Chapter 544: A Messier Situation

Noticing that her daughter was in a loss, Yan Qianling’s heart ached because this daughter was her husband’s sweetheart. Moreover, their daughter’s actions were for the good of the Water Ying Immortal City as well.

Yan Qianling hurried to add in, ”Husband, Wen Lianxi was not wrong because even if we were to let them represent us, it would be extremely hard for two Tier 5 Pill Kings to get into the top 300 let alone top 50 with the lack of restrictions now. I was wondering why don’t we let Big Brother Tan Liang represent the Water Ying Immortal City? Since we are going to fail, why should we give this opportunity to outsiders? At the very most, we would leave the Water Ying Immortal City immediately after the competition.”

Wen Lianxi regained her composure and said, ”Father, I think mother is right because there is no need for us to curry favour with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance since we have already offended them. It would at least be a good experience for Uncle Tan to participate in this competition.”

Tan Liang sighed, ”I have no objections to this. If I were to participate in the competition with the previous rules in place, I will still have a slight chance but I am certain that I would not have any chances now.”

After remaining silent for quite some time, Wen Hou finally spoke, ”Lianxi and your mother are right. Brother Tan, you and I are like true brothers so you shall represent us in the competition this time round. In the event that we lost, we shall leave immediately. I believe there would be some time before the Water Ying Immortal City turned into a subsidiary city so we should be fine as long as we leave before that happens.

Everyone fell silent because everyone including Wen Lianxi knew that Wen Hou’s words were to comfort them only. After the competition ended, those who left the city would be dealt more severely if they were caught.

Only after a while, Tan Liang answered, ”Alright, we would at most leave together. I will also take a look if I have any chance of entering the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance if all else fails.”

Wen Lianxi felt extremely horrible at the sight of her father and mother’s dejected looks. She recalled Mo Wuji’s guarantee and was hesitant as to whether or not she should let her parents know. However, she was fearful that after she said that and if Mo Wuji failed, it would only make them even more disappointed.

”Lianxi, are you still hiding something from us?” Wen Lianxi’s mother, Yan Qianling knew her own daughter extremely well so she could tell that Wen Lianxi appeared as if she still had something to say.

Even Wen Hou could tell so he chuckled, ”Lianxi, things couldn’t get any worse so just speak your mind freely. No matter what happens, our family will never be split apart. I, Wen Hou, had been in the Immortal World for so many years so what have I not encountered before?”

Wen Lianxi agreed so she replied, ”The pill refiner who I invited told me that he was 70% certain…”

Hearing Wen Lianxi’s words, even Tan Liang didn’t look too pleasant. 70%? After the changes of the rules, even a Tier 6 Pill King would not dare to be 70% certain of earning a slot so could he be a Pill Emperor?

”Lianxi, please don’t tell me you’re cheated,” Yan Qianling furrowed her brows.

Wen Lianxi hurried to say, ”No, it was the pill refiner whom I met at the Corner of Yong Ying and even Uncle Tan praised him. Who knew that I would meet him at the Yong Ying Immortal City.”

”Its him?” Tan Liang’s expression looked slightly better as he simply sighed, ”Before the changes to the rules, he would definitely be 70% certain of getting a slot no, should be 90%. However, after the rules change, even Pill Emperors would be participating, sigh…”

Wen Hou also got excited as he hurried to ask, ”Brother Tan, previously, you felt that the essence he extracted was 100% pure and normally, pill competitions require competitors to purify immortal herbs.”

Tan Liang nodded, ”I dare to guarantee that in time to come, this pill refiner would be a Pill Emperor. Only an unbelievable genius would be able to purify a herb to 100% purity because even a Tier 6 Pill King might not be able to do so. The pity was that before he could fully reach his potential, the rules had to change now. My guess is that even the person who came in 50th would be at least a Tier 6 Pill King. In a competition of such high standards, even if they were required to purify herbs, it would be immortal herbs which are Tier 4 and above. The difficulty of purifying such herbs would definitely be incomparable to lower grade herbs…”

As he said this, Tan Liang paused as he looked at Wen Lianxi before saying. ”Lianxi, whether we succeed or fail, you have to introduce him to me after the competition. This person has limitless potential and would definitely be someone who many will look upon in the near future.”

Yan Qianling suddenly thought of something as she looked at her husband, ”Husband, what do you think about letting Lianxi and that Mo Wuji fella get married?”

Wen Hou’s eyes lit up because he trusted Tan Liang’s judgement and since Tan Liang said that his potential is limitless, it would definitely be limitless. The moment the Wen Clan has a Pill Emperor as a son-in-law, who would dare touch them? Even Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun wouldn’t dare to touch his Wen Clan as he wished. As for Wen Lianxi, the couple was very confident because she was gentle, knowledgeable and was the Water Ying Immortal City’s number one beauty.

”Mother, what are you talking about? I have only met him twice,” Wen Lianxi’s entire face blushed.

…

Following Mo Wuji’s closed doors cultivation, the originally crowded Yong Ying Immortal City transformed into an even messier situation. The main reason was because of the new changes to the rules which allowed every pill refiner to enter compared to the previous rule which only Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s pill refiners who were below the age of 500 could join.

The reason why pill refiners took so long to progress was because pill refining had always been tough. A good pill refiner would have went through tens and hundreds of years of hardwork to gain the experience and knowledge. One could imagine how many incredible pill refiners would come forward to join as soon as this new rule was implemented.

This was especially so for pill refiners stuck in the world of cultivation solely for the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley.
