Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World
195 The Pill Meet
The day of the Pill Meet arrived. The city was full. Everyone was gathered in the arena of the city.
The arena was completely furnished, and there had not been a fight in here for the last month. Everything was done in preparation for the pill meet.
Alchemists from all over the city were in this arena. The singular stage was big enough for thousands of alchemists to compete.
But this was not a meet open to everyone. Only two hundred handpicked, young alchemists were allowed to compete here. That was still a lot, and those alchemists who weren't able to compete in the competition were in the stands, looking on.
It was the rare chance to see so many types of refinement processes at once. No alchemist would want to miss this.
The two hundred alchemists took the stage were evenly spaced in between them. And at the very center, there were four furnaces placed in the grandest fashion.
These were the furnaces of Liu Feng, Gu Hua, Bai Zhiqui, and Ding Yan. All of them were standing there, and looked at everyone calmly.
The three pill geniuses were sources of attraction, and everyone looked at them.
"One of them is guaranteed to win the pill meet." one of the alchemists who was participating said, sighing. He had given up all hope in winning, and only hoped to get some attention to his skills, and maybe get some reputation.
"But who is the person who is next to him? The geniuses are actually not doing anything about putting a nobody like that at their position?"
Liu Feng could hear all of this chit chat about him, but he couldn't be bothered about it too much. He was used to this already, and didn't want to bring himself down to that level.
Master Mu slowly walked out to the arena and looked at the filled arena. Everyone quieted down with the entrance of the branch leader.
They all looked at him with expectant eyes.
Master Mu came to the center of the arena, beyond Liu Feng, and cleared his throat.
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to Cairin city for the Pill meet. I am honored that all of you have come. It is the first time that this many alchemists have come to one place. I can without a doubt say that the most coveted place to be is here, currying your favor." Master Mu.
Everyone laughed at this.
"It is time now, and we must not dally any longer. I shall now announce that the Pill meet will commence!" Master Mu said, and the moment that he said that, everyone cheered.
The young geniuses in the arena looked at each other with a tinge of competition. They wanted to beat each other, but the mountain that was the three pill geniuses were simply insurmountable.
Another old man jumped from one side and landed next to Master Mu. He bowed in front of the master, and Master Mu nodded back, then left the stage to sit in the best seat in the entire arena.
Meanwhile, the old man looked at all the contestants.
"Pill Elder Qingshan." Bai Zhiqui bowed a little.
"Lass Zhiqui. Make your master proud." the old man said.
"I am the judge of this round. The first round shall be a test of making the Myriad Aspects Pill. The ingredients have already been provided to you. The pill that you make will be the property of the pill tower." Pill Elder Qinghsan said.
Liu Feng scanned through his memories and found out what the Myriad Aspects Pill was. It was a surprisingly hard pill to make.
The number of steps that were involved was more than usual.
"How is this possible? Such a difficult pill to make in the first round? Are they planning to rule out all of the alchemists in this one round?" someone in the audience commented.
Liu Feng smiled and took out the ingredients from the spatial ring, and opened the furnace in front of him.
This was not the furnace that the system had provided him. This was the furnace that reacted before. It was one of the nine furnaces of the Medicine Spirit Sect.
Now, it seemed to actively communicate with Liu Feng. It was alive, and had a connection with its owner.
The other alchemists were having a hard time already. The Myriad Aspects Pill had it in its name. It had dozens of ingredients, and many main ingredients that gave it its effect.
The fact that it had many main herbs was that they would collide with each other, and fight for supremacy. If even one of the herbs broke out of equilibrium, the pill would not be formed, and the entire batch would be a waste.
Because of the extreme difficulty, and the incredible cost of the spirit herbs used in the process, it was almost impossible for one of these to appear in any of the auction houses.
Only someone who desperately wanted this pill would request an experienced Pill Elder to try to make it, and even then, it would probably end in failure.
The three pill geniuses also started their furnaces. They started adding their ingredients slowly, and extracted the medicinal essence, while immediately taking them out afterward. It was an extremely time consuming process, and they had to repeat that dozens of times.
Liu Feng was not in the terrible situation that they were though.
The reason was not only that the system was helping him out by showing him exactly what to do. It was that the procedure that he knew from the manual that he had was completely, completely different from what he saw the others doing.
And one thing he knew from the near year of experience he had with the system was that the system was always right.
"Guess these people just learnt the hard way." Liu Feng shrugged and started adding the herbs one by one.
