Chapter 704: Incidents at the Pill Gathering

The method of Medicinal Cuisine is currently only in its budding stage, severely incomplete, with an upper limit of only Mid-level Fourth Rank.

Other Cultivators might feel curious upon learning this, but they would absolutely not harbor any grand ideas about this method.

However.

For Wang Jianqiang, the situation is completely different.

He has a system at his disposal.

From First-tier Pills onwards, what he has been exposed to are Perfect Pills.

His understanding of the fusion and combination of medicinal properties can be called invincible in this age.

If he could obtain that Medicinal Cuisine Inheritance.

Perhaps he could bridge the broken path and perfect this method of Medicinal Cuisine into a complete Dao!

To take a step back.

Even if this method of Medicinal Cuisine could not be continued.

He has the system by his side.

There is no need for him to perfect that incomplete Medicinal Cuisine method himself; the only thing lost would be some Cultivation Points.

This loss, to him, is entirely within an acceptable range.

The reason Yang Yuntian dared to speak openly about the Medicinal Cuisine Inheritance he obtained without any reservations.

Was because he was certain that this inheritance had limited value and would not attract others to fight over it.

But he miscalculated.

He would never, ever imagine.

That someone cheating had snuck into this Pill Gathering.

……

After tasting the Medicinal Cuisine, Yang Yuntian waved his palm.

A piece of Jade Stone flew toward the center of the Square, transforming into a circular platform about a zhang in diameter, hovering in mid-air.

Afterward, he looked at Wan Guiyuan, "Senior Brother Wan, will you go first?"

Wan Guiyuan smiled and shook his head, making a gesture of invitation, "Junior Brother Yang is the organizer of the Pill Gathering; it is only right that Junior Brother Yang goes first."

Yang Yuntian smiled and did not stand on ceremony further.

His figure flashed, appearing on the circular platform.

"Everyone, the Medicinal Cuisine has been enjoyed; next is the lecture session."

"I am untalented, so I shall cast a brick to attract jade."

Saying this, he sat cross-legged on the circular platform.

He began to recount various knowledge and details within the Dao of pills.

The crowd gathered their focus one after another.

On the Square, it was silent, with only Yang Yuntian's voice echoing.

At a certain moment.

A voice suddenly came from outside the Square.

"Who are you people?"

"Stop, you cannot go in!"

The sudden sound broke the silence in the Square.

Yang Yuntian's lecturing voice was instantly interrupted, and he frowned as he looked toward the edge of the Square.

At the same time, the crowd also revealed expressions of dissatisfaction one after another.

They looked toward the direction from which the voice came.

Under the gaze of many eyes.

Two men and one woman, three figures, walked in swaggeringly from outside the Square.

The woman stood in the center of the three, with the two men standing on her left and right.

Facing the gaze of the crowd, the three seemed as if they had not noticed it at all.

Their expressions were as usual.

As for the guards who had intercepted the three, they had already been frozen in place, unable to move.

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare you trespass on the Pill Gathering!"

The middle-aged Cultivator responsible for the order of the Pill Gathering had his expression change, and he immediately erupted with power, rushing toward the three.

To the woman's left, a youth in grey clothes glanced at the middle-aged Cultivator.

Within his eyes, a grey Spirit Light flashed.

The middle-aged Cultivator's figure instantly stiffened, and he fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move.

It was as if he had turned into a rigid, dead corpse.

But from his eyes, which were filled with terror, it could be seen that he had not died.

He was merely controlled, unable to move a single bit.

The guards at the edge of the Square saw this, their expressions changed drastically, and they were about to rush into the Square.

"Stop."

Just at this moment, Yang Yuntian suddenly spoke, blocking the crowd.

His gaze swept over the Spirit Tokens at the three's waists, and he frowned, "Disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect?"

Hearing Yang Yuntian's inquiry, the woman among the three smiled, "Jade Cauldron Sect, Kong Yu."

After her voice fell, the young men on the left and right sides spoke one after another.

"Jade Cauldron Sect, Qin Chen."

"Jade Cauldron Sect, Xiao Che."

Hearing these three unfamiliar names, the crowd in the Square had no reaction at all.

Only Wan Guiyuan revealed a look of surprise.

He stood up and looked at the three, his expression becoming grave.

"Qin Chen, Xiao Che, talented Disciples ranked in the top ten in strength among the Core Disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect."

As he spoke, he looked at the woman in the center of the three, "Kong Yu, Inner Sect Number One Prodigy of the Jade Cauldron Sect; it is rumored that her talent is astonishing, and she will surely become a Core Disciple within three years at most!"

Hearing Wan Guiyuan's words, the crowd looked at the three in surprise.

The Beast Taming Sect is located in the eastern region of Youzhou.

In this vast region, there are a total of Four Great Powers.

The Jade Cauldron Sect, like the Beast Taming Sect, is one of the Four Great Powers.

However, the Four Great Powers have always been in constant competition.

There is rarely any interaction between them.

Especially between the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Beast Taming Sect, the relationship between the two is particularly tense.

Even when Disciples from the sects go out for training, they rarely head to the other's sphere of influence.

These three, as talented Disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect, had actually swaggered into Maple City.

Were they not afraid of dying suddenly here?

A sense of wonder arose in everyone's hearts.

Seeing that Wan Guiyuan was so familiar with their information, the three of Kong Yu raised their eyebrows in unison and looked toward Wan Guiyuan.

Kong Yu's red lips parted slightly, and a pleasant voice slowly emerged, "Daoist Friend is so familiar with our intelligence; could it be that you are a Core Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect?"

Wan Guiyuan stood up and said, "Core Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, Wan Guiyuan."

Wan Guiyuan.

The hearts of the three stirred simultaneously.

As talented disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect, one of the Four Great Powers.

They might not have had direct contact with every single Core Disciple of the other three great powers.

But they were well aware of the intelligence regarding every Core Disciple of the other three great powers.

Kong Yu smiled, "It is rumored that Daoist Friend Wan is top-tier in both Spiritual Power and alchemy cultivation."

"I did not expect to have the honor of meeting you today."

Wan Guiyuan smiled coldly and indifferently, offering no response.

On the circular platform.

After learning the identities of the three, Yang Yuntian frowned as he looked at them.

"As talented disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect, is it not a bit too vulgar to barge into someone else's gathering like this?"

Kong Yu smiled lightly, "After we three entered Maple City, we learned about Daoist Friend's Pill Gathering."

"We knew that the original intention of Daoist Friend holding the Pill Gathering was to exchange alchemy knowledge."

"I happen to have dabbled in alchemy as well, and upon hearing that the Pill Gathering was being held, I felt a bit restless and came specifically to witness it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuntian frowned and looked at the three; in order not to delay the progress of the Pill Gathering, he did not continue to speak coldly, "The three of you have come from afar as guests; since that is the case, please take your seats."

Hearing Yang Yuntian's words, Kong Yu shook her head and did not move an inch.

With a smile on her pretty face, she looked at Yang Yuntian, "If I am not mistaken, you must be the Inner Sect Alchemy Number One of the Beast Taming Sect and one of the organizers of this Pill Gathering, Yang Yuntian, right?"

Yang Yuntian nodded, "That is correct."

Kong Yu smiled, "There is no need to sit; to save time, why don't we keep it simple."

Yang Yuntian frowned, "What does Fairy Kong mean by this?"

The smile on Kong Yu's face remained unchanged.

"You are the Inner Sect Alchemy Number One of the Beast Taming Sect, and I am the Inner Sect Alchemy Number One of the Jade Cauldron Sect."

"I would very much like to see whether you, the Inner Sect Alchemy Number One of the Beast Taming Sect, are more formidable, or if I, the Inner Sect Alchemy Number One of the Jade Cauldron Sect, am stronger."

"Let the two of us have a competition."

"How about it?"
