When Aotian stepped into the Room, he was truly stunned by the scene inside.
Before Aotian's eyes lay a vast stone ground, covered with shadows of people. Numerous pills were scattered in the air, and upon initial estimation, there were tens of thousands of them. These pills seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, continuously swirling in the air.
The figures on the stone ground kept flickering, and Mystical Energy surged towards the pills in the sky. Sometimes, several warriors would compete for a single pill, resulting in a Free-for-All. The entire scene appeared extremely chaotic.
As he gazed at the pills spinning in the air, a layer of fiery excitement gradually spread across Aotian's eyes.
Among these pills, even the lowest quality one was not inferior to the Small Pill awarded at the Aotian Family Test Tournament.
Pills are classified from low to high as First-Grade Pills, Second-Grade Pills, Third-Grade Pills... up to Ninth-Grade Pills, with each grade further divided into low-level, mid-level, and high-level categories.
Of course, a higher-grade pill is not necessarily better; rather, the best pill is one that is most suitable for oneself.
For example, if you are severely injured, even a Ninth-Grade pill meant for breaking through cultivation realms would be of no use. Therefore, sometimes a First-Grade pill can be more precious than a Ninth-Grade pill.
The classification of pill grades is used to indicate the strength of their effects.
For instance, the efficacy of a Second-Grade pill is certainly more useful than that of a First-Grade pill.
The Small Pill that Aotian obtained during the Test Match was a high-level First-Grade pill, while now First-Grade pills were carelessly scattered like trash.
Among these pills, Aotian could faintly sense an invigorating fragrance. Pills that emit such a scent likely reached the Third Grade.
Looking at the densely packed crowd on the stone ground, Aotian felt a slight tingling on his scalp; the occasional screams seemed to testify to the brutality of this pill contest.
Aotian slowly exhaled a breath of white air and then headed straight towards an area with relatively fewer warriors.
"Boom!"
Terrifying Golden Energy erupted from within Aotian's body and surged towards several pills entangled together in the air.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, several emerald-green pills appeared in Aotian's hand.
"Azure Spirit Pill?"
Looking at the three pills in his hand, Aotian was slightly surprised, and the excitement in his eyes intensified.
The Azure Spirit Pill is a low-grade second-tier pill that has excellent effects for healing injuries.
Without a second thought, Aotian swallowed one of the Azure Spirit Pills whole.
Instantly, the injuries caused by Snow Qincheng and Qiu Mingjie began to heal significantly. The effectiveness of this pill was many times better than the Healing Pill he had purchased in the trading area.
Based on Aotian's estimation, the only pill that could rival the Azure Spirit Pill in effectiveness would be the Great Recovery Pill.
"Truly worthy of being from the Soul Elder's ruins; the pills he collected are extraordinary..." Aotian licked his lips and murmured.
Suddenly, a fire-red pill about the size of a longan caught Aotian's eye.
"Is that... Innate Pill?!"
Gazing at the red pill, Aotian's breathing became heavy.
The Innate Pill is a high-grade second-tier pill. Its function is similar to that of the Great Recovery Pill, as it can help martial artists in the Innate Realm break through their cultivation. However, its efficacy is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the Great Recovery Pill, which is merely a low-grade second-tier pill.
If Aotian were to consume this Innate Pill right now, he would surely be able to break through to Innate Triple. At that point, combined with the dominance of the Heaven Devouring Seal and the peculiarities of the Transformation Technique, he believed he could handle any opponent unless they were like Snow Qincheng, a Half-Step Human Spirit martial artist.
Aotian's figure began to stealthily move toward the Innate Pill. At this moment, pills were flying all over the Room. Therefore, few people noticed the Innate Pill. Aotian planned to quietly pocket it first before anyone else could react.
"Hehe, the Innate Pill is within reach!"
Looking at the fire-red pill right before him, Aotian's eyes were filled with greed. He then reached out eagerly toward the Innate Pill.
"Whoosh"
At that moment, a fierce and cold force shot towards Aotian's chest.
If Aotian had chosen to absorb the Innate Pill at that moment, he would have been struck by this force, and even now, being hit by this attack would not bode well for him.
Aotian's expression darkened slightly, and then he pointed his toes forward, stopping the figure that was rushing toward the Innate Pill. The force flew past Aotian, crashing into the stone ground.
Immediately, the hard stone surface was shattered with spiderweb-like cracks, and a chilling aura seeped from within those fissures.
Aotian's eyes flashed with killing intent; if he had truly tried to withstand that attack with his body just now, the outcome would have been quite tragic.
Thinking this, Aotian's gaze turned dark as he looked toward the figure beside him.
It was a lean man in a black robe, his lips sharp like a knife, and his eyes occasionally glinted with cold light as if to tell Aotian: I am not an easy opponent.
"Who are you, and why did you attack me?" Aotian asked in a deep voice.
A hoarse voice emerged from the lean man's throat:
"Heh heh, the temptation of the Innate Pill is enough for me to take action and eliminate you."
Aotian's face immediately clouded over, as if heralding an impending storm:
"Who exactly are you?"
"Heh heh, you can call me Sword Mo You."
"Blood Sword Jian Mo You?!" Aotian exclaimed, his face filled with seriousness.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect you to recognize me."
"The name 'Blood Sword' is not only renowned in Mystic Spirit Town, but it also carries a fearsome reputation in surrounding cities. How could a kid like you not recognize it?!"
Sword Mo You's origins are mysterious; no one knows where he came from, but he is undeniably a genuine Innate Eightfold warrior.
This individual once used an Iron Sword to massacre an Adventure Team composed of dozens of members. Most importantly, the captain of this Adventure Team was also an Innate Eightfold warrior, yet the outcome was that the entire team was wiped out without a trace. Thus, Sword Mo You earned the title of Blood Sword.
He is extremely bloodthirsty and ruthless; when he strikes, his Iron Sword must taste blood.
"Since you know my name, little brat, why don't you get lost?!" Sword Mo You's face twisted into a bloody smile as a chilling aura gradually spread from his body.
"Today, let me see if the name Blood Sword lives up to its reputation!"
In order to obtain the Innate Pill and break through to Innate Triple, Aotian clearly would not back down because of a Blood Sword Jian Mo You.
"You will regret this..."
A fierce momentum mixed with strands of Bloodthirst erupted violently from Sword Mo You's body...
