Chapter 406: Xuan You’s Imagination!
Although the two of them had a deep grudge, they could only forcefully suppress their anger when facing a figure like Lin Xuan.
Angering Lin Xuan would be a huge sin!
They saw the mighty Pill Kings forcefully suppress their anger and bow to Lin Xuan respectfully.
The three million plus people present revealed looks of admiration as they looked up at the white figure in the sky.
The clouds looked bright, and the sun was radiant.
Only he was insufferably arrogant.
“Greetings, Consort!”
More than three million people bowed in unison.
This made Wen Junyao and Shu Bin, who were standing beside Lin Xuan, feel proud.
After Lin Xuan returned the greeting, he brought Xuan Zhu and the others to the venue.
At this moment, it was the end of the hour and the beginning of the hour.
According to the rules of the Pill Saint Assembly, now was the time for the meeting to officially begin, because this was also the time for Zhao Qinglian to transcend the tribulation and ascend.
Phew!
......Three green lights shot into the sky from behind the Green Phoenix Mountain.
Three old men in green landed in the venue proudly.
“The three former Pill Saints are here too!”
Everyone hurriedly bowed to Zhao Youzhi, Hu Xiao, and Ke Shengbo.
According to the rules of the Pill Saint Assembly, the coronation of the new Pill Saint required three or more former Pill Saints as witnesses.
The assessment process of the Pill Saint Assembly was also supervised by the former Pill Saint.
As such, alchemy continued to be passed down for generations.
After Zhao Youzhi and the others returned the greeting, they immediately came to Lin Xuan and bowed.
“Greetings, Consort!”
Lin Xuan’s identity and status were the highest among everyone present. Even as seniors, they could only treat him politely.
“You’re too polite, seniors!” Lin Xuan returned the greeting politely.
In the eyes of Zhao Youzhi and the others, Lin Xuan’s sophisticated bearing aroused their admiration.
Because the time was up, the Pill Saint Assembly officially began.
After inviting Lin Xuan to sit in the most respected seat, Zhao Youzhi and the others sat down one after another.
Zhao Youzhi then looked around and said,
“According to the rules of the previous conventions, the selection of the Pill Saint will be carried out in the form of a ring and a round of elimination.”
“Those who want to participate in the competition can go on stage and begin!”
Someone said loudly, “The Pill Kings of the north and south are all here. How can we show off in front of an expert? Let them go on stage!”
These words attracted everyone’s agreement.
The South’s Xiaoyao Sect and the North’s Five Treasures Sect were superior to everyone present, be it in terms of cultivation or alchemy attainments.
They were all extremely powerful competitors for the Pill Saint position, so they should be the first to compete.
As for the others, they could only be spectators.
Zhao Youzhi glanced at Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde and nodded.
“Since the North and South Pill Kings have appeared, let’s compete according to the final segment of the competition!”
“Both sides have to refine ninety-nine different grades of medicinal pills according to the materials and furnace we provide within the stipulated time.”
“The winner can be crowned as the new Pill Saint!”
With that, he swung his right hand and two identical black storage rings landed on the ground.
As he summoned spiritual energy, he moved his fingers and spat out a large pile of herbs and furnaces from each storage ring.
After everyone distinguished carefully, they realized that the two piles of herbs were identical to the furnace.
“Then let’s begin.”
Zhao Youzhi flicked out a light screen that floated in midair. The names of ninety-nine medicinal pills were written densely inside.
“Please go ahead!”
“Please go ahead!”
Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde bowed to each other symbolically and started refining pills.
Ren Ruoyu and Baili Xi looked at each other with hatred.
Baili Xi gritted his teeth and said, “Do you dare to bet with me?”
Ren Ruoyu said, “Bet on what?”
Baili Xi said, “If my father wins, you have to stay away from Yanyue’s Holy Maiden from now on. Otherwise, I will stay away from her!”
“Deal!” Ren Ruoyu said confidently.
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde with extremely nervous and expectant expressions.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde had already refined the first medicinal pill.
Golden Crow Pill!
This pill was a low-grade earth-rank pill. Ordinary pill refiners needed twelve hours to complete it, and prodigies needed an hour to complete it.
Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde completed it in ten seconds.
Such a fast technique made everyone present praise them.
“As expected of the North and South’s famous Pill Kings. His pill refinement ability is simply shocking!”
At this moment, everyone was even more certain that one of the North and South Pill Kings would definitely become the new Pill Saint.
Zhao Youzhi pointed with his right hand and brought their Golden Crow Pills in front of him. He looked at them with the other two Pill Saints.
“These two medicinal pills are completely the same in terms of quality. The time you two used to refine them is also completely the same.”
“So there’s no winner yet. Let’s continue!”
Next, Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde continued refining pills,
round after round, from low-grade earth-rank to medium-grade Saint-rank.
After a total of 98 rounds, the two of them were on par with each other!
Everyone looked up and saw that there was only one medicinal pill left on the screen.
High-grade saint-rank Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill!
“The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is an extremely difficult immortal pill to refine. The chances of success are only one in tens of millions.”
“In the past hundred thousand years, anyone who can refine this pill will definitely be able to become a Pill Saint. It seems like I can witness the birth of the Pill Saint next!”
Everyone discussed.
Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde didn’t hesitate and immediately circulated all the true essence in their bodies to raise their essence, energy, and spirit to the peak.
He began to refine the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill in the most perfect state.
Seeing how intense their competition was and how anxious the atmosphere was, Xuan Zhu and the others were also deeply inspired.
Xuan Zhu pulled Lin Xuan’s sleeve. “Father, I feel that pill refinement is really impressive!”
Xuan Xi nodded. “Yes, yes. I heard that it’s very difficult to become an alchemist!”
Xuan Han’s dark eyes darted around. “If only I could refine pills for those flowers and grass. This would make them even more beautiful.”
Xuan You narrowed her eyes. “If I can refine pills, I’ll refine a pill that can let demon beasts grow up.”
The little girl made up her mind and asked the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python to eat her medicinal pill and grow taller than the sky. Then, she would ask it to call her sister.
That feeling was simply too satisfying!
Seeing that the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill wouldn’t come out anytime soon, Lin Xuan smiled dotingly.
“If you want to learn, Daddy can teach you now.”
He believed that with Xuan Zhu and the others’ talent, they would definitely be able to achieve impressive achievements in alchemy.
Now that they had been infected by the Pill Saint Assembly, Lin Xuan naturally had to help them take the first step in pill refinement.
“Yay, Daddy is the best!”
The little girls were instantly overjoyed.
As long as their father taught them, they would definitely become the most powerful alchemists!
Shu Bin went forward and took out four identical small cauldrons with a smile.
“Princesses, I have four Dharma artifacts here. I can let each of you have one.”
He was overjoyed. The Tongsheng Cauldrons he had could be used to please Lin Xuan. It was really worth it!
“Father, can we take it?”
The little girls asked Lin Xuan obediently.
Lin Xuan nodded. “Sure.”
The Tongsheng Cauldron was just an ordinary Dharma artifact. Since Shu Bin was so attentive, Lin Xuan accepted his good intentions.
Shu Bin was overjoyed. He thought to himself that since Lin Xuan had accepted his things, it meant that he was qualified to cozy up to him.
Seeing his daughters each carrying a small cauldron with shocked expressions, Lin Xuan said dotingly,
“Babies, Daddy will teach you all the basics of pill refinement now.”
“Okay!”
Xuan Zhu and the others widened their eyes with excited expressions.
Just an hour after Lin Xuan taught the little girls how to refine pills, the venue finally became lively again.
“A purple light suddenly appeared. It seems like the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is about to be completed!”
Amidst the cries, everyone looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde.
The furnace in front of them was filled with purple light and fragrant mist.
Streaks of mysterious power pierced through the furnace and rippled in midair, shocking everyone.
Ren Ruoyu couldn’t help but clench her fists and pray to herself. “Daddy must win!”
Baili Xi also gritted his teeth and trembled with excitement. “Father, let the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill out quickly!”
Bang! Bang!
Under everyone’s anticipation, the two furnaces exploded at the same time.
Purple light suddenly gathered.
Two purple medicinal pills broke through the furnace at the same time and floated in midair.
“They actually refined it at the same time!”
“My God, this grand event is very different from usual!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
They thought that the outcome would be decided in this round, but who knew that the South’s Xiaoyao Sect and the North’s Five Treasures Sect would still be tied!
Zhao Youzhi hurriedly brought the two medicinal pills over. After carefully identifying them with the other two Pill Saints, he said in shock,
“The two medicinal pills are completely identical. It’s still a draw!”
He, Hu Xiao, and Ke Shengbo stood up at the same time and exchanged glances.
“In order to determine the winner, let’s refine the Green Phoenix Pill next!”
