Chapter 697: Chapter 445: Heartbeat

"Laozi, fellow Daoist, I wonder whether you intend to part with this Pill Medicine?"

The speaker was a Saint Emperor.

This Saint Emperor, named Long Tang, was quite ordinary among the Saint Emperors and was not outstanding.

Now, seeing an opportunity, he was the first to inquire.

He knew that for a Saint Emperor like himself, even if he spent his entire life trying, he probably couldn’t reach Hei Kui’s level and wouldn’t possess Hei Kui’s kind of strength.

Therefore, he had the thought of wanting to exchange something for this Pill Medicine.

His words opened a new door for the observers.

"Laozi, fellow Daoist, I am willing to exchange ten Innate Spiritual Treasures for this Pill."

"Ten Innate Spiritual Treasures? What can that do? I offer one half-step Chaotic Spirit Treasure!"

"..."

For the sake of this Pill Medicine, many Saint Emperors began to speak out.

The majority of them were Saint Emperors of mediocre talent. As a great calamity descended, they were willing to pay any price to enhance their strength.

This Pill Medicine had become a good prescription in the eyes of many.

Then there were some Saint Emperors with stronger strength, even at the Peak Saint Sovereign level, who might have had the ability to push further upward.

But it is better to be safe than sorry, and such Pill Medicines were hard to come by.

After all, the ’raw materials’ weren’t that plentiful.

If they missed one, who knew when the next would appear?

"This Pill, I bestow upon Long Tang, fellow Daoist," Laozi spoke.

Instantly, his words shocked many, leaving them full of surprise and doubt.

Long Tang’s offer wasn’t high, perhaps just over ten Innate Spiritual Treasures.

In the context of the offers just made, that could only be considered low.

Even Long Tang himself was somewhat surprised.

Was this good fortune really falling into his lap?

Laozi said with a smile, "The desire for my Pill Medicine is not for profit, but for reputation. This kind of Pill Medicine is my original creation, and it’s certainly not the last. In the future, anyone can trade with me for it.

But right now, I want everyone to see the effect of this Pill. Fellow Daoist Long Tang is suitable in strength, and he was the first to make an offer, so I choose to entrust this Pill to him."

With this explanation, everyone understood.

Just as Laozi said, such a Pill Medicine could only come from him alone. Who knew what the effects were like, or what the drawbacks could be?

If someone took it, the effects could be seen immediately.

But they were still envious.

This Pill Medicine had reached an offered price of three half-step Chaotic Spirit Treasures just moments ago.

Wasn’t Long Tang getting a bargain?

"Long Tang, fellow Daoist, I presume you are aware of the benefits and drawbacks of this Pill Medicine. You will need to take it immediately; do you have any problems with that?" Laozi asked.

Long Tang quickly nodded his head.

For a Saint Emperor like him, without extraordinary luck, it was probably hard to stand out.

The so-called drawbacks of the Pill Medicine were negligible to him.

Laozi waved his hand, and the Pill Medicine descended.

At the moment it fell, everyone could sense the Laws and Daoist rhyme carried by the Pill Medicine.

This Pill Medicine contained the essence of a Peak Saint Sovereign.

Long Tang didn’t hesitate and immediately took the Pill into his mouth.

Actually, even if Laozi hadn’t mentioned it, Long Tang had no intention of taking the Pill back home to consume it; consuming it on the spot was definitely the best choice.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the moment the Pill Medicine was swallowed, Long Tang was shrouded in an aura of serene annihilation.

Before, Long Tang cultivated a branch of the Dao of Time, the Laws of Speed.

Now, the slight force of the Laws of Speed on him was completely covered by the aura of annihilation.

Moreover, a mysterious pattern adorned his brow.

Immediately after, an illusory Great Path actually appeared behind him!!!

To everyone else, if Long Tang concealed his form and only revealed his aura, they might even suspect that Hei Kui had been reborn and reappeared in the All Heavens.

Especially with the appearance of the illusory Great Path, from the moment it materialized, they could feel Long Tang’s aura rising rapidly.

Early Saint Emperor stage.

Mid Saint Emperor stage.

...

Peak Saint Sovereign!

This rapid ascension in strength astounded all the spectators.

The illusory Great Path also showed its rightful might; the intent of serene annihilation vibrated and shot straight up to Yun Xiao.

Some of the weaker beings were even directly shaken away by this force.

The next moment, Long Tang spread out his hand.

"Whoosh!!!"

A swooshing sound of breaking air was heard. It was the Wolf Fang Club previously used by Hei Kui.

After eating the Pill Medicine, Long Tang’s form hadn’t changed much, so when he held Hei Kui’s Wolf Fang Club, it felt a tad incongruous.

But the aura and energy on Long Tang had genuinely grown stronger.

At that moment, the bystanders all turned their eyes towards Long Tang.

"Long Tang, fellow Daoist, how do you feel now?" someone asked.

Long Tang grinned and said: "Great, simply unprecedentedly great. My strength now exceeds my previous level by a hundred times, even a thousand times!"

He then gave a bow to Laozi: "I thank you, Laozi, fellow Daoist."

Laozi waved his hand casually: "I observe that after consuming the Pill Medicine, fellow Daoist seems to have acquired eighty percent of Hei Kui’s previous power, and some of the medicinal potency has yet to be assimilated within fellow Daoist’s body.

You can retreat and meditate on your own. In less than a millennium, fellow Daoist will be able to inherit a hundred percent of Hei Kui’s combat power!!!"

In an instant, all eyes shifts and shifts again.

Their mindset at that moment was completely different from earlier.

Before the Pill Medicine was tested, some might have had doubts.

But now, the skepticism had dissipated by eighty percent.

"Fellow Daoist Long Tang, do you feel any discomfort?"

At that moment, a voice arrived, and the Artisan God appeared.

He admitted defeat to Laozi’s Alchemy Dao and actually very much wished to secure that Pill Medicine.
