C1959 Overestimating Himself?
Three days later, the Apothecary Plaza of the Alchemist Association was still bustling with activity. The various factions that participated in the Pill Grading Assembly had yet to leave, and there were even some experts who had yet to show themselves for a long time. At this moment, they were all here for no other reason. Yes. Because today was going to be a brilliant battle of pills. It was also the 'Life and Death Pill' that hadn't been seen in the Northern Chill Region for thousands of years.
Before the two parties who were refining the Life and Death Pill arrived, the Pill Alchemy Plaza was already filled with people. There were also cultivators from other large regions who had heard that someone from the Northern Chill Region was refining a Life and Death Pill, so they rushed over to join in the fun.
There were even many people who had opened up a gambling market in the square, fiercely betting on the victory and defeat of Wang Xiao and Jia Tao.
"It is said that the one refining the Life and Death Pill this time is a young genius of the Pill Dao. One of them is the alchemy genius of the Xuandu Region, Jia Tao."
"What? Who is so bold as to look for Jia Tao to refine the 'Life and Death Pill'?"
"It's said that it's a young man called Wang Xiao. His talent is very strong, and someone crowned him as the number one person in the Dao of Alchemy of the Northern Chill Region. I wonder if he exaggerated it."
"It's too exaggerated. According to what I know, in the Northern Chill Region... The person who held the banner of the Alchemy Path, Lord Ling Xu, is only a tier 8 alchemist. Among the younger generation, there is only one person called Gu He Jun who is worthy of attention. He wants to find Jia Tao to concoct a life and death pill. Is he courting his own death? "
On the plaza, countless people were arguing intensely, and countless people were gambling. Countless cultivators from the other large regions were discussing amongst themselves.
Among them, the people from the other large domains had never seen Wang Xiao's performance in the Pill Grading Assembly. Therefore, they heard that there was a person called Wang Xiao who claimed to be the number one alchemist in the Northern Chill Region, and wanted to refine a 'Life and Death Pill' with the alchemy genius of the Xuan Du Region, Jia Tao. They expressed their disdain towards him.
Jia Tao's name had more or less spread throughout the 18 regions of the Tian Yan Continent. He was the junior of the main branch of the alchemist family in the Profound Capital Region, and a student of the alchemist department of the Profound Capital Academy. He was already a Quasi-Tier 7 alchemist at such a young age. He could be considered a first-rate genius in the entire three regions of the Lower Realm.
Such a genius was sufficient to cause countless young people to look at him from afar and be unable to match up to him.
On the contrary, this young man called Wang Xiao might have some reputation in the Northern Cold Region, but he was definitely not as famous as Gu He Jun and Ling Xu. None of the cultivators who were present from other regions had heard of Wang Xiao.
What "number one alchemist of the Northern Cold Region"? They scoffed, thinking that this was just Wang Xiao's title. Such a nameless junior challenged a genius alchemist of the Xuan Du Region. He really didn't know his own limits!
"Indeed, this young man really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. This old man has once heard of Lord Jia's lecture on alchemy. Young Master Jia's understanding and comprehension of alchemy was unparalleled in the world. A mere nobody that came out of nowhere actually dared to challenge Young Master Jia. Truly arrogant and ignorant! "
An alchemist from the other major domains couldn't help but say. He disdained this young man called Wang Xiao and didn't think highly of him.
"He is just a nobody. He will never be able to defeat the famous Young Master Jia!"
The cultivators from the other major domains also echoed. They didn't involve themselves in the Dao of alchemy. They weren't clear about the matters between alchemists, but they had the same understanding as the alchemists of the other large domains. They believed that Wang Xiao would never win. After a round of pill competition... Not only would he die, but he would also become the laughing stock of Tian Yan Continent. He would become the laughing stock of Tian Yan Zhan Zhou. The cultivators of Tian Yan Continent talked before and after tea.
Hearing this, the cultivators of the Northern Chill Region who participated in the Pill Grading Assembly all remained silent. Before that, , they had also thought the same. They had only seen Wang Xiao's performance in the Pill Grading Assembly. They didn't dare to say that Wang Xiao wasn't strong, even if they called him the number one alchemist in the Northern Chill Region. It wasn't excessive at all.
This was because during the Pill Grading Assembly, Jia Tao had won over the Northern Chill Region's Alchemy Path's flag bearer, Lord Ling Xu. However, Wang Xiao had won against Jia Tao, and it was not excessive at all to call Wang Xiao the number one alchemist in the Northern Chill Region.
Although they had witnessed how powerful Wang Xiao was, they didn't think highly of him, just like the cultivators of the other regions. This was because Jia Tao had already gained the upper hand before refining the 'Life and Death Pill'. Furthermore, Jia Tao also had the family of alchemists and the Profound Capital Academy behind him. Even if Wang Xiao won, he wouldn't be able to gain any benefits.
For the past three days, Wang Xiao had been staying at the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce and hadn't taken a single step away.
In fact, even if Wang Xiao wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to. The entire Imperial City was prohibited by the Great Slaughter Zhao Que. Although it wasn't restricted to entry and exit, Zhao Que could still sense anyone who entered and exited.
As long as Wang Xiao stepped out of the Imperial City, he would be sensed by Zhao Que, and he would instantly arrive at Wang Xiao's location.
However, there was no such restriction on Jia Tao. Hence, he couldn't find any traces of Jia Tao in the Imperial City, and he didn't know where Jia Tao was.
The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce specially arranged a high level courtyard for Wang Xiao. It was forty percent quiet, and there were experts guarding outside the door.
In the courtyard, there was a gourd placed in front of the table in Wang Xiao's room. It was given to him by Junde Hall's Divine Lord Du Ye when Wang Xiao left the Alchemist Association. Wang Xiao did not reject the prize for being the champion of the Pill Grading Assembly.
For the past three days, Wang Xiao did not cultivate the Alchemy Dao's Pill Debate. Instead, he studied the Spirit Nourishing Gourd that Divine Lord Du Ye had given him.
There was no doubt about its appearance, medicinal strength, and characteristics. However, when he carefully examined it, he discovered that there was a difference. It did not have the charm of the Soul Nourishing Gourd.
The Alchemy Canon recorded... The Mysterious Spiritual Gourd was... a fruit that bloomed for three hundred years in a hundred years. It could form nine Mysterious Spiritual Gourds at a time.
The Profound Mysterious Soul Calabash was entirely purple and there was a faint yellow spiritual energy lingering around its body. It had the effect of stabilizing the soul and nourishing the soul. It was a great supplement to the soul, and it was especially beneficial to the destruction of the soul body.
When picking it, one needed to use a jade knife to cut off the stem of the gourd and then immediately use a jade artifact to hold it. If the stem did not hold the jade artifact within three breaths of time, the medicinal effect would be irreversible and the purple gourd would eventually become clear water...2
Although the calabash in front of Wang Xiao was also purple, it did not have spiritual energy lingering around it, nor did it need a jade artifact to hold it. The medicinal strength would not dissipate, and its grade would not be lower than a high-grade spirit medicine.
All kinds of things gave Wang Xiao the same and different feeling.
"Spiritual Nourishing Gourd... Profound Spiritual Nourishing Gourd... Spiritual Nourishing Gourd..." After sensing the difference, Wang Xiao kept thinking about it. He and the others all called the gourd "Profound Spiritual Nourishment Gourd." Ling Xu called the gourd "Spiritual Nourishment Gourd." Compared to the Profound Spiritual Nourishment Gourd, it was two less words.
"Perhaps the problem lies in these two words!"
"Forget it. I'll personally pay a visit to Sage Ling Xu and ask him about this matter once I've resolved the matter in front of me."
Three days passed unknowingly. It was time for Wang Xiao and Jia Tao to refine the 'Life and Death Pill'. Wang Xiao withdrew his thoughts, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an unknown smile.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Wang Xiao's room. There was a man and a woman, an old and a young man. It was Xu Yi, ___, and Dongfang Yue.
When they arrived in the room, both of them first bowed, reminding Wang Xiao that three days had passed and that they had gone to the Alchemy Plaza to meet.
Wang Xiao waved his hand and was the first to leave the room. Xu Yi, ___, and Dongfang Yue followed closely behind.
