The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1195 1194 The Warrior Goes Forth



Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194: The Warrior Goes Forth Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194: The Warrior Goes Forth In the Pill Alliance branch in Flat Sea City, countless people had gathered at this moment, all to witness the alchemy competition between the two regions.

“I heard that among those representing our Pill Alliance, there is Long Zhixin, the current alchemy genius of the Long Family.”

“I’ve heard about it too, it seems that Long Zhixin will indeed be participating.”

“Now this will be interesting to watch, Long Zhixin rarely makes a move.”

“With a genius like Long Zhixin taking part, we’re sure to take a win with ease.”

“There’s also Zhang Hongtian, the most outstanding alchemy prodigy from Tang Country, who will be representing the Pill Alliance against the people of the Seven Seas.”

“I guessed that Zhang Hongtian would be there. Among the top genius alchemists of the Pill Alliance, he’s bound to be included.”

“Who’s the third person then?”

“The third person seems to be Gao Yun.”

“Gao Yun? I’ve never heard of him. Does the Pill Alliance have such a talent?”

“Actually, I know a bit about him. This Gao Yun isn’t some unknown. He had a brief moment of fame in the Pill Alliance and was then taken as a disciple by some significant figure.”

“It seems there was a Gao Yun about ten years ago, who was dazzling for a while, but then fell silent.”

“So it’s that person. After disappearing for ten years, he suddenly appears now. It’s really strange.”

“There’s nothing strange about it. This Gao Yun’s talent must be extraordinary. After being taken as a disciple by that significant figure, he laid low to cultivate his skills, and now he’s reappeared.”

“Looking at it this way, our Pill Alliance’s chances of winning are certain this time. These three individuals are all quite remarkable.”

“Alas, it’s a shame that our Pill Alliance has another unparalleled genius who couldn’t participate this time. If he was here…”

“Be silent! We must not speak of that person now, be careful of violating taboos.”

Taoist Chongyun sat upright on a chair, with Elder Tianjun opposite him; the two chatted and laughed, appearing very harmonious.

“It’s about time. The competition should start soon.” Taoist Chongyun put down his teacup and said with a smile.

Elder Tianjun nodded his head, and the two of them stood up at the same time and walked outside.

At this moment, outside was a sea of people; looking as far as the eye could see, it was all people.

A pill refining array platform had already been prepared and stood tall outside the Pill Alliance branch, with the people below unable to approach the platform, blocked ten feet away by the Power of the Array.

The people from the Seven Seas followed Elder Tianjun and Taoist Chongyun, coming outside with the members of the Pill Alliance.

“Look at these people from the Seven Seas, what kind of outfits are they all wearing?”

“You don’t understand. In the Seven Seas, these people are considered Taoist priests.”

“Taoist priests? What on earth is that?”

“Uh, I can’t really explain it, but whatever it is, they’re just a bunch of overseas barbarians.”

“This is my first time seeing people from the Seven Seas, how novel.”

“Once the battle between the two lands breaks out, you won’t find it so fresh anymore.”

Many people were discussing animatedly. Some who had recently arrived in Flat Sea City from the Nine Countries were very curious about Taoist Chongyun and others from the Seven Seas, observing them nonstop.

Taoist Chongyun and his companions ignored them as if they were invisible, having long grown accustomed to the gaze of the people from the Nine Countries. Even when they heard some derogatory remarks about people from the Seven Seas, they completely disregarded them, as if they had not heard them at all.

“Silence!” Elder Tianjun roared, his voice not loud yet reverberating throughout Flat Sea City, carrying an intangible authority that instilled fear in many martial artists and Pill Refiners in the city.

Instantly, the previously bustling Flat Sea City quieted down, particularly on the side of the Pill Alliance branch, where complete silence prevailed as everyone shut their mouths.

Taoist Chongyun’s eyelids twitched slightly. This Elder Tianjun was indeed showing his might. That shout had even affected the people from the Seven Seas; aside from Taoist Chongyun and two or three other strong figures from the Seven Seas, the rest showed expressions of fear, influenced by Elder Tianjun’s oppressive presence.

“Elder Tianjun’s Cultivation is indeed remarkable, a sight to behold,” Taoist Chongyun said, alleviating the pressure that had been imposed on the people from the Seven Seas with just a few words.

“What remarkable Cultivation? Just an old man near the end of his life, making the guests from the Seven Seas laugh,” Elder Tianjun said with a light smile.

Near the end of his life?

Taoist Chongyun sneered inwardly. This old fellow might look like he was nearing his end, but his Cultivation was not to be underestimated. Even in the Seven Seas, he could be considered a formidable opponent.

“Today, here in Flat Sea City, the Pill Alliance will have an Alchemy Tao contest with the Taoist Sect from the Seven Seas. The outcome of this contest does not concern other matters; it is merely an exchange, and all of you will bear witness to this test,” Elder Tianjun announced loudly.

“Long have we heard of the many talented Pill Refiners of the Pill Alliance, and our Taoist Sect from the Seven Seas holds them in high esteem. Today, we have come especially to learn from the Pill Refiners of the Pill Alliance and hope that they will be generous with their instruction,” Taoist Chongyun also stated.

After the two finished speaking, the atmosphere on the scene heated up. Although the words were polite, suggesting a mere exchange and a routine contest, everyone knew that the contest was anything but simple. It was a matter of pride for both sides, and even more so a test of the Pill Alliance’s dignity and reputation.

The Pill Alliance absolutely could not afford to lose this contest. If they were defeated by the Seven Seas, developing in the Seven Seas would become even more challenging.

More importantly, it was a matter of face. This was on the territory of the Nine Countries, the home turf of the Pill Alliance. If they were to lose on their own ground to foreigners, not only would the Pill Alliance be disparaged by their own people, but the people of the Nine Countries would also lambast them mercilessly.

It could be said that if the Pill Alliance really suffered a defeat this time, the reputation and status they had worked so hard to build up over the years would fall dramatically.

For the Seven Seas, brimming with confidence and having crossed the sea to challenge the Pill Alliance, this was also a tough battle. Bearing the great expectations of the three sects of the Seven Seas and shouldering a mission, they too could not afford to fail and were determined to severely damage the Pill Alliance’s momentum and fighting spirit.

Both sides were confident of victory, and although the contest had not yet begun, the air was already thick with the smell of gunpowder.

“Three matches, best of three rounds; the Pill Alliance and the Taoist Sect will each send three people to fight, with each person only battling in one round,” Elder Tianjun declared.

Taoist Chongyun stepped forward and added, “For this contest, the Pill Furnace and materials will all be the same, with no difference whatsoever, to ensure fairness and transparency.”

This was an agreement reached by both parties well beforehand: to each send three people to fight, each person only for one round, regardless of win or loss, with no further participation permitted afterward.

And having the same Pill Furnace and materials was to ensure fairness, eliminating any unfair advantage that might arise due to differences in either the Pill Furnace or the materials.

Hearing these rules, many from the Nine Countries frowned slightly. If each person could only fight in one round, then the order of who fought was somewhat tricky.

“Hui Xuzi, you will fight in the first match,” Taoist Chongyun said to the particularly gaunt and sullen-looking man.
