Silence! Absolute silence!

Everyone beside the Elixir Immortal Pool held their breath, their eyes fixed on the figure within it.

The Elixir Immortal Pool had now completely calmed, and Wu Yun sat cross-legged atop the water.

Before him was an incomparably dense, solidified mass of Yin Yang Qi.

The two streams of Qi spun madly, forming a vortex shaped like a Yin Yang Taiji Sphere.

The vortex grew smaller and smaller until it finally condensed into a perfectly round, thumb-sized Origin Pill.

At that moment, every gaze was fixed on that Origin Pill, wanting to see its appearance clearly.

What would an Origin Pill formed amid such a huge commotion be like? Could it reach the Nine-Star level?

Yet no matter how widely they opened their eyes, Wu Yun's Origin Pill remained a pure silvery white. Not even a single differently colored Star Marking could be seen on it.

"How can there be no Star Markings? What's going on?"

"Impossible. Even the worst Origin Pill has one Star Marking."

"Could it be all thunder and no rain?"

Everyone was in disarray, unable to believe their eyes. Their anticipation from moments ago instantly crashed to the bottom.

"It isn't that there are none. It's that it's covered in them!"

Xia Wanjin smacked his lips, swallowed hard, and exclaimed in shock.

"Covered in them? Covered in what?"

A steward asked incredulously.

"Star Markings. It's covered in Star Markings. Big Brother's Origin Pill is covered in Star Markings, which is why it looks like a single color. It isn't the pure white of an ordinary Origin Pill, but a silvery glow like the stars in the night sky!"

Lin Dong muttered. With his Purple Demon Eye, he saw more clearly than anyone else.

This could no longer be called an Origin Pill!

It was something beyond a Nine-Star Core Pill! A Silver Pill?

No, it should be called a Star Pill!

Once they understood, everyone smacked their lips. Their horizons had truly been broadened, and they looked at Wu Yun as though he were a monster.

Other people's Star Markings could be counted on one hand, while his were too numerous to count.

What was a gap in talent?

This was what a fucking gap in talent looked like!

Wu Yun opened his mouth, and the Origin Pill flew up and entered it.

The Origin Pill descended into his Dantian! All the Primal Force in his body converged within him, becoming incomparably condensed and many times stronger than before.

Previously, the yin and yang Primal Forces each went their separate ways. Now, yin and yang had fused, and the icy blue and crimson Primal Force had become violet-gold.

Wu Yun felt stronger than ever. Against someone like Wei Tong from before, he could now kill one with a single punch.

Rising to his feet, Wu Yun walked out of the Elixir Immortal Pool.

Xia Wanjin stared blankly at Wu Yun as he emerged. Although there was no Primal Force fluctuation around him now, Xia Wanjin sensed a dangerous Aura from Wu Yun. Even his own Aura could not affect Wu Yun in the slightest. Wu Yun's strength might already be no weaker than his! "Hehe, Little Yun, you two brothers took all the benefits this time, especially you. Look, the three of them have all turned into bitter gourds!"

Xuan Su swayed her slender waist as she gracefully walked toward Wu Yun, smiling as she spoke.

Wu Yun looked toward Xia Zhilan and the other two. Sure enough, all three wore bitter expressions.

Xia Zhilan in particular had her little mouth pouted!

They had looked forward to the Elixir Immortal Pool for so long, but after arriving, they had barely taken two mouthfuls before Wu Yun and Lin Dong forcefully snatched away all the food. In the end, not even the broth was left.

"Sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this either. My appetite was too big, and I lost control for a moment!" Wu Yun scratched his head apologetically.

Xia Zhilan: "Whatever. This young lady isn't lacking in such a tiny bit of energy from the Elixir Immortal Pool!"

Liu Yi: "Offering Elder Wu is too polite. Everyone absorbs according to their own ability. We simply weren't skilled enough!"

Xia Shi: "It is my honor to bathe with a genius like Offering Elder Wu!"

Though they had gained no benefit, the three of them remained extremely friendly.

Seeing the commotion Wu Yun had caused just now, they knew he was bound for greatness. Unless someone was an idiot, they would know not to offend Wu Yun at a time like this.

"This Elixir Immortal Pool probably can't be used again for the next ten years!" Xia Wanjin sighed.

Normally, after the energy on the surface of the Elixir Immortal Pool was depleted, it would accumulate enough Yin Yang Qi again in three years.

But this time, Wu Yun had nearly sucked the entire Elixir Immortal Pool dry from top to bottom.

"President, I'm sorry. Consider this as me owing the Trading Association a favor!"

Wu Yun cupped his fists.

"You're being too formal. What favor? You're an Offering Elder of our Trading Association. Our own people using our own things is only natural!" Xia Wanjin joked, inwardly very satisfied with Wu Yun's politeness. What he wanted was for Wu Yun to remember this favor!

"Alright, let's head back!"

The group began walking back. They were in the middle of the mountain forest, and still had some distance to travel.

Wu Yun said, "Second Brother, I owe this breakthrough to you!"

Lin Dong smiled knowingly. "Big Brother, you said it yourself. There's no need for us brothers to keep such careful account."

He then sent a Mental Sound Transmission. "This time, I obtained three Yin Yang Pearls beneath the Elixir Immortal Pool. I used one for Big Brother just now, kept one for myself, and there's one left. Big Brother, how do you think we should use it?"

Lin Dong did not conceal the Yin Yang Pearls and told him everything. Not telling Big Brother about the Heavenly Demon Mink had already filled him with guilt. Now, he gave Big Brother the right to decide who received the final Yin Yang Pearl, hoping to make up for that guilt.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon Mink was too afraid of Big Brother. Lin Dong could not be sure whether Big Brother would really eat the Heavenly Demon Mink if he found out.

He still planned to get some benefits from this Heavenly Demon Mink, so he could only handle things this way.

Wu Yun actually understood everything perfectly well, but he chose to continue his acting career. He saw through it but did not expose it, putting his all into the performance he was supposed to cooperate with and not testing Lin Dong.

"Yin Yang Pearls are so precious. To every person at the late Heavenly Origin Stage, they are priceless treasures. They must be given to those closest to us. You and I each have one, so give the remaining one to your father!" Wu Yun said sincerely.

"This... thank you, Big Brother." Lin Dong was too moved to put it into words.

His father's crippling had been the pain in his heart ever since childhood. He had cultivated so diligently in order to defeat Lin Langtian, the one who had crippled his father! More than anyone, Lin Dong wished for his father to rise again and pursue the martial path once more.

He had originally intended to give the third Yin Yang Pearl to his father. If Wu Yun had just wanted to give it to someone else, he would not have complained, but he might have kept his own pearl for his father.

Big Brother is always thinking of me. Should I really keep the Heavenly Demon Mink's existence from him...? Lin Dong felt his conscience condemning him, leaving him deeply conflicted.

Wu Yun actually had his own selfish motives as well. He had considered giving the Yin Yang Pearl to Bai Yun.

After all, Bai Yun loved this kind of pure energy the most.

But he still chose to fulfill Lin Dong's wish.

He understood Lin Dong better than anyone else in this world. There was no second person.

As for Bai Yun, she had a great appetite and could Devour any spiritual medicine. It was not as though she absolutely needed a Yin Yang Pearl.

This time, the two took another step forward on the path of being best bros.

The group walked out of the mountain forest and had just reached the gates of Flame City.

There, they saw the banner of the Blood Wolf Gang fluttering in the air.

Yue Shan and his men had blocked the road.

It seemed they had been waiting for them to emerge.

Only after Yue Shan left did he receive the news that the Blood Garment Sect had been wiped out. The Chief and Deputy Sect Leaders, along with all their upper ranks and elite disciples, had all died in the obscure Qingyang Town.

And the culprits were none other than Wu Yun and Lin Dong, who had competed with them for the Elixir Immortal Pool today.

Yue Shan had already been furious over losing the Elixir Immortal Pool and had been worrying over having no excuse to kill Wu Yun. Now that he learned Wu Yun had destroyed the Blood Garment Sect, he was shocked, but he had also found a reason to kill! Wu Yun was so young, yet he could kill Wei Tong. His potential was terrifying enough to make even Yue Shan feel threatened.

Therefore, he absolutely could not be allowed to live!!!

Yue Shan shouted, "Wu Yun, you killed the Chief and Deputy Sect Leaders of the Blood Garment Sect under my Blood Wolf Gang. Today, you will pay with your life!"

Please vote, brothers!!!

Can't you hear the call for votes deep in my heart?

Wah wah, wah wah, wah wah wah...
