Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 321: Chapter 263: Delivering People to the Inspectorate

West of the Northern Border.

Celestial City Peak.

After traveling through the starry night, Luo Yuqi and their companion finally returned after a day and night of effort.

They had never been so frustrated in their lives, relying entirely on pills to sustain their energy on this journey without much rest.

To see the place they left just days ago felt like returning to a different era.

The two transformed into streaks of light and ascended directly to the peak, quickly gathering everyone.

Fifth Brother, Mao Butong, was an old man fond of wearing plain white attire, with a goatee that gave him an aura of a sage, though his eyes betrayed him as cross-eyed.

In stark contrast, Sixth Brother Liu Nantiao preferred dark attire, sporting a strand of beads the size of eggs on his head, and was bald, evoking the appearance of an old monk; yet his face was alarming with a deep, ominous hue, devoid of compassion.

Seventh Brother, He Dashi, dressed like a common farmer, in coarse hemp clothes, and had wrinkled skin and gray hair, blending into a crowd easily due to his ordinary appearance and revealing blackened teeth when he smiled.

Eighth Brother, Qiu Jianchou, wore a blue cloth robe with a pharmacist’s box on his back, emitting a strong medicinal aroma even from afar, and upon closer inspection, his hands resembled chicken claws.

The eight madmen of Celestial City Peak were not merely a title; these potion maniacs were so obsessed that they experimented on themselves with pills, leaving each with some peculiarities.

Called out, the four were baffled; it was known that Luo Yuqi took the first, second, and third brothers to help, so why were only two returning, and looking so ragged?

The First Brother glanced at Luo Yuqi, since it was Luo’s idea, naturally he must persuade everyone.

Luo Yuqi understood, dragging his weary body forward to recount the East Sea affair in detail... of course, he skimmed over his fleeing during battle and the First Brother leaving behind the Second.

”So, you’ve discovered a supreme treasure for nurturing Spirit Bodies?”

Fifth Brother Mao Butong, his cross-eyed gaze split between Miao Zuesen and Luo Yuqi, asked with great interest.

Just as Luo persuaded Miao Zuesen, the treasure behind the Spirit Body was enough to sway his brothers’ hearts.

Moreover...

”You mean the one you fought against was the recent spotlight, Pharmacist Han?”

Eighth Brother Qiu Jianchou was also quite interested in Han Yu, no—more in the pills Han displayed.

Those pills, claiming the peak of alchemy, were indeed enticing.

As Luo Yuqi happily believed he had smoothly convinced everyone, Seventh Brother He Dashi sneered.

”You fell into a trap there, that kid must be quite troublesome, right? The Second and Third Brothers also got snared there.”

Heaven pity them, if they knew, they might cry with joy, for someone finally considered their safety.

Well-prepared, Luo Yuqi patiently explained, ”I was injured, dropped in realm, thus three against one lost.”

He planned to refine the pills soon and restore himself as quickly as possible.

Then, with the strength of six, success was possible.

If six Transcendent Realm cultivators couldn’t beat a young lad, then the eight—or six—odd ones of Celestial City Peak should tuck their tails in humiliation; times had changed!

”According to you, the supreme treasure seems to influence Spirit Medicine, this item has great destiny with us.”

The Sixth Brother showed enthusiasm.

”How will it be divided?” asked the usually silent Sixth, as there was only one supreme treasure but many people.

”No need to divide! Once obtained, we use it together; we bring it left back to Celestial City Peak to cultivate Spirit Medicine, nothing need be hidden, all Spirit Fields are adjacent!”

Luo Yuqi replied with a smile.

With the treasure ahead, Han Yu’s miraculous pill formulas speculated, plus the strong confidence from six joining forces, they agreed in unity.

”However, for safety, involving those hundred Divine Gaze Realm pharmacists from the peak would be better.”

Luo Yuqi reiterated their plan to the First Brother.

”Just what can those junior cultivators do? They came under the guise of shared ideals but are just those who can’t cope outside.”

The Eighth sneered; they were only useful when idle and had leisure to refine pills, unsuitable for such an occasion.

Luo Yuqi could only use the saying of ants collectively killing an elephant, ”Moreover, with someone drawing fire, we can retrieve the treasure first and retreat easily.”

This convinced them.

”But convincing them to risk their lives is extremely difficult.”

Fifth Brother frowned, saying frankly, anyone who believed their honor would be enjoying being deceived, actual sacrifices were unlikely.

Luo Yuqi was about to share his method when the Eighth spoke up first, ”It’s simple: openly declare Pharmacist Han has various miraculous pill formulas, and we intend to seize them; share the formula if they aid us.”

This solution worked, Luo Yuqi’s eyes widened in delight, a much more enticing proposal than his Poison Scripture.

”Then convince them while I recover, quickly, lest things change.”

Not only fearing Han Yu’s escape, but also villagers taking the supreme treasure, particularly the dread of Han Yu fleeing with it...

”Why do you always call upon this old man daily?”

At Ascension Tower, Gao Feng hurried in, catching Quan Xiaotong leisurely examining a letter, with a junior cultivator dressed as a Palace Guard standing nearby.

His displeasure had reason; having awaited retirement, he was instead persuaded to continue managing affairs, driving him almost to dizzy distraction.

Perhaps he was truly unaccustomed, having handled internal tower matters for so long.

Lately he oscillated between visiting the Hundred Herbs Bureau and the Mo Family for special artifact research advancements, adding busy turbulence, yet Quan Xiaotong summoned him artificially.

”Old gentleman, do not fret, this is interesting,”

Quan Xiaotong spoke, handing over the letter with a smile.

Surprisingly rare, for him to call something interesting, Gao Feng’s curiosity piqued, reading the letter swiftly, his expression gradually turning peculiar.

”Is this your idea of interesting?”

Han Yu took on the Corpse Refining Lineage, yet unrest followed!

Turning around, involving the eight madmen from Celestial City Peak.

”It’s more correct to say four madmen provoked Han Yu and gained nothing, a rare occurrence indeed.”

Quan Xiaotong continued with a smile; the situation was bizarre, for four infamous rogues moved, yet two fell into Han Yu’s hands while two retreated.

Admittedly, widespread joy would ensue if shared among the Nine Sects.

”I find it odd, also Che Dapao’s subordinate, the Guardian from East Sea, is truly amusing, drawing a transcendent with two Transcendent Realm cultivators here.”

Gao Feng mused, laughing.

”Master... it’s not my superior’s fault, those two were crippled.”

The humble junior cultivator swiftly spoke; though he felt trepidation, he traveled with apprehension after witnessing Chicken Feather Gall’s stern Guardian escorting an ally cultivator.

”What else did your superior say?”

Quan Xiaotong asked, grinning.

After pondering, the junior cultivator hastily saluted, ”The superior instructed that Han Mr. gave those two to the Inspectorate, urge immediate reminders.”

After a glance between Quan Xiaotong and Gao Feng, they both laughed.

”This kid, what’s he gathering so many favors for without demands?”

Gao Feng found it amusing.

”Never mind, take them, more debts are no worry.”

Unconcerned, Quan Xiaotong chuckled.

”The superior suggests Mr. Han might send more over.”

The words from the cultivator drew mutual surprise.

Good heavens, does he intend to abolish Celestial City Peak from the map...
