Seeing her daughter's blank expression, Yan Qianling's heart ached. This daughter was the apple of her and her husband's eye. Moreover, what her daughter did was for the sake of Water Ying Immortal City.
Yan Qianling said straightforwardly, "Husband, Lianxi is right. Even if they were allowed to participate, with the current conditions, it would be difficult for two Tier 5 Pill Kings to enter the top 300, let alone the top 50. How about this, let's invite Brother Tan Liang to compete for Water Ying Immortal City. Since we're going to fail anyway, why give this chance to someone else? At most, after the competition, our whole family will just leave Water Ying Immortal City. "
Wen Lianxi regained her composure and hurried to agree with her mother, "Father, I think that mother is right. There's no need for us to curry favor with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Since we're going to offend them anyway, why bother? Let Uncle Tan participate in the competition. At least we'll get some experience. "
Tan Liang sighed, "I'm fine with it. It's just that if I participated previously, I might still have a sliver of chance. Now, I'm afraid I won't even have that sliver of chance."
Wen Hou went silent for a long time before saying, "Lianxi and your mother are right. Brother Tan, we're like real brothers. This time, it's better for you to compete for our Water Ying Immortal City. If we lose, we'll leave immediately. There's still a period of time before Water Ying Immortal City becomes another city's vassal. If I leave before Water Ying Immortal City becomes another city's vassal, nothing will happen. "
Everyone went silent. Even Wen Lianxi knew that Wen Hou's words were just to console them. After the competition, the consequences of abandoning the city would be even more severe.
After some time, Tan Liang said, "Alright, at most, we'll leave together. When the time comes, I'll see if I have a chance to join the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance."
Wen Lianxi saw her parents' downcast expressions and her heart was in extreme pain. She thought about Mo Wuji's promise and hesitated to say it. She was afraid that if she said it, Mo Wuji would fail and everyone would be disappointed.
"Lianxi, are you hiding something from us?" Wen Lianxi's mother, Yan Qianling, understood her daughter very well. Seeing Wen Lianxi's hesitation, she knew that her daughter had something to say.
Wen Hou also saw it. He laughed, "Lianxi, is there anything worse than our current situation? If you have anything to say, just say it. No matter what, our family will not be separated. I, Wen Hou, have ascended to the Immortal World for so many years, what have I not experienced? "
Wen Lianxi thought about it and said, "The pill refiner that I hired told me that he is 70% confident …"
Hearing Wen Lianxi's words, even Tan Liang's face turned ugly. Seventy percent? After changing the rules, even a Tier 6 Pill King wouldn't dare to say he had 70% confidence. Could it be that he was a Pill Emperor?
"Lianxi, could it be that you've been tricked?" Yan Qianling said with a frown.
Wen Lianxi hurried to say, "No, it's the pill refiner that Uncle Tan praised, the one I met in the Corner of Yong Ying. I never expected that he would actually come to Yong Ying Immortal City and coincidentally meet me. "
"Is that him?" Tan Liang's complexion looked much better, but he immediately sighed and said, "If the rules hadn't been changed, he indeed had 70% confidence, no, it should be more than 90%. But after the rules were changed, there's even a Pill Emperor participating, ai … "
Wen Hou also got agitated as he hurried to ask, "Brother Tan, back then you felt that the purity of his medicinal essences was 100%? Normally, there would be a round of purification of immortal herbs in the alchemy competition."
Tan Liang nodded, "I dare to confirm that in the future, this pill refiner would definitely become a Pill Emperor. A pill refiner that could purify spiritual herbs to 100% would be a heaven defying genius because even an ordinary Tier 6 Pill King might not be able to purify a stalk of spiritual herb to 100%. Unfortunately, he hasn't grown up yet. Now that the rules have been changed, I estimate that the lowest ranked person would be a Tier 6 Pill King.
In a Grand Alchemy Competition of this level, even if there was purification, it would at least be Tier 4 and above immortal herbs. The difficulty of purification for immortal herbs would naturally not be comparable to ordinary low tiered herbs. The difference is simply immeasurable … "
As he said this, Tan Liang paused for a moment before looking at Wen Lianxi, "Lianxi, regardless of the result, you must introduce him to me after the competition. This person's future is limitless and he would definitely be an existence that countless people would look up to in the future. "
When Yan Qianling heard this, she suddenly thought of something as she looked at her husband and asked, "Husband, what do you think would happen if Lianxi and that person called Mo Wuji get engaged?"
Wen Hou's eyes lit up because he trusted Tan Liang's foresight. Since Tan Liang said that Mo Wuji's future was limitless, then it was limitless. If the Wen Clan had a Pill Emperor as a son-in-law, who would dare to touch the Wen Clan? Even the Heavens and Earth wouldn't dare to casually touch the Wen Clan.
Towards Wen Lianxi, the two of them were extremely confident. Wen Lianxi had a warm temperament, was well-educated and was also the number one beauty in Water Ying Immortal City.
"Mother, what are you talking about? I've only met him twice," Wen Lianxi said with a flushed face.
…
Following Mo Wuji's closed door cultivation, the originally crowded Yong Ying Immortal City suddenly changed. The main reason was that Yong Ying Immortal Domain had changed the rules of the competition. Originally, only pill refiners of Yong Ying Immortal Domain below the age of 500 could participate. Now, as long as one was a pill refiner, they could participate.
The reason why pill refiners were so popular was because of the difficulty in concocting pills. A good pill refiner would have experienced tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation. One could imagine how many incredible pill refiners would join the competition the moment this condition was released.
This was especially so for those pill refiners who were stuck in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Dao Competition. It wasn't for anything else but for the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley.
When this condition was first released, the fight for the placings in Yong Ying Immortal Domain was still rather reserved. After all, when some Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Pill Kings went to some low grade immortal cities, those low grade immortal cities' castellans would treat them with respect. Some even gave them two placings as a gift as long as they could represent them in the competition.
Towards the end, when the number of placings decreased, even pill kings wouldn't hesitate to fight for the placings. Even if they were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, they wouldn't be lenient when fighting for the placings.
Geng Ji and Di Baisheng, who left Water Ying Immortal City's castellan in anger previously, couldn't help but come looking for Mo Wuji again. Even if there wasn't two placings, just one would be good.
"Wen Hou greets the two Pill Kings." Wen Hou and his family greeted the two Pill Kings in the guest hall. If it was said that Wen Hou anxiously hoped that the two of them wouldn't leave, now he was hoping that the two of them wouldn't come.
Geng Ji nodded his head and said indifferently, "Castellan Wen, did you manage to get that placings back?"
"Ai, I haven't been able to find it." Wen Hou sighed. He really wanted to sigh. However, the reason why he sighed wasn't because his daughter lost the placings, but because these two people came again.
Geng Ji furrowed his brows and said, "Since that's the case, then give the remaining placings to us. Don't worry, Baisheng and I are both Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Tier 5 Pill Kings. We will definitely give it our all and compete with our best standards."
Wen Hou was in a difficult position. Even though Tan Liang was his friend, he couldn't order him to come and go as he pleased.
Wen Lianxi, who was by the side, suddenly said, "Lianxi greets the two Pill Kings. My father hates me for not being sensible enough to give the placings away and not being able to invite the two Pill Kings. He might as well give up on this alchemy competition and promised the other placings to someone else. "
A hint of anger appeared in Geng Ji's eyes. He didn't think that Wen Hou would be so daring. If he had offended them slightly previously, then he had offended them to death now.
"Very well, I hope that your Water Ying Immortal City will be able to find an expert to obtain a good placing." Geng Ji couldn't even be bothered to put on an act. For the second time, he turned and left with Di Baisheng.
Wen Hou sighed, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Since it's my Wen Clan's turn to suffer, then there's nothing we can do about it. "
…
Yong Ying Immortal City was bustling with people. After a few months of clamor, the competition for the placings had finally ended.
At the same time, Yong Ying Immortal Domain's alchemy competition had officially begun.
Mo Wuji was called out by Lin Gu. At this moment, he had already refined 30% of the page of the Book of Luo. At the very least, he could fully activate the page of the Book of Luo.
Mo Wuji couldn't help but sigh at how worthless time was. A single closed door cultivation took close to a year.
"Lin Gu, thank you." Even though Mo Wuji greeted Lin Gu, he still wanted to thank her. This alchemy competition was the most important thing to him. If he missed it, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Lin Gu laughed, "For this alchemy competition, I even saw a few Immortal Emperor experts. Two of your Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Emperors also came. Even the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Vice Alliance Head appeared in Water Ying Immortal City. "
"Come, let's go to the alchemy competition venue. Even though I'm a member of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, I don't really know any Vice Alliance Head. I only know Pill Emperor Nong Yong. I wonder if Pill Emperor Nong Yong came, "Mo Wuji said as he tidied his clothes.
"I don't think so. The two Pill Emperors that came were Gong Yangxue and Heng Jun. However, they represent two different immortal cities," Lin Gu explained.
Mo Wuji was very regretful. The reason why he joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wasn't because he liked the alliance. He only wanted to find a place to protect himself.
He had never met any of the truly important figures of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. He didn't even meet the president of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Branch. The only person he met was a trace of Nong Yong's spiritual will clone. If Pill Emperor Nong Yong came, he would have thanked him. But now that Nong Yong didn't come, he could only feel regret.
…
The location of this alchemy competition was the largest plaza in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. It could be considered as an open-air competition.
The largest plaza in Yong Ying Immortal Domain was naturally the Yong Ying Immortal Sect Plaza. Even if millions of people squeezed here, it wouldn't feel crowded at all. In fact, it would still be very spacious.
