The Peak of Alchemy & Martial

C27 – Madman

“Who are you, and what are you doing hiding here?” Pill King Miao Hujin let out a sigh of relief upon seeing a young man emerge.

He was on the run, hyper-alert to every movement around him.

“I’m Yun Haoyan, of the Yuns from Silkbarrow,” the young man introduced himself.

He had come to terms with the fact that he couldn’t repeat his past life’s choice to take Miao Hujin as his master.

Now a Pill God, it was out of the question for him to take a Pill King as his mentor. Even if he were inclined to do so, Miao Hujin would never agree.

Upon hearing Yun Haoyan’s introduction, Pill King Miao Hujin completely let his guard down. If this youth hailed from Silkbarrow, he couldn’t be an envoy of his disciple.

His disciple wouldn’t send a mere Martial Warrior; at the very least, a Grand Martial Master would be dispatched.

Surveying the surroundings, Miao Hujin furrowed his brow and asked, “Why aren’t you safe at home instead of being out here?”

Yun Haoyan, with his fair and neat appearance, was clearly a significant member of the Yun family. For a Martial Warrior to be out alone at night was exceedingly risky.

“I was waiting for you!” Yun Haoyan said with a mysterious smile.

“Waiting for me?” Miao Hujin’s face darkened at the words. He demanded, “Were you sent by my disciple?”

Shaking his head, Yun Haoyan replied, “No, I wasn’t sent by anyone. Regardless of your disciple’s status, he has no authority over me. I came specifically for you.”

“For me?” Miao Hujin chuckled. “What could a broken-down old man like me possibly offer to warrant your visit?”

Looking Miao Hujin in the eye, Yun Haoyan stated earnestly, “You’re far from broken down. You’re the renowned Pill King Miao Hujin.”

“You know!” Miao Hujin’s face underwent a sudden transformation.

“I do, because I am the Pill God!” Yun Haoyan declared with conviction.

Miao Hujin burst into mocking laughter. “The Pill God has been dead for over a hundred thousand years. You claim to be the Pill God? You might as well claim to be the Martial God—that would be more plausible.”

Miao Hujin was convinced that the young man before him had lost his marbles, claiming to be the Pill God.

Did this youth even grasp the gravity of that title? The Pill God was a being capable of concocting God Level pills, a pinnacle that alchemists aspired to reach in their wildest dreams.

Yun Haoyan could only shake his head in resignation; he was well aware that speaking the truth would earn him no belief.

“Pill God Body, refine!”

In a flash, a purple flame materialized out of thin air.

The flame pierced the dark night, shining like a resplendent pearl, luminous and splendid.

“What on earth…?” Pill King Miao Hujin’s eyes bulged as he fixated on the flame hovering in the void.

Being an alchemist of the Pill King Realm, he understood that such a flame was meant for pill refinement.

Yet, no one had ever managed to refine pills in midair without the aid of a pill furnace.

If such a feat were possible, what use would alchemists have for a pill furnace? They could simply refine pills in the void.

“Refine!” Yun Haoyan commanded with a firm voice.

Nearby, weeds and leaves soared towards the flame, transforming into small green droplets.

“Condense!” With a flicker in his gaze, Yun Haoyan willed the droplets to merge into a single pill.

Naturally, it was a dud pill, devoid of any real potency.

Yun Haoyan grasped the pill and nonchalantly tossed it to Pill King Miao Hujin.

Catching the pill with care, Pill King Miao Hujin scrutinized it closely. A pill refined in the void from mere flora was certainly worth a thorough examination.
