Grasping the Evil No Chapter 460: A Slap In The Face

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: A Slap In The Face

"What?! This is!"

All eyes gravitated towards the jade platform. On the center of the platform, a bald old monk who was as thin as a twig was standing below the Pill Stele.

He stood silently in the wind and snow by his loneso. His presence giving off the natural deanor of a grandmaster.

He sighed heavily. That sigh felt quite aged, bringing out heavy feelings like the vicissitudes of life that he experienced.

He placed his hands on the Pill Stele. The upright stone slab then began to give out light of four different colors. The light continued to intensify and rose as high as it could. When it reached the highest scale of the fourth color which represented the Peak Fourth Revolution, it ca to a sudden halt. It was already at the maximum limit the Pill Stele could test.

At this mont, the Pill Tablet lightly trembled. Above the snowy sky, five-colored clouds suddenly erged.

All of a sudden, countless exclamations resounded across the atmosphere.

"The five-colored clouds! The Pill Stele from the Pill Island could only test up to the Fourth Revolution of pill refinent mastery. If a Fifth Revolution Pill Master takes the test, five-colored clouds will appear. It’s because the Pill Stele could not asure Fifth Revolution pill refinent mastery! This man is no doubt a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!"

"What?! A Fifth Revolution Pill Master?! In the Rain World’s eight hundred cultivation countries, there are only several Fifth Revolution Pill Masters. All of them are famous individuals who are known far and wide. Who is this man? Why does he look so unfamiliar...?"

"It’s him! The forr sect master of the Heavenly Jade Sect, Yi Yunzi! He has High Grade Fifth Revolution pill refinent mastery. This man had gone missing for many years. Unexpectedly, he ca to participate in the Pill Ceremony!"

"Huh? Are you saying that this man is Yi Yunzi? But I saw him when I was visiting the Zhou Clan as a guest several hundred years ago."

"The Zhou Clan? Could this person have already joined the Zhou Clan?"

Countless cultivators were guessing and discussing among themselves. After Yi Yunzi revealed his identity, the experts of the Giant Devil Clan imdiately welcod him and led him to the seats for honored guests. Many pill refinent masters also rose from their seats and greeted him.

Yi Yunzi’s eyes were as calm as the old leaves of an ancient vine. None of the pill refinent masters in the area could draw his attention.

Only when his eyes scanned past the great elder of the Pill Island and the sect master of the Scarlet Heaven Palace did his expression look slightly different.

His eyes suddenly beca as bright as a torch. The pill refinent mastery of the great elder of the Pill Island, Huang Tingzi, should be almost on par with his.

As for the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Mo Xiu, his pill refinent mastery was slightly above Yi Yunzi’s level!

When Yi Yunzi took his seat on the seatings designated for honored guests, Mo Xiu’s expression turned stern all of a sudden. He sent a ssage to Yi Yunzi through telepathy.

"Yi Yunzi, you weren’t better than

in the past. Even though you have beco a feudal ranking elder of the Zhou Clan, you still won’t surpass !"

"Perhaps... Even though you are stronger than , you are just a tiny bit better."

No one knew that Mo Xiu had taunted Yi Yunzi.

The uproar gradually dissipated. The first round continued to proceed in good order.

Each of the Third Revolution Pill Masters passed the first round.

There were also many Fourth Revolution Pill Masters who managed to cut a conspicuous figure in front of countless cultivators.

Six pill refinent masters from the Scarlet Heaven Palace were joining the Pill Ceremony. Other than their palace lord, Mo Xiu who was already a well-known High Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master, the remaining five of them had yet to attain the Fifth Revolution and were all required to take the test.

The five pill refinent masters of the Scarlet Heaven Palace had once encountered Ning Fan before this. All of them had an egg on their faces and were almost killed by Ning Fan’s claw attack.

Although their combat power was weak, their pill refinent techniques were quite the opposite.

Four of them had achieved High Grade Fourth Revolution pill refinent mastery while the other had attained the Peak Fourth Revolution!

Five Fourth Revolution Pill Masters appeared on the platform at the sa ti which instantly stirred up a commotion among the crowd.

"These five individuals truly deserve to be the special pill refinent masters of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. Each of their pill refinent mastery is enough to be universally shocking."

"Being a Fourth Revolution Pill Master is enough to make you a person of importance to a country. The pill refinent mastery of these five individuals are at least of the High Grade Fourth Revolution and one of them is even just a hair’s breadth away from the Fifth Revolution. The Scarlet Heaven Palace really has a well-deserved reputation of being one of the ’Nine Palaces’ of the Rain Palace. It successively gave birth to geniuses. Not only does the palace lord have an extrely profound pill refinent mastery, but his subordinates also have outstanding pill refinent realms!"

The cheers and exclamations from the crowd were obviously extrely pleasing to the five pill refinent masters of the Scarlet Heaven Palace.

Of the five, the elderly man with the highest pill refinent realm was Chi Lao. He felt extrely pleased with the flattering response of the crowd in particular.

The pent-up frustration he had bottled up after being embarrassed by Ning Fan in the past was completely swept away at this mont.

His old eyes looked at the surroundings, deliberately questioning Elder Fu Bai who was hosting the test.

"I’ve heard that Revered Ming is also participating in the Pill Ceremony. Why hasn’t he arrived yet?"

"Perhaps sothing has delayed him while he was on his way. He will probably arrive in a short while." Fu Bai politely answered. Even though he was the great elder of the Giant Devil Clan, he still had to be courteous when dealing with a Peak Grade Fourth Revolution Pill Refinent Master.

"Is that so...? Hehe. I really look forward to what kind of result Revered Ming will get. The recent hot rumors said that Revered Ming has beco the half disciple of the Pill Sovereign. With that kind of identity, he would have to at least be a Fourth Revolution Pill Master, right? However, I think Revered Ming is a cultivator who goes through grueling cultivation. He is incredibly strong and even has powerful techniques. His pill refinent mastery, however, might not necessarily be strong. It is known to all that pill refinent mastery can only be gained through refining pills. It isn’t sothing that one can obtain from killing people."

Chi Lao’s words fell into the ears of countless cultivators under the enhancent of his magic power.

Every one of those cultivators had no idea about the grudges Chi Lao had against Ning Fan. Hence, they found what he said rather reasonable.

Well, it was true that the Pill Sovereign had personally acknowledged that Ning Fan was half a disciple to him. Ning Fan had to at least have Fourth Revolution pill refinent realm so that he would not tarnish the Pill Sovereign’s na.

However, Ning Fan was a notorious devil lord who slaughters everywhere all day. How could he have the ti and peace to research pill refinent.

Most of the people agreed with Chi Lao’s perspective, thinking that there was no way Ning Fan could have profound pill refinent mastery. They even thought that it was possible for him not to have achieved the Fourth Revolution.

In addition to that, when they saw that Ning Fan had yet to arrive after the Pill Ceremony had started for so ti already, they began to wonder whether or not he was afraid of embarrassing himself as he would be disqualified without Third Revolution pill refinent mastery.

Each of the old monsters seed to have understood what Chi Lao was hinting at. More and more people began to have this kind of thoughts.

Chi Lao’s eyes flashed with a hint of pleasure.

He could not win against Ning Fan in a real fight but it was rather fun to tarnish his reputation and harass the Great Heaven Palace behind their backs.

When it cos to killing, Chi Lao and the other four pill refinent masters together would still be unable to rival one Ning Fan.

In terms of pill refinent, however, Chi Lao was very confident that he could completely overwhelm him.

The fact that Ning Fan had heaven-defying strength while being only five hundred years old was already unacceptable to him.

If Ning Fan was also well-versed in pill refinent, it would be too unreasonable.

"It’s naturally impossible for that Zhou Ming to have Fourth Revolution pill refinent mastery. He probably isn’t even at the Third Revolution. I really don’t understand why a significant figure like the Pill Sovereign would keep soone with such a weak pill refinent mastery as a disciple... It really makes

jealous!"

Chi Lao’s heart was filled with envy and disdain towards Ning Fan.

When he was about to go down from the platform with the other four pill refinent masters after completing the test, they were suddenly stopped by two shadows.

One of them was the divine son of the Profound Heaven Palace, Yun Niansu.

The other person was the feudal ranking elder of Pill Island, Yang Gu.

Yun Niansu was a refined gentleman. The way he looked at Chi Lao was filled with mild contempt.

He had previously t Ning Fan on Gusu Island and was aware of his terrifying strength.

He was a mber of the Profound Heaven Palace and the foster son of the Third Prince of the Rain Palace, Yun Bushu. The Profound Heaven Palace was the only palace of the Nine Palaces that was on friendly terms with the Great Heaven Palace.

Even though he did not know what Ning Fan’s current pill refinent mastery was, he still had so admiration for him. Be it for the sake of their palaces or his friendship with him, he was willing to say sothing good on his behalf.

"The mbers of the Scarlet Heaven Palace always like defaming others behind their backs. What a shaful act. Since the honorable Pill Sovereign has chosen him, it naturally ant that he has sothing special going for him. Whether Revered Ming’s current pill refinent mastery has reached the Third Revolution or not, he isn’t soone whom the likes of you could besmirch."

If Yun Niansu’s tone was considered modest and polite, then Yang Gu’s tone sounded like he had flown into a rage.

Yang Gu was very angry and discontented.

Why? Because Chi Lao was mocking Ning Fan who was the master that Yang Gu had recognized not long ago!

To outsiders, Chi Lao’s words seed to be very reasonable. However, to Yang Gu, it was pure bullshit.

Did he actually say that Ning Fan’s pill refinent mastery might not necessarily be at the Third Revolution, let alone the Fourth Revolution...? Bullshit!

Yang Gu had seen with his own eyes when Ning Fan’s pill refinent realm broke through to the Mid Grade Fifth Revolution. In terms of pill refinent realms, he could completely overwhelm a small fry like Chi Lao.

How could this small fry be bold enough to ridicule his master? Is he tired of living?!

"Your pill refinent mastery can’t even match a fragnt of Revered Ming’s. You don’t even deserve to polish his shoes!" Yang Gu’s voice was loud. It sounded as if he was shouting those words.

*Shua*

At this mont, the animated discussions among the crowd quieted down.

Chi Lao’s face turned ghastly pale. He did not expect for the words he randomly said to defa Ning Fan would draw forth two pill refinent masters to stand up for him.

Besides, these two individuals were famous pill refinent masters. Chi Lao recognized them both.

Yun Niansu was a well-known pill refinent genius of the Rain Palace. He was also the foster son of the Third Prince. Before coming to the Endless Sea, his pill refinent realm was already close to breaking through to the Fifth Revolution. His pill refinent mastery was also slightly higher than Chi Lao’s. Usually, Chi Lao would not dare to offend Yun Niansu.

As for Yang Gu, he was also a pill refinent master who was a hair’s breadth away from attaining the Fifth Revolution according to so rumors. Moreover, he was born in Pill Island. On a typical day, Chi Lao would have also given Yang Gu so face due to his identity.

Today, however, Chi Lao was prepared to not show them so respect.

His face beca grim. Yun Niansu said he was a shaful man while Yang Gu said he was not even deserving of polishing Ning Fan’s shoes. As a Peak Grade Fourth Revolution pill refinent master, he, of course, had his own pride. How could he allow himself to be humiliated just like that?

"Yun Niansu! Yang Gu! Both of you are only pill refinent masters at the sa level as . I will show so respect to you two because of your achievents in pill refinent. However, the words you guys used to talk about

seed to be extrely impolite!"

"Did you just say we are on the sa level?" Yun Niansu’s eyes flickered with a hint of disdain. He already could not bear to see the arrogant faces of the mbers of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. Thus, he did not mind giving Chi Lao’s face a slap right now.

With elegant steps, he walked towards the Pill Stele like a refined young master who remained pure and refined even if he was born in a turbid world. He placed one of his palms on the stone slab.

All of a sudden, a vigorous rush of dicine qi was released from his body. At this mont, the Pill Stele glowed with a dazzling four-colored light. On top of that, five-colored clouds suddenly erged in the snowy sky!

Countless people sucked in a cold breath.

Young Master Niansu of the Profound Heaven Palace truly deserves to be called a prodigy in pill refinent. At such a young age, he has already beco a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!

"How is this possible?! You are so young. How is it possible for you to achieve the Fifth Revolution?!" Chi Lao’s expression turned hideous. A strong sense of frustration filled his heart.

All this ti, he had been thinking that his pill refinent mastery was slightly better than Yun Niansu’s. However, he did not expect that Yun Niansu had already secretly broken through to the Fifth Revolution and beca a person whom he could not match!

While he was still in a trance, Yang Gu also walked towards the Pill Stele with a cold smirk and placed his palm on the Pill Stele.

A few monts later, five-colored clouds erged in the snowy sky once again. Without a doubt, Yang Gu was also a bonafide Fifth Revolution Pill Master!

"What?!"

It was not only Chi Lao who was surprised by Yang Gu’s result, but also the great elder of Pill Island who was sitting in the hosts’ seats, also revealing a look of surprise.

He also did not know when Yang Gu attained Fifth Revolution pill refinent mastery!

Countless experts in the arena suddenly rose to their feet. Their eyes were blazing with enthusiasm as they looked at Yun Niansu and Yang Gu.

These two individuals were both Fifth Revolution Pill Masters. A Fourth Revolution Pill Master might beco famous within a country, but a Fifth Revolution Pill Master was sought after by hundreds of countries!

"I have told you. You don’t even deserve to polish Revered Ming’s shoes. Do you know why?"

Yang Gu looked at Chi Lao with a cold smirk, as if he wanted to establish Ning Fan’s reputation satisfactorily.

"It’s because Revered Ming is my master. His pill refinent mastery is far beyond my reach. The reason why my pill refinent mastery could break through to the Fifth Revolution is all because of my master’s guidance! You are just a lowly Fourth Revolution Pill Master who can’t even compare to . How could you put yourself on par with my master?!"

*Hua*

A huge commotion resounded across the arena.

Countless cultivators could not believe that Yang Gu, a reputable Fifth Revolution Pill Master, would recognize Ning Fan as his master in pill refinent!

Just as the crowd was still digesting Yang Gu’s words, a powerful dicine soul that was enormous like a gigantic dragon descended on the jade platform.

Countless pill refinent masters felt their minds go blank while their bodies uncontrollably shivered. Even Fourth Revolution Pill Masters could not resist the power of this dicine soul.

They were well aware that a dicine soul was a thod only Fifth Revolution Pill Masters would have. However, ordinary Fifth Revolution Pill Masters would not be able to terrorize Fourth Revolution Pill Masters!

Only pill refinent grandmasters who are on the sa level with Yi Yunzi and Mo Xiu could possess such frightening dicine soul power!

*Shush*

The shadow of a white-robed individual suddenly descended before the Pill Stele. He casually placed a single palm on the stone slab.

Monts later, the vast sky in the vicinity of one hundred thousand li* (500m per li) was fully occupied with five-colored clouds.

Moreover, among the five-colored clouds, there was a trace of a sixth color.

"What?! Six colors?! A Sixth Revolution Pill Master?! No. It isn’t the true sixth color. But..."

Yi Yunzi, Mo Xiu and Huang Tingzi stood up in surprise. They looked at Ning Fan’s direction full of doubts and shock.

"You know what they say, don’t do anything more than three tis. If you dare to gossip behind my back again, you will die for sure!"

Cold light flickered in Ning Fan’s eyes. With just a stare, Chi Lao felt like his soul was about to freeze!

An unprecedented feeling of frustration filled Chi Lao’s heart... A young man of five hundred years actually surpassed him in both cultivation level and pill refinent mastery.

How could this be even possible?! How could...?!

How could such a monstrous talent exist in the world?!

Chi Lao felt his face go hot. The eyes of countless cultivators who were laughing at him made him so ashad that he could not show his face.

Just a mont ago, he was still thinking that Ning Fan’s pill refinent mastery was weak and insignificant. Now, it really slapped him in the face...

"A useless scumbag!" Mo Xiu’s eyes turned gloomy. This ti, Chi Lao had really brought sha to his Scarlet Heaven Palace.
