Chapter 439 - 48: Zhou Xun, Future True Monarch!
"This is the fourth day, not just four days. Junior brother, just wait and see!"
The man in the blue robe retorted, clarifying that these were two different concepts.
"Could it be that senior brother thinks this person can really hold on till the fifth day? In my opinion, this Spiritual Energy Vortex will soon dissipate!"
The young man spoke with certainty.
"Hahaha!"
The elderly man and Master Sanchuan looked at the two’s argument and couldn’t help but laugh heartily; they both had confidence in their own answers.
To cultivate to this level, naturally, one has supreme confidence in their own judgment.
"Gentlemen, just wait and see!"
He seemed a bit irritated and spoke up as everyone appeared to underestimate his choice.
Unlike the light-hearted chatting about Core Formation at Master Sanchuan’s cave,
in other places of Qianying Square, most cultivators showed looks of envy.
"This phenomenon lasting four days is a sign of forming a True Pill!"
There were also those envious cultivators who sourly commented:
"If not for that Tier Three High-Grade Cave Mansion, I’m afraid it would only be a Fake Pill!"
Zhou Xun was naturally unaware of these comments, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
His incarnation was currently sitting inside the Ice and Fire Cloud Array, with the Profound Thunder Sword hovering in front, ready to act at any moment.
Yet, under such a phenomenon, no one dared to come to spy.
...
Quite smoothly, another day passed.
Outside, there was much commotion.
"Five days!"
"The phenomenon lasting five days is a sign of a Middle-Grade True Pill!"
Many couldn’t hold back and had gathered outside Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion, respectfully using Sound Transmission Talismans,
hoping to earn the admiration of this new True Person.
After all, such occurrences were not unprecedented in Qianying Square.
At Master Sanchuan’s Cave Mansion, the young man was incredulous:
"This... this person is really going to form a Middle-Grade True Pill, but that’s a Middle-Grade True Pill!"
"Even with fifty-three points of High-Grade Spirit Root, I barely reached this quality!"
"Hahaha!" The man in the blue robe was all smiles, pointing to the Beast Egg before him:
"I’ll gladly accept this Wind-Controlling Eagle’s Beast Egg, my brother!"
"Hmph, senior brother, don’t celebrate too soon. Maybe this person will form a High-Grade True Pill!" The young man stubbornly suggested.
"Junior brother, you’re overthinking. According to the scriptures, even for Earth Spirit Root cultivators, less than half can form a High-Grade True Pill!"
At this moment, the elderly man beside them interjected to explain.
"Even Earth Spirit Root cultivators?" The young man was full of surprise.
"Of course, let’s see when this person stops today!" The man in the blue robe was confident, thinking that a Middle-Grade True Pill would be Zhou Xun’s final achievement.
Meanwhile, Master Sanchuan maintained an enigmatic expression, sipping from his Spirit Tea as if he had already seen through everything.
...
Inside his temporary Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun continued to compress and polish this Inner Core. It now appeared milky white and had become smooth overall.
There was a flow of Spirit Charm on it, extraordinary indeed.
But, this wasn’t Zhou Xun’s limit yet.
...
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, another day passed, reaching the sixth day!
"How... how could this be!"
The entire Qianying Square’s cultivators were almost boiling, especially those Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"In how many years has Qianying Square not seen such a person!"
They knew very well what a phenomenon lasting six days indicated.
This meant that the person was finally forming a High-Grade True Pill, which made him a core figure even in a major sect.
In the future, there was a high probability of breaking through to late-stage Core Formation, qualifying for the Nascent Soul Stage.
Like Elder Zhao, Old Demon Yulu, and their own Qianying Square’s True Person’s master, Master Sanchuan, were of this level.
They were among the top figures in the Chaotic Domain.
At the city gate, the middle-aged steward stared blankly at the unending phenomenon,
"This is... a High-Grade True Pill. What kind of monster has come to our Qianying Square!"
Then he looked at the boy beside him:
"If you can have such a day in the future, I would die content!"
"Father, I will surely aim to emulate this senior!"
The boy, looking at the phenomenon gathering in the distance, gradually became resolute.
Such expressions of astonishment appeared in countless corners of Qianying Square, including Master Sanchuan’s cave.
"How could it be... that’s a High-Grade True Pill!" The man in the blue robe was full of shock.
Yesterday, he mocked the young man; today, he was utterly humiliated by Zhou Xun.
The bullet he shot the day before hit him square in the forehead the next day.
The elderly man also looked on with a complex expression at the distant phenomenon.
His Inner Core was of Middle-Grade True Pill quality, and now reaching the Peak of Middle-Stage Core Formation had exhausted his potential,
making further progress exceedingly difficult.
But the master of that phenomenon not only could easily reach late-stage Core Formation but also had a chance at the Nascent Soul Stage.
The young man was even more astonished. Previously, he said Zhou Xun could form a High-Grade True Pill merely to brush off the blue-robed middle-aged man,
never expecting his words to become a prophecy, that this person truly reached this level,
Among the four, only Master Sanchuan remained composed.
The three others besides him couldn’t help but express admiration:
"As expected, a True Person in late-stage Core Formation has such discernment that we juniors can’t compare to!"
"These few treasures are yours, True Person!"
The elderly man said, pushing several treasures toward Master Sanchuan. The young man and the blue-robed man showed signs of reluctance.
"Hahaha!" Master Sanchuan was in a great mood.
"I once formed a High-Grade True Pill, so I have some experience with this!"
"As for these treasures, you junior brothers take them back!" Saying this, he pushed the treasures back to them.
"How could we accept this!" They felt a bit embarrassed.
"No matter, I’m not lacking such things!"
As the true overseer of Qianying Market, Master Sanchuan’s wealth was leagues ahead of the three of them combined,
so he was naturally more generous!
Master Sanchuan pointed to the distant phenomenon, speaking:
"Let’s see how long this person can hold out today; the longer the time, the more benefits in the future!"
"If we can persuade this person to join, maybe our Qianying Association’s territory could expand further!"
Master Sanchuan smiled, stroked his beard, and then raised a teacup, inviting everyone to continue.
"Come, let’s continue enjoying this Mist Spirit Tea!"
Everyone returned to their state of lively toasts and merry cheer.
...
Just like that, time ticked away, getting closer and closer to midnight,
and Zhou Xun’s phenomenon showed no sign of diminishing.
As time passed, Master Sanchuan’s smile gradually faded, and a serious look emerged in his eyes.
Slowly, midnight arrived and then quietly passed!
The seventh day quietly arrived...
