Chapter 1427 - 1428: The Dan Clan Leader’s Fury
Dan Clan, within the Pillar Tower, over a dozen elders sat on either side, and sitting in the highest position were the Pill Saint and the Dan Clan Leader.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the tower was incredibly somber.
"Dragon Scale Valley, Dark Palace, Light Divine Temple, these people’s courage is too great."
Dan Clan Leader Dan Baicao’s gaze was also extremely cold; today was definitely a disgrace of epic proportions for his Dan Clan.
"Clan Leader, if today’s events were to spread, where would be the face of our Dan Clan?"
Dan Dongfeng said.
"The leaders of those forces have been immortals in the Divine Venerable Seven Souls for a long time; we can’t do anything about them."
Dan Baicao shook his head and then asked the Pill Saint: "Pill Saint, can you request the Supreme Elder from the Dead Soul Royal Family?"
"It’s possible, but it requires some compensation."
the Pill Saint said.
"Compensation? Our Dan Clan has nothing but plenty of Pei Yuan pills. Contact the Supreme Elder of the Dead Soul Royal Family immediately, preferably a Supreme Elder of the Divine Venerate Eight Souls—I want them all dead."
Dan Baicao said angrily.
"Haha, I happen to have an Energy Clone left with the Dead Soul Royal Family, and I am quite close to Fire Sky Venerate, who is a Divine Venerate Eight Souls expert and one of the four Supreme Elders under the Soul Master. Just wait a moment."
The Pill Saint, naturally wanting to deal with the forces of the Dragon Scale Valley, thought today was the most humiliating day since becoming a Pill Saint. Without killing them, it’s difficult to calm the anger in his heart.
Time passed slowly, the Pillar Tower was almost eerily silent, even the sound of heartbeats could be heard. Everyone was waiting for news from the Pill Saint.
Suddenly, the Pill Saint opened his eyes and smiled: "Fire Sky Venerate agreed, but he wants fifty thousand Ascending Soul Pills and fifty thousand Divine Venerate Pills."
"What? Fifty thousand Ascending Soul Pills and fifty thousand Divine Venerate Pills?"
Dan Baicao was surprised by the number; even if he hired a Divine Venerate Eight Souls expert outside, it wouldn’t cost so much.
"Fire Sky Venerate said, if this deal is successful, you will be his friends, personal friends."
The Pill Saint continued.
This is equivalent to a promise, a promise from a Divine Venerate Eight Souls expert, which cannot be exchanged for these resources.
"Great!"
Dan Baicao endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and said, "When will Fire Sky Venerate come over?"
"He said everything goes according to your wishes!"
The Pill Saint said.
"Very well, then invite Fire Sky Venerate to come to the Dan Clan at noon tomorrow. After the contest ends and the participants leave, we will eradicate all forces like Dragon Scale Valley."
As night fell and the Shining Moon Pavilion hung high, virtually all participants were sitting cross-legged on Heaven’s Wall City; some martial artists had even set up tents.
During this time, many of the participants entered the Dan Clan, unclear about the situation, but after inquiry, they learned that an alchemy competition would be held tomorrow.
"I didn’t expect you to be the champion of the alchemy competition, Ye Shao."
At this time, Yang Rong came with the dragon scales, and the dragon scales looked surprised at Ye Mo.
Presumably, during their conversation, Yang Rong told the dragon scales about Ye Mo’s identity.
"Just a false reputation!"
Ye Mo shrugged.
"Why don’t you participate in the competition? If you were to take action this time, you would surely win the championship again and quell the prestige of the Dan Clan."
The dragon scales asked curiously.
"With Yang Rong participating, that’s sufficient; I don’t need to. After all, everyone in the Dan Clan knows me. If I reveal my identity, they probably won’t let me participate."
Ye Mo rubbed his chin, his smile exceptionally radiant, seemingly confident in Yang Rong’s competition.
"Haha, since that’s the case, I’m rather curious; Miss Yang Rong says you’re not only an alchemy genius but also have strong talent in martial arts cultivation. It would be nice to spar with you."
The dragon scales chuckled, then greeted Yang Rong before returning to their camp.
"It seems the dragon scales have some interest in you."
Seeing Yang Rong always watching the dragon scales, Ye Mo couldn’t help but say.
"He’s quite good, but compared to you, he’s far inferior."
Yang Rong snapped back to reality and smiled.
"But sincerely, only he truly likes you. Perhaps you should consider it; maybe your Yang family can even become in-laws with Dragon Scale Valley."
Ye Mo laughed heartily.
As Ye Mo and Yang Rong talked, time passed bit by bit. The dark night exchanged with daylight, and the alchemy competition was about to begin.
The guards and disciples of the Dan Clan finally led all the participating disciples into the Dan Clan, gathering them on the Dan Clan plaza. The plaza already seemed divided into areas, each person occupying one, because it was large enough to accommodate all participants easily.
Dragon Scale Valley, Dark Palace, Light Divine Temple, and various major forces all dispatched up to a hundred guards to maintain the competition site, while the Dan Clan also sent a hundred guards.
The Pill Saint and those revered elders of the Dan Clan all sat in seats with the Valley Master of Dragon Scale Valley and others, watching the competition.
Other forces, large and small, also sat around the plaza, watching this competition. They weren’t very interested in alchemy but wanted to recruit some alchemists for their own forces.
"Long Wanli, all the participants’ Pill Furnaces have been checked; shall we start the competition?"
The Pill Saint said calmly.
"Certainly, we can start!"
Long Wanli nodded.
"As the Dan Clan Leader, I hereby officially announce the start of the competition!"
Dan Baicao also slowly stood up and said loudly, "Since all participants are ready, let’s begin the competition. The duration is one incense’s worth; show your highest level in alchemy, and the one who produces the most difficult and pure Pei Yuan pills combined will be the champion of this alchemy competition."
"Now, let the competition begin!"
As Dan Baicao’s voice fell, everyone started alchemy; the materials were still provided by the Dan Clan and had already been prepared.
"Ye Shao, are you really going to refine the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill again?"
Though Yang Rong had great confidence in her alchemy skills and could refine the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, the purity was certainly not high.
"Don’t worry about refining; I’ll help you with the fire."
Ye Mo had now entirely become a Pill Refining Powder assistant, helping Yang Rong control and blow the fire. A small Pill Refining Powder didn’t catch much attention.
The Pill Saint’s gaze swept across, observing all the alchemists; this time, the Pill Demon heir didn’t come, and Ye Shao was nowhere to be seen. The other alchemists’ skills were far inferior to Dan Chenzi and the disciples of the Pill Saint. Even if no tricks were played in this alchemy competition, the champion would only emerge between Dan Chenzi and a disciple of the Pill Saint.
"Long Wanli, your son’s alchemy skills aren’t bad. I suppose they’re refining the Divine Shadow Pill? But even with a purity of one hundred percent, the Divine Shadow Pill can’t capture first place."
The Pill Saint said with a smile.
"I never said my son could take first place; his interest doesn’t lie in alchemy. Back when the Wraith Demon Emperor spoke to me, he said that both alchemy and artifact refining are merely auxiliary to martial arts. Strong martial cultivation is the foundation for survival on Wraith Land."
Long Wanli’s expression remained unchanged, recalling task executions with the Wraith Demon Emperor, feeling some emotion. If the Wraith Demon Emperor were still alive, he would surely shed blood for him.
