Chapter 786 Chapter 786 Pawn Activated
"What happened?!" The old man tried to open his mouth to say these words but all he got was the constant echo that rang in his ears. He was buzzed and dizzy at the same time.
The broken nose on him scattered copious blood on the floors but still, this old man opened his eyes to get a better handle on the situation.
The moment he did, he saw a young handsome man in a familiar insignia on his cultivator's robe.
"POP!"
"POP!"
"POP!" The old man took some precious medicinal pills from his storage ring and ate them one after another.
The blood flow from his shattered face mended and he was back again to a better condition in but mere breaths.
"Junior! You dare!" The old man roared in anger.
He did not know what had happened to him but seeing that our bored gamer practically had no cultivation base, this emboldened him enough to act out on his pain and shame.
"BANG!" The old man launched into an offensive and his hands turned into gripping motion which had no doubt wanted to squeeze the neck of our very own protagonist.
Unfortunately for this old man, he got the surprise of a lifetime in the next moment.
"Insolent devil." Clark muttered and summoned the burning flames at his fingertips.
"BOOM!" The old man felt the temperature rise around him and then it was all too late for him to back out.
His body got slapped by an invisible force that had returned him to whence he came. The old man rolled like a dead ball and the place got destroyed even further.
But different from the last, the sad cultivator was already burning in the aftermath of his deed. The late reaction he had was terrible to the extreme.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The old man was in flames. His skin went out in a blaze of glory. Same with his eyes and hair. Still, he lived throughout the ordeal.
It was easy to see that this old man was indeed not simple.
"DING!" Our bored gamer stopped when the old man was only a few seconds away from death. Clark would of course not kill the pawn in his palms.
"Tell me your name, old boy." Our good gamer asked. He got his answer way later after that.
"HAK!"
"HAK!"
"HAK!"

...
The old man coughed but he was not stupid to talk first. He got another set of healing pills and was recuperated well enough in time that he could move his tongue and lips again.
"This fool's name is Shen Wu, Senior. Please spare my life." The old man replied weakly and prostrated on the ground in a total act of subservience.
Although he was the master of the Tomb Stone Cult but he still acted like a dead dog in front of our very own protagonist. There was no dignity in death.
This old man did not want to see his maker today. Thus, Shen Wu could only bow his head in defeat.
"I want you to do something trivial for me, Shen Wu. I wonder if you are willing to work for me for some time." Clark asked gently.
"This unworthy old dog will do anything for you, Senior! Just say it and it shall be done!" The old man Shen Wu shouted without raising his head in the process.
To say otherwise would be the last act of a dumb fool in the end.
"Hmmmm..." Our bored gamer nodded and began to instruct what he wanted from this old pawn.
He has of course given his first servant slave some unbalanced cheats in order to hasten the long journey ahead of him.
As for our good gamer, he returned back towards the Pill God Sect in peace.
There was nothing for him to do but wait for results and dally around while Shen Wu did all the carrying in the team.
"It's really great to deal with sensible people." Clark could not help but laugh at his ingenuity.
A day later after this incident, an old man with a mysterious cloaked figure behind him conquered kingdoms and big sects left and right.
This cloaked figure was the help that our bored gamer sent along the way. It was a mindless elemental summon that would do simple commands such as slaughter and stop.
This was the perfect support that Shen Wu could want in this quest. It did not need telling that both of them pierced through any resistance without any difficulties at all.

"Brother Ye Ming, have you heard about what happened yesterday?"
"Geng Ju suffered a fatal mistake while making a complicated pill recipe. He died."
"I got news that you have made a breakthrough in your alchemy level, Brother Ye Ming."
"And that you could now create even the most complicated pills in the mission all."
"You are really the best, Brother Ye Ming." The beautiful Qin Yu talked while our bored gamer replied from time to time.
Since there was nothing else to do, Clark has all the time in the world to relax and enjoy this life. He and Qin Yu talked and drank tea together.
This was an occasion that had rarely been done before since the original Ye Ming was quite crazy over his studies in pill making.
"You can also follow in my footsteps, Yu'er. Don't worry, for I shall teach you some of the things that I've learned from my master."
Clark replied and continued to build up on his imaginary master.
It was after all hard to believe for one to improve this fast without the proper guidance of an Elder or some fortuitous encounter in the past.
"Then I will be in your care from now on, Brother Ye Ming." Qin Yu blushed and shyly lowered her gaze on the table. She was so innocent and was too easy to read.
Luckily for her, Clark was not planning to pluck her sweetness this early in the game. The road was still long for them and the adventures ahead were sure to be fun and exciting.
