Chapter 78 - The Alchemy Assessment, Talents Displayed for the First Time (4) (1/2)

Inside the hall, all the small sects were chatting, full of envy and awe. Yet Xuanqing, Mingsha, and the three elderly Xuan seemed all deeply worried. The Luoyun Valley was too powerful now, so maybe life would be harder for them in the future.

“Haha, my disciple brother is really good at teaching. This girl can make a Dragon and Tiger Pill, what a great heir of yours.” The Qingyun Taoist laughed and looked at the restriction where Ji Yuewu was at with satisfaction. Why would someone worry about the revival of the sect when he got such a great disciple like that?

Hearing that, the Alchemy Taoist was a little bit shocked and said with a bitter smile, “Don’t mock me, senior brother. Since Yuewu became a disciple of our sect, I have been staying behind closed doors and focusing on reaching the Gold Core stage. So I barely taught her anything, nothing at all, in fact.” However, his eyes were full of surprise and gratification. Every cultivator dreamed of getting their achievements inherited, so did the Alchemy Taoist. Besides, he had devoted his entire life to the alchemy that the continuation was even more important for him. Therefore he was definitely very satisfied with having such a great disciple.

“Formulate!”

Rang the cold voice of Ji Yuewu, and shades of dragon and tiger gradually became clearer within the cloud above her head. There was a mini-sized spirit dragon covered with blue scales rolling up and down while puffing in the smoke. It was a few inches long with two horns on the head and 5 feet under the belly. While under the dragon, there was a fierce white tiger with a pair of wings on its back and a clear “king (王)” character in the middle of its eyebrows, roaring up and down as well.

“Back!”

Another spell came over and both the dragon and the tiger roared to the sky, then they rushed down directly. The cloud and smoke around them vanished gradually. When the mysterious scene disappeared completely, a white shade flashed through the restriction spell. It was a pale Ji Yuewu who walked out of it.

“Here is the Dragon and Tiger Pill, Master.”

There she opened her tender hands. A striped pill as big as a walnut was in her hand, and voices of dragon and tiger were coming out from it, which made it seem truly extraordinary.

“Alright. The stripes are natural and I can hear the roars of dragon and tiger. It has some impurities but still worthy as an inferior third-grade pill. Great, great, great!” The Alchemy Taoist stood up, lifted Ji Yuewu with his spiritual power and looked at her with great satisfaction.

“Congratulations, my Taoist friend, Alchemy Taoist. You have such a wonderful disciple and there is no need to worry about the prosperity of the Luoyun Valley.” Xuanqing blinked and sounded a bit strange.

Yet Mingsha from the Black Evil Sect was in a gloomy face and his eyes turned to be quite worrisome.

As for the three Xuan elders, they felt quite uncomfortable as so far the Luoyun Valley had already surpassed the Flaming Sect with its two Gold Cores, plus those excellent disciples in the younger generation, so it could be really hard for the Flaming Sect in the future.

“Congratulations to the Alchemy Taoist for having such a great disciple!” Those masters in all sects were congratulating them with their disciples.

“Ho ho, thanks, everyone!” The Alchemy Taoist arched his hands and ignored the envy from Xuanqing and the others. He wouldn’t feel better if he was in their position.

Now five out of the six people who participated in the alchemy assessment had made their pills successfully and earned great fame for the Luoyun Valley. However, all of them were focusing on the last restriction spell and they all looked quite weird. Given that Shiao Chen was refining the superior third-grade Life-prolonging Pill, those people couldn’t even help to show their sarcastic faces.

What an arrogant and reckless kid!

“Today we came here to attend the Core Formation Ceremony of the Alchemy Taoist and witnessed the alchemy of your 5 disciples which was indeed awesome. I wonder when the sect competition will start as we shall not waste our time here despite the extra lifetime we’ve got as cultivators.” A master from a small sect spoke after he blinked and nodded to Duan Huaming.

He was looking at the last restriction spell while speaking and his eyes were full of mockery, so it was obvious that he was hinting on somebody.

“Exactly, please announce the beginning of the sect competition, Alchemy Taoist. It is just a waste of time for me to wait for this kid refining a Life-prolonging Pill.”

“This kid is just so arrogant and reckless, why are you still keeping him instead of kicking him out of the sect?”

“That’s right, we all don’t want to wait any time longer, please kick him out.”

There were so many cultivators in this hall that didn’t like Shiao Chen and they were all complaining and looked at the restriction spell where Shiao Chen was in with more mockery on their face.

“Well…” The Alchemy Taoist was quite hesitant.
