Immortal Path to Heaven - Chapter 1209 - Rewarded Them With Golden Pills

What happened in the Yangming Villa quickly spread to every corner of the city as everyone added fuel to the fire.

Regardless of whether everyone believed what happened at that time or not, it was a fact that Starlight City had a new governor.

The original governor of Starlight City was very miserable. It was said that his soul was locked by the Seven Stars Pavilion and only after 1,000 years would he have the hope of reincarnating.

As for the crime, it was colluding with a traitor of the Seven Stars Pavilion.

This did not seem to have anything to do with the Yangming Villa, but the governor had led his men to besiege the villa, and many people had seen it.

That time, the city guards had suffered heavy losses, and it was rumored that the Seven Stars Pavilion’s head had appeared on that day.

No matter what, everyone in Starlight City knew about the Yangming Villa. All the clans in the city would warn their prodigal descendants that no matter who they provoked, they were not allowed to provoke the people from the Yangming Villa.

Of course, those young masters were not stupid. Their leader, who was the second young master of the Governor’s Residence, had his heart meridian crippled and hung on a tree. These little shrimps did not have the courage to do so.

They did not even dare to walk past that place, let alone offend anyone from there.

The new governor was a young man. It was rumored that he had been appointed by the Seven Stars Pavilion. The first thing he did when he came to Starlight City was to visit the Yangming Villa. Nonetheless, because the master of the villa was in closed-door cultivation, he did not see him.

These days, Ou Yangming had been refining pills.

In a secret room, mists were rising, and flames were surging in the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. The temperature in the room seemed to be able to melt people.

The Swift Tortoise lay on the ground lazily. If one observed carefully, one would discover that it had already broken through to become a Venerable One.

From a low-grade spirit beast into a Venerable One, this fat round tortoise at the bottom of the food chain had evolved at a speed that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After eating the Three Revolutions Golden Pill and sleeping for a few days, the Swift Tortoise successfully broke through. It broke through in its sleep without any risk. When it woke up, it had the strength of a Venerable One.

Once the Swift Tortoise became a Venerable One, its size had increased by a lot. Some dark grey patterns appeared on the shell on its back. Compared to before, it looked a few levels higher. If one did not observe carefully, one would not be able to tell that it was that ugly and stupid slow tortoise that could only be reduced to delicious soup.

After a moment, a fragrant smell appeared in the pill furnace.

Ou Yangming had a happy smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and grabbed, and 3 Golden Pills flew out of the furnace.

These pills were very similar to the Three Revolutions Golden Pill, except that there were a few more patterns on them.

Ou Yangming looked at the medicinal pills in his hand with joy on his face.

“The Five Revolutions Golden Pills have been completed!”

It had been half a month since the last time Starlight City’s governor and Blood Massacre besieged the mountain villa. After countless failures, Ou Yangming finally succeeded in refining the Five Revolutions Golden Pills.

The Golden Pills flickered with immense pill Qi, looking very extraordinary.

Once one success for the first time, the second time would be much easier. Alchemy and other things were the same; everything was difficult at the beginning.

Smelling the fragrance, the Swift Tortoise that was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up. Its speed was astonishing. Its round little eyes stared at the pills in Ou Yangming’s hand.

Ou Yangming walked over, and he patted the head of the tortoise, which was so scared that it hurriedly hid its head in the shell.

It moved so fast that even Ou Yangming did not have time to react. He slapped the shell.

‘If it’s already like this as a Venerable One, what would happen if it becomes a Ruler?’

Ou Yangming’s face darkened. He knocked twice on the shell and shouted, “Come out!”

The Swift Tortoise had no choice but to slowly stick out its head. It was very careful, afraid that Ou Yangming would directly cut off its head. The Swift Tortoise, which had been delusional with persecution, had always firmly believed that the young fellow had not given up on eating it.

Now that it was fat, compared to its companions, it was absolutely out of the ordinary. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was 1 in 10,000.

Ou Yangming placed a Five Revolutions Golden Pill in front of its eyes. The Swift Tortoise moved its lips and almost drooled. Its eyes were fixed on the pill. The fragrance made it feel refreshed. It felt that it was definitely a good thing.

“Your strength is too weak. You can’t eat it now,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice. The Five Revolutions Golden Pills in his hand flashed and was put into the Long Feather Band.

The Swift Tortoise was very disappointed. It lay on the ground as if it had lost its strength.

Ou Yangming smiled and said, “That was a good thing. I can give it to you, but you’re too weak now. It’s a waste to eat it. As long as you cultivate diligently and break through to a top-grade Venerable One as soon as possible, I’ll let you eat that to your heart’s content!”

The Swift Tortoise’s small eyes once again emitted bright lights. It hurriedly lay on the ground and began to cultivate.

Originally, the tortoise only relied on its instincts to cultivate. After seeing how pitiful it was, Lil’ Red found a technique that didn’t belong to the Phoenixes from its inherited memories and told it. This gave the tortoise the hope to cultivate.

Looking at the Swift Tortoise that was seriously cultivating, Ou Yangming smiled. He really wanted to know what kind of terrifying speed the tortoise would have after breaking through to a Ruler.

Now that it had just broken through to a Venerable One, Ou Yangming found that its speed had surpassed most of the Rulers. Even a powerhouse in the law boundary might not compare to it without using the power of the laws.

Once this gene was messed up, it would become unmanageable. Ou Yangming really wanted to know where its limit was.

After resting for a while, Ou Yangming continued to refine pills. After having the first successful experience, he also succeeded the second time.

Ou Yangming continued to refine pills 3 times in a row. In the end, he failed once and succeeded twice. After 4 successful attempts, he had 12 Five Revolutions Golden Pills in his hands.

“These should be enough.”

Ou Yangming put all the Golden Pills into the Long Feather Band and walked out of the secret room.

In the evening, he called the 8 guards in the villa.

They had been diligent these days. After seeing Ou Yangming’s powerful strength, they did not have any complaints. Even if their daily patrol delayed their cultivation, they did not complain.

Ou Yangming saw it with his eyes. How could he mistreat the people who followed him?

“Master Ou.”

The guards were very respectful. They did not know why Ou Yangming was looking for them. Except for the 8 people, Butler Bai Cong was also at the side.

“You’ve worked hard these days.” Ou Yangming glanced at everyone with a smile.

“It’s not hard. Master Ou, these are the things that we should do,” the few of them said modestly.

Ou Yangming smiled and said, “There’s no such thing as should or shouldn’t. I believe that when you come to my side, you’ll have some expectations.”

Awkward looks flashed across their faces. They were all chosen by the head but when they saw the envious eyes of the other inner sect disciples, they were very happy. They thought that there would be a boundless future if they stayed by Ou Yangming’s side. Nevertheless, these few days had passed, yet they had not received any benefits. The only benefit was that the head had promised to give them the status of a direct disciple when they returned to the sect.

That day would be very far away.

Ou Yangming stretched out his hand and grabbed, and 8 Golden Pills appeared in his hand. Seeing this, the guards seemed to have thought of something. Their breathings were a little hurried, and they looked at him with burning eyes.

Although they had left the sect, they were still in contact with their former senior and junior brothers. They had become Ou Yangming’s companions and became popular among the others. Some interesting things about the sect were told to them through voice transmission.

They knew that when Master Ou had left the Seven Stars Pavilion, he had compensated the sect with 3 medicinal pills. Those 3 medicinal pills were magical.

2 of the pills had been eaten, and the 2 beneficiaries had broken through to become Rulers, becoming the sect’s favorites. 1 of the 2 had become a core direct disciple, and the other was even more fearsome. It was said that he had directly comprehended the laws and become an elder in preparation.

Master Ou’s pills were passed down in the Seven Stars Pavilion like gods. The guards looked at the pills in Ou Yangming’s hands and could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.

“Could this be…”

Seeing their expressions, Ou Yangming also understood what they had guessed, He said, “I think you should also know something. These are the Five Revolutions Golden Pills. They’re exactly the same as the 3 that I gave to the Seven Stars Pavilion. Take them as some compensation for you.”

If it was something else, the guards might still be polite. This time, no one refused. To them, the pills were dispensable treasures, but the hope of breaking through to Rulers…

What did every top-grade Venerable One want the most? Was it not just to have greater strength to break through the bottleneck and become a Ruler?

Now, this opportunity was right in front of them.

Their eyes were burning, and they excitedly said, “Thank you, Master Ou!”

Ou Yangming divided the Golden Pills among the 8 of them. Each of them had one.

“Eat them here. If anything happens, I can help you.”

After all, these Golden Pills were not the original version refined by the Crimson Ruler. Ou Yangming’s alchemy skills were still a little inferior to that of the Crimson Ruler. Without testing, no one knew if there would be any accidents.

Of course, the probability of accidents was almost negligible. After all, the medicinal pills were successful. It did not make any difference who refined them.

The guards swallowed the Five Revolutions Golden Pill without any hesitation. Once the Golden Pills entered their mouths, they could not control what happened after that. Everyone’s expression was similar. They could feel the heat in their bodies.

“Meditate and cultivate,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.

The 8 of them sat cross-legged with their palms facing up. They silently chanted the cultivation techniques in their hearts, and their spiritual powers began to slowly flow in their bodies.

After a moment, a strong aura burst out from one of them. Ou Yangming’s expression slightly changed. His power of laws appeared and blocked the guard’s body, preventing him from affecting the others.

‘He broke through!’

Bai Cong, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. This guard who was a top-grade Venerable One had broken through to become a Ruler right in front of him.

‘Didn’t they say that there’s a huge barrier between Venerable Ones and Rulers?

‘Didn’t they say that one will have to enter seclusion for at least 1,000 years?’

Bai Cong did not know about the matter of Ou Yangming gifting the Seven Stars Pavilion medicinal pills. His gaze once again turned to another person. Soon, that person’s aura surged, and the aura of a Ruler appeared on his body.

‘Another breakthrough…’

Bai Cong felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, and he could not speak for a long time.
