Chapter 395: Buying Points

396. Chapter 395: Buying Points

Hearing this, Qin Dan curled the corner of his mouth and chuckled lightly, "Oh? I didn't expect you to hold such a high opinion of him, but isn't it an exaggeration to say he's more troublesome than Fen Tian Old Ancestor?"

"My score has fallen too far behind; next, I'm afraid I have no choice but to refine Fourth Grade pills. Only Fen Tian Old Ancestor here is a Fourth Grade Alchemist; even if that Third Grade Alchemist is a monster, he cannot pose any threat to me."

"Hmph! Let me tell you a principle: Qi Luck Children do not follow principles. Just because you think something is impossible doesn't mean it's impossible for a Qi Luck Child."

"By using this method to refine pills now, isn't he effectively already refining Fourth Grade pills?"

Hearing this, Qin Dan's expression turned completely grave.

Not much time had passed; just as everyone was still arguing endlessly, Long Xuan had already finished his pill.

He heavily slapped the Alchemy Furnace, causing the lid and the Spirit Pill inside to instantly fly high into the air.

No one paid attention to the flying lid, but the soaring Spirit Pill captured the gaze of everyone in the entire venue.

The Spirit Pill displayed five colors: gold, green, blue, red, and brown; under the sunlight, it reflected multicolored radiance, while the air was filled with overflowing Pill Fragrance that made people unable to resist taking deep breaths.

At this moment, the entire venue instantly fell silent; everyone's eyes were fixed tightly on the five-colored pill, utterly unable to look away.

"It succeeded? It really succeeded! Using this method to refine pills can actually produce a pill; this is truly unbelievable!"

Long Yuyao clenched her fists, her eyes excitedly fixed on that five-colored pill; only at this moment did her heart finally relax, and she let out a long sigh, realizing that this round should be as good as won, and her Long Clan would once again take the lead.

"How is this possible? Using pills as materials for alchemy has never succeeded since ancient times; how could it possibly succeed!"

Feng Shuang's face looked terrible, her expression twisted, her fists clenching tighter and tighter as she spoke with extreme reluctance.

Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qin Dan finally shifted their eyes away from the pill, sighing inwardly; just now, with a mere sweep of their Soul Power, they knew the situation was lost, as this pill's score would definitely exceed ninety points, meaning the two of them, as Fourth Grade Alchemists, would once again serve as foils.

At this moment, the five-colored pill finally descended from the air, grasped in Long Xuan's palm; he opened his hand, and that five-colored pill appeared once again in everyone's line of sight.

Long Xuan let out a long sigh; the timing was just right, and he had finally succeeded in refining the pill within the prescribed time; he swept his gaze around and finally said,

"This is a unique pill formula I created myself, named the Five Elements Saint Pill; I believe everyone has guessed its efficacy, which is the effect of breaking through realms."

"After a Spirit Sea Peak Gu Cultivator who cultivates one of the Chu Wu Xing Shu Xing forces consumes the Five Elements Saint Pill, their success rate for breaking through to become a Gu King can increase by ninety percent; this is still an extremely conservative estimate, after all, nothing is absolute."

As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of sharp intakes of breath instantly rang out throughout the entire venue.

Almost all Realm-Breaking Pills have only a ten percent breakthrough rate; Realm-Breaking Pills with a rate exceeding ten percent are extremely rare, so a Realm-Breaking Pill with a rate as high as ninety percent was simply unheard of, causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock.

Long Xiaoyao could no longer hold back; he waved his hand, and the Five Elements Saint Pill in Long Xuan's palm flew high, speeding toward the Judges' platform at extreme velocity.

However, before the Five Elements Saint Pill could land in Long Xiaoyao's hand, it was intercepted from the side by Qin Shang.

At this moment, Qin Shang's hand gripping the Five Elements Saint Pill was trembling; he carefully opened his palm, his eyes burning as he stared, while the judges sitting around him stretched their necks, poking their heads over to look.

After examining the pill's potency up close, Qin Shang's face instantly flushed with excitement, his breathing became rapid, and he lost his composure, shouting loudly,

"A Fourth Grade pill, this is a Fourth Grade pill! I never expected the Alchemy by Pill Method could actually succeed; once this method emerges, I fear the entire Alchemy Realm will undergo a massive earthquake!"

The fatty flesh on Qin Shang's face trembled continuously.

Just as he was distracted, the pill in his hand was inadvertently snatched away by Wang Hu from the side.

Looking at this pill up close, Wang Hu's tall figure was actually trembling at this moment.

"A miracle, truly a miracle! Young friend, you are about to become famous; the miracle you have created is enough to be recorded for eternity, and we are all witnesses to this miracle; may you gift this pill to me? I wish to keep the first pill refined using this method as a memento; I am willing to give you ninety-five points!"

Long Xuan froze on the spot; buying points right under everyone's eyes was probably not appropriate; had they stopped caring about hiding it altogether?

However, before he could speak, the Judges' platform had already descended into chaos.

Immediately, a Fourth Grade Alchemist interrupted, "Young friend! I am willing to offer ninety-six points; are you willing to gift this pill to me?"

"Gift it to me! I am willing to offer ninety-seven points!" someone in the back soon shouted at the top of their lungs.

At this moment, the Judges' platform was in complete chaos; all the judges were actually fighting over this pill, each wanting to secure the Five Elements Saint Pill for themselves.

This pill held great significance and possessed immense commemorative value, but I'm afraid more people wanted to study this pill to figure out the Alchemy by Pill Method.

Such a Heaven-defying alchemy technique undoubtedly made everyone's hearts race.

Therefore, the Judges' platform immediately erupted into fierce argument; a group of highly esteemed Fourth Grade Alchemists argued until their faces were red and necks thick, quickly bidding the price up to one hundred points, with trends suggesting it would rise even higher.

When adding points was no longer enough, they began adding external treasures.

Everyone was dumbfounded, so shocked their jaws were about to drop to the floor.

It must be known that the last ten points were a range reserved for Fourth Grade pills.

Ninety-five points were reserved for top-tier Fourth Grade pills; a ninety-six-point Fourth Grade pill could at least summon a Heavenly Phenomenon, while a ninety-eight-point Fourth Grade pill could at least summon a Heavenly Tribulation.

However, the Five Elements Saint Pill refined by Long Xuan could only compare to Fourth Grade pills in terms of energy; strictly speaking, it was absolutely not a Fourth Grade pill, its potency was not the efficacy a Fourth Grade pill should have, and it would be completely useless if consumed by a Gu King.

Therefore, although this pill could exceed ninety points, giving it ninety-five points was already a serious overreach, and giving it one hundred points was utterly outrageous; to put it bluntly, this already constituted serious score-selling and cheating behavior.

Long Xuan clicked his tongue; he hadn't expected this Five Elements Saint Pill to have such immense power that it could drive over a hundred judges on the platform into madness.

After the judges on the platform had argued for who knows how long, Long Xiaoyao finally stood up and announced with a red face, "After our unanimous deliberation, this pill can receive a score of ninety-two points."

"However, according to the rules, two-thirds of the pills refined by contestants must be handed over to the competition organizers."

"If two pills are refined, they are split evenly; if only one pill is refined, then that pill belongs to the competition organizers."

"No one needs to fight over this pill anymore; it belongs to our Ten Kingdoms to hold jointly."

"Adjourn the meeting now!" (End of Chapter)
