The sea of pills was too shocking. Looking at it, one couldn't even see the end of it. Who knew how many pills Old Lord had refined and stored here. It seemed endless.
Lin Jin had no idea what an empyrean golden pill looked like. If he was alone, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, he wasn't alone.
Including the colorful butterfly demoness, many immortals who had seen the empyrean golden pill before had joined the search party. Controlling their immortal beasts, they began flying around in search.
Lin Jin, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. He picked up a pill at random. The pill was round, glowing with a white luster and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
Although Lin Jin knew how to refine pills, he didn't recognize any of the immortal pills here. Moreover, they weren't pet beasts so he couldn't rely on the Museum of Deadly Beasts to identify them.
Before coming here, Lin Jin had an idea. Since this was Old Lord's pelletization room, he had to take some immortal pills back. After all, any one of them was a priceless treasure.
But here he was, looking at the sea of pills, and Lin Jin had no idea what to do.
There were too many pills here.
And he could take as many as he wanted.
This made it difficult for Lin Jin. After all, even if he took a bunch back, he couldn't just eat them without knowing their effects. Also, even if they were immortal pills, they should have a shelf life. Lin Jin figured he should at least store them in a porcelain bottle with the name of the pill on it. It would be best if there was also a pill booklet with detailed descriptions of each pill's effects.
This was what Lin Jin had envisioned. Unlike now, all the pills were piled up together like an ocean without any labels or identification system. Lin Jin had no idea where to start.
Unless he knew the appearance and characteristics of a specific pill and spent time searching for it, all he could do was grab a handful of pills and run before he was driven mad.
This was the only way.
Lin Jin put down the white jade pill in his hand and picked up a fiery-red pill.
Red represented fire.
Lin Jin thought that this might be a unique pill with a fire attribute. It should be effective on Xiao Huo. But when he picked it up and sniffed it.
A pungent smell wafted over. Lin Jin felt dizzy and almost fainted.
If it weren't for the sudden boost from the Devil-Blood Beast, Lin Jin would have passed out from the impact.
"Could this be a poisonous pill?" Lin Jin looked horrified as he hurriedly tossed the pill away.
This possibility was extremely high. What was the Grand Supreme Elder doing? Why didn't he even distinguish the poisonous pill? Wasn't he afraid that the poison in the pill would seep out and contaminate the other pills?
One had to know that these were all Immortal Pills that were worth cities!
"Sure enough, having a high cultivation level makes one capricious!" Lin Jin mumbled to himself. With so many pills in front of him, he was no longer in a hurry. The sea of pills wasn't going anywhere, so Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry to retrieve them. His top priority now was to find the celestial golden pill.
That was the most important thing.
Lin Jin didn't have to use the Heaven and Earth Furnace, but the celestial golden pill was a must.
The butterfly demoness and the other immortals were still searching around. Previously, Lin Jin felt that finding the celestial golden pill would be like searching for a needle in a haystack if he was alone. But now, it seemed like even with help, the difficulty was about the same.
After all, there weren't many celestial golden pills and they were all mixed up in the sea of pills. If there were more pills that looked similar in appearance, finding the celestial golden pill would be even more difficult.
"It's alright. I have plenty of time now." Lin Jin comforted himself. If push came to shove, there were other places where he could find the celestial golden pill. However, Lin Jin knew that this place must have it too. It was just a matter of finding it.
As time passed, no one brought back any good news.
The expressions on the faces of all the people who were searching for pills changed from the relaxed expressions at the beginning to the current solemn expressions, and even expressions of disbelief.
"How is this possible? Why can't we find it?"
"Could it be that there isn't a single celestial golden pill in the entire sea of pills?"
"That's impossible. Although the celestial golden pill is rare, what is this place? This is the Grand Supreme Elder's sea of pills and the celestial golden pill was refined by the Grand Supreme Elder. How could there not be one? Keep looking. "
They did find a bunch of pills that could extend an immortal's lifespan but the celestial golden pill was nowhere to be found.
During this time, Lin Jin had collected quite a number of pills, including the longevity pill. There were pills of various qualities ranging from ten to a hundred to five hundred years of life. Any one of these pills would be priceless treasures in any of Middle Earth's continents. But here, Lin Jin managed to find more than a hundred of them.
Other than that, Lin Jin had also found some other pills. They had all been screened and Lin Jin was cautious, afraid that he would pick up a poisonous pill and treat it as a treasure.
However, even poisonous pills had their uses. It was just that Lin Jin couldn't use them right now.
"I found it!"
At this moment, an Immortal shouted out with a tone of excitement.
How could he not be excited? He had been searching for several hours and now that he had finally found one, of course he was happy.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin perked up and hurried over. The others followed suit. But just then, a loud rumble came from the bottom of the pellet ocean. A green object rushed out and swallowed the celestial golden pill along with hundreds of other pills around it.
Everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths agape.
Lin Jin reacted the quickest. "After it!"
As soon as he said that, the hundred-beast monster that had been following behind Lin Jin was the first to rush over. It was extremely fast but the green object wasn't slow either. It dived into the sea of pills like a fish in the ocean, disappearing without a trace.
The reason why it was described as a fish returning to the sea was because the green thing just now was indeed a fish, a big fish.
Lin Jin's fingers were trembling in anger. It wasn't easy finding a celestial golden pill but it was snatched away halfway. No one would be able to tolerate this.
Especially since this was of utmost importance to Lin Jin.
Without the celestial golden pill, Xiao Huo wouldn't be able to advance to Rank 8 so he had to get his hands on this.
"Come out!" Lin Jin bellowed. Then, the Breeze Sword flew out from his waist and pierced into the sea of pills.
Everyone outside fell silent. After all, even if the other immortals wanted to help, they couldn't. They didn't know what that green fish was but it treated the pill sea as a real ocean. When it leaped out of the sea earlier, it was as if it was in the ocean. It was so fast that no one could react in time.
After a moment of silence, the sea of pills surged and the sky changed color. Then, a sharp blade flew back into the scabbard at Lin Jin's waist.
