Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: Showing Off and Getting Struck by Lightning

After daybreak, a fierce dragon’s roar and tiger’s howl suddenly erupted from the secret room where Long Fei was located.

Outside, Murong Chong and others were meditating and resting; upon hearing this noise, they all opened their eyes and leapt up.

"Has the pill been successfully concocted?"

"It hasn’t even been a day yet!"

"Such a huge commotion!"

"What do you know, the bigger the noise, the better the quality of the pill."

"It is said that when Emperor Flame practiced alchemy in ancient times, the winds and clouds of heaven and earth changed color. After the pill was formed, there were myriad glows of dawn, and divine auspiciouness descended from the sky."

"Is it really that incredible?"

"..."

The group got excited, discussing among themselves with wide eyes staring at small ones.

Although they were inside and not outside, they already heard the loud cries of the cultivators outside.

At this moment, the cultivators outside were even more astonished, frightened by the extraordinary phenomenon in the sky.

Someone hurriedly came in to report to Ji Wanrong, "Princess, a divine sign has descended from the sky!"

The old man was nervous, his speech faltering.

Ji Wanrong and the others, surprised and not waiting for him to finish, went out of the cave to check.

The rising sun brought with it myriad glows of dawn.

A Dragon and Phoenix Mirage hovered and hummed above the secret room where Long Fei was practicing alchemy, resonating profoundly with the Dao’s sounds and shaking people to their cores.

Originally, the rock walls above the cave were smooth and the rocks exposed.

Now, various extraordinary flowers and herbs had sprung up, paired with the morning’s dawn light and Dragon and Phoenix Mirage, as if welcoming a True Immortal’s descent.

"The pill is formed, this is an Immortal Pill!"

Wang Dabao, the manager of the Divine Dragon Auction House, trembled with fat on his face and his eyes squinted into slits as he smiled.

He knew that this time, they had stumbled upon a treasure.

Regardless of whether or not this phenomenon was triggered by Long Fei’s pill, he had to hype it up like this; then the price of this pill would absolutely skyrocket.

With just the auction’s commission, their Divine Dragon Auction House could make a hefty sum.

Yan Ruyu stood behind him, similarly squinting her eyes, and immediately instructed her subordinates to go down to the mountain to spread the news.

Being very astute, she naturally guessed what Wang Dabao was thinking.

With the promotion by Divine Dragon Auction House, the news quickly spread throughout the mountain and beyond.

Someone exclaimed, "Consort Prince is so amazing, could he be a high-level alchemist?"

"Of course, look at which alchemist can conjure such world phenomena during alchemy! This pill is powerful, it even caused resonance with the Dao."

"Goodness, I heard today that Divine Dragon Auction House is auctioning just this thing; we must purchase this pill at all costs!"

"I’ve already notified the elder about this pill having remarkable effects; we must not miss out."

The gathered cultivators discussed fervently as they stared at the mirage; hearing Wang Dabao’s words, they couldn’t help but believe him somewhat.

A Wudang Elder stood out to refute loudly, "Everyone, do not believe or spread rumors, this mirage is merely the shadow left by a divine beast’s battle here long ago, and just happened to appear today; it was not triggered by alchemy."

His allies also followed with confident words, "Indeed, in nearly a hundred years, no pill alchemist’s alchemy session has ever induced such grand natural phenomena, let alone a novice alchemist."

"I don’t believe this phenomenon was triggered by alchemy."

A young disciple, under the instruction of his elder, directly soared into the air, drawing his longsword which flashed with a beam over ten meters long, aiming to shatter the phenomenon with one strike.

Fearing he would spoil things, Wang Dabao anxiously reminded from below, "You little rascal, come down quickly, the phenomenon is a manifestation of the Dao; if you provoke it, you might incur divine punishment."

"Who are you trying to scare!"

Stationed between the dragon and tiger phenomena, the young disciple acted as an instructor saying, "Everyone, please observe, this is merely a mirage similar to a mirage, not some alchemy-induced phenomenon. Please do not believe the rumors, lest you be deceived by swindlers later."

Wang Dabao’s stomach ballooned in anger, wishing he could slay the young man if not for the crowd.

Lin Shanshan and her group also had stern expressions, knowing their opponents had emerged to create trouble.

Just as they were about to teach the young man a lesson, suddenly there was a loud crack in the sky.

With a thunderous blast, a colossal bolt of lightning, resembling a longsword thousands of meters long, fell from the sky.

The young man holding the longsword in mid-air, who was slashing at the phenomenon, was suddenly struck and exploded into smithereens, dissipating into a puff of blue smoke.

"Holy crap!"

Wang Dabao was completely petrified, never expecting that the thing he casually concocted would actually come true.

The other cultivators also wore stunned expressions, some so frightened that they knelt down, repeatedly begging for divine mercy.

Lin Shanshan and others laughed heartily, "Serves you right, that’s what you get for acting tough."

"This is the Dharma Laksana, whoever interferes is opposing the Heavenly God!"

"This pill can move heaven; definitely an Immortal Pill. Everyone, better get your wallets ready!"

"..."

They laughed and shouted loudly to boost Long Fei’s morale.

"Qing Chen my disciple!"

Wudang Elder shouted softly, thinking someone was intentionally causing trouble. He stepped into the air himself and waved his hand to summon wind and clouds to cover up the anomaly.

He roared at the crowd, "Arrogant scoundrel, daring to kill a disciple of Mount Wudang. If you have the ability, do it again, I want to see what you are capable of!"

His beard trembled wildly, as if he had gone mad, shouting towards the sky, "There are no anomalies here, no heavenly punishment, all these are tricks played by people!"

A crowd watched the old man go mad; journalists from major newspapers even started recording him with Image Retention Stones.

Wudang’s genius, Lin Daoqi, clenched his fists tightly, released his Divine Sense to see who was secretly causing the mischief.

Wudang Elder yelled in the air, "Open your eyes and see! This anomaly is fake, there is no divine punishment, it’s all someone causing trouble in secret. Don’t fall for their tricks..."

Before he finished speaking, five bolts of thunder struck down from the sky simultaneously.

The Thunderbolt was swift, carrying a destructive aura.

The old man roared in anger, "If this is divine punishment, then I will compete against the divine."

He took out an Eight Trigrams Mirror and held it above his head, its body rotating, transforming into a Tai Chi Wheel surrounding him.

The thunderbolts were rapidly filtered by the Tai Chi Wheel, scattering around as it spun.

It was like a heavy rain hitting an umbrella, being quickly flicked away.

The crowd below watched in amazement, someone exclaimed, "Isn’t that the Qian Yuan Bagua Mirror, a treasure of Mount Mao?"

"Yes, it’s rumored to have been refined by Mount Mao Ancestor, a True Immortal Magic Treasure."

"Gosh, Mount Mao actually brought this thing here."

"Such majestic divine power, can even heaven’s punishment not subdue it?"

"What heavenly punishment, this is clearly someone messing around!"

Lin Daoqi shouted loudly, trying to correct everyone’s impression.

Although he couldn’t detect who was casting the thunder and lightning, he insisted that it was man-made rather than heavenly punishment.

The thunderbolt continued, like a waterfall pouring directly down, entangled with the Qian Yuan Bagua Mirror for a while.

Inside the cave, Chu Feng took out a golden crystal and handed it to Long Fei, saying, "Use it now! This thing has been kept on you for long enough."

Long Fei took it, raised his hand and flung it out.

Of course, there were no heavenly punishments or divine miracles. It was just Long Fei and Chu Feng messing around in the cave, trying to make this Pill more famous.

Only by doing so could they sell it for a good price.

This golden crystal was none other than the Celestial Realms Thunderbolt Pearl, refined by the ancestor of the Chu Family.

This Thunderbolt Pearl wasn’t ordinary at all; it was the essence of thunder from the nine heavens, the essence of thunder itself.

Long Fei flung this thing out, operating it through Spatial Law.

However, he didn’t act immediately but temporarily withdrew the heavenly Five Thunders.

Mount Mao Elder laughed heartily to the sky, "Where is the thunder? Where are the divine signs? Where is the heavenly punishment? Who is messing around in secret? Dare to step out if you have the courage!"

Operating an Immortal Artifact is no child’s play; it requires a tremendous amount of spiritual power.

Mount Mao Elder temporarily stopped the operation of the Qian Yuan Bagua Mirror, and the surrounding Tai Chi Wheels also disappeared.

Lin Daoqi yelled proudly, "See? This is clearly caused by people, all the heavenly punishments are fake."

The crowd discussed among themselves, uncertain of the truth.

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion stunned the area.

A bolt of lightning exploded next to Mount Mao Elder without warning, without even the gathering of clouds in the sky, a bolt of lightning exploded out of nowhere.

Golden light flashed brilliantly, making everyone squint their eyes.

Boom, boom, boom!

A destructive aura burst forth, as if thousands of golden blades fearfully exploded, sweeping across Mount Mao Elder’s entire body. Before he could react, his flesh was torn into shreds by the lightning.

His spiritual power surged, hastily using the Qian Yuan Bagua Mirror to protect his Nascent Soul, and then escaping from within the thunderbolts.

"See that? Showing off and getting struck by lightning!"

"Old man, show some guts, don’t run away!"

Ji Wanyu and Lin Shanshan clapped their hands happily, smiles blooming on their faces.

Wang Xiaoya and Ji Wanrong exchanged smiles, initially thinking that all this was caused by Long Fei.

But now, it seems not quite so.

The Dragon and Phoenix Mirage disappeared, and the sound of the Pills in the secret room disappeared along with it.

Long Fei and Chu Feng then came out of seclusion, and met extensively with the many perplexed cultivators outside.
