Chapter 826: Chapter 340: The Three Champions, Renowned Pill Dust
“Lord Pill Master, you are so formidable!”
“With Master Dan Chenzi here, my Tao Family can surely thrive!”
“Did you not see, just now, the old fool Huang Hezi? His face looked as if he had lost his ancestors, it was simply too satisfying.”
“He deserves it, karma at its finest. He’s of an older age, and everyone respects him for his years of dedication. But after clearly agreeing to help Senior Sister Tao Wen, he still turned traitor at the last minute. Now that his performance is lacking, I’m afraid he won’t have an easy time over at the Shangguan Family’s side!”
“Master Dan Chenzi, please this way!”
Once again he was the first to refine the Spirit Feeding Pill, and also the first to finish the competition.
As Luo Chen descended from the high platform, he enjoyed an unprecedented level of respect.
If the first contest brought surprise to the people,
then the success of the second one earned him unprecedented admiration from the Tao Family’s side.
Luo Chen responded indifferently.
He proceeded forward, coming to the side of Tao Wen.
“That must have been hard on you.” Tao Wen looked at him, her tone much gentler than before.
Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.
“It was nothing but a slight effort.”
Just a slight effort?
Tao Wen, with a contemplative gaze, looked at the Pill Refiners on the stage still toiling away at their Pill Refinement, and found herself momentarily at a loss for words.
After a while, she finally spoke, “Now, with two consecutive first places under your belt, regardless of the rankings in the next round, I will have the chance to advance from fourth place. You can hold back a little in the third round.”
The meaning behind her words was not distrust, but absolute trust!
Because of his groundwork in the first two rounds, Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique had completely convinced her.
Yet,
Hold back?
Luo Chen was momentarily puzzled, not understanding her meaning?
But as his gaze swept over the people from the Tao Family and looked to the countless Qingdan Valley Disciples all around, he understood the answer in his heart.
On their faces lay curiosity, astonishment, admiration,
“Inviting external aid to battle is one of the rules of the Seed Cultivator Battle.”
“It shows one’s connections, wealth, and tactics.”
“He Yuanqing is able to hold second place because Chu Kui of Tianlan has put in significant effort. He defeated many of your Qingdan Valley Foundation Establishment Disciples, but He Yuanqing doesn’t seem worried about these things harming the Sect’s reputation.”
“Finally!”
“Am I not, a Pill Master of the Tao Family, also a member of the Qingdan Valley?”
If the few sentences before were just burdens loaded onto the camel,
then Luo Chen’s last remark was the final straw that broke the camel’s back.
Right!
Even if the details of the Seed Cultivator Battle spread, people would only say that the Tao Family’s Pill Master Dan Chenzi dominated all the way and defeated the Pill Refiners of Qingdan Valley.
The Tao Family itself is one of the Immortal Cultivation Clans of Qingdan Valley!
Where is the harm to the reputation here?
She does not need to care about the opinions of Lower Order Disciples.
What needs to be considered is how to strive for the Seed Cultivator Position in the most advantageous situation!
With this realization, a smile crossed Tao Wen’s face.
“It seems I have overthought it.”
Looking at Luo Chen, she couldn’t help saying, “Winning the first two rounds has already proven your prowess in Pill Refinement. But the third round is about refining second-rank elixirs, are you still so confident?”
She wasn’t questioning him,
but kindly reminding him.
“People like the Qingdan Seven Sons, what they are actually best at is not First Order Pills, but Second Order Pills, and the study of Third Order Pill Formulas.”
“The third contest is the most critical one!”
Luo Chen was well aware of this.
If it weren’t for financial needs, if he wasn’t striving to earn Spirit Stones to purchase Cultivation resources,
he wouldn’t have spent so much time on the repetitive and seemingly pointless task of First Order Pill Refinement.
As an ambitious Pill Refiner,
he too desired to dedicate all his efforts to the study of Second, and even Third and Fourth Order Pills.
