"What is that?" Why is it so big? When
they saw the pill, everyone was shocked—it was actually a size larger than an adult's fist.
Usually, giant pills are only the size of a baby's fist, definitely not this big. Moreover, the pill was covered in a dark patch covered with centipede-like patterns, looking terrifying, nothing like the Hundred Paths Harmonizing Spirit Pill.
"Rumble...
Endless thunderbolts shot toward the pill like a raging storm, but Long Chen didn't defend at all, letting the lightning strike the pill.
To everyone's shock, runes lit up around the pill, and it actually fought against the heavenly tribulation. Lightning struck the pill, unleashing a sky full of lightning, shattering the lightning as well.
"Is this really a pill?"
People could hardly believe their eyes—it was a pitch-black iron ball. Although it carried the aura of a pill, there was no sign of its fluctuations—not even a pill spirit had appeared.
He saw a pitch-black sphere standing in the void, unmoved by the baptism of thunderous power.
Long Chen stood beside the pill, letting the thunderbolts fall on him as if he felt nothing. Ever since the last time he crossed the tribulation, Long Chen had been stabbed by Emperor Mo Li, and his internal organs had shattered.
After recondensing his organs, Long Chen found that his organs had become even stronger. Previously, he needed to resist the power of thunder to prevent them from invading his body and damaging his organs, but now, he felt nothing. He didn't know if this was a gift from Emperor Mo Li.
Such heavenly tribulations were nothing to Long Chen; in fact, for the Thunder Dragon, he didn't even have much desire to devour them. At this moment, the Thunder Dragon was also greedy; he couldn't even be bothered to devour thunder that wasn't strong enough.
Long Chen stood in the midst of the thunderstorm, hands behind his back, his clothes billowing, long hair flying, his face calm and composed, with an indescribable ease and grace.
"Suddenly realized, Long Chen isn't so annoying anymore. He's still quite handsome." A woman from the Divine Clan suddenly spoke.
As soon as he spoke, dozens of male disciples around her glared angrily, scaring her into quickly shutting up.
Even though they didn't like Long Chen, they had to admit that at this moment, he was very captivating, because all eyes were on him. There was not a trace of pretense about Long Chen, and he appeared so composed.
Previously, facing everyone's insults and ridicule, Long Chen had remained calm. Now, while everyone was shocked and shocked, he remained calm and unyielding, showing neither a trace of boasting nor a trace of pride.
This formed a stark contrast to Ye Qian, who had just refined the Hundred Paths Harmonious Resonance Spirit Pill—one was arrogant, the other silent and low-key, creating a strong visual impact.
Logically, this was the best time for Long Chen to strike back at those who mocked him, but he didn't say a word, as if he simply didn't care to do that.
The disciples of the Divine Pill Hall who had been mocking and cursing before now felt their faces burning. This was a silent slap, but it was even more painful than a loud counterattack.
"Crack, crack, crack... The
tribulation grew stronger and stronger, and the pill emitted a crisp sound, shocking everyone.
"This pill is about to shatter."
People noticed that tiny cracks had appeared on the pill, as if it might explode at any moment.
People couldn't help but look at Long Chen, but he still stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the pill, seemingly having no intention of protecting it.
"Crack, crack, crack... The
power of the thunder grew stronger and stronger, until even space began to twist continuously. The pill seemed unable to withstand it, its surface began to crack, and small fragments fell off.
"What?"
People cried out in surprise. As the black fragments gradually peeled off, they discovered that the black part was actually a shell containing a red pill.
When all the black shells were shattered, revealing a blood-red pill, people couldn't help but drop their mouths in astonishment.
"A black shell, and it's actually a pill armor. Even the pill armor is so terrifying, able to withstand the power of thunder for so long—how powerful must that pill be?"
Pill garments are not uncommon. Many people also make pill garments when refining pills. However, these garments are designed to better preserve the medicinal power, preventing it from leaking out, and locking more energy within the pill.
In fact, this kind of pill robe was extremely fragile and couldn't withstand violent impacts, but Long Chen's robe could actually withstand a thunder tribulation, which overturned everyone's understanding.
The black pill robe fell off, red pills appeared, and the thunder tribulation in the void grew stronger again. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the red pill couldn't hold out and cracked again.
"What?" And it's still a Dan garment? To
everyone's shock, as the red pill shattered, the purple pill inside was revealed, and the red part was still the pill garment.
"Two layers of cinnabar robes?" How is this possible? How did he do it? An elder from the Divine Pill Hall couldn't help but exclaim. A single layer of pill armor requires two distractions when refining pills, which increases the failure rate. If it's unnecessary, no one would refine pill garments, avoiding failure and loss over the gain.
But Long Chen actually forged two layers of pill armor, which was extremely difficult. Moreover, the method for making two layers of pill clothing existed only in theory; in reality, no one had actually refined it, because once the pill armor was completed, the pill had a 99% chance of failure, which was simply putting the cart before the horse and not worth it.
As the red pill appeared, the thunder in the void grew even more violent, as if determined to destroy the pill.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion as the red pill exploded, sending up a cloud of blood-red powder that startled everyone.
"Hahaha, failed, failed... a
disciple of the Divine Pill Hall suddenly burst out laughing, looking quite pleased with his misfortune. But the more he laughed, the more he sensed something was off.
Because everyone was staring at him, each with an expression that wanted to spank him. After all, this kind of schadenfreude is the most taboo in alchemists—even for enemies, such behavior is disgraceful.
"No failure. That red powder is actually a pill garment. Oh my god, what kind of pill did Long Chen refine?" Someone exclaimed.
Amidst the swirling red powder, a pill about the size of a baby's fist, white and jade-like, floated in the void.
It was surrounded by flowing cinnabar aura, like a bright moon. Even though it was daytime, it still illuminated the whole world in a sacred and beautiful way. The entire square seemed ethereal, making one feel as if they were in a dream.
"So beautiful!"
Some women couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Rumble... The
five-colored pill thunder above the void suddenly rapidly condensed. To the shock of the crowd, it converged into a dazzling five-colored thunder giant sword. The sword was as towering as a mountain, gathering all its power, carrying a howling wind and endless will to destroy as it slashed down on the pill.
"Boom!"
A large hand appearedHe swung it out, catching the thunder sword barehanded. The thunder sword shattered, transforming into a sky full of thunder runes, instantly turning the entire plaza into a sea of thunder.
"Buzz!"
The pure white pill, bathed in endless thunder seas, suddenly lit up with runes all over its body, and beneath it, petals gradually began to sprout.
The petals were placed in the center, wildly absorbing the power of thunder. The petals gradually grew larger, each petal representing a unique Dao resonance.
Counting carefully, the petals numbered ninety-nine, stacked like stars surrounding the pill. Everyone present had never seen such a phenomenon; each craned their necks, their eyes nearly bulging.
The thunder had already settled, leaving only a sacred flower trembling between heaven and earth. Among the flowers, a pearl adorned the space. This scene was deeply imprinted in people's minds, and even after countless years, they could still vividly remember it.
Ye Qian's face was pale at this moment. Staring at the huge flower, he couldn't utter a word, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost his soul.
He was defeated, and utterly defeated. He never imagined he would lose, nor lose to someone of his generation, and the gap was still so great.
The entire venue fell silent. The disciples of the Divine Pill Hall no longer dared to make a sound. They looked at Long Chen with a trace of awe in their eyes. Long Chen's alchemy had reached heights beyond their reach.
They didn't even have the right to carry Long Chen's shoes. Thinking about how they had just mocked Long Chen, they realized how ignorant and childish they were.
Now, no one dared to speak anymore, because the slap in the face was too painful. Although many people questioned whether this was the Hundred Paths Harmonious Spirit Fusion Pill, no one dared to speak up; they waited for the final answer.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen waved his large hand, and the snow-white pill trembled slightly. The petals around him vanished, and like a giant pearl, it slowly flew toward Long Chen without the slightest resistance.
When the pill landed in Long Chen's hand, the radiance vanished. People could see ripples swirling within the pill, evolving a kind of Dao rhythm on its own, as if the pill itself had formed its own world.
"Wonderful, truly amazing. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would witness the birth of a top-grade Earth-grade Tribulation Pill with my own eyes. It's truly a feast for the eyes."
At that moment, the Lord of the Pill slowly stood up and applauded in praise.
"Senior, you flatter me. This Hundred Paths Harmonious Spirit Fusion Pill, because it hasn't awakened its spirit, hasn't reached the grade of a top-tier Earth-grade pill." Long Chen smiled faintly.
"Qiling is nothing more than a small favor for you. You're far too modest." The Pill Master smiled.
Long Chen smiled and didn't dwell on the matter any further. He glanced at the Hundred Paths Harmonious Melody Pill in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said,
"Senior, there are some things I'm not comfortable to say directly. I don't know if you could take the initiative. I'm quite busy, so I've got my things. I need to hurry back."
The Alchemy Master slapped his forehead: "Hehehe, it seems I really am getting senile." Turning
around, the Lord of Pills said to Ye Qian, who was as cold as an eggplant, "You have to accept the bet. Give me your bet." PS
