C344 Heavenly Saint Realm Totem the Dry-yuan Halberd
"Yo, Junior Brother Nie, I thought you wouldn't be back tonight." Qin Wuyan who was inside the Duobao Courtyard saw Liu Tie coming in from the courtyard gate and mocked him.
"Not coming back?" "Why?" Nie Zhen looked at Qin Wuyan in doubt. Previously, his mind was filled with the words of that mysterious man, and he had already forgotten about the teasing from his peers.
"Eh …." Qin Wuyan didn't know what to say. Judging from Liu Tie's expression, it did not seem like he had just finished his love affair. Qin Wuyan quickly asked, "Junior Brother Nie, why are you home so late? Nothing's going to happen to you, right?"
Nie Zhen shook his head and said half-heartedly, "Nothing much, it's just that I just got the trophy. I came back here after wandering around for a bit to be safe."
"Oh... "We should indeed be careful, but this is the Nine Palace City after all, and no one would dare to disrespect Sovereign Tai Yi. We don't need to be too cautious, but come to think of it, you should quickly recognize this Spirit Treasure as your master so that no one else will covet it." Qin Wuyan nodded in deep agreement as he spoke with concern.
"Thank you Senior Brother Qin for the reminder, I will go back to cultivate, there will be a session of Pill Tao Competition three days later, I need to prepare." Nie Zhen cupped his fists towards Qin Wuyan.
However, Junior Brother Nie, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The path of alchemy has always been the weak point of my Duobao Sect, so to be able to become the champion of the martial arts competition this time, you can be considered as the greatest success. "
Amongst the three great empires, it was widely acknowledged that the two sects with the weakest alchemy dao were the Duobao Sect and the Five Appearances Sect. Therefore, although the various large alchemy sects would still go all out this time, some of the weaker alchemy sects had already made some preparations.
However, it was clear that Nie Zhen did not intend to give up just like that. In order to prevent Yan Ruoxue's family from underestimating him, Nie Zhen had already planned to compete for the champion position with all of his strength.
In the next three days, Nie Zhen did not leave the Duobao Courtyard, but instead went to his own house to continuously study Medicine King Scripture, to consolidate his own alchemy cultivation.
During these three days, Yan Ruoxue also didn't come to Nie Zhen. It wasn't because Yan Ruoxue didn't want to see Nie Zhen, but because Yan Ruoxue had a relapse in these three days and fainted completely.
Until three days later when the Pill Tao Competition officially began.
Under the guidance of the Jiugong Sect people, the various sects once again arrived at the center of the stage.
This was already not their first time here, so they were already familiar with the environment, so there was nothing much to be surprised about. The only thing that surprised them was that the stage which was already destroyed by Shangguan Yu and Nie Zhen, was now completely restored, and they couldn't help but praise Jiugong Sect's strength.
Everyone knew that the main characters of today would no longer be those young disciples, but the top alchemy talents of each sect.
At this time, the hosts and organizers of the Jiugong Sect, one after the other, came to the top of the spectator stands. After greeting the sect masters of the other sects, the strongest expert of the three great empires, Sovereign Tai Yi, stood up and made his announcement.
Sovereign Tai Yi stood up and said to all the sect members in the stands in a clear voice, "Haha, after three days of recharging, I can see that everyone is full of energy. Okay, I won't say anymore nonsense. Here, this old man declares that the Pill Tao Competition of the Nine Palaces Competition has officially begun! "
"Roar!"
The disciples in the audience were already impatient. As soon as Sovereign Tai Yi announced it, they stood up and applauded. Sovereign Tai Yi understood the feelings of the young people very well, so he didn't say those grandiose words that made people want to sleep.
Waiting until the restless disciples in the audience gradually calmed down, Sovereign Tai Yi continued to speak: "This Pill Tao Competition, according to the process discussed by all the previous sects, is divided into three rounds. Next, according to tradition, before announcing the rules of the competition, this old man will announce the spoils of war of the champion!"
The moment Sovereign Tai Yi finished his words, the sound of a lot of people gulping down their saliva could be clearly heard. Even a master level expert like Lin Wuhui could not help but have his eyes shine.
Sovereign Tai Yi did not care about those people's feelings. He called out another Storage Ring from the Storage Ring he was pointing at and took out that Spirit Tool of the Heavenly Holy Stage!
Boom!
When the Spirit Tool of the Heavenly Holy Stage appeared, the heaven and earth shook, and even the surrounding nature spirit energy started to leak out.
All the sect heads present took a deep breath at the same time because they felt the familiar yet unfamiliar Spiritual Energy fluctuation from Sovereign Tai Yi's hand.
The fluctuations of Heavenly Sage Stage spirit energy, and from the fluctuations of spirit energy, it seemed to be an extremely high grade spirit artifact within the Heavenly Sage Stage!
As the light gradually faded, everyone could clearly see that what Sovereign Tai Yi was holding was a pitch black halberd. The edge of the halberd was carved with ancient runes and they could faintly see a trace of black light adhering to the edge of the blade.
"Spirit Tool of the Heavenly Holy Stage — — Heaven's Origin Halberd!" is the prize for this year's Pill Tao Competition Champion! " When Sovereign Tai Yi explained, even his own heart started to tremble uncontrollably.
Although he was a Origin Stage expert, forget about Spirit Tool of the Heavenly Holy Stage, he didn't even have a High Rank of the Heavenly Stage spirit artifact. It was impossible to say that he didn't have any thoughts at all.
"Wah!" "Today is truly an eye-opener..."
"Why are you so agitated? Do you really think you are worthy of this divine halberd? "1
"Fuck you, I don't have the qualifications, but you do?!"
Countless people in the stands were looking forward to the Heaven Origin Halberd in Sovereign Tai Yi's hand. Although many of them knew that they were not destined for this halberd, it did not stop them from daydreaming.
"If I am able to obtain such a divine tool in my lifetime, so what if I die young?!" Su Qiyu, who had already recovered most of her strength, looked at the Qianyuan Halberd with glowing eyes. She even felt a trace of resentment toward Sovereign Tai Yi.
From his point of view, Sovereign Tai Yi was obviously full. Jiugong Sect clearly had the opportunity to obtain such a heaven defying spirit artifact, yet Sovereign Tai Yi wanted to create a competition.
Moreover, the Jiugong Sect was not the sect that was best at alchemy, and it even set the prize for Pill Tao Competition as a Spirit Tool of the Heavenly Holy Stage.
From Su Qiyu's point of view, all she did was to leave the items in her hands for others to fight over. It would be better to give them to him directly. With a greedy look in her eyes, Su Qiyu thought to herself, "If I had this divine tool in my hand, why would I be afraid of Nie Zhen!"
"This time, I must obtain the Qian Yuan Halberd, or else, my Origin Sect will suffer heavy losses. Hsiao Dan, do you know?" Lin Wuhui warned the Origin Sect Fourth Sect Master and Hsiao Dan behind him.
The wizened old man behind him said, "Great Sect Master, don't worry. I, Hsiao Dan, swear on my life that if I don't win, I will self-destruct my Dantian!"
"Very good!" Lin Wuhui nodded his head. He was quite confident in Hsiao Dan. As far as the Pill Dao was concerned, Hsiao Dan's strength was already at the top of the three empires. Plus, Lin Wuhui was paving the way for Hsiao Dan with all the sect's resources.
At this time, Yan Ruoxue, who had already passed her old illness, came quietly to Nie Zhen's side. When Nie Zhen saw Yan Ruoxue, he gave a rare smile and said to Yan Ruoxue, "Xue'er, why haven't I seen you these past three days?"
Yan Ruoxue said casually, "It's because Xue'er had taken a fancy to someone who isn't as arrogant as he is. She has been taught a lesson by her elders."
Seeing Yan Ruoxue's relaxed look, Nie Zhen knew she was joking with him. He smiled and said, "That elder of yours is here to teach me a lesson. Remind me not to think that a toad can eat swan meat."
The corner of Yan Ruoxue's eyes curved as she looked at Nie Zhen and smiled, "What's wrong?" Young Master Nie is scared? "
The Shura's Murderous Aura on Nie Zhen's body could not help but appear, and stared at Yan Ruoxue confidently: "This piece of swan meat, I will definitely eat it!"
Yan Ruoxue didn't know why, she clearly knew Nie Zhen's attitude, but when she saw Nie Zhen's satisfied expression, she immediately smiled sweetly, hoping that time would stop at this moment.
Nie Zhen did not know what Yan Ruoxue was thinking in her heart, so he continued to smile and say to Yan Ruoxue: "It's just that out of the two conditions that your elder Xue'er gave me, one of them is to become the champion of Pill Tao Competition, and the second one is to obtain the greatest treasure of Eternal Relic. Only after satisfying two of the conditions can I barely qualify to sit at the table."
"Then does Young Master Nie have any confidence?" Yan Ruoxueotuo looked at Nie Zhen with her chin, as if she didn't care at all.
Nie Zhen thought for a moment and slowly shook his head. "What a pity..."
"Hmm?" Yan Ruoxue was confused and asked, "What's a pity? "Could it be that Young Master Nie is not confident?"
Nie Zhen glanced at the halberd in Sovereign Tai Yi's hand and sighed. "It's just a pity that this Spirit Tool of the Heavenly Holy Stage is a halberd, a main killing weapon. It doesn't match Xue'er's quiet personality at all. Otherwise, this halberd would have been a gift to you."
"This …" Yan Ruoxue looked at Nie Zhen in a daze. Only then did she realize that Nie Zhen had said it was a pity. It was not that he did not have confidence in her, but that he had decided to become the champion of Pill Tao Competition.
Yan Ruoxue didn't know why Nie Zhen was so confident. After all, he was just a young man. Could it be that Nie Zhen had plenty of time to practice the art of alchemy while training diligently?
Although she didn't know where Nie Zhen's confidence came from, Yan Ruoxue was happy about Nie Zhen's heroic spirit of killing gods and buddhas.
However, at this moment, Nie Zhen made a vow in his heart: "I have obtained all the Medicine King Scripture that the Divine King s have learned in their lives, if I can't even take down the champion of a mere Pill Tao Competition, wouldn't that be shaming the reputation of the Divine King s?! The champion of this competition, I have decided on! "
