Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 694: Chapter 694 Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord_1

”Crack!”

Wu Xiang’s hand directly crushed a silver cup into powder.

He had a bad premonition early on, but he didn’t anticipate that the Sacred Dynasty and the Heavenly King Sect would get involved in this matter.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat heavy.

Among the high-ranking members of the Moon Hua Sect kneeling on the ground, not a single one dared to speak up in dissent.

Such was the power of the Sacred Dynasty.

Even though the current Sacred Dynasty was nearly falling apart, beset by disasters and on the decline, in the eyes of most of its citizens, it was still an exalted existence beyond reproach.

”What do we do? Ling Xiao has actually provoked the Holy Son of the Sacred Dynasty!”

Yang Dan Lin panicked and hastily sent a message asking for advice from the Yuan Venerate.

”What’s there to panic about, how about the Sacred Dynasty, can they just do as they please? Even during their most prosperous days, the Sacred Dynasty couldn’t act so recklessly, let alone now. Stop being afraid, perk up, and don’t disgrace me,” the Yuan Venerate scolded.

”You say it so lightly. The Sacred Dynasty ruled the Heavenly Dragon Continent for over a hundred thousand years. Expecting us to rebel against it, even if I’m willing, my ingrained way of thinking won’t change overnight,” Yang Dan Lin responded with a helpless, bitter smile.

He truly wanted to help Ling Xiao, but at this point, there was simply no way to assist.

Within the core disciples, some were secretly taking pleasure in the misfortune, as Ling Xiao’s existence was a threat to them. They thought that if Ling Xiao were to be captured, their time to shine would come.

Whether this line of thinking was correct or not, that’s what they believed.

”Sect Master Wu, I know you are angry, but given Ling Xiao’s heinous crime, surely you would not sacrifice the entire Moon Hua Sect for his sake?” said the Holy Son, looking at Wu Xiang with a cold smile.

Wu Xiang clenched his fists tightly, with black True Essence enveloping his body, casting a shadow behind him like a demon.

He wore a pitch-black cloak, looking extremely cruel.

Seeing Wu Xiang’s reaction, Chen Nanxing and the others tensed up instantly, especially the white-bearded elder of the Heavenly King Sect, who moved in front of the Holy Son, fearing that Wu Xiang might lash out in violent anger.

Behind him, a golden-armored figure with a long spear appeared as a phantom, majestic and imposing.

Rumors had it, back in the day, the Pagoda Heavenly King’s army boasted a hundred thousand golden-armored soldiers, and this elder’s Martial Soul must have been one of the army’s generals.

As the aura of the two erupted, the pressure in the hall intensified.

Those of weaker strength felt their faces pale and breathing become difficult, with an uncomfortable feeling of cotton wedged in their chests.

”Sect Master, stop this at once. Do you want to see the Moon Hua Sect perishing under your watch?” shouted over a dozen Inner Sect Elders together.

Aside from a few such as the Golden Light Heavenly Lord, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, Yang Dan Lin, the rest were ready to intervene and prevent Wu Xiang from clashing with the Heavenly King Sect.

”Hmph, if a sect can’t even protect its own disciples, what’s the use of it? Might as well be destroyed!” Wu Xiang snorted coldly, showing no intention of stopping and his aura becoming even more terrifying.

”Sect Master Wu, is it really worth doing this just for a mere Ling Xiao?” the Holy Son said with a faint smile. ”Ling Xiao is merely at the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Invincible Realm, hardly anything to fuss over. I have an item here that I can bestow upon your Moon Hua Sect. It will guarantee a supremely talented individual under the age of twenty emerging in your sect within a short period.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand, revealing an ancient and elegant wooden box in her grasp.

Though it was made of wood.

This wood, however, was even more precious than gold and silver, a prized timber for sure, and the carvings on it must have been the work of a master. There were even enchantments and inscriptions on it.

Not to mention anything else, the box alone was certainly a treasure.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Holy Son carefully opened the box, and in just an instant, a wondrous fragrance filled the entire hall. Just one whiff of it was enough to greatly enhance one’s spirits, as if they had consumed some kind of tonic.

”Stand up, everyone. There’s no need to keep kneeling.”

Seeing the surprised and envious looks of those kneeling on the ground filled the Holy Son with satisfaction.

As everyone got up from the ground, they could now see more clearly what was inside the box.

It was a purple-red medicinal pill, about the size of a cherry, lying quietly within the box, radiating a gentle purple-red glow. That tempting aroma was emanating from it.

As the Medicine Hall Master, Yang Danlin naturally had a stronger understanding of medicines than others, so he was the first to exclaim in shock.

”Divine Treasure Tempering Body Pill!”

Martial artists from the Heavenly Dragon Continent were well aware that one’s martial arts talent and nature were intertwined, and although a Martial Soul determined the ultimate limit of one’s achievements, talents were tough to change unless inherited.

Unless, one had some kind of spiritual elixir.

And this Divine Treasure Tempering Body Pill was one such elixir, which, when consumed, could turn the nature of any martial artist into a Godly Treasure Body!

What that signified was well understood by the martial artists present.

After all, the Divine Treasure Tempering Body Pill could only be crafted by an exceptionally skilled alchemist, classified as Yellow Rank Intermediate!

Such a grade of pill, even Yang Danlin couldn’t produce; his highest achievement was a Lower-tier Yellow Rank medicine.

Therefore, his level as an alchemist was termed as a Lower Tier Yellow Medic, or a Yellow Rank Lower Medic.

The ranking of alchemists was determined by the highest quality of pill they could craft.

An alchemist capable of crafting a Divine Treasure Tempering Body Pill was at the very least an Intermediate Pharmacist, certainly more outstanding than the best alchemist in the Moon Hua Sect.

Therefore, such a pill was undoubtedly a sacred relic to the Moon Hua Sect.

...

Within the hall, upon hearing Yang Danlin’s presentation, all the disciples, apart from a few core disciples on good terms with Ling Xiao, revealed fervent looks in their eyes, as if they could hardly wait to swallow the pill right there and then.

”Gulp!”

One could even hear the sound of someone swallowing their saliva uncontrollably.

The allure of the pill was just too great, to the point of driving people mad.

”Hehe, this is a Yellow Rank Intermediate medicinal pill personally crafted by the Imperial Physician, Lord Sun Shang of the Sacred Dynasty. I’m sure many of you have heard of Lord Sun Shang’s prestigious name, haven’t you?”

The Holy Son smiled faintly; she seemed to relish the sight of the Moon Hua Sect’s people losing their composure in excitement.

In her laughter was a sense of pride and self-satisfaction.

To have an Imperial Physician craft a pill was a privilege reserved only for the Holy Son of the Sacred Dynasty, and even the Crown Prince himself did not possess such a qualification, let alone others.

”To think it is the work of Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang, no wonder it’s extraordinary.”

There were naturally those among the Moon Hua Sect who recognized Sun Shang’s name, and not just a few.

That’s because this Sun Shang was the most distinguished alchemist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, hailing from the Heavenly King Sect and specifically concocting pills and medicines for the Sacred Emperor and the Holy Son.

Countless powerful individuals sought to curry favor with him, to get close to him, but had no way to do so.

If it weren’t for the identity of the Holy Son, the prospect of obtaining a spiritual elixir from Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang would have been utterly impossible.
