Ancient Thunder Dragon Spell Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - Gambling Pills

Ancient trees surrounded Pill Pavilion, the old tree was vast and ancient, adding on the ancient and grand aura of Pill Pavilion, this made Pill Pavilion appear even more mysterious.

There were patches of green and bronze on the ancient bronze door, and there were even some signs of it falling off. The markings of ancient times were carved on it, clearly indicating that it had existed for a long time.

In front of the main entrance of the Pill Pavilion, there was a square shaped stage that was one metre tall, and each of it was thirty meters wide. Currently, there were a dozen or so disciples of the Pill Pavilion standing orderly on the stage.

Among them were young and old, men and women. Their ages were all different, but they were all imposing and had extraordinary cultivations. However, at this time, their cultivation had been restrained, and even their expressions were extremely amiable. From the looks of it, they did not seem haughty at all.

The disciples of the Pill Pavilion had always kept a low profile, which was a huge contrast to the arrogant and despotic disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. Moreover, all of them had the ability to refine pills and were respected by the people in the clan. Although the Law Enforcement Hall had several times the number of people in the Pill Pavilion, their prestige in the clan was not even a tenth of that of the Pill Pavilion.

When Lei Yang stepped into the plaza, there were already many direct descendants gathered at the foot of the stage in front of the Pill Pavilion. Lei Yang roughly swept the area, and among the disciples that came to pick up the pellets, most of them were at the third and fourth level of spirit energy.

Ever since Lei Yang had the golden seal's rune on his chest, he realised, not only was he able to see other people's cultivation level, he could even hide his own cultivation level. However, his own cultivation level was currently at the third level of Qi, so there was no need for him to hide.

Actually, he did not know that the thing that helped him see through others' cultivation bases and hide his own was not the golden rune on his chest, but rather the drop of golden liquid on his forehead that he had yet to detect.

He had not started distributing the pellets yet, so Lei Yang casually found a spot on the side and started to meditate with his eyes closed, ignoring the rest. He waited for the pellets to be distributed and picked them up before leaving.

He felt that the spiritual energy in this garden was very dense, so he decided to cultivate. As the 35 bridges opened, they absorbed the spiritual energy of the world. He quickly discovered that his cultivation had improved by a bit.

However, Lei Yang's actions were quickly stopped by the friendly shouts of the disciples of the Pill Pavilion. Because if one was not a disciple of the Pill Pavilion, cultivation and breathing were not allowed here.

Fortunately, they did not recognize Lei Yang and the discussion came to an end very quickly. Because the spirit energy in this place was very dense, as long as it was a disciple who entered the Pill Garden for the first time, they would probably make such a mistake, so everyone was not surprised.

The distribution of the pills still required a period of time, and cultivation was not allowed here. Feeling bored, Lei Yang decided to look around, it was his first time here, so he was very curious.

But just as Lei Yang was looking around, a figure walked out from the path in the plaza. He was dressed in white, his expression arrogant and arrogant, and it was none other than Lei Ming.

"What a narrow path for enemies to tread!" Lei Yang clenched his fists until they were hot, the hatred at the bottom of his heart started to boil, but in the end, he still slowly calmed down, because he remembered his father's repeated warnings.

"Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future anyway." Lei Yang said firmly in the bottom of his heart.

However, after Lei Yang observed, although Lei Ming's talent was average, he did not know what method he used. In just a few months, his cultivation had increased by a lot, and he had reached the early stages of the sixth level of Qi.

And following the rise of his cultivation level, an unparalleled arrogance, arrogance, and domineering feeling seeped out from the depths of his bones. As soon as he walked into the square, he heard a lot of flattery.

Lei Ming had a smile on his face, and was very satisfied with the reaction of the direct line of descent. He cupped his fists together as he walked towards the platform in front of the Pill Pavilion's gates. Everywhere he went, the entire plaza would automatically make way for him, and even the two to three attendants who were at least at the third or fourth level of Spirit Qi followed him and made way for him.

Although Lei Ming had an extremely bad reputation within the clan, due to his father's position in Lei Kaishan, on the surface, the disciples of the clan still respected him a lot. After all, no one was willing to offend this evil star.

Lei Ming had always enjoyed the feeling of being praised high above by others, so he had not noticed the huge change that had occurred to Lei Yang who was hidden in the crowd, making it even harder to see him.

He strode to the front of the stage, and greeted a forty year old middle-aged Pill Pavilion disciple standing in the center of the stage with a cupped fist: "Greetings, Uncle Lei Tong."

But it was as if the middle aged man named Lei Tong did not buy his words, and only snorted coldly and did not reply.

Lei Ming was no longer interested, he only chuckled, but his eyes flashed a cold smile, which meant, I want to see how long you can stay alive for. After that, he started to chat and laugh with the other clan disciples around him.

Not long after, the two gigantic bronze doors at the bottom of Pill Pavilion suddenly opened, and a strong pill fragrance immediately spread across the entire plaza, causing everyone to suck in a breath, their spirits lifted, at the same time, the entire plaza fell into a dead silence, only leaving behind the slowly opening bronze doors of the Pill Pavilion, which emitted a dull creaking sound.

The huge bronze door was not completely open. Instead, it only opened a crack that was just large enough for an adult to pa.s.s through before it stopped. As he stopped, a handsome young man wearing a white robe slowly walked out.

As he walked out, the dozen or so Pill Pavilion disciples on the stage immediately turned around and cupped their fists and bowed to him respectfully. Even Lei Tong, who had a cold expression earlier, had a respectful expression.

As he cupped his fists and bowed, he shouted loudly like a loud bell: "Elder of Pill Pavilion, Dan Tong is here as if he was an elder. Hurry up and greet him."

After the clan disciples heard this, they didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest and all quickly cupped their fists and bowed respectfully.

After he finished greeting the pill boy, the pill child handed over a fist-sized pill furnace to Lei Tong and immediately retreated to the side.

Lei Tong took the pill furnace and walked to the center of the stage, then said in a loud voice: "Today, Pill Pavilion's pills are Spirit Gathering Pills, Elder Pill Pavilion, considering the upcoming New Year and the imminent arrival of the annual Family Compet.i.tion, he has shown great kindness and compa.s.sion towards the next generation of the Lei Family, thus he will personally refine a batch of Spirit Gathering Pills and give it to everyone, hoping that it will be of some help to you.

One must know that even an ordinary pill would be extremely rare with his pill, not to mention this Spirit Gathering Pill.

Alright, go ahead and line up to receive your pills, one by one, according to the order, all the disciples of Pill Pavilion can queue up to receive Spirit Gathering Pills.

When Lei Tong's words fell, the entire plaza immediately erupted with noise. Everyone rushed to the front of the queue, because once they heard that it was the Spirit Gathering Pellet personally refined by the Pill Pavilion Elder, Lei Yunzi, all of the disciples in the clan immediately went crazy. Everyone wanted to get a pellet personally concocted by the Pill Pavilion Elder.

The plaza looked very dark, but because there were more than ten Pill Pavilion's disciples who could receive pellets, and over a thousand Pill Pavilion's disciples, they were split into dozens of groups. Comparatively speaking, each team only had around a hundred people, so it was not considered crowded, and Lei Yang casually found a spot, and slowly walked forward.

While waiting, he saw that all the disciples of the Pill Pavilion were holding crystal square seals in their hands. The crystal square stamp was extremely strange. As long as one shone it on a person's face, they would be able to accurately determine the level of their cultivation, thus a person was not allowed to take too much time. They were able to obtain the appropriate pellets based on their own cultivation, and not long after, it was Lei Yang's turn.

Lei Yang just happened to be in the same group as Lei Yang, and when Lei Tong shone the strange crystal on Lei Yang's face, his expression suddenly became strange, and he subconsciously exclaimed softly, making Lei Yang, who was already very nervous, feel even more nervous.

Following that, Lei Tong took several more pictures of him, and immediately felt that the situation was not good. He immediately checked his cultivation, and realised that his cultivation was already at the peak of the second level of Spirit Qi, and became anxious.

"What's going on? Weren't I the one who checked the situation a moment ago? Why did the chain drop at such a crucial moment? What should I do? What should I do?" Lei Yang clenched both of his fists tightly and rubbed his fingers. He was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind, when he suddenly saw Lei Tong smiling as he handed him a white pill bag. Lei Yang was startled.

"What are you still staring at? Why aren't you taking it?" Lei Tong seemed to be able to see through Lei Yang's nervousness. After saying that, he gave him a meaningful glance, and Lei Yang immediately reacted, realizing that the other party was intentionally letting him off by a yard, he immediately took the pill bag and smiled gratefully, then turned and left without looking back with a guilty conscience.

In a place where there were only a few people, he quickly opened the pill bag to take a look. Immediately, disappointment appeared in his eyes because within the large white pill bag, there was only that pitiful pill lying there quietly.

The pill was a deep red, about the size of a thumb's belly, and there was a cloud carved onto it. This was obviously the mark of the Pill Pavilion Elder, Lei Yunzi. Although there was only one pill, it still filled the entire pill bag with a strong, unsolvable pill fragrance.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Pill. The pill is indeed wondrous!" Although Lei Yang was a little disappointed that he had only obtained one pellet, it was a pellet personally refined by the elder of the Pill Pavilion, which also gave him a bit of comfort in his heart.

"Sigh, coming here wasn't in vain after all!" Lei Yang consoled himself with a sigh. Aside from that, Lei Yang was extremely grateful to Pill Pavilion disciple for what he had done. Because in that situation, the other party had actually let him off friendly and not exposed it on the spot. This made him feel grateful in his heart, but at the same time, he had a good impression of Lei Tong and the Pill Pavilion.

He had already received the pill, and the result was not too bad. Lei Yang did not want to stay any longer, so he turned and walked towards the outside of the plaza, preparing to leave the pill garden.

As Lei Yang walked past the plaza, he saw that there were many disciples around the plaza who were not in a rush to leave after receiving the medicinal pellets. Instead, they were in a group, using the pellets they had received as bargaining chips to make a bet.

In fact, wherever he went, there were quite a few disciples who saw his low cultivation level and invited him to join them. This kind of bet was rejected by him one by one.

And this kind of gambling using medicinal pills as a bargaining chip was precisely what these disciples called "gambling pills".

Everyone who had been to the Pill Garden knew that the day of the pill release was a small monthly gathering for the disciples of the clan. The clan did not interfere with this and even allowed it to happen, and their goal was to increase the exchange of pointers between the disciples and increase the strength of the clan.

Although Lei Yang had long heard of the pill gambling matter, this was the first time he had seen it. Along the way, he couldn't help but feel curious, and as he looked around, he noticed that many of his disciples were gambling with pills.

He wanted to take a gamble, but he was too short on money to gamble and had no acquaintances to introduce him. So he had to turn around and leave after shaking his head with a sigh.

However, just as he was about to step out of the field and walk onto the quiet limestone path, a discordant voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey, brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave for such an interesting gathering? Come come come, why don't you bet with me?" Following the sound of the voice, a white-clothed youth leisurely walked over with a smile that made Lei Yang feel nauseous at first glance. He was none other than Lei Ming.
