Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 3: Divine Pill, Shocking to Hear

Upon witnessing Luo Li's discomposure, Ye Yun offered a gentle smile, his face revealing an unusual expression. He pondered inwardly.

As Ye Yun formed the thought, the Marrow Cleansing Pill appeared to heed his summons and drifted back into Luo Li’s palm.

"How could it possibly be God Level?" Luo Li regained her senses, staring at the Old Ancestor in astonishment.

"Is God Level really that unusual?" Ye Yun gazed at Luo Li with curiosity, a light smile playing on his lips.

"Old Ancestor, this Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill is incredibly precious! I truly can’t bring myself to swallow it!" Luo Li cradled the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her palm, her eyes gleaming like those of a famished predator, gulping down her saliva.

She marveled inwardly in awe.

At present, the ranks of cultivation techniques, pills, and magical treasures ranged from low to high as follows: Mortal Level, Yellow Level, Spirit Level, Profound Level, Earth Level, Heaven Level, King Level, Emperor Level, culminating in God Level.

On the Cangnan Continent, folks would slaughter each other over a Heaven Level Marrow Cleansing Pill. As for King Level or superior, they had never surfaced at all. Merely ten tiers were widely recognized. Certain pills could attain King Level, yet Emperor Level and beyond existed only in myths.

Luo Li had spent her whole life in destitution. The finest Marrow Cleansing Pill she’d ever taken was just a Yellow Level, Superior-grade one.

In that instant, a greenish flicker appeared in her eyes. She plotted silently,

Noticing the avaricious expression on the young girl’s face, Ye Yun smiled faintly and produced a petite Purple Gold Gourd.

"No need to hesitate about using it. This gourd holds ten thousand Divine Marrow Cleansing Pills. You could munch them like sweets without issue..."

Upon hearing Ye Yun’s statement, Luo Li found herself stunned anew. Her mind seemed to grind to a halt completely.

"Old Ancestor, you... you’re not pulling my leg, right?" Luo Li inquired cautiously.

"Do I seem like I’m jesting?" Ye Yun pulled out a tiny mirror and checked his own image. His face was utterly solemn. He wondered to himself.

Thus, he lightly flung the Purple Gold Gourd toward Luo Li. "Why not open it up and check for yourself, Luo Li?"

"Oh!"

Luo Li, remaining doubtful, accepted the Purple Gold Gourd. Upon uncorking it, she beheld a separate dimension inside. Innumerable Marrow Cleansing Pills hovered thickly within; a rough tally indicated no fewer than eight or nine thousand. Moreover, every Marrow Cleansing Pill matched the one she held precisely. All were God-level Top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills!

Stunned as though hammered on the skull, Luo Li stood mute in shock, her thoughts utterly blanked out.

She faltered in her mind.

"Old Ancestor, am I in a dream?" Luo Li rubbed her eyes, appearing bewildered, unable to accept the reality.

"Everything here is genuine, little one," Ye Yun replied softly, his look warm and compassionate. He perceived that this 298th Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect had suffered numerous trials and injustices in her youth. This stirred deep emotions within Ye Yun.

He swore silently in his heart,

"Boo hoo..." Luo Li buried her face in her hands and broke into tears, overcome by emotion. She couldn’t pinpoint the reason for her sobs. Maybe it stemmed from sheer overwhelming joy.

"Luo Li, cease your weeping. Quickly swallow this Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill," Ye Yun urged with a grin.

Luo Li quelled her tears. Long years on the run, forever evading pursuit, had tempered her into a remarkably tough individual; her discipline exceeded that of her contemporaries by far.

With utmost respect, she returned the Purple Gold Gourd to Ye Yun.

"This gourd full of Divine Marrow Cleansing Pills belongs to you now!" Ye Yun dismissed with a wave.

Realizing the Old Ancestor meant to bestow upon her the whole gourd of Divine Marrow Cleansing Pills, Luo Li paled in horror.

Having fled as a fugitive for years, the youthful Luo Li had gained considerable savvy; how could she ignore the wisdom of concealing one’s riches?

"Old Ancestor, it’s far too valuable! You should hold onto it!" Luo Li remarked with a sheepish smile, slipping the Purple Gold Gourd back into Ye Yun’s grasp.

"Alright then," Ye Yun agreed, nodding amiably. He had served as Sect Master of a mighty sect in his time and wandered the martial realm sword in hand; he knew well the treacherous flows of the Cultivation World.

Afterward, Luo Li ingested the Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill with great care.

WHOOSH...

Transformations overtook her body. Black, noxious sweat began oozing out, then dark muck – every impurity from her depths. This persisted throughout the duration of a single incense stick’s burn.

"Oh no, the stench is awful! Old Ancestor, I’ve shamed myself in your presence!"

Once the marrow cleansing finished, Luo Li was slathered in thick black impurities, emanating a repulsive odor. The girl’s cheeks burned red with mortification, desperate to burrow into the ground and vanish.

Right then, Luo Li caught the Old Ancestor posing an unforeseen query.

"What color Robe suits you, Luo Li?"

"Yellow!" Luo Li blurted without pause.

A vivid yellow glow erupted. A feminine yellow Robe materialized before her, suspended in the air. This pale yellow Robe was splendid and ornate, featuring a Divine Dragon embroidery on its rear. It exuded a holy presence so potent that Luo Li struggled to gaze upon it straight.

Luo Li pondered to herself.

Ye Yun let out a soft sigh. "This Robe is merely Emperor Level. Make do with it temporarily."

At the Old Ancestor’s casual remark, Luo Li froze in disbelief, her features frozen in utter stupefaction.
