C347 Exchange Pellet
To Zhou Yi, refining pills was a piece of cake.
Although his cultivation was currently low, it was fortunate that the unique attributes of the Myriad Beasts Cauldron allowed him to save quite a bit of time in refining the pellet.
However, just as he was refining the pill, the outside of the villa was once again bustling with activity.
Those people came back to their homes to get the treasures. They rushed back excitedly and ran towards Zhou Yi's house.
However, after running for some time, he found a strange problem. He seemed to have walked a long way, but why was he still so far from the villa's door?
He was only a dozen steps away, why did he walk for nearly half an hour?
"I say, don't tell me we're trapped in some formation!" Liu Xiang of the Cloud Mountain Hall had a quick reaction. After walking for a while, he suddenly spoke.
An elder beside him also had a glint in his eyes when he heard this. "Hall Master's words are not true. We are indeed trapped in an illusory magic array!"
With that, the old man turned around and walked away.
Sure enough, he hadn't taken ten steps before he walked out of the illusion formation and returned to the starting point.
When the rest of them saw this, they helplessly shook their heads before withdrawing from the illusion array.
However, there was a person who was looking at the villa in the distance with some thoughts in his mind. He remained at his original spot and did not leave.
The two young and pretty girls couldn't help but stamp their feet as well. Their pretty faces turned red, "Come, Xue Er. I'm afraid we won't be able to see Mr. Zhou today."
"No, sister, I still want to see him!"
The two girls were not here to exchange for pills, they were here purely for Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's story had already spread across the Ancient Martial World. Of course, most people held envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Zhou Yi, but there were also some pretty female cultivators who looked at Zhou Yi in a different light.
Like the two sisters today, they originally wanted to get closer to Zhou Yi. Who would have thought they would be trapped outside the formation?
Before long, there was a lively scene in front of Zhou Yi's house. Zhou Yi naturally ignored it and focused on concocting his pills.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the villa.
Zhou Yi said without raising his head, "Come in, the door is unlocked!"
Since there was a protective array outside, there was no difference between locking the door and not locking the door. Besides, Wang Chuan had to come back after dealing with this matter.
Jiyaaa!
The door was gently pushed open, and a person walked in.
The moment this person stepped into the room, a cold light flashed. The person's pupils constricted, and he discovered that a sharp small sword was quietly floating around his neck.
"Who are you? How did you get in?" Zhou Yi looked up as he controlled the flames within the Cauldron.
The person hurriedly placed both hands on the back of his head, then anxiously said, "Sir, please don't be angry, I … I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to exchange for a life-saving pill!"
"Oh?" Zhou Yi's tone gradually relaxed, but that small sword still floated in that person's throat.
"Yes, yes, look if you don't believe me!" As he spoke, that person carefully removed the right hand from his head and retrieved an item from his bosom.
Zhou Yi squinted his eyes. He saw what seemed to be a book in the man's hand, so he said, "Give it to me!"
As he said that, the small sword flew back leisurely and floated on Zhou Yi's shoulder.
That person held the book with both hands and respectfully walked in front of Zhou Yi. Then, he bowed and raised it in front of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi took the book and realized it was a broken book. There was no cover on the book, as if the other part had been forcibly torn apart.
Then, Zhou Yi slowly opened the book...
The more Zhou Yi looked, the more he was shocked and the more he was excited. This thing seemed to be specifically made for Zhou Yi.
After a while, Zhou Yi closed the book and looked at the person who came.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was carefully sizing up a person who came down. He looked to be in his twenties at most, with messy hair and messy clothes. Although his appearance was not bad, the tiredness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Seeing Zhou Yi use his gaze to look at himself, that cultivator also slightly cautiously backed off, but Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I'm changing!"
"What?" Really? "Really?" That person didn't come back to his senses and couldn't help but to ask twice to confirm Zhou Yi's words.
"Yes, I'll be exchanging. In three days, come back for your pill. I'll make a life saving pill for you!" Zhou Yi smiled and repeated.
Unexpectedly, when the person heard this, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks and he kneeled down in front of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was so scared that he hurriedly stood up and helped him up. He said, "You don't need to do this. You and I were using each other to begin with. If you give me the Secret Skill and I give you the pellets, why would you kneel to me?"
"Thank you, mister!" However, the man still broke free of Zhou Yi's hands and gave him a 90-degree bow.
Boom! *
As soon as Zhou Yi reached out to help the man's hands, the door was pushed open.
Following that was a streak of azure-gray energy that struck the back of the man.
"Wang Chuan, stop!" Zhou Yi immediately shouted.
The boundless energy vanished into thin air less than 10 centimeters away from the man's back as his voice faded away.
Zhou Yi wiped off his cold sweat and asked, "Are you busy?"
The man shook his head. He first saluted Zhou Yi and then turned around. He saluted Wang Chuan again and walked out the door.
"Sir, who is he? How did he get into this villa?" Wang Chuan moved in a flash to Zhou Yi's side and asked.
"Someone who wanted to trade for a life saving pill, he gave me this!" Saying that, Zhou Yi handed the remnant scroll to Wang Chuan.
Wang Chuan took the remnant scroll and asked with a stupefied expression, "He wants to exchange this with you for a pill?"
Wang Chuan really couldn't tell what was good about it. If it was a book, then it was only half a book. If it was a secret manual, then there wasn't even a record about cultivation techniques on it.
Zhou Yi saw Wang Chuan's doubt. After taking the book, he smiled and said, "To me, this remnant scroll is undoubtedly not a pillow that I brought to me when I wanted to sleep. With it, I can temporarily avoid being probed by the Heavenly Dao."
Wang Chuan still didn't understand.
Of course he couldn't understand it, because how many people in this world were qualified to break through and ascend to the final destination?
This incomplete book should be an incomplete secret technique of the Celestial Realm. If he were to cultivate according to it, it wouldn't be difficult to avoid the heavens when his cultivation was complete.
That's why Zhou Yi agreed to the other party's conditions and exchanged a pill for it.
Unfortunately, there was only half a book here. However, Zhou Yi felt that since the other party could take out half a book, then even if he did not have the other half, he should at least know where it was.
Thinking about this, Zhou Yi turned his head and said, "Wang Chuan, go and help me check the background of this cultivator. It would be best if you could find out where he lives, I want to visit him myself!"
"This …" Wang Chuan wanted to reject the offer, but seeing that Zhou Yi's expression didn't seem like he was joking, he could only nod his head in the end and leave the mansion …0
