Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 154: Chapter 131: Nine-Turn Pain Relief Pill

This was the second time Han Yu saw Wang Xiao’Er.

When Han Yu came out looking for a big fool, he saw him coming from the city, heading eastward.

His eyes remained clear, and even though his coarse linen clothes were full of patches, he still kept himself very clean.

Is he trying to register in the east of the city again?

I’ve never seen such a stubborn person before, even the hundreds of people from the Star Sect might not compare.

Suddenly, Han Yu was filled with curiosity and couldn’t help but follow.

As he walked through the crowd, Wang Xiao’Er felt quite uneasy. He had already gone to the previous civilian recruitment several times, and it seemed like he had become a familiar face yesterday. Today, he wondered if he would be thrown out of the east of the city before he even got in.

Indeed, it was just as he thought. In an open space in the east of the city, a tent was set up with a row of Palace Guards responsible for registration beneath it, and a long line had already formed when he arrived.

He had just joined the end of the line for a moment when a Palace Guard maintaining order pulled him out.

”I have to say, young brother, I truly admire your perseverance, but please don’t cause trouble today.”

The Palace Guard was really troubled upon seeing Wang Xiao’Er, though it wasn’t as if he was truly causing trouble. He always followed the rules and procedures, never making a fuss.

But couldn’t he at least cultivate before coming? His colleagues mentioned this person, who couldn’t even reach the basic Four Spirits Talent; his meridians would interrupt the flow of True Essence.

Isn’t this just an ordinary person as decreed by fate!

Wang Xiao’Er truly wanted to try again, but the Palace Guard was resolute. It was said that the colleague who carelessly let him in on the city’s west side yesterday was scolded terribly afterward.

If he let someone in today, he might not just get scolded but beaten.

”I heard there will be another recruitment soon, so I’ll come back then.”

Wang Xiao’Er sighed helplessly.

The Palace Guard’s face darkened; he really was unyielding. Even on the day he returns, he still won’t be allowed in.

Their conversation wasn’t hidden, so Han Yu heard everything clearly, and even the Artifact Spirit found it quite curious.

”This person is quite interesting.”

More than just interesting, he was an extraordinary person.

Han Yu was always drawn to those clear eyes. He had never seen such pure eyes, not even among cultivators.

Wang Xiao’Er didn’t stay any longer; since the Palace Guard clarified he couldn’t get in today, he left decisively.

”Is this bastard toying with us?”

In the bustling crowd, two people spoke quietly, their heads slightly lowered.

They had been tailing Han Yu since he came out, ending up in the eastern city to watch the commotion.

What’s there to see? Coming from sects, the sect assessments were far more interesting than this.

They somewhat scorned this recruitment-like selection process; finding some decent candidates would indeed be a stroke of luck.

Before they could finish complaining, Han Yu ran off again, making them grind their teeth in anger.

”Should we just make a move already?”

Yankong spoke immediately.

Yan Bing shook his head, then rolled his eyes at him with disdain.

”Didn’t you notice this area is under the protection of the Imperial Court’s own cultivators!”

So what?

So what? It means this place is important to the Imperial Court, not trusting other cultivators to guard it.

”Haven’t you noticed how different it is here compared to other State Prefectures?”

Yan Bing, being meticulous, noticed the differences upon entering the city. The order here was significantly better than that in other State Prefectures.

Each cultivator entered and left obediently.

As a crucial hub adjacent to multiple State Prefectures, cultivators came and went in large numbers daily. Yet the order remained intact, indicating that the Imperial Court had its means to make rule-breakers conform.

”Understand now? Suffice it to say, the guardians here won’t be simple.”

Starting a commotion within the city could lead to a relentless attack from the Imperial Court cultivators.

After finishing, Yan Bing cast him a contemptuous glance, thinking, when sparring with me, you scheme, but otherwise, you don’t use your brain at all?

”Should we keep following?”

Yankong pondered for a moment before asking.

”Yes, he’ll have to leave the city, and with a Dragon Blood Stone in hand, he can’t stay here forever.”

Yan Bing spoke with certainty, but the next moment realized they had lost sight of Han Yu while whispering.

Damn!

Focused on enlightening the bald fool, they lost track of him...

——

”You say I’m out here flaunting myself like this, are those guys really blind? They can’t even see someone as big as me.”

Han Yu watched the excitement, wandered around the city for a while longer, and still couldn’t see any trace of the Flower Monk and the others, which made him frustrated.

These top-quality Pills were just what these few talents needed, but now the people were gone. Is it that damned luck acting up again?

”Why don’t you find a conspicuous spot so that they can see you better?”

Glass suggested in his Sea of Consciousness.

Hearing this, Han Yu looked up at the tea house beside him. The spot on the second floor by the railing couldn’t be more noticeable. With this in mind, he casually walked in.

Yan Bing and Yankong hurriedly walked past the entrance of the tea house, their faces extremely unpleasant.

Unwilling to cause a commotion in the city, he couldn’t brazenly use Magic to chase, having come all this way without even catching a glimpse of anyone. Damn it, it was infuriating!

”Let’s split up. You go to the west side of the city, I’ll go to the south side.”

Yan Bing said through clenched teeth, and with that, the two figures immediately split up, heading in different directions.

Han Yu sat at a table outside by the street, sitting down boldly and immediately looking down at the bustling crowd below.

They should be able to see me like this!

”Sir, our shop is about to close. Would you mind moving elsewhere?”

When the waiter cautiously stepped forward and spoke, it was already 7:00 PM. Outside, the night had long fallen, and there were no longer any pedestrians downstairs.

Han Yu’s face turned extremely dark. These useless people, I’ve been sitting here drinking tea all day, and you still can’t find me.

Seeing Han Yu’s expression, the waiter became even more fearful. This strange man sat in the tea house all day, and though the tea never ran out, the situation was frightening!

The shopkeeper considered calling the authorities several times, but since the customer neither caused trouble nor refused to pay, just being a bit strange, it didn’t seem appropriate to call the authorities.

And so it dragged on until now, with the shopkeeper persuading him to come and ask the man to leave.

When Han Yu returned to the inn, feeling uninterested, Yan Bing and Yankong, who were hiding in the dark, almost ground their back teeth to powder.

This bastard finally decided to show up. We’ve been running all over the city on two legs looking for you all day, and you can really hide!

”If these guys don’t show themselves soon, they’ll have no use left, and when the time comes, I’ll just eliminate them all.”

After getting into bed, Han Yu said angrily, and then he fell asleep.

In a house opposite the inn, it was surprisingly still brightly lit.

Inside the house, Yankong, with a cold face and angrily clenching his fists, spoke up.

”This guy, when we deal with him, remember not to let him die too easily, he’s too infuriating.”

”Break his legs first.”

Yan Bing, his face equally dark, responded.

In contrast, the neighboring house was terrifyingly quiet, completely dark, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

The Flower Monk and Liu Yaoyao were nervously pressed against the wall, carefully listening for any movement.

Just earlier, when the Flower Monk poked his head out to keep watch, two people stealthily approached and nearly scared him into wetting himself.

He immediately withdrew his head, hiding behind the gate, listening to the two planning to keep watch here, nearly making his heart jump out.

At that moment, after praying to every deity he could think of, not knowing which immortal intervened, Yan Bing chose the house next to theirs to lie in wait.

Even so, he was still scared to death. When he went back inside to tell Liu Yaoyao in a low voice, she almost screamed in fright.

Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time, or else just that one scream might have spelled the end for both of them.

What to do now?

All three parties are damn close together; the other two are fine, but the two of them are the weakest. They can’t take on either side.

If only they had chosen a more distant place, but now they’re stuck in the middle, and even running isn’t an option.

Liu Yaoyao thought anxiously, her face pale and weak.

The Flower Monk kept close to the wall, listening at the base of the wall.

Suddenly there was a thudding sound on the wall, as if someone on the other side was knocking.

Then came a discontented voice, faint and fleeting.

”This wall is so thin, I wonder if it’s soundproof...”

——

The next day.

A new Pill was spinning around in the Sea of Consciousness.

Nine-Turn Pain Relief Pill: Removes all pains in the world, isolating the user from any form of pain for one year. Side effect: Pain explodes nine times after a year.

And Han Yu looked peculiar. This... this painkiller seems somewhat unreliable.

If the pain accumulated over a year erupts nine times, would it not be painful enough to kill someone!

If the person taking it does something reckless again...
