Chapter 51: Lightning of Heavenly Punishment, Scarlet Eyeballs! It Shook Gu Xi's Mind

He could feel the powerful power, but it was fleeting. There was an indistinct Dao rhythm flowing around, causing Gu Xi to be a little lost in his thoughts. Even his pupils gradually became dilated.

In the next second, his mind trembled as he looked around once again. The river of time was surging and roaring, and the river water was coming menacingly. His soul followed the flow of the water and arrived in a distant space-time.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, mountains and rivers collapsed, and countless lightning dragons roared, splitting the world into countless pieces. It was under such a tremendous and terrifying power.

Only a human figure stood with his head facing the sky. His black hair fluttered in the wind, as if a demonic God had descended into the world. No matter how furious the Heavenly Dao was, it could not do anything to him.

His back was facing Gu Xi, so his face could not be seen clearly. However, he could feel an enormous power and life aura coming from him.

"It's too powerful."

This was a power that Gu Xi had never seen before. It had long exceeded the scope of his knowledge. Perhaps no one in this world could reach such a realm. This was the first time he felt his insignificance.

He was like an ant. It seemed that as long as this man wanted to, he could easily kill him here. Even so, Gu Xi still looked straight at the man, so much so that his eyes were bloodshot. He did not lower his head.

Even if this was an illusion, it was not something he could pry into recklessly.

He was proud and did not kneel to the Heavens and Earth. So what if the man in front of him was powerful? Gu Xi believed that sooner or later, he would be able to reach such a level. It was only a matter of time.

On the other side, the black gas churned. Suddenly, a huge hole was torn in the sky. Scarlet eyes were revealed, making one's heart break.

Seeing this, Gu Xi's eyes were even more painful. The blood vessels had almost occupied his entire eyeball, but he still did not turn his eyes away. He wanted to see what was behind this natural moat.

Just the eyes alone had occupied more than half of the sky. He did not dare to imagine how huge the creature behind this was. It was brutal and bloodthirsty. All kinds of negative energy intertwined together, and it looked at the man with a covetous gaze.

At the same time, Gu Xi also had a splitting headache. There seemed to be countless voices screaming crazily in his mind.

The lightning dragon rolled. It seemed to be of no use to the man. The red lightning of Heavenly Punishment suddenly descended with great momentum. It was as if everything in the world was about to be buried in this lightning Punishment!

What exactly did this man do wrong?!

On the other side, the terrifying creature also began to move. Only its aura was exposed. The sky was torn even more violently as if it could not withstand this creature at all.

The two most powerful forces in the world swept towards the man, but his figure did not change at all, not even moving a single step.

The incomparably huge cauldron also rose from the side, swallowing the two forces within. It was as if the universe had collided, resounding across the horizon.

Boom!

It was to the extent that the entire universe was filled with smoke. The enormous spiritual power undulations caused the nearby stars to shatter into countless fragments, as if they were instantly destroyed by two invisible hands.

However, all of this happened in an instant.

Even Gu Xi, who was a bystander, was greatly shocked by the power of destruction.

However, there was also some new life in the destruction. It was all brought by the cauldron. Its divine light was clear, like the sun that never set, and it was difficult to see its true appearance.

Gu Xi felt that it was somewhat familiar. Just as he was trying to see clearly, he did not know that his eyes were already bright red, as if there was blood dripping down.

[Beep beep beep]

At this moment, a hurried system notification sounded in his mind. It was different from the previous volume, and it sounded urgent and sharp.

Gu Xi's body shook, and he suddenly woke up. He only felt that his eyes were extremely sore, and he even felt that he could not open them. Numerous illusions appeared in front of his eyes.

[Detected that the host's life is in danger. Activating emergency mode. The system automatically defends and seals dangerous items for the host!]

This was the most dangerous moment Gu Xi had ever faced. However, it was all brought over by the cauldron in front of him.

He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. In a trance, he saw a huge eyeball appear in mid-air. There was also that ancient figure. His eyes felt a piercing pain once again.

Gu Xi did not dare to think about it. He hurriedly pressed those things into the deepest part of his memory. Based on his current cultivation, these were not things that he could come into contact with.

The woman's words were indeed true! Gu Xi's face was slightly pale. If it was not for the System's response, he might have really accidentally fallen into a trap.

At the same time, outside, the cauldron's aura was also leaked out. Many people could feel it.

"What a powerful aura! What kind of treasure is this? I actually felt an inexplicable fear."

"It's too strange. It's as if light and evil powers are intertwined together."

"What kind of identity does that woman have to be able to take out such a strange treasure?"

Everyone was discussing animatedly, which caused quite a commotion.

After flowing light entered, there was no movement on the sixth floor. Logically speaking, this should not have happened. The woman had already said that this treasure was extremely special, and there was even a certain level of danger.

No matter what, there would always be a reaction on the sixth floor. Now that there was a dead silence, it was too strange.

"What about the people on the sixth floor? Are they in any danger?"

"The owner of the Flawless pill must be quite powerful. He should be able to face it."

"That's hard to say. It's not like you didn't notice the aura just now. You might have already been hit."

In the private room, Baizhi suddenly stood up from her chair.

"Will Master be okay..."

"I told you that thing shouldn't be taken out so easily."

Chapter 52: I'm Late, the Saintess of the Demon Region, Mei Qianmeng! Translation

In the private room, Lu Haoxuan was calm. "Don't be nervous, disciple. If he can refine such a high-level medicinal pill, how could he be so easily affected?"

Hearing this, Baizhi was a little hesitant. "But that cauldron is too strange. Even we can't control it. If it weren't for the existence of the Child Cauldron, I'm afraid..."

It turned out that the cauldron just now was the Child and Mother Cauldron! Just now, Baizhi had given them the Mother Cauldron, and the Child Cauldron was still in their hands.

Lu Haoxuan had obtained it from an ancient Mystic Realm. There were the Mother Cauldron and the Child Cauldron, respectively. The Mother Cauldron looked unremarkable, but it was extremely mysterious and filled with inexplicable danger.

On the contrary, the Child Cauldron was gentle and harmless. Moreover, using it to refine medicine was quite effective. It could even improve the strength of the person holding the cauldron and the quality of the medicinal pills.

Lu Haoxuan and Baizhi guessed that if they could combine the two cauldrons into one, they might be able to play a greater role. It was still unknown if they could even use this cauldron to refine a legendary-level medicine.

However, their research had been fruitless for many years. During this period, the Mother Cauldron had even rebelled a few times. If it was not for the Child Cauldron in their hands, they would probably have suffered a lot of injuries.

On the stage, Fan Baohua's heart was also slightly perturbed. He was worried that something might really happen to Gu Xi.

At this moment, Gu Xi's voice rang out once again.

"Not bad."

As usual, it was low and calm.

As soon as his voice fell, the entire audience immediately burst into an uproar. "Just what kind of treasure could actually make that person agree to exchange for a Flawless quality pill?!"

"In my opinion, nothing in this world can compare to it!"

No matter what happened outside, Gu Xi who was in the private room was deep in thought. Just now, before he could even react, his spiritual sense was pulled into a strange space.

It did not seem like he was going back in time, but he was really a bystander. He had experienced the power that could destroy the world, and even now, his eyes were still sore. It could be seen that it had affected him.

Although he did not have time to use the system to test it and did not know how valuable the cauldron was, he could tell that the cauldron must be extraordinary. That strange phenomenon was evidence of this. Perhaps it contained the secrets of the ancient times!

The most important thing was that it could cause such a big reaction from the system and automatically activate the alarm. This was something Gu XI had never seen before, so she agreed to the exchange.

Baizhi was delighted. "Master has agreed to the exchange!"

However, she was a little confused. After all, although the Mother Cauldron was mysterious and might contain powerful power, it was very difficult to use and could not be controlled. If she was not careful, she would be in danger of going mad.

Right now, the only use it had was to affect the Child Cauldron, but this could be ignored.

"But this man is so strange. A Flawless quality pill is such a precious treasure that he actually traded it for this Cauldron."

Baizhi could not help but feel curious about Gu Xi.

Seeing that there was no hope, everyone could not help but feel a little depressed. The treasure they had brought out was obviously extraordinary, but unfortunately, it did not catch that person's eye.

"Then I'll announce the last item for auction –"

Just as Fan Baohua spoke, a faint and strange fragrance drifted over, faintly accompanied by the sound of the bell. Only a delicate laugh could be heard, and one's mind was moved. It was simply soft to the bone.

As if there was incomparable magic power, many people's pupils dilated. Their faces were dull, and they wished they could sink into it.

"I'm late."

The entire venue instantly became extremely quiet, for fear of scaring the beauty. However, upon closer inspection, many people's gazes were mixed with traces of fear.

The ringing of the bell became more and more urgent, as if it was urging the soul to take their lives. A powerful pressure enveloped the top of everyone's heads, and for a moment, many people's faces turned pale, confirming their guesses.

"It's her!"

"To be able to have such a cultivation and enchantment, she must be that person from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Even the people in the far north have received the news. It can be seen that the Flawless pill is enough to drive everyone crazy."

There was an area in the far north, which was located in a remote area. Everyone respected their strength. The strong could seize any position they wanted. It could be said that they were ruthless and merciless.

In addition, their behavior and style were not decent. The Cultivation Methods they practiced were all bloody and evil. It was more like those evil and unorthodox cultivators who were feared and disrespected by other cultivators. Therefore, they were called the Demon Region.

They were also aware of the hostility of these righteous people, so they were usually in the far north.

There was a Saintess in the Demon Region. It was said that her cultivation level was extremely high, and her charm was unparalleled. Her looks were even more devastatingly beautiful, and it was unknown how many people worshipped her.

There was even an even more exaggerated saying that everyone who had seen her appearance would gradually be attracted to her, and then become a puppet that was manipulated by her. In short, although it was an exaggerated rumor, it was enough to show the evil nature of this woman.

The red gauze descended gracefully and extended all the way to the center. The slender figure of the woman was revealed. She walked over barefooted, her small jade-like feet were faintly discernible in the red gauze. The bells on her ankles collided with each other, making people's hearts tremble.

Even though they knew how dangerous this woman was, everyone could not help but be distracted.

"It is said that no one has ever seen her true appearance. Anyone who has seen her will either die or be injured. I wonder if we are lucky enough to see her today."

"Hey, keep your voice down. It is said that she has a strange personality. One second, she is as passionate as fire. The next second, she will send you to hell. It is not something that we can talk about easily."

"Aren't those people from the Demon Region all like this? In short..."

Everyone was whispering. The woman's eyes were like silk, but her face was covered by a red gauze. Even if one could not see her face clearly, the facial features that were faintly revealed were enough to make one lose seven souls.

Fan Baohua looked at the woman who appeared in front of him and instantly felt as if he was facing a great enemy. He did not know that the Saintess of the Demon Region had also come here.

Chapter 53: So What if I Steal Your Prize

The people of the Demon Region were very eccentric. If they did not get the treasure they wanted, they would start a fight. It would probably affect a lot of people. Thinking of this, Fan Baohua decided to seal off the news channels of the northernmost land.

However, he did not expect the people of the Demon Region to be so powerful and still receive the news. He did not expect that the Saintess would actually come uninvited.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "I did not know that the Saintess had graced us with her presence. I have failed to welcome you."

The woman smiled sweetly and exhaled like an orchid. "What you said is not true at all. You deserve to be punished."

It was clearly a flirtatious remark, but suddenly, a wave of pressure surged and ruthlessly pressed down on Fan Baohua's head. Even though fan Baohua's strength was not ordinary, he was already drenched in sweat.

He knew in his heart that it must be because he had angered the Saintess by blocking the news.

As expected, in the next second, the woman approached him. The eyes outside the gauze were bright and loving, but it was as if there was a hook hidden in them that could seduce one's soul.

"Manager Fan, you blocked the news of the northernmost land and didn't let us know about the existence of such a supreme treasure. What exactly are your intentions?"

Fan Baohua raised his head and happened to meet this pair of peach blossom eyes that were filled with charm.

"Perhaps it was my subordinate's mistake. I am willing to apologize."

The woman smiled charmingly and nodded her head with satisfaction. The bell in her hand suddenly began to shake. It was as if a demonic sound was ringing in his ears and invading his mind.

"Since it is an apology, then there must be sincerity. I think that Flawless quality pill is not bad. Why not –"

Fan Baohua's pupils dilated, and his expression gradually became dull. He subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "Then, let's do as the Saintess..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another crisp female voice. "Mei Qianmeng, don't go too far!"

Fan Baohua's body suddenly trembled. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into the trap. A burst of cold sweat broke out. It took a lot of effort for him to move his gaze away and not stare into those eyes.

Seeing that her good deed had been interrupted, a sharp light flashed through Mei Qianmeng's eyes. She suddenly smiled and said, "I was wondering who it was. So you're here too. I wonder if the Alchemy Emperor has been well recently?"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Even the Alchemy Emperor had come!

"There were rumors that the Alchemy Emperor would also come. I didn't expect it to be true."

There were also many people with mysterious identities on the fifth floor. Because they did not want to be known, they would use special methods to get to the floor. In addition, there was a private room that was isolated from spiritual sense detection. Therefore, the people on the lower floor did not know who they were.

"It seems that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce's auction this time is really special. So many important figures have arrived."

"If the Alchemy Emperor obtains it, it's indeed worthy of his name. I heard that he has always wanted to refine a Flawless pill. I wonder if he can use this opportunity to explore the mysteries of divine medicine."

The light in Mei Qianmeng's eyes flickered.

"Previously, when my Master went to ask for medicine, he was rejected by the Alchemy Emperor on the grounds that his body was unwell. Presumably, his illness is now incurable, and he can't even get out of bed and walk."

It was hard to imagine that such vicious words would come out of such a delicate and seductive mouth. Her sweet voice was like honey mixed in, but it also contained an undetectable danger.

Baizhi was instantly infuriated. "Witch! How dare you curse my Master!"

Mei Qianmeng's laughter spread throughout the entire venue. It could be said that she was extremely seductive. Many people who were not able to maintain their composure flushed red in the face. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that I was right and you became angry out of embarrassment?"

As soon as she said that, the red gauze rushed over like a long snake. No one had expected that Mei Qianmeng would be so bold as to attack in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

Just as Baizhi was about to attack, she was stopped by Lu Haoxuan.

"Master, why are you stopping me?"

Lu Haoxuan shook his head and said, "Don't make things more complicated."

He waved his hand, and an invisible spiritual power covered the outer layer of the box. It looked gentle and harmless, but in fact, it could accommodate all rivers. 𝓃𝑶𝐯ℯ𝔩𝗎𝓈𝑩.𝑐𝑂𝔪

The red veil separated at the touch and suddenly fell back into Mei Qianmeng's hand. Her eyes were not surprised, as if she had expected this result. Then, she stopped pestering him and looked at the sixth floor.

"Young Master, do you want to reconsider? My treasure is not inferior to yours. Why are you in such a hurry to make a decision?"

Gu Xi was surprised. He never thought that she would try to secure him.

"Perhaps I will be more suitable for Young Master's appetite."

With that said, the bell in her hand rang. An inexplicable powerful force filled the surroundings. The tyrannical aura within made many people's faces turn pale. Even Fan Baohua was no exception. He was secretly unlucky to have offended this fiend.

Many people felt dizzy. They felt as if they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In the sea of blood, countless skeletons floated in it. A crescent moon slowly rose, appearing bright and clear.

However, there were mountains of corpses around them. One side was ferocious and evil, while the other side was full of holiness. The contrast was more and more obvious, but it was full of weirdness. The moonlight illuminated the sea of blood, everyone suddenly saw their own faces in it.

"What do you think, Young Master?"

The strange thing was that Mei Qianmeng was still down there, but her voice seemed to be very close to Gu Xi. Gu Xi came back to her senses and was amazed by her unpredictable means.

Lu Haoxuan frowned slightly. Baizhi, who was next to him, looked a little serious. "Master, this woman wants to steal his heart!"

There were very few people who were in a clear state of mind.

Most of them looked frightened and twisted as if they were being haunted by a nightmare. Their eyes were fixed on the void, but the huge Chamber of Commerce was terrifyingly quiet.

A faint medicinal fragrance floated out of a private room on the fifth floor, and many people's eyes turned from cloudy to clear.

"Saintess, enough is enough."

The voice that appeared this time was extremely old, but it carried a pressure that could not be ignored.

Mei Qianmeng curled her lips. She did not show any fear even when facing Lu Haoxuan. She said unceremoniously, "Even the person in charge did not speak. Could it be that the Alchemy Emperor wants to use his power to oppress a weak woman like me?"

When everyone present heard this, their expressions immediately became complicated. Mei Qianmeng was a weak woman? It was simply a big joke

Chapter 54: Avoid Danger

There had been rumors that the Alchemy Emperor would also participate in this auction. However, the Alchemy Emperor's identity was special. In addition, he had avoided the world for many years and had not appeared for a long time.

Therefore, whether the news was true or false, the others did not know. At this moment, Mei Qianmeng's words made them believe without a doubt that the Alchemy Emperor had really appeared!

"Not only did a Flawless medicinal pill attract the Saintess of the Demon Region, Mei Qianmeng, but even a figure like Alchemy Emperor was interested."

"Perhaps there are other important figures present as well, but they all concealed their auras and didn't reveal themselves."

"Whether it is the legendary medicinal pill or the presence of these important figures, this auction is a once-in-a-hundred years event. This trip is not in vain."

Everyone present discussed animatedly, their fear of Mei Qianmeng lessening by a lot. After all, with the Alchemy Emperor overseeing the auction, no matter how unbridled Mei Qianmeng was, she did not dare to go too far.

Mei Qianmeng's eyes darkened as her good deeds were ruined by Lu Haoxuan. She still was not willing to give up. After all, this medicinal pill was extremely useful to her. 𝐍𝑜𝑣𝚎𝑙𝐔𝔰𝑏.𝕔𝐎𝑚

"Young Master, you might as well consider it. Just now, you saw how powerful my bell is. Perhaps it's more suitable for Young Master than that broken cauldron."

Even Gu Xi was almost struck by the Dao just now. That scene caused one's soul to tremble. It was as if it was about to melt into the blood moon. The threat it posed was no less than that of the cauldron.

However, Gu Xi was more interested in the cauldron. Perhaps it was because he had a preconceived idea, or perhaps it was because of the time-reversal. The man who appeared was tremendously powerful, and there was definitely some connection between the man and the cauldron. Perhaps it was the former owner of this cauldron.

What kind of person could make the Heavenly Dao so angry and that dark power that came from the void? All in all, Gu Xi was extremely curious.

"Thank you for your good intentions, Saintess. However, I'm afraid that we are not fated."

Gu Xi did not want to offend this Saintess from the Demon Region, so he said it in an extremely tactful manner.

The smile on Mei Qianmeng's face did not change. After taking a closer look, the smile did not reach her eyes. "If Young Master says this, I will be sad."

Her voice was so charming that it penetrated into his bones. It made people want to worship her. Gu Xi had a slightly absent-minded look on his face. He actually had the impulse to go back on his words. However, in a moment, he suppressed it.

Mei Qianmeng's methods were indeed unpredictable. If he was not careful, he would fall into her trap. It seemed that he had to be careful at all times.

In order to avoid any more trouble, Gu Xi decided to end the battle quickly. "Please give the pill to them, Manager Fan."

Similarly, Lu Haoxuan was also a straightforward person. With a flash of light, Gu Xi could feel that the prohibitions were removed from the small cauldron in front of him. It had become an ownerless item.

Everyone was very envious. Mei Qianmeng was also eyeing it covetously. She could not snatch it openly. If it was someone else, it would have been fine. However, Lu Haoxuan was here.

Mei Qianmeng was obviously extremely unwilling. "Young Master is actually able to take out a Flawless medicinal pill. I think it shouldn't be a problem for him to take out another one in the future."

However, these words reminded them that since Gu Xi was able to take out a pill, it should not be too difficult for him to take out a second one.

Everyone's attention once again fell on Gu Xi. He who was originally just enjoying the show had suddenly become a character in the show. Even though they were separated by the private room, Gu Xi could still feel the large, burning gazes of those people.

Mei Qianmeng was really vengeful for the smallest grievance. It was just that he did not agree to exchange with her, so she did this.

"I'll have to ask my Master about this."

However, Gu Xi was not worried at all. All of it was thrown onto that Master who did not exist.

When Lu Haoxuan heard this, he could not help but have a thought. He wanted to ask for advice, but this place was obviously not a good time to chat, not to mention that Mei Qianmeng was still beside him.

Even though Lu Haoxuan was not afraid of Mei Qianmeng, he had to be wary of the Demon Region behind her.

"The Demon Region is extremely hospitable to our guests. I wonder if we can invite Young Master and your master to come to the Demon Region for a chat."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously shivered. Even powerful people would have a hard time entering the Demon Region. If Gu Xi really agreed, he would not be able to return. If he did not shed a layer of skin, the people of the Demon Region would not be willing to let him leave.

However, Mei Qianmeng spoke as if that place was heaven.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Saintess, but I still have to ask my Master's opinion."

Gu Xi could not directly refuse, lest Mei Qianmeng did something again. Anyway, everything could be pushed onto that Master who did not exist.

"That's such a pity."

Gu Xi's repeated rejections did not appear to anger Mei Qianmeng. Her smile became even more beautiful, like a blooming poppy. Everyone knew that it was dangerous, but they could not help but want to approach her.

"My Master misses the Alchemy Emperor very much. If Alchemy Emperor can take this opportunity to develop the secret of the Flawless pill, he will definitely come to congratulate you."

Lu Haoxuan's voice was indifferent. "Then there's no need."

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was attracted by Mei Qianmeng and Lu Haoxuan, Gu Xi sent a signal to the sect and prepared to escape. There was a secret passageway on the sixth level that allowed one to leave directly. This was a special right granted by the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

No wonder the sixth floor was special. It was enough to see how important it was. Otherwise, if one were to take the usual passageway, one would inevitably be targeted by those large factions.

As for what happened in the end in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, that was completely out of Gu Xi's consideration. In any case, he could see that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was not an existence to be trifled with.

Right now, it was the start of the Dao Conference in the Capital. All the sects were gathered here. No matter how bold Mei Qianmeng was, she would not choose to make a move at this time.

Gu Xi's guess was very accurate. Although Gu Xi and the sect members did not know how Fan Baohua and the others would resolve it in the end, people did not cause much trouble overall.

Chapter 55: Blood Oath of Inner Demons! No Secrets Can Be Divulged Translation

Due to Gu Xi's special identity, no matter how the forces behind him tried to find out, the people of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce did not divulge anything. After all, other than Fan Baohua and a few other high-ranking officials, no one knew Gu Xi's true identity.

Fan Baohua, this old fox, spoke and did things flawlessly. If they could not find any useful information, they could not just tie him up and interrogate him. If that was really the case, they were afraid that they would become enemies with the mysterious and powerful forces that stand together with the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the other forces could only return resentfully.

Wu Huaqing and the others were like they were in a dream. They did not even notice when the auction had ended, but Fan Baohua had been waiting for a long time. With Gu Xi's reminder, he naturally would not neglect this group of people.

"Elder Wu, please come this way."

At least there was a protective array inside the private room. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he felt an invisible pressure. Streams of spiritual sense swept over, and the powerful pressure disappeared in a flash. However, he felt as if his entire person was exposed.

It was as if all the secrets were exposed.

Wu Huaqing and the others all had secrets in their hearts. If these people who coveted the Flawless pill knew that they were in contact with Gu Xi, and were even the personal disciples of the Sect Master, they did not dare to imagine what would happen.

It was very common to kill people and steal treasures in the world of cultivators. Moreover, they were just a small Supreme Purity Sect, and they could easily be dealt with.

The others walked out with their heads bowed, as if they were guilty of being thieves, or as if they were children carrying gold in their arms.

"Elder Wu, please rest assured. The information about the auction guests in our Chamber of Commerce is very confidential. We will definitely not reveal any information."

Fan Baohua saw that Wu Huaqing was sweating profusely and seemed to know what he was worried about, so he comforted him.

With these words, although Wu Huaqing still felt a little uneasy, he felt much better than before. "Sorry to trouble you, Manager Fan."

The smile on Fan Baohua's face became even more genuine. "These are all things that we should do."

He glanced at Wu Huaqing and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. "From the way Elder Wu looks, it seems that you are also very surprised that Gu Xi was able to take out such a pill?"

Wu Huaqing revealed a helpless smile and did not answer. Before things became clear, he knew very well that there were many mistakes to be made. Moreover, Fan Baohua had shown great respect to Gu Xi and was trying his best to win him over.

However, he did not dare to bet on the future of the entire Supreme Purity Sect. Moreover, he really did not know about these things.

Seeing that Wu Huaqing did not reply, Fan Baohua did not mind. He tactfully changed the topic to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward. Otherwise, how could he become the manager of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce? He was very skillful in grasping people's hearts.

"Elder Wu, please wait a moment. Young Master Gu will be here soon."

Fan Baohua brought them to the VIP reception room and left. After he left, the crowd was like a pot that had exploded from vigorous boiling.

"Elder, what is going on? What is the background of Senior Brother Gu? Does he actually have a Master? He can even refine Flawless quality pills?"

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Gu to have such a great background. If that's the case, why would he willingly bow down to our Supreme Purity Sect?"

"That's right. Moreover, Senior Brother Gu was an anonymous disciple before he was accepted as the Sect Master's personal disciple. No matter how you look at it, it's a little strange."

Everyone was talking about it, and countless doubts emerged. However, they did not know that Wu Huaqing's confusion was the same as theirs.

It was not unheard of for people in the world of cultivation who had multiple masters at the same time, but in the end, it was still a minority. No one wanted their disciple to be half-hearted and inherit someone else's mantle before he had even learned the ability.

Special circumstances could not be excluded, such as obtaining the inheritance of a powerful figure in the Mystic Realm. However, Gu Xi had already joined the Supreme Purity Sect and was accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master, so it would be inappropriate for him to look for another master.

From the current situation, the master he was talking about should be someone he had already acknowledged before he entered the Supreme Purity Sect.

"A powerful figure who can refine Flawless pills as this has already surpassed Alchemy Emperor. He should be proud and arrogant. Why would he allow his disciple to join the Supreme Purity Sect..." 𝑛𝐎𝒱𝑬𝐥𝑢𝗌𝐛.𝐜𝚘𝗆

Wu Huaqing could not help but sigh. Logically speaking, he should be happy. After all, no matter what, he would be able to form a relationship with a mysterious powerful figure.

However, when he thought of those factions that were eyeing the Flawless pill covetously, he felt somewhat worried.

Wu Huaqing's expression instantly became extremely solemn. "I want you all to swear a blood oath with your inner demons. You can not divulge any information about what happened today or about Gu Xi."

The blood oath with your inner demons could be said to be the most powerful and most poisonous oath. Once you violated it, you would die and your Dao would vanish. Moreover, even your soul would be suppressed by your inner demons and you would never be able to reincarnate.

Everyone's hearts trembled. When they met Wu Huaqing's stern and determined gaze, they knew that he was not joking.

Even though these disciples were the core of the sect and would never betray the sect, Wu Huaqing did not dare to gamble. He could not gamble either. If he was about to step into the wrong path, Gu Xi might have ways to escape. However, the entire sect would be in deep trouble.

Not to mention the Demon Region, any random force on the fourth level could wipe them out completely. He had no choice but to make this decision.

As the disciples made their inner demon blood oath one by one, Wu Huaqing said apologetically, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just for the sake of the sect. After all, this matter involves a lot of people. If you reveal even the slightest bit of it, the sect will be doomed."

He did not have powerful strength, but he was involved with the legendary medicinal pills. There was no need to think about what would happen.

Just as everyone was discussing, someone suddenly shouted, "Senior Brother Gu is here!"

Chapter 56: Suspicion From Wu Huaqing

𝓷𝔬𝚟𝓮𝒍𝑢𝑠𝑏.𝓬𝑂𝕞

Wu Huaqing's expression did not change at all. On the other hand, the others, like Moses parting the sea, made way for Gu Xi. There was a probing look on their faces, but more of it was reverence.

"Come with me."

There was only him and Gu Xi left in the vast space. Wu Huaqing's gaze was sharp as he fixed his gaze on Gu Xi, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

Wu Huaqing was puzzled and asked, "What is your identity and background? Why did you enter our Supreme Purity Sect?"

Knowing that Wu Huaqing was suspicious, Gu Xi had long expected such a scene. If Wu Huaqing pretended that nothing had happened and instead came to curry favor with him, he would be worried.

That would mean that Wu Huaqing could lower his head and curry favor for the mysterious strength behind him, even ignoring the danger to the sect. In the future, he could also easily betray Gu Xi for greater benefits.

"Elder Wu, I sincerely joined the Supreme Purity Sect."

Gu Xi's words were right. The original owner of the Flawless pill was indeed sincere. That fake master was just a lie he made up in order to avoid Mei Qianmeng and others.

However, he could not let Wu Huaqing know about this.

Wu Huaqing obviously did not believe this, "You were able to take out the Flawless pill that all alchemists dream of, and even used it to auction for other treasures. From this, it can be seen that you must have a very strong background. What is the purpose of coming to our Supreme Purity Sect?"

Gu Xi's expression was very innocent, "Elder Wu, I merely obtained some opportunities by chance. As for the more specific details, I'm not at liberty to reveal them. But I can tell you one thing for sure, I have no ill intentions or motives towards the Supreme Purity Sect."

He had accidentally transmigrated and reincarnated, and he the Extraction System. This was considered an opportunity.

Elder Wu could see that Gu Xi was sincere, but this could not dispel the doubts in his heart.

"Elder Wu, to put it bluntly, what do you think is worth coveting in Supreme Purity Sect? Besides, I've been in the sect for so long. Have I ever done anything harmful to the sect?"

Wu Huaqing's expression suddenly became subtle. It was indeed as Gu Xi had said. He wanted to use the Flawless quality medicinal pills to exchange for the most precious treasures in the world. Any one of the random items here was more powerful than all the items in the Supreme Purity Sect combined.

"Cough cough."

He cleared his throat and tried to resolve his embarrassment. Just as Gu Xi had said, he had been in the Supreme Purity Sect for a long time and had always been ordinary. It was only until recently that he had risen up in a powerful manner. Indeed, he had never done anything harmful to the sect.

"Therefore, Elder Wu, you can rest assured."

Seeing that Gu Xi had already said so much, if Wu Huaqing said anything more, he would appear to be a little suspicious. Moreover, Gu Xi had an extraordinary background. If he could befriend him, it would be of great benefit to the sect.

"Forget it, let's drop this matter. As long as you have no other intentions for the sect."

Even though Wu Huaqing still had many doubts in his heart, he did not want to probe further. Even if he asked, he would not be able to get anything out of him. Everyone had their own secrets, and Gu Xi was no exception.

Perhaps the reason why Gu Xi's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds this time was because of that mysterious master. It could be said to be a great opportunity.

This was also a great opportunity for the entire Supreme Purity Sect.

"Cultivate well and be careful in everything. The forces on the fourth or fifth level are not to be trifled with. There is also the Demon Region watching you like a tiger watching its prey. Even if the Master behind you is powerful, it will not be easy to deal with these forces."

Wu Huaqing's seriousness gradually disappeared, but it was replaced by kindness and worry. Gu Xi was happy to see such a change.

"Thank you for your advice, Elder Wu. I know what to do."

At the moment, Gu Xi had no intention of leaving Supreme Purity Sect.

With his strength, he could go to a more powerful sect with more resources, which meant that there was more room for development. However, it was also very dangerous. There was no lack of old monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. If they found out about his secrets or the existence of the System, he would be exposed with a Soul-searching spell, and he would be in great danger.

Thinking of this, taking into account various factors and the environment, these large sects were not within Gu Xi's choice. On the contrary, he did not need to worry about being exposed by sects like the Supreme Purity Sect. Even if there were people who had ill intentions against him, he would be able to handle it.

"Alright, you should rest well. In a few days, the Dao Conference will be held in the Capital. You should prepare well."

After giving a few more instructions, Wu Huaqing let Gu Xi go down to rest.

However, not long after he walked out, many of his fellow disciples surrounded him and shouted in unison, "Hello, Senior Brother Gu!"

Compared to his previous isolation, Gu Xi could be said to be an existence that was worshipped by the stars at this moment. Almost no one could match up to his position.

Gu Xi's expression was indifferent, and he did not have much of a reaction.

The other people in Supreme Purity Sect did not think as far ahead as Wu Huaqing. Their eyes were filled with shock and admiration, especially the alchemists in the sect. They looked as if they had seen a living bodhisattva, wishing that they could worship Gu Xi.

After all, if they could receive the guidance of the mysterious master behind Gu Xi, it would be a leap to the Heavens for them.

Wu Huaqing looked at the scene outside and felt a little funny and helpless. He said with a cold face, "Why are you all so free? Don't forget that the Dao Conference in the Capital is about to begin."

Only then did everyone return to their rooms.

However, they had already made an agreement with Wu Huaqing not to reveal any information related to Gu Xi. Even if they asked, it might arouse suspicion.

Therefore, they planned to discuss it with Gu Xi when they returned to the sect. It would save Gu Xi a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Chapter 57: Flying Down Three Thousand Feet, Suspected to Be the Milky Way Falling into the Nine Heavens

Gu Xi announced to the outside world that he was going into closed-door cultivation to prepare for the Dao Conference in the Capital in the next few days. The people of the Supreme Purity Sect naturally did not dare to disturb him.

When night fell, no one noticed that the black shadow was fleeting. It was like a ghost, almost impossible to catch its tracks. Using the cover of the night, it arrived at the top of the mountain in the southwest direction of the Capital.

This place was uninhabited. It could be said to be desolate.

This person was Gu Xi. He had casually set up a few formations to prevent his aura from leaking out and attracting attention.

Gu Xi summoned the cauldron that he had exchanged with the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. Under the cold moonlight, even the copper rust outside the cauldron was stained with an unfathomable light. As it reflected in his eyes, it seemed even more profound.

"What secret do you have?"

When he was in the Chamber of Commerce earlier, because of the crisis brought by the cauldron, Gu Xi was placed in a time reversal. This caused the system to turn on the emergency mode and seal it up, so he didn't have the time to check it out.

In addition to the appearance of Baizhi, Mei Qianmeng, and the others, Gu Xi did not want to be distracted. Now, there was finally no one to disturb him.

There was another worry, which was that they had already made such a big fuss earlier. Gu Xi was afraid that they would see through his identity or that they would attract the attention of some people. That was why he chose this time and place, plus the layers of formations.

Even if the commotion was big, he still had time to clean up the mess.

[The System has detected the sealed item. Do you want to remove the seal?]

"Yes."

Gu Xi chose 'yes' without hesitation. He was already mentally prepared.

The ancient aura appeared once again. In an instant, the stars twinkled as if they had been stimulated by something. One after another, they fell from the night sky. The meteors streaked across the sky one after another, dazzling and bright.

They fell towards the cauldron in Gu Xi's hand!

There was no external force to activate it. It just floated in the air, absorbing the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

Gu Xi was shocked by the scene in front of him. He did not know if it was his imagination, but the moonlight suddenly became bright. It was as if something was falling with the stars. It was as if the Milky Way was flowing in the sky, giving off a mysterious light.

It flew down three thousand feet. It was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen into the Nine Heavens.

This appeared in Gu XI's mind.

The ordinary cauldron had been baptized by the stars and was stained with silver color. Some of the copper rust seemed to have fallen off. Gu Xi took a few glances and then looked away.

The last time his soul was pulled into an unknown space-time, it was because he had looked at the cauldron for too long. Gu Xi guessed that the great danger that Baizhi had mentioned might be related to this.

[The seal has been lifted. Considering the uniqueness of this item, the System has suppressed the uncontrollable power for the host.]

[Testing in progress.]

[The System has detected '???'. It is 'The Child and Mother Cauldron'.]

[98,758 damage points have been detected. The value after repair is '???']

Looking at the series of question marks, even Gu Xi himself was dumbfounded. Ever since he obtained the system, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.

What surprised him the most was that there were simply too many damage points on this cauldron. It was the rarest of all the objects he had examined.

It must be known that the cauldron was damaged so badly, and yet it was still so powerful that it could affect him. Even the system had helped him. This showed how special the cauldron was.

"System, you actually have something that can't be detected?"

[The host's cultivation level is not high enough, so the System can't detect it.]

...

After a long time, it turned out that the problem was with him. Gu Xi was deep in thought. It seemed that it was as he had guessed. The origin of this cauldron was extremely profound. It was not that the system could not detect it, but that his cultivation level was too low.

The owner of this cauldron must be very powerful, and it was very likely that he was a supreme-being expert! He had already reached the Void-shattering stage, which was why such a phenomenon had occurred.

The image of that man once again appeared in Gu Xi's mind. No wonder, after all, he was able to fight against several destructive forces alone. This was enough to prove his strength. He was a world-class expert! He was unrivaled. 𝑵𝒪𝑣𝔢𝓛𝗎𝓈𝑩.𝗰𝒐𝓂

Even the lightning of Heavenly Punishment could do nothing to him!

Gu Xi could not help but feel admiration for him. He did not know when he would be able to reach that stage. Looking at the System's data, he suddenly felt a little worried.

"With so much damage, I don't know when I will be able to repair it successfully."

However, it was only for a moment of frustration. Gu Xi was never someone who was easily defeated by difficulties. Even though it was not easy to repair this cauldron, with the magic treasure in his hands and the help of the system, it was only a matter of time before his strength increased.

"Mother and Child Cauldron. It seems like there are two of these cauldrons. I just don't know if the one in my hands is the Mother Cauldron or the Child Cauldron."

Gu Xi guessed that he should be holding the Mother Cauldron. After all, the threat it posed to him was so great. Generally speaking, the Mother Cauldron was the stronger one of the two cauldrons. So, the Child Cauldron should still be with that woman.

"If there's a chance, I hope I can get my hands on the Child Cauldron. After all, it's the Mother and Child Cauldron. This way, I might be able to unravel the secret within and speed up the repair of this cauldron."

Gu Xi looked up at the top of his head. Everything had returned to normal. The magnificent scene just now was like a flash in the pan. It was all just an illusion.

The cauldron in his hand had returned to its normal appearance. Gu Xi could feel that no matter how long he looked at it this time, he did not feel dizzy. It must be because of the system.

Gu Xi also noticed that the system had used damage values instead of flaws this time. He did not know why, but it might be because this cauldron was too special, so it was different from the past.

If it was an ordinary magic treasure, with such a large damage value, there would not even be any residue left. However, the fact that this cauldron could last for so long and still possess such great power made Gu Xi extremely emotional.

He guessed that the cauldron might have been from ancient times, or perhaps even further back in time.

Chapter 58: The Gathering of Heroes, the Prelude to the Capital's Dao Conference

"The System is now repairing."

[Repair damage 367]

[Repair damage 475]

Gu Xi had used two consecutive repair opportunities to repair so little. With such few points, it would take a long time before he could completely repair it.

[Due to the special nature of this item, as the host's ability increases, the number of repair points will also increase.]

Gu Xi could not help but sigh. He might as well start with the Child Cauldron first. Perhaps he would have a chance to obtain it. Perhaps by then, it would be easier to repair it.

Gu Xi was eager to research the secret of the Child and Mother Cauldron. He had been studying it for a few days, and soon it was time for the Capital Dao Conference.

The huge conference hall was filled with powers from all directions. Even the most spacious places would seem crowded. Fortunately, the Capital was vast. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for so many people to suddenly pour in.

Almost all of the sects and powers that were currently in the limelight in the Capital had arrived. After all, this was their local territory, so they could not lose to the others outside. Other than that, more than half of the famous sects in the major cities had also arrived.

It could be said that a group of heroes had gathered. Any person they picked up and stomped their feet was an existence that could cause quite a stir.

Although not all of the sects were qualified to participate, there was no lack of people or powers that had received the news and liked to watch the show.

"This year's Capital Dao conference seems to have more people than in previous years."

"That's right. Those reclusive sects have all come out in the past. I heard that they originally didn't plan to participate."

"They were all attracted by the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce's auction of that Flawless quality pill. Even the Alchemy Emperor appeared this year."

"That pill was also obtained by the Alchemy Emperor in the end. It's said that it was exchanged with an item."

"What! There's actually such a good thing? Such a precious and precious pill was actually exchanged with an item. Is that person crazy?"

"Even the people of the Demon Region have come out. Do you know that Demoness Mei Qianmeng? If it wasn't for the Alchemy Emperor being present at the time, I'm afraid she would have made a move to snatch it!"

Although the people of the Demon Region respectfully called Mei Qianmeng the Saintess, most of the people who loathed the Demon Region called them devils, and Mei Qianmeng was naturally no exception.

"No way. The people of the Demon Region would have such courage. This is the Capital, and there are so many sects here. Could it be that they want to provoke a conflict between the Demon Region and the cultivation world?" 𝑵𝒪𝑣𝔢𝓛𝗎𝓈𝑩.𝗰𝒐𝓂

"Those lunatics of the Demon Region must be used to doing as they please. They can do anything, can't they?"

Even though it had been some time since the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce's auction, there were still quite a few people discussing the matter at that time. The heat of this matter had always been high.

For the Capital's Dao Conference Competition, the people of the capital had specially established an Elder Council to be in charge of the competition's matters. These people are elders of the super large sects who were highly respected. Thus, the possibility of favoritism was eliminated.

After all, even if you had a relationship with one of them, you could not have a relationship with all the elders. Bribing them was impossible. Moreover, the judges were all super powerful figures. They guaranteed absolute fairness, preventing any backdoors or bribery of judges.

The Capital Dao Competition could be said to be absolutely fair and strict. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many people to participate. However, its main purpose was to make it easier for everyone to communicate, it was to provide a convenient platform for all the cultivators in the world.

After all, even if you could not participate in the competition, you would still gain experience from it. If you could receive the guidance of a super powerhouse, it could be said to be a meteoric rise.

The Supreme Purity Sect's team was at the back of the crowd. Their position could be said to be very bad. After all, they were not in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. With Fan Baohua opening a backdoor for them, they were all ranked according to their strength.

The more powerful the sect was, the more likely they were to win. For a sect like theirs, it would be impossible for them to stand out among so many powerful sects, let alone win.

Everyone was satisfied to have a good ranking, but even so, it was difficult to climb to the sky.

Last time, there was the Dao Conference in the Capital, and the Supreme Purity Sect had been selected in the primary selection. It was not easy for a few people to pass the five trials and kill six generals, but they still could not enter the finals.

"With Senior Brother Leng here this time, according to his talent and strength, he will definitely be able to enter the finals of the Dao of the Sword."

"If you ask me, Senior Brother Gu's chances of winning are still higher. After all, he..."

The disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect immediately revealed a look of understanding. It could be said that Gu Xi was their greatest trump card this time.

In the face of the discussions of the crowd, Gu Xi was actually quite calm. In any case, regardless of whether he could obtain a good ranking or not, just that Mother and Son Cauldron alone was enough for him to make this trip worthwhile.

He did not know if he would be able to collect any other rare treasures.

A cauldron like the Mother and Son Cauldron could be said to be something that could only be found by chance. After all, back then in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, there were so many people who offered rare treasures to exchange with Gu Xi, but he was not interested in many of them.

The bell in Mei Qianmeng's hand, Gu Xi was a little interested. He could tell that it was also an extraordinary item, but Mei Qianmeng was too dangerous.

If he were to interact with her, he might easily be targeted by the Demon Region behind her. At that time, he would lose a lot. It would not be worth it.

Just as Gu Xi was thinking, the Capital Dao Conference had already begun.

Buzz–

Accompanied by the faint sound of the bell, it was as if the sound of the Great Dao was filling his ears. An old man stepped onto the stage, his body emitting a powerful aura.

"The Capital Dao Conference will begin. The first match will be the Dao of Alchemy!"

Chapter 59: The Arrival of the Alchemy Emperor. Everyone's Excitement

As the name implied, the rules of the competition were straightforward. Everyone refined pills together. Whoever refined the most powerful pill would be the final winner.

"The competition is divided into three rounds. The pill needs to be refined within the stipulated time. If the time is exceeded, or the cauldron explodes midway, or the pill does not meet the standards, it will be considered a failure."

"If any cheating or framing of the opponent occurs, once discovered, it will be considered as a forfeit. You will be immediately expelled and your eligibility to participate will be permanently revoked."

"I'm looking forward to everyone's performance."

The voice of the old man rang out from the judges' seats. It was deafening, as if he was close at hand. One could see that his face was amiable, his beard and hair were all white, and his body was emitting various medicinal fragrances. Everyone could not help but feel their spirits jolt.

"It's Alchemy Emperor Lu! Alchemy Emperor Lu is here too!"

Someone recognized Lu Haoxuan's identity and immediately became extremely excited. Who did not know that Lu Haoxuan had hidden from the world for many years, devoting himself to researching Flawless pills, and had rarely been seen?

Even at the Capital Dao Conference, he had refused to appear many times. Many had never thought that he would actually appear here this time.

"If I can win this time and gain the favor of Alchemy Emperor Lu, not to mention being chosen by him as a disciple, even getting a few pointers from him would be immensely beneficial."

This was the Alchemy Emperor's guidance. Many people came because of his fame and wanted to pay him a visit, but were rejected by Lu Haoxuan. Not everyone could meet the world-famous Alchemy Emperor, and there were countless people who wanted to obtain medicinal pills.

Now that this great opportunity was placed in front of everyone. The distance between them and the Alchemy Emperor was so close!

For a moment, the eyes of all the alchemists became bright, and a fierce fighting spirit rose in their hearts.

Everyone rubbed their fists, hoping that the Alchemy Emperor would take a fancy to them or give them some pointers. From then on, not only would their path of alchemy be smooth, they would at least be able to solve many problems.

Compared to most of the alchemists who seemed to be on stimulants, Gu Xi appeared exceptionally calm. Suddenly, his gaze paused, and he saw a woman standing at the front of the crowd, leisurely and independent.

Her green dress was like a lotus flower that had been cut open. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as if a pool of spring water had bloomed. As she walked, green waves appeared, and the hem of her dress created ripples. It was as if a cool breeze had brushed past her face.

She was like a lotus flower that had bloomed in the middle of summer. She stood tall and graceful as she stood alone, unconsciously attracting the attention of the people around her. It was none other than Baizhi. As the Alchemy Emperor's disciple, she had also participated in this competition.

Her status was naturally priceless. She was ranked at the top along with the other super forces. Gu Xi was almost standing at the back of the team, and the two of them looked at each other from afar.

Baizhi seemed to have noticed the gaze, turned her head, and disappeared. Her beautiful eyes swept across the bustling crowd, as if it was her illusion just now.

At this moment, the crowd had already begun to move. Baizhi drew a spell with both hands, and with a flash of inspiration, a small and exquisite cauldron appeared in front of her.

On it were carvings of flowers, birds, fish, and insects. It looked lifelike and full of vitality. It formed a small world of its own, as if it was about to come to life. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

Her slender jade-like hand swept over the medicinal herbs and threw them into the cauldron. The entire process was smooth and unhurried, and her every movement was indescribably elegant. It was as pleasing to the eye as a landscape painting.

Baizhi was young, she looked like she was in her twenties. After all, she was the Alchemy Emperor's disciple, so no one dared to underestimate her. 𝗇𝑶𝒱𝑒𝗅𝗎𝚜𝑩.𝐜𝑜𝓂

"The first round's requirements are very simple. Refine a fifth grade, the Origin Convergence Pill. Although the grade of the pill isn't high, this Origin Convergence Pill is extremely difficult to refine. The difficulty isn't any less than those of the sixth or seventh grade."

"As expected of the Alchemy Emperor as the judge. The requirements are actually so strict. Even the task for the first round is so difficult. I wonder how many people will be sifted out."

Looking at the situation in the arena, everyone discussed animatedly. It turned out that although this Origin Convergence Pill was a fifth grade medicinal pill, as the name implied, it was in the words 'Origin Convergence'. This required the alchemist's aura to be very stable during the process of refining the pill, there could not be any mistakes.

Otherwise, if there were any small mistakes, such as the medicinal ingredients had not completely fused or the temperature was right, it would cause the inner Origin Qi of the pill to leak out, resulting in the eventual inability to refine the Origin Convergence Pill.

Therefore, the conditions for refining the Origin Convergence Pill were extremely harsh, to the point of being picky. There was no room for any deviation. This was a headache for many alchemists.

Not long after, they saw black smoke rising slowly in the arena. This meant that some of the participants had lost their Origin Qi in the process of refining the pill. That was why there was such a scene.

Wisps of black smoke dissipated into the wind one after another.

Many people revealed dispirited expressions. A failure in refining meant that everything had to be redone. The alchemists did not have that much time to repent and blame themselves, so they could only start over.

Although refining the Origin Convergence Pill was not easy, there was one thing that was worth rejoicing over. Its medicinal effects were relatively mild, so there were still very few cases of cauldrons exploding.

However, it was already half past the time and everyone was intensifying their refining. Everyone's expressions were grave. The spectators on the sidelines took a glance out of the corner of their eyes and discovered that at the back of the team, there was actually someone who had not even taken out his cauldron!

It was a little out of place with the tense atmosphere on the competition grounds.

"What's going on? Am I seeing things? It's almost half past the time of the competition and there's actually someone who hasn't even taken out his tools. What is he doing?"

The others hurriedly looked over as well. That person was none other than Gu Xi. He refined medicinal pills as he pleased, relying entirely on his own fumbling. It was not Orthodox, and no one had ever given him any guidance, relying on his own understanding.

It could be said that he was completely blind. Even refining the Flawless medicinal pill back then was an accident.

Chapter 60: A Maverick! A Cauldron for Beginners to Practice With

At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly saw other people's alchemy. It could be said that there were all kinds of methods and tricks. For a moment, he was a little engrossed in it and forgot about the time.

However, he had never thought that he would stand out from the crowd. After all, it was such an important competition, and an Alchemy Emperor was overseeing it. Everyone was putting in all their effort and sharpening their minds to be in the limelight. Gu Xi's attitude seemed maverick.

"No way, no way. He can't be refining the Origin Convergence Pill, right?"

Although the Origin Convergence Pill was difficult to refine, most people were still able to refine tier 5 pills. No matter how bad it was, at least they would refine it halfway. At least, one had to show a fighting attitude.

It was just like a test. No matter how many questions one did not know how to answer, one could randomly answer. Who knows, one might just get lucky and get a few points. It was better than doing nothing and handing in a blank paper.

"How can there be such a person who doesn't care about the competition? This is simply disrespecting pill refinement and insulting the Alchemy Emperor!"

Some people who could not participate in the competition saw Gu Xi's appearance and posturing and were instantly angered. They wished they could kick Gu Xi out and personally participate in the competition.

"Could it be that this kid is grandstanding and wants to refine the pill at the last moment to get the Alchemy Emperor's attention? He's really good at scheming."

"He's too good at showing off. Was he trying to pull off the 'I'll let you guys refine first and I can catch up with you guys easily' kind of thing?"

"He's already showing off to this extent. This is the Capital's Dao Conference. Does he have to show off like this?"

There were even some people who suspected Gu Xi's motive. After all, it was impossible to be the first. Being the last to hand in his paper was also quite eye-catching.

When the Supreme Purity Sect people heard the discussions around them, they also looked a little uneasy. They knew Gu Xi's strength. No matter what, he should not be like this now.

"Elder, what is Senior Brother Gu trying to do? If he doesn't refine the pills soon, I'm afraid it will be too late."

At this time, the incense on the field had already been burned by more than half. It would be a big joke if he acted too pretentiously and did not have time to refine the pills.

Gu Xi had never played by common sense. He was mysterious and unpredictable. How could Elder Wu possibly know what he was thinking? He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. There's no use in us being anxious."

Wu Huaqing was also an alchemist. Logically speaking, he should be paying the most attention to the situation on the stage. However, at this moment, he appeared to be somewhat absent-minded.

After all, Gu Xi had given him too much shock and surprise, so much so that Wu Huaqing had not yet adjusted himself.

The other disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect all believed Gu Xi's words. They thought that the medicinal pill was taken out by a mysterious Master behind him. Only Wu Huaqing himself knew that this medicinal pill was very likely refined by Gu Xi himself.

If he could refine a Flawless pill, how could a mere Origin Convergence Pill possibly be difficult for Gu Xi?

Although the disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect felt that Wu Huaqing was a little strange, they did not say anything in the end. Instead, they paid close attention to the movements in the arena.

Gu Xi finally withdrew his wandering gaze and thought about the cauldron he had exchanged with the Alchemy Emperor. After thinking for a moment, he casually took a random cauldron. After all, it was not the time for the finals yet. There was no need to use that cauldron.

However, in the next second, he once again found himself in a dilemma. What was the first step in refining the Origin Convergence Pill?

Everyone saw that Gu Xi had finally taken out the cauldron. It was a very ordinary cauldron. There were not any unnecessary decorations or patterns on its body, and it looked rather grey.

It was like a new cauldron that could be bought and practiced on the streets with just a few spirit stones. Even if it was damaged, it would not cause any heartache.

"I, I didn't see wrongly, right? Isn't this the cauldron that only newbies use?"

The others immediately became speechless.

Who did not know that a good cauldron had extremely powerful effects? Not only could it assist an alchemist, but it could also provide all kinds of bonuses during the refining process, solidifying the medicinal effects, and making the quality of the final core formation even higher.

Moreover, it could also greatly increase the success rate of refining pills. Therefore, choosing a cauldron that was suitable for oneself could be said to be extremely important. If one wanted to do a good job, one must first sharpen the weapon. If even the tool that was suitable was not good enough, how could one expect him to be able to refine a good pill?

"Which sect is this person from? He took out a cauldron for beginners. I'm afraid he's not here to joke. His sect is so poor that they can't even provide him with a proper cauldron?"

"This is simply the greatest joke in the world. There have been so many Dao Competitions held in the capital, but this is the first time I've seen someone take out such a cauldron to participate in the competition."

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect lowered their heads silently. Many of them looked at Wu Huaqing as if they were condemning him for not giving Gu Xi a good cauldron.

Wu Huaqing was shocked. "Why are you all looking at me?!"

It seemed that Gu Xi was not short of money. The Sect Master and the elders had given him a lot of good things. He really did not expect that he would use a novice cauldron to participate in the competition.

The people of Supreme Purity Sect sneaked to the back to avoid being found out that they were from that 'poor' and 'stingy' sect.

It was too unfair! They were innocent!

If that was all, it would have been fine. After all, who would use a novice cauldron to participate in such an important competition? It was hard not to attract attention.

Even though Gu Xi was standing at the back, he still attracted the attention of many people. They could see his every move clearly.

"Why did he put the Seven-star Silver Bell Grass in? This should be the last one."

"Wrong, the sequence is all wrong. The Origin Convergence Pill requires the myriad forms to return to the Origin. He is so messy, it would be strange if he could return to the Origin. Does this person know how to refine the Origin Convergence Pill? How did he get into the competition?"

Chapter 61: He Stunned Everyone's Eyes. He Actually Managed to Refine It

Everyone was speechless when they saw Gu Xi's actions. They even wondered how Gu Xi managed to get a spot in the competition.

Anyone who had some basic knowledge of pharmacology knew that they could not do that. However, Gu Xi just had to step on every single one of them.

In contrast to his outrageous behavior, the others on the stage were much more normal. Soon, everyone no longer paid attention to him and turned to look at the other contestants.

Without a second thought, he would be eliminated in the first round.

"Look over there!"

Soon, everyone saw a wisp of white smoke rising slowly. This was the phenomenon of the completion of the Origin Convergence Pill. This wisp of smoke was surprisingly coming out of Baizhi's cauldron. 𝓷𝞸𝔳𝐞𝐥𝓊𝐒𝑏.𝒸𝞸𝓜

The white smoke seemed to be about to solidify. It was as if a crane was flying into the cauldron along with a cinnabar tree. It was also as if a hundred flowers were blooming, attracting colorful butterflies to dance. Everyone could faintly hear the chirping of insects and birds. All sorts of strange phenomena followed one after another, it made people sigh.

If nothing unexpected happened, this cauldron of pills would definitely be successfully refined. Moreover, the quality of the pills was perfect. Otherwise, such a situation would not have occurred.

"It looks like she's going to succeed. As expected of the Alchemy Emperor's disciple. She should be the first person to successfully refine the pills."

"As expected, the disciple will eventually be better than the master. It seems that the Alchemy Emperor has a successor."

There were some people who flattered her, but most of them recognized Baizhi's strength. After all, this was a fact that everyone had seen with their own eyes.

In the face of the praise and discussion of the crowd, Baizhi was unmoved. Her red lips were slightly pursed, like a ripe cherry that was hanging on a book, looking plump and juicy.

"Rise!"

As she shouted, the lid of the cauldron floated in the air, and a few round pills flew out immediately. As if they were summoned, they fell into Baizhi's hands spontaneously.

The slender jade hands formed a sharp contrast with the pills as if they were perfect artistic objects. They were simply pleasing to the eye, so much so that the surrounding crowd burst into cheers.

As expected, Baizhi was the first to successfully refine it. She looked at the other contestants calmly.

Soon, the second and third wisps of white smoke appeared one after another, which meant that the other contestants had also successfully refined it. At the same time, there was also a lot of black smoke mixed in. For a moment, the black and white colors intertwined together, forming a particularly strange scene.

It could be seen that even if it was the second time, there were still many people who failed.

"It's said that fifth grade origin convergence pills are difficult to refine. I didn't believe it at first, but now I've learned a lot."

"It seems that many people would be selected in this round of competition."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the host stepped forward and announced, "The first round of competition is over! Everyone, please stop your actions."

The alchemists present did not dare to disobey the host's words, or else they would also be disqualified from the competition. The referee began to inspect the pills.

Lu Haoxuan was the final referee, so it was not his place to personally handle such a small matter.

The referee quickly looked over. Many people who failed to refine the pills were sifted out. When he passed by Gu Xi, his footsteps paused slightly. His gaze stopped on the cauldron, and his expression was a little surprised.

If he was not mistaken, this seemed to be a cauldron used for beginners to practice.

The referee could not help but take a few more glances, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips. This person actually used this cauldron to refine the Origin Convergence Pill. It was as if he was just playing around. This guy must really think that this place was a joke.

He did not even think about crossing out Gu Xi's name. How could such a person refine the pill? However, in the next second, he froze on the spot, and the pen in his hand also left a dark mark on the register.

"This is..."

The referee could not believe what he saw. He saw a few pills lying around Gu Xi. They were Origin Convergence Pills! He could not help but rub his eyes. He thought that he was hallucinating.

It was really refined!

The referee could not help but ask, "You refined this?"

Gu Xi nodded.

Could it be cheating? The referee thought of this year. However, looking around, there was no possibility of Gu Xi cheating.

The position of the arena was determined by the position of the sect. For example, the big sects were at the front, followed by the weaker sects.

Therefore, the people around Gu Xi were still slightly weaker. They looked at the cauldron in front of them with dispirited expressions. Black smoke kept pouring out. Obviously, many people failed, but few succeeded.

How could Gu Xi cheat under such circumstances?

The referee turned around in disbelief. His face was full of surprise. Baizhi had also discovered the novice cauldron. She could not help but feel a little curious. Who was the person who used a novice cauldron?

Her beautiful eyes moved around, wanting to see more clearly. However, the referee had already counted the number of people and announced that the second match was about to begin. Baizhi had no choice but to give up.

Many people left the arena. They were all people who had failed to refine the Origin Convergence Pill.

Many people outside the arena shook their heads. As they had expected, there were many people who had been eliminated in the first round. Almost half of them had been eliminated.

"Sigh, the Origin Convergence Pill is already so difficult to refine. I wonder what problems will come up in the future."

"After all, the Alchemy Emperor is here. It's probably impossible to fish in troubled waters under the noses of the big shots."

"The Alchemy Emperor's requirements are too harsh. We don't know who the final victor will be."

Just as everyone was discussing, someone suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent. He could not help but exclaim in surprise, "Are you kidding me? He's actually still here!"

Chapter 62: How Is This Possible? The Medicine Sect Has Appeared! Translation

They saw that Gu Xi, who was previously looked down upon by the crowd and even ridiculed by them, was actually still standing at the same spot.

Not only was he using a beginner's cauldron to refine the Origin Convergence Pill, but the sequence was completely wrong. It could be said that it was upside down and chaotic. It was simply impossible to refine it. However, the truth caused everyone's jaws to fall.

This person was not disqualified!

"Did the referee make a mistake and forget to cross out his name? It's really not right for such a person to stay."

"He definitely failed. Is he so shameless as to refuse to leave?"

However, the competition was strict. There would definitely not be such a situation where the judgment was missed. Even if there was a referee, he would quickly find the clues and chase the person out.

Someone went to the judge, but the reply he received was that he had refined the Origin Convergence Pill. It belonged to a person who had successfully advanced, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

Hearing this answer, everyone was in disbelief. It was such a person who could even get the order wrong, and he had even refined that cauldron that was only used by beginners. He had actually refined the pill!

It felt like the entire world had become a fantasy.

"I can't figure out how he did it. Did anyone see it?"

"No, I didn't pay attention to him after that."

After a round of questioning, no one was able to see the entire process of Gu Xi's refinement.

Everyone thought that he would definitely fail. After all, he did not even understand the most basic things, and they did not want to waste their attention on him.

In addition, Gu Xi was seated at the back. If one did not pay close attention, it would be easy to overlook him. As a result, no one knew how he had successfully refined it.

Everyone felt as if there were ten million ants crawling in their hearts. They scratched their ears and cheeks, extremely curious.

"Forget it, maybe it was just a fluke. This kind of luck does not come every time. Just wait and see, he will be eliminated in this round."

Although the probability was very small, it did not rule out that there were those who were lucky enough to accidentally refine a medicinal pill. Everyone believed that Gu Xi was like this. Otherwise, based on his level and skill, how could he possibly refine it?

"I announce the official start of the second round. I request that everyone refine a 7th grade medicinal pill. As long as the grade reaches a certain level, you will be able to pass."

Following the host's voice, everyone's attention was instantly drawn over. They did not have the time to care about how Gu Xi refined the Origin Convergence Pill anymore.

"The requirements are to refine as they wish. There are no strict restrictions on medicinal pills. It seems that this round isn't difficult at all."

When the alchemist who had been sifted out earlier heard this, he immediately revealed a complicated expression. "No, you're wrong. This round is even more difficult."

"How do you explain this? Could it be that there's some hidden reason?"

"Some special 7th grade pills are even easier to refine than 6th grade pills. At first glance, it seems that this match is really simple. However, the true pitfall is at the back."

Although it was difficult to refine the Origin Convergence Pill previously, the referee had specially chosen it for a reason. It was because these medicinal plants did not repel each other, and they were all the same medicinal pills. Therefore, there was no need to consider other problems during the refinement process.

However, this match allowed everyone to freely perform. Even if you chose a mild medicinal ingredient, and all things were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, it was difficult to guarantee that the aura that was leaked out during the refining process of the medicinal pill by others would have an impact.

As a result, the quality of the medicinal pill would be sucked in by these miscellaneous auras. It would cause a conflict with the original medicinal herbs and even cause mutual restraint. In the end, the quality of the pills might drop drastically. Additionally, if the cauldron exploded, it would be dangerous.

Hearing this person's explanation, everyone suddenly came to a realization. "During the pill refinement process, there will be pill auras. Since the competition is so close to each other, it will definitely affect each other. If you want to truly succeed, it will be even more difficult."

After understanding the circuitous logic behind this, only then did they realize the difficulty of the second round. It could be said to be on the level of a nightmare.

"I knew that it wouldn't be that simple."

"In a short period of time, we have to take into account all the factors and influences on the stage, and also choose the most suitable pill that which is easier to refine. Not only does it measure a person's refinement skill, it also tests his judgment and eyesight."

There was still only the time for one incense stick to burn. The questions sounded easier than the ones on the stage, but there were more things to test, starting from endurance, observation, and a few other aspects.

As expected, many of the contestants in the arena fell into deep thought as they looked at the herbs in front of them. Since they were able to reach this stage, they naturally could find the deeper meaning of the task at hand, so they did not act rashly. Instead, they buried their heads in deep thought.

"Hey, look, someone has already taken action."

Baizhi had already picked the herbs, and there was no pause during the process. She looked like she had a plan in mind, which attracted everyone's praise. "As expected of the Alchemy Emperor's disciple, she has already thought of what to refine so quickly."

In addition, there was another person who caught everyone's attention. He was wearing a black mask, but his exposed skin was a little pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time.

The mask had an unknown pattern drawn on it that covered most of his face, making him look very mysterious. 𝐧𝑜𝗏𝓮𝗅𝓊𝓈𝓫.𝚌𝑂𝓂

This person started to fill his cauldron with herbs, looking to be on par with Baizhi. His steps were strangely in sync, as if he was also strategizing.

"Who is this person? He actually seems to be on par with the Alchemy Emperor's disciple."

"He seems to be from the Medicine Sect. His name is Han Tian." There seemed to be someone who knew his identity in the arena, but his performance was extremely secretive. "This person's background isn't any less than the Alchemy Emperor's disciple."

"It's the Medicine Sect!"

It was rumored that the Medicine Sect was filled with talented people. If Alchemy Emperor Lu was the first choice that everyone wanted to acknowledge as their master, then the Medicine Sect was the sect that all the alchemists in the world wanted to enter.

The Medicine Sect not only had a rich collection of pill formulas. It was said that there were even ancient pill formulas that had already been lost. It could be said that it was a heaven for alchemists, and it even had all kinds of medicinal herbs, it even cultivated many rare and precious treasures.

Chapter 63: Tyrannical Life-Devouring Pill

However, the Medicine Sect was extremely mysterious and had always lived in seclusion. They rarely appeared in front of the world, so people don't know much about them. However, every time the Medicine Sect appeared, it was extremely extraordinary.

"It's actually someone from the Medicine Sect. No wonder it's like this."

Han Tian's refining method was quite strange. It was different from the others present. Everyone's attention was gradually attracted to him.

"Huh, he first threw himself into the Polar Hand, and then he used the Dew of the Dark Night. These two medicinal ingredients clash so fiercely that ordinary people would find it difficult to use them to refine medicine. What is he trying to refine?"

Han Tian's cauldron glowed with a dim light. On it were engraved ancient-looking patterns and symbols. It looked quite old, and it should also be an item left behind from ancient times. It looked quite extraordinary.

Han Tian's gaze was serene and calm. His every movement revealed an indescribable Dao charm, causing people to unconsciously follow him.

Everyone saw that Han Tian had thrown in quite a number of medicinal ingredients. They were the kind that complemented and countered each other. Their hearts were immediately filled with extreme doubts.

"According to his refining method, the medicinal ingredients are so aggressive. Moreover, they are all extremely overbearing items. Before other people's pill aura interferes, I'm afraid that he has already self-detonated his cauldron."

"Isn't this Han Tian a little too confident in himself? Even if he is Han Tian Senior's disciple, does he really think that he can neutralize such complicated medicinal properties?"

Everything has a certain law, and it was the same for refining medicinal pills. One needed to follow the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, conform to nature, and follow the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, medicinal pills had to be pure. Even if he succeeded in refining it, his aura would be mottled and damage the medicinal pill.

Everyone did not think highly of him. They did not know what he was planning.

"Han Tian is Han Tian Senior's disciple. It's impossible that he doesn't know these basic principles. Then what does he want to do?"

Everyone guessed for a long time, but there was still no result. At this moment, everyone was starting to take action. To be able to reach this step, he must have some ability. He already had a plan for the pill he wanted to refine.

They were all very fast. However, in terms of who was better, Baizhi and Han Tian were the two that sood out.

As the medicinal ingredients entered the cauldron, everyone was very focused. They were afraid that there would be any mistakes. The time for half an incense stick to burn had passed, but they still did not dare to relax for even a moment.

This was just the beginning. The real competition had just begun. With the faint medicinal fragrance, not only the people in the arena, but also those outside the arena were extremely focused.

"Could it be that someone is going to succeed?"

Bang!

There was another loud sound. A huge explosion resounded throughout the entire arena. Everyone was stunned on the spot. Soon after, they recovered and revealed a look of understanding. It was as if they had long expected this.

The medicinal pills that everyone had refined were in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Their pill auras intersected and easily affected the people around them.

This sound was like a signal. Soon after, many people's cauldrons exploded like fireworks and firecrackers. The crackling sound was incessant. Those who did not know better would have thought that this was the new year.

"I knew this round wouldn't be easy."

The others sighed. This had eliminated more than half of the people.

Although the medicinal pills refined by many people were extremely gentle and they tried their best to minimize the possibility of exploding their cauldrons, the medicinal pills refined by the people beside him had a few conflicting medicinal properties. Clearly, this method would not work.

They clearly saw that they were only a few steps away from success, but their efforts had fallen short. Everyone present had looks of pity on their faces.

As the green smoke was already half a column, wisps of pill aura spread out. Everyone subconsciously held their breaths, but Han Tian's cauldron suddenly emitted a clanging sound, as if it was a golden spear and an iron horse.

A powerful aura instantly suppressed the entire scene, so much so that even the people outside could feel it.

The disciple closest to him suddenly let out a wail, "My pill!"

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the green pill aura floating on his cauldron seemed to have lost all of its spiritual energy and life, and had suddenly become gray and defeated.

"What's going on?!"

The others were extremely puzzled, but they could tell that it was caused by Han Tian. This was because there was a ball of black fog lingering on his cauldron, as if it had been endowed with life. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and like a ghost, it floated on the scene.

Any cauldron that touched the black fog would lose its life essence rapidly. It could not gather any pill aura at all. If the pill aura could not be gathered, then this cauldron of pills would be considered useless.

Even if pill aura was successfully condensed, it would be completely absorbed by the black fog. It would not be able to escape the fate of dissipating. It could be said that this black fog was simply tyrannical. 𝞰𝑜𝒱𝔢𝔩𝑈𝓈𝗯.𝑐𝒪𝗆

"This black fog is also a form of pill aura. I've never seen such a strange appearance. Could it be that he refined it?!" Someone seemed to have thought of something and immediately revealed an expression of disbelief.

It was to the extent that the person beside him hurriedly urged, "What did he refine? Quickly say it!"

"The Life-devouring Pill!"

The moment his voice fell, there was a moment of silence. The Life-devouring Pill was extremely rare. One reason was that its scope of effect was too small. The second reason was that it was extremely difficult to refine.

However, this pill was overbearing. It could absorb the life essence of other pills and convert them into its own use. Hence, when condensing pill aura, it would have this kind of effect.

It could be said that once the Life-devouring Pill appeared, no pill could escape it.

Many alchemists had read many pill recipes and knew that Han Tian was refining the Life-devouring Pill. Even those who did not know could guess a thing or two from the scene in front of them.

"Damn it, he actually refined the Life-devouring Pill. Is he going to let us live or not?"

The Life-devouring Pill was extremely domineering. It could devour the pill aura in the surroundings, thus preventing the pill aura from fusing too much together, causing the cauldron to explode. At the same time, it could also eliminate other competitors. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Chapter 64: Crush the Entire Arena, Scram!

The people outside the arena could not help but sigh, "The disciples of the Medicine Sect truly live up to their reputation. They were actually able to refine the Life-devouring Pill in such a short period of time, and even suppressed the other opponents to death."

Within the arena, it could be said that wherever the black fog passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

Many alchemists used all sorts of methods to block it but to no avail. The black fog was omnipresent as if it had a life of its own. They could only watch as their medicinal pills slowly turned into dregs.

"You've gone too far! Don't tell me that the disciples of the Medicine Sect can bully others like this?"

The defeated alchemist's expression was gloomy as he glared at Han Tian. There were even some who reacted to the judge that this was unfair, but none of these were of any use.

This was because Han Tian had not personally made a move. The Life-devouring Pill that he had refined had such a characteristic. The other players who had been eliminated from the competition could only admit that they were unlucky. It was their fault for not being able to refine a pill that was more powerful than the Life-devouring Pill.

The method to crack the Life-devouring Pill was very simple. However, according to the people on the field, there were not many people who had the ability to do so.

The black fog gradually drifted to where Baizhi was, and a hazy light rose from the top of her cauldron. It was like a galaxy of stars, bright and dazzling.

The black fog was close at hand, and unlike the ones who could not fight back and could only be slaughtered, the white light instantly flourished and actually formed a two-legged cauldron. 𝒏𝒪𝒱ℯ𝑳𝑢𝗌𝓑.𝑐𝗈𝚖

In a trance, the crowd saw countless stars fall. One black and one white met in the air, like two images of yin and yang. They stood on the cauldron, but they could not do anything to the other party.

Although the white light had a gentle aura, it was able to contend with the Life-devouring Pill's pill aura and was not at a disadvantage. It was enough to show that it was powerful. It was not as simple as it seemed.

"Although I don't know what kind of pill it is, it is able to create such a wonderful scene. It must be the same category as the Life-devouring Pill."

After a moment of stalemate, the black fog did not swallow the white light. It tactfully went around and chose its next target. The others did not have the strength like Baizhi.

It was probably because Han Tian and Baizhi were so outstanding that everyone's attention was on them. No one noticed Gu Xi's movements behind them.

After one round of the black fog, almost all of them were wiped out except for Baizhi.

"It seems that the final winner will be one of these two. I just don't know who it is."

The person who said this glanced at them and suddenly seemed to have seen something. He was tongue-tied and showed a surprised expression. "What the hell? Why is it him again?"

Gu Xi's position was not eye-catching. In addition, he was in a corner, so the crowd only now saw that he was actually still on the stage. Moreover, there was a weak aura floating above the cauldron.

"He should be a fish that slipped through the net. He must have just condensed his pill aura. In addition, his aura is too faint, so the Life-devouring Pill didn't notice it, right?"

The moment his voice fell, the black fog seemed to have discovered the location of its prey and pounced over.

Gu Xi's pill aura was too weak, so the crowd could not tell what kind of pill he had refined. There was not anything special about it, and they even suspected that it was of 8th grade quality.

Without exception, it would definitely be swallowed by the black fog in an instant.

[Detected 2564 impurities in the pill. Do you want to extract it?]

Gu Xi was a little hesitant. He had casually refined a pill, and it might not be of a guaranteed grade. If he did not refine it, then he would not have the chance to compete in the finals. After thinking about it, he decided to use this opportunity.

[System is extracting...]

Who would have thought that the black fog would coincidentally pounce on him and crash into the muzzle of the gun?

"Scram."

Gu Xi's expression was indifferent. He did not even look like he wanted to defend himself. The word 'scram' was clearly heard by everyone, and they were immediately a little speechless. "Who does he think he is? He has such a big tone."

"Scram? I'm afraid that he is the one that is about to scram out of the arena."

Han Tian obviously heard this as well. A mocking smile appeared on his lips, as if he was mocking Gu Xi for overestimating himself. How could a newbie who used a practice cauldron compete with him?

However, in the next second, something unimaginable happened.

The black fog seemed to have encountered a flood or a ferocious beast. It quickly shrank back, as if it had been contaminated with some kind of incredible aura. By the time it returned to Han Tian's cauldron, more than half of it had already dissipated, leaving behind only a pitiful little ball. It circled around the cauldron, looking like it had been injured.

The life essence that it had absorbed earlier had all fallen into Gu Xi's cauldron. Countless green light dots floated around Gu Xi, and in an instant, the ordinary novice cauldron had become quite extraordinary.

The black fog had originally wanted to rob him, but instead, it had become the one who had been robbed. Their identities had suddenly changed.

???

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them. They still did not understand what had happened. All the shocking things happened in an instant. In their eyes, Gu Xi had clearly not done anything.

Han Tian's face was extremely pale. He only felt the blood in his throat churning. He had used a lot of effort to suppress it. His eyes were wide open as he looked at Gu Xi in disbelief.

Even though he was wearing a mask, he could feel the shock and astonishment in his realization. Not only him, but even the people outside the arena were also confused.

"Can someone tell me what happened just now?"

"What kind of monster is this? That kid just said 'scram'? The pill aura of the Life-devouring Pill actually didn't have any effect."

"Could it be that we were wrong before? This person has a big background. He's just here to show off?!"

If Gu Xi was lucky before, there was no chance of being lucky in this competition. With the existence of a powerful opponent like Han Tian who refined the Life-devouring Pill, there was a possibility of eliminating anyone who tried to fish in troubled waters.

It should be known that even Baizhi had to contend with the black fog for a while. Although the black fog could not swallow Baizhi's pill aura, Baizhi could not do anything to the black fog either.

Chapter 65: The Final Competition

When it came to Gu Xi, the black fog did not even come forward to fight. To be more precise, it was scared off. It was fine if it was like this, but it was still such a crushing defeat.

The life essence that had been swallowed earlier had been stolen by Gu Xi. It could only be described with one word: 'miserable'.

Looking at the small ball of black fog on Han Tian's cauldron, it was a problem whether it could condense into a proper pill aura. Baizhi, who was still refining her pill, could not help but raise her eyes to look at Gu Xi when she noticed the movement here.

"It's our fault for not recognizing true talent. It turns out that the real bigwigs use newbie cauldrons to refine pills." 𝐧𝑜𝗏𝓮𝗅𝓊𝓈𝓫.𝚌𝑂𝓂

"Is that possible? Although this cauldron looks similar to a newbie cauldron, it actually has a huge origin."

It had to be said that Gu Xi was showing off, which shocked everyone. This even started a trend, and many alchemists wanted to try using beginner cauldrons to refine pills.

Of course, the raw materials used to make cauldrons were extremely precious. However, the cauldrons were made to resemble those of beginner cauldrons, just so that they could be like Gu Xi. However, these were all things to be discussed in the future.

"No matter what, the Big Boss has helped me take revenge. Han Tian has also suffered the consequences of his own actions. He really thinks that the Life-devouring Pill is invincible in the world. He has kicked an iron plate. Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant in the future."

Those alchemists who had lost the qualification to compete because of Han Tian were overjoyed.

However, when Lu Haoxuan saw the scene in front of him, his pupils constricted slightly. His gaze fell on Gu Xi, and he did not move his eyes away for a moment.

He clearly felt that the pill Gu Xi refined was extremely ordinary. Logically speaking, it should not be able to resist the existence of the Life-devouring Pill. How could it create such a scene?

"This shouldn't be, it's too strange..."

Even though he had read a bunch of books and collected countless pill formulas, he still could not find out what kind of pill GuiXI refined.

It was not that Lu Haoxuan was boasting, but he knew of all the pill formulas that were recorded in the world. What Gu Xi refined was unheard of. Could it be some ancient recipe?

However, from the way he refined it, it did not seem like it. It felt like it was an extremely ordinary one. However, if it was ordinary, how could it make the overbearing Life-devouring Pill back off?

"This person is a little strange."

Gu Xi did not know that Lu Haoxuan had already set his eyes on him. Even if he knew, he probably would not take it to heart.

At this moment, only Gu Xi, Baizhi, and Han Tian were left on the field. Although Han Tian's pill aura had not dissipated, his weak appearance made it seem as if the flickering flame would soon be extinguished.

"I don't know if Han Tian can turn the tide. who asked him to be so arrogant earlier?"

Many of the competitors who had lost their qualifications to compete because of the Life-devouring Pill were mocking Han Tian, thinking that he had brought this upon himself.

There were also some people who admired Han Tian's method. After all, this was a competition where the strong preyed on the weak. It had been an eternal principle since ancient times.

However, no one had ever thought highly of Gu Xi, who had been hailed as a hidden boss. He charged out of the encirclement like a dark horse. This was out of everyone's expectations.

It was to the extent that even the people of the Supreme Purity Sect wished they could stand up straight. If it were not for Wu Huaqing's repeated warnings, some disciples would have already started to spread the news.

When the time for one incense stick to burn was up, it would also mean the end of the competition.

The referee looked at the three of them. His gaze stayed on Gu Xi the longest because he did not know what kind of pill Gu Xi had refined. However, the aura that this pill emitted was undoubtedly of the 8th grade.

Fortunately, Lu Haoxuan had a foresight to warn him before he slowly announced, "The final winners are Gu Xi and Baizhi."

It was a pity that Han Tian did not refine the 8th grade pill. Although his pill aura was barely condensed, after suffering that blow, he had given Gu Xi all the life essence that he had devoured from the others.

In the end, the pill aura had finally taken shape, but it was like loose sand. The pill could not reach the 8th grade at all.

Han Tian's face was ashen. His cold gaze landed on Gu Xi. He walked over and said, "My skills are inferior to yours. Naturally, I have nothing to say. However, I am not resigned."

After he left these words, he turned around and left. Everyone wondered what he meant. Of course, this was only a small prelude, and it did not affect anything.

Very quickly, the referee announced the start of the third match. Lu Haoxuan, who had been sitting behind the scenes, finally stood up.

"I'm very happy that you guys have been able to make it this far. I will personally host the last match. The rules of the competition are very simple. There are no restrictions on the quality of medicinal pills. Whoever refines the purest medicinal pill will be the winner."

There was a moment of silence in the arena. It sounded very simple, but when one thought about it carefully, it was not so.

Regardless of whether it was a high-grade medicinal pill or a low-grade medicinal pill, there would be impurities no matter what. That was because of the cauldron, the environment, the medicinal ingredients, the temperature, and many other factors.

The higher the purity of the pill, the greater the requirement for the skill of the pill refiner. However, all the alchemists in the world spent their entire lives in pursuit of the supreme pill.

The so-called 'Flawless' pill was only seen in ancient records. No one in the world had ever been able to refine it, even the Alchemy Emperor was no exception. Therefore, the pill that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had taken out earlier could be said to be unprecedented. It was the only one in the world, which was why it had caused such a huge sensation.

An ordinary person could be considered extremely outstanding if they could approach 80% purity. Even Lu Haoxuan and some others could only approach 90% purity.

"As expected of a test that the Alchemy Emperor could think of. It's getting more and more tricky."

"The first test is the alchemist's temperament and knowledge. The second test is the ability to operate and control. The third test is the purification of the pill. It can be said that each test is more difficult than the last."

"I don't know who is better this time."

Chapter 66: The Birth of the Mother and Child Cauldrons

Whether it was Lu Haoxuan's disciple or this dark horse who had suddenly appeared, everyone had great expectations for these two people. After all, their strength was obvious to everyone.

Especially Gu Xi, when he said 'scram', it was very impressive. Of course, Baizhi had always been at ease. It could be seen that she had not used her full strength in the first two rounds.

Everyone became more and more expectant of the final battle.

Baizhi looked at the man in front of her and did not dare to underestimate her opponent. As Lu Haoxuan's disciple, she was well-read and could be said to know all the pill formulas in the world. She even knew many of the lost pill formulas.

However, she had not seen through the pill that Gu XI had just refined. If Baizhi had known that even Lu Haoxuan had not seen through it, she would have been even more surprised. 𝒏𝗈𝑽𝐞𝒍𝓊𝑠𝒷.𝑐𝑶𝓂

She took the initiative to take action. This time, she did not hide anymore. Instead, she took out another cauldron. Seeing Baizhi's actions, everyone present was puzzled. If she suddenly changed the cauldron at this time, it would inevitably affect her performance.

"Why did she suddenly change the cauldron again?"

This cauldron looked quite old. Green copper rust covered the entire cauldron. Its entire body was filled with an inexplicable ancient aura. The entire body of the cauldron was very simple and there were no unnecessary decorations.

However, there were unintelligible words and symbols carved around it. Moreover, they were quite blurry, and it was difficult to guess their origin. However, one thing was certain, this cauldron was definitely extraordinary.

The moment it appeared, the green aura of life and light spots all floated above the cauldron, forming a strange scene. It was already so grand even before the refinement had begun.

Although the cauldron that Baizhi used earlier was very powerful and rare, it was still a little lacking compared to the one before her.

Baizhi Xin moved as she pleased. Skyheart Silver Orchid Grass, Thousand-year-old Snow Silkworm, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, White Dew Leaf Frost, and many other rare treasures entered the cauldron one after another. Her every move was filled with a faintly discernible Dao rhythm, and it worked seamlessly with this cauldron.

"Could it be that the cauldron she used earlier was not what she normally used and this cauldron was her true Magical Artifact?"

Everyone was puzzled and could not understand why Baizhi would do this, but they soon had an answer.

In just a moment, the rich medicinal fragrance seemed to be able to solidify and float around in the arena. Smelling it made people feel refreshed. The faint sound of a young phoenix's clear cry in the sky soothed their hearts. Seven-colored clouds came from the east, at the same time, the Purple Qi was vast and mighty.

Such a scene was simply too much for people to take in. They were all amazed.

Everyone present was shocked. "The pill is about to be formed so soon?"

As everyone knew, only when an extremely powerful pill was formed would such a situation occur.

However, this statement was quickly denied by others. They guessed, "How can it be so fast? How long has it been? It should only be a phenomenon caused by this cauldron refining pills."

Moreover, the abundant spiritual energy brought by these strange phenomena was all gathered and then fed back into the cauldron, making this small world an unprecedented Fengshui treasure land.

The others could not help but gasp. They had never heard of such a cauldron before, and they had never seen such ascene.

"I heard that there was an ancient divine cauldron that was born with spirituality. Not only could it provide spiritual energy for pill refining and isolating external disturbances, but it could also purify some impurities. It's perfect at the final stage of pill formation. Could it be that the cauldron in front of her..."

Although she did not finish her sentence, everyone had already guessed that the cauldron in Baizhi's hand probably came from ancient times. Even if it was not, it was still related.

"No wonder she didn't take it out earlier."

Only then did everyone realize that the cauldron that Baizhi used had too much of a bonus and could even affect the fairness of the competition. Although there were no rules against this, she did not want to do so. Thus, she chose to take it out only for the final competition.

"As expected of the Alchemy Emperor's disciple. This kind of temperament and quality is really something that ordinary people can not possess."

The others were filled with emotion.

When their gazes fell on Gu Xi, they realized that he had also changed to a Venerable Cauldron. However, it was understandable. Since they were at the final moment of the competition, they naturally each displayed their own abilities and took out their own items to see what they had.

Otherwise, the quality of the pills would still be affected in the end, no matter how good the alchemy skills they had.

However, when everyone saw the cauldron in Gu Xi's hand, they were all stunned.

It was a pitch-black cauldron with rust stains on it. One could hardly see its original appearance, which made one think of the black pot on the stove.

If it was not for the cauldron's basic shape, other places would really be no different from a pot.

It was this cauldron that made Baizhi and Lu Haoxuan's expressions change drastically. Even Lu Haoxuan lost his composure and stood up from his chair. The referee next to him immediately asked what had happened in surprise.

Lu Haoxuan shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

The others did not understand the origin of this cauldron, but Lu Haoxuan and Baizhi knew it clearly.

"How could it be... didn't I already make a deal with that mysterious person? How could it appear in this person's hands?"

Baizhi muttered to herself. She could not believe it. Perhaps the appearance could be a coincidence, but at this moment, the Child Cauldron in her hands actually had an impulse to not listen to her.

As a result, the spiritual energy around her trembled and actually showed signs of slowly dispersing. She hurriedly steadied her mind, but she still could not calm down. The Mother Cauldron's influence on the Child Cauldron was too great.

When they first obtained the Child and Mother Cauldrons, they discovered that although these two cauldrons came from the same source, they were worlds apart.

The Child Cauldron was gentle and was very beneficial to refining medicinal pills. Moreover, it could extract the impurities in the medicinal pills. Not only that, but it could also be purified. It could be said that it was a once in a hundred years opportunity.

Chapter 67: Ancient Pill-Making Method? Refining Pills With Bare Hands!

Translation

The Mother Cauldron, on the other hand, was extremely violent. Anyone who touched it would be in danger. If one did not have any special methods, they would easily fall for it. Even Lu Haoxuan and Baizhi would have fallen for it, but now...

Baizhi's gaze fell on Gu Xi's hand. The cauldron was very calm and looked no different from an ordinary cauldron. It did not look like its usual berserk self.

She could not help but have doubts in her heart. Was this really the same cauldron?

Only those who had come into contact with the Mother Cauldron knew how terrifying this cauldron was. This was also the reason why Lu Haoxuan and Baizhi, who knew that it was of great value and could suppress the Son Cauldron, still chose to take it out and exchange for it.

"Where did you get this cauldron?" Lu Haoxuan asked. He seemed to be very interested in Gu Xi's cauldron, which attracted many people's attention.

"This cauldron looks very ordinary. Why would Alchemy Emperor Lu look at it differently?"

The crowd discussed in hushed tones. No matter how much they looked at it, they could not find anything special about it.

The cauldron had been sealed by the system. With Gu Xi's extraction and suppression, it was no longer as dangerous as before. Thus, these people could not see anything unusual.

"This is a gift from my Master."

Gu Xi took out the excuse that he had prepared long ago. In any case, anything could be pushed to that Master who did not exist. Even if Lu Haoxuan could see that he was someone from the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce that day, what could he do?

Lu Haoxuan could not help but fall into silence. From his previous actions, he dared to conclude that there must be an extraordinary force behind Gu Xi. Otherwise, with his ability, it was impossible that he was unable to find the person who had created the Flawless quality pill.

The person behind the scenes must have hidden it very deeply. Even he could not easily offend such a force.

No one knew how complicated Lu Haoxuan's emotions were at the moment. He had never thought that at the Dao Conference in the Capital, first there would be a Flawless quality pill, and then even people from the Demon Region would come to join in the fun.

Now that he knew about the existence of such a colossus, he did not know whether this news was good or bad for the Capital. He had a faint premonition that this young man in front of him was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

"I'm afraid that Baizhi is going to lose."

Lu Haoxuan suddenly opened his mouth. The referee beside him could not help but be shocked when he heard this. Gu Xi had the strength, and he was indeed a dark horse that had made it to the finals.

However, before the two of them could refine their pills, Lu Haoxuan had already said these words. He asked in puzzlement, "Miss Baizhi is so young, yet she has already reached the level of an extraordinary sage. Although that kid is mysterious and has some abilities, it won't be easy for him to win."

Lu Haoxuan shook his head and could not help but sigh. "Although this Child Cauldron is powerful, the Mother Cauldron has its suppressive effect."

As expected, on the field, Baizhi frowned and her movements suddenly stopped. The Child Cauldron in her hand kept buzzing and was not under her control at all. It seemed like it was about to leave her palm. 𝑛𝔬𝗏𝓮𝑙𝗎𝒮𝗯.𝚌𝑜𝚖

If it were not for the fact that Baizhi had spent all her efforts to barely suppress it, the Child Cauldron's condition at the moment was not suitable for refining pills. The white light flickered and appeared extremely unstable.

When the others saw this, they were also discussing it animatedly.

"What's wrong with Miss Bai? Why did she suddenly stop?"

"Look, it seems like there's something wrong with the cauldron in her hand. Wasn't it fine before? How did it become like this after the appearance of that other cauldron?"

The people on the field still did not know that these were the Child and Mother Cauldrons because there was nothing similar about their bodies. One was exquisite and resplendent, flowing with light and overflowing with color, looking full of divinity. The other one was gray and ordinary. No one could connect the two together.

"You have the Mother Cauldron in your hand. You're naturally able to suppress the Child Cauldron. I'm simply unable to display my full strength."

The crowd only came to a sudden realization after hearing this. So there was actually such a twist in the story.

"Those are the Mother and Child Cauldrons! It doesn't look like it at all. But how did the Mother Cauldron end up in this kid's hand, while Miss Bai has the Child Cauldron in her hand?"

"No wonder Alchemy Emperor Lu suddenly asked about it earlier. He must have figured it out."

Gu Xi was not stupid, so she naturally knew what Baizhi was implying. Even if he won, it would be an unfair victory. Seeing Baizhi's unconvinced look, he curved his lips.

"If that's the case –"

He waved his hand and actually summoned the cauldron back.

This action was beyond everyone's expectations. "What is he going to do? Change another cauldron at the last minute?"

"It seems like it's too late now. The incense has already been burned by more than half."

Everyone was confused. Even Baizhi was stunned on the spot.

"Then I'll make you completely convinced."

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Xi waved his hands. Countless precious medicinal herbs seemed to have been summoned by something and fell into his palms.

A dense spiritual light appeared as if it was a burning flame. Green essence burst out and was constantly extracted, as if it was reborn.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, not knowing what Gu Xi was going to do.

Only Lu Haoxuan's breathing was rapid. He stood up from his chair again, even more so than before. "He's going to –"

"He, he's not going to refine pills with his bare hands, is he?!"

Someone shouted in surprise, and everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Refining pills with bare hands? How can there be such a method? How can it be done without a pill furnace? You must be joking, right?"

Chapter 68: Alchemy Emperor: I Understand Now

During ancient times, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the sky was used as a furnace to forge medicinal pills. The human body was like a medium, and there was an extremely special alchemy method that did not need to rely on external things to refine pills.

Even so, that person was still an extraordinary talent, and his strength was only higher than those of the Ancient Emperors. This was because cultivators needed to be able to communicate with all things in the world, and they had extremely high requirements for cultivation and comprehension.

Therefore, very few people were able to succeed, let alone now. As the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, it was no longer the same as it was in the past. This method of pill refinement was only recorded in ancient books and legends. The number of people who knew about it could be counted on one's fingers.

However, they never thought that they would actually see it here today!

Hearing someone explain in detail, everyone was once again shocked. It could be said that it was an eye-opener.

"I had always thought that refining pills with bare hands was nothing more than an invention or conjecture of the predecessors. How could it be possible to successfully refine a pill without a pill furnace?"

A powerful alchemist muttered to himself on the spot. His expression was extremely complicated.

"According to the records, this method is extremely difficult. Can he succeed at such a young age? He's not trying to fool everyone, right?"

The others subconsciously held their breaths and stared at Gu Xi without blinking, afraid that they would miss out on some wonderful scene.

Gu Xi waved his hands. It seemed to be a simple movement, but it carried a faint Dao rhythm. Black and white gas slowly rose from the left and right sides, as if yin and yang were entrenched in the air, forming a huge tai chi eight trigrams pattern.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the scene. They saw countless divine lights shining brightly, forming all sorts of strange phenomena that filled the surroundings. Gu Xi was expressionless, appearing even more unfathomable.

As Lu Haoxuan focused his attention on the scene, he was a little confused. "Strange..."

"His pill refining method is indeed powerful. He can feel the medicinal essence within, but why isn't there any life aura coming from him?"

Logically speaking, at this point, the pill was constantly being extracted and purified, so one should be able to feel the rich life essence. However, there was not the slightest bit of it when it came to Gu Xi. It gave people the feeling that it was just an empty shell.

As expected of an Alchemy Emperor, Lu Haoxuan quickly discovered the problem with Gu Xi.

After all, Gu Xi was a halfway house monk, and it was all thanks to the System. If he were to seriously refine pills, how would he be able to do it? However, it would not be a problem for him to play a few tricks to fool people, but over time, he would definitely be discovered by others.

The people present were not fools. They were all quite skilled in pill refinement. They could deceive for a while, but they would not be able to deceive for the rest of their lives.

"I think it's a little strange. Although I've never seen what it's like to refine pills with your bare hands, there are almost no people in this world who can do it. Even Alchemy Emperor Lu is the same, let alone this kid. Could it be that he's even more powerful than Alchemy Emperor Lu?"

"Something is not right. Alchemy can not be refined out of the furnace. Could it be that this kid has stolen some secret technique?"

Strange voices gradually sounded, and they were not optimistic about Gu Xi. They all thought that Gu Xi was deliberately mystifying the entire matter. After all, bare-handed alchemy has only been a legend, or only recorded in the classics.

[45,648 impurities detected in the nameless pill. Do you wish to extract them?]

The system notification suddenly sounded in his mind. Gu Xi had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes!"

He had spent some time creating a drama, and there was no benefit for him to continue.

Just as the voices of criticism became louder and louder, the faint smell of medicinal herbs wafted out.

The originally clear sky suddenly became extremely dark. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, and everyone looked over when they heard the sound. 𝑛𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓵𝔲𝗌𝗯.𝑐𝒐𝓂

In the middle of Gu Xi's palm, a white medicinal pill slowly revealed its figure. It was extremely round, as if it did not have any impurities. Light golden patterns encircled it one after another, as if it was filled with the supreme mystery of the Dao of alchemy.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, lingering above Gu Xi's head. Within the thick layer of clouds, the faint figure of a golden dragon could be seen shuttling back and forth. It was almost identical to the patterns on the medicinal pill. It was as if the Buddha was the external incarnation of the medicinal pill.

The medicinal fragrance assailed everyone's nostrils, causing their spirits to tremble.

"This, this is..."

Everyone was so excited that they could not speak. Lu Haoxuan could not maintain his composure from before and suddenly walked out from within. "Flawless medicinal pill!"

They had actually witnessed the birth of a Flawless pill with their own eyes! This was an extremely shocking and exciting event for all alchemists.

Even if they were to die now, they would probably die with no regrets. That kind of feeling could not be described with words.

"I actually saw how the Flawless pill was refined with my own eyes..."

However, after the excitement, everyone's emotions were extremely complicated.

Refining pills with their bare hands, they probably would not be able to reach such a realm in their entire lives.

Compared to the others, Lu Haoxuan's feelings were even deeper. Huge waves surged in his heart, and the image of Gu Xi waving his hand continuously appeared in his mind. It was as if it was effortless, and the Flawless pill was created.

What kind of ability and talent was this? It was enough to crush everyone at the scene under his feet. It was as if they could only look up at his back, and they would not even have the courage to chase after him.

It was this kind of hand that easily crushed his faith. Such a scene was engraved in Lu Haoxuan's mind, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

"I used to think that in order to refine a Flawless pill, whether it was the pill furnace or the medicinal ingredients, as well as the environment and temperature, there were strict requirements. But now it seems that..."

Lu Haoxuan suddenly laughed out loud. His appearance was extremely deranged. Even the people around him were a little afraid when they saw him. They cautiously asked, "Alchemy Emperor Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"So it's because I'm too rigid about external things, but I've neglected my inner cultivation. Refining the pill is not the same as refining the heart!"

Lu Haoxuan threw his head back and let out a long howl. His hair was scattered in all directions, and even his crown had been shattered. He personally stepped down from the stage and bowed deeply to Gu Xi. His voice was like a loud bell as he said, "I understand now!"

Chapter 69: The Number One Alchemist, the Shock of the Supreme Purity Sect

When everyone saw this scene, they were completely dumbfounded.

Understood? Understood what?

Everyone seemed to feel that the world had become mysterious. Or was it that they had not woken up at all, resulting in an illusion.

As the judge, the Alchemy Emperor, Lu Haoxuan, actually personally stepped down from the stage and bowed to the contestants with a respectful attitude. Those who did not know would have thought that the Alchemy Emperor of the ancient times had personally come to the scene.

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?

Everyone was shocked, and they could not recover. One had to know that Gu Xi was only around 20 years old. What right did he have to make the famous Alchemy Emperor bow down to him like this?

Lu Haoxuan had become famous at a young age and already had the title of Alchemy Emperor. It had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone. It was almost the goal and dream of all the alchemists in the world. However, now, this scene was simply extraordinary...

Did this mean that Gu Xi's future achievements were even higher than that of the Alchemy Emperor?!

Even though Gu Xi had refined a Flawless quality pill in public, the alchemists still felt extremely complicated when faced with the Alchemy Emperor's attitude.

However, the more shocking thing was still to come. When Lu Haoxuan saw that Gu Xi did not speak, he thought that Gu Xi felt that he was not sincere enough. He sincerely said again, "Young friend, please accept this old man's bow."

There were even some fanatical followers of Lu Haoxuan who could not endure this kind of scene and fainted. The scene immediately fell into chaos, so much so that no one paid attention to when the Alchemy Emperor and Gu Xi left the arena.

Speaking of the final scene of the alchemy competition, it would presumably become an unforgettable memory for everyone. In a short moment, the news spread through the streets and alleys of the Capital like wildfire.

"Hey, have you heard? A dark horse suddenly broke out of the encirclement of the alchemy competition. Even Alchemy Emperor Lu's disciple was defeated!"

"Spread the word. Someone went crazy in the alchemy competition. Even Alchemy Emperor Lu wasn't his match. He could only admit defeat."

"What?! Isn't it an alchemy competition? Why does it sound like a martial arts competition?"

"Shocking! Alchemy Emperor Lu actually knelt down in front of the contestants. This person was suspected to be the reincarnation of the Ancient Alchemy Emperor. He was the founder that all alchemists had to worship. Countless alchemists were fanatical and excited. There were even some who fainted on the spot."

Although the rumors were somewhat ridiculous in the end, there were still quite a number of people who knew of Gu Xi's existence. They also knew of his wonderful performance on the stage. They kept inquiring about Gu Xi's background and identity.

Fortunately, Wu Huaqing and the others had good eyesight at that time. Seeing that the situation was not good, they quickly fled with the other disciples. Otherwise, it would be a problem whether they could walk out of the competition venue or not.

Soon, Wu Huaqing also sent this message back to the Supreme Purity Sect. After receiving the message, the Sect Master and the others froze on the spot. "How could this be –"

When the others saw the Sect Master's incredulous expression, they thought that it was bad news from the Capital. They could not help but ask, "Sect master, could it be that we don't even have a single person who advanced in the competition? Were we eliminated in the preliminary round?"

The Sect Master shook his head. The others could not help but feel dejected. It seemed that the situation was even worse. It was likely that they had all been wiped out. Otherwise, the Sect Master would not have shown such an expression. Everyone was somewhat dejected, but then they pulled themselves together and comforted him.

"Sect Master, it doesn't matter. The first competition is on the Dao of alchemy. We weren't particularly good at it, to begin with. In addition, we didn't have any outstanding disciples. In the second competition on the Dao of the sword, with Gu Xi and the others holding down the fort, it's likely that we'll be able to obtain even better results."

The Sect Master muttered, "Who said that Gu Xi's swordsmanship is the most outstanding..."

Everyone's expressions were somewhat puzzled. Everyone knew that Gu Xi had killed a high-level demonic beast with a single sword strike back then, and thus obtained the Sect Master's favor. The Second Elder said, "He naturally has outstanding swordsmanship."

The Sect Master would suddenly burst out laughing, losing his usual calmness. "Wrong, we were all wrong!"

Seeing his excited appearance, the other elders thought that the result of the competition was too bad and had received quite a bit of stimulation.

"Even if the Sect Master loses the competition, it doesn't matter. When the elites of the capital gather, we are truly–"

Before he could finish speaking, the Sect Master glared at him as if he was looking at a fool. "Who said we lost? Gu Xi placed first in the Dao of alchemy and successfully advanced to the finals. In the end, even the Alchemy Emperor bowed to him."

This time, it was everyone's turn to look at him as if they were looking at a fool. They looked at each other as if they were listening to a fairy tale. They were even more certain that the sect leader had suffered a great shock.

"Sect Master, are you alright?" they asked carefully, afraid that they would touch the Sect Master's minefield again. "Why don't you rest first. You can leave the rest to us, we will take care of everything."

The Sect Master rolled his eyes. "Take a look for yourself."

After the elders read the contents of the message, they all revealed incredulous expressions. They stuttered, "Elder Wu, you can't be joking. You're making fun of us, right? Number one in the Dao of alchemy? How is this possible?"

"Isn't Gu Xi's sword cultivation outstanding? When did he become so skilled in alchemy? We actually never knew about it."

"Good kid. He actually hid it so well. If it wasn't for the Great Dao Conference Competition in the Capital, we wouldn't even know about it."

However, no matter how unbelievable it was or how bizarre the facts were, Wu Huaqing would never joke about such a matter. The information he sent back should not be wrong at all.

Recalling the various suspicious aspects of Gu Xi, everyone revealed pensive expressions. The Sect Master naturally knew that Gu Xi had many secrets, but he did not expect him to bring such a big surprise.

No matter what, Gu Xi was a member of their Supreme Purity Sect. This was also a matter to glorify their ancestors.

There was no need to mention the Gu Clan. They were so happy that they were about to go crazy. The Clan Master of the Gu Clan announced on the spot that he would hold a banquet for three days and three nights in a row. He wished that the whole world would know about this.

Chapter 70: The Mysterious Sword Mountain, Green Lotus Princess

Very soon, the second match of the Dao Conference in the Capital also began. It was a competition on the Dao of artifact refinement. As the name implied, it was about forging weapons and refining Magic Treasures.

This time, the competition was extremely special. Unlike the pill refinement previously, this competition was held at the Sword Mountain on the western outskirts of the Capital.

A hundred years ago, when this continent was first created, chaos was about to erupt. The various sects and powers fought endlessly for territory and resources. Countless people were injured, and some even died. It could be said that the ground was scorched and the corpses piled up into mountains.

After that, a person appeared. He was independent of all time and things, and he used a strong stance to suppress all the heroes. He was called the Emperor and was unparalleled in the world. Countless people worshipped him as a god and even worshipped him with the Longevity Token.

From then on, the world was at peace and thousands of sects converged.

The Emperor also gathered all the divine weapons in the world. The peerless experts all placed their weapons on the Sword Mountain. This represented the end of the war, and it also symbolized the unification of power.

As a result, the later generations were sheltered, and the dynasty was established. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As time passed, the chaos rose again, and the power of the Imperial Court declined. This place gradually became a smelting ground.

Thousands of years had passed, and the old divine weapons on the Sword Mountain all had souls. Thinking back to the past, their owners were all outstanding figures. Even now, any one of them could cause a stir in the world.

Back then, when they were at their peak, they were sealed. Even after so many years, even if their strength decreased, the divinity within could not be erased. 𝗇𝑶𝑣𝚎𝓵𝓤𝓈𝗯.𝚌𝗈𝓶

...

Soon, everyone arrived at the foot of the Sword Mountain.

Looking at the vast mountains in front of them, the mountains were verdant, and the trees were flourishing. It was as if they were embedded in jade. If one ignored the special area here, it would be a place with good scenery.

However, the seemingly peaceful appearance hid an undetectable danger. It was like the surface of an endless sea. No one knew how many undercurrents were surging in the deep seawater.

A light wind blew gently, carrying sword intent. It was as if even the air was made of Sword Qi. It was filled with an incomparably sharp feeling, as if one would be cut if they were careless for even a moment.

Not far away, there were a few unending mountain peaks. From afar, they looked like giant swords standing on the ground. A flying sword from outer space slashed down across the sky. Countless deep ravines were like powerful sword scars.

The steep mountain peaks were like extremely sharp sword blades. It was shocking to look at. Anyone with sensitive senses could sense that something was wrong.

"As expected of the Sword Mountain. Just this magnificent scenery is unique, something that other places don't have."

"If a new divine weapon is forged, the weapons of this Sword Mountain will each emit a buzzing sound, which means that they acknowledge the divine weapon. The louder the sound, the higher the strength of the blacksmith, the stronger the weapon forged."

"Rumor has it that in the early days of the founding of the nation, Ou Yezi, the strongest blacksmith in history, once forged the Nine Great Divine Swords. As soon as the origin of the sword was forged, hundreds of swords resonated in unison. It was a magnificent sight."

However, these were all records in ancient books. No one knew whether they were true or false. However, it could not be denied that the Sword Mountain had extremely powerful spirituality.

"I didn't expect that this place would be chosen as the venue for the competition. It seems that another good show is about to begin."

"I wonder if this competition will be as exciting as the alchemy competition last time. I'm looking forward to it."

Just as everyone was discussing, the Luan Birds chirped and several rays of multicolored light drifted over from the sky. The azure and clear sky immediately became filled with multicolored light and a strange fragrance assailed everyone's nostrils. Countless flower petals fell from the sky. There were all sorts of breathtaking scenes.

Everyone could not help but draw in a breath of cold air.

Amidst the rain of flowers, the multicolored Luan Birds flew over on a carriage. The carriage was extremely gorgeous, with top-grade Blood Jade and corals as decorations. Eastern Sea Pearls were strung into a pearl curtain, and all sorts of rare treasures and rare items were like little toys that could be seen everywhere, they were all decorated on the carriage.

However, any one of them was an existence that everyone would fight over.

These were all secondary. Who didn't know that the five-colored Luan Bird was a high-level demonic beast? It even had the bloodline of the Divine Blue Luan. Just by looking at the powerful aura they emitted, one would be able to tell a thing or two. But now, they were being used to pull the carriage, and there were four of them.

One could not help but sigh. who exactly had such a huge amount of wealth and power?

The carriage was getting closer and closer. However, the white gauze was floating, and one could vaguely see their graceful posture. It made one's imagination run wild. At the same time, a cold female voice sounded, like a clear spring flowing through a mountain stream.

"The rules of the second match are that at the foot of Sword Mountain, one must refine their own weapon. Whoever's weapon receives the most recognition from Sword Mountain, the one with the loudest buzz... That would be the final winner. That person will be awarded by this Palace."

Although one could not see her face clearly, one could guess who she was. She was to be able to use a five-colored Luan to pull her carriage, to be able to be a judge for the Dao Conference Competition, and to use the royal language. It was likely to be that person.

The most respected princess of the Capital, who was titled 'Green Lotus'.

"This time, the one acting as the judge will actually be the respected Green Lotus Princess!"

"It is rumored that when this Green Lotus Princess was born, all the lotuses in the city bloomed, and she was born with a budding green lotus in her hand. There was the sound of the Great Dao in the sky, and the crane brought countless lotuses. It can be said that her divinity has reached its peak."

The Green Lotus Princess was the most respected person in the Capital. Needless to say, many people doted on her.

She was born with a strange phenomenon. After that, her talent was even more outstanding, and she displayed exceptional strength. When she was a child, she was already at the peak of Spirit Condensation. She could be said to be a favored child of the Heavens, leaving all her peers far behind.

If one thought about it, to have such cultivation at such a young age, one's prospects would be limitless. There were even experts skilled in divination who had once given prophecies about the princess, asserting that she had the potential of ascending to Immortality in the future.

Chapter 71: Descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi

The Green Lotus Princess had always lived in seclusion, but there were many rumors about her that attracted the hearts of many people. However, such a person with such a noble identity was not someone they could easily meet.

"This trip to the Capital Dao Conference is indeed not in vain. First, there was Alchemy Emperor Lu Haoxuan, and now there's Green Lotus Princess."

It had to be said that the lineup of judges for this year's Dao Conference was truly powerful. Although in the past, there would be a few big shots holding down the fort. However, for a peak expert like this, or for Green Lotus Princess to appear at the same time, it was a situation that had never happened before.

"I remember that in her early years, Green Lotus Princess's cultivation had already stood at the peak of her peers. Now, her strength is even more unfathomable."

"Green Lotus Princess's looks are devastatingly beautiful. With such cultivation, I wonder who will be able to match up to her in the future."

Green Lotus Princess's appearance caused quite a stir in the crowd. Everyone always yearned for beautiful things. However, due to Green Lotus Princess's powerful status and noble status, they did not dare to act rashly.

The others more or less glanced at her from the corner of their eyes. Only Gu Xi heard their discussion and looked over boldly.

The palanquin was gorgeous. The beaded curtains were green, and the white gauze covered the window. Green Lotus Princess was sitting in it, and one could barely make out her outline. However, even with this posture, it was enough to make one's imagination run wild, How bad would it be to unveil the white gauze?

It was as if Gu XI's gaze was too direct. Green Lotus Princess sensed it and she slowly gazed downward. It was as cold as the first snowfall. She was like a fairy who sat high in the clouds and could only be seen from afar but not touched. It made it impossible for anyone to feel any sense of offense.

Their gazes met in mid-air and then separated as soon as they made contact. Gu Xi touched his nose and suddenly felt a little curious about Green Lotus Princess's true appearance.

"I wonder if the winner can make a request and see Green Lotus Princess's true appearance."

When a bystander heard Gu Xi mumbling to himself, he could not help but laugh at his nonsense. "What kind of person is Green Lotus Princess? She is not someone that you can meet just because you want to."

However, when he saw Gu Xi's appearance clearly, it was as if something was strangling his throat and he could not speak anymore.

"It's, it's you..." he stammered. One had to know that even the Alchemy Emperor had to bow to the person in front of him. If he offended Gu Xi, he would probably die.

However, Gu Xi did not take it to heart.

There were quite a number of people present who saw Gu Xi. However, this competition was about refining weapons, so there were very few alchemy cultivators. Even if Gu Xi was quite talented in alchemy and could even crush the Alchemy Emperor, it did not mean that he was good at refining weapons.

Therefore, his influence was not as great as it was when he was refining pills. Although everyone sighed in their hearts at Gu Xi's talent in pill refining, it was clear that he did not have any advantage in this kind of home ground.

"Although pill refining and weapon refining sound like there's only a one-word difference, the distance between them is immense. Just because you can refine pills well doesn't mean that you can refine weapons well. People shouldn't have the wrong idea, or they would just embarrass themselves."

It was clear that this sentence was directed at Gu Xi.

The two were somewhat similar, but there was a huge difference. It was extremely rare for a participant like Gu Xi to appear, who participated in both pill refinement and weapon refinement competitions.

After all, whether it was pill refinement or weapon refinement, they were both broad and profound. They had a long history and required a lot of time and effort to study. If you did not understand one, then you still wanted to understand the other, it was inevitable that people would criticize him for being too greedy.

There were once people who cultivated both paths, but they were all Ancient Emperors, and they were all outstanding figures. Until now, there were almost no such people, and even if there were, they were not proficient in either one.

However, this problem did not exist for Gu Xi because he had the System in his hands. He did not know how to refine weapons, but he could use the system to extract them.

Gu Xi turned a deaf ear to these sarcastic remarks. Seeing that he did not have any reaction, the others felt bored and turned their attention to the other contestants.

There were many people standing in the arena, but the most eye-catching one was a bare-chested brawny man. His upper body was naked, and bright red lines that looked like flames spread from his arms, they took up most of the area.

The lines seemed to have a life of their own, describing the traces of flames. They continued to pulsate along with the rise and fall of his chest. In addition to the dazzling colors, they gave people a feeling that they were about to come alive at any moment.

"Could this be some kind of special totem? It looks like a flame, so strange."

His companion beside him had a serious expression, and he could tell the origin of this pattern at a glance.

"You are only half right, it is indeed a flame or a Heavenly Flame. Only those who absorb the Heavenly Flame in their body will show it. Moreover, the stronger the Heavenly Flame, the larger the area it will occupy."

"Looking at the shape of this flame, it is very likely to be a Heavenly Flame that is ranked in the top ten."

Many people were well-informed and guessed the identity of this person.

"I wonder where this person came from. To be able to absorb such a powerful Heavenly Flame and not even explode to death, it seems that his strength can not be underestimated."

As everyone knew, it was very difficult for a Heavenly Flame to fuse with a person's body. After all, its power was violent and was not controlled by anyone. If it was a mild flame, it would be fine. However, none of the flames in the top ten of the Heavenly Flame were easy to deal with.

Not to mention that they were extremely mysterious and difficult to capture. Even if they were to be absorbed into the body, they would have to take a huge risk. At worst, they would be severely injured and disfigured. At worst, their foundation would be destroyed and they might even be turned into ashes. From this, one could see how powerful they were. 𝐧𝑂𝐯𝗲𝐿𝐔𝓢𝗯.𝕔𝒪𝓜

Even if they were lucky enough to absorb it, if the host's cultivation was too low, they might even be devoured by the Heavenly Flame in the future.

Even with such a huge risk, there were still many people who were willing to be infected by the Heavenly Flame. There was no other reason. They could obtain the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth during the forging of artifacts or weapons. They could also borrow the pressure of the Heavenly Flame to improve the quality of the forging. As the saying went, risk and opportunity coexisted.

"I heard that he is the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi. He is the most outstanding talent in this generation, and his name is Ou Yechen."

"No wonder, so he has a strong family background. I heard that the Heavenly Flame in his body is the Nine Yang Heaven-splitting Divine Flame, and it is very powerful. The other Heavenly Flames have to retreat when they encounter it."

"Not only that, there is also the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace passed down from his ancestors. It was passed down from Ou Yezi's hands, and it is an existence comparable to a divine weapon."

"Even if they don't rely on these external objects, the Ou family has a long history. The forging methods of their ancestors are not something that ordinary people can compare to."

"And I heard that their family has a divine forging manual. It's said that it was personally written by Ou Yezi. It combines all the forging techniques in the world. The skills in it are profound and unfathomable. If you learn all of them, you can even forge a semi-divine weapon!"

Chapter 72: Being Targeted for No Reason? Bai Haoyu's Enmity

When the others heard this, they were dumbstruck. "With such a god around, what's the point of competing? First place is already in his pocket."

The others shook their heads. "You can't say that. Who knows if a dark horse will emerge, just like in the first Dao of alchemy competition."

The person who said this even looked at Gu Xi.

Other than Ou Yechen, there were other people whose strength could not be underestimated.

For example, the muscular man standing not far away from Gu Xi was called Wang Dazhu. Although he appeared rustic, his experience was also quite legendary.

Wang Dazhu was born in the wilderness, without any clan or sect. His status was even worse than Gu Xi's.

He was originally a wild hunter. It was said that he had accidentally entered a Secret Realm and obtained a great opportunity, allowing him to excel in the area of forging. From then on, he diligently practiced and formed his own sect. One could say that his strength was formidable.

"There's also this one. He comes from the wealthy Bai Clan. It is rumored that this Bai Clan is powerful and has a rich heritage. They have countless spirit stone mines in their hands. Just by sitting on the mountain and eating nothing, it is enough for the disciples of the Bai Clan to have an endless amount of spirit stones in their lifetime."

Everyone looked over. What greeted their eyes was a young master dressed in luxurious clothing. The embroidery on his clothes was made by countless skilled craftsmen. Even the materials used to make it were worth tens of thousands of gold. The materials caused the clothes to be impervious to weapons, water, and fire. It was enough to show that he had an extraordinary status.

"I heard that this Young Master of the Bai Clan has a close relationship with the imperial family." 𝗇𝞸𝑣𝚎𝓛𝑢𝑠𝒷.𝗰𝐎𝓜

Bai Haoyu did not look like he was here to participate in the competition. Regardless of whether it was his aura or his surroundings, he did not seem to fit in. He looked like a young master who had roamed the world and was here to enjoy the scenery.

"Don't think that Bai Haoyu doesn't care about the affairs of the world. He's a gamer, and his forging skills are top-notch. In addition to the Bai Clan's assets, he has money and connections. How can anyone compete with him?"

One had to know that refining weapons and artifacts were different from refining pills. If the medicinal ingredients were not good enough, one could rely on one's own skills to turn something useless into something magical. However, refining weapons was about the actual ingredients.

Even if one had heaven-defying skills, one would not be able to turn a pile of scrap metal into a divine weapon. Therefore, materials were extremely important. It was just like cooking. Only when the ingredients were good would the taste be good.

No matter how good one's skills were, even if the God of Cooking was reborn, one would not be able to turn an overnight meal into a delicacy. The same principle applied to refining weapons. With a good foundation, one would not have to worry about not being able to refine good things in the future.

Whether it was Ou Yechen or Bai Haoyu, they were both formidable opponents. On the contrary, Gu Xi did not have much of an advantage.

In terms of background, he could not compare to Ou Yechen. His ancestor was a noble forging family, and he was also the descendant of the God of Forging. Just his thousand years of foundation was enough to crush many people that were present.

In terms of resources, he could not compare to Bai Haoyu. Ordinary forging materials could be bought with spirit stones. However, for those extremely rare and precious materials that could be used to forge divine weapons, even if you had money, you could not buy them.

They were all collected by the aristocratic families and the major sects, so they would not take them out easily. No matter how you looked at it, Gu Xi did not have much of a chance of winning.

The reason why the major sects were so eager to participate in the Dao Conference in the Capital was not only because they could make a name for themselves and obtain resources and opportunities, but also because they could raise the level of their sects.

Small sects like the Supreme Purity Sect were originally categorized as third-grade sects. If their disciples could obtain good results in the Dao Conference, they could directly be promoted to a second-grade sect.

Therefore, whether it was the Sect Master, Wu Huaqing, or the others, they all thought highly of it. It was not easy for a monster like Gu Xi to become the first in the Dao of alchemy. It gave them hope. This was something that had never happened before.

As long as they entered the final stage in the refining competition, the promotion of their grade was a certainty. Therefore, at this stage, they could only succeed and not fail.

"Elder Wu, it seems that the people Senior Brother Gu is facing this time are all quite troublesome."

Wu Huaqing's gaze was firm. "No matter what, we must do our best to help him and obtain a good ranking in this weapon refining competition."

Everyone already understood the rules of the competition. Green Lotus Princess gave everyone time to prepare for the smelting matters. In the afternoon, the competition would officially begin.

Wu Huaqing pulled Gu Xi and rushed to the largest smelting materials market in the capital. Whether it was alchemy or weapon refinement materials, there were many of them. It could be said that they had everything. Many people were trading there, and it could be said that they were extremely famous.

"We didn't bring many materials when we came. I also collected some for you before, but there wasn't enough time. Now let's see if there are any other good things here."

Ou Yechen and Bai Haoyu made Wu Huaqing feel a sense of crisis. He wanted to find better materials for Gu Xi.

There was a dazzling array of items in the market. Suddenly, Wu Huaqing's eyes stopped, and he pulled Gu Xi over as if he was attracted by something.

"Wrap this up, boss. I'll take it."

It was a Red Copper Immortal Tear Stone. It was rich in spiritual energy and stable. If it was added to the materials, it could greatly improve the performance and quality of the Magical Artifact or weapon.

"Boss, can you give me a cheaper price?"

"Sir, you must be joking. This is a top-grade Red Copper Immortal Tear Stone. The price is already very low. How can I go any cheaper? In the entire market, this stone is rare. It can only be found by chance."

Although the stone in front of him was only the size of a fist, the price was terrifying. Looking at the string of zeros, Wu Huaqing gritted his teeth and said that he would buy it even though his heart ached a little.

After all, it was related to the fate and future of the entire Supreme Purity Sect. No matter what, he had to buy it to give Gu Xi more chips.

However, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the Red Copper Immortal Tear Stone.

Bai Haoyu looked at the stone in front of him and said with appreciation, "I want this stone."

Looking at this guy who came out of nowhere, Wu Huaqing could not help but say, "We took a fancy to it first. I'm afraid it's not good for fellow Daoist to do this."

Bai Haoyu did not even spare him an extra glance. "What's not good about it? You want it, but you haven't paid for it yet. Also, even if you paid for it, so what?"

These words sounded extremely overbearing, but Bai Haoyu did indeed have the strength. His gaze fell on the shopkeeper.

"How much?"

The shopkeeper recognized Bai Haoyu at a glance. He could be said to be a spendthrift in the capital. He was rich and overbearing, and there was no one who did not know him. He instantly became much more enthusiastic.

"30,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

Bai Haoyu waved his hand and said, "I'll pay you 40,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

As soon as he finished speaking, he even deliberately glanced at Gu Xi.

"You must be the previous number one in the Dao of alchemy, Gu Xi, right? Since that's the case, there's no need to join in the fun in refining weapons. It's also a waste to give you this good material."

After he finished speaking, he took the Red Copper Immortal Tear Stone and left, walking away arrogantly. For some reason, Gu Xi felt as if he was being targeted. However, this was only the first time Gu Xi had met him, so where did this enmity come from?

Chapter 73: You'll See the Real Deal on the Field

Seeing how arrogant Bai Haoyu and the others were, Wu Huaqing had no choice. After all, their strength could not compare to the Bai Clan's. He could only avoid them for now.

"Forget it, let's go and look at the other materials."

However, no matter where they went, they would run into Bai Haoyu. It was as if they were waiting for them. Every time, they would spend a high price to snatch away the item that they wanted. Once or twice, it could be said to be an accident. However, the more times they did it, the less it seemed like a coincidence.

Just as Bai Haoyu was about to cut him off again, Wu Huaqing finally could not hold it in any longer. "May I ask what you are doing, Young Master Bai? It seems that our Supreme Purity Sect has never offended the Bai Clan before. Why are you going against us everywhere?"

Bai Haoyu did indeed have a puzzled expression on his face, "Really? You don't have to put it that way. It's just that I happen to have my eyes on something that you guys have your eyes on. So what if you spend more spirit stones to buy it? You guys can also offer a higher price."

When he said the last sentence, his face revealed a mocking expression. Clearly, there was a hint of provocation in it.

Wu Huaqing sneered and said, "That's really quite a coincidence. Every time, we happen to bump into you, Young Master Bai."

Bai Haoyu's subordinates said in a strange tone, "If you don't have any spirit stones, you can't blame others. Doesn't that Gu Xi know how to concoct pills? Why doesn't he concoct more pills to sell so that he can exchange them for spirit stones?"

Gu Xi was number one in the Dao of alchemy. However, those words described him to be no different from those of ordinary alchemists on the streets and alleys. It could be said to be a great insult.

For a moment, the Supreme Purity Sect disciples were indignant. "You've gone too far! You've simply gone too far."

Just as they were about to go up and argue, they were stopped by Wu Huaqing.

The Bai Clan was a local power in the capital and had close ties with the imperial family. It was simply not something their small Supreme Purity Sect could contend against. Even if Gu Xi was number one in the Dao of alchemy, he could not shake this behemoth.

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect could only watch Bai Haoyu and the others leave. Because they had interfered, they had not bought any particularly precious or rare materials.

"Elder, what should we do now? If this is the case, what can Senior Brother Gu use to compete with those people..."

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect could not help but reveal dejected expressions. "Just how did we offend Bai Haoyu? Why is he finding trouble with us like this?"

Logically speaking, Ou Yechen and the others should be more of a threat to Bai Haoyu. No matter what, they should not be targeting Gu XI. This was something that puzzled everyone.

Someone suggested, "There's still a little time left. Why don't we take a look again?"

However, there was not much time left until the start of the competition. Even if they searched, based on Bai Haoyu's character, he would probably sweep the area and leave them with nothing.

"Forget it, there's no need." Gu Xi stood with his hands behind his back. "A true expert can refine a peerless divine weapon even if it's just a pile of scrap metal."

Gu Xi's eyes were dark as he looked at Bai Haoyu's back as he left. A fierce light flashed across his eyes.

However, he did not know that these words were heard by an old man who was passing by.

In an instant, everyone from the Supreme Purity Sect was stunned on the spot. Those who did not know of his demeanor would have thought that he was a master blacksmith who had appeared out of nowhere. However, no one had ever seen Gu Xi refine a weapon, nor did they know his level of skill.

"Senior Brother Gu is so confident. I think his weapon refining skill is not inferior to pill refining. He even took first place in the Dao of alchemy. Weapon refining is not a problem for him!"

"Come on, Senior Brother Gu! When the competition is later, let's teach that kid a lesson."

Perhaps they were influenced by Gu Xi's imposing manner and Bai Haoyu's deliberate provocation, which caused the morale of the Taiqing sect to soar. For some reason, they all had blind confidence in Gu Xi.

It seemed that as long as he wanted to, he could do anything.

If Wu Huaqing and the others knew that Gu Xi had not even refined a single Magical Artifact or weapon, they would definitely overturn their current beliefs.

Back at Sword Mountain, the line-up was even stronger. Many people had prepared materials, and some even pulled a horse carriage over. It could be said that it was extremely exaggerated.

The most exaggerated person was Bai Haoyu.

He was sitting on a chair, and a beautiful maidservant was fanning him while serving him tea. Those who did not know better would think that he was here for vacation. Behind him, the materials piled up into a small mountain, causing everyone's jaws to drop. 𝔫𝑶𝗏𝖾𝑙𝑈𝓈𝕓.𝓒𝑶𝗆

At first glance, these materials were worth a fortune. Many people looked over with envy and jealousy.

One of the disciples seemed to have noticed something, and could not help but exclaim, "Quick, look at the person next to Bai Haoyu."

Bai Haoyu was currently conversing with t, and they seemed very close. It was as if they had noticed Gu Xi and the others' gazes, the two of them looked over at the same time.

Shockingly, the person standing next to Bai Haoyu was Han Tian, who had been very powerful in the Dao of alchemy competition. He had lost to Gu Xi in the end.

Han Tian was expressionless, but Bai Haoyu once again revealed a provocative and mocking smile. Seeing this, everyone finally understood why Bai Haoyu had repeatedly snatched things from them.

"So Han Tian and Bai Haoyu know each other. Presumably, he's trying to take revenge for Han Tian, so he's using such methods. Bah! To think that the Capital's Bai Clan would stoop so low."

"If you have the ability to defeat Senior Brother Gu in the competition, you must be ashamed of yourself for using such unpresentable methods."

They did not expect Bai Haoyu to actually walk toward them. He said, "I heard that you're very good at pill refining, but refining weapons is different from pill refining. I wonder how good your skill in refining weapons is?"

If it were not for his provocative actions and words, it would have been as simple as a friendly exchange.

Gu Xi smiled faintly. "You'll find out in the competition later."

Chapter 74: This Person's Greatest Enemy

Perhaps it was because Bai Haoyu was unable to see Gu Xi's embarrassment, anger, or dejected expression, Bai Haoyu was somewhat unwilling to accept this. He turned away and seemed to have thought of something.

"It seems like you don't have any outstanding materials here. Do you need me to lend you some?"

With his lofty tone and attitude, one would think that he was doing Gu Xi a generous favor. However, Gu Xi's expression did not change at all. In fact, his gaze did not even change.

"I'm not sure if you're worried."

Bai Haoyu felt as if he had punched cotton. Feeling bored and unsatisfied, he left. He turned around, and his originally arrogant and despotic expression completely disappeared. It was as if he had changed into a completely different person. His gaze was like an unfathomable deep pool.

How could someone who could participate in the Dao competition in the Capital be an ordinary person? Even if the Bai Clan had some connections, Bai Haoyu was still someone formidable.

All the previous actions were just a pretense to numb the other competitors. After all, a hedonistic Young Master relied on his clan's financial resources to participate in the competition. No matter how good the materials were, if he was not strong enough, he would not be able to make it to the end.

Among the competitors, it was clear that most participants had set their eyes on the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi. This was also what Bai Haoyu wanted to see. He did not want to stand out too much, nor would he be looked down upon by others.

Han Tian chuckled. Looking at Bai Haoyu's expression, he knew that he failed to rile up Gu Xi.

"I say, why are you doing this? Besides, even if I were to defeat him, it would be in the Dao of alchemy. Aren't you being a little mischievous?"

Bai Haoyu said unhappily, "I'm just helping you. It's fine if you don't appreciate me, but why are you saying such things?"

It could be seen from their conversation that they were on very good terms. Otherwise, Bai Haoyu would not have gone to find trouble with Gu Xi like this.

"However, with your involvement, I reckon that he won't have a smooth journey in this weapon refining competition."

Bai Haoyu smiled coldly. "So what if he doesn't have a smooth journey? Even if he buys those materials, as long as I'm around, his chances of winning are slim. I will definitely be the final winner."

Han Tian shook his head. He recalled Gu Xi's performance in the Dao of alchemy competition and felt that he was not as simple as he appeared to be. The cauldron and his final actions were filled with mystery and unfathomable information.

"This person will be a great enemy. No matter what, you still have to be careful."

Bai Haoyu did not seem to mind at all. "This Gu Xi's temperament is even stronger than I imagined. However, aren't you exaggerating a little too much when you say that he's a great enemy?"

"Although he does have some talent in pill refinement and is able to defeat you and even impress Alchemy Emperor Lu, pill refinement and weapon refinement are two different things. It doesn't mean that he has mastered weapons refinement."

Han Tian did not refute him immediately. After a moment, he said, "You might not believe me if I tell you this, but he seems to carry an aura with his every move. I've already noticed it when he was refining pills. I feel that he's not inferior in weapon refinement either." 𝒩𝑶𝗏𝑒𝑙𝑢𝑠𝕓.𝒸𝗈𝔪

Bai Haoyu obviously did not take his words to heart. He patted Han Tian's shoulder and said, "You're speaking in riddles. You're probably still in shock from the defeat. Just you wait and see how I'll crush him and avenge you."

Bai Haoyu's expression was filled with contempt. He was totally underestimating Gu Xi. However, when he thought about his strength and the Bai Clan's background, he felt that he indeed had the right to be proud.

"Furthermore, even if he's as powerful as you say he is, he doesn't have any top-grade materials. How can he compete with me?" Bai Haoyu paused, revealing a hint of mysteriousness.

"You have to know that the trump cards in my hands aren't something that they can compare to."

Seeing how confident his good friend was, Han Tian knew that no matter what he said, Bai Haoyu would not listen. He had said all that he could. Perhaps it was really as Bai Haoyu had said, that he was overthinking things.

At this moment, there was an uninvited guest in Green Lotus Princess's carriage.

The gray shadow was like a ghost as it slowly revealed itself. It was an old man who was about to die. It was like a flickering candle in the wind that was about to be extinguished.

It was the old man who had brushed past Gu Xi and Bai Haoyu in the market just now.

Soft and charming laughter came from the carriage, but the people around them did not seem to hear it. It was clear that this place was set up with an exquisite formation. Not only could it block Divine Sense, but nobody would be able to detect anything from outside.

"Such an interesting thing actually happened. This is the first time I've heard such a saying. A true expert can refine a peerless divine weapon even if it's a pile of scrap metal..."

If Gu Xi was here, he would have realized that what Green Lotus Princess had said was almost the same as what he had said before.

"Elder Zhao, who do you think has the best chance of winning among these contestants?"

The old man looked around the arena and said in a hoarse voice, "That kid from the Bai Clan is hiding his strength. Don't be fooled by his grand reputation and frivolous manner. I heard that he is quite capable, but..."

His tone paused, "Ou Yechen is not to be underestimated. After all, he is the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi. Furthermore, the Ou family is extremely mysterious. It is very difficult to figure out their background. However, considering their lineage, they are powerful indeed."

"Does this mean that Elder Zhao thinks more highly of Ou Yechen?"

Elder Zhao did not reply, but his gaze landed on Wang Dazhu. "Although this kid's background is not high, he has a lot of secrets. To be able to obtain such a great opportunity, his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary."

Green Lotus Princess looked at the few people that Elder Zhao had mentioned. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

These three people were evenly matched, and each had their own strengths. However, Elder Zhao was able to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses with a single sentence. His insight was as sharp as the eye of fire, and he was extremely sharp.

"What about this one?"

Elder Zhao followed Green Lotus Princess's gaze and looked over. It was surprisingly Gu Xi.

Chapter 75: The Mysterious Old Man

After seeing who Green Lotus Princess was talking about, elder Zhao fell into silence. After a moment, he said, "I can't see through him."

When he said this, Green Lotus Princess was a little surprised.

"Is there anyone in this world that Elder Zhao can't see through?"

Even though Elder Zhao had only caught a glimpse of Gu Xi just now, Gu Xi had left an extremely deep impression on him. It did not matter if it was Gu Xi's choice of words or the aura around him.

Green Lotus Princess casually fiddled with the bead curtain, her clear voice ringing in his ears. "Hearing you say this, I'm even more curious about whether he can refine a peerless divine weapon..."

After a moment, Elder Zhao hesitantly said, "Perhaps not."

Although Gu Xi did not seem to be boasting, even if he had the heart to create a peerless weapon, he did not have the strength or the ability to do so.

"This kid has shone brilliantly in the alchemy competition. Even Alchemy Emperor Lu personally came down to praise him. No, let me rephrase... Back then, Lu Haoxuan's attitude was extremely respectful. He almost worshipped Gu Xi like a god."

"No one has ever been able to dominate in the alchemy and weapons paths at the same time and achieve extraordinary achievements."

Elder Zhao's words were firm and decisive. This was also a well-known truth. Everyone knew that there were such outstanding figures in the ancient times. However, at that time, the spiritual energy was abundant. It was simply impossible now.

A person's spirit was limited. It was already very rare for one to be able to study one path and achieve extraordinary achievements. How could it be possible to cultivate two paths at the same time?

"It's a pity that you said that. I couldn't spare time that day and couldn't witness that match."

A gentle breeze blew, and the beautiful face under the white veil was faintly discernible. As the beaded curtains collided, the last sentence dissipated into the air, almost inaudible.

"Elder Zhao doesn't have much time for us. We must quickly find that person. Perhaps this match will be an opportunity to..."

Elder Zhao's expression changed slightly. "Princess, please don't worry. I understand." 𝔫𝑶𝗏𝖾𝑙𝑈𝓈𝕓.𝓒𝑶𝗆

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared. It was like he was never there.

Green Lotus Princess faintly sighed. She looked to the sky, and her gaze carried a sort of indistinct sorrow and mystery. As the most respected princess in the capital, it was unknown what secret she was hiding.

"Pass down the order. The competition can begin."

Clang–

The distant sound of a bell rang out, drifting through the mountains and forests. It carried an ancient and heavy aura, startling countless birds. It was as if even some sort of existence on Sword Mountain had been awakened.

Countless people raised their heads to look. They saw a curtain of light rise into the air. It carried a powerful and unfathomable aura, isolating the participants and spectators. This curtain of light acted as a protective barrier. The spectators could still see the scene inside clearly.

Ou Yechen, Bai Haoyu, Wang Dazhu, and the others quickly began to move. The other participants followed closely behind.

The materials prepared by Bai Haoyu were the most luxurious. In short, there was nothing that could not be seen. Any one of the raw materials would cause countless refiners to fight over it.

"It is said that the Frost Jade Ice Particles are extremely rare. It takes a lot of time to produce them. I wonder where the Bai Clan found so many of them."

"The Great Swamp Divine Sand is often found in the Eight Desolates Great Swamp. With the appearance of the mirage, ordinary people can't touch it at all. Even if they enter it, they will easily get lost!"

"Isn't this the Water of Lightness that has long been lost? I didn't expect the Bai Clan to have some in their inventory!"

...

Golden light shone brightly, and spiritual energy flickered. Everyone was dumbstruck. They knew that the Bai Clan had a deep foundation, but they had no idea that what they had seen in the past was just the tip of the iceberg.

Even some of the major sects could not afford to use such precious materials. However, Bai Haoyu's collection had all these magnificent and rare materials. People could not help but sigh at how deep their foundation was.

"In the past, it was always said that the Bai Clan possessed countless spirit veins and minerals. In fact, they were so rich that they could rival a nation. At first, I thought it was a bit of an exaggeration. But now that I look at it, it really does live up to its reputation. Even if all the people present were to put their efforts together, they wouldn't be able to compare. "

"There are some things that no longer exist in this world. I never thought that I would actually be able to see them here."

"Isn't that right? Even if Bai Haoyu's craftsmanship is average, with the help of these materials, his crafted weapons and artifacts would still be extraordinary."

Furthermore, although Bai Haoyu looked like a sheltered brat, his strength was not that of a weakling. Otherwise, he would not have received such an evaluation from Elder Zhao.

Bai Haoyu showed off the Thousand-year-old Frigid Iron, the Extraterrestrial Meteorite, the Blazing Pupil Gold that he had collected from the depths of the Earth's core. He also had the sturdiest materials in the depths of the ocean.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and other elements were attracted by a particular type of attraction and were very active in the air. Although these rare materials could raise the grade of the weapon, they also required a certain amount of ability to fuse with it.

Bai Haoyu's actions were orderly and fluid, as if he had already forged them countless times. Just from this, it could be seen that his strength was not simple.

"With so many materials, what exactly is he trying to refine? It's true that having many materials is good, but you have to mix them well in order to bring out the greatest effect. Otherwise, it will only backfire."

"Some people just say that grapes are sour because they can't eat them. Why do you care about what he's doing? Stop trying to boss others around. If you have the ability, then go and participate in the competition."

The competition had just begun, and there was already a dispute outside the stadium.

Chapter 76: Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen

"It seems that Bai Haoyu is indeed a powerful opponent. I wonder if Ou Yechen will feel pressured."

Everyone was amazed by the amount of materials Bai Haoyu had, and they were all rare and precious. As for Ou Yechen, he was much more low-key. Although the materials he took out were not bad, they were not as good as Bai Haoyu's.

Ou Yechen's clan had a deep foundation, but they focused on accumulation and inheritance, as well as forging techniques. After all, they were not as rich as the Bai Clan. They had all kinds of precious raw materials, and they brought them out as if they did not care about money.

In terms of materials, Bai Haoyu seemed to be better. However, Ou Yechen was not flustered in the face of such a situation.

A spirit light flashed, and he summoned a furnace. An ancient aura spread out, and everyone could not help but feel their hearts tremble.

The furnace was dark in color. It was the rust that had accumulated over time and was almost completely covered in its original color. However, it did not seem cumbersome or dirty, and instead, it was filled with an inexplicable divinity.

"Why does the rust on it look so much like the legendary Eternal Immortal Stone...?"

The Eternal Immortal Stone was a material used to forge divine artifacts. It was now extinct in the world, and even the Bai Clan could not find it. It might only exist in the tomb of the Ancient Emperor.

"It's not just the Eternal Immortal Stone! There's also the Ancient Dream Crystal! Primal Chaos Essence!"

The more they looked at the rust on it, the more they could feel that it was extraordinary. It was as if a powerful artifact had been brewing. Everyone was dumbfounded.

There was even a picture of the sun and moon carved on top of the furnace. The essence energy circulated around its body, telling them how extraordinary it was in the past.

It could be seen that this furnace had a long history. The materials left behind were all left behind from the forging of some kind of divine weapon. After thousands of years, they could still feel an inexplicable sharpness.

Even though it was fleeting, there was an invisible pressure that enveloped everyone's hearts. It was as if they saw a divine weapon slowly being born from the furnace, revealing its sharpness. Everyone who saw it was filled with admiration and submitted to the divine weapon.

It took them a long time to come back to their senses. They said, "This must be the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace that Ou Yezi used! It really lived up to its reputation. It was said that the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace had gathered the most precious materials in the world, and even mixed them with a few wisps of Origin Qi of all things. It was an existence comparable to a divine artifact. "

"Back then, Ou Yezi used this furnace to forge the Nine Great Divine Swords. It triggered a Heaven and Earth phenomenon. That movement was felt by almost everyone. If I could advance a few hundred years, I would be able to see the grand occasion."

"It's a pity that after Ou Yezi, there was no one who was as outstanding as him. I don't know how much of the ancestors' abilities were passed onto Ou Yechen."

"You don't have to worry about that. The Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace has spirituality and can recognize its owner. After Ou Yezi, the divine weapon did not respond and was sealed from then on. I did not expect it to see the light of day again and fall into Ou Yechen's hands. With the recognition of the divine weapon, his future is bound to be limitless."

Ou Yezi's family had been hiding from the world for many years. They had been living in seclusion. Ever since Ou Yezi's fall, although their reputation was still outstanding and they were respected by the world, only they knew that they did not have the strength that Ou Yezi had when he was alive.

They had always wanted to restore their family's glory, but they had never thought that they would choose to appear at this year's Dao Conference.

It seemed that because the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace recognized its master, they had a new idea and announced to the world that the Ou Family had returned once again!

"The Heaven and Earth Sm elting Furnacecan automatically absorb the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth and put it into the materials, allowing them to better fuse together, bringing a huge attribute bonus. Ou Yechen can be said to be like a tiger with wings."

"His own strength is quite extraordinary. As the youngest and most talented junior in the Ou Family, coupled with the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace, it will be even more difficult for others to surpass him."

Other than that, Ou Yechen also had secrets such as the Heavenly Flame and the forging technique with him. This kind of top-notch luxurious configuration was probably something that others would not be able to catch up to no matter what.

The appearance of the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace made many people feel a sense of danger. However, the greater danger was still to come. 𝔫𝑶𝗏𝖾𝑙𝑈𝓈𝕓.𝓒𝑶𝗆

A flame shot straight into the sky like a blooming red lotus. The sky seemed to start burning unceremoniously.

The moment the flame in Ou Yechen's hand appeared, all the flames that were burning in the area actually shook for a moment. Then, they gradually dimmed, as if they had seen a king.

Those contestants had expended a lot of effort, but they were still unable to recover these flames.

"What's going on?!"

This strange scene made everyone exclaim in amazement. Someone who knew the situation explained, "Only high-level flames can have a restraining effect on other flames. Obviously, Ou Yechen's is much higher than theirs."

After such a change, many people's weapon refinement was affected. After all, the size and level of the flame would affect the fusion of the materials.

It could be seen from the situation of a contestant near Ou Yechen. Looking at the shapeless object in his hand, his face was full of dejection.

"This flame is too powerful. Those contestants don't even have the ability to resist."

Although Bai Haoyu's flame level was not as high as OuYechen's, no one knew what method he used, but the flame was not affected at all.

The others were also flustered and finally stabilized. Only then did they not make too big of a mistake. After surviving the disaster, everyone looked at Ou Yechen with even more fear and dread.

If this happened again, they did not dare to guarantee that they would still have the luck to successfully survive the disaster.

Bai Haoyu frowned and looked at Ou Yechen, who was standing next to him. A sense of danger rose in his heart. "As expected of Ou Yezi's descendant. His strength is not to be underestimated."

Chapter 77: Bai Haoyu's Trump Card, the Human-Shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone

It was said that the layman would just watch the show, but the expert would see the trick. Even though the weapon in Ou Yechen's furnace had not taken shape yet, Bai Haoyu already felt an inexplicable threat.

"No, I have to refine it before him."

He, Bai Haoyu, must be the first person to succeed in refining a weapon.

This was not only to appear impressive, but more importantly, every time a powerful weapon was successfully refined, but it would also definitely affect the embryos that had yet to take shape.

Bai Haoyu could ignore Gu Xi, but he regarded Ou Yechen as his number one rival. After all, he was Ou Yezi's descendant, and the threat was too great.

If he could use this opportunity to crush Ou Yechen, it would be for the best.""? Even if he could not crush Ou Yechen, he could still disrupt his weapon refinement. Then, he would definitely be number one in wepon refinement.

Bai Haoyu could not help but speed up the progress of his weapon refinement. Everyone's attention was attracted by Ou Yechen just now, and once again, their gazes returned to Bai Haoyu.

Although his furnace could not compare to Ou Yechen's Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace, it was still a rare and precious Magical Artifact. It was a treasure that the Bai Clan had spent a lot of money to find.

There was a ball of light that was moving up and down, slowly solidifying. When Bai Haoyu saw this, he threw all the rare and precious treasures into it as if they were free.

"Nine Serenities Demonic Water! Purple Gold Snow Stone! Extreme Ice Divine Tree!"

Such a rare and precious material was thrown into it. Some people were clearly just spectators, but they had a pained expression on their faces. They could not help but sigh.

"Only the Bai Clan has the ability to expend so much energy. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have such a huge expenditure."

The most shocking part was that Bai Haoyu seemed to have made up his mind. He grabbed a handful of purple stones and released tiny bolts of lightning around them. As they were thrown in. Faint crackling sounds could be heard.

In an instant, rumbling thunder could be heard in the sky not too far away.

Someone exclaimed in shock, "These are Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones!"

These stones absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and contained powerful power of lightning. Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones were very rare, and it was very difficult to form them. One of them cost a lot of spirit stones, and they couldn't be bought. Yet, Bai Haoyu took out so many at once.They were piled up into a small mountain.

"Heavens... so many Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones. What exactly is Bai Haoyu trying to do?"

This was not all that surprising.

Bai Haoyu took out a fist-sized Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones. It was shaped like an infant, and everyone was dumbstruck. They stuttered, "How... how could this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones..."

The Immortal Stone was only as thick as a thumb, and would only grow bigger after a hundred years. To be able to grow to such an extent, it would take at least a few thousand years, not to mention ten thousand years. Furthermore, it had already taken the shape of a human!

"I'm afraid this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone is about to become a spirit."

If it could successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation, then this stone would be able to completely transform into a human. After all, it was extremely difficult for plants and animals to cultivate, and very few could gain sentience, not to mention something as dead as a stone.

One could imagine just how difficult this was, and it could be said that it was a 1 in 10,000 chance. Therefore, the Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone in the shape of an infant spirit was even more precious. If it could be cultivated to its full potential, it would definitely be an item born from the good fortune of Heaven and Earth.

"Then wouldn't it be a waste to use it here?"

"On the contrary, the spiritual energy in it would raise the quality of the weapon by several levels. Furthermore, since this stone was about to gain sentience, if one was lucky, it might even have a soul when the weapon is refined. "

"I think that's why Bai Haoyu chose to use this extremely precious Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone."

This was Bai Haoyu's secret weapon, and even Ou Yechen gave it a sidelong glance.

"Go!"

Bai Haoyu did not hesitate to throw the immortal stone into the furnace. The sound of thunder was getting closer and closer, as if it was exploding right next to his ears. It was as if he could faintly hear the sound of a baby crying.

More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky. Everyone could sense the uneasy aura. It was obvious that the thing Bai Haoyu had forged was not something ordinary.

With the addition of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone, the ball of light began to flicker, as if it had finally stabilized. Its shape was no longer ever-changing. Instead, it became slender and long, like a dragon swimming in the air.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

"According to its shape, it should be something like knives, spears, sticks, and so on. Its lethality should be quite high."

"This is a competition of weapon spirituality. Can it resonate with the Sword Mountain? No matter what kind of weapon it is, it has to make the Sword Mountain respond."

"But according to Sword Mountain's name, perhaps it would be better to refine a sword."

Everyone guessed what kind of weapon Bai Haoyu would forge.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning suddenly descended, shocking everyone as they looked up into the sky.

It was unknown when the thick lightning had been entrenched in the sky. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it glared at everyone. Everyone present felt an inexplicable pressure.

The 300-meter-long lightning transformed into a heaven-devouring beast that roared. Its enormous claws tore through the sky, creating countless deep ravines. The sky seemed to have turned into countless shards, and it revealed a powerful force that pressed down on everyone until they could barely breathe. 𝒩𝑶𝗏𝑒𝑙𝑢𝑠𝕓.𝒸𝗈𝔪

"W-what's going on?"

"Look at those beast heads!"

Some sharp-eyed people noticed that the ferocious beast heads were heading in the same direction as Bai Haoyu.

The heaven-devouring beast was actually formed from countless bolts of lightning. Its body seemed to be a passage in some other dimension, and occasionally, mysterious light would pass through it.

The originally white light gradually turned dark blue, and then dark purple. It was actually somewhat similar to the color of the lightning dragons. It could even be said that they came from the same origin.

Chapter 78: The Worship of Ten Thousand Beasts, Thunder Fire Lightning Whip

Translation

The others could not help but think of the many Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones that Bai Haoyu had added, as well as the last human-shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone. It must have contained an enormous amount of lightning attribute energy.

"I didn't expect that Bai Haoyu would be able to cause such a commotion. It seems that the thing he refined is about to be born."

It was the same as pill refining. Refining a high-level item would cause such a huge commotion. Looking at the lightning dragon hovering in mid-air, it was so lifelike that it looked no different from a real dragon. Everyone could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"I wonder what Bai Haoyu is refining."

"I originally thought that Ou Yechen would be the first to succeed. I didn't expect it to be Bai Haoyu."

"You can't say that. There's no rule that the first to succeed is the most powerful. I think Ou Yechen will be the best."

"That's right. Furthermore, Bai Haoyu relies on most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Which of those materials isn't powerful and extremely precious? In terms of true strength, Ou Yechen is more powerful."

"Hehe, you're speaking as if Ou Yechen didn't use the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. He's also using the power of a lot of external things."

Before the results of the competition were out, Ou Yechen and Bai Haoyu's supporters had already started quarreling. Everyone had different views. Some thought that Bai Haoyu was powerful. After all, only high-grade materials could make good Magic Artifacts and weapons.

Some thought that Ou Yechen was the true successor of his ancestors and deserved to be number one in weapon refinement. All in all, the people in the competition were focused on weapon refinement, and the people outside were not idle either.

Just as everyone was quarreling, the sky above them rumbled. Countless lightning bolts transformed into beasts and arrived above Bai Haoyu. It was as if ten thousand beasts were worshipping him, and all of them lowered their arrogant heads.

The scene was extremely shocking. Countless violet beams of light poured into the furnace, and it looked like a whale swallowing everything it touched. As it breathed, lightning flashed, and the spiritual energy in the furnace reached its peak.

"We're almost there!"

Everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats.

All ten thousand beasts cried out in unison! It was so deafening that it sounded like they were celebrating its birth. 𝗇𝑂𝒱𝖊𝓁𝓊𝑆𝚋.𝓒𝓞𝓂

It was rumored that if all living things in the world wanted to achieve true results, they would have to experience the punishment of Heavenly Lightning. However, this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone was accidentally contaminated with karma. Perhaps the Heavenly Lightning had accidentally struck it, causing it to be contaminated with its power. Together with the leaked spiritual energy, it seized the secrets of the Heavens and gave birth to a human form.

At the same time, it also recorded the lives under Heavenly Lightning. It was no wonder that when the spiritual energy gathered, it was able to cause such a strange phenomenon.

A dark purple figure slowly appeared in mid-air. Like a bolt of lightning, it suddenly lit up the gray sky, blinding everyone's eyes.

Countless lightning and fire surrounded it, like stars surrounding the moon. A whip appeared in everyone's line of sight. The light around its body shone so brightly that it seemed to leave deep marks in the sky. Countless bolts of lightning gathered at this moment.

Shockingly, there were traces of lightning on the handle of the whip. At the top of the whip was a blue stone that looked like a baby. It looked like a miniature version of the human-shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone from before.

However, this time, its eyes were half-open, as if it had really come to life.

When everyone saw this, they were incredulous. "How can this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone be so well-preserved?! Could it be that Bai Haoyu didn't use it just now?"

However, its body had indeed shrunk by more than half. Rather than saying that it had shrunk, it was more accurate to say that it had been condensed into its essence. It had fused with the Divine Whip, unleashing even more powerful spiritual power than before.

"It can be seen that the spiritual intelligence of this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone has not been completely wiped out. I believe that it won't be long before it will be nourished by spiritual energy, and it will be able to give birth to a Divine Embryo that is even more powerful than before."

"Bai Haoyu's forging technique is simply superb. Even in such a situation, the foundation of the Immortal Stone hasn't been destroyed. It's enough to show how high his skill in weapon refinement is."

Everyone understood the reasoning behind this and gasped in amazement. It turned out that Bai Haoyu had not planned to use up this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone in the first place. Instead, he had done his best to preserve it.

After all, a human-shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone had never been seen before. Bai Haoyu naturally would not recklessly waste it. He would preserve its foundation and let it become the spirit of the weapon. It could be said that he was using it to its fullest potential.

It sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult to do. Furthermore, it required superb techniques. If there was even the slightest mistake, it was very likely that it would become problematic.

However, from the final result, Bai Haoyu had made the right move! In the end, the two fused perfectly, giving the magical item infinite room to grow.

When the Divine Whip descended, Heaven and Earth shook. The thunder element was extremely active. The Divine Whip was surrounded by tiny bolts of lightning, which were the essence of a condensed form. It might seem like a small spark, but] a light wave of the whip could seriously injure a Dragon Transformation stage expert.

At the same time, Sword Mountain seemed to have sensed something and let out a cry of contention.

"Thunder Fire Lightning Whip!"

Bai Haoyu lightly shook his hand, and the whip in his hand moved like a divine dragon, surging with the power of thunder and lightning.

"Using such a Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone, it is indeed extraordinary. Who can compete with this whip?"

"You are speaking too early. Ou Yechen's whip hasn't been refined yet. It is still too early to decide the outcome of the round."

At this moment, because of the birth of the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip, many contestants had been affected. A few of them had yet to even form an embryo. This was due to the thunder and lightning.

Shockingly, there was an undetectable crack on one of the contestant's weapon. It was as if there was a tiny hole in a perfectly intact container, and the spiritual energy instantly drained out.

"No, don't!"

The contestant's face was pale, and he desperately tried to repair it. However, the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip's pressure was too heavy, and the crack spread rapidly like a spider web. Soon, the embryo lost its original spiritual energy.

No matter how he tried to repair it, he could not prevent the embryo from collapsing and being destroyed.

Chapter 79: Heaven and Earth Combined, Yin and Yang!

This also meant that he lost the qualification to compete and had no hope of making a comeback. Refining weapons was not like refining pills. One would prepare many materials, and there was only one copy. If one failed, one would not be able to refine it again.

"His embryo also has a lot of spiritual energy. He was so close too. What a pity."

He was not the only one. There were many others who had the same fate. They could not bear it, and could not accept the outcome. They fainted on the spot. 𝗇𝑶𝑣𝗲𝓵𝒰𝔰𝒷.𝔠𝒐𝚖

Everyone sighed, but there was nothing they could do. After all, it was their fault for not being able to withstand the pressure of the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip. It could only be said that their skills were inferior.

Even if Bai Haoyu did not deliberately target them, such a Spirit Weapon was extremely domineering. It announced its existence as soon as it was born.

Although the others were not affected like this, they would not walk away unscathed. Only Ou Yechen's expression was relaxed, as if he was cut off from the world. He did not take notice to these changes.

Bai Haoyu looked very pleased. He held the Divine Whip in his hand, and his gaze fell on Ou Yechen. At the moment, he was still in the forging process. Other than the commotion caused by the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace, everything else was normal.

"So what if he's the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi? He'll still fall behind me. I don't believe that he'll be able to refine something even more powerful than this."

Bai Haoyu thought that he was certain of victory and had the upper hand. When he saw that Ou Yechen was only so-so, a look of contempt appeared on his face.

Han Tian could not help but sigh when he saw this. His good friend's talent was indeed outstanding, but it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant.

"Ou Yechen hasn't even refined it yet. It's better not to let down your guard."

Bai Haoyu was not paying attention. "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that even if he refines anything, it won't be able to compare to the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip in my hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, he did not expect that the face slapping would come so quickly.

In the next second, Bai Haoyu's expression became serious. Someone cried out in alarm, "Look! What's that?"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

Not too far away, a vast expanse of violet Qi filled the sky. It came from the east in a vast and mighty manner. Even the lightning was forced back into a corner by it, gradually gathering above the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace.

An ancient aura emanated out from the furnace, as if an ancient God who had been sleeping for a long time had been awakened. The violet clouds covered it, giving birth to some sort of mystery. The entire sky was covered in such colors.

The black and white gases kept rising and falling in the purple clouds, as if a small world had been born. Countless ancient totems and runes were surrounding it, giving off an unintelligible yet powerful aura. It had faintly touched the edge of Dao!

"It's really too shocking."

Everyone could see that although this small world had not completely formed, it had already formed its own system. The Yin-yang five elements and the Tai Chi eight trigrams patterns covered the top of the entire furnace.

The Dao felt very soothing, as if it was formed naturally.

"Heaven is Heaven, Earth is Earth, Heaven and Earth are one. Yin and yang lean against each other. Rise!" Ou Yechen chanted, and the originally unmoving furnace began to tremble. Countless white smoke rose and was released from it.

His hands formed a complex and mysterious ancient mark, as if it was an extremely ancient language. He used another method to communicate with Heaven and Earth. A dense and huge array patterns quickly covered the entire arena, and even Sword Mountain was affected.

When everyone saw this scene, even their souls were taken away, and they came into a mysterious and mysterious space.

White fog lingered, and it was as if a fairyland had descended. One could see the towers, palaces, and carved railings. The extremely luxurious fairyland stood on the clouds, exuding a majestic and magnificent aura. Everyone itched to explore this place.

At the same time, the Tai Chi eight trigrams pattern also slowly rose, quickly covering the original sky. This time, the range was even greater than the previous lightning rampage.

It was as if everyone could only look up to the Tai Chi diagram, and even the Divine Whip from before was eclipsed.

The sound of the Great Dao could be heard from the horizon, as if it were telling a supreme mystery. Everyone was entranced by it.

Only Bai Haoyu's face was ashen. The tiny person on the Divine Whip had already opened its eyes slightly, and it would be able to fully open its eyes soon. By that time, it would be even more powerful.

However, under such circumstances, its eyes were slowly closing!

"How could this be?!" Bai Haoyu said in disbelief, unable to accept such a blow.

Han Tian could not help but sigh as he looked at Ou Yechen, who was standing not too far away. His face was as calm as ever, and he was neither happy nor sad.

Han Tian said, "He's usually silent, but when he makes a move, it dominates the entire arena. His tool embryo hasn't even formed yet, and he's already such a threat to you. If he succeeds..."

He did not finish the rest of his sentence. Clearly, he did not want to offend his friend. However, Bai Haoyu understood what he meant. He gripped the Divine Whip in his hand so tightly that the veins on his forehead were popping out.

"I've studied hard for many years, and I have the support of my clan's enormous wealth. Why can't I compare to him?!"

Bai Haoyu was unwilling to accept this. In the past, the Ou Family had not participated in the Dao Conference in the Capital. He did not know why they chose to come out this year.

If not for Ou Yechen, a powerful opponent, the position of number one in artifact refinement would definitely belong to him!

Golden Light suddenly erupted from within the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. It could be seen that the small world from before should have already matured. It was just that he did not know what kind of divine object it would give birth to.

He could vaguely see the sun rising and the moon setting. The four seasons were reincarnated. The plants withered and flourished. It was clearly just a small lump, but he could feel the Great Dao of life and death, karma, and many other Great Daos!

It was as if everyone had touched upon a divine, profound, and shocking wisdom. There were thousands of people and thousands of faces. Most importantly, everyone could actually see something different from it. After a round of discussion, they were shocked to the extreme.

Chapter 80: The Sword That Carried the Dragon's Roar Into the Nine Heavens!

"What exactly is Ou Yechen trying to refine? Why do I seem to see the river of time surging past us?!"

"I saw the connection between the power of karma, and even saw some things that had happened in the past. Suddenly, I had some new insights in my heart."

"I didn't see anything. It was as if I had a spring and autumn dream."

"I felt as if I had come to the Immortal Palace. I saw the Goddess dancing, eating a Thousand-year-old Saturn Peach, and drinking the Jade Nectar. How happy was that?"

That person said so with a look of endless aftertaste, causing the listeners to yearn for it.

However, all of this was caused by Ou Yechen. Now, his Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace was entirely made of gold, as the color changed, the energy became stronger and stronger.

In an instant, it swept through the entire scene, causing many people to take half a step back.

"Did you hear anything?"

The moment his voice fell, the Sword Mountain not far away suddenly erupted with a dragon's cry! The entire mountain began to tremble, as if something was about to come out.

Whether it was the people outside or inside the scene, they could feel the ground shaking, as if the Earth Dragon was rolling.

Roar!

Everyone felt as if their eardrums were about to be shattered. The thing in the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace was finally revealed, and the small world shattered into countless pieces.

In the golden light that filled the sky, a cold treasure sword appeared out of thin air. Two five-clawed golden dragons surrounded the sides of the body, as if they were the most loyal guardians. The dragon's eyes were bright and full of spirit, and the dragon's might was so great that no one dared to look at it directly.

The golden dragon slowly entered the sword, and the dragon's cry continued.

To seize the brilliance of the great sun, cast it into a sword, and then borrow the power of the universe to forge it into a Sword Soul, who would have such a spirit and skill.

Once this sword was unleashed, a powerful and scorching aura swept across the entire scene. Even the weapons on the Sword Mountain could sense it and let out a buzzing sound.

The dragon's cry of the Nine Heavens, a shocking sword, caused the Sword Mountain to cry out in unison. Such a scene was deeply engraved in everyone's minds.

Ou Yechen was neither sad nor happy. He held the Divine Sword in his hand and swept it lightly. Wherever he passed, it was as if a king was patrolling his territory. The other competitors, who had finally formed their artifact embryos, once again had a few more cracks.

Although some people had escaped Bai Haoyu's Divine Whip, they could not escape this shocking sword strike.

The power was clearly stronger than before. Bai Haoyu's face was ashen when he saw this. He knew that he had lost slightly. After all, even his Divine Whip had been affected.

At this moment, the spiritually-filled little man had completely closed his eyes. The truth was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to admit it.

"As expected of Ou Yezi's descendant. He really is powerful. I admit defeat."

However, Bai Haoyu was completely convinced of his loss. After all, Ou Yezi was known as the God of Forging, so how could his descendants be ordinary? However, he had never imagined that Ou Yechen would be so powerful. He simply did not lose out to his ancestors. In the end, he underestimated his opponent.

"Even Bai Haoyu said so. It seems that Ou Yechen is indeed powerful. He should be the final winner."

Everyone present was amazed. There were not many contestants left on the stage. Most of them were affected by the Divine Whip or Sword Qi. Under the powerful pressure, the embryo of the weapon would be damaged and could not be formed. Even if it was formed, it still leaked spiritual Qi.

At this point, some people finally noticed Gu Xi, who was in the corner. Immediately, a lot of waves were stirred up.

There was no other reason. Just when everyone was in a frenzy of refining, Gu Xi had not even started.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

"What is he doing? Could it be that he's here to make up the numbers?"

"He's the number one in alchemy. Even the Alchemy Emperor bowed down to him. You haven't seen such a scene. It can be said that it caused a stir in the entire stadium, causing countless alchemists to go crazy over him."

"You can't be bragging, right? So what if he's powerful in the Dao of alchemy? At this moment, he probably doesn't even know how to make a move. I think his weapon refinement skills should be very ordinary."

Most of the people present were weapon refiners. They did not hold Gu Xi in high esteem as they did in the first match. After all, refining a supreme divine weapon was their lifelong pursuit.

So what if Gu Xi's pill refinement was powerful?

Therefore, not many people paid attention to him.

"Could it be that the final winner will be Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen?" 𝚗𝒐𝐯𝗲𝑳𝑈𝓈𝕓.𝑪𝗈𝓶

Just as everyone was discussing.

Boom!

A sudden loud sound shook the ground again, shocking everyone to look in the direction of the sound.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, it was Wang Dazhu holding a huge hammer. The hammer was completely black and shone with a black jade-like luster. Countless runes flowed and were carved into it. Scriptures surrounded it, shining with the light of Immortal spirits.

The handle of the hammer was written with the words 'Clear Sky' in ancient characters. The strokes were like dragons and snakes. It looked incomparably rough and had an unspeakable sense of elegance. Due to the passage of time, it was quite worn out. However, one could still sense that it was extraordinary.

The divine aura circulating within it was actually not less than that of the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. One could tell that this hammer was a rare top-grade Magic Treasure.

There were many ways to refine weapons, but the mainstream was still similar to Ou Yechen and Bai Haoyu's methods. There were very few weapons that were forged by hammering.

Blacksmiths believed that this method was only used by blacksmiths in the mortal world. They despised this most primitive forging method because it did not have any technical content and did not reflect their standards.

However, at this moment, the crowd did not dare to criticize Wang Dazhu. It was obviously a simple and ordinary action, but his actions were filled with an indescribable and unknown aura.

"That's the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 81: The Power of the Clear Sky Hammer

Someone called out the name of the giant hammer. It was rumored that there was a blacksmith whose abilities were not inferior to Ou Yezi's. However, he was a low-profile person with a strange nature. He did not like to interact with people. In addition, he was mysterious, so he was not known by the world.

However, the divine weapon he used, the Clear Sky Hammer, was a well-known throughout the land. It was comparable to the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. It was rumored that Ou Yezi and this blacksmith once had a world-shaking competition.

Following that, Ou Yezi began his closed-door cultivation. The blacksmith's whereabouts were unknown. At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer also disappeared. According to Ou Yezi's descendants, the two of them were evenly matched in that competition. In the end, there was no winner.

"I didn't expect that this guy would have the Clear Sky Hammer. It seems that the opportunity that he obtained by chance is the inheritance of that mysterious blacksmith."

Everyone finally understood why Wang Dazhu was able to rise to the Heavens by relying on the opportunity that he obtained by chance. He was even able to form his own faction. It was all because of this mysterious blacksmith.

Ou Yechen, who had been expressionless the entire time, finally revealed a look of admiration when he saw the Clear Sky Hammer.

"That blacksmith was able to be on par with the God of Forging. He definitely has extraordinary strength. I didn't think that Wang Dazhu would have such a fortuitous encounter. Judging from his techniques, he probably had inherited everything."

The other members of the Ou Family had ugly expressions. As the descendants of the God of Forging, they had always adhered to Orthodoxy.

"Our Family is Orthodox. It has been passed down for thousands of years. This person with the hammer only uses unorthodox methods. Furthermore, this person was born in the wilderness. If we were to lose to him, it would be a disgrace to the Ou Family. Young Master, do you have the confidence to win?"

Facing everyone's hope, Ou Yechen was a little silent. He looked at Wang Dazhu, who was waving his huge hammer. He did not have an answer in his heart. Previously, he did not put Wang Dazhu in his eyes. However, now, it was different.

"Back then, there was no result for the battle between the grandmaster and that blacksmith. Do you think there will be a result today?"

Ou Yechen threw out this question. The Ou Family members were all silent. But if they really lost to Wang Dazhu, it would be a disgrace to their Family.

"Maybe we are overthinking. Even if this person has a great opportunity, so what? Our eldest Young Master's talent is not inferior. Moreover, after years of hard work and training, and with the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace recognizing him as its Master, he will surely stand out."

At this moment, Wang Dazhu had reached a critical moment in his weapon refinement.

"First hammer! Refine my Weapon Soul!"

As he roared, the sky and earth changed color. Wildness and divinity were displayed vividly on his body.

In an instant, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. A huge vortex appeared above Wang Dazhu's head. Spiritual power surged, and all kinds of elements gathered together. With the swing of the Clear Sky Hammer, they all poured down.

The ground could not withstand this huge energy, and a deep pit even appeared on the ground. There were several bottomless ravines, as if they were a passage connecting to a different world. A cold aura was emitted from them.

Due to this inexplicable power from beyond the Heavens, the entire land was riddled with holes. Even Sword Mountain was affected. Countless crushed stones rolled down, as if the world was about to be reorganized.

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, Wang Dazhu's figure became more and more blurry. He, who was in the center of the storm, stood still and waved the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand tirelessly.

Countless spiritual energies flowed between Heaven and Earth. After being forged by the Clear Sky Hammer, exquisite essence was extracted and poured into his materials.

The human figure slowly rose, and he was filled with endless mysteries. It was amazing. He was like an ancient God of Forging who had been summoned by his believers and descended into this world.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look at the sky."

The sky was gray, but in the southeast and northwest direction, there were two balls of light fighting each other.

"Why did the sun and the moon appear?!"

Many people thought that they were hallucinating.

The sun and the moon appeared at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, balancing each other and occupying the entire sky. At the same time, the stars flickered, surging with inexplicable power and aura.

No one had ever seen such a wonderful scene. Before they could react, the ground shook again.

"The second hammer, cast my Vessel Soul!"

Wang Dazhu waved the heavenly hammer in his hand again. This time, he smashed it even harder!

Two huge hands appeared in the sky at the same time. It seemed that the ancient human race was forging divine weapons here, relying on the most primitive and powerful strength.

An unknown phantom suddenly appeared behind Wang Dazhu. Every movement of his was filled with an ancient aura. It was as if even his dark and ordinary face had become extraordinary.

Everyone had the illusion that the person standing in front of them was not the original Wang Dazhu. It was as if something had crossed the river of time and arrived here.

The sun and moon shone faintly as they slowly sank. At this moment, the world lost its light. Just as the sun and moon alternated and the universe was reversed, the phantom behind Wang Dazhu actually disappeared into the embryo that had yet to take shape.

The originally dim sky burst out with a light that was even more dazzling than before. It was as if a hundred suns had gathered here, and everyone had no choice but to raise their hands to shield their eyes. 𝓃𝑂𝗏𝔢𝑙𝑈𝕊𝚋.𝒸𝗈𝑚

It was clearly a boring exercise. One after another, the sounds of banging could be heard endlessly, but Wang Dazhu's figure became extremely majestic and extraordinary.

"It is said that this Clear Sky Hammer weighs tens of thousands of pounds, and it is difficult for ordinary people to swing it. Those who can use this hammer are all people with great strength."

"Do you really think that anyone can use it? The Clear Sky Hammer also recognizes its Master, and being able to wield it for so long shows that Wang Dazhu's talent is quite extraordinary."

"I wonder who is better, the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace or the Clear Sky Hammer."

"These two things are both ancient inheritances, existences comparable to divine artifacts. It's really hard to say which is better."

Chapter 82: Ancient Giant Traverses the River of Time!

When Ou Yechen and the others saw this, their expressions were uncertain. There was also the discussion of the people around them, which disturbed their mood.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from the side.

"Do you think this country bumpkin can really surpass you? You are the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi, and that hammer guy is a boorish mountain man. If this gets out, won't others laugh their heads off?"

The person who said this was none other than Bai Haoyu. It was unknown whether he was just watching the show or speaking from the heart, but he had a mischievous expression.

"I admit that I lost to you, but if I lose to him, then the two of us would be too shameless."

Ou Yechen's expression did not change, but upon closer inspection, his emotions were not calm. His solemn gaze had long betrayed all of his emotions. "It's not the last moment yet. The outcome is still unknown."

Bai Haoyu smiled indifferently. "Let him be. I'm not fated to be in first place anyway."

He looked very free and easy. As for what he was thinking, only he himself knew. He was probably not in a much better mood than Ou Yechen at the moment.

The weapon embryo under the Clear Sky Hammer seemed to have been reborn. However, due to the powerful aura it emitted, the divine fog condensed and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

"Do you feel the ground shaking?"

Rumble–

The shaking became more and more intense, and many people felt it. They looked at the source of the shaking and found that it was coming from the top of the Sword Mountain.

"Why do I feel that this mountain is moving?"

This shocked everyone. They could not help but stammer, "Why is the mountain suddenly moving?" 𝓃𝑂𝗏𝔢𝑙𝑈𝕊𝚋.𝒸𝗈𝑚

The vibration of the Sword Mountain became more and more obvious. It was like an earthquake. Countless golden sounds came from the sky, like divine weapons intertwined together.

Some of the people who did not have high cultivation levels were affected. They had a splitting headache, and their eardrums started to hurt. It was as if they were going to explode in the next second.

"My head hurts so much. This power is too strong."

Many people's eyes turned bright red as they were affected. They began to regulate their breathing and meditate. At this moment, Wang Dazhu was brandishing the heavenly hammer, as if it was hitting them hard on the heart.

If Wang Dazhu continued to hammer like this, they would go crazy before the divine weapon was forged.

What kind of weapon could cause such a strange phenomenon on the Sword Mountain?

Wang Dazhu kept swinging the Clear Sky Hammer. By the end, everyone was numb. Logically speaking, he should have used up most of his physical strength by now, but with the help of God, his speed became faster and faster.

There were only continuous banging sounds in the arena.

Boom!

As the last strike landed, as if the dust had settled, an overbearing and powerful aura quickly occupied the entire arena.

Wang Dazhu cut his wrist at this time, and countless bright red blood splattered down. The Clear Sky Hammer was also stained with blood, and a thin line of blood condensed from it and entered the embryo.

As if drawing the finishing touch, in an instant, red light burst out. Wang Dazhu's creation condensed and started to take shape. It was heaven-defying.

At the same time, the red light did not disappear. Instead, it continued to rise, connecting to the horizon and forming a mysterious passage. A powerful and ancient aura came from it, and something was about to come out.

"I heard that in ancient times, there was a method of refining weapons. When the embryo was about to take shape, the blood essence of a blacksmith was added. Not only could it increase its grade, but it could also increase its spiritual energy. It was known as the Blood Forging Method."

"But not all blood has an effect. That is also divided among people. It is said that the blood of an ancient race has extraordinary characteristics. If an ordinary person recklessly added the Blood Essence, it would easily backfire. It might even destroy the spiritual energy of the original embryo."

"Could it be that this Wang Dazhu is not an ordinary village man, but the descendant of that ancient race?"

When the Ou Family members heard this, their expressions were somewhat disdainful. "Blood Forging Method? It is just some Unorthodox method. Only those who are not strong enough would rely on this method."

Everyone did not dare to agree with this, but due to the prestige of the Ou Family, it was not good to say anything.

The world shook, and strange phenomena kept happening. With the Blood Essence as the guide, red light spread out to form heavenly ladders, connecting to the vast universe. Even the river of time appeared. The river surged and flowed continuously.

The figure of the Ancient Giant appeared. Stepping on the river of time, he borrowed the power of the red light and waved the weapon in his hand. However, it was covered by the divine fog, so no one could see what he was holding.

His figure was tall and majestic. No one could look at him directly, nor did they dare to blaspheme him. In fact, they could not help but worship him in their hearts.

"What kind of weapon could have such an effect..."

Everyone was looking forward to the weapon that Wang Dazhu had refined.

The giant kept waving, and the dark sky gradually became bright as if Heaven and Earth were separated. Only then did they see what the giant was doing. The giant was expelling clear and turbid qi. Wherever it passed by, all the monsters would disperse.

Everything that touched the sharp weapon instantly vanished into thin air. The sky and earth became clear, and all the filth was removed.

Everyone could not help but think of an ancient legend. It was rumored that at the beginning of Heaven and Earth, there was a giant holding a Divine Axe that split Heaven and Earth apart.

Could it be that Wang Dazhu was refining a Divine Axe?

The moment this thought appeared, Heaven and Earth suddenly became clear. The yin and yang chaos slowly gained order, and the giant seemed to have completed his own mission.

The red light slowly dissipated, and his figure disappeared into the artifact embryo. However, the shock that he left behind could not be erased.

A huge axe appeared in front of them, almost on par with the Clear Sky Hammer.
