Chapter 671 - 671: Nine Revolutions of the Primordial Pill

Chu Qingyun took the scroll.

Using the glow of his Primordial Power, he briefly scanned the scroll and found nothing amiss.

Chu Qingyun had already cultivated both the Martial Master Chapter and the Martial Spirit Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique. It was therefore impossible for this level three Martial King to deceive him.

Getting the Martial King Chapter of the Hidden Qi Technique from this man was an unexpected windfall for Chu Qingyun.

At the very least, it would save him a lot of trouble.

The Primordial Spirit Liquid required to buy the Hidden Qi Technique from the Assassin Alliance wasn't an issue. The real problem was the Contribution Points. Earning them would be a huge hassle, as it required completing missions.

"I've already given you the Hidden Qi Technique. Please, let me go…"

The level three Martial King continued to beg, his face crestfallen.

However, after Chu Qingyun put away the Hidden Qi Technique, he had no intention of letting him go.

"Don't be in such a hurry. There are a few more things I need you to explain to me."

"Regarding the red sphere from the Blood Sect ruins, who told you about it? And what do you want it for?"

Chu Qingyun continued his interrogation.

"This…"

Hesitation flickered across the level three Martial King's face. He clearly didn't want to speak.

Just then, a wisp of Martial Soul Fire silently flared to life on Chu Qingyun's fingertip, frightening the man so badly that he began to tremble and instinctively shrank back.

"Don't, don't! I'll talk, I'll talk…" the man shouted hastily.

'He absolutely did not want to endure the feeling of Martial Soul Fire burning inside his body a second time!'

"Five days ago, on my way back to the Sect, I ran into a group of people on the road. They told me they wanted to get something from a Saint Extreme Sect disciple named Chu Qingyun and asked for my help."

"They promised me a huge reward after it was done."

"The thing they wanted was a sphere-shaped object you obtained in the Blood Sect ruins. As for what it is or what it's for, I have no idea!"

The man obediently told him everything he knew.

As he spoke, Chu Qingyun watched him closely. He didn't seem to be lying; what he said was likely the truth.

And according to him, this meant someone else was after the red sphere.

This made Chu Qingyun even more curious and confused. He wanted to know who those people were.

"Who were those people? Do you know?" Chu Qingyun asked.

The level three Martial King shook his head and said, "I asked them, but they wouldn't say. They just told me to mind my own business and not ask too many questions."

"So you came out today to deliver it to them?" Chu Qingyun said.

The man nodded.

"Where is the drop-off point? And what are their cultivation levels?" Chu Qingyun continued to ask.

The man hesitated for a moment before answering, "The drop-off point is at Ju Yang Ridge, not far south of here. As for their strength… they're all Earth King Realm experts, and I know there are several level six Martial Kings among them!"

Hearing this, Chu Qingyun couldn't help but roll his eyes.

'This level three Martial King is really as dumb as they come.'

'With his pathetic strength as a mere level three Martial King, he actually dared to stupidly run off to make a deal with people like that? A huge reward? He'd be lucky not to get slapped to death on the spot!'

However, Chu Qingyun had been in the Sect for too short a time to understand how much power and prestige a Sect Disciple wielded in the outside world.

The title of a Saint Extreme Sect disciple was an excellent protective shield.

Unless someone had a powerful backer and acted without fear, or was tempted by an enormous reward, no one would normally risk killing a Sect Disciple.

"I've told you everything I know. Here, I'll give you back this treasure…"

"For the sake of us both being disciples of the Saint Extreme Sect, please let me go. Spare me just this once…"

As he spoke, the man took out the Red Crystal Ball he had stolen earlier and continued to beg for mercy.

But unfortunately for him, Chu Qingyun had never intended to let him go from the very beginning.

Because Chu Qingyun was 100% certain that if their positions were reversed, and Chu Qingyun had been the weaker one, the man definitely wouldn't have spared him either.

Chu Qingyun slapped a palm against his body. The Devouring Power erupted instantly, invading his meridians and rapidly beginning to devour his flesh and Primordial Power.

The level three Martial King instantly felt all the Primordial Power in his body surge uncontrollably toward Chu Qingyun's palm.

Moreover, his body began to wither rapidly from the inside!

He began to struggle frantically, even at the cost of worsening his injuries, mobilizing a massive amount of Primordial Power from his Qi Sea Essence Pill to resist the Devouring Power.

However, it was all in vain.

The devastating destruction wrought by the Devouring Power inside his body completely ruined many of his meridians, making it impossible to circulate his Primordial Power.

Soon, he breathed his last, completely losing the ability to resist.

Furthermore, Chu Qingyun noticed that the instant the level three Martial King died, the Primordial Pill in his Qi Sea began to dissipate rapidly.

A massive amount of Primordial Power dissipated and diluted into the surrounding space at an extremely fast rate.

'So, to obtain a Martial King Essence Pill, it's not enough to just kill a Martial King Realm expert. I also need a special method to seal the Primordial Power within the Primordial Pill…'

Not daring to waste any time, Chu Qingyun ignored the man's body for the moment. He focused all his Devouring Power, surging it into the man's Qi Sea to devour the Primordial Power from the Martial King Essence Pill with all his might.

After advancing to the Martial King Realm, Chu Qingyun's Devouring Power was also much stronger than before.

Therefore, although the Primordial Power from the Martial King Essence Pill was dissipating quickly, Chu Qingyun still managed to forcefully intercept and seize the majority of it.

Streams of extremely pure Primordial Power were continuously sent into his Devouring Martial Soul along with the Devouring Power.

The Devouring Martial Soul rapidly Refined this Primordial Power.

After the Primordial Power was Refined, it surged out from the Devouring Martial Soul.

Meanwhile, in Chu Qingyun's Qi Sea, the massive Martial King Essence Pill floating above his Devouring Martial Soul seemed to sense this and began to rotate slowly.

As the Martial King Essence Pill spun, it absorbed all the Primordial Power within his Qi Sea.

The Primordial Pill of the level three Martial King was soon devoured completely.

However, after absorbing such a large amount of Primordial Power, Chu Qingyun's own Primordial Pill showed no reaction at all. There were no signs of Primordial Power gathering for a breakthrough.

In other words, a breakthrough to level two Martial King was still a long way off.

Each time one broke through in the Martial King Realm, a vortex of abnormally concentrated Primordial Power would form on the Primordial Pill.

When nine such vortexes formed on the Primordial Pill, it signified that the pill was complete. It meant one had taken another step on the path of the Martial Dao and entered the Martial Emperor Realm!

This was the so-called Nine Revolutions of the Primordial Pill.
