Chapter 480: Too Impressive (2/2)
The woman, who was sitting by the side, had also stood up. She bowed towards Tan Liang.
After hurriedly returning the courtesies, Tan Liang sighed and said, ”Brother Wen, in this coming competition, there’s as many competitors as there are hairs on a cow, and several big immortal cities have sent out top grade pill kings to compete for them. I’m merely a Tier 4 Pill King; I’m afraid that my abilities might not make the cut, and I may hinder Brother Wen’s plans.”
Wen Hou sighed, ”How can I not know of what Brother Tan is saying? However, I don’t have any other options. Among the people I know, Brother Tan is the best when it comes to the Pill Dao. If Brother Tan is also unable to help me, then it would simply mean that I’m never meant to get that fortune.”
Tan Liang nodded; he understood the meaning behind Wen Hou’s words. Indeed, he had come here to help Wen Hou on account of their friendship. In reality, as a Tier 4 Pill King, he would be an esteemed guest no matter which immortal city he went to.
”Brother Hou, in this alchemy competition, we will not only be competing in pills, but drugs as well. I would need two able drug assistants. Otherwise, the chances of me winning would be lower.” Tan Liang spared the courtesies; Wen Hou and him had been friends for hundreds of years, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Wen Hou hurriedly said, ”Follow me to the alchemy lab then Brother Tan. Even though I don’t have any exceptional pill refiners here, I do have some pill refiners that can also refine drugs. I will have them refine drugs, then Brother Tan can make your choice.”
”Alright.” Tan Liang wasn’t courteous. Right from the start, he was here to help Wen Hou. Even though Wen Hou didn’t treat him badly, but as a Tier 4 Pill King, no one would treat him badly regardless of what immortal city he went to.
…
Even though Water Ying Immortal City was a low grade immortal city, its alchemy lab was grand and luxurious. There were imposing rows of earth fire furnaces and the immortal spiritual energy here was rich. To concoct pills here, even those who were weaker would be able to have higher success rates.
Ten pill refiners were in the alchemy lab concocting pills. Even though the highest grade pill refiner here was a mere Tier 3 Pill Monarch, they all had a pretty maidservant by their sides. These maidservants were awaiting orders; as long as these pill monarchs instructed, they would immediately attend to the task.
Seeing Wen Hou and Tan Liang enter, all the pill refiners stood up. Wen Hou waved his hands and said, ”Everyone, continue with your pill refinement, there’s no need to care about us. If your pill refinement or drug refinement catches Pill King Tan’s eyes, you would have the opportunity to represent our Water Ying Immortal City for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition.”
After hearing the castellan’s words, all the pill refiners went excited. Who didn’t know of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition? Moreover, they were pill refiners.
Being able to represent Water Ying Immortal City in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition was not only a peerless honour, it was also an invaluable opportunity. Even if they didn’t win anything, being able to watch great pill kings concoct pills was something that they would rarely get in their lifetimes.
If they would be able to get ranked, then the reward would be the greatest fortune that they had in their entire lives.
Thus, after Wen Hou uttered those words, all the pill refiners here started to place their full concentrations in their pill refinement. Almost every single pill refiner was concocting their best pills.
Tan Liang’s gaze swept from the first pill refiner to the last pill refiner; it was hard to conceal the disappointment in his eyes. Even though some of these people were able to concoct Tier 3 immortal pills, there were still lacking if they wanted to participate in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition.
When Wen Hou saw the disappointment in Tan Liang’s eyes, he was also filled with helplessness. There were truly too little pill refiners, and the impressive pill refiners weren’t willing to stay in a place like Water Ying Immortal City.
”Eh!” Tan Liang suddenly exclaimed softly.
By Tan Liang’s side, Wen Hou immediately rejoiced. Just when he was about to ask Tan Liang which pill refiner caught his eye, he saw Tan Liang walk quickly to the corner of the alchemy lab. Then, he saw Tan Liang pick up a pill furnace.
Even Wen Hou could tell that Tan Liang had merely picked up a Grade 1 immortal pill furnace. The value of this pill furnace was extremely low. Even though it was also in the alchemy lab, no pill refiner was willing to use this low grade pill furnace.
”Impressive, too impressive… He was actually able to refine a 100% purity medicinal solution. Too strong, too strong…” As Tan Liang grabbed this Grade 1 immortal pill furnace, he continuously muttered to himself. The excitement in his eyes couldn’t be concealed; even he was unable to purify a Tier 9 spiritual herb and refine a 100% purity medicinal solution.
