Chapter 844: Cultivating Feelings (1/2)
Hearing Shen Qiu’s words, Chu Mu looked suspiciously at Old Soul Teacher De, and used soul remembrance to ask: “My mother has suffered a soul wound?”
“This is a long story. Her Majesty Dawn Supreme indeed suffered a very serious injury at a very crucial time.”
Chu Mu had been surprised before because Liu Binglan had reached the spirit emperor rank at the age of twenty. Adding on the enormous influence of Soul Palace, she should have surpassed the Sixteen Absolutes. It turned out that she had suffered a soul injury in the past.
“However, this shouldn’t affect her too much. Give her a bit of time and wait for her soul to heal, and she’ll be able to breakthrough. The reason why she went to the Barren Forbidden Region was probably to find a way to breakthrough.” said Old Soul Teacher De.
Chu Mu nodded his head. Presumably, Liu Binglan still had a lot of potential left as well as hidden cards.
At this moment, the competition neared the end.
The appraisal masters began to examine the spirit items concocted by the competitors.
This time, the level that had to be met was lower. One only needed to successfully concoct the spirit item set. The quality was only of a middle ranking. Those that could create a perfect quality could be counted with fingers.
A few of the seeded competitors were the last ones examined. As sounds of appraisal rang out, Chu Mu discovered that most people’s concoctions were at about the middle quality. There were extremely few upper quality rankings and not one perfect quality had appeared yet. This included those who had extracted 8 drops and above in the first round.
“Perfect quality. Yunhen Luyun!”
“Perfect quality, Zhu Zizhan!”
Finally, there were two people that broke the perfect rank barrier!
Towards the thunderous noise that surrounded them, neither Zhu Zizhan nor Luyun showed any expression. This accomplishment didn’t seem like anything special towards them.
“Perfect rank, Chu Qinzi!”
Immediately after, an appraisal master looked with a bit of shock as he recorded Ye Qingzi’s score!
This appraisal master remembered that this soul teacher should have consumed one third of her materials. Yet, she was still able to concoct a perfect rank item. This utilization of materials was practically godly!
At this moment, Zhu Zizhan creased his brows, and glanced at the spirit item on Ye Qingzi’s table. It really was a perfect rank quality spirit item.
“You’ve encountered an opponent.” Yang Qian glanced at Zhu Zizhan, who would always show his emotions and calmly spoke.
In Yang Qian’s opinion, first place would definitely be her’s. As for the other rankings, those would be fought over by the people next to her. Thus, Ye Qingzi who suddenly appeared, probably had the qualifications to contest for these rankings as well.
Zhu Zizhan also knew he didn’t have the qualifications to fight over first place with Yang Qian. However, he absolutely had to take second place!
“This Ye girl really has improved very quickly. I remember when she was in Tianxia City, her soul abilities could only be described as not bad. Now they’re outstanding.” said Old Soul Teacher De.
In Tianxia City, Ye Qingzi had often gone to act as Old Soul Teacher De’s assistant, learning a few soul abilities from him. However, four years later, her soul abilities were now very close to his. This was astonishing.
……
After the second round, even more people began to inquire about her.
Chu Mu didn’t want people to disturb her so he arranged for a few Soul Palace experts to guard Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng in the dark.
In the third round, Ye Qingzi was still outstanding. Having obtained outstanding rankings in the first three rounds, this meant that she was only excellent in certain areas. Instead, she was a strong competitor who could truly be gunning for first place.
In these circumstances, Zhu Zizhan, Luyun, and the others felt a bit of threat!
The third round’s attribute mixing concoction was extremely difficult and only 20 people passed this round.
The fourth round was the final round!
The spirit ability competition method for the fourth round was published earlier.
The competition authority provided every person with a complete concoction residence and gave them an enormous amount of resources. Afterwards, they told them to concoct a spirit item of the highest rank and quality to obtain first place in this competition!
The time limit was one month!
Concocting high rank spirit items required a long time. To a few high ranking soul teachers, one months was already rather short.
Of course, while concocting high rank spirit items, soul teachers could not spend the entire month completely behind closed doors. When the concoction reached a certain stage, they just had to sit and wait.
In order to prevent cheating, the competition authorities ordained that these soul teachers had to remain in the residences, and could not bring additional spirit item materials. Nor could they interact with other people outside of their assistants. Simultaneously, neither the soul teacher or the assistants could carry spatial rings.
In order to make things as public as possible, the competition authorities finally requested that all of the soul teachers to work at the very front so that the final concoction process could be publicized in the refining furnace in the plaza. Therefore, everyone in Soul City would be able to watch those who had refined the most outstanding spirit item.
The last part of the spirit item concoction process was to place it in the furnace. There were various attributes of furnaces, and the soul teachers could choose the furnace that fit them and complete this final stage in front of everyone!
After finishing, Soul Church’s three senior elder rank soul teachers would appraise the item. Finally, the Soul Teacher King, Yang Que, and the Medicine Desolation Zhu Chao would confer the honor and prize to the top three contestants!
Presumably, in the later stages of the concoction, everyone who was interested in soul abilities would gather in the plaza to personally witness the final showdown between soul abilities!
