Chapter 1061: The Pills Are Completed
In the square, everyone’s eyes were shining with unusual lusters. Especially those who were looking at Ou Yangming, there was an indescribable look in their eyes.
Ou Yangming’s value was shown through this. It might be a little exaggerated to say that he was priceless, but he was certainly valuable.
In fact, Ou Yangming had his considerations in doing so as he wanted to show his potential and pick a side. Indeed, he had succeeded, and he was labeled as a part of the Peacemaking Sect at this time.
A cool breeze swept past the terrace. Ou Yangming felt the vigorous vitality emitted by the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, and his right hand clapped in the air.
With that, a clatter was heard coming from his interspatial bag, and a white light spread out. A verdant spiritual herb flowed into the pill furnace like a green light. The whole process was completed in a single breath. It was smooth and wonderful.
1, 2, 3!
Seeing the worry in Lil’ Red’s eyes, Big Yellow patted that goshawk’s shoulder on purpose and chuckled as he said, “Goshawk, don’t worry. I don’t know how good Lil’ Ming’s alchemy skills are, but I’ve followed him to so many places and encountered so many things. He never does things that he’s not confident about.”
“I’m not worried.” The goshawk glared at him.
Nonetheless, when he spotted Lil’ Red, who was standing on the king kong’s shoulder, he realized what was going on and secretly gave a thumbs up to Big Yellow.
When Lil’ Red heard this, the worry in his eyes also lessened a little.
He smiled and glanced at Big Yellow, who felt uncomfortable instead. The big yellow dog only felt a chill from his head from his heels. The hair on his body stood on end, and he subconsciously shrank his neck as he mumbled, “What do you want to do? I said it for your own good.”
Lil’ Red’s smile became even brighter. He responded, “In view of Big Yellow’s perfect performance this time, I’ve decided to stand on his shoulder for a day.” After saying that, he deliberately winked and added, “This is a special honor, the kind that can glorify your ancestors.”
“No!” Big Yellow’s face turned bitter.
The Dragons and the Phoenixes were races that kept their word. If they said they would stand, they would definitely not sit.
As such, Lil’ Red flapped its wings and flew onto Big Yellow’s shoulder.
The king kong’s eyes revealed a look of relief. He looked at Big Yellow with sympathy but that was all as he could not care less if anything would happen to him.
It was strange to say that the cultivation bases of the 3 beasts were not inferior to that of Lil’ Red, but they were instinctively fearful of him whenever they saw him.
This was especially so for Big Yellow, who possessed the Small Dragon’s World and had unlimited potential.
Nevertheless, this small interlude did not affect the pill competition.
On the terrace, many spiritual herbs entered the pill furnace in a certain order, releasing a vast mist amidst the white light.
When the essences within these spiritual herbs were all refined, notable vitality spread out from the pill furnace.
“It’s about time.” Ou Yangming’s eyes flashed with a bright light. The white light from his interspatial bag had reached its limit, and rich Phoenix Fire Bamboo with great vitality appeared in his palm. He made a gesture with both hands and pushed them out at the same time. As a result, the Phoenix Fire Bamboo turned into green light spots and fused into the pill furnace.
“Is that… Is that a Phoenix Fire Bamboo?” Feng Xiang and Feng Yun exclaimed at the same time. The 2 phoenix powerhouses were extremely shocked.
This was especially so for Feng Xiang. He had been reading collected Daoist scriptures since he was young and knew very well how precious the Phoenix Fire Bamboo was. There were only a few of them in the entire Great Wide World.
It was the main ingredient for refining the Eternal Pill. Among the Phoenixes, even Feng Mu did not build a nest on a Wutong Tree. It was not that he was not strong enough, but he just could not find one. Only by successfully building a nest could he truly be reborn from the flames.
Feng Xiang and Feng Yun did not intentionally suppress their voices, hence they spread out in all directions.
The eyes of all the phoenix phoenixes were filled with fanaticism. This was the case for even those from the Main Combat Sect.
This was because the Eternal Pill was a legendary existence in the Great Wide World, and it had an incredibly special meaning to them.
“Really? Is that really a Phoenix Fire Bamboo?” A phoenix powerhouse took a deep breath, his face filled with disbelief.
“Yes, even a Ruler has confirmed it, so it should be true,” the powerhouse next to him said.
Due to the appearance of the Phoenix Fire Bamboo, the competition this time felt different.
Feng Xinxiao’s eyes revealed a look of contemplation. His face was indescribably calm, but the killing intent in his heart was strong.
This was the difference between Feng Xinxiao and Feng Tian. When Feng Tian saw a genius, his first thought would be to rope that person in. On the contrary, Feng Xinxiao would only think about destroying that person. The breadth of mind of the two could not be compared.
A majestic life force spread out from the pill furnace. Ou Yangming was enveloped with mists within 10 meters from him.
All of a sudden, he pressed his right hand fiercely against the pill furnace.
Immediately, spiritual liquid continued to compress, and a strong suction force burst out from the center of the furnace.
The pill furnace seemed to have turned into a deep vortex, condensing all the essences from the spiritual herbs into the center.
Ou Yangming sat upright. His eyes focused, and a powerful aura burst out. He shouted in a muffled voice, “Condense!”
Before his voice could fade away, he pressed his hands together. The essences of the herbs slowly gathered, emitting a warm glow. If anyone could see what was happening in the pill furnace, they would be horrified to discover that after the essences flickered twice, they transformed into pills with a regular shape.
Feng Juelian’s expression changed drastically, and he roared internally, ‘Damn it, how could he be so fast?’
At this moment, he also felt the helplessness Feng Duxin felt when he faced Ou Yangming. Fast—the young fellow was simply faster than usual.
It would be fine if that was all. However, not only was Ou Yangming fast, but the quality of his refinement was also notable. He had completely suppressed his opponents from production to quality. Honestly, how could anyone else live?
In particular, when Feng Juelian’s mental power reached into the pill furnace and saw the essences of the herbs, a faint sense of despair rose in his heart.
After continuously inhaling 2 mouthfuls of spiritual Qi, he suppressed the thoughts in his mind. He thought to himself, ‘He’s just fast. If I take it slow and steadily unleash the medicinal effects of each spiritual herb to the extreme, I still have a chance to win.’
He knew if Ou Yangming had truly refined the Eternal Pill, he would lose without a doubt.
Even so, he still held on to a bit of hope.
Ou Yangming became more solemn. The 2 most crucial steps of pill refinement and pill condensation had been done, but he still needed to open the furnace. This step was also the most important step to raise the quality of the pill. This was his first time refining the Eternal Pill on his own, so he would surely give it his all.
With a flash of thought, he entered the states of the thoroughly meticulous and the connection between Heaven and man.
His fingers began to move rhythmically, drawing out countless beautiful arcs. They became faster like rain falling on banana leaves, almost connecting into one.
This method of opening a furnace used to be a secret of the Secret Stars Sect but now, Ou Yangming had grasped it.
For a moment, the powerhouses present had a misconception that this was not alchemy, but a kind of art, and they were all addicted to it.
Finally, Ou Yangming raised an eyebrow. He bent his finger then lifted it.
With that, the lid of the furnace flew out with a loud bang.
A gentle white light was released from the furnace. It was mixed with a rich life force and instantly filled the terrace.
The life force was so intense that it was unimaginable.
Even a Ruler’s life force seemed to have improved after taking a breath of it.
This was because this was the Eternal Pill. It had the power to regenerate flesh and blood, and it could restore life force.
Within the white light, Ou Yangming transformed his spiritual power into a saber. He drew in the air with his finger, and his strokes were majestic and soul-stirring. He carved 2 small words on the pill—Alchemy Saint. This casual action had become his habit. Whenever he refined pills, he had to carve these 2 words. It was the same when he was in the Big Ruins, and it was still the same at this moment.
All the phoenix powerhouses stared at Ou Yangming with burning eyes. There was only one thought in their minds, ‘It’s the Eternal Pill!’
Under the sunlight, Ou Yangming seemed to carry an intoxicating temperament. He seemed to be peerless in his generation, causing people to be mesmerized.
Feng Juelian smiled bitterly and thought to himself, ‘I’m really not resigned to losing so easily.’ Since Ou Yangming had refined the Eternal Pill, he had no chance of winning.
Despite that, he did not stop. Instead, he was more focused and cleared his mind
Feng Xiang raised his head slightly. His eyes were full of surprise and joy. He thought to himself, ‘We’ve won.’ From the moment the Eternal Pill was refined, he knew that the Peacemaking Sect had won this round as well.
He looked at Ou Yangming and took a deep breath. ‘Just how much more skill do you have up your sleeves? Don’t tell me that you really know how to use formations too…’ His eyes shone with a scorching light that seemed to be able to melt ice.
Big Yellow grinned, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth. “See, I told you there’s no need to worry. I’ve followed Lil’ Ming for so long, but I’ve never seen him fight a battle that he wasn’t confident in.”
Lil’ Red’s gaze shifted, and he also smiled.
“Woosh, woosh…” Feng Juelian made a gesture with his hands and pushed them outward at the same time. In an instant, the 10-meters-tall furnace shook, giving off a muffled sound. Following that, the furnace lid flew up, and a faint fragrance could be picked up by the crowd.
The pill had been completed, but he had lost. This was because Ou Yangming had refined the Eternal Pill, which only existed in legends.
Feng Xiao walked to the center of the arena. His neck slightly shrank, and he had been focusing on Feng Xinxiao.
He clenched his teeth and mustered up his courage to say, “For pill refinement, the Peacemaking Sect wins.” Deep down, he was shouting, ‘I’m dead, I’m dead. I’ve offended both sides this time. How will I be able to stand firm among the Phoenixes in the future?
‘Seriously… If the heavens give me a second chance, I won’t be standing here even if I’d be beaten to death.
‘Being caught between both sides is truly a disaster!’
Feng Xinxiao was caught in a war against himself. In the end, in order to save the last bit of image that he had, he expressed softly, “We admit defeat for the next 2 rounds.” He was truly afraid. Who knew how Ou Yangming’s attainments in formations were? If he displayed outstanding potential again, things would be difficult.
Things were also very difficult at the moment, but there was at least some room for him to tactfully admit defeat.
At this moment, he was at a loss. ‘How… How could this young fella know so much? This is illogical. This is against common sense!’
Everyone felt that it was illogical, but this was the truth.
Feng Xinxiao waved his hand, and the Main Combat Sect left dejectedly.
