Zhao Sheng didn't understand the technique at all, his nine needles all useless, only having managed to poke nine tiny holes on the pill.
Zhao Hao, on the other hand, had used his inner qi to vibrate the pill as he stabbed in, trying to achieve the desired effect.
But sadly, while he was stronger than Zhao Sheng, he still couldn't fully grasp this Golden Needle Liberating Pill technique.
Zhao Hao stood where he was, retreating as he did not wave his hand to disperse the smoke and dust.
As a result, the pervading smoke and dust landed on his entire face, his hair completely white, his face also covered by a layer of white ash, looking extremely comical.
The martial practitioners under Zhao Yuan and Zhao Sheng, unable to stand his earlier arrogance, now seeing his misfortune, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhao Hao's entire face was white, but his eyes were like those of a wolf's as he stared at Yan Zhaoge.
At this moment, within his gaze, there was no contempt or disdain, but instead hatred and enmity.
It was no longer hatred and enmity towards Broad Creed Mountain, but was completely directed at Yan Zhaoge himself.
Directed at this youth whom he had never placed in his eyes before.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual, not even glancing at Zhao Hao, instead cupping his hands towards Zhao Shilie, "Thanks to Prince Jin's suggestion, this was indeed an exciting competition."
Seeing Yan Zhaoge completely ignoring his existence, Zhao Hao's pupils dilated slightly.
Sometimes, ignoring was even worse than looking down on someone.
Zhao Hao had always been someone who was arrogant, but he was even more arrogant. At this moment, how could he stand being ignored by Yan Zhaoge?
His gaze instantly became even more serene.
"Does Sixteenth Brother want to experiment a few more times?" Zhao Yuan's seemingly kind voice now resounded by his ear.
Zhao Hao closed his eyes, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms.
Having only experimented once just now, he already knew that the Golden Needle Liberating Pill technique was not something that could be learnt just by observing from the sidelines.
Even with his alchemy skills that far surpassed most people in this world, it was also not something that could be grasped with just a few experiments.
Looking at Zhao Hao, Zhao Yuan said mildly, "Looks like Sixteenth Brother does not intend to continue experimenting? Then, I wonder what the result of our competition will be? "
Zhao Hao's body swayed as he opened his eyes, not even looking at Zhao Yuan at all as he stared fixedly at Yan Zhaoge, "Hunting geese all year round, but having one's eyes pecked by a house sparrow …"
Sucking in a deep breath, he said, "This time, it's my loss."
Zhao Hao glanced coldly at Zhao Yuan, too lazy to say anything more.
He was a hundred percent sure that Zhao Yuan would be able to refine his own healing pill. Not to mention competing with him, Zhao Yuan's healing pill wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Zhao Hao's shoes.
However, he had been full of himself earlier. If Zhao Yuan could do it, and he, Zhao Hao, couldn't do better, then it would be considered his loss.
The result was that Zhao Yuan could do it, but he couldn't.
Although that definitely could not be the true abilities of that rookie Zhao Yuan, it was definitely Yan Zhaoge's guidance via sound transmission.
Zhao Hao snorted and said, "The person I killed earlier didn't have any valuable testimony."
"There's just one thing. Their organisation's influence is very wide, not just in the Eastern Tang, not just in the East Heaven Region."
"At least, they still have a stronghold in the North Heaven Continent, but he doesn't know the specific situation."
Listening by the side, Yan Zhaoge committed it to memory. However, his gaze still fell on Zhao Shilie.
Zhao Shilie waved his hand and put away the Radiant Sun Wheel. The light disappeared and Zhao Shilie's eyes dimmed.
"Returning to the Eastern Tang capital, I will still have to trouble Your Highness, Prince Jin," Yan Zhaoge smiled very peacefully.
Zhao Shilie looked at Zhao Hao, then at Zhao Yuan, then at Yan Zhaoge. His expression changed a few times, before he forced out a smile, "Zhaoge coming to visit, this Prince naturally welcomes you."
Looking at Zhao Yuan, he said in a heavy tone, "Royal Nephew Yuan actually knows an ancient alchemy technique from before the Great Calamity; this is truly worthy of celebration."
"I wonder when it can be popularised? This kind of technique is sufficient to allow the production of pills in the Eastern Tang to rise to a whole new level ah. "
Zhao Yuan cupped his hands in greeting, "What Royal Uncle Jin says is right. This nephew only has a rough understanding of it, and is currently still in the process of figuring it out. I want to at least have a preliminary plan before reporting it to Royal Father."
"Returning to the capital this time, I naturally have to report it to Royal Father."
"Perhaps the Pill Pavilion will first experiment with popularizing it? In any case, everything will be decided by Royal Father. "
Hearing his words, Zhao Shilie's eyebrows instantly jumped, almost unable to suppress the rage in his heart.
The Pill Pavilion's momentum had originally already risen a step further due to the Smoke Cloud Powder. Now, it was obviously going to rise to a whole new level.
Following its development, it could be foreseen that the Pill Pavilion would soon surpass the others, becoming one of the pillars of the Eastern Tang Kingdom.
But now, it no longer had anything to do with him …
Zhao Shilie sighed. He had still unconsciously underestimated Yan Zhaoge.
He was a Martial Grandmaster, and his own son was even older than Yan Zhaoge.
Although Yan Zhaoge had been in the limelight recently, letting everyone see his powerful strength and potential in the martial dao.
But Zhao Shilie really had not thought that Yan Zhaoge would also be able to suppress Zhao Hao in the field of alchemy.
As old Mr Wang had said, Zhao Hao's level of alchemy could be considered one of the top few in the entire world.
The level of alchemy was related to the martial practitioner's cultivation base, but it was not as closely related as the forging of artifacts.
To a certain extent, it was a whole other system of knowledge. Wanting to be proficient in it, not only talent was needed, it also required the accumulation of time and energy.
As Zhao Shilie saw it, with Yan Zhaoge having such high attainments in the martial dao, he naturally needed to be completely focused on his cultivation, which had already taken up a large amount of time and energy.
Even if his talent in alchemy was not bad, where would he find the time to invest in it?
If he had only coincidentally learnt an ancient secret technique, it would still be fine. But if Yan Zhaoge really had high attainments in the field of alchemy, that would be terrifying to the point that it was inconceivable.
Zhao Shilie could also be considered a person who had seen his fair share of storms and waves, but at this moment, he still felt as if his worldview and common sense had collapsed.
His expression changed continuously, finally turning into a bitter smile.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan also secretly sent over a sound transmission, "This time, it was really all thanks to you, Zhaoge. Before this, I had not thought that this Sixteenth Brother of mine had concealed himself so deeply."
"Today's favour, I will definitely repay you generously."
"When Royal Father asks about the Golden Needle Liberating Pill later, I will also need your opinion."
Yan Zhaoge replied, "At that time, I will naturally discuss it with Uncle. You can rest easy; this technique, under the condition that the number of people in the know is limited, can only be used by the Pill Pavilion."
"I understand," Zhao Yuan understood, "Rest easy, I will naturally not let Broad Creed Mountain suffer a loss."
Standing beside Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng asked, "It was you who helped that Eastern Tang First Prince, right?"
Yan Zhaoge put on a very reserved look on his face, "Hehe, low-key, low-key."
"Good, good, good. Low-key, low-key, you're the most low-key." Feng Yunsheng could not help but laugh as she shook her head, before asking curiously, "But this kind of secret technique, your Broad Creed Mountain doesn't keep it? Spreading it to the Eastern Tang Kingdom just like that, even though I have also heard that your father and the King of the Eastern Tang Kingdom are bosom buddies. "
Yan Zhaoge glanced at her, "You should have said 'our Broad Creed Mountain' instead."
Actually, Feng Yunsheng had still not officially entered the clan yet. Now, it was only Yan Zhaoge who had agreed to speak up for her; Broad Creed Mountain's exact attitude towards her was still uncertain.
However, hearing his words, Feng Yunsheng smiled brightly, "You're right; it's my fault; it's our Broad Creed Mountain."
"En, much more pleasing to the ears." Yan Zhaoge nodded satisfactorily, before saying, "Rest easy; I have already reported the Golden Needle Liberating Pill technique to my father; the clan also has a foundation of it."
"In the Eastern Tang, wanting to squeeze out the Sacred Sun Clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain, we would naturally have to put in some capital."
"Even without today's matter, we would still have made arrangements in this regard."
"That's why I wanted to swallow up Zhao Shilie's share of the Pill Pavilion."
Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers, "It's just that before this, I had never thought that it would be so simple and smooth."
