Chapter 702 (Vol 3) – Pill Tribulation!
A charming figure stretched out her arms and stood in front of Ling Tian like a wall, preventing him from throwing the grass into the pill furnace.
Master Fengta and Elder Woo Chin sighed in relief when they saw Daihang Guan’s disciple stop him.
Ling Tian blinked slightly in confusion when he saw the young woman who had been silently watching him stand in front of him and prevent him from throwing the last grass. Ling Tian could tell that although there was a firm resolve to stop his actions, her body was trembling slightly as her expression held traces of fear and nervousness.
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he noticed this woman’s beautiful figure but realizing the huge scar on her face, overshadowing this woman’s beauty and causing everyone else back away. But Ling Tian did not feel disgust let alone revulsion at the sight of her, he only looked into her eyes directly.
Yi Jingwen was startled when she felt Ling Tian’s direct gaze into her eyes, as if he could see through her, see her mind, see her memories, see her secrets, see really who she was, see her heart! Yi Jingwen felt more nervous, she had only stood between Ling Tian and the direction of the pill furnace, afraid that he might actually destroy the last chance to create the pill that both Daihang Guan and the elders were painstakingly working on. Yi Jingwen did not know who this handsome and perfect man who seemed to be like the Immortals in ancient times was, whether he was an important young master or why he had referred to Daihang Guan in such a way, but she was not going to allow her senior brother’s work to be destroyed by someone else. Even if Yi Jingwen did not have a high cultivation base, she would not move from that place!
Ling Tian felt her nervousness and fear, a fear that she knew that even though she was not strong and expected the worst she still planted herself strongly on the spot, determined not to take a step back. Ling Tian then smiled slightly with a hint of charm towards Yi Jingwen, creating an alluring and charming aura, along with his jet black eyes being like two swirls trying to captivate the soul. His eyes seemed to pierce even further through her last barriers, as if looking into her heart and soul.
Hmn?
Yi Jingwen was dumbfounded as she felt her soul begin to be drawn to Ling Tian, looking into his jet black eyes unconsciously as if forcing her to contemplate the beauty of this man as time stopped. Yi Jingwen had to admit that she had never seen such beautiful, pure black eyes like the bright eternal night and the entire beautiful galaxy.
‘Senior Brother!’
However, not even the second had passed when the figure of someone appeared in her mind and heart, breaking the strange magic she felt towards the man in front of her. Yi Jingwen felt Ling Tian’s jet black eyes become simply a pair of beautiful eyes nothing more, while the attraction she had towards him faded away completely, with her soul and spirit calming down completely. Even his smile no longer had that mysterious charm anymore.
Yi Jingwen cleared her mind and finally turned serious towards Ling Tian, even looking at him with a bit of fury and anger.
‘She’s good girl…’ Ling Tian narrowed his eyes more before smiling softly and nodding inwardly. He could feel the firm resolve in her gaze, no trace of doubt or fear, a firm and unwavering resolve willing not to take a step back. The fury and anger in her expression clearly was from wanting to charm his heart, failing in the attempt.
“Wenwen, it’s all right. I trust him completely. If he can’t achieve this, then I can’t either. Trust him.”
When it seemed like Yi Jingwen was hesitating whether to challenge Ling Tian even with her low cultivation base as a warning, Daihang Guan’s voice was heard, instantly startling her.
“Senior Brother…” Yi Jingwen hesitated as she listened to Daihang Guan. She knew more than anyone else Daihang Guan’s importance and effort in making this pill!
Then, Daihang Guan looked at her with a gentle smile, conveying confidence and reassurance, as if he really didn’t care anymore if he managed to finish the pill.
Yi Jingwen nodded to Daihang Guan after sensing his confidence and came to his side, backing away from Ling Tian. However her gaze was still fixed on Ling Tian, as if she had no intention of forgiving him if he failed.
“Heh~” Ling Tian laughed lightly as he looked back and saw Long Yuyin’s sharp gaze and even Mu Shuiruo’s slightly jealous expression when he tried to “charm” Yi Jingwen. However, he did not notice the other expressions of the other women.
“There it goes!”
Ling Tian threw the last grass into the pill furnace calmly only to cross his arms behind his back and stand watching as a spectator.
Woo Chin and Master Fengta looked at Ling Tian in shock and then at Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu. Ling Tian might be an important fellow for Lu Wuhu to be able to trust him, but now the Vice President of the Alchemy Association, the most skilled alchemist in the entire Heavenly Earth continent also trusted this young man to the point of saying that if he couldn’t make the pill no one could do it, including him? Who was this guy really?
The last spiritual grass entered the pill furnace, causing an intense burst of aura that surpassed the protective barriers of the place and spread to the other buildings!
“What’s this powerful aura?”
“Is there someone breaking through?”
“How come it smells like rainbow spiritual flower fragrances? Is it some natural treasure?”
“No! It’s coming from the furnace hall! It must be the elders who are creating a higher grade pill!”
“What? But how could such a pill emit such a powerful aura? Is it really a pill being created? Will it be a legendary immortal pill?”
The alchemists and other cultivators nearby felt the terrifying burst of aura, wondering what was going on.
“What’s going on? How come it hasn’t failed? Is the legendary pill really being created?” Master Fengta whispered in astonishment as he saw that the furnace was about to explode but the worst was not happening, with an aura it gave off being so terrifying.
* Lightning! *
A flash illuminated the clouds as they covered almost the entire city of Yuan Le!
“A Pill Tribulation? It really is the pill tribulation!” Elder Woo Chin exclaimed with intermingled excitement and horror at seeing the dark clouds in the sky, with lightning flashing across the clouds.
The phenomenon was spreading for hundreds of miles around! As if someone was about to enter the Great Ascension state!
“It really triggered the tribulation…” Daihang Guan whispered in surprise. Although he knew from records that making this pill could attract a tribulation, he still couldn’t help but be surprised.
“You’re creating a pill that surpasses world laws, so it’s normal for there to be a tribulation to prevent its formation. This is still far from over.”
Just then, Ling Tian’s voice echoed in the room, clearing Daihang Guan’s mind as he realized that it wasn’t over yet.
Lu Wuhu slowly stood up as he narrowed his eyes toward the sky. He could feel the terrifying power coming from the pill tribulation. It far surpassed the power that when he entered the Great Ascension state.
The ground began to tremble, with great spiritual energies concentrating on the pill furnace as the skies darkened much faster.
* Boom! *
The cauldron finally exploded!
A small glowing pill fluctuating with great energies flew out of the furnace, flying into the sky and wanting to escape!
“It gave birth to a spirit with instinct!” Master Fengta exclaimed in horror, watching as a small brightly colored ball flew into the sky.
The figure of Daihang Guan disappeared from where he was sitting and the next second he was in the sky. In his hands he held the pill that was unsuccessfully trying to escape!
“Good!” Elder Woo Chin sighed in relief as he saw that Daihang Guan had retrieved the pill. If the pill escaped, it would not be baptized by the heavens and would not become a real pill but a fake pill, and would even end up falling apart.
But now the problem was in who would volunteer to retain the pill from not escaping while being baptized by the power of the heavens, but unfortunately being involved as well.
Time was short and gave no time to choose when a mighty arc of seven large lightning bolts fell in the direction towards Daihang Guan with the intention of killing him!
“Senior Brother!” Yi Jingwen cried out in horror at the sight of such a fierce and terrifying tribulation!
Without a doubt this pill tribulation was a divine damnation!
