Matchless Pill God

1. Rebirth after a disaster

Translator: Flying Lines

Night came.

A black cold wave corroded the entire devil dragon mining area wantonly. The air of death filled the whole place.

“Qin Sheng, don’t blame me for burying you here. We’ve been hit by a mine disaster. There are powerful beasts everywhere outside. I really can’t bring your corpse back to Dayan city.”

The voice was so familiar that it seemed to have been heard somewhere, and it was getting clearer and clearer!

“Am I dead? Why is there someone calling me?”

Qin Sheng felt suffocated. His face was covered with smelly mud, and his body seemed to be falling apart. Especially,

there was a sharp pain coming from his head, and a lot of memory fragments were poured into his mind like a tide.

“Shut up Han Tailong, you idiot. Just bury Qin Sheng quickly. How dare he scream like that? If you

keep screaming, you’ll incur the scorpion-tailed tiger and all of us would have to die with him!”

A low and gloomy voice came from a distance. It sounded full of threats.

Soon, the sharp pain from the head receded like a tide, and Qin Sheng finally digested all the memories. With a kip-up, Qin Sheng jumped out of the mass grave. He opened his starry eyes, where a sharp cold light flashed across!

“Not only did I not die, but also I accidentally got the memory of

Pill Emperor Wanjie who was the most brilliant alchemist throughout heaven and earth?” Qin Sheng was shocked and felt fortunate at the same time, but soon he frowned again, “Why am I still so weak? It seems that the scorpion-tailed tiger toxin in my body has not been completely cleared.”

“Pill Emperor Wanjie was the most honorable alchemist. With the best alchemy

skills and the unattainable status, he was revered by

countless strong men at every corner of the world. However, he was framed by the traitors, and his force were ruined. Not only his cultivation was crippled, but he was imprisoned by the Ninth-Heaven royal family and forced to do labor in the Prem-ancient Mine as a tool of pill refining!”

“In the end, Pill Emperor Wanjie strained with all his might

to make the “Pill of Reincarnation” and transmigrated! But But it was a pity that even after Pill Emperor had the Pill of Reincarnation, he didn’t manage to retain his

form and spirit after perdition. Now I accidentally got the memory of him.”

“Elder, please rest in peace. From now on, I will fight my way back to the ninth heaven on behalf of you, and kill those so-called royal saints who used to enslave you!” Qin Sheng was full of killing intents. He made a faithful promise with his eyes shining in the dark like torches.

Thinking of revenge, Qin Sheng was wondering that why he got chased by a scorpion-tailed tiger for no reason. Something was behind this. There was definitely someone who wanted to kill him!

Qin Sheng looked around and found himself in a dark and cold cave. It was not too big, and there were seven or eight students from Floating Cloud Academy a few steps away. At that time, they were all in a state of disarray, not communicating with each other. They were either sorting out their own weapons, or meditating to recover their meta force.

“A rotten corpse, run! Qin Sheng has turned into a rotten corpse!”

Qin Sheng suddenly jumped out of the barrow. Han Tailong, who was shoving the mud, was frightened to death. His fat face turned completely pale, and he scrambled away from the grave immediately.

Devil Dragon Mining Area, this perpetual forbidden zone, had too many scary and gloomy legends bred here. Even if they were just on the edge of the mine, it was dangerous.

Legend had it that when the mining area was prosperous, many miners had died in it, and their dead bodies got piled up like mountains, causing some miners to got infected with corpse poison and then turned into terrible rotten corpses.

Everyone’s face changed dramatically, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They immediately wanted to fled. With their strength, they could not compete with the powerful and poisonous rotten corpse, even if it’s the weakest.

Qin Sheng grabbed Han Tailong’s shoulder with one hand. Han Tailong was like struck by a bolt from the blue, and lost all his strength. He knelt down directly and said in fear, “Qin Sheng, I’m your best friend Han Tailong. Please don’t eat me. My fat is too greasy and not delicious.”

“I’m not dead. Why would I become a rotten corpse?” Qin Sheng couldn’t help but find it funny and pulled up this somewhat loyal friend.

Han Tailong’s familiar round face approached Qin Sheng and then he immediately got excited and said, “I knew it, you’re not an ordinary person. You haven’t even achieved your goals. You can’t be so short-lived.”

The others noticed that Qin Sheng had not turned into a corpse, so they all just glanced coldly, then put down their weapons and continued to rest. They must maintain their strength before the academy’s backup force came.

“You’re really lucky. Got poisoned by a scorpion-tailed tiger but did not even die!” With a tall and sturdy body and a pair of sneaky eyes, Zhao Qiongcang, who were wiping a shining sword, smiled coldly and said.

“Zhao Qiongcang, how dare you curse Qin Sheng!”

Han Tailong was full of anger. With his fat body shook violently. He pointed at Zhao Qiongcang and exclaimed, “I saw you throw the beast egg of scorpion-tailed tiger into Qin Sheng’s tent with my own eyes. Otherwise, how could he be chased by the scorpion-tailed tiger?”

“It was you who planned all this!” Han Tailong pointed at Zhao Qiongcang angrily.

Qin Sheng glanced indifferently at Zhao Qiongcang in the distance and the memories quickly ‘replayed’ before he was in a coma.

Originally, this group of students, including Qin Sheng, were at the outskirts of the devil dragon mining area to participate in the entrance examination organized by Floatingr Cloud Academy. Only by passing the examination could they become the formal students of Floating Cloud Academy, and at the same time, the academy would also divide them into the junior class, senior class and elite class according to the performance of the students in the test.

According to the memory of the original Qin Sheng, there were no signs of beasts outside the devil dragon mining area but just some wild wolves, brown bears and other common beasts. Such big beasts at the peak of the first level as scorpion-tailed tigers were unlikely to appear here at all. So it was a very suitable place for the freshmen’s admission examination.

But then suddenly a big scorpion-tailed tiger invaded into this area, so the whole freshmen camp collapsed. There was complete chaos, and all the new students were just fleeing everywhere. In a panic, Qin Sheng found this mine cave with the group and temporarily hid in here, waiting for the tutors of Floating Cloud Academy to come to rescue them.

Qin Sheng got hit badly by the steel-mace-like scorpion tail during the escape. So he fainted right after they got into the cave. His best friend Han Tailong thought that Qin Sheng had died, so he planned to bury him.

“Swoosh!”

As Han Tailong’s voice just faded, all the students in the mine focused their gaze on Zhao Qiongcang. If it’s really like what Han Tailong said, then this insolent disaster which almost killed them in this mining area,

was brought by Zhao Qiongcang. This was a big matter of life and death!

Their gaze was not friendly, and a few male cadets even emanated strong meta force. The atmosphere inside the mine was tense!

Zhao Qiongcang’s face changed, especially when he felt that there were a few threads of meta force in the mine cave that were not weaker than his. Suddenly he stood up, and his huge body immediately blocked most of the light in the mine, giving a faint pressure. He reproached, “Han Tailong, how dare you try to slander me? Do you know the consequences?”

“Han Tailong was right. You stole the newly laid egg of scorpion-tailed tiger!” Qin Sheng suddenly said, with cold light flashing across his eyes, and pointed at Zhao Qiongcang with certainty.

Zhao Qiongcang was stunned first. He obviously did not expect that Qin Sheng would have the courage to step forward and accuse him, which was completely different from Qin Sheng’s usual style. The moment he made eye contact with Qin Sheng, he felt like he was being targeted by a scorpion-tailed tiger, which made his hair stand on end and his body could not help but tremble.

Qin Sheng had Pill Emperor Wanjie’s memory, so it was natural for him to have a hint of Pill Emperor Wanjie’s aura.

“What’s going on? How come I’m afraid of Qin Sheng?” Zhao Qiongcang was shocked and angry. He suppressed his fear, and then sneered, “Bullshit! What proof do you have?”

Qin Sheng glanced coldly at Zhao Qiongcang and then said, “Please come closer to him, everyone. Do you smell a very special odour? This is the smell of the scorpion-tailed tiger. It proves that he has been exposed to it closely.”

An angry trainee approached Zhao Qiongcang a little bit and said with an unfriendly tone, “He really has a very special smell on his body!”

Everyone was shocked and angry, including Zhao Qiongcang. A huge wave was raised in his heart: “Does he know the truth?”

However, Zhao Qiongcang quickly calmed down again after a moment of shock, and he said, “You were hit by the scorpion-tailed tiger, so you also have its smell on your body. And mine was from you!”

Hearing this, Qin Sheng sneered, “You still dare to argue.”

“Everyone, please look at his palm again. There are some strange patterns of burn? That’s the same with the surface of the scorpion-tailed tiger! Although the cub is not yet born, the surface of the eggshell has some self-protective patterns.”

“You stole the egg from Manticore, activated the protective lines on the eggshell surface and burned your palm. The most important thing is that the scorpion-tailed tiger intruding into the freshmen camp was not after me, but after you, because it can feel the marks on your palm!”

Qin Sheng finished his words in one sitting.

“What pattern? What are you talking about? It’s just complete nonsense!” Zhao Qiongcang hid his injured hand and took a few steps back. His face finally looked flustered.

“Whether it’s true or not, you could all tell!” Qin Sheng then took out a beast egg.

Everyone looked seriously at it and found that the lines on Zhao Qiongcang’s scalded palm were exactly the same as the pattern on the shell of the beast egg! The gaze of the crowd were fiercer at Zhao Qiongcang.

However, the moment Zhao Qiongcang saw the egg, his fat face started to trembled, and a greedy look appeared in his eyes. He sneered grimly, and stretched out his hand: “You still got the beast egg on you? Give it to me.”

At the same time, the other students who were participating in the examination also started to look greedy, and they were all pressing on towards Qin Sheng…
