Chapter 771: The Ingenious Decan Pill Enigma [1 In Chinese, this name is derived from puzzles often found in Chinese weiqi/japanese Go The stones are set on a weiqi board in a predetermined pattern, and it’s up to the player to deterroups of stars used in Ancient Egypt astronoroups of stars form clusters known as the 36 Calendar Animals There are four main clusters, with each cluster made up of nine deity animals The four clusters represent the cardinal directions, and each cluster is further divided into triads of ani Yu wasn’t sure where House Wei’s guest pill king co Chen more of the two co Chen had brought out Despite their average rank, they had all been incredibly pure, with a level of quality that couldn’t be found at the hands of an average pill master Moreover, all three pills had a unique personal style that Pill King Yu thought he’d encountered in the past He just wasn’t able to put his finger on it Be it the Tiger Eruption Pill, the Half-step Ion Pill, they all possessed the marks of a confident master’s hand These pills were quite extraordinary If he wasn’t a judge as ensuring theYu would’ve admitted that he liked Taiyuan Tower’s pills e had been able to as because its pills was of a higher rank To put it bluntly, they were just bullying the weak They were using eainst true saint rank or even saint rank pills Although they’d won the stage, their victory rang slightly hollow Moreover, everyone knehere the Longevity Pill ca Yu hie had the capability to refine the Longevity Pill It was likely the force who’d obtained the Longevity Pill’s pill recipe who had refined it They had probably only entrusted the Majestic Clan with selling the about the store refining their pills with their own hands A consigned batch of products was still within the rules Although Pill King Yu adainst his conscience and claievity Pill wasn’t comparable to the Half-step Ies wouldn’t do the sa out to Taiyuan Lodge with absolute confidence and fearlessness His fighting will surprised even Pill King Yu Regardless of the final outco some sympathy and admiration for House Wei After all, House Wei had proven theenuine talent and skill The fact that a ninth rank aristocratic family could resist the Majestic Clan this far was an incredible feat already With Pill King Yu’s intelligence, how could he not notice that the grudge between Taiyuan Lodge and Taiyuan Toas a ploy by the Majestic Clan to suppress House Wei?
Taiyuan Tower had sent their invitation to hie’s invitation had only reached hie was ai for Taiyuan Tower To put it bluntly, the Majestic Clan had affixed House Wei in its crosshairs froreat virtue and prestige Although he had seen ht of as right and rong as a pill king Even though his senti that he would unequivocally support House Wei, e towards their side He stared rather lance at Pill King Rong of the Majestic Clan Pill King Yu cleared his throat and spoke again, “The second stage of the first set is an ancient enigo To be honest, even after several hundred years of research, I have yet to crack all itsYu waved his hands “I have two scrolls here written with a set of materials each To be specific, 36 types of spirit herbs The contents of the scrolls are completely identical Your task is to use these 36 materials to brainstorm as many pill recipes as you can The more the better Whoever comes up with the most pill recipes wins the round You have one hour Remember, these spirit materials can be used infinitely If you’ve written it down in one pill recipe, you can use it again in another pill recipe”
Once he was finished, Pill King Yu shook his sleeves slightly and delivered the scrolls into Jiang Chen and Pill King Rong’s hands Pill King Rong looked excited It so happened that the pill recipe co he loved to research the most in his life was none other than the asse Chen revealed nothing on his face When he received the scroll, he looked through it and felt the shapes of all thirty six spirit herbs flashi+ng past his hly thirty spirit herbs He iured out the true identity of the ‘ancient enig Yu spoke of
It was indeed an ‘ancient enig Chen had seen this enig his era It possessed a very nice sounding nama’ It was called thus because this puzzle contained a total of thirty six spirit herbs, and they secretly corresponded to the thirty six calendar animals of the skies It also just so happened that these thirty six spirit materials could produce a total of thirty six pill recipes, not one more and not one less
It was impossible for the puzzle to contain even one more pill recipe But if the answer lacked even one pill recipe, the enigma was imperfect Countless pill dao seniors had spent who kne ether the ultieniuses wanted to crack Those who couldn’t solve it wanted to complete it even at the cost of their life As for those who knew the 36 solutions, they wanted to overturn the answer key and come up with a 37th pill formula with equal determination Unfortunately, no one had ever been able to come up with a thirty seventh recipe, despite the relentless efforts of countless pill dao ined that this Pill King Yu would know the Ingenious Decan Pill Enigma yet Had he only heard of its reputation or understood only part of it? Either way, it wasn’t Jiang Chen’s proble in a ma so well that he could write it down backwards He filled out all thirty six pill recipes of the puzzle in less than fifteen e To put it bluntly, it was just an interesting interlude of the pill industry It was just like scholars who challenged customers with rhymed couplets, or chess players who studied all kinds of ancient chess puzzles
“Are you done?” Pill King Yu was stunned when Jiang Chen suddenly stood up and turned in his paper He never thought that Jiang Chen would finish in just fifteen minutes’ time An entire hour had been allocated for the round, but House Wei’s pill king was turning in his answer already? Was this fellow just giving up? If that really was the case, then Pill King Yu would have to withdraw that bit about adinal i was favorable, but if he was a weak ave up so easily, then he would not a Chen’s scroll with a flash of disappoint Yu responded indifferently, “Please be seated and wait The allotted time isn’t up yet, and we cannot review your answer until then”
That was the proper rule Taiyuan Lodge’s Pill King Rong was still busy racking his brains on the other side Every onlooker were stunned when they saw Pill King Rong so deep in thought and Taiyuan Tower’s pill king sub on? Pill King Rong, the sixth rank pill king well known for his research in pill recipes was looking harried, but the unknown Pill King Zhen of Taiyuan Tower had turned in his answer in less than fifteen minutes? This scene puzzled and surprised people to no end
“I told you, didn’t I? This Pill King Zhen of Taiyuan Tower is definitely a spy sent to House Wei by the Majestic Clan He’s a trap!”
“Hah, I’ to believe you a little It does look like he’s fooled House Wei”
“Sigh, can he at least notover his victi in his answer in fifteen ain drawn the suspicion of onlookers at the scene After all, his behavior were just too unusual However, Jiang Chen returned to his own seat and looked completely unmoved by the comments tossed in his direction His consciousness would occasionally flit over to the judges In reality, he understood that he didn’t need to worry about foul play It was ie his scroll or aid Pill King Rong in cheating
The cal Rong beca a spy, but Pill King Rong knew that this Pill King Zhen of Taiyuan Tower certainly wasn’t a member of the Majestic Clan Since he wasn’t sent by the Majestic Clan to trap House Wei, there shouldn’t be any reason to give up just like that But if he hadn’t given up, then why did he turn in his answer so early? It couldn’t be that he had coh pill recipes to be assured of a complete victory? He refused to believe this There was simply no way a nameless small fry could possess such skill!
For awasn’t able to cal who picked up so, “Don’t panic That kidto disturb your mind so that you lose your concentration Don’t fall for his trap and just perforhtly ang Teng’s re a breath, he calma once more and studied it seriously
On the other side, Jiang Chen wasn’t looking at Pill King Rong at all He wasn’t even looking towards the opposite side Pill King Rong’s perforhtest No et a draith Jiang Chen was toto be a draw at best
But if his opponent hadhis head anxiously and furrowing his eyebrows in thought He should’ve turned in his answer a long ti Chen’s mindset was as firm as a mountain He’d known early on that this round was his already Meanwhile, House Wei was unsure as to what Jiang Chen was planning Thankfully, they had seen all sorts ofChen, so they didn’t try to interrupt hih they itched to do However, they weren’t able to hide their anxiety fro on their face
Finally, the hour passed Although Pill King Rong was feeling a little reluctant, he turned in his paper obediently He also shot a fierce glare at Jiang Chen in passing, as if it could increase hisChen s Rong like he atching an idiot preen
Now that both scrolls had been turned in, Pill King Yu was anxious to look at Jiang Chen’s answer He had been observing Jiang Chen since the beginning, and didn’t find any signs of the impatience he’d expected So why had he turned in his answers so early?
