Chapter 490: Two Beauties Invite, Hard to Refuse!
"Until the Pill Gathering begins, you are all forbidden from leaving Pill Tower, no matter what you do. That includes you too, Song Qing!"
Xuan Kong Zi glanced at everyone, his expression serious, then turned his gaze specifically to Song Qing.
Song Qing: o(╥﹏╥)o
Wait… was my presence that insignificant?
Did he really need to single me out?
Was he afraid his self esteem would be hurt?
Ah… truly worthy of the Pill Tower's leader, Xuan Kong Zi!
"That's all there is to say for now. Your only task is to wait for the Pill Gathering to begin."
Ignoring Song Qing's expression, Xuan Kong Zi smiled warmly and took out a ring, handing it to Wu Tian.
"Inside, you'll find something of interest. While the Soul Hand Seal isn't particularly high level, it should help pass the time over the next few days."
"..."
Soul Hand Seal… not high level?
Then why had none of them mastered it yet?
If even they couldn't grasp it, did that make them even worse?
Wu Tian, however, knew that the ring contained more than just soul techniques. It also held other soul skills and more importantly, the Eight Tier Nourishment Pill formula he had been longing for!
For him, this was far more valuable than even the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
After all, his long silent system had remained inactive because this mission was incomplete.
With just one Eight Tier Nourishment Pill, he would receive a Super Divine Nourishment Pill!
Having secured the formula, Wu Tian was eager to examine it. But with so many people around, he had to wait for the right moment.
Taking the ring, Wu Tian didn't hesitate to store it away before clasping his fists. "Thank you, Elder Xuan!"
"Haha, it's nothing!"
Xuan Kong Zi smiled helplessly.
You're thanking me? If you gave me something like that, I'd be thanking you instead.
You came here to take my Three Thousand Burning Flame, yet I still had to give you extra resources…
I feel just like Song Qing completely broken inside!
Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Song Qing, however, were all confused.
Soul techniques required a ring?
Could it be that there were other treasures inside?
So unfair!
Cao Ying and Dan Chen kept their thoughts to themselves, understanding there were things better left unknown.
But Song Qing's eyes flickered with an unreadable emotion as he quietly followed the others out of the hall.
Watching them leave, Xuan Kong Zi sighed.
"Sigh… it seems Pill Tower will have a lot to deal with. Let's hope this fool, Song Qing, doesn't do something reckless… I'd better "
Because of their arrival, Wu Tian's discussion with Xuan Kong Zi ended before it could even begin.
But that didn't matter.
Wu Tian had come for the Eight Tier Pill formula. Everything else was just a side quest.
Now that he had it, he naturally wanted to study it.
However… with Cao Ying and Dan Chen sticking around, getting some quiet time was going to be impossible.
After leaving the hall, Wu Tian barely spoke to Cao Ying and Dan Chen. Instead, he headed straight for the lower levels.
Song Qing was following them, so there was no point talking with the two women not with a third wheel hanging around.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen watched Wu Tian's cold attitude and began overthinking.
Was he upset?
Had he seen them arriving with Song Qing and felt jealous?
After all, they had come with another man instead of seeking him out directly something no man would take lightly.
But in reality, they had come specifically to find Wu Tian.
Song Qing just shamelessly followed them.
Now this brazen fool was still trailing behind them.
Neither Cao Ying nor Dan Chen liked the situation, but as disciples of the Great Elder, they couldn't openly tell him to leave.
Moreover, since Song Qing was a fellow alchemy genius, his presence wasn't completely unwarranted.
The two exchanged a silent glance before Cao Ying stepped forward since Dan Chen wasn't the type to speak up, she had to be the one to act.
"Wu Tian, please wait!"
That soft, seductive voice rang out behind him, causing Wu Tian to pause and turn his head.
Looking at Cao Ying's enchanting face, he smiled faintly.
"What is it, Miss Cao Ying?"
"…"
Wait, had Wu Tian forgotten?
Didn't they agree to a deep discussion on soul techniques?
Cao Ying's alluring eyes shimmered with charm, her every movement effortlessly seductive.
Behind her, Song Qing stared in a daze, his mind already fantasizing about an intimate scene with her.
Too bad.
That seductive expression wasn't for him it was directed at another man.
Cao Ying gently covered her red lips and laughed. "The last time we met, we didn't have much time to discuss soul techniques. Since we have free time now, would you care to sit and chat?"
"Of course! Dan Chen is also very eager to explore the mysteries of soul techniques with you."
Seeing Cao Ying's invitation and the expectant gaze in Dan Chen's eyes, Wu Tian smiled.
When two beautiful women invite you, only a fool would refuse.
As for Song Qing, whose eyes burned with jealousy, Wu Tian barely acknowledged him he was as insignificant as a fart.
A little nobody like Song Qing wasn't even worth noticing.
If this fool dared to act out, Wu Tian wouldn't mind turning him into a half human, half demon creature, unfit to exist in Pill Tower.
Wu Tian's smile deepened. "Since Miss Cao Ying and Miss Dan Chen are so enthusiastic, how could I refuse?"
At this moment, Wu Tian exuded a natural, effortless charisma.
If his previous aura had been one of divine nobility, then now, his presence was akin to a graceful celestial being a refined yet unshakable aura.
This unique blend of elegance and dominance made him irresistible to women.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen, as alchemy prodigies with strong soul power, should have been immune to such attraction.
Yet…
Some things were beyond logic this was instinctual.
Especially when faced with a man who could command their admiration, their hearts naturally stirred.
Song Qing, though handsome, was weaker than them in both alchemy and strength.
To a high level genius, admiration only formed when someone stronger than them appeared.
Only then would they truly see a person in a different light.
And when they did…
The final step was just a matter of time.
"Since Brother Wu Tian has accepted our invitation, why not also complete the alchemy discussion we started last time?"
Song Qing's eyes narrowed as he smiled faintly from behind.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen's expressions immediately darkened with annoyance…
