Entire Venue’s Centre of Attention
Pill Valley enforced the rules with an iron fist regardless of their talent. Dozens of fireballs were used to incinerate the corpses. Their enraged first elder blustered, “I said, those who cheat will be executed!”
“Aaaahhh!” shrieked a girl, feeling nauseous at the bloody sight.
Yang Tian chuckled. “They were cheaters. They deserved it.”
“Oh…” The young girl, who was about a year younger than Yang Tian, didn’t look so pale after hearing his remark. “Young Master, the first contest will examine your divine soul energy. You need to lift a mystic weight ball for thirty breaths in order to pass.”
The young girl then wagged her hand, summoning a black iron ball the size of a human head. How heavy was it? The ground shook, and it glowed. An estimate would say it was a tonne. One needed their divine soul to be at Strength Forging Realm or higher to lift it.
Yang Tian mumbled, “Gee, this is a difficult contest. I bet half will be eliminated by the end of this round.”
If others could lift it, there was no way Yang Tian would be willing to show he was weak. He churned up his divine soul energy and hoisted the ball up. The ease with which he lifted the ball stunned the girl. Meanwhile, others were heard crying and groaning. Those who got ahead of themselves damaged their divine soul source and had to resign themselves to failure after their legs gave in.
Upon glancing over to the young man in white from Pill Dao Alliance, who wasn’t too far from him, Yang Tian sensed his divine soul cultivation was superior to his. He subsequently glanced over to a young man in black. The particular individual looked cunning. When he cast his gaze over to a girl who was only fifteen to sixteen, he sensed something bizarre about her aura despite her bright eyes.
Yang Tian continued surveying the surrounding people until he sensed someone impressive in the void. The individual in question was around his age, for that matter. Evidently, many extremely talented individuals showed up to the convention. Thirty breaths later, he turned his attention back to the rock boulder and placed it back down.
The first round only took thirty breaths to complete. As per prediction, half of the contestants were eliminated, leaving only a few thousand contestants remaining.
First Elder announced, “The second round is a pill flame control test. It commences now.”
The petite and dainty girl took out a twenty-five-centimetre-long iron that contained herb properties from her interspatial ring. She passed it to Yang Tian and giggled. “Young Master, this is ironwood. It is a high-grade rank one herb. You need to melt it within an hour.”
“Old buggers sure know how to choose their herbs…”
While ironwood was an herb, it was publicly acknowledged to be a trash herb and unreasonably tough enough to rival rank three herbs. This was quickly proven when people started crying and disparaging Pill Valley for being too miserly. Well, those were merely complaints. They sat down and got to it right away. An hour was quite a challenge for an alchemist.
Yang Tian joined them on the ground. He looked around and curled his lips upon sensing the colourful pill furnaces around. His was on the verge of crumbling, while quality of the furnace he spotted was the perfect replacement.
Yang Tian rubbed his hands together as a mystic rank pill appeared before him. He threw the ironwood in. The girl next to Yang Tian was surprised he had such a good furnace for an alchemist’s furnace essentially represented their status. Meng Yunxi got upset because Yang Tian was such a miser for using such a shoddy pill furnace when he was as rich as a holy descendant.
The pink clouds wreathing the top of the palace made it appear colourful. The interior resembled a carved huge piece of jade.
Yang Tian curled his lips but remained silent when he noticed all the attention on him. He forgot his pill flame was different to others. If an adept found out he possessed Lightning Source, adepts, Pill Valley included, would probably try to commit theft. People couldn’t understand why he didn’t do anything when he passed the first round. In the end, he gambled on Pill Valley not being shameless enough to actually rob hm.
Yang Tian summoned the purple lightning to his finger and shut the lid immediately after he plunged it into the pill furnace. Though he was fast, the old freaks did catch sight of it. They never heard of someone using lightning to refine pills.
Two elders with their eyes shut up until then as an uneasy emotion flourished in their minds.
