Chapter 263 Trouble At The Buddha Hall

Chapter 263 Trouble at the Buddha Hall

"Oh, it worked?" Billy raised an eyebrow and took the pill box, pulling out a pill from inside.

He sniffed it first before swallowing it in one gulp. Soon after, a cool and refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, circulating through his meridians and leaving him feeling clear-headed and refreshed.

A few minutes later, a surge of energy flowed into his Dantian.

"How is it, boss?" Stout asked with a smile.

"Hmm! It's not bad." Billy nodded slightly satisfied.

"Boss, your standards are too high. This is the Chi Condensing Pill that I spent so much effort refining! In terms of quality alone, this is at least sixth-grade level. And you're just saying 'not bad'!" Stout was quite disappointed.

As the name suggested, the Chi Condensing Pill could condense chi within one's body. During battle between two opponents who were evenly matched in strength and skill level-wise; whoever could maintain their chi for longer would have an advantage over their opponent. Chi Condensing Pills allowed martial artists to recover some of their chi in a very short amount of time which could be life-saving during critical moments in battle. The amount of chi recovered depended on the grade level of the pill itself, which ranged from first to ninth grade with first being highest grade while ninth being lowest grade. Pills at the ninth-grade level were the most available ones on the market; The best ones were only eighth-grade.

Stout's ability to refine sixth-grade pills was no easy feat as most commonly found pills were only ninth-grade or lower grades with best ones being eighth-grade at most; however, he had previously

refined seventh-grade healing pellets before this one.

"A sixth-grade Chi Condensing Pill can only be effective against Battle Gods or below-level martial artists. You're a blessed talent of Secret Essences that comes once every few hundred years. Refining six-graded pills isn't something worth boasting about." Billy glanced at Stout coldly before continuing, "If it were your sister instead she would be able to refine fifth or even fourth-graded pills."

"Well," Stout pouted, "You always compare me to my sister. It's too discouraging!"

"Keep up the good work, man!" Billy patted him on shoulder, "But there is something worth praising here, you managed to refine this after all."

"Figure out how to get some raw materials from Secret Essences so we can mass-produce these things for White Tiger."

"I see." Stout nodded vigorously.

...

That night, Billy had just finished dinner and was about to play with Tasha's toys when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Donald calling.

"Donald," Billy answered the phone.

"Sir, there's an urgent matter I need to discuss with you." Donald said in a slightly hurried tone.

"Please go ahead," Billy responded. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"The domain lord of Buddha Hall, Samuel Watson, has run into trouble. According to our sources, he has been kidnapped by people from Place of Darkness."

"Hmm?" Billy was slightly taken aback. "When did this happen?"

"We just received the news ourselves, it happened about half an hour ago." Donald continued.

"Samuel Watson is mainly responsible for external affairs in the western half of the eastern hemisphere. He holds great significance for Glavale, and this incident could very well be caused by some Western countries."

"I see," Billy replied firmly.

The west area of the eastern hemisphere was a strategic cooperation area for Glavale and had always been coveted by many countries over these years due to conflicts arising from this region.

As for the person named Samuel Watson, Billy also had some knowledge of him. He was a high- ranking officer who had come out of the War Department, known for his unwavering determination and strong character.

"As things are quite urgent now and we're worried that sending someone over from Glavale will take too long, I'm calling you to see if White Tiger can launch a rescue mission there!" Donald continued speaking on the phone without pause or hesitation.

"Understood!" Billy nodded before asking further, "Do you know which faction is behind this incident specifically?"

Although Billy didn't have much good impression towards Buddha Hall internally but since its domain lord got abducted now then it would become a big deal for the country externally. Furthermore, Samuel Watson happened to be one of those few individuals whom he held favorable opinions towards within Buddha Hall.

"For now we're not sure yet, I'll send you coordinates of where everything happened later." Donald replied promptly.

"All right! I'll inform White Tiger immediately!" After saying so, Billy hung up his phone.

Two minutes later, coordinates were sent over regarding where everything took place at. Billy then picked up his phone again and dialed White Tiger's number.

"Boss!" The moment after dialing out only rang once before White Tiger's voice could already be heard on the other end.

"White Tiger, there's something important that needs your immediate attention!" After describing what had happened with Samuel Watson briefly on call, Billy instructed him accordingly without wasting any time or beating around bush.

"These people are asking for trouble!" After hearing Billy's words, White Tiger exclaimed loudly, "Boss, I'll make sure of it!"

"This could very well be instigated by a major power in the west. The force behind it should not be underestimated." Billy cautioned.

"Understood!" White Tiger responded loudly.

After a brief pause, he seemed to remember something and continued speaking, "Oh yeah, boss. I have something to report to you."

"What is it?"

"Do you remember the map that Rakshasa told you about before?"

"The map?" Billy was momentarily confused. "Yes, I remember. What about it?"

"I don't know how the word got out but now everyone in Place of Darkness is saying that Rakshasa has obtained that map. I believe it won't be long before someone comes looking for us." White Tiger

replied.

Billy furrowed his brow slightly. "Have you found out what exactly that map relates to?"

"I had someone look into it," White Tiger replied. "Although we can't confirm yet, it should have something to do with the fall of a powerful figure and those people probably want to go see if there are any treasures left behind."

"Oh?" Billy was slightly taken aback, since he hadn't expected this turn of events.

"There have been quite a few people hanging around near Rakshasa Hall lately, they're probably here for this matter!" White Tiger continued speaking.

"Any news from Sanctum of Darkness?" Billy frowned slightly.

"Not yet." After pausing briefly, White Tiger added, "But they should also have some interest in this map."

"I see." Billy nodded slightly. "You go take care of Samuel Watson's business first, call me if anything comes up."

"Understood!" After finishing his sentence, White Tiger hung up the phone.

Billy then sent over some coordinates via text message.

"Billy, is there something wrong?" Harleen asked after seeing him put away his phone.

"Yeah! There's been some trouble at camp." Billy nodded.

"How serious is it? I can tell from your expression." Harleen could tell from Billy's face that things weren't good.

"It's not too bad!" Billy gave her a smile. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Honey, why don't you play with our daughter while I go out?"

He had an uneasy feeling in his heart. Although he couldn't put his finger on it, Billy had a feeling that something was about to happen!
