280: C280 Champion

C280 Champion

On top of the Stone Platform, raging flames were rising. A thick pill fragrance spread out, forming layers of mist that covered the sky above the blood arena.

At this moment, the remaining ten people were sweating profusely. They stared nervously at the center of the fire, their expressions filled with apprehension.

The next step would determine the formation of the pill.

Buzz! Buzz!

At a certain moment, a Cauldron trembled. A green light shot out from within, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire Stone Platform.

Swoosh!

Not long after, the raging flames in the furnace suddenly shrank. An extremely dense light shot out from within, and floated in midair.

Looking closely, it was a green medicinal pill. A rich medicinal fragrance spread out from within, forming a green fog.

"Haha, I succeeded!"

An apothecary suddenly stood up. Staring at the green pill, he threw his head back and laughed maniacally.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd also revealed shocked expressions. With their eyesight, they were naturally able to tell that this was a tier two middle grade medicinal pill, the Green Pattern Pill.

Swoosh!

Right at this moment, another ray of purple light shot into the sky, turning into a medicinal pill that was surrounded by purple gas.

"A middle-grade tier two medicinal pill, the Purple Destruction Pill!" A wave of exclamations immediately sounded from the crowd.

Swoosh!

Not long after, a jade-green light rushed out of the pill furnace and transformed into an incomparably round pill.

"Middle-Grade Two Pill, Jade Spirit Pill!" A wave of exclamations sounded from the crowd once again.

Swish! Swish!

Rays of light shot up into the sky one after another, transforming into medicinal pills with dense pill fragrance.

In a short two hours, nine people had successfully refined one after another.

However, the medicinal pills that these people had refined were all at tier two middle grade. Only one person had nearly refined a tier two high grade medicinal pill.

Elder Qing nodded slightly. It was already extremely difficult for the Pill Association of the younger generation to produce so many tier two middle grade medicinal pills.

"There is still one person left. I wonder what grade of medicinal pill this fellow will be able to refine." He looked at the last black-clothed youth, his expression flickering slightly.

It was not just him. At this moment, most of the gazes were focused on the alchemist.

"This fluctuation..."

Chu Kuangsheng stared at the young man in black. Suddenly, a surprised expression flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, the black clothed young man suddenly stood up. He slammed his palm towards the Medicine Cauldron, and a bright white light shot out from within.

"That is?"

Everyone lifted their heads and looked. They saw an extremely round, white-jade-like medicinal pill quietly suspended in the air.

"Grade-2 high grade medicinal pill, Jade Spirit Pill!" The atmosphere of the scene froze for a moment, followed by cries of alarm.

The medicinal pill that this fellow refined had actually reached Grade-2 middle grade.

Under the countless number of shocked gazes, the black clothed young man's tensed face finally relaxed.

"Haha!"

In the next moment, he could no longer endure the wild joy in his heart as he laughed towards the sky.

Because following the successful refinement of the Jade Spirit Pill, it also meant that he had taken the champion of this year's Five Territories Pill Association into his arms.

On the Stone Platform, the other nine alchemists immediately revealed envious expressions when they saw the black-clothed young man who was laughing non-stop.

However, there was nothing that they could not accept. This was because the Jade Spirit Pill had already suppressed all their pride.

"Who is this fellow, to actually refine a tier two high grade medicinal pill? " Loong Linger looked at the black-clothed man and could not help but cry out in surprise.

Refining a Jade Spirit Pill at such an age, such talent was extremely outstanding.

"Glazed Tile Palace's Young Lord, Liuzi!" Xinya smiled faintly and said.

Glazed Tile Palace?

When he heard these three words, Chu Kuangsheng's expression instantly changed. Because this was also a powerful force that wasn't any weaker than the Three Star Pavilion.

"This Central Domain is really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!" He exclaimed.

Xinya could not help but roll her eyes at him when she heard him. She curled her lips and said, "Compared to a freak like you, what kind of dragon and tiger is that Liu Li?

Chu Kuangsheng touched his nose. Why did he have a feeling that this woman was a little unhappy with him?

...

"Hehe!"

While they were discussing, Elder Qing smiled faintly. Then, he looked around and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, I don't think you have any objections about Liu Li becoming the champion of this year's Pill Association, right?"

Countless laughter sounded after these words sounded.

"Elder Qing must be joking. With Liu Li's strength, he is worthy of being called the champion."

"Haha, as expected of the young master of the Glazed Tile Palace."

...

Hearing the praises, a thick smile surfaced in Liu Li's eyes.

He cupped his hands towards Elder Qing and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support, Elder Qing!"

His voice carried an unconcealable pride. However, Elder Qing did not mind this. Being able to refine a Jade Spirit Pill at such a young age was worthy of such pride.

"I wonder if Young Master Liu Li is interested in joining our Heaven Academy?" Elder Qing hesitated for a moment. After which, he smiled gently and asked.

Hearing this, the people of the various major powers secretly curled their lips. Regarding Liu Li, they really wanted to recruit him. However, they also understood that with Liu Li's status, he would not be able to pay attention to them.

On top of the Stone Platform, Liu Li was stunned for a moment. Then, without any hesitation, he cupped his hands and said, "Disciple greets Elder."

Disciple?

When these two words entered their ears, everyone immediately opened their mouths. This fellow really knew how to climb up the ladder. If he could become Elder Qing's disciple, it would be something many people dreamt of.

If the Palace Master of the Glazed Tile Palace knew about this matter, he would surely be grinning from ear to ear.2

Elder Qing could naturally tell what Liu Lizi was thinking, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he said with a smile, "After this year's Pill Association is over, you will follow me to the Institute of Elders."

"Disciple obeys!" Liu Lizi said with a solemn expression.

Elder Qing nodded slightly. After that, his eyes swept across the Myriad Sword Mountain, North Spirit City, and other major powers, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The atmosphere of the scene quickly quieted down upon seeing this. Countless people's eyes sparkled, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.

The following competition would be the highlight of the show.

"I believe everyone here is here to witness the competition between the top alchemists of the five great regions."

Elder Qing said slowly. Then, he waved his hand and two rays of light shot into the sky.

Everyone lifted their heads and saw a black piece of paper and a round medicinal pill.

Chu Kuangsheng's pupils suddenly shrunk at this moment. His entire heart beat violently.

"Divine Soul Pill!"

He stared at the medicinal pill that did not appear to be eye-catching. A rich heat surged within his eyes.

"Hehe! This is a contract. With this item, one will obtain the right to open up a Space Mine."

Elder Qing laughed as he pointed at the black paper. The words that he said caused the hearts of countless number of people to jump as greed surfaced in their eyes.

Everyone knew that the Space Mine was an extremely rare treasure mountain. If one was able to participate in the excavation, one would obtain unimaginable benefits.

Elder Qing faintly smiled when he saw the fervent look in everyone's eyes. After which, he pointed at the round medicinal pill and slowly spoke.

"This item is called the Divine Soul Pill!"
