Whoosh!

Before the thin man could stand up, Zhang Ruochen’s cold and black sword was already at his forehead.

The Pill Spirit King’s beautiful face had a joyful expression. She immediately walked toward Zhang Ruochen. “Seal his cultivation. I have a secret spell to search his memories. I might be able to see who wants to kill me.”

A strange expression appeared in the man’s eyes. Holy Qi spun violently within him.

“No, he wants to deactivate his Sea of Qi and saint source.”

Poof!

Zhang Ruochen stabbed forward, piercing the man’s forehead.

But after doing so, Zhang Ruochen’s blood ran cold.

The man’s Sea of Qi wasn’t under his forehead.

Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Pill Spirit King and rushed back. He also added Holy Qi into the seventh level Pagoda Rune.

The next moment, blinding light shot out of the man’s heart. His body was torn apart instantly, turning into powder. A destructive force also surged out, sweeping into all directions.

Boom!

The Lifeless Blood Prison sealing the room also disappeared when the man died.

The formation runes carved in the walls, floor, and ceiling only held up for an instant. Then the horrible destructive force pulverized the room.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Hundred Flower Palace shook instantly. All the formation runes were activated, and beams of light shot up. A dozen formations appeared on the ground and in the sky, spinning quickly.

Even so, with the esteemed guest room as the center, a ring of a dozen meters was turned into rubble.

The strong cultivators of the Thousand Pistil Field were all alarmed. They hurried over and gasped after seeing the huge ditch.

Two hours later

The Pill Spirit King explained what had happened to the people of the Thousand Pistil Field before meeting with Zhang Ruochen in the Swallow Palace Cave.

Zhang Ruochen sat on a stone stool, looking at the seventh level Pagoda Rune in his palm. There were seven cracks on it.

One could imagine that this highly expensive rune would shatter completely after another use.

A faint peony fragrance met his nose.

He put the Pagoda Rune away and stared at the beautiful female Saint King before him.

The Pill Spirit King smiled and bowed slightly. “Thank you, Lord Ruochen, for saving me twice. I am owing you more and more.”

Since the other recognized him, Zhang Ruochen shook and turned back into his original appearance. “To be honest, you really have to repay me,” he said, sighing. “Last time, I was almost turned into Queen Lian’s Yang drug. This time, I’m even more innocent. I almost died for no reason.”

The Pill Spirit King sat down across from Zhang Ruochen, her breasts quivering slightly. She stared at him with almond eyes and her bright red lips moved. “How do you want me to repay you?”

Hearing a beautiful woman ask that, any man would have many thoughts.

Zhang Ruochen touched his chin with a finger and stared at the Pill Spirit King’s features with a thoughtful expression.

When the Pill Spirit King grew uncomfortable, he finally said, “I’m interested in the Assassin Puppets of the Heavenly Assassination Organization. How about you give me the two Assassin Puppets that you took?”

The Pill Spirit King was relieved. “I thought you wanted my body,” she said, chuckling. “So, you want the two Assassin Puppets.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Seems like you’re disappointed.”

“Nonsense.”

The Pill Spirit King grew serious again. She placed the two silver balls on the stone table.

Just as Zhang Ruochen reached out to take them, she pressed down on the balls and pulled them back.

Zhang Ruochen frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Third step Saint King Puppet Killers can’t even be bought on the market,” the Pill Spirit King said. “But you can still estimate their price. An Assassin Puppet of that level would be at least 20 million saint stones.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t deny this. An Assassin Puppet was indeed worth that price.

“So, I won’t owe you anymore after giving them to you.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “I feel like two Assassin Puppets still aren’t as valuable as your life. How about you add something else?”

The Pill Spirit King’s eyes grew resentful. “How can you be so stingy as the leader of a world? Can’t you be more generous before a beauty? Isn’t it better for me to owe you?”

Zhang Ruochen shrugged. “I can’t force someone to repay gratitude. If you’re unwilling, I can’t do anything about it.”

Other cultivators tried their hardest to kiss up to the Pill Spirit King’s and she wouldn’t even look at them. But not only did Zhang Ruochen not take this chance to kiss up, he even acted as if she owed him a lot of money.

She rolled her eyes. It was the first time someone spoke casually about gratitude. “What do you want?”

“A Six Desires Ancient Pill,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Pill Spirit King shook her head immediately. “It belongs to the Hundred Flower Palace. Not only is it expensive, it’s also very rare. I can’t give it to you.”

After a pause, she continued, “Actually, I want to buy one too, so I can improve my Spiritual Power. But after the attack from the Yin and Yang Palace, I lost all my money. I can’t afford the pill now. How about you change your conditions?”

Zhang Ruochen thought carefully and smiled. “After thinking, I feel that having an advanced and beautiful female Saint King owe me isn’t bad.”

The Pill Spirit King rolled her eyes again. She thought that Zhang Ruochen said that because he saw that she was too poor and couldn’t scam her of anything valuable.

“A Six Desires Ancient Pill is 18 million saint stones for one pill, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Yes,” the Pill Spirit King. “But due to your relationship with the Hundred Flower Palace, I can voluntarily lower the price by 50,000 saint stones.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “How many Six Desires Ancient Pills does the Hundred Flower Palace have?”

“Three.”

“Okay, I want them all.”

The Pill Spirit King knew that Zhang Ruochen must’ve hit a fortune after conquering the Yin and Yang Palace, but she was still impressed by how much of a spender he was. She was the daughter of a Peony Race god, but compared to him, she was just a poor child.

“I must remind you,” she said seriously. “The Six Desires Ancient Pill is very strong. Even if you’re Spiritual Power is at level 55, it can still be dangerous.”

Zhang Ruochen already knew this.

But he was still confident in controlling the pill.

“In addition, if you take a second pill, the effect will be halved,” the Pill Spirit King said. “If you take a third, the effect will be halved again, so it’s actually a waste to buy three at once.”

“Then, is there a saint pill at the same level that can improve Spiritual Power?” Zhang Ruochen asked seriously.

“There are some, but they’re very rare. The pill recipe isn’t publicized and usually in the hands of the top clans and sects of the top 100 worlds. It’s also very difficult to produce the pills. The top clans don’t even have enough, so they won’t sell them.”

“In that case, I still want three Six Desires Ancient Pills.”

After a pause, Zhang Ruochen continued, “Does the Hundred Flower Palace have the Seven Emotions Ancient Pill?”

The Pill Spirit King stared deeply at him. “The Seven Emotions Ancient Pill is a heaven grade pill. It’s more than ten times more expensive than the Six Desires Ancient Pill. You should also know that Spiritual Power cultivators usually take it when trying for the Supreme Saint Realm. Even if you can afford it, your Spiritual Power isn’t enough to refine it.”

“Then, whatever!”

Zhang Ruochen knew clearly how useful saint stones were. In the Heaven World, you could improve quickly if you had enough saint stones. Thus, he didn’t buy the Seven Emotions Ancient Pill now. He prepared to use his saint stones where he needed them.

After an hour, the Pill Spirit King returned. Not only did she have three Six Desires Ancient Pills, she also brought a book.

Zhang Ruochen handed over a storage bag with 52.5 million saint stones and put away the three pills. Then he picked up the yellowing book and asked curiously, “And this is?”

“The Thousand Pistil Field has been fighting with the Heavenly Assassination Organization for quite some time,” the Pill Spirit King said. “We’ve collected some material about Assassin Puppets. It may be helpful for you.”

Zhang Ruochen was happy. He flipped through the book and put it away. “It’s a pleasant thing to have the Pill Spirit King owe me. Thank you!”

“It’s also a pleasant thing to hear you thank someone.”

The Pill Spirit King chuckled but quickly grew serious again. “There’s something else I must warn you about. The killer who tried to kill me might not be a Assassin Heavenly King. Instead, he could be a Death Emissary produced by a Heavenly King.”

“Death Emissary?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“An Assassin Heavenly King creates them by suppressing another Saint King and using a secret spell to erase their consciousness and add a shred of their own saint spell and intent to kill. They develop a creature who doesn’t fear death. They’re like half-alive and half-dead.”

“A Saint King’s mind is so strong. How can it be erased so easily?”

The Pill Spirit King seemed to think of something terrifying. She paled and said bitterly, “Before, I also thought that a Saint King’s mind could not be destroyed, but in the Yin and Yang Palace… Even I almost broke down…”

Zhang Ruochen knew that she must’ve thought of herself. Thinking of her hellish experience in the Yin and Yang Palace, she must have been filled with pain.

Zhang Ruochen immediately changed the subject. “I believe it’s not that easy to create a Death Emissary, unless they have 100,000 years of accumulation. Just how strong is the Heavenly Assassination Organization?”

The Pill Spirit King nodded. “Yes, the death rate for producing Death Emissaries is very high. Saint Kings aren’t so easily captured either. Only top Assassin Heavenly Kings can produce them. If our killer is a Death Emissary, then judging by his strength, his owner must be a famous figure on the rank.”

“What rank?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Assassin Heavenly King Rank.”

The Pill Spirit King had a reason for suspecting the thin man to be a Death Emissary.

He was very strong, but at the Pill Spirit King’s top state, she could still fight with him. An Assassin Heavenly King at that level wouldn’t be able to have three third step Saint King Assassin Puppets and Trifoot Carnivorous Insects.

It could only mean that the man had an even more terrifying figure behind him.
