Chapter 120 A Harvest


    A gleam formed and zed up in Eugene''s eyes as he started to sense Darren''s raging Spirit Power.


    Eugene beamed up at Darren as if he had discovered some treasures.


    "Interesting, kid. Unleash your Spirit Power again," Eugene demanded at Darren with a smile. Taking a


    nce at Darren''s surprised reaction made Eugene believe that he was not hallucinating. The Spirit


    Power that he had was truly exceptional.


    At this point, Robin Zhou woke up suddenly and lifted himself up from the ground hastily. Shock and


    bewilderment were written on his face.


    "I was disturbed from my slumber! I sensed a strong Spirit Power! What is going on?" Robin shouted


    while staggering. With twitched eyebrows, the drunk man''s sight was moving haphazardly in sensing


    where could the Spirit Powere from.


    ''This is not good. I need to stop him, '' Eugene thought eagerly. ''If Robin found out that this brat has


    such strong Spirit Power, he will undoubtedly take him from me and make him his disciple. It will be


    such a waste!''


    Meanwhile, Darren read Eugene''s mind instantly as he took note of Eugene''s expression. He was


    aware of how his true strength was needed to be hidden.


    Cleverness possessed Darren, making him smirk. Taking a step backward, he walked up to Robin


    directly. He stuck out his foot and tripped the drunk man over. As a result, Robin hit his head against


    the wall and cked out again. Silence prevailed, atst.


    "Well done, brat. You''re a clever kid. Now,e with me," Eugene praised, smiling delightfully. As he


    witnessed Darren''s Spirit Power and performance, he couldn''t help but smile from ear to ear.


    "Thank you, sir. It''s an honor to please you," Darren responded in excitement as if he was d to hear


    Eugene''s praise. It was going smoothly for him. In fact, Darren was happy because he would now


    obtain the rune. Eugene was too dumb to notice Darren''s ulterior motive as he was blinded by his


    greed.


    After hearing Eugene''smand, Darren followed him towards the staircase, as he hid his clever


    smile from him.


    "Just a moment, sir. I''m afraid I don''t recognize him. I''m sorry, sir, you can''t bring this brat with you. The


    third floor is a forbidden area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter," a man standing at the stairway


    entrance politely said to Eugene and shot a sneer at Darren.


    The abrasive manners of the man irritated Darren. Before he spoke a word, Eugene already huffed,


    "Humph? Are you trying to stop my disciple? Are you sure?"


    A couple of minutes had passed, but the two guards had no intention of letting them pass. Eugene took


    out two blue pills from his chest and threw them at the two.


    The two guards each took one pill. They smiled at Darren and finally gestured for him to pass. To avoid


    the mess, Darren hid his grump from the two guards as they were eyeing him.


    Then, Darren and Eugene started walking up the stairs. Meanwhile, Darren thought, ''This old man is


    nice to me. If he gives the rune to me obediently, I''ll not give him a hard time. Otherwise, I will have to


    use force.''


    A dark stare escaped from his eyes as he was looking at the back of Eugene who was heading


    upstairs. For mercy, he had decided not to take Eugene''s life after what thetter had done for him.


    After a long while, Darren and Eugene reached the third floor. Invisible traps and formations covered


    the whole ce. It took them a long time to get inside the pill refining chamber.


    "Mr. Chen, are you usually refining pills here alone?" Darren asked politely.


    Then, he surveyed the spacious room carefully. There were all kinds of cauldrons, herbs in the corners


    and a wood cab which was ten feet long and ten feet wide on the left. ''Perhaps that''s where he


    keeps pills, '' he thought, staring at the cab.


    "Shut up and stop your curiosity right now. Kowtow and I will acknowledge you as my disciple.


    As long as you''re loyal to me, I''ll make sure you will be a well-known pill refiner in ten years," Eugene


    scolded. ''This brat''s Spirit Power could be on par with mine. If other people meet him, they will go to


    great lengths to butter him up. Once he bes my disciple, no one can take him away from me. I will


    be praised more than ever, '' he mused.


    "Oh, there is one thing I need to remind you. Once you be my disciple, you must only focus on


    refining pills. Don''t waste time on learning rule spells like my other stupid disciples. It''s not worthy of


    your power. Do you hear me?" he added with a slight raise on his tone. At the mention of his disciples,


    Eugene couldn''t help but re up. ''They dared to think little of alchemy and learn that stupid rule spells.


    I can''t believe I''ve such ungrateful disciples.''


    "Pardon me to ask, sir, but haven''t you practiced any rule spells? I heard that rule spells are very


    powerful. They could kill people from a long distance. It would be such a waste if you haven''t tested


    your power in rule spells," Darren inquired, pretending to look curious.


    "Humph. There is no need to spend my time on worthless things. I am the best pill refiner. Many strong


    cultivators are dying to be my bodyguards. Why would I learn that?"


    Eugene boastfully responded, feeling smugly.


    "That''s great! What an advantage for me," Darren said with a hint of excitement. Eugene was stunned


    upon hearing a strange response from Darren. With a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, Darren


    said, "Now, Mr. Chen. Hand over all your runes!"


    With a blink of an eye, a de materialized in Darren''s hand as he swiftly stretched it to Eugene''s


    throat. Eugene''s eyes widened as he was terrified for his life.


    "You brat..."


    He could only utter two words to Darren. Eugene was so scared that he took several steps backward.


    Eyes filled with terror, he stuttered, "Y-you''re robbing me?"


    "I have no time to waste. Hurry up. Don''t make me lose my patience. Give me your Suppression


    Runes!" Darren shrieked, cutting to the chase.


    "What runes? What are you talking about? Where did you hear that I have those? I don''t have them.


    Even if you take my things, you can''t make it out of Medicine Pavilion," Eugene spoke out loud, rolling


    his small eyes non-stop. It was apparent that he was terrified inwardly.


    "Fine. You still have the guts, huh? If you don''t tell me, I''ll kill you and find them myself then," Darren


    threatened. Looking at Eugene who pretended to lookposed, Darren drew a faint smile before


    waving his de at him.


    ng!


    Eugene copsed on the ground and closed his eyes. In fact, Darren had no intention of taking his life.


    His de only touched Eugene''s shoulder. It was evident how Eugene was pretending to lose


    consciousness.


    "Now that you fainted, I will murder you," Darren said, observing Eugene lying on the ground


    motionless. ''He is acting. He didn''t pass out. How dare he fool me?'' Darren thought.


    "No, no, no, please don''t kill me. I don''t want to die. I''ll give you everything you want," Eugene pleaded


    as he opened his eyes abruptly. His pretension was no good in Darren''s eyes. In an instant, he got up


    and hugged Darren''s leg, crying out loud for mercy.


    With a victoriousugh, Darren said, "Give me Suppression Runes, then I will spare your life."


    "But, I don''t have runes. I''m telling you the truth. I''m a pill refiner," Eugene responded, wiping off his


    tears.


    "Looks like you''re not going to hand them to me. I''ll get them myself," Darren said, losing patience to


    Eugene.


    Then, he began to search for the runes, with too much aggressiveness to put on Eugene.


    "Perhaps they are kept in this pot," Darren said loudly, picking up a herbal pot and broke it with his


    palm. Eugene''s scream came after. He sighed and said, "Too bad luck. They are not here."


    Upon witnessing his pot was ruined, Eugene felt his heart ached. ''That''s a precious herbal pot, '' he


    eximed inside.


    ng! ng! ng!


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Darren destroyed another herbal pot and some valuable china vases.


    "Please, please stop," Eugene cried. "Then, I will give you the Suppression Runes! Stop it already!"


    This time, he wasn''t acting. Seeing that some of his lifetime collections had been destroyed broke his


    heart. It was his weaknesses.


    Feeling relieved, Darren slightly signaled to Eugene to go get Suppression Runes.


    With much reluctance, Eugene walked to the wood cab slowly. He pressed a button, and a secret


    drawer with a pile of runes inside came out.


    Darren took a stride and took away all those runes.


    "Thanks for your generosity," he said to the pill refiner. With a beaming smile on his face, Darren


    headed for the cab which contained pills. Of course, this was not yet the end of Eugene''s suffering.


    "What... What are you doing?" Eugene asked in a shaking voice, with fear written all over his face.


    Most of his treasures were already gone, and he couldn''t lose any more.


    ''Is he going to rob me of my pills?'' he wondered, nervously.


    Eugene was a pill refiner. Although the runes were precious, they didn''t mean much to him. He only


    used them to bribe some strong cultivators. However, the pills were different. For him, they were the


    most valuable things in his life.


    Without showing any emotions on his face, Darren opened the cab and saw a box. There were


    about 10, 000 trinkets of pills inside the box. Another grin escaped from his mouth.


    Without a word, Darren took out his Space Ring and stored all the pills inside it. ''I don''t have many


    superior spiritual herbs left. These pills might be more valuable than the herbs, '' he thought.


    When Eugene saw this, his face turned pale instantly. "You, you even have a Space Ring. How could


    you?" he stammered.


    Unknowingly, he initially thought Darren would only take several hundred pills. In fact, he thought that


    he didn''t know which were top-level pills. That was why he had remained quite calm.


    But now all his pills had gone. Feeling suffocated, he fell to the ground again.


    But this time, he really cked out. Eugene was no good now.


    Ignoring the unconscious Eugene, Darren looked around and put several expensive staff into his Space


    Ring. If there was still room in the ring, he would have taken everything in the room. Too bad, he


    wished he had another ring.


    He then checked the cab where the runes had been kept. He then found an old book in the bottom


    drawer. It piqued his interest immediately. "Oh? What could this be? This book is hidden here. It must


    be some treasure. It''s mine now, '' he thought devilishly.


    Darren was about to leave as he already got what he wanted. It was an aplished mission.


    However, as he turned around and walked towards the door, he heard footstepsing from outside


    the room. There was someoneing now and might witness the devastating scene.


    "I asked you to refine pills for me a couple of days ago. But you haven''t given them to me yet. How


    displeasing. What have you been doingtely?"


    A solemn voice reached Darren''s ears, making his heartbeat rumbled.


    ''It seems like he is a strong rule cultivator! This is bad!'' Darren eximed silently as he sensed the


    visitor''s strength.
