu Rongxi."
Elder Zhou glared at Du Shaofu and said, "Little bastard, you only need to tell me now. Do you want to live or die?"
"I don't think anyone wants to die. Don't you think so, senior?" Du Shaofu looked at Elder Zhou, his eyes secretly moving. Based on Elder Zhou's tone, it seemed that there was still a chance.
"Even your tone is exactly the same as Du Tingxuan's. No wonder they're father and son."
Elder Zhou glared at Du Shaofu and said, "You now have two choices. First, I will refine you like the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. Who knows, I might even be able to refine a Huangji Pill."
"Let's talk about the second choice." Du Shaofu clicked his tongue. Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.
Elder Zhou stared at Du Shaofu with a serious expression before saying, "Let's talk about it when you're still alive. I'll still throw you into the Alchemy Cauldron."
When Du Shaofu heard these words, his face instantly turned ugly. This old fellow seemed to be deliberately toying with him.
"You can directly swallow the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. Although you'll obtain astonishing results, do you know what effects it will have if it's refined into a Huangji Pill?" Elder Zhou asked.
Du Shaofu shook his head. Although he had learned a lot about alchemy and Symbol Masters from Zhen Qingchun, he had yet to come into contact with high grade pills. Therefore, he really did not know the effects of the Huangji Pill.
"Then do you know about the Martial King Realm?" Elder Zhou asked Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu nodded his head. The Martial King Realm was the peak existence of this continent. It was rumored that the number of King Realm experts on this continent could be counted on one's fingers. Any one of them was an overlord.
The Thunder Lion in the stone city was currently in the process of stepping into the Beast King Realm at the peak of the Complete Beast Marquis Realm. It was unknown how it was doing right now and whether it had truly stepped into the ranks of King Realm experts.
"Then what's after the Martial King Realm? Do you know?" Elder Zhou glanced at Du Shaofu and asked.
When Du Shaofu heard these words, his gaze slightly trembled as he said, "Martial King Realm!"
When his voice fell, Du Shaofu's heart surged with some yearning. The Martial King Realm was an existence that ordinary cultivators could only dream of but not reach.
The Martial King Realm was an existence that ordinary cultivators could only dream of but not reach even for Pulse Spirit Realm and Martial Marquis Realm experts.
It was rumored that once one reached the Martial King Realm, they could move mountains and seas with just a wave of their hand.
"Martial King Realm. In the entire Stone Dragon Empire, there are more than a hundred million people. How many cultivators can step into the Martial King Realm? Even in the Tianwu Academy, where geniuses gather, how many people have broken through to the Martial King Realm after so many years?"
Elder Zhou said to Du Shaofu, "To put it simply, the 'Mighty Huang Pill' is an absolute Royal Grade Elixir. If a cultivator consumes the Mighty Huang Pill, they have at least a fifty percent chance of stepping into the Martial King Realm."
Du Shaofu looked at Elder Zhou and his eyes flickered. The Mighty Huang Pill was indeed worthy of being called the treasure of the Tianwu Academy. It could allow a cultivator to have a fifty percent chance of stepping into the Martial King Realm.
In front of the Mighty Huang Pill, any Martial King Realm cultivator would be willing to give up everything to exchange for it.
"It's a pity that you've swallowed the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. Although you're still alive, you haven't been able to bring out the full potential of the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit."
Elder Zhou looked at Du Shaofu and thought of the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. He couldn't help but feel his heart ache as he said, "The other spirit herbs needed to refine the Mighty Huang Dan are all in this medicinal cauldron. Even if it's me, I still don't have the strength to refine the Mighty Huang Dan. I can only rely on the combined efforts of everyone and the Earth Core Fire. Since you've already consumed the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit and are still alive, you naturally have some means and ability. Therefore, I will throw you into the medicinal cauldron. You can absorb as much of the other spirit herbs as you can, but whether you live or die will depend on your own abilities.
"Senior …"
Just as Du Shaofu was about to say something, a rune light suddenly enveloped him. His body was bound once again. Before he could react, he appeared in a blazing space of flames in the next instant.
"Kid, if you're able to live, I'll write off the matter of the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. At that time, you just have to agree to one of my conditions. If you die, it'll be because you're not fated to obtain the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. I'll refine you into the Mighty Huang Pill. "As these words entered Du Shaofu's ears, the bindings around his body disappeared.
"Hualala!"
As Du Shaofu regained his freedom, a sea of flames suddenly appeared around Du Shaofu's body. Under the high temperature, even the space seemed to tremble.
The entire surrounding space was scarlet red. A terrifying blazing aura suddenly spread throughout the space, accompanied by blazing runes that flickered within the sea of flames. The sea of flames completely enveloped Du Shaofu.
"What a terrifying temperature!"
Du Shaofu's body immediately felt the burning pain from the blazing aura as he was enveloped by the blazing sea of flames. Compared to when he had faced the Heavenly Flaming Hand Pan Yu's attack, this blazing temperature was like the difference between heaven and earth.
