CHAPTER 28
Step into the Spiritual Martial Force
The plains to the north of the city were ten thousand meters in length and breadth. It was where Iron Mountain City, Blood Red City, and Fierce Tiger City intersected. It was also the location of the Three Cities Competition.
At this moment, many large flags had been set up in all directions on the plain. The major clans had found a place to set up camp. There was only a high platform on a mountain peak in the east, which was enough to overlook the six battle platforms in the center.
As the sky gradually darkened, torches were lit one after another. A total of twelve families from the three cities had finally arrived.
Today was the last day for them to adjust themselves. There were even many people who were sharpening their weapons at the last moment and swallowing medicinal pills to cultivate.
At that moment, Long Chen was staying in one of the barracks of the Long Family. He threw two Breakthrough Pills into his mouth. Today, he would reach the second level of the Ling Martial Realm.
Originally, with his current cultivation, he was eighty to ninety percent confident that he would win the Grand Competition of the Three Cities. However, according to the memory of his previous life, once the Grand Competition of the Three Cities ended and the referees left, the Li family launched a surprise attack on the Long family.
Although the Li family's Li Xu and Li Tian were already dead, and things might change a little, there was an even more powerful Li Yuanwu. If things continued to develop like this, he would make the Li family pay an unprecedented price.
…
At the same time, on the hundred-meter grandstand, three members of the imperial capital were ordered to supervise the Grand Competition of the Three Cities. These three members would appear in every Grand Competition of the Three Cities under the Blue Dragon Empire in order to ensure the fairness of the competition.
One of them was a military general, and the other was a civil general. In order to ensure that the Empire did not pocket the profits, there would be a third party, the Alchemist Guild, that was to say, every Grand Competition of the Three Cities would be supervised by an alchemist.
The vigorous old man among the three had a red face. He was an old general of the Empire who had retired. Because his place of retirement was not far from Iron Mountain City and other mountain cities, he was appointed as the host of this place.
As for the pale-faced scholar, he came from the imperial capital. He was a seventh-rank official and his name was Zhuo Bufan.
However, these three people, each with their own strengths, were gathered together. Their eyes were fixed on the pill in the pale-faced, beardless Elder Xu's hand.
After looking at it for a while, the red-faced old general asked doubtfully, "Brother Xu, is it really as magical as you said? After looking at it for half a day, isn't it just a Qi Gathering Pill? There's even a crack on it, it's really unsightly. "
Although Zheng Jun had taken off his armor and returned to the fields, he was still vigorous despite his age. His words were still straightforward.
The alchemist known as Elder Xu was not angered by his words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Elder Zheng was born in the military, so it's fine as long as there are medicinal pills to eat. However, in my opinion, this medicinal pill is extremely exquisite, as if it's the work of nature."
"Oh? Elder Xu is the representative of the Alchemist Guild in the Fire Cloud County, and he has already reached the Grandmaster Realm in alchemy. Is this strange looking pill really that rare? "Compared to the old general Zheng Jun, Zhuo Bufan, the young scholar, spoke much more gently and politely.
Elder Xu's beardless old man shook his head and said, "This Qi-gathering Pill is refined from Green Spirit Grass. There's nothing special about it. But if I'm not wrong, this Qi-gathering Pill only used two Green Spirit Grass, and it didn't even reach two!"
"And its absorption effect is several times higher than that of ordinary Qi-gathering Pills. Even its medicinal efficacy is two levels higher."
Elder Xu's words were filled with shock, and even a trace of yearning. Even though the two of them were not alchemists, they could still hear how amazing it was. Just the absorption effect being several times higher was incredible.
In other words, a Qi-gathering Pill that would normally take eight hours to absorb would now only take two hours!
It must be known that the Qi-gathering Pill was the most commonly used medicinal pill for martial artists. This kind of efficiency was already terrifying …
However, the two of them still did not understand medicinal pills. In fact, what surprised Elder Xu the most was that the medicinal efficacy was two levels higher!
The Qi-gathering Pill could be refined with any spiritual medicine, but while removing impurities, many medicinal properties would also be lost. Even so, there would still be many impurities in the Qi-gathering Pill every moment. This would cause the Qi-gathering Pill to be unable to be taken for a long period of time.
The Qi-gathering Pill, the most common medicinal pill, had been refined by countless people. Its medicinal properties and impurities were almost impossible to change. But now, this rule might have been broken …
Until a beautiful woman ran over. The woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was otherworldly, and her eyes were like a stream on a snowy mountain. She had an indescribable aura of green spirit. She wore a somewhat serious red and black robe. The loose robe was unable to conceal her proud posture, but it made her look a bit comical.
But aside from Elder Xu, when the other two saw the two pill cauldron-like badges on the woman's chest, they immediately revealed shocked expressions. The pill cauldron badge was a badge that had been personally tested by the Alchemist Guild. Just this badge alone was enough to make the great empires treat it with great hospitality.
"Alchemist Xu, could this be the daughter of the Alchemist Guild's Black Dragon Empire branch president, Liu Yi Yi?" Veteran General Zheng Jun's eyes lit up as he asked.
"This is the Black Dragon Empire's rare alchemy talent that only appears once in a hundred years. Seeing you today, you really are a dragon among men …"
Alchemist Xu nodded, seemingly unwilling to speak in detail. Instead, he was quite interested in Liu Yi Yi's words.
"Elder Xu, I heard that the mountain bandit stole these pills from a disciple of the Gu Clan, and the disciple of the Gu Clan bought them for ten taels of silver each from the Oceanic Sky Trading Company. Hehe." The woman's laughter was as clear and melodious as a bell, as if she was faintly looking forward to it.
"Oceanic Sky Trading Company? Aren't they also here now? They're in the outermost camp in the west. When the first round of the competition ends tomorrow, you and I will go pay them a visit. We'll definitely benefit a lot. "Alchemist Xu seemed to have a rather high evaluation of the pill refiner.
"Oceanic Sky Trading Company? It's said that the Lin Clan has an alchemist from the imperial capital who has been temporarily staying in the Oceanic Sky Trading Company. It should be him. When the competition ends tomorrow, we'll go take a look together … "
Although Elder Xu was somewhat looking forward to it, he still agreed. In his heart, he secretly thought that the Black Dragon Empire actually had such an alchemist, and he actually didn't know about it.
Bang bang!
Just as the three of them were about to leave, two faint muffled sounds came out. The old general Zheng Jun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at the Long Clan's camp from afar.
"Elder Zheng, what's wrong? This sound is probably someone's pot and bowl being knocked over. Don't worry about it. "Zhuo Bufan waved his feather fan and said casually.
The old general shook his head and said rather solemnly: "With my many years of experience, someone from the Long Clan has stepped into the Spiritual Martial Force, and has broken through two stages in a row!"
"Breaking through two stages in a row, that is to say, from the Ordinary Martial Realm directly to the second level of the Spiritual Martial Realm? Could it be that you heard wrong … "Zhuo Bufan's expression was strange, as if he didn't believe it at all. Even Elder Xu shook his head slightly, as if he felt that these words were too unbelievable.
