The Greatest Martial Arts Cultivator

Chapter. 12. Refining Pills

Everyone in the audience was calmly looking forward to the final battle, enthusiasm showing on every face. Yes! Every joy is unattractive unless it reaches the peak of excitement.

A final match that brought together the two best talents of the younger generation from Xia Yu City's two different families was extremely rare.

A match like this can only wait for every four years. In a few breaths, the Patriarch of the Xia Family shot up to the top of the arena and asked the two participants to come up to the arena. He repeated the explanation of the basic rules.

In this final, both Zhang Ceng and Jin Tengsin both took out swords. They wanted to entertain the audience with their respective Swordsmanship demonstrations. Pride was clearly visible on both of their faces, today the main stage belonged to both of them.

“Brother Zhang! Look at the sword!” Jin Tengsin's scream rang out, he immediately attacked nimbly.

Not staying still, Zhang Ceng parried with a sword. The battle between the two of them was exciting and balanced, their cultivation levels were also balanced. The fight this time is really a battle of endurance and agility.

Zhang Ceng took out his swordsmanship moves. The Zhang Family's swordsmanship, known as the Formless Swordsmanship, consisted of fifteen moves. Formless based on the movement of a cobra suddenly pecking, as well as a sword while parrying a sudden stab.

Every move is accurate and precise, this Formless Swordsmanship is a change from the Cobra's Blowing Technique. Every hand movement was changed in a sword style, every blow turned into a lethal strike at every point it was targeted.

It is true that every word they say is kind to the mouth, but in reality, each of these Great Families has its own ambitions and desires. So even in this fight, both Zhang Ceng and Jin Tengsin were both fierce, and no one held back.

Formless Swordsmanship moves in all directions. Things that became very troublesome for Jin Tengsin. He squeezed the inner power and every move of the Swordsmanship was changed. His sword formed sword shadows in all directions.

Anyone who fought would be confused as to where the real sword was, and where the fake one, the Jin Family's Swordsmanship, was famous for its Shadow Swordsmanship. In every sword shadow, there is a real sword.

From the beginning, Jin Tengsin's movements were more vicious and cruel, and besides, Jin Tengsin's endurance was stronger than Zhang Ceng's.

After a hundred frenzied battle moves and sword air spreading everywhere, beads of sweat had also started to fall from the two of them. Jin Tengsin's breathing was a little more regular when compared to Zhang Ceng's.

“Okay! Now try Brother Zhang to feel my punch.” A wolf grin was evident on his face.

Without waiting for Zhang Ceng's reply, Jin Tengsin moved and hit hard, Zhang Ceng did not stay still. He was also expelling his inner strength, which he fought hard against.

It is common knowledge for martial arts fighters that every hard blow will cause both of them to be injured. The two of them were thrown two spears back, a battle of equal strength.

However, b****y blood and paleness appeared on Zhang Ceng's face, his endurance was inferior to Jin Tengsin.

The Patriarch of the Xia Family as judges stopped the fight and Jin Tengsin was declared the winner of the competition and gave Zhang Ceng some medication.

“Congratulations to brother Jin for winning this competition,” said Zhang Ceng.

“The Zhang family are all talented seedlings, no need for pills for realm promotion! Ha ha ha! ...” continued Zhang Ceng, slightly angry and covering up the embarrassment of losing with a loud laugh.

“Losing is losing, there's no need for many excuses,” Jin Tengsin replied briefly. He didn't care about Zhang Ceng and then continued to dash out of the arena

The organizing committee announced that the auction would be held three days later.

“Sister Murong! What are the special conditions for participating in the auction?” Yuan Liong asked Murong Qiu.

His breath and facial expression were already looking better after nearly six more incense sticks of cultivating to recover, the fight and the final commotion he had ignored.

“Brother Yuan wants to participate in the auction, right?” Murong Qiu replied.

“It's actually not that difficult, we just need to get an invitation card from the auction house. Or we can also show the amount of our wealth to the organizers,” continued Murong Qiu, explaining.

“Wow! I don't have an invitation card, either … it's impossible for me to show the amount of my fortune,” thought Yuan Liong.

“If we can auction something worthy according to the auction house, then we can automatically participate in the auction,” Murong Qiu said, breaking the problem in Yuan Liong's mind.

“What is Brother Yuan daydreaming about right? Is it true that you want to have a look at the auction?” Murong Qiu railed against Yuan Liong with various questions. Even though Yuan Liong hadn't said anything yet, Murong Qiu has already spoken at length.

“Yes! It's not enough if you haven't been to the auction,” replied Yuan Liong.

“Liong Gege! We will participate too, grandpa got two invitation cards from the City Lord.” Suddenly Nalan Jieruo joined in on the conversation.

“Is that true!” Yuan Liong tried to confirm, but then it occurred to him that the two invitation cards were for Zhou's grandfather and granddaughter.

“That's enough! Just forget it! Gege will focus on self-healing alone.” Yuan Liong ended the conversation faintly.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Liong again shut himself in the room, this time no one dared to interfere, especially with his face pale from internal injuries.

Yuan Liong's desire to look around the auction became very big, on the grounds of self-recovery he could be free in space.

This time, he would be refining pills with the Alchemy Technique. He intended to concoct a Condensate Pill. Indeed this Condensate Pill was a very common pill, the only difference being the quality and realm of the pill itself.

For example; the pill that was the prize for the silat competition, the high-quality Earth Realm Condensate Pill. The pill became extremely valuable for Late Stage King Realm cultivators in order to be promoted to the Earth Realm.

Likewise with King Realm Condensate Pills, be it high quality or low quality, King Realm Pills would be of great use to Warrior Realm cultivators for promotion to the King Realm. The point of this Condensate Pill is that a very common pill is also very much needed.

Well, in that case, Yuan Liong was definitely a Sky Realm Alchemist. He would concoct a low-grade Sky Grade Condensate Pill.

The plan was that this pill would later be used as an auction item in Xia Yu City. He had not thought about the price, Yuan Liong only thought about the feasibility of the pill being accepted by the auction house or not.

Yuan Liong took out an Alchemy pot, then painted a non-permanent Flame Array on the room floor. He also prepared the main ingredients of the Condensate Pill, indeed these ingredients were not difficult for him.

The contents of his universe ring were extraordinary. It has been explained that Yuan Liong's universe ring is different from the other universe rings.

The most distinctive feature of the other universe rings will destroy the materials and goods in it if it has crossed hundreds of years. Yuan Liong's universe ring would not damage any items stored within it even though it crossed thousands of years.

Recently Yuan Liong also realized, that this ring can hide any item powered by lightning so that the item is not detected.

Yuan Liong arranged the order of pill ingredients, there were thousand-year ginseng root, demon essence crystal, white lotus essence, and snake bark.

He also arranged another ten ingredients for three trials.

Yuan Liong took a deep breath then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and gathered his spirits. After a few breaths, his hand movements turned into strange Array seals. A squeaking sound and a silver color were created. He threw all the ingredients at once without being separated.

Again his hands moved swiftly as the silver flames blazed, the Alchemy pot twirling, shaking. Yuan Liong's hands continued to move to arrange patterns and Arrays, controlling the pot movement of his hands like a lively and beautiful butterfly. It is very easy to tell but very difficult to put into practice.

Yuan Liong spent five hours on the first try, what a pity. The concoction failed in this experiment.
