Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Pill Tower, Cairin City.

Three young geniuses stood in front of Master Mu. He was clearly worried. Looking outside once or twice, and then back at the three geniuses.

“Where the hell is he?” Master Mu muttered.

To this, Gu Hua bit her lip, but she did not respond. She might have been responsible for his death, but she wasn’t stupid enough to admit it. The moment that she did, her family would suffer the consequences of killing one of the biggest geniuses that the kingdom had ever seen!

“To think that winning would make him so arrogant!” Master Mu cursed.

“Forgive me, master, but does brother Fe- I mean, brother Tian know that he has to come to the Pill tower at this time? I don’t think that anyone told him the time or the place.” Bai Zhiqui said.

“No one told him? I thought that you went there.” Master Mu raised his eyebrows.

“I was not told to go, master. I focused on honing my skills so that I could try and defeat my opponent in this pill meet.” she said.

“All that doesn’t matter. The pill meet won’t be won if that person is not defeated. There is no way that we can win without him. We need all four to have a chance at winning.” Master Mu shook his head.

“He is just an arrogant person who has no respect for his seniors. He must be punished. He might be a genius, but there surely must be another alchemist that can take his place.” Gu Hua suggested.

“How are you so sure that he won’t come?” Master Mu glared into Gu Hua’s eyes. Just as Gu Hua froze up with terror and fear that she gave herself away, Master Mu looked away, muttering to himself.

“How could he be so irresponsible? Wait, is it possible that he took the Xiantian – no, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to take the pill already.” Master Mu thought to himself as he kept pacing around.

“Forgive me, master, but the sun is already touching the middle needle. I think that it is time that we go.” Bai Zhiqui pointed to a time measurement device that this world used.

“We should go. I can only hope that he comes out of whatever hole he is hiding in and realises that the pill meet is today.” Master Mu said.

“I knew that I should have said all this after the pill meet with Handu was over. Now, it is coming back to bite me.” Master Mu cursed.

They left the pill tower and went to the arena. Once again, this was an event that was supposed to be celebrated with such pomp and flair that it couldn’t be held anywhere else.

This was a gamble that both kingdoms took. One of them would be declared the victor, and that kingdom would win face, reputation, and would have one thing superior to the other. So both kingdoms would bring their A-game to this event.

The arena buzzed with more excitement than ever before. If the arena during the first pill meet was packed, then this place could only be described as overflowing.

With the Handu and Tiandu showdown, cultivators, ordinary mortals, and alchemists all came to this city to see this incredible performance that was about to be shown to them.

The city probably never saw this many people in its lifetime. This same match up only happened once before, and that was in Handu. So, the people of Tiandu finally got their chance to witness a chance at victory first hand. They jumped at it.

But the main perpetrator of the entire event, Master Mu, was biting his nails at the entrance. His proud and confident demeanor was completely gone now. Without his biggest alchemist on the roster, he was no longer sure of victory. In fact, he was not even sure if Tiandu would draw.

And if he went down as that alchemist who selected the team that lost against the Handu Kingdom then he would be disgraced and would lose all face.

The four people were in the preparation rooms of the arena. Although this was meant to be for warriors who fought in battle, it was furnished to the best extent, making it a very luxurious resting area.

The three pill geniuses looked at each other with heavy hearts. This was the first time that such heavy expectations stood on top of them. They were also expected to win, and couldn’t afford to give it away.

“Our opponent. You said that one person will be almost impossible to defeat if we don’t have Liu Tian. Who is he? For you to not have confidence on your own disciple.” Ding Yan asked.

“The competition that will happen now will happen four rounds. And every round is basically a test in itself. Flame control, Flame Division, Medicinal Herb extraction, and pill formation. The first three, they will be close battles. But the fourth, in the fourth round, they are bound to drop Han Dingsun, the seventh prince of Handu. The biggest alchemy genius Handu has seen, ever.” Master Mu said with a foreboding tone.

“The biggest alchemist that Handu had seen ever? Isn’t that an overstatement? In the hundreds of years that Handu had stood, there hasn’t been a single alchemist who was as talented?” Ding Yan asked, skeptical.

At this moment, the silent Gu Hua stirred.

“Han Dingsun. The genius that has a chance to enter the Ancient Realms. I don’t think that anything else needs to be said.” she whispered, but even then, she felt shivers.

“The genius that has a chance to enter the Ancient Realms? That is a big claim, Gu Hua. Who said this?” Ding Yan asked.

“Every single alchemist who has seen this mad freak perform alchemy.”
