Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 169: The heavens will punish you

When everyone came back to their senses, the pill had been smashed to pieces on the ground.

I had picked it up and smashed it down, but that wasn’t enough to destroy a pill like this.

Especially since my cultivation wasn’t that high in the first place.

After throwing it down on the ground, I raised my foot and stomped down on the pill.

Of course, with my cultivation, I also wouldn’t be strong enough to crush this pill.

So the one that had crushed the pill was the system.

When I lifted my foot and saw what was left, I couldn’t help being impressed.

It seemed that the system had been quite thorough in destroying the pill.

It had been ground into a fine powder that was now being swept away in the wind.

All of the alchemists around me had been in a daze at first until they smelled the powder that was being carried away in the wind. Even though it had been turned into a powder, it still had a healing effect that helped calm their minds.

But the fact that they had been healed made them feel even more bitter about all of this.

This was a precious pill line pill, a one of a kind pill that had never appeared in their generation. The only mention of this thing that they had ever heard of came from the ancient records.

So this was something precious if they could have gotten their hands on it. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

This was a sample that they could have studied to learn how to further their alchemy techniques.

Yet it had been destroyed in front of their eyes like this.

It would be an understatement to say that they were angry.

They wanted to rip the one that did this piece by piece with their bare hands, but they couldn’t do it.

Whether it was the ability to refine these pills or the one that had protected him, they couldn’t compare at all. If they were to really do something to him, then there was no telling what would happen.

So the only thing that they could do was look at Shen Qing Feng.

Shen Qing Feng had an exasperated look as he looked at me and asked, "Why did you do that?"

I gave a shrug and said, "It didn’t seem good enough to meet my standards, so I didn’t want to leave it for everyone to make fun of me with."

"Huh?" All of the alchemists were stunned the moment that they heard this since they never expected him to say something like this.

But then they were still filled with anger since...

"That’s no reason to destroy that pill!"

"That pill was a precious pill that was one of a kind in this world!"

"Right! How could you destroy that treasure?"

All of them started to complain to me, but I just tilted my head and said, "It’s mine in the first place, so can’t I do what I want with it?"

All of them immediately fell silent before turning to look at Shen Qing Feng with bitter looks on their faces.

After all, it was the Medicine King Sect who had decided on the rules of this competition

Those rules stated that these pills would belong to those that refined it.

But that was only because no one thought much about these third grade pills since they weren’t worth anything in the first place. No one thought that such an incident would happen where they would be filled with so much regret.

Shen Qing Feng also had a bitter look on his face, but he said, "But since your pill is gone, how do you expect us to judge you?"

I tilted my head again before saying, "Then you’re saying that you’re disqualifying me since I don’t have a pill to judge? Alright, that’s not a problem."

They were all taken aback once more when they heard this.

The only reason that Shen Qing Feng had said this was because he had wanted to see if he could get Lin Fan to refine this pill again. However, he never expected Lin Fan to just accept this decision without any resistance.

He thought that Lin Fan would at least say something about how he had refined the pill and how that should be enough, but now Lin Fan was just directly giving up.

But it wasn’t as if they could allow that.

The tribulation clouds had destroyed all of the other pills, so if Lin Fan really was disqualified...that meant that no one would make it through this round.

This wasn’t something that they could allow to happen...

Seeing that no one said anything, I just gave a nod and turned to leave as if this didn’t concern me at all.

But I didn’t make it two steps before Shen Qing Feng grabbed my shoulder and said, "Wait."

I turned around with a questioning gaze like I was asking him what he was doing.

Shen Qing Feng just said with a bitter look on his face, "But on account of your hard work, we can make an exception and let you pass since you did refine the best pill."

I tilted my head and raised a brow before asking, "Eh? Is that really good to do? Isn’t it better if you just disqualify me?"

All of the elders revealed bitter looks when they heard this.

This prodigal!

Why couldn’t he just follow the script and go along with them!

Why did he have to make things harder for them!

If they actually disqualified him, what would they do about this round?

They couldn’t just pick someone random to join the finals!

So they had to let him go to the finals even if they didn’t want to.

This prodigal!

The way that he acted, even the heavens would punish him!

But wait...the heavens seemed to have run away the last time that they came...

They just didn’t know how to feel about all of this...
