The 21st day of the fourth lunar month was destined to be an unforgettable day.
Last night, the entire Yaoguang Empire's armored cavalry was patrolling the streets and interrogating people, causing the commoners to panic. Even some of the officials and martial artists who were not well-informed were wondering if something big had happened in the imperial city.
However, before they could have a good night's sleep, the shrill sound of a military flute was heard in the southern part of the city at the first glimmer of dawn. The rich and powerful who lived near Bian Zhiye's residence were so shocked that their souls almost flew out of their bodies!
Not long after, the Black Crossbow Army rushed in like a pack of wolves and tigers. The officials with high positions first reported for assistance in the investigation. The rich and powerful were directly arrested. Some of the unscrupulous soldiers even seized the opportunity to plunder some money and groped the buttocks of the beautiful women!
After that, the Black Crossbow Army began to interrogate them, asking if they heard any cries for help last night, if they saw any strangers loitering around, and so on …
Only then did the crowd find out that their neighbor, Bian Zhiye, had been killed.
As it turned out, when the sun was about to rise, an old servant of Bian Zhiye's house woke up and saw his master's tragic death. The first thing he did was to report it to his master's master, Yin Baiyue!
When he heard the news of his second disciple, Bian Zhiye's death, Yin Baiyue was so angry that he roared at the sky. His anger rushed to his head and he immediately threw out the signal unique to the three Prefectures to seek help from the nation's protector, causing a huge commotion. In an instant, the sky was filled with flickering lights and shadows!
Yin Baiyue and Prefectural Master Yin himself also rushed to the residence of his second disciple, Bian Zhiye, at the fastest speed possible! Yin Baiyue's chest was burning with rage.
Murder, this was definitely a premeditated murder!
When his first disciple, Yan Rudong, died, he still thought it was an overly coincidental accident! However, six to eight hours later, his second disciple, Bian Zhiye, was also killed in his own house. In summary, the two disciples that he valued the most were both assassinated!
In just one night, he lost his two most valued disciples! Yin Baiyue's heart was in so much pain that he wanted to vomit blood!
The cultivation of an alchemist was definitely not something that could be done in a day! Yin Baiyue vaguely remembered that Yan Rudong and Bian Zhiye had been learning from him for thirty years, no, almost forty years?
But now …
Yin Baiyue was the first to arrive at the place where his disciple, Bian Zhiye, was buried. Therefore, he immediately saw the blood-stained pill formula buried under Bian Zhiye's body!
After examining the cause of death of his disciple, Yin Baiyue looked at the pill recipe. Tears welled up in Yin Baiyue's eyes when he saw the first three herbs!
What a good disciple! Even on his deathbed, he was studying a pill recipe that he had failed to refine recently! The most hateful thing was that such a good disciple had actually been killed! This made Bian Zhiye's heart ache even more!
Holding back his anger and anger, Yin Baiyue carefully read the pill recipe with detailed annotations! Yin Baiyue's keen senses told him that his disciple, Bian Zhiye, had made some changes to the pill formula before his death. Not only that, he had even written down the reasons for the changes!
Yin Baiyue almost slapped the table and cheered when he read the reason why his disciple had changed the note.
It was too reasonable! It was so reasonable that Yin Baiyue became excited. It was completely in line with the principles of medicine! After that, he wrote down some things that he needed to pay attention to when refining this Rejuvenation Pill!
This included the last part where he stated that the Rejuvenation Pill was a low-grade heaven-rank pill and that only a Heavenly Pill Master could refine it! After reading the note, Yin Baiyue suddenly felt enlightened about refining the Rejuvenation Pill. According to his dead disciple, Bian Zhiye's annotations, Yin Baiyue could already see the hope of successfully refining the Rejuvenation Pill and using it to achieve that great feat!
Unfortunately, even though he had managed to research the pill recipe, such a talented disciple of his had died! Yin Baiyue had only just realized that this disciple of his had the talent to research pill recipes that could repair damage!
What a treasure!
"Pfft …" Yin Baiyue's heart ached to the extreme. A mouthful of blood suddenly shot out from his mouth! His heart ached too much. Two of his most valued disciples had been killed one after another. Now, there was a filial disciple who had only just discovered his amazing talent in a certain aspect. What a pity …
If Yin Baiyue knew that his treasured disciple had betrayed him and that this pill recipe was bait left behind by the murderer, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood again?
"I don't care who you are, I'll tear you to shreds! I'll tear you to shreds! " After shouting at the sky, Yin Baiyue carefully staggered away with the blood-stained pill recipe under the fearful gaze of the Black Ballista Army's officer.
Before he left, Yin Baiyue only said one thing, "The murderer's head, or your head!"
The next moment, the Black Ballista Army was mobilized and the entire city was under martial law!
*****
"Heh, Ling Dong, looks like your actions have really infuriated Yin Baiyue! Look at those Revered Martial Protectors flying around in the sky. They're all running around because of you! As an Earth Realm martial artist, you've alarmed so many Heavenly Dipper Realm Revered Martial Protectors and even caused one of the three Prefectures, Yin Baiyue, to suffer in silence. I think you're the only one in the world who can do that! "
While Yin Baiyue was vomiting blood in anger, Ling Dong and Feng Xuelei were sitting in the courtyard under the faint starlight. They were sipping wine and looking at the sky. It felt like they were celebrating something!
"Barely!" Ling Dong, whose mind was not on this matter, replied. To Ling Dong, killing people was the end of it. The pain was left for the enemy. As for himself, he had more important things to do. For example, he had to think about how to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm!
After returning from the killing, Ling Dong had been sitting in the courtyard thinking about this matter. Fortunately, after some hard thinking, he had an idea.
This was because the slots to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm were almost all taken up by the powerful and qualified sects in the Heavenly Dipper Continent. It was impossible for an individual to enter! Ling Dong had never entered the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm in his previous life. However, according to Feng Xuelei's description, when the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm opened, it was impossible to sneak in!
This was because no one could sneak in under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Heavenly Dipper Realm experts who had opened the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm. Moreover, even if one could fool the eyes of those Heavenly Dipper Realm experts who had opened the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm, one could not enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm without the special Heaven Reaching Token!
Since he could not sneak into the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm, Ling Dong had to use the most formal method to enter. That was to find a sect that was qualified to send disciples into the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm. Then, he would become a disciple of that sect!
After thinking about it, Ling Dong could only use this method to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm. This was also Ling Dong's final decision! However, there were not many sects in the Heavenly Dipper Continent who were qualified to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm. In short, the number one sect in the Yaoguang Empire, the Bright Sword Sect, was qualified!
However, according to Feng Xuelei's description, even if the Bright Sword Sect was qualified, they could only have one or two places. It would be difficult for Ling Dong, an outsider, to get one!
Ling Dong had thought about it. If he was more forceful and offered some tempting conditions, if the Bright Sword Sect had two places to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm, he should be able to get one! This might be the best way to obtain the qualification to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm! The difficult part was that it would require Ling Dong to pay a price that Ling Dong could not bear!
After rejecting this idea, Ling Dong set his sights on the sect he had joined in his previous life — the True Dipper Sect!
In his previous life, after he had joined the sect, he had heard from the True Dipper Sect that one year, the sect had sent three to four elite disciples to participate in the Heaven Reaching Conference. After entering the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm, only one of them returned!
Therefore, it could be confirmed that the Zhen Gang Sect that Ling Dong had joined in his previous life, where his beautiful master Qiu Qingyi was from, was qualified to enter the Sky Reaching Mystery Land. Moreover, there were at least three or four disciples!
After thinking about it, Ling Dong felt that if he joined the True Dipper Sect now and carefully prepared himself, he might be able to obtain a place to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm!
"That's settled then! If this still doesn't work, then I'll have to take a risk! " After thinking about it carefully, Ling Dong made up his mind and quickly set off to join the True Dipper Sect!
Ling Dong remembered that the True Dipper Sect would accept disciples in April every year. Now was the right time to go, and no one would be suspicious! The only difficulty was that in just a few months, it would be extremely difficult for Ling Dong to obtain a place to enter the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm from the True Dipper Sect!
"This time, will I still be able to become the disciple of my beautiful master?" After making this decision, a thought suddenly flashed through Ling Dong's mind. It was a thought that made Ling Dong slightly nervous!
After Ling Dong told his decision to Feng Xuelei, Feng Xuelei did not raise any objections and agreed.
"Since there's no problem, Old Lei, I'll go and prepare. If you need anything, do the same! I'll leave the city today after I'm done with my business! "Ling Dong said.
"So soon? So soon?" Feng Xuelei was shocked.
Ling Dong smiled and pointed at the few green figures that were still patrolling in the sky. "It's not that I'm in a hurry! I'm leaving Brilliance City now because I want to avoid them! Today, two of Yin Baiyue's most valued disciples were killed one after another. Although Yin Baiyue was still in a daze, he still hadn't recovered from the shock.
Even though Yin Baiyue has not reacted yet, it won't be long before he suspects me! When that time comes, the enraged Yin Baiyue will probably send people to kill me. The power of a future Pill King is extremely terrifying! "Ling Dong said.
When Ling Dong mentioned the power of a future Pill King, Feng Xuelei's face tightened. Indeed, a future Pill King could easily hire a few Heaven Star Border Realm experts!
"That's why I'm leaving so soon. I want to make Yin Baiyue suffer again! I wonder if Yin Baiyue will faint from anger when he learns that I've disappeared from Brilliance City? "After joking, Ling Dong left in a hurry.
There were many things that he had to do today.
The first was naturally Ling Dong's trip to the Pill King Palace to greet his master, Master Yuan Chenyuan. After all, Master Yuan Chenyuan treated Ling Dong quite well!
To Ling Dong's surprise, the first thing Master Yuan Chenyuan asked when he saw Ling Dong was, "Did you kill Yin Baiyue's two disciples?" This question alerted Ling Dong. If Master Yuan Chenyuan could guess it, how could Yin Baiyue not?
"This …" Ling Dong stammered. Master Yuan Chenyuan laughed heartily!
"Hahahaha, it's really you! Good lad! You've got guts! How satisfying! " Master Yuan Chenyuan praised Ling Dong three times in a row. He laughed heartily. "Dong 'er, I've already found someone to do it. I didn't expect you to do it before me. How satisfying! I heard that Yin Baiyue, that old bastard, vomited blood because of that! Well done! "
Regarding this, Ling Dong could only smile at the side!
"However, although you've successfully taken revenge on Yin Baiyue, you've also successfully angered him! I'm guessing that it won't take long for Yin Baiyue to figure out that you're the culprit! During this time, you'll stay in my Pill Emperor Palace. I'd like to see what Yin Baiyue will do! "Master Yuan Chenyuan said with concern.
"Master, I've already made up my mind. There's also something important that I need to do! I'll leave Brilliance City today! " Ling Dong frankly rejected Master Yuan Chenyuan's suggestion. Under Master Yuan Chenyuan's persuasion, Ling Dong insisted on leaving. Master Yuan Chenyuan had no choice but to give up.
After giving some instructions, Ling Dong left the Pill Emperor Palace and went straight to Kuixing Pavilion! Of course, before he left, Master Yuan Chenyuan gave Ling Dong a few bottles of expensive elixirs for emergency use outside. He also told Ling Dong to be careful!
On the way to Kuixing Pavilion, Ling Dong saw that the streets were filled with Black Crossbow Army. They were very strict with the passersby! However, it was useless against Ling Dong. When he flashed the Jade Tripod Emblem of the Apothecary Manor, the Black Crossbow Army immediately made way for him!
Ling Dong's instructions to Zi Yao were very simple. He mainly told her where he was going. Ling Dong had already treated Zi Yao as his family. In his previous life, he was lonely and lonely. Now, Ling Dong really liked the feeling of having someone who cared about him!
At the same time, he also gave Zi Yao a sum of money equivalent to a million taels of gold. It was not Ling Dong's expenses for Zi Yao! Ling Dong estimated that Gao Yuan, Bai Jiu 'er and her husband would be arriving at Brilliance City in a few days!
And this time, he might only be back in one or two months! So, he gave the money to Zi Yao and asked her to buy some shops and businesses to settle Gao Yuan, Bai Jiu 'er and her husband down.
Ling Dong was very relieved to leave this matter to Zi Yao!
After bidding farewell to Zi Yao and being nagged by Zi Yao to be careful, Ling Dong left Kuixing Pavilion and returned to the Feng Mansion. Then, he went straight to the East Gate with Feng Xue Lei, who had already prepared the camping equipment.
True Gang Sect was located in the East of Brilliance Kingdom. It was not too far away!
As two of Yin Baiyue's favorite disciples were killed, the city gate was not closed. However, the inspection was very strict. There was a long line of people entering and exiting the city.
However, the benefits of special privileges were shown here. Ling Dong and Feng Xue Lei were able to leave the city without any hindrance!
However, Ling Dong and Feng Xue Lei did not go far. After walking for about fifteen minutes, Ling Dong was stopped in the middle of the road before he even reached the pavilion on the ancient road outside Brilliance City!
