After receiving the Sect Leader's command, the six Great Elders of the Celestial Water Sect decisively dove down, while Lou Yanwen remained guarding the sky, blocking the Sect Leader's escape route from above.

This pill, the Celestial Water Sect demands it. No one should think of snatching it and escaping.

Below, just as the first person to make a move was about to grasp the pill, unexpectedly, at the moment of extending his hand, his movement suddenly froze, and he turned to see it was his previous ally who had stopped him.

He couldn't help but become furious, his face turning red with anger, and he said.

"Fool, we can't defeat Lou Yanwen. Why don't you let me take the pill first, and we can discuss how to divide it later."

"I don't believe you at all."

The person holding him back sneered in response. Everyone had been in Smoke Wave City for years, so how could they not see through each other's nature?

Who wouldn't run away after getting the pill?

This would only benefit the cultivators chasing after. Seeing them getting closer, that person, in a fit of rage, ended up cursing himself too.

"A bunch of unruly mobs!"

Xu Yin and the opponent were worlds apart. Once the five elders dispersed, each sought someone to block.

"Junior Brother Xu, quickly go and get the pill!"

This made the smaller sects anxious, each one stomping and cursing at them for having no shame, having taken one pill and yet still fighting for another.

"Everyone, let's join forces once more."

Someone shouted loudly.

Now, this group thought about continuing to join forces, but unfortunately, they were each preoccupied. The Celestial Water Sect's siege tactics might not be impressive, but their universally despised turtle shell tactic for a prolonged fight was all too apt.

Xu Yin, looking at the black pill that had fallen to the ground, showed a hint of joy on his face, and his hand reached out. Who could have expected that at this moment, swift and shadowless hands appeared, reached out, retracted, and the pill disappeared without a trace.

Raising his eyes again, a short figure was clutching the pill, unable to suppress their ecstatic joy.

Originally, he had been punched to the ground by Lou Yanwen, intending to play dead and wait for an opportunity to slip away.

Unexpectedly, a strange youngster appeared. The pill not only came from his hands but later, he even threw down a more precious pill.

The pill that everyone wrestled over landed not far from him, and the sudden opportunity was immediately seized by him.

"The pill is in his hands, don't let him escape."

In the air, a loud shout came, not only from the Celestial Water Sect but also from the unruly mob.

"Tiger…"

"Fool, don't use True Essence. What if you destroy the pill?"

The two from the Tiger Crane Sect were about to make a move but were stopped by the people beside them.

The intending-to-move elder from the Celestial Water Sect also swiftly dispersed his True Essence after hearing this, and nearly twenty figures immediately flew toward the short sect leader.

Lou Yanwen frowned, closely watching the chaos below. The six elders scrambled with others like common folks, occasionally throwing punches and kicks toward their sides.

The short sect leader got blocked from all sides, and facing a barrage of fists and feet, within a few rounds, he saw stars and the pill got snatched from his hand, leaving nobody to care about him.

A Celestial Water Sect elder no sooner had the pill in hand when his pants got yanked down, and soon, he was once more subjected to a barrage of punches and kicks, and the pill again changed hands.

"Look at what you've done! A group of Divine Gaze Realm now fights like village kids, even having their pants pulled down. A bunch of shameless elders."

Glass snorted in the Sea of Consciousness, speaking with disdain.

Han Yu also found it too disgraceful to watch, never imagining this crowd could stoop so low.

"The net is closing!"

Han Yu suddenly spoke.

"I advise you not to gamble with the rules of the bottle, or you won't even be able to run when the time comes."

Glass suddenly spoke in the Sea of Consciousness.

By now, Han Yu had already quietly withdrawn; the crowd was so focused on the pills that they didn't even notice he had left.

"Almost half a league now, any farther and I won't be able to invoke the divine technique."

Han Yu gazed into the distance, seeing a huddle of Divine Gaze Realm; the timing was perfect. He raised his right hand and suddenly snapped his fingers.

Before seizing the pill, he had secretly left a trace of divine power energy attached to the pill's surface.

After the pill switched hands multiple times, it ultimately ended up with Xu Yin, who was so overjoyed that he failed to notice the flicker of firelight that vanished from the pill's surface.

When the pill was fully activated, a plume of blue smoke rapidly spread. When he found himself enveloped by the smoke, it was already too late.

Merely when the smoke clung to him, Xu Yin's delighted expression instantly turned incredibly serene, with an emptiness in his heart, and everything in his eyes fell into silence. Although the environment was noisy and chaotic, to his ears, there was no sound at all.

The rushing crowd became unbearably slow, even their facial expressions moved in slow motion, appearing ridiculous and absurd.

The spread of the smoke was terrifying, akin to ripples on a lake, spreading outwards continuously.

First to bear the brunt was the group of minions below, as the blue smoke covered them, all their blades and swords clattered to the ground.

"What the hell is this?"

Lou Yanwen looked down below, dumbfounded, especially at the Divine Gaze Realm folks moving like zombies, neither the small sect leaders nor his own elders.

Their faces were devoid of any emotions, frighteningly calm.

This scene filled him with terror.

Surely, it was the pill's doing. With a little thought, he figured it out, lifting his eyes, but Han Yu was nowhere to be seen, with no one having any idea when he had left.

The smoke spread swiftly, swallowing the lower area before streaking upwards, leaving no time for the Sword Stepping Cultivators to flee, as flying swords dropped alongside falling figures.

Soon, the blue smoke started encircling Lou Yanwen…

——

"Run fast!"

Glass loudly urged.

It expected the pills to be terrifying, but it never imagined the spreading speed of the pills to be so domineering. From the moment Han Yu lit the pills until now, only less than ten breaths had passed, and that group of cultivators from Smoke Wave City had been completely obliterated.

The entire battlefield was now shrouded in blue smoke, and around Han Yu, blue smoke gradually began to envelop him.

Damn!

This time, the pills are unreasonable.

He never expected the spreading speed of the pills to be so frightening, and immediately, he fled into the sky with swift wings.

"Faster."

Glass, watching everything around Han Yu from the Sea of Consciousness, wore an unprecedentedly grave expression on his bun-like face.

Even a flock of birds behind Han Yu were enveloped by the blue smoke, descending one by one with dismal expressions.

The rules are in effect again, not even sparing the birds.

Han Yu flew half a mile in extreme embarrassment before he dared to turn around and look back.

On the original battlefield, a spectacular scene was unfolding, with countless blue smoke gradually converging in the sky, forming an overwhelming cloud layer.

Above the clouds, a melodious bell suddenly rang out, one note after another resonating and spreading across the firmament.

The moment the bell was heard, all shackles dropped, all emotions swept away, the whole person seemed much lighter.

"Stop dazing, move quickly."

Suddenly, Glass in the Sea of Consciousness noticed something unusual. Han Yu unexpectedly stood still, an eerie calm on his face.

Even more terrifying, Han Yu had begun to slowly turn, aiming to fly towards the direction from where the bell's sound came.

"Han Yu!"

Frightened, Glass hastily puffed up his face, his whole bun-sized face ballooned like a watermelon, then instantly released a great roar in the Sea of Consciousness.

The previously empty heart inexplicably trembled, followed by a sharp pain in the Sea of Consciousness, which finally snapped Han Yu back to reality. Realizing he had almost stepped into the one-mile range, cold sweat drenched his entire back.

Damn!

Almost got himself trapped.

This pill was too outrageous; not only did it spread rapidly, but it also had a bell sound. Anyone soothed by it would feel their heart purified, easeful, and would uncontrollably want to get closer.

He had deeply experienced this just now.

Looking over, amidst the ongoing bell sound, the ground was already filled with people sitting. Regardless of the cultivator's realm, all were sitting cross-legged, their faces calm.

Han Yu felt his mind starting to blank out again, the Sea of Consciousness urging impatiently.

"Leave! Don't stay here any longer."

With a solemn heart, Han Yu dared not linger and turned away to quickly withdraw.

——

"Did you hear the bell last night?"

The next day, townsfolk of Smoke Wave City gathered in twos and threes after coming out, asking around.

"Yes, I did. I was originally quarreling with my wife last night, but once I heard the bell, the quarrel suddenly stopped. My wife hasn't had it easy."

A burly man scratched his head, laughing foolishly.

A young man with a peculiar expression opened his mouth and said, "I thought I was the only one who heard it. Last night, I was about to have a bout with my wife in bed when that damned bell came, and suddenly I lost all interest."

Soon after, more townsfolk noticed that Smoke Wave City was much quieter today; not a single one of those rowdy cultivators was to be seen.

"It'd be best if they didn't come again, causing so much chaos."

A townsman whispered to another.

In the Government Office, a group of Palace Guards was worried sick. Their Guardian had gone out yesterday and hadn't been seen since. Today, the Palace Guards went looking, but he still hadn't returned.

"Perhaps we should try looking for him at the Guardian's Sect!"

Suggested a Palace Guard.

Unaware of everything around him, Han Yu, ever since returning yesterday, felt the urgent shaking of the Glazed Bottle. After hastily returning to the inn, the long-suppressed Glazed Bottle suddenly emitted a burst of golden light.

The light filled the Sea of Consciousness, forming golden clouds and gradually turned into golden raindrops, splashing onto the Sea of Consciousness and the bottle body.

Soon, the bottle body became multicolored and dazzling, even refracting rainbow beams. After the rainbow beams, light instantly retracted, leaving only a curved line on the bottle body before hiding into its original state.

The accumulated golden liquid in the Sea of Consciousness suddenly boiled, and soon split into two fist-sized golden water spheres.

One flew towards Glass, who opened his mouth and swallowed it whole, making his entire bun face glow golden. In the light, a pair of small hands emerged from behind his ears.

Damn! It's happening again, it's happening again.

Glass angrily jumped towards the bottle, his small hands reaching out to smack the bottle left and right.

It clearly wanted to condense a body, so why did hands appear? Glass wouldn't believe anything but that the bottle's doing was behind this.

At that moment, the other golden water sphere suddenly disappeared from the Sea of Consciousness, reappearing in front of Han Yu, and in a split second, the sphere unexpectedly slammed into Han Yu's face, forcefully pushing his mouth open.

"Let me do it myself... Let me do it myself..."

Han Yu yelled repeatedly, but the water sphere kept stuffing into his mouth. He felt foreign bodies constantly invading his throat, reaching directly into his intestines.

As the golden water sphere all entered his body, a crackling noise constantly emitted from within Han Yu, and he turned red all over like a steamed shrimp, with water vapor spreading rapidly from all his pores.

Glass was utterly amazed.

This doesn't belong to any cultivation system at all, originally thinking Han Yu's enhancement was towards body cultivation, but now it seems the bottle's enhancement for Han Yu is entirely unique.

It's a path for him alone!

If he reaches the end...

Unmatched body, unmatched divine techniques!

Utterly unheard of!
