Chapter 405: North and South Pill Kings!
According to the legends, when Pill Saint Zhao Qingluan ascended, hundreds of Heavenly Dao Tribulation Lightning landed on him at the same time.
Just as he thought that he was about to be shattered by the tribulation lightning, a seven-star phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.
The seven stars gathered and emitted a strange light to protect Zhao Qingluan, helping him successfully resist the tribulation lightning.
Later on, at the previous Pill Saint Assemblies, once a new Pill Saint appeared, there would definitely be a phenomenon of seven stars joining together.
As time passed, such a phenomenon was treated by everyone as an auspicious sign, indicating that a new elite would appear in the alchemy world.
However, what was shocking was that before the Pill Saint Assembly officially began today, the phenomenon of seven stars joining together had already appeared.
This made everyone guess that a genius among geniuses might be born during this conference.
“It seems like today’s event will definitely be interesting!”
Someone couldn’t help but sigh.
These words attracted everyone’s agreement.
Soon, everyone’s focus was on a topic…
...Who could become the new Pill Saint of this Pill Saint Assembly?
Someone said, “As far as I know, Immeasurable Heaven recently had a peerless prodigy, Shu Bin, who is rarely seen in a thousand years. He has now become the sect master of the Golden Sieve Sect.”
“What’s even more impressive is that he can already refine saint-rank medicinal pills very proficiently. His talent is peerless. I think he has a high chance of winning!”
Someone immediately retorted, “No, no! The Golden Sieve Sect’s Sect Master can only show off a little among the new generation!”
“In this Pill Saint Assembly, the younger generation can only be spectators, and the main characters will definitely be those veteran powerhouses in our alchemy world.”
“The Myriad Treasure Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Perfected One Chong Ming, Pill Maniac Feng Qingyang… They are the real competitors for the Pill Saint!”
These words made everyone present nod in agreement.
These people were all famous old Pill Kings who had accumulated power for a long time.
Those who were familiar with them knew that they would definitely attend this meeting.
Therefore, in front of these old powerhouses, other alchemy geniuses were really unqualified to compete on the same stage.
Soon, someone else said,
“Everyone, there’s no need to guess. According to the accurate news, the North and South Pill Kings will be attending this grand event.”
“I believe that the new Pill Saint can only be one of the two of them!”
Swish!
Everyone was in an uproar.
“The North and South Pill Kings will attend? That’s really interesting!”
“I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to witness the battle between the North and South Pill Kings today. This trip was really not in vain!”
“If they attend, the Pill Saint will undoubtedly appear from among them!”
…
Everyone revealed looks of admiration and awe towards the North and South Pill Kings.
It was because these two had been famous in the alchemy world and even the entire martial arts world for a long time.
The South Pill King was from the Azure Heaven and was the Sect Master of the Supreme Sect, Xiao Yao He was known as the “Unfettered Saint Hand.”
His pill refinement technique was superb and he could refine more than a hundred heaven-rank medicinal pills at the same time.
It was really as fast as lightning and as stable as a rock.
The North Pill King was from Crimson Nimbus Heaven and was the sect master of the Five Treasures Sect, Baili Zongde. His nickname, the “Five Treasures Saint”, was like thunder.
There were five treasures in pill refinement: Immortal Cauldron, Mystic Technique, Pill Refining, Heavenly Thunder, and Earth Fire.
These five treasures were all rare and precious treasures in the world.
Together, it made him feel like he had divine help when refining pills, and refining saint-rank medicinal pills was even more common.
Therefore, once the five treasures of the North appeared, no one in the alchemy world could compare to the South’s Xiaoyao.
Amidst everyone’s discussion, they quickly arrived at the venue near the top of the Green Phoenix Mountain.
Before long, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Perfected One Chong Ming, Pill Maniac Feng Qingyang, and a group of veteran powerhouses all appeared.
Their auras were very powerful, and they impressed countless people the moment they appeared.
Under everyone’s gazes, a middle-aged man in white held a Seven-colored Feather Fan in his hand and stepped on auspicious clouds.
He brought thousands of neatly dressed and elegant disciples to the venue.
Everyone revealed looks of awe when they saw the white-robed man.
Even veteran powerhouses like Myriad Treasure Pavilion’s Pavilion Master and Perfected One Chong Ming bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Unfettered Saint Hand!”
Ren Xiaoyao waved the Seven-colored Feather Fan in his hand and smiled elegantly. “Greetings, everyone!”
He swept his gaze across the crowd with a domineering air.
Then, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.
A black-robed, white-haired old man sat on a huge dark cloud. His body flashed with five-colored mystic light as he brought thousands of disciples to the venue.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned and looked at the old man before shooting out a strand of pressure.
Sensing his pressure, Baili Zongde frowned and glanced at him.
The two of them were immediately filled with hostility.
Everyone present hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Greetings, Five Treasures Saint!”
Baili Zongde nodded slightly. “Greetings, everyone!”
After he landed in the center of the venue with his disciples, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly changed and was extremely anxious.
Everyone looked back and forth between him and Ren Xiaoyao with excited expressions.
With the North and South Pill Kings gathered, the show was about to begin!
Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde looked at each other and could see each other’s deep hostility.
Ren Xiaoyao shook his feather fan and narrowed his eyes.
“We’ve been on par with each other for many years, but there’s never been a winner. What a pity!”
“But from today onwards, I will change this situation!”
Baili Zongde snorted. “Don’t be too confident. Be careful or I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Everyone trembled silently.
Two tigers really couldn’t share one mountain.
Nan Xiaoyao and the North’s Five Treasures Sect had a long-standing grudge. Their sects often had conflicts because they fought over alchemy geniuses and resources.
The two of them had been hiding for ten thousand years before participating in this grand event. It seemed like they had to determine the winner today!
“Sect Master, there’s bad news!”
At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly sounded from the foot of the mountain.
The disciple of the Five Treasures Sect ran to Baili Zongde and said nervously, “The young Sect Master was injured!”
“What?!”
Baili Zongde was shocked.
He was going to bring his son, Baili Xi, along today. Baili Xi told him that he had something on and would be late.
Unexpectedly, Baili Xi was injured by someone!
Looking up, Baili Zongde saw a young man covered in blood arrive at the venue. It was his son, Baili Xi.
It seemed that Baili Xi had already applied medicine, but the blood on his body and the wounds that had not disappeared made it obvious that he was seriously injured.
Baili Zongde hurriedly went forward and asked, “Who injured you?”
Baili Xi looked at Ren Xiaoyao hatefully. “It’s the young Sect Master of the Xiaoyao Sect, Ren Ruoyu!”
“Huh?” Ren Xiaoyao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
His son had actually hit Baili Xi. This was a good thing!
He suddenly understood that his son had said that he would come to the grand event later because he had gone to beat up Baili Xi.
At this moment, Ren Ruoyu also arrived at the venue and looked at Baili Xi with hostility.
The tension between this pair of young sect masters was even stronger than that between their fathers. They were simply murderous.
Baili Zongde gritted his teeth and glared at Ren Ruoyu. He asked Baili Xi, “What happened?”
Baili Xi gritted his teeth and told him what had happened.
It turned out that he and Ren Ruoyu had a deep conflict half a year ago.
The reason was that they had taken a fancy to An Qingming, the Holy Maiden of the Immeasurable Heaven’s Yanyue Holy Land.
The two of them had fought half a year ago, but there was no winner, so it was left unsettled.
In the past few days, they had heard that the other party’s sect was also participating in the Pill Saint Assembly.
The two of them felt that it was very likely that Yanyue Holy Land’s Holy Maiden was also paying attention to this grand event, so they decided to let the other party embarrass himself at the grand event and force the other party to withdraw from the competition for Yanyue Holy Land’s Holy Maiden.
Furthermore, they all knew that there was a lot of resentment between their fathers. They agreed to fight again at the opening of the meeting.
However, Baili Xi didn’t expect that after half a year, Ren Ruoyu had become much stronger and almost crippled him.
“Bastard!”
Hearing this, Baili Zongde glared at Ren Ruoyu. “You must have tricked my son!”
Baili Xi’s beating didn’t just concern him, but also the entire Five Treasures Sect.
Baili Zongde felt that only by striking first and attacking first could he help his sect save face.
Ren Xiaoyao berated angrily, “It’s clearly your son’s incompetence. Why are you blaming others?”
“You dare to criticize my son?” Baili Zongde’s gaze turned cold. “I want to see what qualifications you have!”
He waved his right hand and condensed ten thousand miles of dark clouds into a huge black sword that slashed at Ren Xiaoyao.
Everyone was shocked.
They started fighting just like that?
They didn’t expect Baili Zongde to attack Ren Xiaoyao before the Pill Saint Assembly even started.
Ren Xiaoyao’s true essence surged. He raised the Seven-colored Feather Fan in his hand and suddenly swung it at Baili Zongde. “You’re courting death!”
Bang!!!
The terrifying seven-colored mystic light and black sword energy collided and erupted with an overwhelming terrifying wave of air.
The entire venue shook. The three million people trembled and took more than ten steps back.
They looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde in horror.
The impact of the full-power battle between two Emperor Realm powerhouses was really too terrifying!
If the two of them continued like this, most of the people present would probably have to leave the venue.
After one exchange, Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde were staring at each other.
In fact, their main goal was to take the opportunity to find out a little about the other party and prepare for the alchemy competition next.
In their opinion, the other party’s cultivation level and cultivation technique could expose some secrets.
For example, whether he had consumed some high-level medicinal pills.
If they could find any clues, it would definitely be very helpful in the competition for the honor of being the Pill Saint!
However, the two of them were top-notch experts and wouldn’t expose their trump cards easily. This move couldn’t achieve their goal.
“It seems like I have to try a few more moves.”
When the two of them thought of this, they circulated their true essence and attacked again.
Seven-colored mystic light flew up from the sky, and fifty kilometers of sword energy crisscrossed.
The terrifying aura made the three million people present panic.
“Two Emperor Realm cultivators are fighting crazily. Who can withstand this?”
At the thought of this, some people were already prepared to leave under the boundless might of the two of them.
Huh?
A white light flashed in the sky above the venue and attracted the attention of countless people.
A handsome young master in white stood proudly under the clouds with four cute girls in his arms.
Facing Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde’s boundless killing intent, he waved his hand gently.
Phew ~
A strange astral wind blew and instantly resolved their killing intent.
“This…”
Not only were the three million people present shocked, but Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde were also shocked by Lin Xuan’s move.
The two of them hurriedly stopped and looked at Lin Xuan. The first thing they felt was that he was a very important figure.
At this moment, Wen Junyao, Shu Bin, and the others rushed to Lin Xuan’s side.
Shu Bin cupped his hands at Lin Xuan and looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Baili Zongde.
“Seniors, the Consort specially brought the four princesses to participate in the event.”
“The event hasn’t even started yet. It’s probably inappropriate for you guys to do this, right?”
Hearing his words, Ren Xiaoyao, Baili Zongde, and everyone present were shocked.
They suddenly understood that Lin Xuan was the famous husband of Empress Mystic Ice, the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort!
“So it’s the Consort. Forgive me for my rudeness!”
The two of them hurriedly put away their weapons and bowed to Lin Xuan respectfully.
