The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1353 - 1354: Finals

As Ye Mo won three consecutive matches, he had already been transported out, appearing in the center of the square with cheers ringing all around.

Soon after, the heirs of Pill Saint, Dan Chenzi, Li Duanmu, Chen Tianran, and a total of ten people appeared in the center of the square. These ten individuals had emerged from thousands of alchemists.

"What’s going on? Where is Pill Demon heir?"

The heir of Pill Saint glanced around and noticed that among the ten, the Pill Demon heir was absent.

"Not sure, could he have been eliminated by someone else? How is that possible?"

Dan Chenzi was also greatly surprised. In their view, the only alchemists capable of defeating the Pill Demon heir were the two of them.

"Congratulations to the ten standing at the center of the square, you have successfully entered the finals. Now, I will announce the rules for the finals."

Suddenly, a voice echoed around the square, causing the ten people to pay close attention.

"The finals will take the form of free performance, but the materials and pill furnaces will be provided by the Dan Clan. The pill furnaces you ten will be using are the Spirit Light Furnaces used by our Dan Clan’s ordinary disciples, which can increase the success rate of pills by ten percent. As for the materials, the pills you can imagine, we, the Dan Clan, can provide them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo’s expression changed too, as the finals unexpectedly prohibited the use of personal pill furnaces, meaning he could not guarantee the successful refining of pills.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the other alchemists did not change much; even without increased pill success rates, they had a one hundred percent success rate.

"It seems the Dan Clan wants to make a move; they will surely tamper with the pill furnaces."

The Dan City Lord watched this scene and sighed, saying: "I just hope this Ye Mo can work miracles."

"Next, I will announce the rules and rewards for this contest. The rules for this competition are unrestricted in refined pills. To reflect your control over alchemy, the added materials for this contest are only enough to refine one pill. The competition will evaluate the top three based on the difficulty and purity of the refined pills."

"Besides being able to take away their refined pills, the first place winner will also receive the Nine Dragons Golden Flame Furnace!"

Wow!

Upon hearing this, the surroundings immediately erupted into an uproar. The Nine Dragons Golden Flame Furnace, the number one pill furnace in the alchemy realm, possesses the Nine Dragons Golden Flame and can enhance the pill’s purity to the maximum, a pill furnace coveted by all alchemists.

"As for the second and third place winners, they will respectively receive the Divine Phoenix Furnace and Water Clear Pupil Fish Furnace."

Although these two pill furnaces are not as good as the Nine Dragons Golden Flame Furnace, every pill furnace ranks at the forefront of the pill furnace list.

"The competition time is one incense, now, let the contest begin!"

As this voice fell, a cauldron appeared before each of the ten, and the surroundings fell silent, with pairs of eyes filled with excitement and admiration, tightly fixed on the ten figures in the arena.

"Is it starting?"

Ye Mo glanced at the pill furnace that appeared before him, his brows also furrowing; this time was a real test of alchemy. He couldn’t use the Terrestrial Fiend Furnace and was only refining one pill.

The herb table reappeared in front of them, and several alchemists advanced to select materials, preparing to refine the pills they excelled at.

"No matter what, this time, it must succeed; I must refine the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill."

Ye Mo’s gaze became incredibly determined, and he strode forward, beginning to choose herbs.

He chose small portions of Silver Frost Grass and Soul Spirit Grass to ensure a single pill could be refined, then returned to his position and began refining.

"That Ye Mo chose Soul Spirit Grass and Silver Frost Grass; could it be he wants to refine the most difficult pill, the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill?"

The Dan Clan Elder exclaimed: "If he refines the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill and achieves over eighty-five percent purity, then surely he will be the champion of the alchemist competition."

"Don’t worry, the power to score lies with us. No matter how skilled Ye Mo is, he cannot claim the championship. Moreover, the pill furnaces of Dan Chenzi and the Pill Saint heir have two pills pre-placed, personally refined by the Pill Saint: the Purple Frost Netherfire Pill and the Innate Divine Cloud Pill. These two pills have the same refining difficulty, and though not as hard as the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, the Pill Saint managed to refine these two pills to ninety-five percent purity. They will jointly win the championship of this alchemy competition."

Another Dan Clan Elder said confidently.

This competition, initially they thought the appearance of the Pill Demon heir would offer a variable, so they had arranged for this point in advance.

As long as they won this alchemist competition and had the support of the Pill Saint, they could rightfully take over the entire Dan City. By controlling the most talented alchemists, they controlled everything, with strong powerhouses from all forces extending branches to the Pill Saint heir and Dan Chenzi.

Their Dan Clan was set to control the entire alchemy realm.

"What if that Ye Mo refines the highest-quality Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill?"

One of the elders, having witnessed Ye Mo’s various methods, felt slightly uneasy.

"Impossible."

The Pill Saint immediately spoke: "The Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill is far more difficult than the Divine Venerate Pill. Being able to refine the Divine Venerate Pill to the highest quality is already a miracle, making it impossible to refine the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill to the level of Pill’s Markings."

In their view, while this alchemist competition had a few variables, it remained under their control.

And the ten people at the center of the square, except for Ye Mo, were all deeply engaged in refining.

"Hey, that guy must be the kid competing in Yang Qingshu’s stead, right? Why hasn’t he started refining?"

While refining, Li Duanmu also glanced sideways at Ye Mo, noticing he hadn’t acted yet, and couldn’t help but wonder. Logic dictates, the earlier they start, the more beneficial it is to enhance the pill’s purity to its maximum.

Many alchemists in the scene were locking their gaze on Ye Mo, unaware that he had defeated the Pill Demon heir, but those present did know, so they remained highly expectant of Ye Mo’s performance.

However, Yang Rong watched Ye Mo standing there without acting and didn’t have much expectation.

Yang Rong knew well that Ye Mo had improved his pill success rate to one hundred percent relying on the Terrestrial Fiend Furnace, but without it, he might not be able to refine the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill.

"Alas!"

Yang Rong sighed softly, the finals mandating the use of the contest’s pill furnace was something they hadn’t anticipated. Based solely on Ye Mo’s performance, even if he couldn’t win the championship, demonstrating strength to eliminate the Pill Demon heir could secure a top-three finish.
