Chapter 794: Chapter 328: Contest of Foundations, Pure Confrontation! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2
He remained calm and composed, finishing the last stages of his Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill.
Seeing this, Tao Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Her younger brother, usually so restless, had indeed grown significantly in the past decade.
He already had a hint of the temperament of a seasoned leader, one who could remain unruffled even if a mountain like Taishan were to collapse before him or if deer were to frolic around him with gay abandon!
“He should succeed, right?”
She whispered to herself.
...
Under everyone’s anticipatory gaze, Tao Yisheng released the last Spiritual Secret.
The Earth Fire subsided, causing the Bronze Tripod to tremble slightly.
A fragrance that was a mixture of chrysanthemum and orchid wafted in the air.
“Did he succeed?”
“No!”
“There’s a hint of burnt smell!”
“This is...”
The initially joyous Tao Yisheng, when he obtained those three pills of only green and yellow color, had a look of disappointment visibly etched on his face.@@@@
Just then.
Tao Daonan’s voice resonated in perfect time.
“Presenting green and yellow, falling short of three colors, this pill is incomplete, a Waste Pill!”
Almost at the same time.
Tao Wen swiftly turned her beautiful, sparkling eyes towards Luo Chen.
The latter shrugged, spreading his hands outward.
He made a gesture that seemed to say, “even though I guessed right, it’s not my problem”.
Tao Wen nodded and looked away.
Just as she had predicted before, he failed.
However, there are degrees to failure!
She fixed her gaze on Tao Daonan.
“Tao Yichen’s pill refinement ended in a total collapse, not even reaching the pill’s final stage of formation.”
“Even though Yisheng also failed, he refined a Second Order Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill, making his Pill Refinement Technique far superior to his.”
“I don’t think that’s necessary!” Tao Daonan frowned.
“Yes, it’s very necessary!” Tao Wen scanned the crowd and said categorically, “Do you want to hear that our Xiao Nanshan Tao Family’s new Family Head was selected from two failures?”
A failure picked from two failures?
Isn’t that still a failure!
Under Tao Wen’s serious gaze, no one could immediately refute her.
Or rather, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators on her side didn’t want to refute her at all.
They unanimously voiced their support for the continuation of the pill refinement competition.
Even Tao Daonan’s side couldn’t find a reason to oppose.
The Clan Chief and Family Head are different.
The former is responsible for rituals, bloodline inheritance, respecting hierarchies and so on. It is usually an elder with high prestige in the family who takes up this post.
But the latter is responsible for all internal and external affairs, big or small.
What is needed, is a young, promising, and strong representation.
They represent the face of the entire family!
They’re even considered to be the representative of a declining or flourishing major family!
This kind of status can’t afford to have the stain of “failure” from the start.
Seeing that everyone held no objection.
Tao Wen abruptly turned her head, “Did everyone get enough rest!”
“Continue to refine the pill!”
“Don’t stop until you refine the Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill.”
“Whoever refines it will become the new head of my Xiao Nanshan Tao Family!”
Without a second thought.
Tao Yisheng naturally began to direct Medicine Disciples to prepare new materials for him, and asked the Fire Worker to clear the Earth Fire Passage, and also asked the Cleaning Cultivator to cleanse the Bronze Tripod that was dirtied by the previous pill refinement.
He was an expert at these tasks, as if he had experienced such a situation countless times before.
All of this practice was a result of the past year when he had been assigned by Luo Chen to the Luo Tian Creed for hard labor.
On the other side, Tao Yichen also forced himself to lift his spirits and start similar work.
Before long.
Earth Fire reignited!
Pill refinement resumed!
Only at this moment, the atmosphere that had been tense due to their confrontations gradually eased down.
