The screen continued on as different beings from the myriad races talked with each other.

Everyone at least expected some discomfort from Wang, but to their surprise, he didn't show any emotions as he kept flying with his eyes closed.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes in a relaxed manner and took out another pill. It seemed like there were no mishaps during the pill's consumption.

The new pill he took out seemed even more mysterious and beautiful than the last one. The similarly gold-colored pill wasn't just pure gold this time.

Gold colored pill seemed to have mysterious inscriptions flying on it. Strange markings kept changing places on the golden surface of the pill.

''Mhmm.'' Wang smacked his lips in delight as if he forgot the situation he was in. The fragrance of the pill almost seemed to pull him towards the mysterious pill.

-----

''Pill veins?!'' a shout was heard in the silent space.

''That must be the legendary Golden Vein Pill! It reconstructs not only your actual veins, but also your spiritual veins to reinforce them to the highest possible level without injuring them! It's another legendary pill!'' one particular alchemist wanted to bash his head into the wall as he saw how Wang ate those pills so casually as if they were some generic spiritual regeneration pills.

''Pill veins normally indicate the quality of the pill. There are some exceptions like the Pure Golden Pill, but the legendary Golden Vein Pill just fits the name. It can increase both your spiritual cultivation talent, and your physical cultivation talent. Only the future heir of the Heavenly Gold Palace could touch such a precious treasure.'' he continued without waiting for someone to ask why they were so excited about it.

''Alright, enough gushing over for him and his pills.''

''What would you know, you savage? Those pills are one of the biggest reasons why the Heavenly Gold Palace became the strongest sect under the Empire. If we can reverse engineer a single one of them, we van then...'' the talker started to giggle in pleasure as if he couldn't even imagine the glorious future that awaited him.

''Enough.''

--------

The screen continued on as Wang kept stuffing pills into his mouth one after another.

Beings from the myriad races once thought that he might explode himself from all the high-quality pills he was stuffing into his stomach, but no. His strength just kept soaring steadily without any shown side effects.

His skin looked clearer, his eyes shined brighter, and his aura was a lot stronger than what it was just a few hours ago.

His strength was already above the strength of a normal Deity Ascension cultivator, but now, his aura and presence alone were enough to convince people that he was lying about his 'Deity Ascension' level cultivation. But if anyone looked closer, a little bit more careful, they could see it. Despite his strength being unusually high both in quantity and quality, he still had the aura of a Deity Ascension cultivator.

''Mhmm, peak Deity Ascension huh? Not bad, not bad, not bad...'' he talked to himself in a daze as the majority of his focus was inside his body.

''I can't just go guns blazing into that place now, can I?'' he said to himself as he stroked his chin in a thoughtful manner.

''Even I have to admit, those Imperial people are a bit above my weight, even if I got stronger just now.''

He thought about changing his appearance but dismissed it as it would be revealed the moment he made his purpose clear anyway.

The screen showed a different place.

Perhaps because his karma was so entangled with her, but for some reason, the screen started showing a girl instead of the boy.

The same girl from the beings outside the screen saw a few hours ago. She seemed to have grown up a little.

Her silky dark hair was the same, and her slender body was the same, yet many things were different.

Her energetic eyes seemed to have turned into orbs cold enough to freeze the souls of her victims.

The small amount of fat on her face was gone, along with her cuteness. Now, she was an elegant beauty that made people feel superior not just with her appearance, but also with her temperament.

Her slender, white, and long hands were tied together with some strange device that had runes floating around it.

The screen got farther away from her to show where she stood, and what she looked at.

She was in an airship. Just in front of her was a burly man with a nonchalant, relaxed attitude.

Her murderous gaze looked as if it was going to tear through the man, but he didn't seem to care.

''Young prince takes good care of his concubines, you know. You should be glad, lotsa woman wants that privilige.'' he said with a small yawn.

The cold beauty opened her mouth for a second before closing it again.

'It's not worth wasting my breath over it. I should focus on the magical tools that locked my cultivation.' she shut her eyes.

Cough*

''Isn't that the... Ice Empress?''

''No way. You would say that to any beautiful woman you see, you horny bafoon.''

''No, no! Hear me out, just add a veil to her face... and voila. That's the Ice Empress.''

''I have seen tens of women like her before. Ice cold beauties like her most of the time act similarly, that's probably why you are confused. Now, shut your mouth before the Ice Empress shut it permanently for you.''

[We got the All Hail Chinese Drugs! trope, Kidnapped Beauty! trope, Ice cold jade beauty! trope, face slapping trope(is that even a trope? It's like the blood of a Chinese story by now) and a few others. I wonder how many other tropes I can fit into this beauty?]
