Chapter 6707 Rui Yue’s Skill

The clump of light was a tiny little ball.

To everyone’s shock, it was actually a medicinal pill.

“This medicinal pill...” Qu Yingying muttered.

With a shocked expression, she reached out to it, but Long Chen grabbed her arm first.

Long Chen explained, “This pill is what killed the Dark Divine General. It has absorbed an enormous amount of curse energy. The moment you touch it, the balance inside will collapse, and all of us will die instantly.”

“It’s that terrifying?!”

Qu Yingying recoiled in horror. This tiny medicinal pill actually possessed such terrifying power?

“No wonder none of the devil creatures wanted this corpse. They must have known about this medicinal pill’s existence, so they avoided it!” exclaimed Qu Yingying.

Long Chen shot her a glance. This was a rare flash of insight from her.

He called Cang Lu over. The instant Cang Lu approached, the medicinal pill began to tremble violently. A berserk aura erupted from it.

Long Chen jumped and hastily ordered Cang Lu to get back. Cang Lu withdrew at once, and only then did the pill slowly settle.

Does this medicinal pill possess consciousness? Long Chen was shocked.

Its will was faint and blurred, yet it was still resisting an unfathomable mass of curse energy.

Forming a one-handed seal, Long Chen extended a thread of Spiritual Strength toward it. The pill immediately became berserk again, forcing him to withdraw.

This time, Long Chen summoned a Pill Flame. Sensing those fluctuations, the medicinal pill stopped being violent. However, Long Chen could still sense its wariness.

With a thought, Long Chen infused astral energy into the flame, transforming it into an Astral Pill Flame.

When the Astral Pill Flame appeared, the medicinal pill seemed to grow less wary. Distinct spiritual fluctuations rippled from it.

Long Chen froze.

This medicinal pill possessed a soul and its own will. This was already beyond the category of medicinal pills.

For some reason, the image of a certain person appeared in his mind.

At this moment, the medicinal pill started shaking continuously. An explosive aura burst out of it, as if it would explode at any moment.

Qu Yingying’s face turned pale. She remembered Long Chen’s warning—if it exploded, all of them would become ghosts at the same time.

Just then, Long Chen called Cang Lu over again.

This time, under Long Chen’s guidance, the pill didn’t resist. Cang Lu reached out, and a powerful vortex formed in his palm, drawing out the vast curse energy sealed within the pill.

No one could tell how much curse energy was compressed inside such a tiny pill. Even with Cang Lu absorbing it at full speed, the process took two full hours.

After absorbing this much energy, Cang Lu needed to digest it. Thus, Long Chen sent him back into the primal chaos space.

With the curse energy gone, this medicinal pill slowly fell into Long Chen’s hand. Then, Long Chen nourished it with his Astral Pill Flame.

Suddenly, the medicinal pill quivered and transformed into a tiny fox. It spread its nine tails like a peacock spreading its tail. Its eyes were violet-red.

“The Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox?”

Long Chen couldn’t help being startled by this fox’s appearance.

“Wow, what an adorable little fellow!”

Seeing the little fox, Qu Yingying cried out excitedly. Clearly, women couldn’t resist this kind of cute, furry fellow.

Long Chen communed with the fox with his Spiritual Strength. This fox seemed to fully trust Long Chen and completely opened its soul to him.

From its soul, Long Chen saw several scenes.

In the first scene, a pill furnace opened. A woman’s pleasantly surprised face filled his vision.

“As expected, it’s her...”

Long Chen’s heart shook. She was the Pill Sovereign’s disciple, Rui Yue—the one who had killed Cang Lu.

This medicinal pill had been refined by her. No wonder it had shown such hostility toward Cang Lu. There was karma entwined here.

After that, the second scene appeared in his mind. A hand wreathed in starlight received the pill with reverence.

The third scene was of a battlefield covered in corpses. Starlight filled the world, and a colossal spider stood in the distance, spewing overwhelming devil flames.

Then, the vision ended.

From these fragments, Long Chen pieced together the truth. After refining the pill, Rui Yue gave it to an expert of the nine star lineage. In the end, it was used in this very battle.

However, Long Chen didn’t know how it had been used and how it had exhausted a Dark Divine General to death.

Yet, what he did see shook him to the core.

This pill possessed a unique soul and will, along with the ability to assimilate power. This opened a whole new world for Long Chen in terms of refining pills.

Now, he came to realize that the alchemy arts he was so proud of were incredibly childish in front of Rui Yue.

One pill from her hand had killed the half-step Heavenly Sovereign Cang Lu, and another pill she had given away casually wrote down a Dark Divine General to death.

Her abilities were absolutely shocking.

The little fox leaped around Long Chen, sniffing curiously. Then it hopped onto Qu Yingying, sniffed her once, and vanished.

Qu Yingying had wanted to hug it, but now, she froze. “Little brother—it... it entered my inner space!”

“It was probably drawn to your constitution,” Long Chen said with a faint smile. “It’s still weak and needs nourishment. Treat it well, and it will become your greatest trump card.”

The smile was a bit forced. This little thing defected too quickly, no? He had clearly been its savior, but it actually jumped into Qu Yingying’s embrace.

Long Chen was hoping to commune with it more and see if he could find out more about Rui Yue. After all, this could be considered an astral pill, as it was refined by astral energy. Did that not mean Rui Yue herself possessed astral energy?

Yet, when she killed Cang Lu, Long Chen had not sensed any astral fluctuations at all!

Long Chen was very curious about Rui Yue. As a disciple of the Pill Sovereign, just how strong was she exactly?

He had seen only the barest surface of her alchemy. The Dao of Alchemy before him stretched into realms he had yet to even imagine.

Unfortunately, this breakthrough had awakened no new pill formulas. His reliance on medicinal pills had vanished, replaced by a harsh rejection. Whether in cultivation or alchemy, he would need to figure things out himself.

“I should sweep the battlefield,” Long Chen said quietly. “Who knows—there might be more surprises like this waiting.”

He had barely entered the Devil Slaying Battlefield and had already encountered such a prize. For the first time, anticipation stirred within him for what lay ahead.
