Previously, Princess Embert was surprised to find that her fiance Shu Lian and elder Bald Kun also participated in the pill tournament. He remembered very well that the strength of the low region only had 1 kouta for the tournament.
“Daughter, you probably won't believe but rest assured that we got it in an honest way!” baldy Kun.
Princess Embert was not satisfied with Bald Kun's answer, so he looked at his fiancee that made Shu Lian wrong.
“So like this..” Shu Lian somewhat shyly told everything to Princess Embert and Prime Minister Chun Jian. They were very surprised to learn that the invitation letter basically belonged to the kingdom of the Three Clouds and Hot Wind.
“Did you really kill them both?” princess Embert found it difficult when asking Zhen Yuan directly.
Zhen Yuan casually nodded. “If they do not hinder us, maybe their rights still exist to this day. Too bad they took the wrong path”
Princess Embert glanced at Chun Jian, both of them slightly feeling uneasy knowing that Zhen Yuan was on their side.
“Send this news as soon as possible to the Queen's mother, We must use this opportunity to attack the Hot Wind and Three Cloud kingdoms before the other two kingdoms have a chance”, Prime Minister Chun Jian told one of his bodyguards.
Zhen Yuan glanced at Prime Minister Chun Jian, “I've helped you get rid of both, don't forget the pay. At least you can provide three subordinate kingdoms to be the location of the headquarters of the Eternal Medicine sect in the future”
“Master Zhen, you don't have to worry. We will definitely provide it”
Only then did Zhen Yuan feel satisfied. He then noticed around when he saw the elder from the Poisonous Insect sect watching him. Zhen Yuan gave a nod to the elder.
After being satisfied with the conversation, Zhen Yuan decided to meditate waiting for the second competition to be held. Bald Kun and Shu Lian also followed Zhen Yuan. They ran out of energy quite a lot when the first competition, the reason they were still able to endure was because the effects of the constant consumption of Soul pills made their energy tend to be more than 8th class masters.

The second round had finally begun, the previously eliminated alchemists still had a chance to watch the tournament to its completion. Under the gazes of many spectators, Master Dan Jian and the 3 elders again arrived.
Simultaneously, the tournament organizers immediately gave each participant a red and black roll. The two scrolls at first glance look similar only the color that distinguishes.
“In front of you there are two different color rolls, one is red and the other is black. Each of the scrolls has the same pill recipe but with different compositions and appendages. You have to choose which rolls will be the most suitable pill recipe and which rolls do not match. Anyone who manages to answer correctly will advance to the third competition while the wrong one will be eliminated.” Master Dan Jian explained.
The masters in the audience were slightly disappointed by the second competition. According to them, this second competition is much easier than the first competition. This time they would only use their knowledge and experience for many years to ascertain a pill recipe. Even the 8th grade alchemists were also a little convinced by him.
Master Dan Jian realized their disappointment, the first “Competition was made so difficult because it wanted to filter out many competent masters, we do not need much knowledge if refining the pill alone was still a difficulty. Moreover, you guys are looking down on us too much for being disappointed with this second competition which he thinks is too easy for a Pill master.
If you guys want to know, the contents of the scroll are none other than the legendary Soul Essence Pill recipe. Just getting it made us the great guards have to intervene, this recipe even if it is only 7th grade but the 6th grade master himself will find it difficult to make it” Master Dan Jian said in annoyance.
The audience widened upon hearing the recipe of the Soul Essence Pill, who did not recognize it. It was one of the pills that was believed to exist since ancient times but disappeared into the earth due to its high difficulty of purifying a single seed alone. Now the audience fell silent along with the participants who started scratching their forehead. Even so, they look very serious in remembering every recipe written there.
The representatives of the great clans also paid attention when they heard the Soul Essence Pill recipe. They thirstily began to memorize every ingredient and measure written in both scrolls.
Zhen Yuan on the other hand was very calm, he had seen those 2 scrolls and none of them were the original recipes of the Soul Essence Pill. He glanced at Master Dan Jian who looked confident, “These two scrolls must have been just cheaters, they might not have had the original recipe.” Zhen Yuan sneered.
