392. Chapter 391: Continuing to Act Arrogant

"Looking for death!"

"Corpse-Transforming Palm!"

Black Mountain Old Man slapped a palm toward the rushing Fen Tian Old Ancestor.

Who knew that Fen Tian Old Ancestor had an eye standing up in the center of his eyebrows at this time.

"Corpse-Transforming Palm!"

He actually used the exact same palm technique to collide with Black Mountain Old Man. The two palms collided. Fen Tian Old Ancestor didn't move at all, but Black Mountain Old Man flew out horizontally.

Finally, he hit a tree and broke it before stopping. After he landed, he staggered back a few steps, raised his head to look at him, and his eyes showed disbelief: "This is my unique Heaven-Tier peerless technique, Corpse-Transforming Palm. How is this possible?"

The other three evils looked at each other, frowned, and all showed expressions solemn to the extreme.

"Attack together!"

The three looked at each other and rushed toward Fen Tian Old Ancestor together.

"Hmph! Not knowing life or death. Since you want to die, then I will fulfill you!"

Fen Tian Old Ancestor was furious. The three Heavenly Fires suddenly flew out of his body. The temperature around him soared instantly. Flowers, plants, and trees burned spontaneously under the high temperature. The forest instantly filled with fire, and there was a sea of fire everywhere...

At this time, Heavenly Phoenix City, because of the sudden change, all the contestants ran out of the Medicine Realm in advance. Everyone showed a look of horror, and many people were embarrassed, with not only bloodstains but also not-light injuries on their bodies.

Seeing this scene, the group of judges all had livid faces. After counting the number of people, they found that only one hundred came out. All the judges had bad expressions.

"It's already considered many. If Fen Tian Old Ancestor wanted to, it would be easy for him to kill everyone inside."

"It seems that he wants to defeat all competitors fairly in the competition. He didn't move any of the true genius alchemists. It's the luckiest thing in misfortune." Qin Shang let out a long sigh of relief and sighed.

"Hmph! In this way, we still have to thank him?" Wang Wu snorted coldly. Seeing that at least half of the Wang Clan alchemists had fallen, his face looked even worse.

The alchemists who could reach the third round were all the most outstanding alchemy geniuses of the Wang Clan. Losing even one was something they couldn't afford.

Losing so many genius alchemists, the little reward from winning the competition couldn't make up for the loss at all. How could his face be good?

If there was anyone here with the worst face, it had to be Feng Tiancheng. The nation-protecting treasure, the Enlightenment Dao Tea Tree, was lost, and the city was already in chaos. At this time, how could he still have the heart to host the competition?

But this grand Western Region Alchemy Competition could not be interrupted, so he could only bite the bullet and continue. He walked out and sighed: "There was a bit of an accident. The competition time hasn't arrived, but all the contestants have come out."

"This is my Feng Clan's mistake. I express my apologies."

"However, although everyone entered the Medicine Realm for a slightly shorter time and didn't pick many spirit herbs, everyone is at the same starting point, so it is still fair."

"Now, let everyone show the spirit herbs they have collected."

After Feng Tiancheng finished speaking, all the contestants each found a table to sit down and took out the spirit herbs they had collected from their storage rings and placed them on the table.

The aura of spirit herbs from the Medicine Realm is special. No one would take spirit herbs that don't belong to the Medicine Realm to make up the numbers.

Long Xuan finally placed the spirit herbs he had collected on the table.

The Enlightenment Dao Tea Tree branch belongs to the spirit herbs in the Medicine Realm, but naturally, it cannot be taken out. In order to avoid being detected by the Feng Clan, as early as when his abilities were restored in the Medicine Realm, he ordered the Straw Gu to transfer the Enlightenment Dao Tea Tree branch away. Even if they died trying, they wouldn't be able to detect it.

Not long after, he took out all the spirit herbs he had collected, filling half the table. The number of spirit herbs was not large, but because of the cheating of his split souls, the number of his spirit herbs was already considered many among all the contestants.

Of course, this was only compared to ordinary alchemists. That Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qin Dan took out far more spirit herbs than him, filling the table, and even so many that they couldn't be put down. No one knew how many people they had killed to plunder so many spirit herbs.

Long Yuyao, Feng Shuang, and Wang Wu, because they had a large number of clansmen cheating, also had more spirit herbs in their hands than him.

Long Xuan looked at the few people with his peripheral vision and frowned secretly.

With many spirit herbs, there are more opportunities to choose. This round is extremely unfavorable to him.

Although he got a perfect score in the first two rounds, he only pulled a one-point gap from Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qin Dan.

If one thing goes wrong in this hurdle, not only will the previous advantage be gone, but he will also be left far behind by many contestants. Long Xuan instantly felt the pressure.

Long Xiaoyao cast his gaze toward this side. Seeing that the spirit herbs placed on his table were not many, he also frowned deeply.

"Do you have the certainty for this round!" Long Xiaoyao asked nervously, hurriedly using soul transmission.

However, he felt that he seemed to have asked a nonsense question at this time. In such a situation, even if Long Xuan said he had certainty, he wouldn't believe it.

"The problem is not big. Even if I can't defeat everyone, it's absolutely impossible to lose. The score shouldn't pull a gap. However, I need time." Long Xuan bit the bullet and replied using soul transmission.

The number of his spirit herbs was far less than those two. If he didn't seek change, he would definitely lose this round, and the gap would be more than one point.

Since things have come to this, he could only take another path.

The competition rule is that each contestant must refine spirit pills according to the spirit herbs they have collected. The higher the value of the refined spirit pills, the higher the score.

Then, if he wants to get the highest score with a small number of spirit herbs, the only way for him now is to create a pill formula based on the existing spirit herbs. He still has to act arrogant.

The time to search for herbs in the Medicine Realm was three days, and the time to refine pills after coming out was one day. Now, because of the sudden change, all the contestants came out in less than a day.

That is to say, if speaking according to the competition rules, he now has at least three days of usable time, and he is not researching spirit pills that can attract anomalies. The time is almost enough.

Thinking like this in his heart, he closed his eyes and his consciousness walked into the Soul Study, beginning to research pill formulas at the fastest speed.

No one paid attention to this strange action of his. Seeing that all the contestants had taken out spirit herbs, Feng Tiancheng said: "Since all the contestants have collected spirit herbs, let's start refining pills now."

After speaking, he didn't say anything more.

Except for Long Xuan who was closing his eyes and resting without any action, all the contestants immediately took out their alchemy furnaces and threw the spirit herbs on the table into the alchemy furnace one by one.

Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qin Dan glanced at the tables of all the contestants and showed looks of disdain.

Perhaps because they felt that they had a steady win in this round, or perhaps because they disdained to refine Fourth Grade pills to bully others, the pills they were refining in this round were actually still Third Grade pills.

Seeing that Fen Tian Old Ancestor threw Third Grade spirit herbs into the alchemy furnace, Long Xiaoyao, who had been paying attention to this side, finally felt relieved, sighing inwardly. Sure enough, it was just as he expected. Without being forced to a corner, with Fen Tian Old Ancestor's arrogance, he would never refine Fourth Grade pills.

However, because he had slaughtered too many contestants, he had the largest number of spirit herbs in his hands. Even if he refined Third Grade pills in this round, getting the highest score would be easy.

Long Xiaoyao showed a nervous expression and cast his gaze toward Long Xuan again, seeing that he was sitting there closing his eyes and resting, he couldn't help but frown deeply.

"What on earth is he doing?" Long Yuyao looked toward this side, feeling annoyed in her heart.

She let him huddle together to cheat, but he arrogantly said he disdained to do so. Now his number of spirit herbs was far less than the competitors. Now he had acted too arrogant. Did he think closing his eyes could solve the problem?

If all the Long Clan contestants' spirit herbs were put together, the number of spirit herbs could at least catch up to half of those two. Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't pull too big a gap.

Now there is big trouble... (End of chapter)
