CHAPTER 32: PILL LORD'S SECT
Aeger and Jazmin quickly began to enter the sect, as everything was destroyed there was no place they could not visit.
However, Jazmin was the one who was worried, she knew that her sister was fierce and wouldn't listen to anyone, unless she was her teacher.
She kept Adrian's words in her head.
The deeper they went in, they could see how magnificent the pill lord's sect should have been.
More than a thousand pavilions, including the most prominent ones, were according to plant research, pills, new manufactures, exclusive pavilions for alchemy, and dozens of greenhouses for plant cultivation.
The number of disciples that should have existed in this place could have been counted in the thousands, in its heyday.
The further they went, there was suddenly a change in the air.
Rather, in the mist, which before could not pass through the talisman, suddenly began to break through its defense.
Aeger frowned slightly, as he tossed another talisman, pushing the purple mist aside.
But the farther they went, the thicker and more dangerous the fog became. An hour passed while they climbed a mountain, in this place the temperature increased precipitously, any mortal who approached, would burn before reaching the end.
"We are reaching the core of the sect" – Aeger said, while looking at the top, in order for an alchemist to make pills he needs fire, many used fireworks, others specialized in techniques to increase the temperature.
But some used a natural fire vein, this mountain seemed to be a fiery volcano, but it wasn't, at the top was the pill lord's pavilion.
Who to make pills used both his strength, technique, and natural vein, increasing his flame in a resounding way.
It was said that the fire it created did not seem of this world, even many in the supreme continent feared it for this reason.
Even after his death, many alchemists wanted to use the natural vein for their own pills, but they realized that they couldn't control it, even the elders of the supreme continent who came in person, could only sigh in grief and return without any progress.
The natural vein had a very strong energy, as well as being destructive.
When Aeger and Jazmin reached the top, they were able to see it in person.
The mountain was kept in its natural state, with a green color due to its plants and trees.
But at its top, a lava lake could be seen with the naked eye.
"Is this the natural vein?" – Jazmin asked, this was too terrifying, the amount of energy that this place gave off, it could even kill her with one blow.
But the most terrifying thing was what was seen near the lava lake.
"The purple mist is in the cave where Lord Pill made his pills," Jazmin said as she saw two pairs of white eyes, which seemed to see the pair of sisters.
A strong sense of death and a thunderous roar came out of the hole.
Aeger threw another treasure into the air, which displayed a silver shield protecting them.
This place was where the treasures of the Pill Lord were located, the place that every alchemist has longed to enter.
The two of them weren't alchemists, but they had heard that the pill lord besides pills, had a lot of treasures.
With that in mind, it was that they had come to this place.
Aeger and Jazmine nodded at the same time, as Aeger summoned a couple of pumpkins into the air, these pumpkins began to vote red smoke, causing the fog to immediately move away.
"Let's go," Aeger said, as they both sped down to the Pill Lord's cave.
At that moment the purple mist roared furiously, as it moved all of its purple mist towards the two sisters.
All this concentration of force was even stronger than the palm he had thrown at Adrian.
The roar of the fog destabilized the two sisters a bit, but the pumpkins seemed to be special, after releasing the red smoke which enveloped them, they began to glow brightly suppressing the purple mist.
"The treasure won't last more than five minutes, we must hurry!" – shouted Aeger, as he launched himself at full speed, both of them deployed their cultivation and aura.
The purple fog attacked with all its force, making the entire mountain tremble, even Adrian who was far away, could feel it, it was as if the entire northern part of the city was about to explode.
Adrian only frowned, as he continued studying.
The two sisters felt how the temperature around them rose even higher than before. If it weren't for the pumpkins, they would already be cooked by now.
"Attack sister!" – Aeger said as he watched as multiple hands of purple mist approached.
"Yes!" – Jasmine took out her halberd throwing herself against the fog hands, causing them to split into thousands of wisps of air.
The attack of the two sisters was enough to stop the hands made of mist.
Thus, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"Let's go!" said Aeger as he continued to advance, they couldn't waste any time, the pumpkins could barely stand, while the purple mist became more and more enraged, and its aura increased violently.
Even his roar became fiercer than before. Cracks began to appear everywhere in the pumpkins.
But Aeger and Jasmine had managed to enter the pill lord's cave.
In this place the hands of mist intensified, coming by the thousands. However, bursts of swords cut off all the hands, and a halberd crushed those that survived.
It was a team effort like no other in the world.
"This is the place where all the secrets of the pills were kept" – Aeger and Jasmine arrived at the door of the cave. Aeger threw a talisman which was nailed to the door, breaking the seal that had been imposed.
The door began to open slowly, but....
A powerful boom sounded at the entrance.
"Sister, the pumpkins have been destroyed!" – Jasmine said as they could feel the aura of the mist begin to invade this entire place.
"We have to leave quickly!" – Aeger shouted, while throwing multiple so that the door would open faster. The door finally opened
"Let's collect as much as we can and leave" – Aeger said as he entered inside, this place still retained its medicinal smell, the two sisters entered, and thought they would see a secret place full of treasures, and hundreds of pills.
But...
"There is nothing" – Jasmine said as she looked at an empty room, only remains of the objects that should have existed before. Other than that, there was nothing, absolutely nothing.
Adrian who was inside the pavilion of an old man, concentrated studying, looked at the notes of the Lord Pill, which he had found in his cave, perhaps it was the most dangerous place in the world, but Adrian had risked to enter. But there was nothing, he was thinking of telling that to the sisters, but he knew that they would not believe him if they did not see it for themselves.
