Chapter 288: Chapter 191: The Location of the Immortality Pill

The Immortality Pill was human, and had already come into contact with the Lord Emperor decades ago, while the catalyst for the Longevity Pill was a severed arm of the Immortality Pill.

The mysterious veil of the Immortality Pill kept being unveiled, yet it remained shrouded in mist.

Gu Wen placed the White Feathered Bird on his hand and asked, "Xiao Bai, do you know where your main body is?"

"Chirp~"

The White Feathered Bird emitted a crisp cry, with sparse spirituality in its eyes.

Yu Hua had examined the White Feathered Bird, confirming that it was not a normal creature and its intelligence was about the same as an animal’s. Perhaps, only when Gu Wen had almost exhausted the medicinal properties of the Immortality Pill would it become a complete creature.

Just as the roots of the Immortality Pill at Heavenly Spring Mountain could merge with the sword scabbard to give birth to intelligence, this arm could also transform into a living being.

As a Divine Beast of the Hundred Phenomena, Ao Tang posed an interesting hypothesis. There was nothing wrong with the White Feathered Bird itself, because a perfect transformation was a one-to-one restoration.

The White Feathered Bird becoming a White Feathered Bird was perfect.

Gu Wen withdrew his gaze, seeing Yu Hua on the side deep in thought, silent for a long time before asking, "Any other findings?"

From a distance, Jun Yan and others began to approach. Yu Hua had just opened her mouth and silently closed it, transmitting a message, "I can no longer sense the location of the Immortality Pill, the aura previously in the Fire Cloud Cave originates from the White Feathered Bird on you, none of it was the main body."

Gu Wen’s eyes widened slightly, also transmitting his thoughts, "Then how do we continue to search for the Immortality Pill?"

The uniqueness of Yu Hua in the Immortal Land was her ability to sense the existence and strength of the Immortality Pill, both of which were unique. If the former failed, then nobody in the world could find the Immortality Pill.

"If the Immortality Pill could think like a person, it would have too many ways to avoid me."

Yu Hua shook her head, already considering retrieving the Longevity Pill.

If they could not resurrect her master, at least let Gu Wen achieve Dao Foundation Perfection of the nine levels, then it wouldn’t be a complete failure. Otherwise, there would be no need to compete for the Immortality Pill, and Yu Hua wouldn’t need to worry about overspending.

It would also be good to kill this old foe, to prevent future troubles for Gu Wen.

"Everything sensed before wasn’t the main body?"

Gu Wen frowned and further inquired, "What is the range of your detection for the Immortality Pill?"

"Beyond a hundred li, I can determine the direction; within a hundred li, not even traces can escape."

"Since the catalyst for the Emperor’s Alchemy is the Immortality Pill, have you sensed it?"

"No, maybe it’s been refined already."

Yu Hua replied, immediately noticing Gu Wen’s increasingly furrowed brow as if he had thought of something. The specific question about the Pill Furnace also made Yu Hua recollect carefully; she was no further than a hundred meters from the Pill Furnace, so there should be no mistake.

"Do you suspect that the Immortality Pill is inside the Pill Furnace?"

Gu Wen nodded slightly, saying, "But if the Lord Emperor truly possessed the Immortality Pill, why would he cooperate with the Daoist Sect and why chase us relentlessly?"

The logic didn’t add up; if the Emperor had really obtained the Immortality Pill, he would be hiding and waiting to become immortal.

In the next instant, both of them seemed to read each other’s minds and looked up at each other, eyes flickering with suspicion.

If Yu Hua couldn’t detect it, could the Lord Emperor?

An instantaneous flood of thoughts gushed forth like running water, and the phrase "darkness under the lamp" appeared in Gu Wen’s mind.

If the Lord Emperor and Yu Hua couldn’t discover it, was the Immortality Pill really just a part of it? Just like the White Feathered Bird in his arms, if part of the Immortality Pill could change its form, there’s no reason it couldn’t become something else.

The Immortality Pill could indeed be in the Pill Furnace!

Through Divine Skills, Yu Hua knew what Gu Wen was thinking, and her guess coincided with his and was even more detailed and clear.

Dark under the lamp, a fitting description.

Gu Wen said, ’The Immortality Pill might just be in the Pill Furnace.’

Yu Hua said, ’Then let’s return to Bianjing and find out with a check.’

Whether it was true or not, she had to make the trip, and even if their guess was wrong, they could still obtain the Longevity Pill.

"The way you look at each other over a corpse is quite unique."

Jun Yan, leading others, arrived from afar through the air; seeing the two gazing at each other across a corpse, he commented.

"How should the soldiers inside be dealt with? It’s perfect since they are unconscious due to the death of their command, just let me perform a blood sacrifice on all of them."

Gu Wen shook his head and refused, "I do not kill those who are not part of the battle."

"How are they not part of the battle? They were just part of the military force. Their rich blood, if made into Blood Burst Pearls, could unexpectedly kill a Venerable, and later used against the Lord Emperor or to slaughter troops."

Jun Yan’s Demon Path nature revealed, showing some coveting towards the soldiers within the camp.

These soldiers were not all ordinary people; to withstand the military force, more or less each had undergone basic training. Perhaps they only had a basic sensation of essence, barely absorbing the properties of Spiritual Medicine.

"No, don’t make me repeat myself."

Gu Wen shook his head slightly, a flicker of Sword Intent appearing in his eyes.

Jun Yan shrugged, not pursuing the matter further.

"You’ve changed."

They used to synchronize well, but now Gu Wen was becoming increasingly sharp and no longer as scheming. In the beginning, Gu Wen would humbly seek to learn Swordsmanship from anyone, not minding being rebuffed.

He was clearly a man who would use any means to achieve his ends.

Gu Wen ignored him, instructing, "Chi Yu Zi, go and notify the Nanchun Army for me, their current leader is Jiang Jucai, tell him to come and clean up."

The grey-haired girl nodded blankly, then turned into a golden light soaring into the sky.

A quarter of an hour later, she brought back a silver-armored general.

Jiang Jucai’s eyes widened, he fell weak in the knees and collapsed upon landing, then seeing Gu Wen as if receiving a pardon.

"Mr. Wen, it was your person who was sent."
