Chapter 94: The Spiritfount Pill (1/2)

Everyone chatted for a while before the sky gradually darkened. Then, everyone went back to their respective rooms.

The Treasure Convention would officially start the next day. Shi Yi, Luo Xin, and Jiang Lingzhu had already gone to rest in their rooms on the higher floors of the stone pavilion.

Only Nie Tian was asked by Liu Yan to stay.

“Nie Tian, since you’re here, did martial granduncle tell you to choose some spiritual tool?”

Nie Tian took out the command medallion that had the character ‘Ji’ on it, and showed it to Liu Yan. “He told me that I can choose up to three items that I like, and just by showing off this thing they’ll let me have them.”

With a brief glance at it, Liu Yan indicated for him to put it away.

Liu Yan frowned. “Years ago, your grandfather was seriously wounded in a fight with Yun Meng and Yuan Fengchun, and his spiritual sea was destroyed. Ever since, your grandfather hasn’t been able to gather the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to continue his cultivation. Not only that, but because his spiritual sea was shattered, the spirit energy that he had gathered over the years faded away as time passed.

“Therefore, not only was your grandfather unable to achieve a breakthrough, but his cultivation has been on the decline.

“To a cultivator, the destruction of the spiritual sea means the end of the cultivation path.From then on, your grandfather has been living in depression. His status in the Nie clan also gradually lowered, and he was eventually replaced by Nie Beichuan.

“Of course, now that you’ve become the disciple of martial granduncle, your grandfather’s position in the Nie clan is once again stable.

“However, it’s hard to say if the situation will last for long. Also, this is not the way to fundamentally restore your grandfather’s confidence.”

Having laid the groundwork to make his point, Liu Yan continued, “I heard that the Spiritual Treasure sect will be putting up a very valuable Spiritfount Pill for sale, which is a seventh level Medium grade medicinal pill. It can help a cultivator rebuild their spirit sea. Your grandfather’s injury can be completely healed by it.”

Nie Tian’s mind shook. “Spiritfount Pill!”

He had always desired to help his grandfather recover from his injury one day.

Nie Donghai’s health and longevity had always been his sore point.

After hearing that there would be a pill that could cure his grandfather’s injuries for sale at this Treasure Convention, he immediately grew excited.

“A seventh level Medium grade Spiritfount Pill is definitely a rare treasure,” Liu Yan said with a brief smile. “If you were still the Nie Tian from the Nie clan, or an ordinary disciple of the Cloudsoaring sect, there would be no way for you to obtain such a valuable item. However, now that you’ve become the disciple of my martial granduncle, and are in possession of his command medallion, you can go demand that Spiritfount Pill from the Spiritual Treasure sect.”

“When and where will it be sold?” Nie Tian asked hastily.

“Tomorrow, in the Pill Pavilion,” answered Liu Yan.

“Thank you for telling me this, Uncle Liu. I’ll go to the Pill Pavilion first thing in the morning to get that Spiritfount Pill!”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

As the two of them talked, the sky completely darkened. Many bright lights could be seen along the streets outside.

At that moment, a female voice echoed from the door. “Excuse me… is Nie Tian here?”

Liu Yan was surprised. He looked at Nie Tian curiously, and said, “Someone’s looking for you?”

Nie Tian instantly realized that voice belonged to An Shiyi’s younger cousin, An Ying.

“An Ying…”

“Yes,” Nie Tian replied, going on to explain, “she’s a friend I made in the Green Illusion dimension.”

Liu Yan nodded his head and said, “I’ll go back to my room. You can go to the third floor later on. There are a few vacant rooms there. You can find one to rest.”

With these words, he walked up the stairs, leaving the ground floor to Nie Tian and his visitor.

The door to the stone tower had been half-opened. After Liu Yan went upstairs, An Ying quietly stuck her head in through the gap.

“I’m here,” Nie Tian said.

It was also at that moment that An Ying saw him. Then, she cut the pleasantries and walked in.

When she looked around and realized that Nie Tian was the only one there, she asked, “Where are the others?”

Nie Tian pointed to the ceiling.

He didn’t have a favorable impression of An Ying. Before they had entered the Green Illusion dimension, she had seemed to be rather resentful towards him, and when they were in the Green Illusion dimension, she had also targeted him.

It was only later, due to his decisiveness and fierceness in the fight with the Lurker Lizard, that he had gained her trust to some extent.

However, when the witch Yu Tong had wrapped him up in her scarlet blood strings, An Ying didn’t choose to stay and help him. Instead, she believed that he would be killed beyond a shadow of a doubt, and thus abandoned him.

Therefore, he only felt that he owed An Shiyi, but not An Ying.

Now, half a year later, An Ying had become even more elegant and beautiful, however, her beauty was still dwarfed by An Shiyi.

An Ying was always straightforward, but now she seemed to have a faint sadness hidden in between her furrowed eyebrows. Something seemed to be weighing her down.
