"King of Pills".
Tian Ning spoke, but it wasn't a question.
Following the pattern, after passing three levels, it's time to face the big boss.
"Indeed, it is I." The Pill King stroked his beard and sighed, "Young friend, I see your unwavering will. You even destroyed the Rejuvenation Pill formula without hesitation! I greatly admire a child like you who can distinguish right from wrong!"
"oh."
Tian Ning casually drew his iron sword, pointing the tip at Dan Wang without any respect for the elder: "So, old man, are you ready to die?"
Pill King: "..."
"Young friend, wait a moment!" Dan Wang interrupted, "You'll understand once I tell you a story."
Tianning: "..."
So is this a storytelling tradition?
"As the genius alchemist who created the Resurrection Pill formula, my original intention was only to help my dear friend revive his Daoist partner. However, the people in this world are treacherous. They all try to use the Resurrection Pill to achieve their goals by any means necessary. Even Shi Caishan's ancestor was not a descendant of me, the Pill King. Instead, he was a thief who stole my Resurrection Pill formula!" Before Tian Ning could even agree, the Pill King began to ramble on.
Tianning: "..."
"Back then, her family tried to use my reputation as a descendant of the Pill King to rise to the top, but they never expected it would bring them such a disaster. Later, they had no choice but to go into hiding and live in hiding..."
"I helped Shi Caishan kill the Yin family because I hate those bastards who used the Rejuvenation Pill to harm others! As for keeping Shi Caishan here, it's to make her pay for the sins committed by the Shi family. If it weren't for the Shi family ancestor's momentary lapse of judgment back then, how could countless cultivators have fought tooth and nail for the Rejuvenation Pill formula?"
Fortunately, the old man knew how to be concise, otherwise he could have talked for a whole day and night.
"Now you know how hard it has been for me, right?"
Dan Wang looked extremely sincere.
He even changed the scene and took Tianning to a place with lush flowers and plants. There were many living people lying on the ground. They were the survivors of the first round of trials. Tianning also saw Gongsun Yi.
However, there were far fewer people; they probably failed to pass through the secret realm, and their bodies were dragged away after they died.
“Even if these people didn’t come here voluntarily, they are greedy for the Resurrection Pill. If we let them go back alive and leak the information, it will only bring disaster to the cultivation world…” As the Pill King spoke, he raised his hand to dispel the illusion, opening a passage. He even took out a mustard seed bag of pills and presented it to Tian Ning, saying:
"Young friend, you are of excellent character and have no ulterior motives. I'm sure you won't be like the others after you leave! I trust you, so you may go!"
Seeing that Tianning did not make a move, he added, "Don't worry, this time I am really leaving the inheritance. You should know that I am not lying to you."
It is true that she can leave the tradition, but Tianning has no intention of leaving.
The old man was only telling the truth.
The only reason he let Tianning go was because of Qiuqiu's intimidation. Evil spirits have always had an instinctive fear of the Phoenix Flame. He sensed danger from Tianning, and it was better to let her leave quickly than to confront her head-on!
But the Pill King would never have imagined that the Demon Sword had already given Tian Ning a warning from the moment they met.
This guy... is the remnant soul of a demonic cultivator!
Although this place is where the alchemy formulas are passed down, the Pill King has long since fallen into demonic cultivation, which is why this place has become a place of death for countless cultivators.
He has harmed so many cultivators; if he is allowed to stay here, even more cultivators will suffer the same fate.
