Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Have You Changed?_i
Translator: 549690339 |
Lord City was in turmoil—an Immortal Monarch had triggered a Pill Tribulation, and what’s more, he had achieved enlightenment under it!
More importantly, those myriad Immortal Pills in the sky, weren’t there perhaps over a million of them?
“Isn’t this too terrifying? Producing over a million Immortal Pills in one go? Is that even possible?”
In the city, there were tens of thousands of immortals, but even though they were well-informed and knowledgeable, they had never heard of someone concocting so many Immortal Pills at once.
As the Pill Tribulation struck, a vast number of Immortal Pills turned to ash, causing heartache for countless onlookers.
Within the Pill League, even Gu Sanqiu was dumbfounded, not to mention the other Pill Masters.
Especially Vice Alliance Leader Lin, who at this moment looked worse than if he had consumed excrement.
When Li Cheng took a hundred thousand portions of materials, Lin had been overjoyed, looking forward to seeing the jokes on Gu Sanqiu and Li Cheng, but now, the advent of over a million Immortal Pills—how many points would that accumulate?
With just this furnace of Immortal Pills, Li Cheng, whom he had seen as a joke, now firmly secured first place.
“You all are only focusing on the quantity of those Immortal Pills, haven’t you noticed the quality? Look again!” Gu Sanqiu suddenly noticed something, swallowing hard as he spoke.
“Top grade! They’re all top-grade, how is that possible?” Vice Alliance Leader Lin exclaimed.
Even if they were only low grade, after tallying the points, he would have secured first place easily, let alone that these were all top grade.
“What’s top grade? Vice Alliance Leader Lin, look—there are nearly thirty thousand King Grade, and almost a thousand Emperor Grade!” Someone cried out.
Gu Sanqiu felt as though his heart had leapt out, “A lot were destroyed after the thunder tribulation just now, but those Emperor Grade Immortal Pills, they evolved, turning into the legendary Emperor Grade!”
“Haha, worthy of the future Alliance Hierarch, actually refining Emperor Grade Immortal Pills—so that’s how Emperor Grade Pills come to be. Alchemy with heaven and earth, wonderful!”
Gu Sanqiu’s laughter rang out, uncontrollably infusing it with Immortal Yuan, making his voice heard for tens of thousands of miles.
Lord City, already boiling over, erupted even more, with countless people converging on the Pill League, eager to witness the Emperor Grade Immortal Pills up close.
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand, his robust Immortal Yuan surged forth, setting up restrictions within a ten-mile radius, “No one is to come within five miles!”
BOOM!
The Pill Tribulation continued, each strike destroying over one hundred thousand Immortal Pills, causing sorrow for all who watched.
Finally, the Pill Tribulation dispersed, and the area around Li Cheng was completely enveloped in dense Pill Qi, along with the mighty power of thunder and lightning still lingering.
As always, those Pill Qi were fully absorbed by the remaining Immortal Pills, and in an instant, Emperor Grade Immortal Pills were born continuously!
In no time, all Immortal Pills stabilized, and the only thing that remained was the sound of countless incredulous gasps.
“Over five hundred thousand top-grade, more than twenty-three thousand King Grade, five hundred and eighty-seven Emperor Grade!”
Gu Sanqiu announced the count and quality of the pills in a loud voice, his tone brimming with thick pride and smugness.
That tone of smugness was as if to say, “See? These are the Immortal Pills crafted by the future Alliance Hierarch of our Pill League!”
Gu Sanqiu looked towards Vice Alliance Leader Lin, “What are you staring for? Tally the score!”
Vice Alliance Leader Lin’s eyelids twitched, his mouth opened, and with difficulty, he let out his voice, “This… there’s no need for scoring, right? Young Master Li deserves to be the undisputed number one in the Alchemy Dao Conference, I believe no one has any objections, right?”
The main reason being, there had been no precedent for how many points an Emperor Grade pill was worth!
“How can we not tally the score? There are still two more rounds of competition. What if someone objects? Are you going to be responsible?” Gu Sanqiu scoffed.
Vice Alliance Leader Lin frowned, “Then shall we calculate it as ten points for top grade, a hundred points for King Grade, and ten thousand points for Emperor Grade?”
“Are you asking the Alliance Hierarch? Is this trivial matter something for the Alliance Hierarch to worry about? If the Alliance Hierarch has to worry about this, what use are you?” Gu Sanqiu snorted coldly.
Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin’s frown deepened, and after hesitating a few seconds, he communicated through a voice transmission, “Alliance Hierarch, forgive my impudence, having Young Master Li succeed the position of Alliance Hierarch is a blessing for our Pill League and even more so for the common people. I am sincerely convinced and will fully assist Young Master Li in the future. If I harbor any disloyalty, may I be struck by heavenly retribution!”
Gu Sanqiu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised as he looked at Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin, “Lin Zuo, have you had a change of heart?”
The position of Vice Alliance Hierarch for Lin Zuo had been elected by those below. He considered himself to be very popular within the Pill League, so he did not show much respect to Gu Sanqiu, even often contradicting him, which made Gu Sanqiu grit his teeth in anger.
But at this moment, Lin Zuo actually said such things through a voice transmission!
“The Alliance Hierarch jests. Although Lin has often been disrespectful to you, it was all for the sake of the Pill League. Things are different now; with Young Master Li’s Immortal Monarch-level cultivation, yet able to mass-produce Immortal Pills, it’s truly unheard of, unseen before. With him here, the future of our Pill League is promising!”
Gu Sanqiu said no more, but in his heart, he was muttering to himself. He had not been able to subdue Lin Zuo in tens of thousands of years, yet Li Cheng had casually shown a skill, and this guy had a change of heart!
While pondering, Li Cheng waved his hands and directed the sky-full of Immortal Pills towards Gu Sanqiu, “I won’t need to participate in the rest, right?”
“Don’t!” Numerous people shouted in unison.
Just as Gu Sanqiu was about to speak, he was stunned for a moment but then burst into laughter, “See that? The people have spoken, you better continue participating obediently!”
His voice changed as he looked at Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and tally the results, let those who need to be eliminated exit, and let’s wrap up the tournament as soon as possible.”
Lin Zuo gave a fist salute and instructed, “Judging panel, tally up as quickly as possible!”
“Yes!” Dozens of individuals sprang into action simultaneously.
Li Cheng looked at Gu Sanqiu speechlessly, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Gu Sanqiu didn’t give Li Cheng a chance to speak, proclaiming loudly, “This is the next Alliance Hierarch of our Pill League, Li Cheng!”
“You all have seen Li Cheng’s Pill Skill by now, I hope you will give the Pill League some face in the future!”
The underlying message was clear: if Li Cheng offends you in the future, you’d better just put up with it!
Li Cheng found this somewhat amusing in his heart, Gu Sanqiu was really good at making threats.
But this was an excellent opportunity; seizing the moment, Li Cheng gave a salute in all directions, saying, “I am Li Cheng, Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Southern Domain, Guest Elder of the Wordless Sect in Central Continent, please look after me!”
The surrounding crowd hurriedly returned the gesture; this was the future Pill League Alliance Hierarch!
Among the crowd, the members of the Wordless Sect were instantly excited; it was their moment to shine, Li Cheng had not forgotten them!
With that one statement, the name of the Wordless Sect resounded instantly!
“The Southern Domain is too far, but the Wordless Sect is not. I’ll visit the Wordless Sect someday.”
“I’m not a Pill Master and can’t enter the Pill League, but I can join the Wordless Sect. After the tournament ends, I must seek to join the Wordless Sect!”
Bai Xian clearly heard that already countless people were discussing joining the Wordless Sect!
“It’s great, truly great!” Bai Xian was excited and couldn’t help but clench his fists, struggling to suppress the surge of emotion.
Reputation, without a doubt, was the most crucial thing for a power. From now on, the Wordless Sect would undoubtedly flourish.
“Alliance Hierarch, the tally is complete—more than ten thousand people have been eliminated, only one thousand six hundred and twenty are advancing!”
At that moment, Lin Zuo’s voice rang out.
Gu Sanqiu raised an eyebrow, “So many eliminated in the first round of the tournament?”
Lin Zuo couldn’t help but smile, his gaze shifting towards Li Cheng, “During Young Master Li’s alchemy, many Pill Masters were attracted and forgot about their own alchemy!”
