Chapter 834: Shocked Uncle
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After roaming around Pill City for a while, they finally gathered most of the materials needed to refine the pills.
“M-hm, we’re still missing two core ingredients. We might need to go to the Pill Tower to find them.”
Dongfang Zhuangshi caressed his azure jade storage ring as he spoke.
“Pill Tower? That tower in the city center?” An Lin asked curiously. He turned his gaze toward the city center. Located there was a seven-colored pagoda, which towered into the skies.
“That’s right, it’s indeed that legendary tower!” A look of reminiscence appeared in Dongfang Zhuangshi’s eyes as he gazed at that magnificent tower. “The Pill Tower is one of the most renowned sacred lands for pill refinent. Many great pill refiners have erged from this place. This place has produced eight pill refiners of the Supre Stage!”
An Lin was filled with a deep sense of admiration and awe upon hearing this.
To his knowledge, pill refinent was separated into five major ranks—Fla Mastery Stage, Wish Fulfilnt Stage, Spirit Gathering Stage, Soul Creation Stage, and Supre Stage. In other words, eight unparalleled pill refiners had erged from this Pill Tower. This was an astounding feat.
One had to rember, even Yi Xi’s pill refinent rank was only of the Supre Stage.
Xu Xiaolan was especially talented in pill refinent, and she had also received Shen Yin’s pill refinent inheritance. However, her current rank was only that of the Soul Creation Stage. As such, one could imagine just how bad*ss a pill refiner of the Supre Stage was.
At the very least, refining immortal pills was well within their capabilities.
“Do we really have the necessary qualifications to enter such an impressive place?” An Lin asked anxiously.
“Heh, ordinary people are indeed unable to enter. But you people must know, I have another identity…” Dongfang Zhuangshi raised his proud head.
The beasts all drew in sharp breaths. An Lin and Xu Xiaolan also had looks of anticipation. An incredible identity was about to be revealed.
“That’s right, it’s just as you all think. I’m also a pill refiner!” There was a smug grin on Dongfang Zhuangshi’s face. “Moreover, I’m a pill refiner of the Spirit Gathering Pinnacle Stage!”
Beasts: “…”
An Lin: “…”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
“What? Have you all been shocked speechless?” Dongfang Zhuangshi wore a calm and understanding expression as he looked at the speechless people before him.
An Lin grimaced.?Say, you’re a mythological beast of the Dao Integration Stage, yet your pill refinent rank is rely at the Spirit Gathering Pinnacle Stage? Is this really sothing to be proud of?
M-hm, should I tell this uncle that Xiaolan’s pill refinent rank is even higher than his? She’s already reached the Soul Creation Stage…
It was even more difficult for Xu Xiaolan to contain herself. She still had to maintain a facade of calm even while watching a senior brag about a pill refinent rank that was lower than hers… It was truly exhausting!
“In the Pill Tower, pill refiners of the Supre Stage are extrely transcendent beings.” Dongfang Zhuangshi smiled. “Pill refiners of the Soul Creation Stage can assu the positions of elder or tutor. As for pill refiners of the Spirit Gathering Pinnacle Stage, we’re the most outstanding students of the Pill Tower.”
The corners of An Lin’s mouth also tugged into a smile.
The beasts also smiled along with him.
An Lin sighed in his mind.?F*cking hell. I’m afraid that he’s just like . His talent in pill refinent is non-existent, and his ranks are dragged up by his cultivation base!
An Lin’s Fla Mastery Stage pill refinent rank was a result of his Soul Formation Stage cultivation base. Dongfang Zhuangshi’s Spirit Gathering Stage pill refinent rank was also most likely a result of his Dao Integration Stage cultivation base as well.
After all, even pigs would beco slightly knowledgeable if they reached such a cultivation base…
Hang on… he said that he was going to refine pills before.
What kind of f*cking pills can he refine with such a lowly rank?!
“Uncle Dongfang, you said that you were going to refine aura-concealing pills for us. What rank are they? Is your pill refinent rank high enough?” An Lin tried to phrase his question in a tactful manner.
Dongfang Zhuangshi sighed. “I obtained the pill refinent recipe from an ancient text. It’s a third-rank spirit pill. However, I’m unable to refine it myself. I need to seek the help of a Soul Creation Stage pill refiner.
“This is fairly troubleso. After all, I’ll need to reveal the pill refinent recipe. Never mind. For the sake of our safety, we need to make so necessary sacrifices.”
Dongfang Zhuangshi had evidently reached a decision already. His expression told them that he was ready to sacrifice his “little self”.
“That um… It doesn’t need to be so difficult. Xiaolan is actually a pill refiner of the Soul Creation Stage.” An Lin hesitated for a mont before deciding to say this.
Uncle Dongfang’s eyes widened in shock. “W-what did you say?!”
“M-hm. Uncle Dongfang, it’s true that I’m a pill refiner of the Soul Creation Stage,” Xu Xiaolan confird. “If it’s a third-rank spirit pill, I’m fairly confident that I can refine it if I see the pill recipe.”
Dongfang Zhuangshi: “…”
Even though he had lived for all these years, Dongfang Zhuangshi’s face still flushed red with embarrassnt. There was nothing he could do about it. He was flexing before the others, yet a much younger cultivator suddenly inford him that she was more capable than him…
This kind of feeling was truly painful!
He had studied pill refinent for many years, yet he was even less capable than a young female… Had his entire life been a waste of ti?!
For so reason, the image of a large-eyed, yellow-robed female suddenly appeared in his mind as he gazed at the shy yet confident female before him.
“Is that so. Then I’ll have to trouble Little Friend Xu Xiaolan with this matter.” Dongfang Zhuangshi nodded in agreent after a mont of absentmindedness.
After confirming this, they continued to head toward the Pill Tower.
In fact, Dongfang Zhuangshi was feeling a bit disappointed. His glory of being the strongest pill refiner of their group was stripped away from him.
Xu Xiaolan was feeling a bit jittery. Her pill refinent rank was higher than a Dao Integration Stage cultivator and a bunch of Return to Void Stage cultivators! If news of this spread, she could definitely boast for a long ti.
…
In no ti, they arrived before the Pill Tower.
It appeared as though an event was being held on the dao plaza in front of the Pill Tower. There was a huge number of beings gathered here, and the dao plaza was bustling with excitent. At the dao plaza, which asured ten kiloters in periter, there were hundreds of thousands of beings moving about.
A resonant voice was currently traveling over from the center of the dao plaza.
“It’s almost upon us! The pill refinent competition that occurs once every ten years! As long as you’re under thirty years of age, and your pill refinent rank has reached the Fla Mastery Stage, you can sign up to compete in this competition!
“The prize pool for this competition is extrely attractive! The top one hundred refiners will win the chance to enter the Pill Tower to cultivate. The top five refiners will each receive a sixth-rank immortal pill coupon. In addition to this, the winner will also receive a treasure from the Pill Tower—the interdiate-rank immortal tool, Nine Spirit Cauldron!”
This voice swept over the entire dao plaza and also traveled into An Lin and the others’ ears.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
They turned to look at each other. They could both see the flas of excitent and eagerness in each other’s eyes.
“An Lin, it just so happens that I’m short on a decent pill refinent cauldron,” Xu Xiaolan said crisply.
“Go on, Xiaolan. Let these beings understand the true art of pill refinent!” An Lin encouraged.
Dongfang Zhuangshi: “???”
