The total tally of the three kinds of spirit medicines’ results reached a high score of 17.3 points.
One should not look down on these 0.3 points. To Song Qiyang, it was absolutely a massive breakthrough.
Dao Development could not continuously improve, drawing out even more law fragments just by cultivating.
After being about to guide 50%, every half a point of improvement was incredibly hard.
Song Qiyang only achieved a tiny bit of improvement after putting in god knows how much hard work.
Furthermore, he had merely only reached 17 points once as well.
Song Qiyang’s results immediately drew a series of praises.
“Sigh, he’s the Three-star disciples’ number one person in the end! Song Qiyang’s strength, really nothing to say. Losing to Ning Siyu previously was merely capsizing in a drain.”
“Yeah, people said that he might reach Head Elder’s height in the future. I think this statement isn’t false.”
“Such complex spirit medicines, yet he could actually even reach 17.3 points, simply a freak!”
…
Feeling everyone’s idolizing gazes, Song Qiyang felt comfortable to the extreme.
Especially after sweetness that came after suffering, this glory was even sweeter.
On the grandstand, Head Elder smiled and said to Xuan Yu, “Second Elder, 17.3 points, wonder if Siyu that lass can reach such a high score or not?”
The moment these words came out, everyone’s gazes turned to Xuan Yu.
Provocation!
This was a blatant provocation!
They very much wanted to see whether or not the benign and uncontentious Second Elder would fight back or not.
It was just that in their view, for Second Elder to want to win, it was far too difficult.
17.3 points was already an exceedingly high score.
Second Elder’s eyelids raised slightly, finally opening his eyes. But outside of everyone’s expectations, he looked at Ye Yuan and asked, “Elder Ye, what do you think?”
What the hell was this?
Your disciple, you asked what he thought?
Could it be that you did not even know your own disciple’s standard?
This play was acted really fake!
However, Xuan Yu actually really did not know what was Ning Siyu’s situation right now.
It had merely been around ten days since Ning Siyu came back, but these ten days already made Xuan Yu feel at a loss.
The improvement was too great!
However, whether Ning Siyu only improved in fire controlling arts or had improvements in all aspects, he really did not know.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “17.3 points? Heh heh, getting this score and he also dare to come out and posture? Still such a high score? Sigh … Head Elder, your ability in teaching disciples can’t make it!”
The grandstand was deathly silent, being struck dumb with amazement by Ye Yuan’s great ridiculing art.
Head Elder’s ability to teach disciples could not make it?
It was still their first time hearing it!
In reality, Head Elder’s ability of teaching disciples, even Second Elder could not hold a candle to him.
His disciples basically all suppressed Second Elder’s lineage, no matter at which stage.
Now, there was actually someone who said that Head Elder’s ability in teaching disciples was lacking!
Rou Xu’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, “Elder Ye, I’m really somewhat doubting if you’re really an expert, or are you deliberately talking big to impress people? To a Three-star Alchemy God, being able to reach 15 points is already very impressive. Getting 17.3 points is already ranked among the best in all previous sessions of Pill Tower competition. Do you think I know how to teach disciples or not?”
Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, “Head Elder, Song Qiyang offended this elder that day. This elder minded my identity and was disdainful to take action to teach him a lesson. But it doesn’t mean that this elder can allow a puny Three-star Alchemy God to bully! This elder doesn’t have an apprentice for the time being and asked Second Elder to lend me a disciple to be taught for a few days. No other intention, it’s just to let this disciple of yours know that there is always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven. Let him know that the dignity of elders cannot be provoked!”
“Hiss …”
The elders all drew a cold breath, not expecting that Ye Yuan actually said such words.
His meaning was that Ning Siyu only became so impressive through his teachings?
But seriously, the improvement of Ning Siyu’s fire controlling art could simply use hop, skip, and jump to describe.
Except … what did the phrase puny Three-star Alchemy God mean?
Said it like you were not a Three-star Alchemy God!
Rou Xu did not believe Ye Yuan’s words at all and said with a cold smile, “Is that so? Your meaning is that the disciple I taught for several hundred years is inferior to the one you taught for a few days? Young man, don’t talk too big when boasting, in case you can’t back it up when the time comes!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Head Elder rest assured. The words that I, Ye Yuan, say, can definitely be backed up!”
Rou Xu felt that Ye Yuan was simply a shit-stirring stick!
There was no way to chat!
Running into a lunatic when posturing, how can others still posture?
“Humph! Not making any sense!” Head Elder snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
Lu Yi and the rest perked their ears up and listened below, each and every single one of them feeling incomparably liberated.
Elder Ye was indeed as domineering as before!
When you all, these frogs at the bottom of a well, witness Elder Ye’s true strength, wait to stare dumbfoundedly with your jaws slack!
Upon thinking of Head Elder’s expression after being defeated by Ye Yuan, the few people all could not resist revealing a knowing smile.
The Dao Development was still continuing. Sure enough, after Song Qiyang, no performance that took people’s breath away occurred anymore.
The low ones were 10 or 11 points. Occasionally, a decent would one appear, it was also at most just 14 or 15 points.
But the more to the back, the points also gradually became higher.
After all, those able to slaughter their way out from the first round and take a high ranking were all powerful people.
Originally, Song Qiyang should also be ranked at the back. But because of the first round’s accident, that was why he was placed at the front.
After Song Qiyang, the highest score was Ning Siyu’s third senior brother. But he was also just 16.3 points, an entire point worse than Song Qiyang!
This disparity was already not small.
Ning Siyu’s third senior brother was second place, which was also the second last to leave the field.
There was still a last one remaining, that was Ning Siyu.
If Ning Siyu could not surpass 17.3, then Song Qiyang would be the second round’s champion.
For a moment, everyone’s gazes all landed on Ning Siyu.
Ning Siyu sucked in a deep breath, shattering the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng with a palm.
Chapter 1590. Beat Time Control |
Tap!Just as Ning Siyu shattered the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng, Ye Yuan’s index finger lightly tapped on the table in front of him.
Ning Siyu’s peripheral vision was on Ye Yuan’s fingers all along.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s movement at this time, her body instinctively started moving.
Ning Siyu’s movements were far from as flashy as Song Qiyang’s. It even seemed somewhat clumsy.
When everyone saw this scene, they could not help being rather astounded.
Could this kind of clumsy technique obtain a good result?
“Huhu, is this lass here to be funny? This kind of technique, still want to beat me?” Song Qiyang laughed in spi
te of himself.
Tap, tap, tap!
Ye Yuan’s finger knocked on the table three times again. Ning Siyu’s technique suddenly changed.
The law fragments emitted from the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng actually started to pour into the Dao Development Instrument in a steady stream.
That deacon originally also thought that Ning Siyu could not make it this round. But at this time, his pupils suddenly shrunk, looking at Ning Siyu in disbelief.
He was the closest to Ning Siyu and could feel the aura of the law fragments.
Those law fragments actually did not dissipate much, with the vast majority entering the Dao Development Instrument.
Tap!
Tap, tap, tap, tap!
Tap, tap, tap!
Ye Yuan’s finger knocked on the table non-stop, the tempo changing irregularly.
From the view of outsiders, it was like Ye Yuan was tapping on the table out of sheer boredom.
But Ning Siyu followed Ye Yuan’s rhythm and changed her technique continuously.
The Dao Development Instrument’s scale climbed crazily!
Four points!
Five points!
Six points!
When it reached six points, it still had not stopped, rushing straight for seven points!
Everyone was stunned. What was with Ning Siyu’s strange technique?
Seven points, that was grandmaster-level!
Ning Siyu’s control over Dao Development already reached such an astonishing extent?
“Don’t reach seven points! Don’t reach seven points!
Song Qiyang shouted desperately in his heart, hoping that it could stop Ning Siyu.
However, Ning Siyu did not give him any chance at all, directly rushing up to seven points!
However, this was not over yet!
After shooting up to seven points, the rate of increase clearly slowed down. But it still climbed up bit by bit.
Finally, it stopped on the 7.3 scale line!
The whole place was silent. It lasted for a full five breaths before a wave of exclamations sounded out.
“7.3! This … This is too fake!”
“Could it be that Ning Siyu already reached the realm of grandmaster?”
“This is also too exaggerated! A Three-star Alchemy God actually guided out 73% of law fragments! Even for Four-star Alchemy Gods, not many can do it as well, right?”
…
The Dao Development’s score, the higher it went, the harder it was.
Especially after Dao Development reached 60%, even a single point more was also as hard as ascending to heaven.
Even if one broke through to Four-star Alchemy God, understanding of Alchemy Dao becoming more profound, it was also not possible for Dao Development to directly fly from 60% to 70% all of a sudden.
But Ning Siyu, she did it!
Astonishment was written all over Ruo Xu’s face. Originally, he still wanted to rely on Song Qiyang’s high score to viciously smack Ye Yuan’s face[1].
But now, Song Qiyang’s result was simply trash in front of Ning Siyu!
Xuan Yu’s shock was not the slightest bit less than Ruo Xu’s.
He could not resist asking Ye Yuan, “Elder Ye, you … How did you do it?”
However, Ye Yuan’s face was not happy at all. Instead, The expression seemed to be looking rather dissatisfied. He said, “This lass, to actually only draw out this bit. She really disappointed me this time!”
The group of elders revealed strange expressions on their faces. This guy was intentionally posturing, right?
7.3 points!
He actually found it little!
Actually, they did not know that Ye Yuan’s special training to Ning Siyu was specifically targeting this Pill Tower competition.
In ten days’ time, the things that could be done were too few. Of course, it was impossible to let Ning Siyu’s strength soar to such a terrifying level.
But if it was just targeting this competition, Ye Yuan could let Ning Siyu easily win.
This Dao Development, it was just guiding out the law fragments in a single spirit medicine. To Ye Yuan, there was not much difficulty.
Ning Siyu’s technique was all created by Ye Yuan, specifically used to guide the law fragments in spirit medicines.
This technique had a total of 100 seals, Ye Yuan made Ning Siyu practice these seals until she had it at her fingertips.
As for how to apply, she did not need to worry about it.
Then, he agreed on a secret code with Ning Siyu. Ning Siyu just had to deploy the seals according to his rhythm and she could naturally draw out even more law fragments.
This was also just Ning Siyu. If it were Ye Yuan, if it was not 100%, it was at least above 95% too.
His understanding of Alchemy Dao was not what others could compare to at all.
Originally, according to Ye Yuan’s estimations, Ning Siyu should at least be above 75%. He did not expect that she would only achieve 73%. Hence, he was naturally unhappy.
As if sensing Ye Yuan’s dissatisfied faze, Ning Siyu spat her tongue out, looking embarrassed.
She knew that she made some minor problems earlier, that was why she did not meet Ye Yuan’s requirements.
The Dao Development continued, Ning Siyu seemed to have also gradually entered a state of concentration. The Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil’s performance was clearly much better than the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng.
Finally, the result of Ning Siyu’s Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil was 7.5!
Song Qiyang’s expression became uglier and uglier, his face burning hot. It was as if he was slapped by someone.
He was still brimming with confidence previously, thinking that this second round, he would win.
But now, his result was simply trash in front of Ning Siyu!
Looking at it now, every sentence he said earlier, every posturing he did, was all smacking his own face.
Very soon, the result of the Sovereign Rule Crape Myrtle also came out.
7.5!
Ning Siyu’s total score was 22.3 points!
Compared to Song Qiyang’s 17.3, it was a full five points higher!
What these five points represented was an insurmountable gap.
“Simply unbelievable, is this girl really Ning Siyu?”
“Is Elder Ye really so formidable? Only used a few days’ time and he taught Ning Siyu to such a level?”
“Head Elder’s lineage really had their faces swept to the ground this time.”
…
Ye Yuan looked at Ruo Xu with a smile that was not a smile and said, “Head Elder, wonder if this result can wind up the matter?”
Head Elder had a grim expression as he said, “Young man, don’t be so overbearing! You’ll suffer a big loss like this!”
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “Head Elder, seems like the one who’s overbearing isn’t me, right? I just became an elder and your disciple came up to bully. Why did it become me who’s overbearing now?”
Head Elder could not help choking and snorted coldly and said, “Young man, don’t get cocky too early! You and I, there’s still a contest!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I already can’t wait for it.”
The two people dealt a blow for a blow. All of the elders were silent like cicadas in winter.
This new elder was really too awesome.
Even Second Elder did not have this courage to talk to Head Elder like so, he actually dared!
As for whether or not Ye Yuan really had this ability, everyone still had a skeptical attitude.
If not seeing it with their own eyes, nobody would believe that a Three-star Alchemy God could win against Head Elder.
As for Ning Siyu, they were more inclined to believe that Second Elder recently found some tricks to teach disciples.
[1] Please take note that it’s supposed to be Ruo Xu, not Rou Xu, I made a typo. It will be reflected as Ruo Xu from this chapter onwards.
Chapter 1591. Un
dergo a Complete Change |
This third round was naturally competing on pill refinement.This round did not have any trickery to talk about. It was totally competing in raw power.
But Ye Yuan was not worried about Ning Siyu.
The current Ning Siyu was already no longer the past Ning Siyu.
She had experienced his Dao Realm pill refining several times altogether and also had his special training. If she could not refine a high-grade medicinal pill, then Ye Yuan would go and knock his head to death.
Of course, it was also that Ning Siyu had astonishing comprehension ability. That was why Ye Yuan would choose her.
If it were others, even if he let them observe his Dao Realm pill refinement, wanting to make rapid progress within a short time could not be done no matter what.
One had to know, the first time Ning Siyu saw Ye Yuan’s Dao Realm pill refinement, she could already refine high-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill.
“Qiyang, this round is your forte. You definitely can’t lose anymore.”
Ruo Xu could not sit still anymore. Making use of the resting interval, he personally went down the grandstand and called Song Qiyang to his side, personally instructing.
A hint of panic flashed across in Song Qiyang’s eyes. He did not think that he would lose so thoroughly today.
For so many years, his eyes had always been at the top of his head, totally looking down on alchemists in the same rank.
But now, he was utterly defeated at the hands of a little girl.
He started to doubt life!
“Master, I … the first two were also my forte! Furthermore, the second round, I even practiced before in advance. But in the end …” Song Qiyang said rather dispiritedly.
Ruo Xu’s face fell and he said, “Although I didn’t catch any evidence, the first two rounds, they definitely have suspicions of winning through unorthodox ways! But the third round is honest-to-goodness pill refinement. That punk absolutely can’t make Ning Siyu this lass undergo a complete change! You don’t need to think too much, this third round, as long as you perform as per usual, you’ll win for sure. Make sure not to be affected by before!”
Song Qiyang sucked in a deep breath and said with a nod, “I know what I should do, Master!”
“You know my ass! If you also lose this third round, don’t call me your master anymore in the future!”
