A pill?
Yang Xu looked at the exquisite pill patterns and the ancient aura emanating from it.
He could tell that the grade of this pill was definitely high!
However, what surprised Yang Xu was...
He couldn't recognize what kind of pill this was.
At this moment, Hong Ying's voice came from the Grass Hall.
"This is the Breaking Yuan Pill, used by those in the Early Qianyuan Realm to break through. It guarantees a hundred percent success in breaking through, but afterward, further advancement becomes impossible."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xu's expression turned shocked.
A hundred percent success for breaking through the Early Qianyuan Realm?
Although it was a minor realm, in the Qianyuan Realm, even advancing a minor realm was extremely difficult!
How many people spent their entire lives without breaking through?
Although advancement would be impossible thereafter, given Yang Xu's situation, would there even be a thereafter for him?
Therefore, this pill was extremely precious to Yang Xu!
Qin Tiannan asked in surprise, "Hong Ying, where did such a precious pill come from?"
Without hesitation, Hong Ying replied, "It's from Master."
Master's?
The elder of the Dan Hall breathed hurriedly and asked, "Can Lu Changsheng refine this pill?"
Even if he personally tried to refine this pill, perhaps with the recipe, he couldn't produce it!
This pill was at least a Earth-grade pill!
Moreover, its quality was exceptionally pure, with no impurities in its pill patterns!
"Where is Lu Changsheng now?"
Hong Ying also found it strange and said, "Master is not in the Grass Hall right now."
"When Lu Changsheng returns, you must inform me immediately!"
Ye Qiubai looked at Hong Ying with a strange expression and said, "Junior Sister, are you pushing Master away like this? You know his personality."
Hong Ying shrugged, "Then what should I say? If I said it was mine, they'd have even more questions."
Ye Qiubai covered his face.
He already imagined how Master would deal with the two of them when he returned...
At this moment, Yang Xu also clasped his fists and said, "When I break through, I will come and thank Master."
With that, Yang Xu turned into a streak of light and left, flying towards the depths of the Hidden Dao Academy.
Qin Tiannan and the others also left one after another.
Ye Qiubai looked around and scratched his head, "Where did Master go? Doesn't he usually never leave?"
Hong Ying shook her head, "Master has his own matters. Let's focus on our cultivation."
Ye Qiubai nodded, but couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Master... has his own matters?
...
Meanwhile, in a dim forest in the Northern Region.
The trees in the forest were yellowing and withered.
Most of the leaves had already fallen, leaving only bare branches!
However, these withered trees were densely packed, their branches crisscrossing in mid-air like spiderwebs.
Even sunlight found it difficult to penetrate.
Only scattered rays of light managed to "squeeze" through the branches.
This made the place extremely gloomy, dark as pitch.
Deep within this forest...
There was a formation.
From the outside, it appeared as a large mountain.
But inside, it was a pavilion!
On the plaque of the pavilion was engraved two characters: Shadow Kill!
At the highest level of the pavilion...
"Hmm? The Soul Token of the First Kill has dissipated?"
Among them, a black-robed man respectfully looked at the figure sitting on the high platform, nodding, "Yes, just a stick of incense ago, the Soul Token of the First Kill disappeared. It seems the mission failed..."
The man on the high platform wore a mask, but his right eye revealed a deep scar.
Within Shadow Kill, there were internal rankings.
The First Kill had the highest success rate and received the most rewards.
"The First Kill also failed?" The man on the high platform frowned. "According to the information, Ye Qiubai had just entered the Qi Sea Realm. With the strength of the First Kill, it should have been more than enough to kill Ye Qiubai."
"Could it be that the information is wrong?"
The realm of the First Kill is at the early stage of the Qianyuan Realm.
A Qianyuan Realm expert can't even kill someone who has just entered the Qi Sea Realm?
That's too unbelievable.
"Guild Master, could it be that someone powerful is assisting Ye Qiubai?"
The Guild Master of the Shadow Killers shook his head and said, "If someone can hold off the First Kill, their strength would be at least in the top ten of the Martial Ranking."
And the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers ranks 8th on the Martial Rankings of the Four Realms.
However, even the 4th ranked Lord of the Sunset Dynasty is extremely wary of the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers.
His assassination skills are extremely terrifying!
At this moment, a voice rang out.
"Martial Ranking? I'm not on the Martial Ranking."
Both the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers and the man in black were stunned and suddenly looked forward.
There was a young man in blue clothes!
"Who are you, sir?"
The Guild Master of the Shadow Killers looked wary.
He could hide from their perception and appear silently in front of them.
What does this mean?
This person's strength is not inferior to his own!
It might even be stronger!
After all, he was an assassin, very sensitive to certain auras.
The young man in blue clothes shrugged, "Weren't you just talking about me?"
The person who appeared was Lu Changsheng!
The Guild Master of the Shadow Killers stood up and looked at Lu Changsheng, "Did you kill him?"
Lu Changsheng nodded, "I think I made myself clear, didn't I?"
The Guild Master of the Shadow Killers snorted coldly and suddenly disappeared from where he was standing!
The entire hall seemed to be shrouded in mist!
This was the Shadow Kill Formation!
While others might need to work together to use the Shadow Kill Formation.
The Guild Master of the Shadow Killers could set it up alone!
Its power would also be greater than smaller.
Lu Changsheng glanced around, blinked, and said, "Shadow Kill Formation?"
Outside the formation, the man in black smirked, "The Shadow Kill Formation is our survival skill!
Once inside, it shields all perception! Making it undefendable."
Shielding perception?
Lu Changsheng was stunned. In his eyes, the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers was standing slightly to his left and front.
Looking at him like a fool.
From time to time, he even moved closer to him.
And you tell me this is called perception shielding?
Lu Changsheng was furious, pointing at where the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers was, yelling, "What kind of shielding is this? He's right there!"
Why so angry?
While Lu Changsheng didn't think himself very clever, he definitely wasn't a complete idiot.
He felt his intelligence was being insulted.
In an instant, the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Was I just discovered?
Is my Shadow Kill Formation fake?
To prevent Lu Changsheng from stumbling on a solution, the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers changed position again, this time appearing behind Lu Changsheng.
But Lu Changsheng turned around again, exasperated, "Seriously, can't you find a better hiding spot?"
The Guild Master of the Shadow Killers still didn't believe it and changed direction again.
This time, Lu Changsheng couldn't hold back. His face full of anger, he rushed forward and grabbed the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers.
While scolding, "Do you think I'm blind or stupid?"
Meanwhile, slap after slap landed on the Guild Master of the Shadow Killers' head.
The crisp sound echoed throughout the entire hall...
