Chapter 1428: Chapter 1429: Another Supreme Elixir

On the square, it was filled with busy figures, and all participating Alchemists were showcasing their highest skills. Most Alchemists didn’t want to compete for the championship this time but rather wanted to prove they’re not inferior to the Dan Clan disciples.

As time elapsed, when the incense at the center of the square completely burned out, a huge bell sound resonated. All Alchemists stopped what they were doing in succession.

The contest had ended.

"All Alchemists stop your Alchemy; those who haven’t finished will automatically exit the competition area."

A voice echoed from the Dan Clan’s square.

Thirty percent of the Alchemists sighed and left the square because they couldn’t finish refining Pei Yuan pills in the given time.

"Next, those who believe they have the capability to contend for the championship, please raise your hand."

Dan Baicao said again.

The square instantly became silent. This statement carried a tactical nuance—only those confident enough would raise their hands, so those who know their own inadequacies wouldn’t bother embarrassing themselves, and those without real skill but wanting to join the fun wouldn’t shame themselves.

After several minutes of silence, someone finally raised a hand — it was Zi from Dragon Scale Valley.

Dan Chenzi and the disciple of the Pill Saint also smirked disdainfully. During the competition, they had noticed Zi, who was hardly on par with them.

Subsequently, Dan Chenzi and the Pill Saint’s disciple raised their hands simultaneously, drawing almost everyone’s attention. These two had tied for second place in the last Alchemist competition.

And Yang Rong, too, raised her hand naturally.

Yang Rong raising her hand also caused quite a stir.

"Is there anyone else who thinks they have the capability to contend for the championship? If not, other than these four, everyone else should exit!"

All participants, including the Pill Refining Powder, left the square, filled with resentment and regret.

Many knew Yang Rong, but her Alchemy skills were far inferior to Dan Chenzi and the disciple of the Pill Saint. As for Zi, they had no hope.

Without a doubt, this Alchemist competition’s champion would still belong to a disciple of the Dan Clan.

"Now, please ask the guard from Dragon Scale Valley to open Zi’s Pill Furnace."

Dan Baicao declared loudly, trusting their people to open the Pill Furnace, lest any riffraff accuse the Dan Clan of foul play—anyway, the championship was theirs regardless.

A guard from Dragon Scale Valley opened Zi’s Pill Furnace. A Divine Concealment Pill with markings appeared.

"Haha, only ninety percent purity for this Divine Concealment Pill. With this, he wants to contend for the championship?"

"Right, isn’t this the same guy who caused trouble yesterday? His Alchemy isn’t that great."

Immediately, a group of Dan Clan disciples started mocking.

But Zi turned a blind eye, not caring much about this contest’s outcome and instead focusing on how Yang Rong would fare.

"Let’s not waste time, open my furnace first!"

Yang Rong said promptly.

The Dragon Scale Valley’s guard was startled but slowly walked to Yang Rong, directly opening her Pill Furnace. An intense energy storm instantly swept out, and a rich fragrance of Pei Yuan pills burst forth from the Pill Furnace. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

On the square, all participants and spectators were shocked by the pills shooting out from the Pill Furnace.

Another Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill emerged.

The Pill Saint stood abruptly, searching around, but no matter what, he couldn’t find Ye Mo.

"Where is Ye Mo?"

The Pill Saint inexplicably shouted, unwilling to believe Yang Rong could refine a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill.

"What’s happening?"

Dan Baicao saw the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill floating mid-air, frowning. He had heard that during the last Alchemist competition, Ye Mo won with a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, and now, another such pill appeared.

"Another Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill? How could Yang Rong have refined such a pill?"

The Dan Clan elders were equally shocked.

"Pill Saint, I think the contest doesn’t need to proceed further!"

Yang Rong said calmly: "The method to refine a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill was taught to me by Ye Mo, whom I’ve acknowledged as my master. If he wishes, he could teach anyone to refine such a pill. I believe this Pill Saint title should go to my master."

"What? Could it be there’s indeed a method to refine a Supreme Elixir?"

A look of disbelief appeared on the Pill Saint’s face.

"Pill Saint, greetings!"

Amidst the shock of all, a calm voice echoed from the crowd, and Ye Mo emerged, standing tall like a spear in front of the Pill Saint and numerous Dan Clan elders.

"Ye Mo!"

The Pill Saint and others widened their eyes, looking at Ye Mo in disbelief.

Ye Mo hadn’t participated in the Alchemist competition; instead, he let Yang Rong compete and agreed to refine a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, slapping them hard in the face.

"It’s Ye Mo, the Ye Mo whose championship title was stripped by the Dan Clan. He’s returned, and even his disciple has refined a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill."

"Haha, looks like Ye Mo’s seeking revenge this time."

Everyone started whispering.

"I’m here not for anything else but to expose the ugly face of the Pill Saint."

Ye Mo gazed coldly at the Pill Saint: "The day I refined the Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, the Pill Saint coveted my Alchemy, wanting to take me as a disciple to obtain the refining method of Supreme Elixir from me. I knew his wolf-like ambitions and didn’t agree. He even colluded with many experts to try to kill me. How can such a person be worthy of the Pill Saint title?"

"Kid, stop talking nonsense!"

The Pill Saint’s face turned red, roaring furiously.

"Then why did you strip me of the championship title? While I don’t care much for it, your Dan Clan unjustly accused me of cheating. Now my disciple has refined a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill before so many people. What do you have to say now?"

Ye Mo said coldly, determined to list each and every transgression of the Dan Clan and the Pill Saint.

"Shut up!"

The Pill Saint spat out the words coldly, as Ye Mo continued stripping away his façade word by word, especially feeling the surrounding gazes that had shifted from admiration and respect to disgust, becoming unbearable for him.

"Shut up?"

Ye Mo sneered again: "Pill Saint, I haven’t even completely torn off all your masks. People call you the Pill Saint, but you’re a petty villain who colluded with the Pill Demon to frame your master, the Pill King, just to gain the absolute Alchemy method. While others call you a Pill Saint, in my eyes, you’re nothing more than a despicable man."

"You speak nonsense."

The Pill Saint’s face turned livid, never expecting the supposedly sealed secrets to be exposed again.

He, the Pill Saint, was utterly disgraced.
