Chapter 582: Chapter 589: Wait, I Have Another Question! (First Update)

The elder from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land gave an angry shout, and all the surrounding people immediately fell silent.

A terrifying aura erupted from the elder, covering the heavens and earth with a hum, enveloping the entire Pill Field in almost an instant.

All the low-cultivation practitioners immediately turned pale, looking at the elder from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land with terrified expressions.

This was a person with a dark and shining complexion, and wherever his gaze landed, a cold murderous intent spread. It was clear to see that this elder was indeed full of murderous intent, seething with anger.

A group of people closed their mouths in horror, and Yang Zhen gave a surprised sound, looked up, and was somewhat disappointed.

“Damn it, is the Divine Transformation Stage this arrogant?”

Boom!

The sound of an air wave explosion came, and from the Rainbow Tower, an elder’s hearty voice came: “Cheng Xu, my old friend, calm down. There’s no need to get angry with the children.”

As soon as his words fell, snow suddenly floated in mid-air. Each snowflake was cool and refreshing, falling between heaven and earth, completely dissolving the aura erupted by the elder from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land.

Seeing someone from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain intervene and restrain the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, everyone was excited. They jumped and shouted: “What, the dignified Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, has it come to this point, are they not only unwilling to release people but also intending to kill people?

“Murder? We are standing here, how many can you kill? Release people quickly. What the hell Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, even the chicken thieves don’t do such disgusting things!”

The momentum was escalating, and many people, relying on the imposing manner of the elder who deployed from Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, blurted out all the insults they could think of.

Ghost Pill Master and Fang Zhongjian looked at each other, both somewhat dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected the situation to escalate to this point.

As the two said, that bastard Yang Zhen must have done it on purpose. He deliberately appeared weak to the enemy and intentionally lured Ghost Pill Master step by step into his trap.

What Pure Bliss Realm, if you lose, you just need to dance in front of everyone. Who has ever seen such a thing? Especially in a pill-refining competition where even death was possible. When Ghost Pill Master was intent on killing Yang Zhen, would Yang Zhen still turn the other cheek, waiting to win Ghost Pill Master and make him dance to Pure Bliss?

On purpose, Yang Zhen definitely did it on purpose, he wanted this situation.

But… it’s so annoying!

The situation was already like fire and water, and the matter was irreversible. No matter what Ghost Pill Master and Fang Zhongjian said, it wouldn’t work.

Looking at Yang Zhen’s smiling face, Ghost Pill Master squeezed out two words through his teeth: “Release her!”

“But…”

Fang Zhongjian was still somewhat unwilling, staring at Yang Zhen with a gloomy face.

“I said, release her!” Ghost Pill Master roared, his eyes suddenly turned blood red. Fang Zhongjian looked startled and hurriedly told his fellows, “Release her!”

They let her go!

Seeing Feng Lingqiao walking out from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and coming to GuanGuan and Ji Yourong and others, everyone cheered, as if they had won a war, shouting heartily.

Yang Zhen gave Feng Lingqiao a pacifying look, watching Fang Zhongjian and Ghost Pill Master with interest.

A chillingly mysterious smile flashed across Ghost Pill Master’s face. Staring at Yang Zhen, he said, “The person has been released. Do you have any other problems?”

“No more…” Yang Zhen waved his hand.

“Since there are no problems, then we…”

“Wait!” Yang Zhen suddenly recalled something and said, “Wait, wait, I have another question.”

“What other questions do you have?” Ghost Pill Master’s voice was distorted with anger, staring at Yang Zhen furiously.

Yang Zhen looked at the Ghost Pill Master with a playful smile and said, “Don’t be so tense, it’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you… are you angry?”

“You!” The Ghost Pill Master’s face turned ashen, he took a step forward and glared at Yang Zhen, saying, “Alright, quite the sharp-tongued lad you are. I hope your alchemy skills are as cutting as your words, you… you’re doomed!”

Yang Zhen burst into laughter, humming a little tune as he walked towards his own alchemy platform.

“Damn, this Ghost Pill Master really has some substance. He managed to calm himself down like this.”

Yang Zhen mumbled to himself as he saw the empty alchemy platform, taking a deep breath.

The two alchemy platforms were about ten meters apart, identical in appearance and material. It was clear that they were prepared for Yang Zhen and the Ghost Pill Master to perform their alchemy.

This was an open competition of alchemy, and both Yang Zhen and the Ghost Pill Master were allowed to do as they pleased, as long as it wasn’t too overboard, they could do it.

After all, what they were about to undertake was not a quiet alchemy in a secluded chamber, but to venture through the dangerous Pill Bridge, where anything could happen.

Seeing Yang Zhen and the Ghost Pill Master approaching their respective alchemy platforms, the crowd quieted down, subconsciously backing off to leave the area to Yang Zhen and the Ghost Pill Master.

As both of their expressions grew serious, even the usually carefree Yang Zhen was calm. The majority of the audience became somewhat tense. Clearly, neither Yang Zhen nor the Ghost Pill Master was certain of their victory.

However, little did everyone know that the reason Yang Zhen showed such an expression wasn’t because he was afraid of losing to the Ghost Pill Master. It was simply because he had so many elixirs that he could concoct in his mind, and he was unsure which one to concoct at the moment.

At this point, even the leaders of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Heavenly Snow Holy Domain had each led their people onto the alchemy field. The two clearly delineated groups each found their own spot and began to pay attention to the competition between the Ghost Pill Master and Yang Zhen.

GuanGuan watched Yang Zhen with a worried look on her face, murmuring to herself, “The Ghost Pill Master has reached the Ghost Pill Stage in the Tri-Floral Realm. This is a special realm even higher than the Alchemy Grandmaster. If Yang Zhen is not careful, he could be targeted.”

“What? That means Yang Zhen might lose?”

“How could he lose to this half-man, half-ghost creature? Hasn’t Yang Zhen won all the way here?”

“It’s precisely because he hasn’t lost that he might be careless. Unexpected outcomes happen all the time, don’t they?”

…

A whirl of discussion arose among the crowd, everyone seemed uncertain.

The Holy Master of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain chuckled, saying, “The competition hasn’t started yet, anything could happen. Just watch. GuanGuan…”

“Disciple is present.” GuanGuan quickly went to the front of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.

“This alchemy competition is a rare opportunity. Don’t just focus on Yang Zhen. Although the Ghost Pill Master’s methods are strange, there’s a lot to learn. Make sure you study attentively.”

GuanGuan nodded her head, looking at Yang Zhen with concern.

At that moment, both the Ghost Pill Master and Yang Zhen radiated an unusual aura.

Semultaneously, they both emitted rays of light that slowly spread out, like tentacles drifting and tumbling in the wind.

The light from Yang Zhen was golden and gentle, whereas the light from the Ghost Pill Master was blood-red, ghastly and chilling.

If the aura emanating from Yang Zhen was gentle like a snail’s feelers, then the aura from the Ghost Pill Master was akin to a scorpion’s venomous barb, giving people goosebumps.

As their auras touched, they both looked at each other almost simultaneously.

A terrifying momentum was on the verge of being unleashed, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

“It’s starting!”

Everyone inhaled sharply, their eyes hardened.
