Chapter 768: Pill Ocean, Green Fish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The pill ocean was so stunning and ma.s.sive that they couldn’t see where it ended. G.o.d knows how many pills Tianzun had crafted and stored here because there seemed to be an unlimited supply.

Lin Jin didn’t know what the Golden Tian Luo Pill looked like. It would have been like searching for a needle in a haystack if he were alone, but thankfully he wasn’t.

Everyone who had seen a Golden Tian Luo Pill before, including Cai Die, joined the search party. Controlling their pet beasts to fly them to various locations, they began searching.

Lin Jin didn’t have much to do. He randomly picked up a pill to see how round and smooth it was. The pill even glowed slightly and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.

Although Lin Jin knew pelletization and was even considered good at it, he knew none of the immortal pills here. Also, these weren’t beasts so he couldn’t rely on the Museum of Deadly Beasts to appraise them.

Lin Jin had come here with a plan in mind. Since this was Tianzun’s pill storage, he wanted to take some immortal pills back with him as they must be worth a fortune.

Yet, after actually coming here and seeing this vast pill ocean, he didn’t know what to do for a moment there.

There were just too many.

He could easily seize a handful left and right.

He didn’t know where to begin. Because even if he took some back, he wouldn’t know their effects and couldn’t recklessly consume them. Even immortal pills had a best before period, right? Lin Jin thought he ought to have filled them in porcelain bottles and labeled them. It would be better if there was a book that clearly stated what the pills’ effects were.

That was what he imagined, unlike this scenario, where all the pills were mixed into a large pile like an ocean. Without even labels to guide him, he didn’t know where to start.

Unless one knew the specific pill’s appearance and characteristics, they could not search for it. The only option left was to grab a handful of pills and get out of this place before going insane from the choices and mess.

That was the only way.

Lin Jin put down the pill that looked like a white jade bead. He picked up another one that was a flaming red color.

Red represented flames.

Lin Jin thought this might be a unique fire attribute pill that would be useful for Xiao Huo. But after a sniff of the pill, the foul and spicy scent made his head spin and he almost fainted.

If he didn’t have the blood ghost to enhance his body and fortify his senses, Lin Jin would have choked to death just now.

“This isn’t a poison pill, is it?” Looking frightened, he quickly tossed the pill away.

It might very well be. What exactly had Tianzun been doing? Why didn’t he separate the poison pills? Wasn’t he afraid of the pill’s toxins leaking out and contaminating the other pills?

“Those with high cultivation are a capricious lot!” Lin Jin mumbled to himself. He wasn’t excited now after seeing so many pills. The pill ocean wasn’t going away anytime soon and Lin Jin didn’t have an urgent need for pills. The most important thing now was to locate the Golden Tian Luo Pill.

That was the main mission.

The Heaven & Earth Furnace’s fire had extinguished and Lin Jin could not use it, but he must have the Golden Tian Luo Pill. Must.

Cai Die and the immortals were still searching. Previously, Lin Jin thought it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack if he were on his own, but now, it seemed like the difficulty didn’t change much even with so many people on the job.

After all, the amount of the Golden Tian Luo Pill must be scarce. It was also mixed inside this sea of pills. If there were a few other variants of pills with similar appearance and characteristics, finding the actual Golden Tian Luo Pill would be much harder.

“It’s alright, I have time,” Lin Jin comforted himself. If this wouldn’t do, he could still search for it elsewhere. But he was sure that this place had some. Whether or not they could find them was the issue.

As time pa.s.sed, no one came back with good news.

Everyone looked relaxed at first, but now they all looked grim. Some even looked incredulous.

“How can this be? We couldn’t find any?”

“Or maybe this pill ocean doesn’t have Golden Tian Luo Pills…”

“That’s impossible. The Golden Tian Luo Pill may be scarce but what do you think this place is? This is Tianzun’s pill ocean. He created the Golden Tian Luo Pill so there must be some here. Let’s continue searching.”

They found heaps of life-extension pills but saw no traces of a Golden Tian Luo Pill.

During this time, Lin Jin had collected many pills himself. Among them included life-extension pills of varying grades. Ones that could extend a person’s life by ten to hundreds, and even five hundred years. Each one of these pills were worth a fortune if sold on the mainland. Yet, this place had hundreds of them so readily available.

Lin Jin also found a few other types after vigorous screening, afraid that he might end up collecting poison pills as treasure.

Poison pills did have their uses too, but not for now.

“I found it!” an immortal suddenly shouted with much excitement.

How could he not be? They had been searching for hours now and finally, one appeared. Of course he would be ecstatic.

Lin Jin perked up and hurried over. The other immortals huddled around too. But then, they heard a rumble coming from below the pill ocean. A green thing darted out from below and swallowed the Golden Tian Luo Pill, along with several hundred other pills around it.

Everyone was dumbstruck as they stared.

Lin Jin was the first to regain his senses. “After it!”

Upon hearing his command, the hybrid beast who had been following behind him charged forward swiftly. But the green thing wasn’t slow either, easily diving into the pill ocean like a fish entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

And Lin Jin had to describe it like a fish entering the sea because that green creature was indeed a fish… a large fish.

Lin Jin’s fingers were trembling in anger. They finally found one Golden Tian Luo Pill after much difficulty but someone got in the way. No one could possibly tolerate that.

Especially when the pill was very important to Lin Jin.

Without it, Xiao Huo had no hopes of advancing to Rank 8, so he must have the Golden Tian Luo Pill.

“Get out here!” Lin Jin barked. The Clear Wind Sword that was fastened on his waist flew out of its sheathe to pierce itself into the pill ocean.

The world was silent for a moment. The immortals couldn’t help even if they wanted to. They didn’t know what that green fish was. To think the creature actually took it from the pill ocean. It had leaped up so quickly earlier, like it actually jumped up from water, that they couldn’t react in time.

After a moment of silence, the pill ocean tumbled violently before a sword’s silhouette flew back into the sheath around Lin Jin’s waist.
