Just as Glass had envisioned, there were actually two more choices in front of Han Yu.

Either, remain an outsider and watch the cultivators of the Misty Waves Manor battle it out, and in seven days the pills will vanish without a trace.

Or, use the Six Roots Purity Pill to capture all the cultivators in the Misty Waves Manor in one fell swoop. But doing so would likely cause a great stir, with unpredictable consequences.

"Nearly two thousand cultivators!"

Han Yu murmured to himself.

It's not out of pity for these people, the deeds of these people in the Misty Waves Manor aren't worth his sympathy.

Moreover, the Six Roots Purity Pill is not harmful, and after its significant side effects, the benefits in mental and cultivation realms are equally substantial.

Just the eight words "Six Roots Purity, Heart Demon vanished," in another context, would absolutely be a pill worth fighting over.

What he was feeling was curiosity about the changes that would occur in Ping due to the proportion of nearly two thousand people.

"Will you all be revived with just one pill?"

Han Yu suddenly asked aloud.

The topic of revival had been mentioned multiple times, and although Glass, as an artifact spirit, knew it required a continuous flow of energy and qi fortune, it was surprisingly unclear how revival could happen.

Ping remained silent and couldn't speak, but the daily refining of pills constantly indicated that revival was closely related to the pills.

As a third party, Han Yu had been struggling when dragged into the situation but benefited continuously and gradually adapted to the existence of Ping.

Ping, the artifact spirit, and Han Yu had actually been bound together ever since they got hit.

"Don't ask me, go ask Ping, maybe only it knows."

Glass elongated its cute face, looking quite displeased.

How could it be happy when Ping was getting the most benefits out of the situation?

Han Yu was bewildered, finding the emotions of the artifact spirit somewhat volatile throughout the day.

He didn't realize that the power Glass always longed for was getting further away from it; with Ping taking the larger share again, it would be much tougher for it to catch up.

If it had known earlier, it wouldn't have chosen transformation during the Female Qilin incident; just the energy would have been enough for it to hold the power.

Glass murmured to itself.

It wondered where exactly went wrong.

Logically, although Ping was refining pills daily, it shouldn't have outpaced me! Wasn't one West River Pill as powerful as these weird pills?

Could it be Han Yu's issue? Impossible, he's just a lousy pill maker, the concoctions are given by me.

It couldn't be my problem, right?

While the artifact spirit was doubting itself, Han Yu was gradually taking flight.

——

"Kill!"

Lou Yanwen gave an order, and the remaining six elders were the first to fly out.

"Covering Sea!"

Tremendous true essence infused the entire void, countless arrows appeared, and the joint attack of the six was terrifying.

The sect leaders looked solemn, immediately gathering together, joining forces to create a sea of true essence, and the short Rope Art Sect Leader grabbed Elder Liang, intending to use him as a shield but couldn't help but tremble.

Raising his head, Lou Yanwen's face was filled with murderous intent, having locked onto him with his aura.

The Rope Art Sect Leader's face changed slightly, and Elder Liang in his hand became too hot to hold. Tossing him wasn't an option, but if he didn't throw him, Lou Yanwen would likely come for him first.

On the other side, the six great elders of the Celestial Water Sect formed a counterwave with the sea of true essence, and it seemed as if the sky was collapsing; the intense explosion caused the ground to tremble.

The low-level cultivators who weren't even in the Divine Bridge Realm found it difficult to stand, let alone charge; after staggering, the scene became chaotic.

The sword-controlling cultivators weren't as embarrassed but were still forced to retreat in the face of the residual waves.

Lou Yanwen squinted his eyes, scanning back and forth across the entire field.

As the sea of true essence vanished for a moment, he suddenly moved, with just a flash, he maneuvered into the opponent's formation in mid-air.

"Attack together."

The sect leaders were initially panicked but then shouted, and various attacks converged upon him.

"Bright King Unmoving Body!"

With Lou Yanwen's hands spread open, golden light was shattered and exploded on his body continuously.

The crowd was overjoyed, never expecting him to dare rushing into the encirclement, and planned to use the same tactic they employed against Elder Liang.

"Don't let him escape, capture him, and he won't dare to hold back the pills."

Immediately, a sect leader shouted joyfully.

In an instant, as if on steroids, the crowd gathered their true essence creating a vortex, engulfing Lou Yanwen completely, and churned it intensively.

As the vortex churned, the sky was as turbulent as a wind and cloud rising.

After a moment, when the vortex gradually dissipated, Lou Yanwen's figure was gone.

"How is this possible?"

The crowd was utterly shocked, as they had clearly seen him being swallowed by the vortex and kept watching without looking away.

How did he disappear?

The short Rope Art Sect Leader, holding Elder Liang, suddenly felt excruciating pain, looked down in horror, finding two golden arrows pierced through his abdomen.

Moreover, true essence suddenly flowed from all directions, transforming into fists and palms, attacking him from all sides in the blink of an eye.

In just an instant, that small figure paused and fell powerlessly downward.

Lou Yanwen appeared once more, now outside the encirclement. He grabbed Elder Liang, who was falling alongside him, and tossed him back toward the direction of the Celestial Water Sect, where Xu Yin caught him steadily.

"You... you've already started to break through the bottleneck?"

Someone was shocked, the expression on their face completely aghast.

What is a bottleneck? Naturally, it is the bottleneck of the Divine Gaze Realm. Among cultivators, there's never an intricate classification within any realm, at most summarized as a half-step realm.

Only in the Divine Gaze Realm is there an additional concept of Great Perfection.

To enter the Realm of Transcendence, one must first achieve Divine Gaze Great Perfection. And when can one be considered to have achieved Great Perfection? Naturally, it is when you have squeezed all your foundation to the absolute limit and can explore the transcendent realm.

Similarly, in the usual sense, there is no concept of half-step transcendence within the Divine Gaze Realm, and no one dares to claim they have reached half-step transcendence.

The two are worlds apart, transcendence is transcendence, and divine gaze is merely divine gaze.

True essence and spiritual power are like a chasm, separating the paths of cultivators.

Moments ago, Lou Yanwen's true essence flowed as he wished, doing whatever he desired, already bearing a hint of the Extraordinary Realm.

Just this mere hint of transcendence is enough to contend against many cultivators in the Divine Gaze Realm.

At the moment, many were already contemplating retreating, fearing gaining nothing today, and any longer stay might lead to significant losses.

——

A sea of fire suddenly ignited around everyone, forming a wall of fire blocking the retreat paths of the group of minor sect leaders.

Han Yu's figure flew out from the sea of flames, flames extending to two meters transformed into wings flapping continuously on his back.

His abrupt appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.

From the Celestial Water Sect's side, a figure suddenly looked up, showing shock, seemingly incredulous. After looking several times, they finally confirmed Han Yu's identity.

Qiu Susu looked up and shouted in Lou Yanwen's direction, "Pharmacist, he is that pharmacist."

Lou Yanwen was on guard, hearing this made him a bit surprised. According to Qiu Susu's description, this pharmacist should clearly only be between the Other Shore Realm and the Seeing Me Realm. How could he be this person endowed with divine techniques and shrouded in mystery in front of them?

Even someone like him could not discern this person's depths. How could the Celestial Water Sect even consider taking him down? Catching up only to face humiliation would be the least of their worries.

Xu Yin's expression slightly changed as he locked his gaze tightly on Han Yu, not expecting this person he met briefly to be the pharmacist the sect had been searching for.

The other sect leaders all showed wary expressions, not knowing if this sudden appearance was aligned with the Celestial Water Sect. If so, they would surely suffer, so they prepared to flee immediately, but the next moment, Han Yu's words froze them in their tracks.

"Do you like the pill I left by the city gate?"

Han Yu spoke with a gentle smile.

"The pill is yours?"

Lou Yanwen was surprised, unable to resist opening his mouth to speak.

"Just a pill to accelerate cultivation, not of much use, so I threw it by the city gate for you to play with."

Han Yu said casually with an indifferent expression.

As his words fell, everyone around had extremely peculiar expressions, such a valuable pill fought over by so many cultivators, yet to him, it was merely something with little use, casually discarded, hard to accept indeed.

"Your tone is too boastful, just because you say it's yours doesn't make it so?"

A sect leader from a small sect couldn't help but retort.

But Lou Yanwen believed it, this pharmacist before him, able to make ordinary people step into the Other Shore Realm, even producing those heaven-defying explosive pills, it wasn't surprising for such a cultivation-accelerating pill to come from his hands.

"Your skills in the Alchemy Dao are impressive, what is your purpose then?"

Han Yu extended a finger, holding a pill, and laughed heartily.

"I already said, that pill isn't of much use, just for fun. I have another one paired for mental realm breakthrough, are you interested?"

Damn!

Lou Yanwen cursed silently, his heartbeat sped up a bit. The first pill accelerated cultivation, and this one could break through the mental realm. If used properly, quickly cultivating a group of Seeing Me Realm cultivators would be as easy as flipping a hand.

Not just him, others too were staring intensely at the pill between Han Yu's fingers. A pill for mental realm breakthrough, unheard of, wasn't it even more precious than the last one?

"What do you want in exchange? Name it, as long as the Celestial Water Sect can provide it, we definitely will."

Lou Yanwen swallowed and immediately spoke up.

"Sell it to us, Daoist friend, we can also afford the price."

A chorus of sect leaders also voiced, if Lou Yanwen was eager for it, they definitely could not let it slip.

Hearing this, Han Yu chuckled softly, shook his head, then released his finger, letting the pill fall straight down under everyone's eyes.

"Not for sale! Let the destiny find it."

"He's trying to make us fight among ourselves, nobody fall for it."

Han Yu's unconventional actions immediately prompted Lou Yanwen to imagine a play like killing three warriors with two peaches from folklore.

Especially since one cultivation pill had already drawn out the entire Yanbo City cultivators, now releasing another, who knows what chaos it might incite.

"Sect Leader Lou is right, everyone stay calm."

A small sect leader loudly concurred but was heading straight for the pill.

Damn!

Everyone stay calm, but you're moving?

Other small sect leaders moved too, each chasing after.

Xu Yin watched his own sect leader; only to see Lou Yanwen's face turn ashen. Afraid of Han Yu, he let out a careful breath and said in a deep voice, "Fight for it!"

Knowing full well this was to make them fight, but who could refuse these two pills?

This was a damned open stratagem!
