Chapter 1374: Rare Immortal Pill

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The first round ended and the vast majority of people were eliminated. All of them returned to their seats and were clearly disappointed.

Only a total of 130 participants still remained.

For the immortal-foundation realm, there were people of all levels, but the majority were at either the seventh, eighth or ninth level. For the immortal kings, all of the participants were initial-stage immortal kings. After all, if someone did break through to mid-stage immortal king, that person could already become an elder of one of the mountain peaks.

For the Pill Lords of the respective peaks, all of them were peak-level immortal kings while the lord of the Unaging Immortal Mountains was the Unaging Immortal Emperor, an initial-stage immortal emperor.

"Next, the participants can unleash their creativity freely. However, you all only have three chances to fail. If pill creation fails despite three attempts, you all will be eliminated. As for the ingredients and what kind of pill you want to create, it would depend solely on your refining abilities. After the pill concoction is a success, we will determine the grade of the created pill and rank you accordingly. Regardless of the immortal-foundation or immortal-level, you will be rewarded if you are in the top ten. If you are in the top three, you will be able to gain an immortal pill created by our ancestor."

The Pill Lord of the main peak laughed. Undoubtedly, this batch of participants were all elites. But for the ultimate winner, the Pill Lord was confident that it would be a disciple of the main peak.

The expressions of the participants turned heavy, they understood that the main show would be up next. Although it can't be said that their futures will be brilliantly bright, according to the past banquets, the prizes for the winners had never disappointed.

"Begin!" The Pill Lord announced. The spectators of the various major powers all observed the participants. If someone outstanding appeared and they were not from their sect or clan, it was possible to get the juniors of their clan to form a good connection with these people. In the future when these talented seedlings become a part of the upper echelons of the Unaging Immortal Mountains, a cooperative relationship between both parties would then be easier to form.

Who doesn't wish to form connections with a pill concoction power?

This time, every one of the participants had already made their preparations. The ingredients for pill concoctions were much more compared to the previous round. All sorts of rare and valuable ingredients could be seen, especially for the immortal king participants who were preparing to concoct a seventh-grade immortal pill.

"Isn't that dragon beard?" An expert pointed towards Xue Qingyang as his eyes gleamed with sharpness. Using such a valuable ingredient to concoct pills was truly luxurious. The price of concocting high-grade pills was truly extremely terrifying. If the pill concoction failed, all the ingredients would go to waste without a doubt.

"Some of those ingredients must have been prepared by their clans. Those with no background can only earn the ingredients by themselves. At this point of time, one's background will become a critical factor." Many people mused silently. Although the competition seemed fair, there was no way to ensure absolute fairness. Everyone understood this logic.

Everyone was more cautious compared to the previous round. This time, it wasn't a test of speed, and the test didn't specify which pill to concoct either. What the participants needed to do was to unleash their full abilities with pill concoction and create the highest grade immortal pill they were capable of in order to get a good ranking.

The temperature in the surroundings instantly soared but luckily since this place was extremely vast, there was still plenty of space between the participants. However, even so, for some with low cultivations, they were forced to circulate their immortal energy to resist the heat of the flames.

Whiffs of pill fragrance unceasingly permeated the atmosphere. Although the pills weren't formed yet, the fragrance of the medical herbs being refined could already be smelt.

Flames of all colors danced about, causing one's eyes to be dazzled. The qi flow of the atmosphere was absorbed into each furnace. This was especially evident for those concocting immortal-king pills. The qi flow of laws could clearly be seen, crazily gushing into their furnaces as tiny explosions rang out within.

"To think that pill concoction can be so wondrous to watch." Someone sighed in a low voice.

"Truly, an eye-opening experience. For these pills that were being concocted now, if they are successful in concoction, the price in the market outside would definitely be staggeringly high."

Other than being a little surprised, Qin Wentian didn't think too much about it. His gaze was still on Mo Qingcheng. Upon seeing beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, as well as the redness of exhaustion on her face, even more gazes were turned to her, appreciating this - another kind of beauty.

A pure and holy light enveloped her while the shadow of a fairy appeared fully behind her, kneading the ball of nine-colored flame. Qin Wentian quietly admired his wife as he waited patiently.

Immortals were all people with patience, let alone in such an important and grand event like this.

"RUMBLE!" A thunderous sound rang out. The gazes of everyone turned over only to see the furnace of a participant emitted black smoke. After that, a look of disappointment appeared on the face of that participant. Although the success rate of concocting a high-graded immortal pill was pretty low, everyone still hoped that they would be able to succeed on their first try.

The Unaging Immortal Mountain was a major pill-concoction power and had plenty of alchemic technique that could increase the success rate. Once their talent was noticed by the upper echelons, the participants would then gain more highly-skilled pill concoction techniques in the future.

Next, more sounds of explosions rang out. There were actually more failures, causing everyone to feel a little surprised. However, the elders of the Unaging Immortal Mountains didn't feel strange. It was as though this was an extremely normal scene to them.

Time slowly flowed by. Finally, a beam of light shot up into the sky. One of the furnaces was producing this beam of golden light. A heavy medicinal fragrance drifted out from this furnace, causing the spectators to be mesmerized by the scent.

A moment later, a resplendent golden-colored immortal pill erupted from the heart of the furnace and floated in the air.

"Gold Pill of Laws." The elders of the Unaging Immortal Mountains nodded. This pill was a sixth-graded one. Success would cause golden light to illuminate the area around the pill. It's quality was pretty high as well. That immortal-foundation disciple who concocted it heaved a sigh of relief before turning his attention to his fellow disciples who were still in the midst of pill concocting.

Next, there are still some failures, but there were also people who passed.

"Red Fire Immortal Pill." At this moment, a blazing red pill radiating fearsome fire law energy appeared. The temperature around it was scorchingly hot. If one consumed this pill, the attribute energies they are proficient in would temporarily be converted to fire-attributed law energy. This was greatly beneficial for those who used fire-attributed arts or techniques, allowing the might unleashed to soar explosively.

"Seems like the influence of an astral soul to stellar martial cultivators, is and all-around comprehensive one. Even for pill concoction, one's attribute energy plays a main role as well." Qin Wentian mused silently as he spectated. The kind of law-energy one was proficient in, and the strength of it would all be determined by one's astral souls. With regards to what law-attribute one was proficient in, the attribute of the pills they concocted would usually match that.

At this moment, a startling energy filled the air. Qin Wentian turned his glance over only to see Xue Qingyang completed his pill. His pill was a golden yellow yet it radiated hints of king aura. Faint sounds of dragon roars could be heard, tyrannical to the extreme. The law energies in that area were churning wildly as this pill was born.

"Dragon Emperor Pill, a supreme-tier pill among the seventh-grade. Excellent." The Pill Lord of the main peak sighed in admiration, praising Xue Qingyang.

What a dazzling scene, with marvelous sights all about in the pill concoction field. Although many among the spectators were characters of major powers and were even immortal kings, alchemists had always been extremely rare in comparison in the immortal realms. This banquet was truly a grand occasion, none of the spectators felt that they have made a wasted trip here.

Qin Wentian's gaze turned back to Mo Qingcheng. As more and more people completed their pills, Mo Qingcheng focused even more. The temperature was exceedingly high, even her sweat was evaporated before it could drip down on the ground. The state she was in caused Qin Wentian to feel some worry.

Only to see that now, Mo Qingcheng's countenance had turned red and she seemed to be in agony. This caused Qin Wentian to be extremely worried. Mo Qingcheng's master was looking at her too. She mumbled, "What is Qingcheng trying to do?"

"The ingredients she prepared seemed to be for a soul pill. Senior sister I initially thought that you wanted to let Qingcheng test her limits so you told her to create this extremely rare type of pill. Isn't this your intention?" A woman beside asked.

"No, I have never interfered in her pill concoction decisions at all, only hoping she would do her best." Mo Qingcheng's master spoke. At this moment, a sound rang out. Mo Qingcheng actually coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. Her blood then transformed into strands of blood essence before entering her furnace.

"Qingcheng!" Qin Wentian's fists were clenched. He could see how pale Mo Qingcheng was, and how serious her expression was.

"Has this lass gone mad? She wants to concoct a Blood Refining Soul Pill." Mo Qingcheng's master instantly knew what Mo Qingcheng wanted to concoct. This pill was an extremely rare pill but it has no benefits toward one's cultivation. This was why she had no idea what Mo Qingcheng wanted to concoct earlier.

"Blood essence to refine her longing for a person. Senior sister, this little doll…" Mo Qingcheng's aunt-master was also stunned. She glanced at Qin Wentian. Was this because of this young man? Who was he? Why is he qualified for Mo Qingcheng to do such a thing?

"Pu…" Mo Qingcheng coughed out more blood consecutively for nine times. Her hands folded ancient seals as her aura fluctuated wildly as she focused on the pill concoction. For some reason, her aura seemed to be weakening, growing fainter and fainter.

Many were stunned by Mo Qingcheng's actions. Numerous gazes turned to her, especially for the experts of the Unaging Immortal Mountains. When they knew what pill she intended to concoct, all their eyes glimmered with sharpness.

The number one beauty of the Unaging Immortal Mountains, who was she doing this for?

Finally the ball of nine-colored flame entered her furnace completely. A resplendent light flared out nine times, as an immortal pill erupted from the heart of the furnace. This pill resembled the heart of a lotus, a thing of extreme beauty.

Mo Qingcheng's steps were a little unstable. She was in a very weak state now but she still revealed a smile when she stared at the immortal pill. Fortunately, she has succeeded.

At this moment, Qiu Mo also completed his pill. When he saw the pill Mo Qingcheng created, his heart actually trembled. To think that this woman would have such depth of emotions.

"Qingcheng, can you bestow this pill to me? I'm willing to protect you for all my life." Qiu Mo spoke to Mo Qingcheng, his words causing shock in the hearts of everyone. The news of Mo Qingcheng's husband coming here to spectate had already been spread. Many people knew about this and this time around, the intention of Mo Qingcheng creating such a pill could be guessed at by them as well.

But nobody expected that even now, Qiu Mo has yet to give up. In fact, he even took this chance to confess to Mo Qingcheng.

"Haha, she truly is a good little girl. If she can get together with our Qiu Mo, my Qiu Clan would welcome her grandly." At this moment, an elder of the Qiu Clan who was sitting beside the main peak's Pill Lord laughed, causing the expressions of everyone to turn even more fascinating.

Being able to sit in that position indicated that the elder's status was very high. A person of such status was actually helping Qiu Mo out so blatantly in front of the public.

"Qingcheng, if you really get together as a couple with Qiu Mo of my main peak, it can be considered a beautiful tale as well." The Pill Lord of the main peak smiled. He didn't know about Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian. As the Pill Lord of the main peak, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to gossips among disciples. Qiu Mo was his beloved disciple and since an elder of the Qiu Clan already spoke, the Pill Lord of the main peak was naturally more than happy to agree along.
