Chapter 544: A Messier Situation (2/2)

When the new rule was implemented, the fight for the slots to participate for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was comparatively more reserved. After all, the Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance just needed to visit the lower grade Immortal Cities and the castellans of these cities would welcome them with both slots readied for them. All they needed to do was to represent these cities in the competition.

Till the end when the participation slots were getting lesser, even Pill Kings had to fight among themselves for a chance to participate in this competition. Even if all of them were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, they were ruthless to each other when fighting for their slots.

Geng Ji and Di Baisheng, who both left the Water Ying Immortal City’s castellan’s residence angrily, had no choice but to find him again. Even if they didn’t have both slots, one slot would suffice.

”Wen Hou greets both Pill Kings,” Wen Hou’s family welcomed both Pill Kings back to their living room and if Wen Hou was anxious to not these two leave previously, he was hoping that these two didn’t visit him once again.

Geng Ji nodded his head and asked faintly, ”Castellan Wen, have you found that slot?”

”Ah, I couldn’t find it,” Wen Hou sighed sincerely. The reason why he sighed was not because of the loss of the slot but was because these two were here again.

Geng Ji furrowed his brows and said, ”Since this is the case, why don’t you just hand us the remaining slot? Don’t worry because both Baisheng and I are Tier 5 Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance so we would definitely do our best to produce the best results.”

Wen Hou started to feel embarrassed because even if Tan Liang was his friend, he shouldn’t keep changing his decision and treat him like a disposable as when he wished.

Wen Lianxi, who was standing by the side, ”Lianxi greets both Pill Kings. My father was enraged at me for being foolish to give someone else the slots and for causing both of you to not have a slot to represent us. Therefore, he had given up on this alchemy competition and simply gave the remaining slot to someone else.”

Geng Ji was furious as he really didn’t expect Wen Hou to be so daring. If Wen Hou hadn’t offended them previously, he certainly did now.

”Very well, then I hope your Water Ying Immortal City would find an expert to get a good result,” Geng Ji couldn’t even be bothered to take a seat as he simply left with Di Baisheng.

Wen Hou sighed once more, ”What is destined to happen will happen and since something like this is cursed to happen to our Wen Clan, we wouldn’t be able to avoid it anyway.”

…

The Yong Ying Immortal City was filled with hustle and bustle and the few months long fight for participation slots finally came to an end.

Furthermore, the Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Grand Alchemy Competition had drawn its curtain.

Mo Wuji was called out by Lin Gu and he had already refined 30% of the first page of the Book of Luo.

Mo Wuji couldn’t help but to sigh at the worthlessness of time because he had already been behind closed doors for over a year.

”Thank you, Lin Gu,” Even if Mo Wuji had already greeted Lin Gu previously, he still felt the need to thank her. This alchemy competition was the most important event to him now so he would never be able to forgive himself if he missed it.

Lin Gu smiled, ”For the competition this time round, I’ve even seen Immortal Emperors experts here. Two of your Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s Pill Emperors were also here and even the Vice Alliance Head of your Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was seen in the Yong Ying Immortal City.”

”Let’s go, let’s head towards the competition venue. Even though I am from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, I have no idea who the Vice Alliance Head was and I only knew Pill Emperor Nong Yong. I wonder if he is here today,” Mo Wuji said while packing his clothes.

”He isn’t here yet as it seems. One of the Pill Emperor is called Gong Yangxue and the other one is called Heng Jun. Both of them seemed to be representing two different immortal cities,” Lin Gu continued to explain while Mo Wuji packed.

Mo Wuji was full of regrets because he joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance not because he liked it a lot but because he needed to find a place to protect himself.

He had yet to meet the important figures of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance as well as the President of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Branch. Mo Wuji had only met Nong Yong and if Pill Emperor Nong Yong was here, he was intending to thank him properly. Now that Nong Yong wasn’t here, he could only regret.

…

The venue for the alchemy competition this time round was the biggest open roof plaza in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain.

Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s largest plaza would naturally be the Yong Ying Immortal Plaza. Even if millions of people were to gather here in the Yong Ying Immortal Plaza, it wouldn’t appear clustered and was even slightly spacious for everyone here.
