Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 516 - A Pill Gets Out of the Pill Furnace
As the sound of bells coming out of nowhere rang out, thousands of cultivators from all directions instantly shot towards the Pill Experts competition stage. Qin Shan and San Jinsheng million were among those cultivators.
Currently on the stage of the competition, there were three places that each had been filled by someone. In front of them were three pill furnaces that were pitch-black in color. Not only that, some Level 8 spiritual plants also floated near the pill furnace.
“As I have said two days ago, the second half assessment is to make a Solitary Blood Pill. The pill that has the highest quality will be the winner. And who will be the winner, will be given a pile of spiritual plants Level 8 and some spiritual plants Level 9.” said Xi Shui who was on the stage loudly.
As Xi Shui said this, Dong Fengyuan, Yao Ming, and Han Jiao felt the spirit in their bodies had risen. Stacks of spiritual plants Level 8 and some Level 9?
Not only were the three Tier 8 Pill Experts alone extremely shocked by the reward Xi Shui was about to give. Even the cultivators who were under the stage were also greatly shocked. One stalk of a Level 9 spiritual plant alone was already an expensive and rare one, let alone 'some'. Most likely it was even enough to rival the pure wealth of a Heavenly God.
“In this second half, the rules are quite simple. The ingredients to make the Solitary Blood Pill have already been prepared for you, not only that, I have also prepared one grade 8 pill furnace each. Supposedly, since the equipment used was exactly the same, the quality of your pills would later be determined from your own Dao Pill insights. If one of you fails in pill-making, then you are declared dead. Then, I only gave you guys ten hours to complete this Solitary Blood Pill.” after Xi Shui said the rules in this second round, he glanced towards the three Pill Experts nearby
Previously, Xi Shui had given the recipe of the Solitary Blood Pill for free to Dong Fengyuan and the others. Now he had even prepared a spiritual plant for free. One might think of Xi Shui as a generous person. But actually not so.
In Xi Shui's heart. The purpose of holding this competition was to learn the pill refining techniques of these Pill Experts. Even though he was a Tier 9 Pill Expert, he still had his own flaws. By learning one's pill refining technique, Xi Shui would gain enlightenment to cover up those flaws. In fact, this competition was a mutual thing.
“Alright, if there are no questions, then I hereby declare the second round of the Pilgrims competition begins!” after being silent for some time, Xi Shui finally started the second half.
As this happened, Dong Fengyuan, Yao Ming, and Han Jiao began to purify the spiritual plants inside the furnace. During these two days, they had already studied the Solitary Blood pill recipe the entire time. That's why they won't believe that they will fail at this process of refining spiritual plants.
The Solitary Blood Pill was made from three extremely rare Tier 8 spiritual plants. There was no need to ask what the price of each of those spiritual plants was, as one stalk would most likely not grow within a hundred thousand years. The wealth of a Heavenly God alone might still not be enough to obtain a few stalks of spiritual herbs like this.
When these three Tier 8 Pill Experts purified their spiritual plants, all of the cultivators who were under the stage took a cold breath. Although it was faint, they could sense the astonishing aura of spirituality from the Heaven and Earth energies. Apparently, these three Tier 8 Pill Masters were already almost comparable to the laws of Heaven and Earth itself.
As Qin Shan witnessed this, he also secretly felt extremely stunned. Subconsciously, he began to form the foundations of the Dao Pill within his body. Watching this kind of competition was indeed very beneficial for him.
Time passed by, and it did not feel like six hours had passed. Currently, the three Tier 8 Pill Experts had already arrived at the pill compaction step. This step was the most difficult step when concocting a pill. If a Pill Expert failed in the pill compaction process, then their pill furnace would explode and give off a charred smell.
*duaar!* When Han Jiao's pill exploded, everyone was shocked. Even the concentration of Dong Fengyuan and Yao Ming were disturbed due to this incident.
“Han Jiao failed to make Solitary Blood Pills during pill compaction process!” on the other hand Xi Shui began to declare that Han Jiao was disqualified.
When this happened, all the cultivators who were under the stage felt a little disappointed. But at the same time, they were also excited. A Pill Expert had been disqualified, now only two Pill Experts remained. Everyone became curious, which one of them would finish the Solitary Blood Pill first?
“What the fuck? Why when the pill compaction process fails, the pill made will explode?” qin Shan asked in astonishment. He had never known it before.
“Pill density not only condenses the essence of the spiritual plant alone, but also condenses the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. Wrong in the slightest, that densified spiritual energy could explode and make the pill compaction fail.” San Jinsheng explained quickly. In his heart, he also did not expect that Han Jiao would fail in the pill compaction process.
On the other hand, Dong Fengyuan was still trying to condense his pills. As he rummaged through the pill furnace with a hand of elemental energy, an aura of spirituality from Heaven and Earth instantly surged. Finally the pill compaction process was successfully completed by Dong Fengyuan perfectly.
When this happened everyone's eyes turned to Dong Fengyuan. This one Pill Expert was truly shocking, it had only been around 6 hours, yet Dong Fengyuan had apparently completed the pill compaction stage.
Keep in mind, the pill they were making right now was the Solitary Blood Pill, a pill that was a pseudo Level 9. Even the number one Pill Expert in the Three Realm, Xi Shui could barely condense pills with this short amount of time.
A short while later, Yao Ming had also finally completed his pill compaction. The Heaven and Earth spirit aura of his pill was not much inferior to that of Dong Fengyuan's pill.
After three hours, the two finally arrived at the pill-taking process. Although this was their first time making a Solitary Blood Pill, they had succeeded in just one try.
On the furnace belonging to Yao Ming, came out three grains of blood-red pills that emitted an abundant energy. Meanwhile, on Dong Fengyuan's pill furnace, there were only two blood-red pill grains.
As Yao Ming watched this, he chuckled inwardly. Three grains of Solitary Blood pills and two grains of Solitary Blood pills, it was already very clear who the winner was at the moment.
