Chapter 214: The Frost Pill is Secured
Ancient Secret Realm, Pill Arena.
The Pill Arena was vast, and even at Lin Langtian's speed, it took several minutes to reach the deepest pill chamber. Compared to other rooms filled with Nirvana Pills, this chamber was not only extremely hidden but also appeared far more ancient.
The doorway, yellowed with age, was etched with faded rune patterns that emanated faint energy ripples. Lin Langtian stepped forward and pressed his hand gently against the door, nodding in satisfaction as he felt its power.
With a pulse of his devouring force, he began to break down the ancient runes, eroding them piece by piece.
Hiss!
Under the devouring force, the runes gradually weakened and soon disappeared altogether.
Boom!
As the runes vanished, the door crumbled, and a wave of dense medicinal energy, like a volcano pent up for a thousand years, burst forth from within.
"Let's go!" Lin Langtian frowned as the eruption of energy intensified, wasting no time as he dashed into the chamber.
Inside, the chamber wasn't dark; it was bathed in soft light, though thick medicinal mist lingered, partially obscuring his view. The chamber was vast, with towering stone pillars stretching to the ceiling. Resting atop each pillar were various colored pills, each one radiating a potent energy.
Scanning over them, Lin Langtian muttered in amazement as he recognized the rare and precious pills.
"Tribulation Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill, Divine Fusion Pill…"
Seeing such a variety of valuable elixirs even made his breath quicken. Each of these pills was invaluable outside, particularly the Tribulation Pill, also known as the Nirvana Pill, a highly coveted treasure among Nirvana practitioners.
"Mo Ying, take as many as you can carry!" Lin Langtian instructed, leaping up toward the pillars without hesitation.
Mo Ying's eyes glinted, and his hands surged with demonic energy as he set about gathering the pills. Jin Wu, not to be outdone, opened its beak wide, swallowing down the pills, its stomach seemingly holding some kind of storage space.
As they swept through the chamber, their actions echoed loudly, attracting the attention of others. Hearing the noise, Lin Langtian only grinned and continued moving deeper into the chamber until he spotted something in the very center.
There, on a lone, ancient white stone pillar, sat a smooth, white pill emitting waves of chilling energy.
The white pill floated quietly atop the stone pillar, and unlike the other potent pills radiating energy, this one seemed calm and unremarkable. It didn't even have a scent, more like a simple lump of ice.
"Oh, the Icebound Frost Pill really is here!" Lin Langtian muttered in delight, realizing he had found exactly what he was searching for.
This pill was crucial for Jin Wu's evolution. With it, and the blood essence of the Nine Nether Cold Sparrow, Jin Wu could finally attempt to transform into the legendary Nine Hells Dark Golden Crow!
Without hesitation, Lin Langtian moved to reach for the Icebound Frost Pill.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to grasp it, multiple sharp gusts of wind shot toward him from behind, aimed at his vital spots with deadly accuracy.
Boom!
A flash of irritation passed through Lin Langtian's eyes. But before he could even react, Mo Ying dashed forward, deflecting the attacks with several powerful punches.
Whoosh!
In that brief moment, a few figures closed in from behind, their greedy eyes fixed on the Icebound Frost Pill. They, too, had recognized the pill and were fully aware of its immense value to anyone who cultivated ice-attribute techniques.
The leader of the group, a Second Nirvana stage ice-type practitioner, locked his gaze on Lin Langtian. His face paled when he recognized the young man who turned to face him.
"You… you're Lin Langtian!" he stammered, shocked to find himself face-to-face with the famed Flame Alliance leader.
"Foolish," Lin Langtian muttered, slightly narrowing his eyes. He gestured to Mo Ying to handle them, and within seconds, Mo Ying moved in with powerful, rapid strikes, leaving the leader with no room to escape.
No longer interested in the commotion, Lin Langtian turned his attention back to the Icebound Frost Pill. He lunged forward, stretching out his hand.
Hiss…
As Lin Langtian's hand reached within half a foot of the pill, an intense chill suddenly shot forth, snaking around his arm with a visible frosty trail and quickly spreading toward his shoulder.
Grit!
Lin Langtian hissed as a wave of biting pain traveled through his body. The frost was unlike anything he'd felt, swiftly creeping over him as if determined to envelop his entire being.
"Presumptuous!"
With a low growl, he unleashed his Nine Nether energy, a power infused with his own essence and the Nine Nether Flame. Instantly, he felt the frost's advance stall as his energy surged back, pushing the icy aura away from his arm.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Langtian clenched his fist firmly around the pill.
The Icebound Frost Pill was his at last!
