Chapter 37: A Single Immortal Pill Subdues the Pope

Her brother... it wasn't that Jiang Wang looked down on people, but what kind of pathetic trash was that?

As far as Hu Liena herself had described, the strongest figures in her current world were nothing more than her master’s circle. And within the Spirit Hall, the only powerhouse Hu Liena could trust was her master, Pope Bibi Dong.

"Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: 'Immortal Master, you are absolutely right. I shall ask my master to guard me now.'"

"Guardian of the Southern Heaven Gate: 'Very well.'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'Wuwuwu, I want to eat an immortal pill too.'"

"Queen of the Snake People: 'Stop your blubbering. Didn't you already eat one immortal pill? Even if it was a semi-finished product, didn't you benefit immensely? Aren't you considered a powerhouse in your world now?'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'Hehe, not quite, just a minor powerhouse.'"

"Queen of the Snake People: 'And you're still not satisfied?'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'Human greed is boundless!'"

"Old Celestial Master: 'Hearing little Miss Wuxu say this, I am becoming increasingly curious about the Immortal’s pills. It is a pity that my own attempts at alchemy yield such poor results. A real shame.'"

"Lin, My Lin: 'Can the Immortal Master’s pills cause one’s strength to skyrocket?'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'Well, you only just realized that?'"

"Lin, My Lin: 'I... Immortal Master, please bestow upon me one immortal pill. I will do anything in return.'"

"Guardian of the Southern Heaven Gate: '......'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'The Immortal Master’s rule is that ten spirit stones can be exchanged for one immortal pill! Because Hu Liena was the first group member to exchange for one, she has the privilege of customizing it. Those who follow won't have that kind of luck.'"

"Lin, My Lin: 'Understood. How does one acquire spirit stones?'"

"Queen of the Snake People: 'If I told you everything, you would never grow.'"

"Lin, My Lin: '......'"

"Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: 'Everyone, I have successfully convinced my master. I am starting the live stream now! Welcome to watch, especially you, Immortal Master—your presence is most welcome!'"

"Guardian of the Southern Heaven Gate: 'I have entered. Let us see how this pill affects you so I may have a better understanding.'"

"Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: 'Understood, Immortal Master. I am going to consume it now.'"

Soon, the group members entered the stream. The scene showed an antique-style room. A girl with a seductive appearance sat cross-legged on a bed, and standing beside her was a tall, regal woman. The regal woman had long, flowing hair and was breathtakingly beautiful; she held a scepter symbolizing the authority of the Pope, and a faint pressure emanated from her entire being.

The girl had black hair and a near-perfect figure. At first glance, her appearance wasn't particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, one could feel a strange charm about her. Furthermore, her features possessed an aggressive quality, like a wolf coiled and ready to strike; combined with her allure, it created a striking sense of beauty.

"Greetings, Immortal Master, and greetings, fellow group members!" Hu Liena’s voice sounded somewhat husky, yet this raspiness carried a unique charm.

The Pope beside her watched with curiosity as her disciple spoke to thin air. "Little Na, you are communicating with those friends of yours, aren't you?" the Pope asked inquisitively.

Hu Liena nodded at her master: "Yes, Master. Everyone is watching me."

"I see. Then go ahead and consume the immortal pill bestowed upon you by the Immortal," the Pope said calmly.

"Yes, Master."

"Everyone, I am about to swallow the immortal pill."

In the stream, Hu Liena conjured a small jade bottle from thin air. It was a simple storage vessel Jiang Wang had crafted on a whim—it wasn't worth much, but to Hu Liena, it was a precious gift from the Immortal.

Hu Liena stared intently at the jade bottle. Inside, a fox essence pill emanated a miraculous glow, enchanting and releasing an infinite charm. Even through the jade bottle, Hu Liena and the other group members could sense how terrifying the power contained within the pill truly was!

The Pope, acting as her guardian, saw her pupils constrict. She was not Hu Liena; while Hu Liena could only sense a surge of power, the Pope could perceive a profound terror emanating from within the bottle.

It was almost...

Suddenly, the Pope saw a massive nine-tailed red fox manifest behind Hu Liena, who was still holding the bottle. The creature wasn't large, but the power it contained and its inherent nobility made even the Pope feel an urge to bow her head. She fought the impulse, staring straight at the fox’s phantom with sharp, fierce eyes. She was a Pope—how could she lower her head to an unknown soul beast!

Hu Liena stared at the fox pill in the bottle with dazed eyes; her pupils dilated as if she had lost consciousness. Like a mindless bird, she mechanically removed the stopper, and a sudden rush of medicinal fragrance soared into the sky, filling the antique room.

As the scent permeated the air, the image of the nine-tailed red fox became increasingly vivid. At that moment, the Pope could no longer resist the urge to lower her head! She bowed, performing a gesture of submission toward the nine-tailed red fox.

The nine-tailed red fox forming above Hu Liena’s head seemed quite satisfied with the Pope’s action; it narrowed its eyes, lifted its head, and let out a fox cry.

The group members in the chat erupted in exclamation.

"Wastrel Prophet: 'Good heavens! The pill refined by the Immortal Master actually made the Pope bow her head!'"

"Queen of the Snake People: 'Absurd! A single pill made a top-tier powerhouse of that world bow her head!? What kind of concept is this? One pill is stronger than an entire world!'"

"Old Celestial Master: 'One pill has traversed worlds and made one of the world's strongest kneel... Immortal Master, I am filled with the utmost admiration.'"

"Little Spider: 'Incredible. How did that red fox grow nine tails? And why would that woman bow to a phantom of a fox? The fox even seemed satisfied by her action!'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'That woman is one of the strongest in Hu Liena's world.'"

"Lin, My Lin: 'Immortal Master... can your immortal pills resurrect the dead?'"

"Little Spider: 'You want to resurrect someone too?'"

"Wastrel Prophet: 'Stop the chatter and watch Hu Liena finish the pill!'"

"Lin, My Lin: 'Understood, I will stop talking.'"

After a brief chat in the stream, Hu Liena, her consciousness nearly blurred, pinched the Tushan Fox Pill and placed it directly into her mouth.

A look of terror appeared on the Pope’s beautiful face. "What is going on with this fox pill?" she thought, filled with shock and fear. When the nine-tailed red fox had appeared from the pill just moments ago, she had been completely suppressed and unable to move.

How could this be! She was a Titled Douluo! A Titled Douluo, forced to bow before a single pill.
