Chapter 696: Sharing the Spoils!

"Hahaha... The supreme god pill is mine!"

A genius martial artist from the Tianyang Empire clutched a round, glossy pill, laughing loudly.

In an instant, countless eyes fixated on him, and seeing the pill in his hand, their gazes turned ablaze with desire.

However, before the martial artist could fully enjoy his triumph, a cold sword pierced through his heart from behind, severing the hand that held the pill. The black-robed young man who had killed him showed no mercy, murdering him for his treasure.

Yet, when he looked closer at the pill in the severed hand, he immediately discarded it. A swift slash of his sword shattered both the severed hand and the pill into dust.

That was no supreme god pill—at best, it was just an ordinary spirit pill!

Tiandan Pavilion was originally a place to store medicinal pills. The recent catastrophic Blood Echelon Creation Tribulation Lightning had destroyed all the protective barriers within, meaning that while the Supreme God Pill had indeed emerged, many other pills were also affected. However, some pills managed to survive the destruction.

Though their value was far from that of the Supreme God Pill, they still held considerable worth.

Soon, most people realized this and shifted their focus from the supreme god pill alone.

After all, the chances of obtaining the Supreme God Pill were nearly impossible, whereas the competition for the more common pills would be less intense and might even offer a chance at silent fortune.

In short, amidst the ruins of the Tiandan Pavilion, around a hundred people scoured the rubble, searching thoroughly for any valuable items.

...

Within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

"Ten... Ten pills!"

Seeing the ten round pills at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, even Ling Feng, a seasoned alchemist, was taken aback.

No wonder the pill tribulation just now had been so fierce—this single batch had yielded ten top-tier pills that surpassed the ninth-tier!

But this was actually good news; at least there was no need to worry about dividing them up.

Ling Feng carefully gathered the ten pills into a prepared jade box and inspected them. He discovered that two of the pills were only half-finished, lacking in spiritual essence and medicinal potency, barely reaching even one percent of a finished pill's quality.

A half-finished pill could mean it was botched, though these two pills had solidified and clearly weren't failures.

The second possibility was that these two pills had not fully endured the pill tribulation and were thus only ninth-tier spirit pills.

Still, producing eight out of ten pills with an eighty percent success rate was quite remarkable.

Of course, this was mainly due to the pills having absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for thousands of years, allowing them to withstand the formidable pill tribulation.

Fundamentally, Ling Feng's involvement had simply accelerated the pill-condensing process.

"Everyone gets one; each of you can take a pill."

Ling Feng placed the jade box in the middle of the group. Although all the pills were the same size, their colors varied, with some being dark red and others purple-black. This indicated differences in the materials used.

Even with his expertise, Ling Feng couldn't identify what these pills were exactly.

From his experience, he guessed they weren't poisonous, but even as spirit pills, taking them could be dangerous if one's cultivation level wasn't high enough to withstand the potency.

Like when Ling Feng had consumed the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit—if not for the assistance of the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation, he would've likely exploded from its energy.

"Just a warning, these pills contain tremendous power, so I don't recommend anyone taking them right away," Ling Feng said calmly, holding the jade box.

Later, he could consult the "despicable donkey" for its opinion. Although annoyingly talkative, it had a keen eye. Alternatively, he could ask seniors like Yan Cangtian, who were experts in alchemy, and might know more.

"Oh," Jiang Xiaofan nodded, never doubting Ling Feng's words.

The others exchanged glances and nodded as well. The pills were in their possession, so there was no rush to consume them.

Each of them selected a pill and carefully stored it, not in any hurry to consume it.

A supreme god pill that had triggered an emperor-tier tribulation was no trivial matter.

Ling Feng stored the remaining five pills, including the two half-finished ones. Apart from keeping one for himself, he could share the others with some of his companions.

As for the half-finished pills, though they lacked the potency of a finished one, they still reached the ninth tier. Whether auctioned or used to nurture talents within his sect, they were valuable assets.

...

After lying low for a while, Ling Feng maneuvered the Five Elements Heavenly Palace to a secluded corner, allowing everyone to exit back to the outside world.

Before that, Ling Feng reminded everyone to keep silent about the supreme god pills they had obtained.

None of them were foolish; they knew that possessing valuable items could invite trouble. If news got out that they had these pills, every genius in the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons would likely turn against them.

The frenzy for the supreme god pill lasted for two full days.

Afterward, Feng Yan's group was the first to abandon this "treasure scavenging" activity. Although they had collected a few pills over those days, they were merely seventh- and eighth-tier spirit pills. Perhaps, as Fatty Huang had suggested, the supreme god pill hadn't survived the tribulation and had disintegrated into ash.

There were many other treasures to be found in the ancient ruins of the Huangji Sect, and with only about three days left before the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons would close, they couldn't waste their time in just one place.

Places like the scripture depository or the treasure pavilion surely held other opportunities.

After leaving the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Ling Feng and his companions also started searching the massive ruined city for other opportunities.

Martial arts techniques, skills, secret arts, magical treasures—all these were essential to a martial artist's strength!

For example, a sky-tier martial art versus an earth-tier martial art could create a vast difference between two people with the same aptitude.

Ling Feng's True Art of Xuanyuan had been sufficient up until now, but times had changed. Back in the small Wenxian Sect, an earth-tier art was considered top-notch. But now, he was dealing with monstrous talents, where earth-tier arts had become a weak link.

It was time to search for a higher-tier art with attributes similar to the True Art of Xuanyuan and replace it.

It wasn't that Ling Feng couldn't acquire other sky-tier arts; for instance, if he asked Yan Cangtian, he could easily obtain one.

However, Ling Feng possessed a unique Chaotic Physique, and single-attribute arts would only limit his potential. The most suitable art for him would be an attribute-neutral one. But, attribute-neutral sky-tier arts were extremely rare compared to single-attribute arts.

So, Ling Feng had continued using his earth-tier True Art of Xuanyuan without switching to another cultivation method.
