A perfectly good Alchemy Tao conference came to an abrupt end due to Ling Zhongtian's sudden collapse with blood spewing from his mouth.
Ling Zhongtian was seriously injured, and he himself didn't even know why he suddenly vomited blood.
Some of the high-ranking individuals of the North Town Hall inferred after perusing ancient records that Ling Zhongtian rashly spoke of the Pill Sovereign and consequently incurred divine punishment.
This was the outcome for those who offended the authority of the Pill Sovereign. Numerous people throughout history have incurred divine punishment for mentioning either the Martial Lord or the Pill Sovereign, with some even being struck dead on the spot by a massive bolt of lightning cast down by Heaven.
Ling Zhongtian was relatively fortunate. He didn't die on the spot for having offended the Pill Sovereign, which is considered a massive stroke of luck.
