Chapter 499: Too Many Mission Herbs? Then Let's Rename the Pill Realm!
"This is just too ruthless! How are we supposed to collect so many rare medicinal herbs in this Pill Realm? That's easier said than done!"
A small Swallowing Python slithered out of Wu Tian's arms, staring at the fully packed parchment with a helpless smile.
"Hehehe~ We've got time, so we'll just take it slow!"
Wu Tian chuckled mischievously, then put the parchment away.
"There's no way I'm memorizing all these names. I'll just find someone and rob them!"
"And once I gather all the herbs… you think I'm actually handing them over? Heh! The Pill Realm? Might as well rename it Cai Lin Realm!"
"Pfft !"
Medusa couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"Cai Lin Realm doesn't really fit this place. How about… we call it the Heavenly Realm instead?"
"Heavenly Realm???"
Wu Tian paused for a moment, thinking about it. The name did have a bit of a divine touch.
Glancing at the little snake that had just emerged from his chest, he smirked.
"Alright then, let's make sure those old guys regret it. From now on, this place will be called the Heavenly Realm!"
Meanwhile, the three Pill Tower Giants were completely unaware of this discussion.
Wu Tian had completely cut off their ability to eavesdrop.
They could still see his expression, though.
And when Xuan Kong Zi saw Wu Tian's wicked grin, a chill ran down his spine.
"Something bad is about to happen… I can feel it!"
But it was too late to stop him now.
They had invited Wu Tian into the Pill Realm themselves.
And without his help, their Pill Tower would be doomed.
After storing away the parchment, Wu Tian pulled out a small map a detailed layout of the Pill Realm.
His face darkened the moment he saw it.
"What the hell is this?! This whole damn thing is just a bunch of circles inside circles!"
The entire map was covered in red markings, making it impossible to read clearly.
Just looking at it pissed him off.
While he was still processing his frustration, the space beside him began to distort.
Suddenly, more than a dozen figures burst out.
These were other contestants true "newbies" compared to Wu Tian.
Unlike Wu Tian, who only pretended to be clueless, these people were the real deal.
All of them wore Six Star Alchemist robes.
Outside, this rank was enough to command respect and admiration.
But here?
They were nothing but fresh meat.
The moment they touched the ground, something terrifying happened.
The sandy soil beneath them began shifting violently.
Then, from within the earth, a massive serpent lunged at one of them!
The sudden ambush stunned the other alchemists.
However, they didn't panic.
One of them quickly reacted, releasing a burst of Dou Qi to attack the giant snake.
But
Just as his attack landed, the serpent abruptly twisted its body and lunged at another alchemist instead!
That poor guy had been watching the fight from the side, completely unaware that he'd become the new target.
By the time he realized, it was too late.
In the next instant
CRUNCH.
The giant snake swallowed him whole.
A loud gulping sound echoed in the air.
The remaining alchemists shuddered in horror as they stared at the scarlet scaled serpent.
Then someone screamed
"T That's a Rank 7 Violent Four Horned Serpent!!!"
"RUN!!!"
Individually, they were strong.
But against a high ranking magical beast, they weren't strong enough.
Even worse
The smaller serpents that had been biting at Wu Tian earlier?
Now they were rushing toward the alchemists instead.
These were all Rank 6 magical beasts.
For comparison, each one was equivalent to a Dou Huang.
And there were several of them.
Faced with this terrifying horde, the alchemists scattered in all directions.
Wu Tian simply watched them flee, completely unfazed.
These little snakes were terrified of Medusa, so the moment she gave a command, they turned their attention to the alchemists instead.
As the screams faded into the distance, Wu Tian smirked.
"What a bunch of trash."
"Even if they survive, they're bound to crush their Space Stones and teleport out."
Casually glancing back at his map, Wu Tian chose the closest marked location and vanished.
In the next instant, he reappeared atop a towering mountain range.
This was the Myriad Medicine Mountains.
From just the name, it was clear this place was filled with rare medicinal herbs.
It was also one of the main gathering points for alchemists in the competition.
Many of them would be hunting for herbs here.
And Wu Tian?
He wasn't here to collect herbs.
He was here to collect people's herbs.
Because once the Pill Realm became the Heavenly Realm,
everything in it would belong to him.
Hovering above the mountain range, Wu Tian swept his gaze over the dense mist below.
With his terrifyingly powerful soul perception, he instantly sensed a large group of people gathered below.
And within that group…
he recognized a familiar presence.
"Cao Cao arrives the moment you mention him, huh?"
Wu Tian smirked.
His body flickered and in the blink of an eye, he appeared directly above the group.
From his elevated position, he could observe everything clearly.
Below, a hundred cultivators had gathered together, forming a temporary alliance.
A group of this size was a force to be reckoned with.
If they didn't run into any major obstacles, they could easily crush anything in their path.
And at the very center of the group
A handsome young man stood at the highest point, addressing the crowd with a self important expression.
"Everyone…"
Wu Tian's smirk deepened.
Oh? Someone's trying to act important?
This should be interesting.
