"Ha ha, just a little bit more time, what a pity!" Ye Kai shook his head regretfully.
But at that moment, Wu Yongli and Aoyou Lie were trembling all over, their backs drenched in cold sweat, and their eyes revealed a hint of relief.
There was nothing they couldn't say now; the two immediately spilled everything they knew like beans.
Recently, in the Flame Island and Transverse Mountain Range, a Changchun Zhenren from Medicine King Valley discovered a rare herb. After bringing it back to Herb Hall, within half a month, a piece of news suddenly spread.
According to their Sect's Herb Ancestor, a peculiar pill had been developed, named the Spirit Origin Transformation Pill.
It was rumored that this pill could not only help cultivators at the Heart-Moving Stage achieve the Golden Core Stage by condensing their golden cores but also form a Spirit Origin Transformation Pill when one could not condense their core in one go.
After going through several transformations, there would be a chance to directly advance to the Golden Core Stage, and even reach the mid-level of golden cores or above.
If a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage took it, there was a possibility of enhancing the quality of their golden core. Although the improvement might be slight, it was still an extremely rare treasure.
According to rumors, this batch of Spirit Origin Transformation Pills was about to be produced soon, which had finally piqued the interest of many major forces, leading to a fierce battle of intrigue.
They too were tempted, which is why they had come here eagerly.
The intrigue happening within Lingbao Pavilion was even more thought-provoking because the two pills in Wu Shao's storage bag turned out to be Spirit Origin Transformation Pills.
This was not something Wu Yongli, the head of Lingbao Pavilion and Wu Shao's grandfather, would take lightly. No matter how cunning he might be, he wouldn't betray his only bloodline descendant; this was something highly valued in this world.
Bloodline inheritance could ensure the continuation of one's lineage and legacy.
Upon hearing about the Spirit Origin Transformation Pill, Ye Kai immediately recalled Wu Shao's earlier predicament and secretly instructed WIKI to search for that storage bag they had obtained.
Unexpectedly, two Spirit Origin Transformation Pills were indeed found.
After having WIKI analyze them, he furrowed his brow again. "Such a reverse elixir, if it falls into the hands of Medicine King Valley or Herb Hall, wouldn't they be able to mass-produce Golden Core Cultivators?"
This was an extremely terrifying prospect.
Whether in superpowers or ordinary Sects, the Golden Core Stage represented the core strength of a faction. In such forces, there would only be one Nascent Soul Ancestor overseeing things, while the sect leader and elders would only be at the Golden Core Stage.
In other major powers, although there weren't many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, they definitely exceeded double digits. Even among Powerful Beings of the Refinement of Spirit and Return to Void Realm, such as those at the Separation Stage or Fusion Stage, there were several.
Even in Lingbao Pavilion, Bone Gate, Two Realms Mountain, Supreme Void Palace, and Boundless Sea with the Seven Great Royal Families like the Jiaolong Clan, the Golden Core Stage remained essential as a pillar that connected the upper and lower tiers; it was the backbone force.
If Medicine King Valley or Herb Hall could mass-produce Golden Core Cultivators with their pills, it would undoubtedly be an incredibly frightening matter.
Conversely, would other major Sects, especially those entrenched in the Transverse Mountain Range like Bone Gate, sit idly by while Medicine King Valley and Herb Hall rose to power right under their noses?
Or did they simply lack substantial evidence?!
Ye Kai raised his doubts. Wu Yongli, an elder from Lingbao Pavilion, answered honestly, "I heard from a hidden elder of Bone Gate at the Separation Stage who specifically sent someone to check on Herb Hall. The conclusion was that the Spirit Origin Transformation Pill is completely nonexistent; it's just a rumor."
"That's what they say, but other forces are still holding onto the idea that it's better to believe it exists than not. So they are plotting in secret. If there really is a Spirit Origin Transformation Pill, they will find a way to get their hands on it."
Ye Kai's eyes flashed with a divine light as a faint killing intent emerged. He coldly snorted, "Am I that easy to deceive?"
"Senior, I..."
Wu Yongli's heart sank as he hurriedly tried to explain himself. However, Ye Kai waved his hand to interrupt him and looked deeply into his eyes. "The truest lies are always seven parts true and three parts false or nine parts true and one part false. Is there anything else missing from your words?"
Seeing Wu Yongli's face change slightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, Aoyou Lie nearly burst into a tirade. "What the hell are you doing at a time like this? If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you!"
Immediately, he clasped his hands together in a respectful gesture and said, "Senior, actually, the Spirit Origin Transformation Pill has already been refined once, yielding eleven pills. However, things in the Herb Hall are not peaceful; suddenly, a steward turned traitor and snatched away several pills."
"Moreover, this conflict attracted others who were secretly watching, and the Final Herb Hall only managed to secure three pills while the rest were taken by other factions."
"Hmph!!!"
Ye Kai snorted coldly and gave both of them a deep look. "Very well, I'll let this slide this time. If it weren't for the fact that I already have two Spirit Origin Transformation Pills in my possession..."
Wu Yongli and Aoyou Lie trembled at his words, their mouths filled with bitterness. Especially Wu Yongli, who could guess with his toes where those two Spirit Origin Transformation Pills had come from.
They swore that in their hundreds of years of existence, they had never felt as desperate or as terrified as they did now, so close to death.
A slight hesitation would bring an overwhelming sense of impending doom.
This feeling was something they never wanted to experience again.
"Lord God!"
At that moment, WIKI stepped forward and softly said, "The former master of White Jade Mountain is approaching with two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and over a dozen Golden Core Cultivators. Should we purify them all?"
"Here we go again?"
Ye Kai frowned. Although he had occupied the nest and acted like a tyrant by driving off the former master, at least he hadn't completely torn the facade; they had engaged in friendly negotiations with an element of threat.
But now, they were coming with two Nascent Soul Ancestors and over a dozen Golden Core Cultivators. Were they preparing to demand something?
However, it didn't matter anymore. The veins within the White Jade Mountain had been completely extracted, and the mountain's exterior was merely a facade; inside, it had transformed into a massive Space Fortress.
It resembled the latest version of the Aerial Battleship, but with a greater emphasis on practical effects and power.
"Alright, since there's no need to stay here any longer, let's move to the Medicine King Valley and Herb Hall. I am quite curious about those alchemical formulas," Ye Kai said with a light chuckle.
He commanded, "Activate the Battleship immediately. Anyone who dares to obstruct us, don't bother reporting—just take them out."
"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've had such a thrilling moment. Let's see how many interesting characters will pop up this time. I truly look forward to them jumping out and making a fuss..."
Wu Yongli and Aoyou Lie stood to the side, exchanging glances, unsure whether to leave or stay, hesitant to move at all.
Hearing such domineering words now made it impossible for them not to feel a jolt of shock.
At that moment, they also understood why this king had refrained from directly eliminating them despite several attempts; it turned out he was genuinely looking for something interesting to pass the time!
Thinking of this, the two shared another silent wry smile.
