Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1972: Forbidden Pill Medicine ’Returning to the Extreme Pill

Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s words, Kian Hayden’s expression changed once more.

Although, in this world where respect the powerful prevails, most people are selfish.

However, to Kian Hayden, his family is more important than his own life!

Simply because, every step of his journey, his achievements today rely entirely on the support of his family...

If it weren’t for his family’s collective effort in nurturing him, with his talent and spirit root merely being ’light green,’ he wouldn’t have achieved what he has at his current age!

It can be said that his achievements today are thirty percent due to himself, seventy percent due to his family!

"Elder Lee, Wyatt Barnes’s strength is so formidable that he even defeated Mats Davidson, who mastered the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Guardian’... Although my cultivation level is at the ’late Heavenly Saint Realm,’ I’m not necessarily his match!"

Kian Hayden looked at Maximus with red eyes and a sullen face and said, "Even if my strength surpasses his, it won’t be by much... It’s very difficult to kill him in a short time without giving the elders of the Four Symbols Forum’s Punishment Zone in First Mine District a chance to intervene!"

Evidently, facing Maximus’s concession, Kian gave in.

And he had no choice but to compromise!

In his heart, the importance of his family is greater than his own life and death!

He even suspected that Maximus was threatening him for this very reason.

Faced with Maximus’s threats, he considered resisting and going to the Law Enforcement Elder for justice...

However, he knew that even if he sought the justice he wanted, Maximus would at most be lightly punished. After all, he only threatened him without acting on it, let alone killing him!

As for his family, and the lives of his family members, until he grows enough to be important to the Fire Worship Sect, in the eyes of the sect’s higher-ups, they are insignificant.

Even if Maximus were to destroy his family, the Fire Worship Sect wouldn’t intervene.

In the eyes of the sect’s higher-ups, it’s merely a personal grudge of Maximus, unrelated to the Fire Worship Sect!

Precisely because of this, Kian gave up the idea of going to Black Tortoise Forum’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Abraham Clifford’ for justice and chose to compromise.

"I’ve thought about everything you said... You can rest assured, as long as you act in the Four Symbols Forum disciple residence within First Mine District’s Punishment Zone, even if the Punishment Zone elders want to go there, it takes time. All you need is to kill him before they arrive!"

Upon hearing Kian’s words, Maximus once again spoke calmly, "Taking a step back, even if after engaging with him, you find it difficult to kill him with your strength, or if you’re not his opponent... I have already fully prepared for that!"

As his voice fell, Maximus raised his right hand, revealing an exquisite pill bottle in his hand, "With your strength, as long as you consume the pill inside... your strength will be increased to a level infinitely close to the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ in a short time!"

As he spoke, Maximus’s gaze also fell on the pill bottle in his hand.

Kian’s gaze followed Maximus’s to the pill bottle, his expression changed slightly once more.

After hearing Maximus’s words, he could also sense that the pill bottle must contain a pill that enhances strength... Of course, in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, pills are the only means for short-term strength enhancement.

The effects of such a pill are similar to an ’auxiliary Divine Ability’ that can temporarily enhance strength, but the side effects are far more exaggerated compared to the aftereffects of auxiliary Divine Abilities!

The aftereffects of auxiliary Divine Abilities are generally temporary and can be fully recovered given enough time.

However, the side effects of a pill are difficult to fully recover from... Even if complete recovery is possible, the conditions are extremely harsh!

Therefore, upon hearing Maximus’s words and seeing the pill bottle in his hand, Kian’s expression completely changed.

"Elder Lee, what pill is this?"

After a while, taking a deep breath, Kian moved his somewhat stiff neck, looked up at Maximus, and asked, visibly wary.

"Returning to the Extreme Pill!"

Maximus said calmly.

Hiss!

Almost the instant Maximus finished speaking, Kian’s face changed dramatically, his pupils constricted, simultaneously gasping in shock.

He had heard of the existence of such a pill!

The Returning to the Extreme Pill, as the name suggests, is a nearly self-destructive pill, one of the few forbidden pills dreaded in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Generally, only ’quasi-immortal grade Saint Refiners’ dedicated to alchemy can concoct it, and it contains extremely potent medicinal power.

It is said that high-grade Returning to the Extreme Pills can even help Saint Immortal Realm practitioners enhance their strength in a short time!

And the enhanced strength is not weak!

But, with gain comes loss, consuming the Returning to the Extreme Pill temporarily boosts strength but has severe side effects:

From serious injuries and chronic ailments to direct death and soul dissipation!

Therefore, upon hearing Maximus say the pill inside the bottle is ’Returning to the Extreme Pill,’ Kian had such a significant reaction.

Returning to the Extreme Pill, is not an ordinary forbidden pill!

Even across the entire Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the ’Returning to the Extreme Pill’ is notably famous as a forbidden pill.

Of course, its value is also exceptionally high.

Kian could hardly believe that, to kill a Wyatt Barnes, Maximus Lee, as the first Silver Flame Elder of the Black Tortoise Forum, would go so far as to use such a precious forbidden pill.

He was well aware:

Even though Maximus Lee was the Black Tortoise Altar’s number one Elder Silver Flame, he might not possess a second ’Returning to the Extreme Pill’.

The Returning to the Extreme Pill was too precious!

Kian Hayden was naturally unaware that, in Maximus Lee’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes had already become a threat to his life and fortune...

Once Wyatt Barnes grew stronger, even if he wanted to survive, he couldn’t remain in the Fire Worship Sect.

By then, with Wyatt Barnes in the Fire Worship Sect, there would be no place left for Maximus Lee!

One must know, Wyatt Barnes was not some ’yellow-rooted’ mediocrity, but possessed the ’blue root’ and a talent for comprehending Divine Abilities that could be described as defying the heavens—a martial genius.

In the future, as he grew, his position in the Fire Worship Sect would surely surpass Maximus Lee’s!

Therefore, to eliminate Wyatt Barnes, this ’serious threat’, Maximus Lee didn’t hesitate to use the forbidden pill medicine, the ’Returning to the Extreme Pill’, which he had been hoarding for years.

"By your expression, you should have heard of this ’Returning to the Extreme Pill’... Since that’s the case, I won’t explain further."

As he handed the pill medicine bottle to Kian Hayden, Maximus Lee said casually.

Seeing Maximus Lee handing over the pill bottle, Kian Hayden’s hand was just about to take it but then froze.

At the same time, his gaze fixed on the pill bottle, filled with genuine terror, as if it were some terrifying beast rather than just a simple bottle.

"Hmph!"

It wasn’t until Maximus Lee gave a cold snort that Kian Hayden’s body jolted, prompting him to stretch out his hand and take the pill bottle offered by Maximus Lee.

The small pill bottle, now in Kian Hayden’s hands, felt as heavy as a mountain.

"Next, how to get to the Four Symbols Altar’s ’First Mining Area’... I don’t think I need to teach you, right?"

Maximus Lee glanced lightly at Kian Hayden, then turned and left without waiting for a response.

Kian Hayden was left standing there, his face switching between emotions.

At some point, he put away the pill bottle, his fists clenching tightly, staring at Maximus Lee’s departing figure with an expression full of ’resentment’ and more ’resentment’.

If he could, he wouldn’t want to be led by the nose by Maximus Lee!

But now, he had no choice.

Unless he disregarded his family, he had no option but to follow Maximus Lee’s words.

Four Symbols Altar’s First Mining Area, Punishment Zone.

In the mine, in the area where ’Wyatt Barnes’ was, all those Four Symbols Altar disciples kept their distance out of fear of him, allowing Wyatt Barnes to mine the surrounding Grade One Holy Stones easily.

"At this rate... soon, I’ll be able to collect a large number of Grade One Holy Stones!"

Wyatt Barnes murmured softly to himself, simultaneously tossing the Grade One Holy Stones onto a large basket behind him while also placing them into the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower, his movements smooth and seamless.

Unless someone stood beside Wyatt Barnes, staring at him intently, they wouldn’t notice Wyatt’s ’little actions’.

For Wyatt Barnes, staying within the Fire Worship Sect, Grade One Holy Stones weren’t of much use.

However, once he left the Fire Worship Sect, these Holy Stones would undoubtedly be a fortune.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain, ’Holy Stones’ were the standard currency for transactions.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes’s sword encountered considerable resistance.

Immediately, he looked closely, extending his Divine Sense out.

He quickly discovered a chunk of Sacred Stone Ore, emitting a rich Spiritual Energy, embedded within a large piece of Grade One Holy Stone ore. The richness of its Spiritual Energy far surpassed that of Grade One Holy Stone.

"Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stone!"

In a moment, Wyatt Barnes realized he had encountered a Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stone, his eyes lit up, showing a face of excitement.

However, his expression soon returned to calm, continuing to work as if nothing happened.

During this process, Wyatt Barnes secretly tossed the large piece of Grade One Holy Stone containing the Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stone into the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower, keeping his actions well-hidden from others.

"Seems like luck is on my side... on the second day, I stumbled upon a Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stone! Plus, it’s quite a large piece."

Though his expression had calmed, Wyatt Barnes still felt a thrill in his heart.

From what he knew, the average Four Symbols Altar disciple required around ten days to find a Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stone.

After all, the Four Symbols Altar’s ’First Mining Area’ was a Grade One Holy Stone mine; while it produced Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stones, they were scarce and hard to come by.

Some might even go a whole month without finding a Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stone.

"However, this Four Symbols Altar ’First Mining Area’ is a trap... Even if we mine Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stones, there’s no special treatment; we still have to complete the regular task quota. For us, mining Quasi-Immortal Grade Holy Stones is no different from mining Grade One Holy Stones!"

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
