Chapter 319 – All Eyes Gathered
<hr>
With a faint buzz in his mind, Qin Yu returned to his body . The moment he opened his eyes, he heard a pitiful scream . He turned his head to see a Souths.h.i.+ne Nation official stubbornly holding onto a young man who was rolling back and forth on the ground in pain . His looks were decent, and with his elegant robes he should have come from some considerable background . Unfortunately, with his face twisted and tears and snot flowing all over, his robes had also long since been dirtied by the constant tumbling and he had lost all sense of dignity, looking completely like a crazy person now .
Seeing that it was becoming impossible to subdue him and the ruckus was becoming increasingly large, an official with a gloomy face who was originally standing by the side suddenly stepped forth and struck the youth’s neck with a palm, dropping him unconscious . However, when everyone saw that fellow whose head was halfway in the ground, they all shrank their necks, feeling pained for him .
“Lift him up, bring him away!”
The crowd parted, no one daring to stop this group of officials that were clearly in a bad mood . It was to be expected . This was a compet.i.tion that was officially organized by the Souths.h.i.+ne Nation, so now that grievous injuries had occurred, it would have a great impact on their reputation .
“This round of the compet.i.tion feels cursed! According to all the previous times, choosing the pill furnace should have been the simplest event . It should have been completed with a simple go around, but now, there is actually someone whose entire divine sense was crushed to pieces . Even if there is some miracle pill or medicine for him, this friend is sure to have serious aftereffects left behind . I wouldn’t be surprised if he was finished for the rest of his life!”
“And have you heard something else? Two cultivators from the West Brook Sect saw the corpses of several hundred monster beasts strewn about as they crossed the wilderness trial . This was likely the reason that trial was so easy this time around . ”
“News of that has already spread out far and wide . When the Blue Sea supreme elders from the Great Desolate Lake and Cleansing Temple confronted each other yesterday, it was already revealed that the mystic beast fodder medicine had been used . Hehe, those people from Cleansing Temple aren’t cautious at all . Even with evidence in hand, they obstinately continued to deny it . I don’t think things are going to end so simply . ”
“That’s only the short summary; I have the full version of the story . Those two West Brook cultivators didn’t just see several hundred monster beast corpses, they also saw some freakish corpse digger . I heard the scene was extremely b.l.o.o.d.y and horrific, and that abnormal corpse digger was cackling the entire time . There was even a video taken of it . However, it seems that they were warned afterwards, so this topic was suppressed . ”
“Holy s.h.i.+t, there is actually someone like that? Just with you describing it, it makes my hair stand on end . ”
<hr>
Lines drew down Qin Yu’s forehead . This was because if his reasoning skills weren’t wrong, the matters that these two people spoke of should be related to him .
Ignore it, ignore it, no one knew it was him anyways . He tightened his stare on the Pill Furnace PaG.o.da . Without accident, that ‘wild bull’ furnace from the ninth level should come out soon . Although he didn’t know what rank it was, he didn’t need to be a genius to know that it was bound to be incredibly fierce .
If a pill furnace of this rank appeared, would there be some sort of phenomenon? There was at least an 80% chance of that happening, and if it did, it would be hard for Qin Yu to keep a low profile . Moreover, if someone found out that he was the one who took the pill furnace from the ninth level, even if he disregarded all else, just that cultivator whose divine sense had been blown up as well as the influence behind him surely wouldn’t let him go!
To provoke unnecessary troubles for a brief moment in the spotlight was a mistake that only naïve young greenhorns would make .
As a rational and low-key person with the combat strength of a Divine Soul realm master, Qin Yu felt helpless . He could feel the beginnings of a headache starting to form . He stared tightly at the Pill Furnace PaG.o.da, his body tensed and the magic power in him starting to accelerate . He was prepared to suppress the pill furnace as much as possible, in hopes that the display wouldn’t be too dazzling .
In truth, at this time, besides watching for fun, many cultivators were watching Qin Yu . Most of them had already pa.s.sed through the paG.o.da’s test and found their own pill furnace . Those that hadn’t yet were all masters who had taken more time to break through to the higher levels .
It was now that Qin Yu sobered up . To draw the eyes of so many nearby cultivators was naturally one of the symbols of being a master . And once this event was over, those eyes were bound to be locked even tighter onto his body . Perhaps the cultivation of the cultivators here wasn’t too high, but they could still see the earnest solemnity in Qin Yu’s posture . Their hearts couldn’t help but wonder, had this fellow found some extraordinary pill furnace in the Pill Furnace PaG.o.da?
But before Qin Yu’s pill furnace came out, there was a loud laugh . “Hahahah! It’s high-grade, it's actually high-grade! The chances of a higher quality pill furnace appearing on the ninth level are indeed much greater!”
Zhao Jiutian had a look of smug satisfaction . His tensed expression began to relax, and it seemed as if his entire body loosened . What nonsense, this was a high-quality pill furnace! According to the probability of the previous compet.i.tions, no more than 50 high-grade pill furnaces would appear . And of those 50, fewer than 10 would actually fall into the hands of genuine alchemy masters .
Based on this point alone, Zhao Jiutian had already taken the advantage in this alchemy compet.i.tion without refining a single pill . In addition to the arrangements that Cleansing Temple had made, he even felt that the throne of first place was already calling for him .
Black Beibei glowered . He looked at the pill furnace in his hand and saw an extremely small crack running through it . He didn’t have to look further to know that this was essentially one of the best medium-grade pill furnaces . However, medium-grade was still medium-grade; it couldn’t be compared to a high-grade pill furnace . In addition, there wasn’t much of a difference in the alchemy skills of him and Zhao Jiutian . Unless he made some grave mistake, the chances of him winning were miniscule .
Luckily, in the next moment, the pill furnace that White Fengfeng chose flew out from the pill furnace . It was clear and bright, glowing with a dazzling radiance beneath the sun .
High-grade!
Black Beibei’s heart relaxed . He sneered and said, “What are you being so arrogant about? You’re not the only one who found a high-grade pill furnace from the ninth level . You still don’t know what the result will be!”
