Chapter 1083: Filling the Numbers and Contrast

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

When the quality and level of the pill being cultivated was too high, it might develop inner demons during the process and lead to a pill tribulation.

If the situation was handled properly, the quality of the pill might increase another level if the inner demons were removed. But if they couldn’t be removed, the powers of the pill would be swallowed by the illusory demons and the demons would turn real. As they wreaked havoc, the pills would be destroyed.

However, if the pill tribulation was overcome and the inner demons were removed, the quality of the pills could increase. But no one cultivating pills was elated to see a pill tribulation occurring.

The reason was that it was very difficult to remove the inner demons.

To remove the inner demons, it was no longer not just about the cultivation and strength of the pill cultivator. If too much strength was used, the inner demons could be removed, but the cauldron of pills could be destroyed too. Everything would come to waste then.

Even if the inner demons were suppressed, it could still leave a mark on the pills, which might cause the inner demons of people who consume this pill to act up.

To remove the inner demons, it depended on the technique and method of the pill cultivator. And how long it would take depended too.

The agreed upon timing for this pill cultivation contest was 7 days. Now that 7 days were up, even while Xiao Yan could remove the inner demons successfully and allow the quality of the pills to increase considerably, he would surpass the time limit.

While it was true that they were comparing the level and quality of he pills before the quantity and time taken, the condition was that the deadline had to be met before the comparison could be made.

Moreover, generally speaking, pill tribulations occur because the pill cultivator’s control was not well. Something must have had happened along the way that led to the pill tribulation.

The most possible reason was that the pill cultivator was too impatient.

From past experiences of pill tribulations occurring during a pill cultivation contest, the burden on the cultivator was much greater on the cultivator than it was supposed to be normally without the pill tribulations.

Hearing roars coming from Xiao Yan’s crucible, as if an uncontrolled beast was raging, everyone around developed weird looks.

Amidst the crowd in the Great Void Sect, Chang Ling snorted, “No wonder, whatever Master there is, whatever disciple will be produced. He is being too impatient to succeed, which has led to the pill tribulation.”

Chen Xingyu was calm as he looked at the crucible of Xiao Yan. He felt the change in spiritual energy and shook his head, “It might be that the pressure given to him by Granduncle Qing Ning and the Ling Jue Holy Man is too huge.”

“After all, it’s only been awhile since he formed the Immortal Soul. Furthermore, he did not use the Nanming Primordial Fire and turned to use the Pure Yang Primrodial Fire.”

Among the younger generation disciples of the Great Void Sect, Chen Xingyu and Chang Ling were the best in pill cultivation.

Although he was not under the Qing Ning Holy Man, Chen Xingyu’s pill cultivation skills were highly rated by the Qing Ning Holy Man. Furthermore, the time he spent on pill cultivation was much lesser than Chang Ling. This showed that he was much more talented than Chang Ling.

Chang Ling replied, “He wanted to do that himself. No one forced him to do that. He is too full of himself to dare to compete against Grandmaster. When he fails and is humiliated, he can only burden everything on his own.”

“The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are too used to being maniacal. This is only what they deserve.” Someone beside Chang Ling said, “If demons are really cultivated and all the medicinal power is engulfed, it will be a joke.”

With regards to Xiao Yan’s situation, the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai were also very concerned. Both of them picked their brows slightly before they regained their calmness.

They had already reached the critical point – retrieving the pills.

After Gu Yuankai’s 81 palm strikes concluded, he stepped forward and slapped both his palms on the crucible. Then, he shouted, “Open!”

The Nanming Primordial Fire in the crucible shot into sky and converted into a beam of golden fire. Red and blue radiance revolved around non-stop. As the flames disappeared, a bright, shining glow was revealed from within the crucible.

In the glow, a white lotus rose and floated in mid-space. Following the wind, it became extremely huge, just like the lotus platform beneath all of them.

The white lotus converted from the glow bloomed with petals. In the center of the lotus, spots of green light flashed. They appeared within the white lotus, with a total of 18 spots.

As Gu Yuankai cultivated his spiritual pill, a non-illusory image was created. It had consolidated to form a real entity and was extremely petrifying. The tremendous medicinal power and miraculous concept contained within it could be felt.

And on the other side, at the same time, the Qing Ning Holy Man’s palms on the crucible released and he retreated.

Following his actions, the whitish-black gas whirlpool also dispersed and converted into streaks of clouds which floated in space. It was just like a sea of black and white clouds, engulfing the white lotus beneath everyone.

The dim-green flames disappeared and a beam of thick golden light shot out from the ground, covering the Qing Ning Holy Man and his crucible.

Within the beam of golden light, nine light spots rose up, which were very eye-catching. It was as if they were nine small Suns.

Gu Yuankai looked at the nine golden pills that rose up like small Suns and complimented, “Nine Suns Spiritual Divine Pill. Comrade Qing Ning, your grasp of pill cultivation is indeed astonishing.”

Although he had 18 pills and the Qing Ning Holy Man had only 9 pills, it didn’t mean that the Qing Ning Holy Man lost in terms of quantity.

The original materials placed into the cauldron and the type of pill itself caused this difference.

The original materials of the Qing Ning Holy Man cultivated the Nine Suns Spiritual Divine Pill, with no materials being wasted, which led to just exactly 9 pills created. In terms of quantity, this was the extreme already.

Similarly, if Gu Yuankai did not waste any materials, he could only form 18 pills. He also reached his limit and there was no flaw in this aspect.

Thus, both parties had achieved the same result in the area of quantity. They were equal.

The Qing Ning Holy Man’s vision also landed on the 18 greenish pills that Gu Yuankai cultivated. He nodded his head hurriedly, “Comrade Gu, don’t stand on ceremony. For me to witness your pill cultivation skills, it has indeed broadened my knowledge.”

In the Great Void Sect camp, Wu Mengqi said after looking at both the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai’s pills, “I used to think that Senior Qing Ning is unrivalled in the art of pill cultivation in the Divine Lands. Today, I found out that there’s someone who can match up to Senior Qing Ning.”

“Let’s not talk about cultivation. In the art of pill cultivation, he is the level of Senior Qing Ning.”

Yan Nanlai said, “The Ling Jue Holy Man, Gu Yuankai, is the top pill cultivator in the Emperor Gu lineage. In terms of pill cultivation, he is even above Gu Jun.”

Everyone was trying to figure out the pills that both parties cultivated.

The Nine Suns Spiritual Divine Pill was nothing compared to the Ten Sages Aurous Core and Way of the Celestial Being Aurous Core, but it was still a spiritual pill that was passed down in the Great Void Sect. It had the effect of healing’s one soul and nourishing one’s soul.

The Awakening Sage Pill was a spiritual pill passed down in the Gu Family. It was similarly not comparable to the Longevity Pill and Treasure Pill, but it was still an outstanding pill. It had the effect of healing injuries and nourishing one’s soul too.

In terms of the level of pills, these two pills were of the same level. There was no differentiating them.

Lin Feng, Gu Jun and Yan Nanlai sensed the medicinal power and quality of the two pills. After that, Lin Feng said, “It’s difficult to separate them apart when they are so good.”

He was being fair, which was also acknowledged by Gu Jun and Yan Nanlai. And both the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai also acknowledged that this was a draw between them.

While Gu Yuankai retrieved the pills earlier than the Qing Ning Holy Man by an instant, the result was that they finished at the same time. Thus, it was still a draw.

Furthermore, regardless whether it was the Nine Suns Spiritual Divine Pill or Awakening Sage Pill, they were theoretically pills that could not be cultivated within 7 days. This was even so for the Qing Ning Holy Man and Gu Yuankai. But today, they had broken through their own limits.

This competition between both parties was balanced in all aspects, regardless whether it was the level of the pills, quality of the pills, quantity of the pills or speed of cultivation.

This also left everyone stunned.

Whereas Gu Yuankai also proved to the Great Void Sect and Celestial Sect of Wonders that he could be mentioned in the same breath as the Qing Ning Holy Man.

Although this was carried out in the Nanming Longevity World, Lin Feng and Yan Nanlai could confirm that Gu Yuankai did not have any form of geographical advantage.

However, as they competed till this stage, everyone still felt that Gu Yuankai was slightly lousier than the Qing Ning Holy Man even though it was a draw.

That’s because the Nanming Primordial Fire was, after all, still better than the Green Lotus True Blaze.

Although the fires were part of their own powers, no one would actually use that as an excuse. When everything was balanced and victory could not be decided, the difference in the fires would naturally be noticed. Even if it was not said explicitly, it would still affect one’s thoughts.

Gu Yuankai did not speak as he remained deep in thought. The same thinking rose in his mind.

Everyone around was dazed as they looked, “This is indeed a prestigious event. What a close battle for all of us to see.”

“However, the last competitor seems to be filling the numbers.” Chang Ling mentioned, “Not only is he filling the numbers, he is even bringing shame to such an event.”

“If not for Grandmaster and the Ling Jue Holy Man, this pill cultivation contest would be a joke.”

Gu Cheng sighed and spoke to Gu Jun through his awareness, “It seems like that Barren Spirit Spring won’t be handed over to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but to the Great Void Sect. This will be a little too risky for us.”

“Oh, is that so?” Gu Jun smiled, “I don’t think so.”

Gu Cheng was jolted awake and he looked on the other side of the lotus.

Over there, someone seemed to have been forgotten.

It was as if his presence was to prove how outstanding the two elders were.

But at this point, the fierce beast roared deeply as it collapsed!

An Eight Trigrams Diagram formed from golden light appeared out of nowhere in Xiao Yan’s palms, suppressing the black crucible.
