Chapter 20

On the "Pill Refining Field."

The results of the fourth round of the "Yuan-Returning Pill" examination had already been announced.

It was still the Ye, Xiao, Li, and Sun families sweeping the top four.

The host, the Heng Family, seventeenth place:

Three pills, two inferior, one low-grade!

This was only slightly better than the small family with only one alchemist in eighteenth place, and that was only because that family's alchemist happened to blow up their furnace and didn't refine anything!

The atmosphere of the entire "Pill Refining Field" was extremely strange.

Most people looked at the Heng Family camp with pity, mockery, or disdain.

And the Heng family members were all filled with grief and indignation.

This could no longer be described as embarrassing!

It was an endless, unventable humiliation!

"Impossible..." Heng Wei kept muttering.

Old Master Heng Xiu simply closed his eyes.

Ye Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze from the Seventh Princess in front and said: "Although the Heng Family is declining, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

City Lord Ye Baili chuckled: "Haste makes waste! This is their home field, they want to prove themselves to us too much.

But they overestimated the state of mind of those three alchemists of the Heng Family; they are just three wet-behind-the-ears yellow-haired kids.

Refining pills quietly might be okay, but wanting to stand out only leads to the opposite!"

Ye Xiaoyao sneered: "I'm afraid such a family is beyond saving!"

At this time, the thin alchemist in front spoke: "Fifth round examination, Gold Crushing Pill. This pill can repair bone injuries for cultivators from the Innate Realm to the Qi Condensing Realm after fighting with others! Begin!"

The alchemists of the various families on the platform immediately began refining.

Time passed second by second.

Some pill furnaces already had medicinal fragrance wafting out.

At this time, some people suddenly hurried over from afar, whispering into the ears of the heads of the various families.

Old Master Heng Xiu, Heng Wei, and others all turned pale.

And the City Lord, Xiao Nantian, Li Ruhai, and others looked at each other and deliberately said loudly: "Just received news, Heng De of the Heng Family was ambushed and is dying, his son Heng Xian carried him back to the Heng Family, spilling blood all the way!

Father-son love is deep, truly moving!

This City Lord also has faults, lacking control over the security around Donglan City!"

It sounded like he was very regretful and self-blaming, but in reality, his intentions were very malicious.

People from other families couldn't help but laugh in low voices.

The Xue family group almost reached a climax; this feeling was like flying in the sky...

The three Heng Family alchemists on the platform were already nervous, and being mocked like this, they all blew up their furnaces!

"Boom," three explosions spread in all directions.

The Heng Family's fifth round pill examination was a complete failure!

"Hahaha..." The people from the various families all around finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft—" Old Master Heng Xiu spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Father!"

"Patriarch!"

The Heng Family camp was in a commotion.

The three Heng Family alchemists on the platform were covered in gray dust, kneeling at the edge of the platform, their faces devoid of any blood.

"How pitiful!" The Seventh Princess Jiang Ziyi beside Alchemist Mo sighed.

Old Mo said indifferently: "In the cultivation world, there is no pity; if you can't do it, you can't do it, don't pay attention to it!

This Ye Family alchemist Ye Zilong on the platform has refined another high-grade pill.

He is a good seedling."

"This Ye Family really has quite a few talents!"

Jiang Ziyi said, turning to look at Ye Xiaoyao, just in time to meet Ye Xiaoyao's gaze.

Both of their faces flushed red.

"Hum—"

At this time, the Ye Family alchemist Ye Zilong on the platform patted open the pill furnace, and indeed it was a golden high-grade Gold Crushing Pill, drawing exclamations all around.

Subsequently, the Gold Crushing Pills of other family alchemists were produced one after another, with varying quality.

The three alchemists beside Old Mo went on stage to check them one by one, and then counted the results.

After Old Mo got the results, he was silent for a moment, then stood up and looked around, saying: "The fifth round Gold Crushing Pill examination is over! I will announce the final results directly!

The top four are, in order, the Ye, Xiao, Li, and Sun families!

Fifth place is the Xue Family, sixth place is the Zhang Family...

Eighteenth place is the Ge Family!

As for the host, the Heng Family, fifteenth place overall, very regrettable!"

He paused here.

Except for the Heng Family camp, it was dead silent.

Other families cheered and jumped for joy.

Old Mo said again: "Ye Zilong of the Ye Family, Xiao Chumo of the Xiao Family, go to the Pill Refining Alliance tomorrow for the examination!

If everyone has no objections, I announce that this year's Donglan City Pill Medicine Assembly is..."

Before the word "over" could be spoken, a clear and firm voice suddenly came from afar: "Isn't it a bit early to end?"

"Wow..."

Everyone looked over.

They saw a handsome youth wearing white blood-stained clothes coming.

Although his body was mottled with blood, his gaze was very steady, and facing the gaze of nearly a thousand people, his pace was calm and composed.

Just this state of mind alone made people feel very surprised!

"Heng Xian?"

Heng Xiu, Heng Wei, and a group of Heng Family elders couldn't help but sigh; is this kind of occasion for fooling around? Is it not chaotic enough?

"Heng Xian?"

The Xue Jiaojiao family gritted their teeth; this bastard dares to show up at this time?

In the Sun Family camp, Sun Bufan, who had been listless, had bright eyes: "Master Xian is showing off at a high level!"

The others from the Ye, Xiao, Li, and Sun families were all surprised.

Although this spendthrift Heng Xian had some reputation, it wasn't enough for everyone to know him,

especially geniuses like Ye Xiaoyao, Xiao Qiyun, and Li Lingxiao, who didn't bother to look at him at all!

At this time, the Seventh Princess Jiang Ziyi also asked curiously: "Who is this youth? Why did he run over covered in blood?"

Old Mo was also confused and shouted: "Who are you, youth?"

Heng Xian had already walked under the platform, facing everyone's gaze, cupping his hands in salute: "Unworthy, the legitimate son of the Heng Family's second branch, Heng Xian!"

Ho!

Eighteen p!

Many people suddenly realized!

However, wasn't this guy's father ambushed and dying? What is he doing here?

Old Mo frowned: "What do you mean by what you just said? Considering you are young, I will give you a chance to explain!"

Heng Xian looked at the three Heng Family alchemists on the platform, then looked at everyone under the platform, and said: "This pill refining assembly, I don't know about others, but for our three Heng Family alchemists, it is very unfair!"

Old Mo's pupils shrank, his voice turning cold: "What do you mean by this? Questioning the Pill Refining Alliance?"

Heng Wei in the Heng Family camp not far away couldn't help but scold: "Heng Xian! Don't mess around, get down!"

A group of Heng Family elders were also full of anger.

Heng Xian couldn't be bothered to pay attention, walked onto the pill refining platform step by step, and turned to Old Mo: "My meaning is very simple! The three Heng Family alchemists did not exert their true strength!

Their true level is actually very easy to refine high-grade pills!

And there is no chance of failure! Just now it was just too much pressure and too nervous!"

One sentence left the surroundings in silence.

High-grade pills just like that? No chance of failure? Can you really brag?

Even the high-grade alchemist adults of the "Pill Refining Alliance" wouldn't dare to guarantee this, right?

Old Master Heng Xiu couldn't help it either: "Get down, go take care of your father!"

Heng Xian still ignored him, but quietly looked at Old Mo, and even the City Lord, Xiao Nantian, Li Ruhai, and the group!

This confidence and composure, appearing on a notorious evil young master, made everyone feel very uncomfortable!

Old Mo said coldly: "At the Pill Medicine Assembly, there are no angry words or childish words; anyone who speaks must be responsible!"

Heng Xian smiled: "That's natural! Old gentleman, let's make a bet, dare you?"

"Bet? Bet on what?" Old Mo asked.

Heng Xian said like pointing out the country: "Give the three Heng Family alchemists another chance! I bet that their three consecutive furnaces of pills will all be of high-grade quality!

A total of nine high-grade quality pills, refined at once!

If I lose, my Heng Family is willing to be eighteenth place and donate one million low-quality spirit crystals to the Pill Refining Alliance branch!

If I win, the Heng Family is first this time! Dare you?"

Old Mo was stunned!

The black crowd in the audience looked at each other.

This damn mysterious confidence!

A huge gamble!

Is this youth a madman or a genius?
