Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1404 Ximen Clan (1)



The flame around Yun Lintian grew stronger as time passed, and he continued to shake the cauldron as if nothing had happened.

When the room was filled with the medicinal scent, Yun Lintian quickly threw the Thunder Fruit into the cauldron before performing a set of complicated hand seals.

Rumble—

All of a sudden, black clouds gathered above the Ximen Clan manor, accompanied by thunder roarings. This phenomenon immediately alarmed everyone nearby.

Ximen Wu was shocked and quickly said. “Uncle Hei!”

The old man, Uncle Hei, released his aura to cover the building, trying to protect Yun Lintian.

“No need. The Rising Thunder Pill needed to be bathed in thunder.” Yun Lintian’s voice suddenly resounded, and Uncle Hei quickly retracted his aura.

Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further. He quickly created a lightning barrier around Ning Yue for her safety.

Boom!

In that instant, a thick thunderbolt suddenly struck down Yun Lintian and the cauldron.

Ximen Wu’s face changed drastically as he perceived the strength of the thunderbolt. Even he, who was already at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, didn’t think he could survive under it… What about Yun Lintian, then?

“Uncle Hei!” Ximen Wu shouted and rushed toward Yun Lintian. No matter what, he must pull Yun Lintian out.

“He’s fine.” Uncle Hei released his aura to stop Ximen Wu from approaching Yun Lintian. “Looks like his affinity with the lightning element is on par with the fire element… Second, Young Master, you shouldn’t make an enemy out of him.”

Hearing this, Ximen Wu calmed down. “Don’t worry. I’m not stupid like Ye Jingran. A person like him can only be a friend, not an enemy.”

At first, Ximen Wu thought Yun Lintian was, at most, an exceptional alchemist, but it was different now. Yun Lintian’s talent seemed to be better than the current Crown Prince Zhou, meaning he would likely come from a higher place.

The Ximen Clan might be powerful among the leading forces in the Heavenhold Realm. They were, in fact, no different from an ant in front of those upper realm’s forces.

At the same time, Ximen Wu couldn’t help feeling fortunate to meet Yun Lintian. If Yun Lintian could refine the Rising Thunder Pill, it was definitely a great blessing for his clan.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderbolts continued to strike down one after the other, and Yun Lintian didn’t budge an inch.

Ten minutes later, Yun Lintian slapped the cauldron, and the flame gradually receded, as well as the black clouds in the sky.

Yun Lintian slowly retracted his hand from the cauldron and opened the lid.

Zzzii—

Countless thunder sparks immediately jumped out of the cauldron the moment he opened the lid. With a slap from Yun Lintian, the thunder sparks immediately dispersed, leaving ten bright yellow pills at the bottom of the cauldron.

Yun Lintian waved his hand and put all ten pills into the jade box that used to contain the Thunder Fruit.

Yun Lintian then dispersed the barrier around Ning Yue and turned to Ximen Wu. “It’s done.”

As he spoke, he stuffed the jade box into Ximen Wu’s hand.

Ximen Wu subconsciously grabbed the box and opened it. His eyes widened in disbelief as he uttered. “The best-graded Rising Thunder Pill? All of them… This…”

In the dark, Uncle Hei also looked at the pills in astonishment. The Rising Thunder Pill was one of the most difficult pills to refine. Even President Zhi of the Divine Alchemy Association would find it hard to refine a low-graded one.

However, Yun Lintian could refine it easily and even come out with the best quality. It meant this wasn’t his limit. He could definitely refine a higher rank pill.

Such a powerful alchemist. Uncle Hei didn’t think there was anyone like him in the entire Heavenhold Realm.

“I have caused quite a commotion.” Yun Lintian said, trying to remind Ximen Wu that a lot of people were heading here right now.

Ximen Wu came back to his sense and quickly said. “Please go back to take a rest first. I’ll find you another time.”

Yun Lintian nodded and walked toward the courtyard with Ning Yue.

Ximen Wu put the jade box away and took a deep break before walking out of the room.

At this moment, several people had already arrived at the scene. Among them was a middle-aged man who resembled Ximen Wu. He was the First Elder of the Ximen Clan, Ximen Wu’s uncle, Ximen Jue.

“What’s going on here?” Ximen Jue looked at the broken roof with a frown.

Ximen Wu replied calmly. “It’s nothing. I’ve invited an alchemist over to refine a pill.” 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“An alchemist? Refine a pill? What pill?” Ximen Jue looked at his second nephew strangely.

Ximen Wu glanced at the guards behind and let them disperse before showing the Rising Thunder Pill to Ximen Jue.

Ximen Jue’s pupils shrank in shock upon seeing the pills. He couldn’t help asking. “Where did you find such a powerful alchemist? No, where is he now? I want to see him.”

Ximen Wu quickly stopped his uncle. “Let him rest first. I’ll slowly tell you about it.”

Ximen Jue immediately calmed down. “Alright. We should go to your father.”

Ximen Wu frowned slightly. He didn’t want to see his old man, but he didn’t seem to have a choice here. In the end, he could only follow Ximen Jue out.

Inside the living room, Yun Lintian retracted his Divine Sense and took a sip of tea leisurely.

Sitting opposite him, Ning Yue hesitated for a while and didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Yun Lintian smiled and said. “You want to ask why I chose to help him, right?”

Ning Yue nodded heavily.

Yun Lintian put the teacup down and said slowly. “You cannot live in this world alone. Even an emperor needs servants to take care of him. A merchant also needs a customer to buy his goods… We are the same.”

He took a sip of tea and said further. “The relationship between Ximen Wu and I can be described as a benefit exchange. I offered him the pills for his influence. Especially in a big city like this, having a local snake as your backer helps a lot.”

Ning Yue immediately understood. She always believed that Yun Lintian was strong and didn’t need to rely on anyone.

It was as if he saw through her thought. Yun Lintian smiled and said. “Silly girl. Even the Heavenhold Realm King still needed her people to work for her. Who am I?”
