Chapter 498: Xiao Yan Seeks Wu Tian Meanwhile, "Newbie" Wu Tian
The moment Xiao Yan entered the Pill Realm, he started bragging about his tragic life, unknowingly triggering the wrath of the Ice Venerable, who had also entered the realm in secret.
Upon realizing that the Ice Venerable was a Five Star Dou Zun, Xiao Yan immediately ran for his life.
He felt absolutely miserable. All he did was complain a little!
Hadn't his life already been tragic enough?
His fiancée turned into a bootlicker, fawning over his fellow transmigrator.
The girl he truly loved? She willingly went to that same transmigrator sweet, affectionate, and utterly devoted.
As for Xiao Yi Xian, he once thought he'd found his first love again, only to discover she had always belonged to Wu Tian!
Then came the Tagor Desert not only did he lose the Heavenly Flame, but the Medusa Queen he'd been dreaming about never even showed up…
Instead, he was stuck traveling with an old geezer.
At first, he thought he'd found a wise mentor.
But as it turned out that geezer only saw him as a tool!
His sole purpose was to be exploited to help his so called teacher reconstruct his physical body.
Damn it! Fairy tales are all lies!
Wu Tian may have made his life miserable, but he also helped him reach an unimaginable height.
So, was this a curse or a blessing?
One thing was certain right now, it was definitely a curse.
Because behind him, the Ice Venerable Valley Master of Ice River Valley was still chasing him down like a mad dog!
If not for his Three Thousand Lightning Movement and the Emerald Wings that Yao Chen had given him, he would've been dead already!
The Ice Venerable had no intention of letting him go.
That kid was loaded with treasures everything he carried was enough to make any expert drool with greed.
And he even admitted that he was weak.
So long as he kept up the chase, that brat would collapse sooner or later!
Thinking this, the Ice Venerable completely abandoned his original purpose for entering the Pill Realm.
Instead, he focused entirely on hunting Xiao Yan down!
The two of them turned the vast Pill Realm into a battlefield, their chase becoming increasingly intense.
Below them, other contestants trembled in fear, hiding themselves away.
"What the hell kind of grudge do these two have?!"
"They're already going at it right at the start? And they're both Dou Zun?!"
"Do they not have brains?! If they exhaust themselves now, someone else will just swoop in and reap the benefits!"
But no one dared interfere.
Xiao Yan had only one goal find Wu Tian.
Only his boss, his hated yet respected fellow transmigrator, could save him from being slaughtered.
As the Lord of Cai Lin Pavilion, Wu Tian would surely have already gathered his required medicinal ingredients and headed straight for the final checkpoint.
So all Xiao Yan had to do was run toward the final destination.
Unfortunately… Wu Tian was still playing the role of a clueless newbie at the outer edges of the Pill Realm.
Xiao Yan was running in the completely wrong direction.
And before he reached the final checkpoint, not only would he encounter countless contestants, but he'd also run into the Ice Venerable's allies.
His fate was sealed he was about to suffer even more.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian was having the time of his life, leisurely wandering through the outskirts of the Pill Realm.
He was fully aware that the people from Soul Hall wanted to kill him.
So, naturally, the more anxious they were, the more relaxed he became.
There was nothing better than aimlessly strolling around while making his enemies sweat.
His surroundings were barren aside from endless yellow dirt, there were only a few patches of green vegetation and low level magical beasts.
Some of the beasts even started creeping toward him.
But these weren't playful cats and dogs coming over to nuzzle him affectionately they were hungry and wanted to gnaw on his bones!
Wu Tian couldn't be bothered with them.
He casually activated a thin energy barrier, letting the beasts gnaw on it all they wanted.
Their teeth wore down to nubs, but they still couldn't even scratch his defense.
Glancing into the distance, Wu Tian could faintly make out the outlines of mountains at the far end of the plains.
Squinting slightly, he murmured:
"My Queen, do you want to come out and have some fun?"
A voice instantly replied from within him:
"No!"
It was the icy, yet enchanting voice of Medusa.
Of course, her answer was a firm refusal.
"The energy here might be rich, but it's also filled with chaotic, violent forces!"
"What if they harm our baby?! Hmph! Why don't you ever think about these things?"
Wu Tian sighed helplessly.
"Come on… you really think our strength isn't enough to suppress a few stray chaotic energies?"
But since his beloved wife wanted to stay inside and snuggle against him, he had no choice but to comply.
Ever since Cai Lin got pregnant, she had become even lazier.
She ate all day, then slept, and when she was awake, she either complained about him or demanded attention.
Despite all this, Wu Tian felt incredibly blessed.
"Having my wife and child with me at all times… isn't this the best way to protect them?"
He knew her complaints came from love.
She only nagged because she cared about him.
To Wu Tian, this was the greatest fortune of his life.
If possible, he wished she would scold him like this forever.
But… once their baby was born, would his wife still love him as much?
Would all her affection be given to their child instead?
Wuwuwu~ Just thinking about it hurts my heart…
Shaking off his thoughts, Wu Tian raised his hand, grabbing at the air.
He sensed the fragility of the space around him, causing him to smirk.
"The space created by that so called Dou Sheng is already this weak?"
"It's obvious the Pill Realm is on the verge of collapse."
"Those three old geezers from the Pill Tower… they're useless!"
"They can't even repair this place!"
He scoffed as he scanned the area again.
"Seriously, what do those three spend their time doing?"
"If they're not staring at a ball of fire, they're busy with their love lives. Completely useless!"
After a brief pause, Wu Tian unfolded the parchment in his hand.
It contained **his assigned task **a list of medicinal ingredients he needed to collect.
This was a mandatory "newbie" task that he had to complete to advance.
As he read through the list, his expression darkened.
"That old bastard Xuan Kong Zi…
"He's not just making me collect these ingredients for free…"
"HE GAVE ME A WHOLE DAMN LIST OF THEM!"
Wu Tian looked up at the sky and roared in fury.
His voice echoed across the entire realm, reaching the ears of Xuan Kong Zi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi.
The two other Pill Tower giants turned to stare at their leader.
Xuan Kong Zi forced a bitter smile.
"I only… wanted to give him an excuse to roam around freely."
"Let him plunder whatever he wants~"
