New Trouble

New Trouble

The next day.

After taking over one-third of the Medicine Gang's pill market, the Nine Heavens Pavilion found itself desperately short of disciples who were alchemists.

After all, Fa Wutian was currently the only alchemist in the Nine Heavens Pavilion!

Although his rank was not low, he could not possibly stay cooped up in the Nine Heavens Pavilion refining pills all the time, could he?

This would not only slow down his cultivation, but also leave the Nine Heavens Pavilion unable to meet its supply demands.

After all, he was only one person. How could he possibly refine so many low-grade pills in such a short time?

Therefore, he decided to recruit a group of alchemists to fill the Nine Heavens Pavilion's current gap.

However, most of the alchemists in the Inner Academy had already been recruited by the Medicine Gang.

He had no interest in the remaining rabble.

After all, they were all first-tier alchemists with little talent for pill refining.

If he simply accepted anyone now, he would only end up wasting his medicinal ingredients for nothing!

After all, first-tier pills simply could not be sold in the Inner Academy!

The Inner Academy students were all Dou Masters or above, and the pills they needed were at least second-tier.

Therefore, second- and third-tier pills were the main products of the pill market!

Thinking of this, Fa Wutian felt a headache coming on.

What should he do now?

He had the pill market now, but there was a problem with the alchemists needed to supply the pills!

The more Fa Wutian thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He could not help sighing. "If only I were still in the Gama Empire! Then I could use Grandfather's Alchemist Association to solve this problem!"

"Wait! The Alchemist Association? How could I have forgotten about that?"

During his year of wandering the Black-Corner Region, he had learned about all the major factions.

Yet among them, there was no Alchemist Association!

Because killing and robbery were commonplace in the Black-Corner Region. Alchemists despised the character of the people here, so they had never established an Alchemist Association in the Black-Corner Region.

That was why Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor, was so popular in the Black-Corner Region.

Of course, that also had much to do with his status as a sixth-tier alchemist!

Still, although alchemists disliked the Black-Corner Region's ways, some of them came here to sell pills!

The reason was simple: the Black-Corner Region was desperately short on pills! Selling pills here often earned them far more than they could elsewhere!

But accordingly, it was far more dangerous than other places!

After all, the Black-Corner Region had always been a place that devoured people without even spitting out their bones!

If he could gather together the scattered alchemists of the Black-Corner Region, would the Nine Heavens Pavilion's problem not be solved at once?

However, how to contact them became a problem.

After all, to ensure their own safety, they had all concealed their identities.

Moreover, he could not alert the various factions within the Black-Corner Region to this matter.

Otherwise, they might very well attack him directly!

After all, they feared another faction coming in to divide up the Black-Corner Region's pie!

After thinking for a while, Fa Wutian decided to find someone first.

After taking leave from Su Qian, Fa Wutian headed straight for the Black-Corner Region.

Black-Corner Region.

Fa Wutian found a sharp-faced man in a tavern.

The moment the man saw the figure before him wearing a Ghost-Shadow Mask, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Soul-Awl Killing God?!"

The instant the man spoke, everyone in the tavern fled without a trace.

A man's reputation was like a tree's shadow! The four words "Soul-Awl Killing God" had long spread throughout the entire Black-Corner Region.

Whether ordinary people or cultivators, anyone who heard those four words was terrified out of their wits!

And now, this legendary figure had actually come personally to this little tavern and was standing before them. How could they not be afraid?

For a moment, only Fa Wutian and the man remained in the tavern.

Seeing this, the man also wanted to flee, only to discover that Fa Wutian had firmly stepped on the hem of his trousers!

At that, he knew the other party would not let him go.

Looking at the man collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, Fa Wutian said in a muffled voice, "You are Monkey, the so-called know-it-all?"

Upon hearing this, Monkey immediately understood why the other party had come for him.

He carefully fawned, "This little one only has such minor skills. How would I dare show off before Lord Killing God? I merely make a living, that is all!"

"Enough! I came to you because I want to ask about something!"

"May I ask what you wish to know, my lord?"

"Alchemists. You have heard of them, right?"

"Yes. Which one are you looking for, my lord?"

"Which one?"

Fa Wutian sneered disdainfully and continued, "I want the whereabouts of every alchemist in the Black-Corner Region!"

Monkey was instantly pale with shock upon hearing that.

How had those alchemists provoked this Killing God? He actually wanted to slaughter them all!

But other people's business was none of his concern! Since they had caused the trouble themselves, they deserved to be hunted down!

As for concealing information for them? Sorry, he was not close to them!

After all, it was better for a fellow Daoist to die than for oneself to die!

Monkey then revealed every bit of information he had about the alchemists.

Fa Wutian immediately understood.

It turned out that all the alchemists were hiding in Peace Town!

Only when it was time to sell pills would they risk entering the Black-Corner Region.

No wonder they had been able to survive in the Black-Corner Region for so long. They were relying on Canaan Academy's protection!

However, that made things much easier.

After tossing down a bag of gold coins, Fa Wutian warned, "Remember, do not tell anyone about what just happened! Otherwise, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you!"

Hearing Fa Wutian's threatening words, Monkey hurriedly nodded.

Seeing him nod like a chicken pecking at grain, Fa Wutian nodded in satisfaction before turning and leaving.

Only after Fa Wutian had gone far away did Monkey climb up from the ground and wipe the cold sweat from his face.

He had truly taken a trip through the gates of hell just now! But the matter of the Soul-Awl Killing God wanting to kill all those alchemists was no small matter!

If he told the other factions about it, would he not be able to make another profit?

Thinking this, Monkey immediately tidied himself up and headed for Eight Gates.

The moment he arrived at the entrance of Eight Gates, Monkey impatiently asked the guards to report his message.

"Go get your sect master to see me! I have information about the Soul-Awl Killing God!"

However, what he did not know was that the instant he spoke the four words "Soul-Awl Killing God," the gold coins Fa Wutian had given him reacted in his pocket. They exploded on the spot, blasting him apart without leaving even a corpse behind!

This was actually Fa Wutian's backup plan.

After all, he knew full well that the people of the Black-Corner Region could never be trusted!

Therefore, when he left, he had already left behind a soul skill on the gold coins—Resounding Thunder!

If Monkey had not said the four words "Soul-Awl Killing God," the soul skill would not have activated. As a result, he would not have died!

But he had only himself to blame for being greedy and insisting on revealing Fa Wutian's whereabouts.

Thus came the scene just now!
