223 THE ARRIVAL OF TENG PATRIARCH
“Grade 4” The Keeper spoke up in an excited voice. He turned around to face Long Tao and spoke up:
“I congratte the young lord for bing a grade-4 alchemist. The first concoction was sessful and you can now start practicing with level 4 recipes.” The Keeper’s voice was filled with tion. It hadn’t even been three years since Long Tao got his hands on the artifact and he was already a level 4 alchemist.
“You have the highest potential out of all the previous crimson lords in terms of alchemy.” The Keeper spoke with a ttering tone.
“What was the highest level a crimson lord reached in his life?” Long Tao didn’t expect the Crimson lord to have stopped at level 4.
“I said you have the highest potential, not the highest level reached. The Crimson Lord who had the highest achievement in alchemy is way beyond your current level. You shouldn’t think too much about that.”
“In contrast, I believe it is better if you talked about the benefits you could reap after stepping into level 4 alchemist.” The Keeper’s sentence was followed by the appearance of the alchemy hall master.
“I congratte my lord for this achievement. Stepping into level four of alchemy results in the opening of multiple functions within the artifact. You now have ess to the soul refining tower, which can be utilized for training your soul power. After stepping into the level 4 alchemist, you need to train your soul constantly.”
“The second prize is the opening of the pill library. The pill library was created by the previous lords to store all the pill recipes they had obtained during their cultivation. Each floor corresponds to a level of alchemists.”
“How many floors are present?”
.....
“The information regarding that is not yet essible to you. You need to grow stronger in the future to know about that.”
“The third gift is a set of cauldrons which are manufactured by the previous lords. The cauldron presented to you shouldn’t be able to apany you until level 6.”
“It also opens the functionality of the throne room to provideprehension regarding pill refining. You can nowprehend the various techniques rted to alchemy from the throne room.”
“The road from now on is quite difficult to walk on. The efforts required to continue on the path of cultivation would increase with every step you take. You need to be prepared for the future.”
Long Tao nodded his head in agreement. The rewards gained were quite alluring, but given the throne allowed him to have these rewards indicated how difficult the path was going to be.
................
The appearance of the pill was apanied by a sweet fragrance spreading throughout the hall. The elders who were watching the scene couldn’t help but rise from their chairs.
“Level 4 pill. The boy is officially a level 4 alchemist. What a monster.” Hugemotion spread throughout the stadium resulting in a huge wave of uproar.
“I knew he was going to win the round. I’ve always had faith in Lu Ming.”
“So says the guy who was berating him just a moment ago. Have you no shame?”
“Shut up you all. We need to focus on Lu Ming. The participants havepleted refining their pills. The elder is here.”
The elder stepping up calmed the stadium down. Although he was thrown into a trance for a moment there, he was able to recover and came forwards to announce the result.
“I request the participants toe out with their pills.”
Although the audience gets to watch the scene within the rooms, the participants were unaware of each other’s performance.
..............
When Teng Huanpleted the formation of his pill and sessfully refined it, the cauldron popped up and gave out a singr blue pill. The aroma was quite calming and so were the attributes. The pill was called the soul calming pill and was the highest level-3 recipe present within the Teng family.
He was the only person within the younger generation who had managed to sessfully refine a pill like that. He was ted by the view of the lustrous spherical ball.
“Let’s see how you win this time, Lu Ming.” He stored the pill in the jade box provided and proceeded out of his room.
.............
“participants are toe forward and showcase the pill with a brief description of its properties.”
One after one the participants stepped up and started to show their refined pills. All the pills refined were medium-grade level 3 or above.
“Green hue Pill, properties are boosting up recovery power by fluxing a huge amount of wood energy into the consumer’s body. There are no side effects and could help an advance, in general, to recover his wounds within half the time.” The 3rd ranked person spoke.
Teng Huan couldn’t help but smirk at this disy. Although the green hue pill was good, it failed topare with his soul calming pill. He looked towards Lu Ming, just to find him recovering his expended strength with his eyes closed.
‘Didn’t even flinch at this view. Let’s see how long this arrogance of yourssts.’ Teng Huan said to himself. He once again moved towards Lu Ming.
“Does brother Ming want to disy his pill first?”
“It is the second time you have provoked me and the turn of events are exactly like thest time. If I decided to show my pill first, you wouldn’t even have the courage to showcase yours. So, just go ahead.”
Teng Huan couldn’t help but clench his teeth. He moved up the stage and took out his pill.
“Soul calming pill. Advanced level 3 pill with the properties to help a cultivator recover his soul power. It could help improve the recovery rate to double its speed, and there are no side effects.”
The audience did show some interest, but Teng Huan found something to be amiss. The expression of the audience didn’t match his expectations. It was as if they had seen something better than this. He stepped down, paving the way for Lu Ming.
When Lu Ming went up the stage and took out the pill, a st of sweet smell spread throughout the stadium. The Pill which surfaced was not only extremely lustrous but the aura it was radiating overwhelmed the whole stadium.
“Vitality Pill, initial grade-4. Can help a Qi King recover his blood essence, soul force, and even Qi. Help temper the body and remove impurities. No side effects.” It was not until Lu Ming spoke that Teng Huan realized how pathetic his earlier words were.
............
Sometimeter-
The elder in charge stepped up and began to announce the results.
“The third position goes to Peng Xiaoxia of the Peng Family. You are to visit the treasure hall to im your prize.”
“The second position is held by Teng Huan. Sul calming pill, advance level-3. You will be rewarded with an additional set of treasures.” He gave out a small ring which contained the treasures which he was talking about.
The moment had finally arrived.
Lu Ming stepped up and waited for his name to be called out.
“Lu Ming, level-4 alchemist. Vitality pill, initial grade-4. You are hereby crowned as the champion of thepetition. You are hereby allowed to get both the treasures mentioned earlier, along with a special skill for Pill refining of your choice and the permission to enter the Land of fire.”
Lu Ming couldn’t help but be ted about the fact that he achieved the objective he had set for himself. It was time to reap the rewards. He was just about to go up and receive his reward when an invisible pressure spread throughout the stadium. It was the pressure extruded by an emperor level cultivator.
“Lu Ming is hereby arrested for the killing of Teng Family members.” It was none other than Teng Luo, the Teng family patriarch
