Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Han Yu had just taken a step forward when he revealed his figure, and the entire outside of Dongling City fell eerily silent, almost as if a pin could be heard dropping.

A group of people stared intently at the city walls, all waiting for him to speak.

This kid has become quite a hot commodity now?

If things go wrong, who knows what consequences will unfold.

With so many cultivators gathered here, to be honest, even an Elder of one of the Nine Sects would feel intimidated.

Thousands of cultivators! Without even mentioning the potential destruction, just a minor dispute could lead to a great disaster.

Otherwise, Dongling City wouldn’t have shut its gates today.

The guardian here is also terrified to death, counting today’s recently sent Communication Bird, this is the fourth urgent report already.

Yet, the Inspectorate has taken no action so far, nor has any instruction arrived, which inevitably makes this diligent guardian feel that Dongling City is about to be abandoned.

Han Yu glanced at the vast crowd and after some thought, spoke up.

”I have something to inform everyone, from today onwards, apart from the West River Pill, only one Pill will be distributed each day, and it will continue this way.”

The voice wasn’t loud, but those present here today all had high cultivation, so they could hear it loud and clear.

After the words landed, the originally silent area outside the city erupted like a wave.

The crowd came here for the Pills, didn’t they?

Only one each time?

Wouldn’t that lead to people fighting over it?

”What’s the deal? Is this guy putting on airs? Thousands of people and only one Pill is up for grabs?”

A newly arrived cultivator frowned dissatisfiedly in the air.

More direct ones immediately shouted across the air.

”Pharmacist Han, isn’t this inappropriate, with so many people, can’t you take out more?”

”Exactly! With so many of us, just one a day, we’d be waiting until doomsday.”

Someone speaks up, and others join in.

And quite a few are agreeing.

”It’s rather shameless!”

Qi Bai suddenly opened his mouth, sneering endlessly.

He then walked over to Han Yu, speaking naturally for the Great Elder to hear, as an evil path demon, the chance to mock the righteous path on moral grounds is rare.

Indeed, Han Yu was almost giving away the Pills for free, yet this group could shamelessly ask for more... such righteousness!

If they just directly took him, it would indeed make him look up to them, at least they’d be blatantly bad.

This kind of covert wickedness is what he despises the most.

”If it were me, why waste words, first take down the little pharmacist, and take him back to knead and squish him.”

Qi Bai said with malice, looking at Han Yu. The Good Deeds and Evil Exorcism Pill had tricked him too badly, though he had voluntarily taken it, but every time he thought about the days to come in the next year, it made his teeth itch with anger.

Clearly, Qi Bai’s words were also heard by the cultivators, and indeed some cultivators’ expressions turned dark, and there were quite a few of them.

The Great Elder snorted coldly.

For this troublemaker fearing the world is not chaotic enough, he didn’t show a good face.

”An evil path is still an evil path!”

He said mockingly, then stood beside Han Yu.

For one, protection, and second, it’s an attitude, the attitude of the Nine Sects.

Once he stood there, the noise indeed decreased, only leaving murmuring.

Han Yu shook his head, whatever intentions this group had, how could he not know.

This is even better, since they are this kind of people, many Pills with misleading effects would leave him with even more peace of mind.

”No more idle talk, whoever dares can come up to take it.”

Han Yu took out a Pill, facing the vast crowd, he spoke loudly.

Self-Binding Pill: After consuming the Pill, the user’s life force turns into silk forming a cocoon, the cultivation speed inside the cocoon increases threefold, side effects: the silk formation process occurs once daily, each time extracting three days of life force, cannot be interrupted, until life force is depleted.

In an instant, the entire scene fell silent.

What followed was gasps of astonishment.

Threefold cultivation effect, many were shocked by such an effect, what does this mean?

”Doesn’t that mean my day’s cultivation is equivalent to someone else’s three days?”

A cultivator couldn’t control his excitement, speaking with a reddened face.

”You’re wrong, only your cultivation effect equals your own three days of effort.”

Someone rebutted, everyone’s aptitudes are different, so naturally, their cultivation effects differ.

Otherwise, how would those disciples from major sects incite envy and jealousy with their profound cultivation at a young age?

”That’s right, doesn’t this mean that this Pill, the better one’s aptitude, the stronger the effect!”

Someone realized this point, shouting loudly.

This is the most crucial part, this Pill is not limited to specific people, as the effect is threefold cultivation.

They’ve never seen such a heaven-defying Pill, so much so that they didn’t even care about the side effects.

This Pill suits me!

Almost every cultivator present thought this way.

With such a powerful Pill, if used on oneself, wouldn’t it be a meteoric rise?

If it usually took ten years to achieve these accomplishments, now it could be done in just over three years.

Even more, some have already begun to imagine themselves advancing their cultivation, fistfighting the Nine Sect prodigies, and kicking the major sect ants.

Not to mention them, in the Great Elder’s eyes, this is also a Divine Pill.

”Didn’t I just remind you not to take out such heaven-defying Pills anymore, or do you want this to end badly?”

Standing close to Han Yu, the Great Elder sighed softly.

Pills like these, the more Han Yu takes out, the more cultivators are going to flock to Dongling City tomorrow.

It seems that what happened here has already been spread further by those with intentions.

”So, what’s the condition this time? I want it.”

Qi Bai, stunned for a moment, suddenly spoke up.

”You? Do you have the life to consume it?”

The Great Elder sneered sarcastically before Han Yu could even respond.

Qi Bai was momentarily stunned again, but he hadn’t been completely reckless. He remembered the side effects of the pill and soon his face darkened.

Based on his own past experiences of being deceived, a pill that provides such immense effects surely comes with equally enormous drawbacks.

It consumes three days of life for each day, which amounts to three additional years per year, and thirty years in a decade...

The more he calculated, the more terrifying it seemed.

Your cultivation might improve, but you’d turn into someone short-lived.

If there’s no way to replenish the deficit, you’d end up dying prematurely on your path of cultivation.

The difficulty of replenishing life is well-known—just look at these old guys—and suddenly, Qi Bai broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he almost fell into a trap again.

At this moment, he looked at Han Yu with great apprehension.

This guy, he kills without drawing blood.

”This pill...don’t give it to the Evil Path.”

The Great Elder looked at Han Yu with a face full of hesitation.

No matter how deceitful, the improvement from the pill was terrifying, and his gaze toward Han Yu was full of curiosity. How could this guy refine such heaven-defying pills?

The pursuit of him by the sects was not without reason; his pills could easily make a sect rise swiftly.

This pill, he wanted to harm the Evil Path with it, but also feared it would create a formidable opponent out of the blue.

If Qi Bai became short-lived, he’d be delighted, but if Qi Bai became strong quickly, it would be a headache.

”Be humane, will you? Stop bringing out such pills in the future.”

The Great Elder sighed helplessly.

”Whatever the conditions are for this pill, the Divine Tao Sect wants it!”

Liang Hailong stepped forward and flew out several meters, cupping his hands as he spoke.

He couldn’t help being tempted. He was still considered young, and his cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection Realm. With the help of this pill, entering the Realm of Transcendence wouldn’t be difficult.

If not in a year, then two, or five, at worst ten years could do. With such assistance, he felt he ought to have the chance to step into a new realm.

”Whatever the conditions are for this pill, the Western Celestial Saber Sect wants it.”

There were quite a few people with such thoughts, and at this moment, cultivators started voicing out one after another.

”Have you all thought this through, about the side effects...”

An unusually clear-headed Great Perfection Cultivator hastily spoke, having been pondering the effects of the pill meticulously and naturally identifying this massive drawback.

”That’s why I’m younger than you all. Let me have the pill.”

The Great Elder thought someone wise had come forward, but what came next was utterly shocking.

”In terms of age, I’m just over thirty, making me more suitable.”

”It’s not hard for our sect to pick a ten-something-year-old disciple.”

”In that case, I’m even more suitable. They want it consumed immediately, and I’m both young and capable of immediate consumption.”

In reality, it wasn’t just those high-tier cultivators; this pill’s potential for inciting frenzy was instead most among those young sect disciples brought along.

They had youth to squander, thus fewer concerns.

And this pill was enough to change their fate, potentially allowing their future cultivation speed to leave many major sects’ disciples in the dust.

Maybe just ten years or so, and they could effortlessly achieve a realm they once couldn’t even dream of.

The Great Elder looked extremely troubled at the increasingly explosive atmosphere brewing below; indeed, the thing he feared most still happened.

There was only one pill, yet it was something most people wanted.

Fighting over it still seemed manageable; the fear was someone might end up with their head cracked open.

Qi Bai wore a schadenfreude-filled expression; the more heated things got, the more entertaining it became.

”This is how you all self-proclaim as those of the Righteous Path, and it’s almost turning into a brawl.”

The Great Elder looked at the other with a sullen face and then spoke softly to Han Yu.

”You’d better set some conditions; if you keep giving it away freely, you’ll really be in trouble.”

If it truly gets given away for free or with very low conditions, among the many cultivators present, everyone could compete, and there would definitely be major chaos.

-----------------

”It’s definitely going to cause major chaos.”

Quan Xiaotong leisurely opened the fifth emergency report and read it slowly.

”And you can still sit there?”

Gao Feng’s face was exceedingly anxious, pacing back and forth incessantly.

Each piece of news was worse than the last, bad already yesterday, and even worse today.

”Chaos was bound to happen sooner or later. The more people there are, the fewer pills available. It’s impossible to satisfy most people.”

Quan Xiaotong spoke with a smile.

As long as Han Yu didn’t hide away, today’s situation was inevitable.

The Corpse Refining Lineage wouldn’t likely let him hide.

”I don’t want him to hide either.”

Quan Xiaotong lightly tapped the desk, then smiled again.

”And you’re laughing?”

Gao Feng, exasperated, couldn’t help but complain, ”Do you even know, if something like this happens, Dongling City is as good as gone.”

If thousands of cultivators started causing trouble in Dongling City, it could turn into ruins in an instant.

”How did the tasks I entrusted you with fare?”

Quan Xiaotong didn’t get offended but instead inquired.

”It’s all done; you can rest easy. No one’s watching over this old guy, and besides, keeping an eye on me would be too conspicuous.”

Gao Feng spoke with little good humor and, after a moment of reflection, couldn’t help sighing once more.

”Do you know the cost of your actions might be greater than you can bear, an entire city!”

”You don’t understand. Initially calm waters now stirred into waves, I only thought there was a fish, but upon diving in, I found a big fish, a big fish from the dust of history...”

Quan Xiaotong patted an unassuming, yellowing dossier on the desk, still deeply moved even now.

”I think I’ve already grabbed its tail...”
