Chapter 891: Battle of Greed

After the black clouds cleared, a brilliant red light shone through the gaps, like divine light descending from the heavens.

"It really is the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill," said Sect Leader Mao, his face turned dark outside the gates of the Green Lotus Sect.

The red glow was proof enough. On Mystic Void Continent, no one could make true immortal pills anymore, but the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill, though not an immortal pill, had effects that were comparable to it. Therefore, when it was successfully created, a small red glow would appear, which was also known as a "pseudo-immortal pill," similar to the concept of a pseudo-divine weapon.

"They even managed to make the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill. The Green Lotus Sect must have found some special spiritual medicine."

"In order to make the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill, you need a special medicine that can extend lifespan. As far as I know, those medicine haven’t been seen in ages. Where did the Green Lotus Sect find one?" muttered Jaimyeong Yu, his eyes were dark with suspicion.

For years, the Nine Cauldron Sect had been searching for such medicine that could extend lifespan, but every lead had turned out to be a dead end. They had never found any of the m.

This type of medicine, when consumed on its own, could extend a cultivator’s lifespan, but when combined with other ingredients to create a pill, the effects would be even more potent.

"The Green Lotus Sect’s abilities are impressive. If they can make a Life Restoration Heavenly Pill, maybe one day they’ll create other pseudo-immortal pills," someone remarked.

"I don’t know if they’ll make other pills, but I do know that the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill is about to come out," said Seojin Feng, eyes gleaming as he stared toward the red glow.

Hayeon Ren looked around at the gathered crowd and said, "So what if the pill is complete? With Master Liab here, surely no one’s thinking of trying to steal it from the Green Lotus Sect?"

Sect Leader Mao noticed some cultivators who seemed to be considering it, but after Hayeon Ren’s words, they hesitated. Acting nonchalantly, he said, "I heard that Master Lian isn’t in the sect right now."

Hayeon Ren immediately frowned at Sect Leader Mao words, realizing that he was trying to stir up trouble by encouraging others to act.

There had been rumors that the Eight Gods Blade of Eternal One Sect had fallen into the hands of a the Green Lotus Sect disciple, and it seemed those rumors were true.

"Master Lian isn’t here?" came the raspy voice of Old Demon Woonyeong.

Sect Leader Mao glanced at him and met his dark, sinister gaze. "Of course."

At that moment, more people turned their eyes greedily toward the main peak of the Green Lotus Sect.

"The fact that Master Lian isn’t here doesn’t matter. The Great Elders of the Green Lotus Sect aren’t ones to be trifled with," Hayeon Ren said coldly.

Sect Leader Mao chuckled. "Hayeon Ren, you’re defending the Green Lotus Sect so much. Could it be that your Divine Maiden Sect wants to form an alliance with the Green Lotus Sect? You always pride yourselves on being as strong as the male cultivators. Have you changed your mind now?"

Hayeon Ren snorted. "Sect Leader Mao, if you’re angry, don’t take it out on me. If you’re that arrogant, why doesn’t Eternal One Sect go ask the Green Lotus Sect to return the Eight Gods Blade to your sect?"

Only a few sects with well-connected information networks knew about this matter. Most of the people present still didn’t know that the Eight Gods Blade from Eternal One Sect had fallen into the hands of the Green Lotus Sect.

Once Hayeon Ren mentioned it, those who had been focused on the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill started to pay attention. "The Eternal One Sect treasures, the Eight Gods Blade’s techniques. How did the Green Lotus Sect get their hands on it?"

"I heard years ago, the Eternal One Sect’s Hidden Art Pavilion was robbed, and even Elder Yen Mah died outside. It’s no surprise that the technique was fallen on someone else."

"If a small sect got it, maybe Eternal One Sect could take it back. But since the Green Lotus Sect has it, they’ll never get it back in this lifetime."

Hearing the discussions, Sect Leader Mao and the elders next to him looked grim, glaring at Hayeon Ren with displeasure.

Hayeon Ren smiled, unafraid. "Before Elder Yen Mah died, the technique wasn’t even complete. If the Green Lotus Sect got the technique, they could just make a copy and practice it in secret. But I’ve heard that Eternal One Sect sent Elder Yen Mah’s descendants to the Green Lotus Sect, offering generous compensation to get the technique back. If it was incomplete, would Eternal One Sect really go to such lengths?"

"This is a matter between the Eternal One Sect and the Green Lotus Sect. What does it have to do with you?" Sect Leader Mao snapped, glancing at the old woman standing beside Hayeon Ren, his eyes darkening.

The old woman looked unremarkable—hunched over, ordinary in every way, with nothing about her suggesting she was a cultivator. But a closer look at her eyes revealed an abyss as deep as the heavens, holding a vast world within.

This woman was Hayeon Ren’s master, the Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan. This appearance was just one of her many forms. She could transform into anyone at will.

The fact that the Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan was here showed that the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill’s emergence had drawn out many powerful figures who usually remained hidden.

Sect Leader Mao sneered inwardly. No matter how noble Hayeon Ren acted, her master’s presence was proof enough. If the Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan wasn’t interested in the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill, why would she be here?

The pill was about to appear, yet no one left.

On the surface, they all seemed to be waiting, but who knew what schemes they were plotting in their hearts? Maybe some were preparing to steal the pill amidst the chaos.
