Chapter 1124 Spiritual Pill

Su Ping instantly released his senses, although prudently, to examine every part of the ancient

palace.

He applied the path of illusion to his senses to avoid exposure. He soon acquired a general sense of the ancient building’s layout; he didn’t spot other ferocious beasts on the pillars. They should have easily stood out if they were as big as the Ghost Lamp Nether Fish.

Su Ping was slightly relieved. He crawled on the heap of secret treasures and saw plenty of Star Lord treasures that had lost their light. They had probably fallen to that place from the ocean, just like his armor.

He kept his glove form as he moved on the top of the treasures. The palace stairs had also been filled; only their edges were exposed.

It’s a shame I can’t take any of these treasures out…

Su Ping felt regret as he crawled on the hill of treasures. He thought he was too unfortunate during the trial. At first, he encountered a lethal trap; then, he was unable to take away the treasures he saw.

Even his fate was unknown at the moment.

Fortunately, I’m not really desperate to win the legacy anyway. If others learn the truth though, they would surely be devastated…

The mouth on the back of the glove heaved a sigh.

Then, the glove quickly crawled onward.

The glove soon touched a jade box wrapped in layers of laws. Su Ping used the law of chaos to disable the original laws. Then, he flowed into the box.

His body could transform into anything, including water. Huh? A vial?

Once inside the box, he turned back into the glove form and opened a black vial. There was a seal on the vial, although it wasn’t really powerful. Even a normal Star Lord could have opened it with ease.

It was indeed a treasure left by a Celestial expert, but the latter probably didn’t expect that anyone would sneak in. Even the richest families would only use regular brooms. It would be stupid to show off their riches by describing how expensive their brooms were.

Certain things only needed to be good enough.

He opened the vial, and a fragrance wafted out.

Su Ping instantly felt that all his cells were activated; the exhaustion from fighting Lin Xiu for seven days seemed to have disappeared, which left him elated. Even though he couldn’t take the Ascendant treasures away, there were free medicines to be had; he could die with a full belly, and cause a loss to the malicious owner of that place.

One of the glove’s fingers grew and turned into a hand, which grabbed the vial and turned it upside down.

A childish voice shouted right then, “Don’t eat

me!”

“Huh?”

A fat kid the size of a fingernail rolled out of the vial. He looked like… a pill.

He had limbs, albeit really short.

Su Ping was rendered speechless.

He immediately thought of Green LadyBut then his eyes were quickly filled with an even greater passion. He was reluctant to eat his employee, but he wouldn’t hesitate to eat that fatty.

Furthermore, the pill was already able to adopt human form; it was evidently a high-quality

pill.

“Don’t eat me; I’m not delicious. I can help you find delicious pills for you. You’d die if you eat me anyway; I’m poison!” cried the fat kid, as if realizing what Su Ping was thinking.

Meanwhile, the little one rolled backwards, trying to keep a distance from Su Ping; however, his head bumped into one of the jade box’s sides.

“You smell so delicious. How could you be poisonous?” asked Su Ping.

“That’s exactly it. I smell delicious because I’m a poison; why else would anyone wish to eat me?” The fat kid tried to play cute.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. “The last person who talked to me in such a way is already dead. You’d better confess truthfully; if you don’t, I’ll eat half of you first and chew a bit of the rest every day!” “Whoa, you’re the devil!” shouted the fat kid, while trembling with fear; he was emitting even more of his pill fragrance.

Su Ping didn’t spare any courtesy as he simply grabbed the pill and chewed a bit with another finger he had repurposed as a mouth.

The fat kid begged for mercy. Given Su Ping’s lack of interest, he chose to confess a shocking secret. “Please don’t eat me. I’ll take you to where you can find and eat delicious stuff. There are a lot of medicines that are more valuable than me. I also know how to leave this

place!”

Su Ping instantly stopped; the information definitely intrigued him.

He was tempted, knowing that the kid could be lying

“You know how to get out of here?” asked Su Ping gravely, “Do you even know where you are? How can you possibly know how to get out of here? On the other hand… Do you know who I am?”

The fat kid was stunned. “Who are you?”

“I came at the behest of my master to examine the place. Who do you think I am? I didn’t expect that you, a tiny pill, would know how to escape. Looks like throwing you into the furnace for refinement is the best option!” said Su Ping coldly.

He simply pretended to be one of the palace owner’s disciples.

“That’s impossible. You’re just a poor man who was duped and fell to this place by chance. You’ve seen that ferocious fish, right? You weren’t eaten, and actually allowed you to enter this place? Aha, it must have been sleeping. But you can’t fool me; there were other unlucky ones who fell here. Even their bodies are still around!”

The fat kid saw through Su Ping’s lie; he wasn’t the least bit convinced.

“You called my master’s pet a ferocious fish? The Ghost Lamp Nether Fish? I’m going to have it eat you soon!” said Su Ping in a reprimanding tone. The fat kid was shocked and suspicious; he didn’t expect that Su Ping would know the fish.

He could tell that the latter was far weaker than the Ghost Lamp Nether Fish; only the greatest geniuses that lived in his age could have recognized it; that age had long passed.

“Are you really…?” asked the fat kid with a mix of shock and suspicion.

Su Ping snorted and said, “Prepare to be refined. I’ll eat half of you and refine the rest for Senior Ghost Fish.”

The fat kid quickly begged, “Please don’t; I’m not delicious at all. I was in the wrong. A sister pill told me how to get out of here, but I never planned on leaving. I’ve always been loyal…”

Su Ping interrupted him and immediately asked, “Who exactly told you that?” The fat kid instantly replied, “It’s Sister Golden Lotus.”

Su Ping was stunned; the kid didn’t seem to be lying, but he wasn’t that easily convinced. He wasn’t even sure whether or not the fat kid had believed his made-up identity. Maybe, he was just pretending to be a fat kid, and he was actually a ferocious pill.

“Golden Lotus? I’ve never heard about her before. You’re lying!” Su Ping bluffed. The fat kid quickly said, “It’s very understandable. Your master prepared the pill for his return; how could he have told his disciples? Even the disciples he killed weren’t aware of that…”

Knowing he had misspoken, he quickly added, “Sister Golden Lotus is very strong, but her strength is restricted in this place. You may get her essence and become a king if you help her…”

“A Deity King?” Su Ping mumbled.

The fat kid nodded quickly. “That’s right.”

Su Ping was deep in thought. He remembered that his master had mentioned that the ancient palace belonged to a deity. Celestials were called Deity Kings back in the age of deities, and those with the Heaven State were Deity Emperors. The sister the kid had described seemed as effective as Green Lady…

Su Ping pondered for a long time, then looked at the fat kid and quickly took action.

The fat kid instantly shrieked with extreme fear.

But Su Ping showed no mercy this time, and bit part of it off.

The fat kid screamed in pain, and cried in fear, “Don’t eat me! I’m telling the truth! You’ll lose your cultivation if you eat me. I’m a reshaping pill.”
