Super Evil Emperor

4However, such an expensive mission like the Swordwork Value, yet no one was interested in it, which made Yang Xie feel even more uneasy and felt that this mission was a little strange.    1

    

That meant that any disciple could take it, and his strength was now comparable to a promoting spirit and qi expert's. Even if there was anything wrong with the mission, he was confident that she would be able to handle it.    

    

Under everyone's shock, Yang Xie accepted the mission and without stopping, left the 'Tianhua Palace'.    

    

After exiting the 'Tianhua Palace', Yang Xie followed the instructions on the mission and came to the 'Precious Medicine Peak'. Of course, the reason he could find the mountain so quickly was all because of that Hua Lao.    

    

That Hua Lao was indeed as he had said. Not only was he familiar with the various sizes of the 'My Sword Sect', he also had an extremely deep understanding of the various matters of the sect, as if he knew everything.    

    

According to the quest, he wanted to help the Elder Ge of the 'Precious Medicine Peak' to keep watch over the pill furnace, and he had asked that Hua Lao do this before and found out that the other party was actually the famous' My Sword Sect '. However, it was said that his reputation was not very good for some reason.    

    

What put him at ease was that although this Elder Ge was the most prestigious one in the sect, his cultivation was only at the four kinds of qi realm. As a result, he did not need to worry about his identity being seen through.    

    

It was just that when he thought about it, he still had to worry about taking missions in the future, which made Yang Xie very distressed. This was because it meant that some missions with very high rewards were also impossible to take, otherwise, it would be very easy for others to see through them.    

    

Therefore, Yang Xie secretly decided that he must find a chance to settle this matter in the future.    

    

Just as he was pondering in his heart, Yang Xie had already arrived at the 'Precious Medicine Peak', and saw that the mountain was over ten kilometers high, and the entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of clouds. He knew that this was definitely an array formation set up by the Elder Ge, so he did not dare rashly step in.    

    

His voice was like thunder, piercing through the clouds and into the mountain peak.    

    

Not long after the voice was heard, an elderly voice came from the clouds, "Come in."    

    

As the voice faded, the cloud churned, revealing a ten foot wide hole.    

    

Yang Xie did not hesitate as he stepped forward, and after he passed through the clouds, the clouds behind him tumbled again, closing up again, transforming into rolling white clouds that covered the mountain again.    

    

The moment Yang Xie entered the array, he immediately felt a very rich medicinal fragrance approaching him, startled him. Looking forward, he saw that the mountain was filled with all sorts of herbal medicine s, which seemed to cover the entire mountain, the herbs were swaying in the wind, and the dense medicinal fragrance filled the entire world.    

    

When he saw the herbal medicine s that filled the mountain, Yang Xie sucked in a cold breath. This mountain was thousands of meters tall, and the herbal medicine s on it were hard to count, and that was not even considering that. In the middle of all this, Yang Xie had seen some precious herbal medicine s, such as the 'Purple Thunder Flower' and the 'Sword Traversing Grass'.    

    

This level of herbal medicine was not even the most precious one among them. This mountain was not even considered a mountain, much less a medicinal garden or a huge medicinal garden!    

    

Just as Yang Xie was feeling shocked in his heart, an old man with messy hair walked out from inside a cave at the top of the mountain. After he looked at Yang Xie, he said impatiently, "Aren't you here to guard the furnace? "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get down."    

    

Hearing that, Yang Xie's body suddenly moved, he flew out from the air and arrived in front of the messy haired Old Man, cupping his hands and saluting: "Junior Nie Yong greets Senior Ge."    

    

At this time, the Old Man suddenly went forward and grabbed Yang Xie's arm. He pinched it, and his eyes lit up, using a gaze that caused Yang Xie's hair to stand on end, he looked at and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, you should be able to hold on much longer this time."    

    

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and called out to Yang Xie: "Come, follow me in."    

    

As he spoke, he walked in front.    

    

Yang Xie's heart jumped at the other party's strange gaze, and then heard the following words, his heart was perturbed, but since he was already here, there was no reason for him to retreat.    

    

Yang Xie followed behind the Old Man and into the cave.    

    

The moment Yang Xie entered the cave, he felt a gust of hot air blowing towards him. When he looked at the cave, he saw that it was completely red, like a hot lava wall. The interior of the cave was extremely simple, with only tables and chairs.    

    

The Old Man did not stop and led Yang Xie through a passage to arrive at the center of a secret chamber.    

    

He saw that this secret chamber was not large, and was only about a dozen or so feet in size. In the center of it, there was a several meters large pill furnace, and this pill furnace had three legs and two ears.    

    

At the moment, the pill furnace was burning fiercely, and there was a big hole at the bottom of the pill furnace, where flames were blazing. The temperature was so high that Yang Xie could feel his blood heat up from a few meters away.    

    

Yang Xie's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed, "Earth Vein Flame?!"    

    

This fire's temperature was extremely high, it could remove the impurities within the medicinal herbs and materials, and was the most suitable for refining smithing.    

    

"Eh? "You actually recognize this flame? Did you learn alchemy before?" Shock flashed past the eyes of the Old Man as he asked.    

    

"I have indeed trained with Pills, but only a few low level Pills were refined." Yang Xie replied. Naturally, he did not tell the truth, as did not know a thing about Pills.    

    

Of course, as to why he was able to recognize the Earth Vein Fire, it was naturally because the Daoist Huo Long had mentioned it before.    

    

"Yes, with your cultivation, the pill formula you can come in contact with is just a low level Pills. Although it is only a low level Pills, it has still been refined, and should still be able to be of some use." The Elder Ge muttered to himself. The appearance he displayed actually made Yang Xie feel a chill in his heart, though he did not know why. He had a faint feeling that this mission was not a good thing.    

    

At this time, the Elder Ge turned his head and spoke to Yang Xie: "Alright, I believe you already guessed that this is the place where This Old Man will refine pills. Now that This Old Man is refining a batch of Pills, there must be someone watching over the process. In the future, we will watch over the furnace everyday and during the daytime. If anything happens, This Old Man will naturally come over. "    

    

"Also, This Old Man has always been studying the pill formulas, so I don't have time to bother about you. Inside this array is a method to enter and exit, take a look and come in by yourself later." With that, the Elder Ge swung his hand and threw a jade chip over to Yang Xie. Then, he left the secret chamber with his messy hair.    

    

Yang Xie took the jade chip and looked at it blankly. He didn't react for a long time, and according to what he had done before, he already had a bad premonition that this mission was definitely not going to be simple.    

    

But looking at it now, this mission seemed to be very simple, wasn't it just guarding the pill furnace, could it be that there was some danger?    

    

Yang Xie's mind was filled with thoughts, he stared at the pill furnace in the middle and carefully examined it, but he did not find anything amiss.    

    

After looking for a while, Yang Xie decided not to think anymore. Since he had come, he had to complete the mission no matter what.    

    

At that moment, Yang Xie sat cross legged on the ground, and began to quietly watch over the furnace in the middle. The furnace was roasted by the vein of the earth, but it did not move at all.    

    

The Earth Vein's flames were extremely hot, it was enough to melt normal spirit weapon, even though Yang Xie's body was strong, if he stayed here for too long, he would have no choice but to circulate his Spirit Qi to defend against the scorching Qi.    

    

Time passed bit by bit and in the blink of an eye, half a day had already passed. The furnace, on the other hand, was safe and sound, without the slightest change.    

    

At this moment, Yang Xie couldn't help but to let his guard down, as he felt that the day would soon pass like this.    

    

However, just at this moment, the originally calm furnace began to tremble for some reason, the lid began to shake, and made "ding ding dang dang" sounds, as if it was going to explode.    

    

Seeing that, Yang Xie's face changed. From the looks of it, the pill furnace was about to fail, as if it wanted to explode from within.    

    

Yang Xie opened his mouth, just as he was about to call out to Elder Ge, there was a loud bang! With a "boom", the pill furnace in the middle suddenly exploded, and a strong wave of air blew up the sky with the pieces, shooting out in all directions.    

    

That piece of debris tore through the void, emitting a terrifying 'hiss' sound. One could imagine what would happen if one was struck by that piece of debris.    

    

"This is bad!" Yang Xie's face changed greatly. Without thinking, the Spirit Qi in his body started to circulate rapidly, condensing into a Spirit Qi light barrier around his body, at the same time, he roared out loud, his body suddenly expanded by a size, the veins on his body bulged, using his body as the second line of defense.    

    

Pah pah pah pah pah!    

    

The shards that filled the sky fell onto Yang Xie's protective light, after colliding until the light beam trembled violently, they finally lost all their strength and fell onto the ground, producing tinkling sounds.    

    

Yang Xie's shocked expression faded. Looking at the center, he saw that the originally huge furnace had now disappeared, leaving behind a pile of black ash and fragments on the ground. The fragments were naturally the furnace, and the black ash should be the Pills among the pill furnace.    

    

"Sigh, what a pity, this batch of Pills is about to succeed, why would it suddenly explode again. "Strange, what's wrong?" At this time, the initially closed secret chamber stone door suddenly opened, and the Elder Ge who had left earlier came back, staring at the pill furnace with a face filled with regret.    

    

Hearing this, Yang Xie's face became extremely ugly. From Elder Ge's words, it was obvious that the pill furnace had exploded twice, and at that moment, he finally understood the danger Hua Lao was talking about. Why would those people be unwilling to accept this mission? Why did Old Man say those words just now.    

    

Originally, they were all above the exploding pellet, although the exploding pellet's might was not fatal, it was still very difficult for cultivators to resist, and would inevitably suffer light injuries, and the higher cultivation ones were not willing to accept such a tedious quest, which was why no one had any interest in the mission.    

    

At the moment, Yang Xie did not know how long it would take for the Pills to explode, but when he thought about how frequent exploding pellet they were, Yang Xie could not help but laugh bitterly, and suddenly realized what kind of mission he had accepted.
