The benefits of not having to refine the Orb of Will with pure spiritual energy were obvious. It wouldn't be affected by the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures in the Orb of Will, and could be directly absorbed into the art source. The effects were astonishing. A single Basic Immortal Pill had the same effect as a hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will, and it didn't even take a long time to refine.
It was good, but with so many cultivators in the cultivation realm, how many of them could actually consume an immortal pill? Only the Six Sages knew the method to refine the Basic Immortal Pill. It was said that it came from the Greater Realm, and the spiritual herbs used to refine it weren't easy to obtain, so it couldn't be enjoyed by everyone. Therefore, aside from the Six Sages, there weren't many who could enjoy the immortal pill. The others were only able to do so because they were rewarded by the Six Sages. This immortal pill could be said to be exclusive to the Six Sages. Normal people wouldn't even have the chance to see it, let alone eat it.
Aside from their disciples, the only ones who could receive the rewards of the Six Sages were probably those at the level of the Twelve Overlords. Normal people really couldn't touch it.
Moreover, those with too low a cultivation wouldn't be able to enjoy the Basic Immortal Pill even if they had it. It wasn't like the Orbs of Will, which could be slowly refined. Once the spiritual energy inside was released, it would explode like an avalanche. There wouldn't be much buffer time, and those with too low a cultivation wouldn't be able to withstand it.
If a White Lotus cultivator swallowed an immortal pill, his art source would probably explode immediately. Not only that, but his body would explode to death. It was even more potent than the most poisonous poison. Even a Blue Lotus cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand the powerful spiritual energy contained within. Even a late-stage Blue Lotus cultivator might be able to withstand the explosion, but his art source wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of such powerful spiritual energy. Once his art source was destroyed, his cultivation would be crippled as well.
Of course, there were ways to not be crippled. One could quickly release the spiritual energy from the body, and only absorb a small amount of it. But was there still a need to consume the Basic Immortal Pill? What was the difference between using it and recklessly wasting it?
Therefore, this Basic Immortal Pill could only be used by a Red Lotus cultivator, at the very least.
Fifty Basic Immortal Pills was equivalent to taking out five million low-grade Orbs of Will as a wager, and the effect was far better than Orbs of Will. How many years would it take to refine five million Orbs of Will?
Someone who could use Basic Immortal Pills as a reward. Apart from the Six Sages, there was no seventh person in the entire cultivation world who could do such a thing, and only the Six Sages could be so generous. Speaking of which, the dignified Dao Saint Feng Beichen would probably lose face if he didn't take out a generous reward in front of everyone.
This was the only reward. Even if there were people who looked down on Feng Beichen, they would realize how far apart they were from the Dao Saints. They could only look up to them. The difference between the Six Sages and the other cultivators was obvious.
Many people were drooling at the sight of this prize. Even the various Overlords were tempted, let alone Miao Yi and the others. However, with their status, they wouldn't snatch a bone from Feng Beichen just because he tossed it out. Even someone like Cheng Aofang wouldn't lower herself to do such a thing. It would have been fine if there weren't so many people watching.
The officials on this trip probably wouldn't accept the dog bones that Feng Beichen had tossed out. Only the non-officials would benefit from it.
The people from the various sects had obviously guessed what the officials were thinking. They immediately rubbed their palms together, not knowing how to fight for it.
Since it was a prize, naturally there would be a competition to determine who was the winner. It all depended on what rules the Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect would set as the host.
Most people's attention immediately shifted from the Exquisite Refinement Pagoda to the Sect Master.
He cupped his fists towards the crowd. Chuckling, he said, "To liven things up. There's nothing fancy about it. Everyone will spar with each other to see who's better. All cultivators within the Red Lotus realm are allowed to participate. Only the top three will be selected. There will be fifty Basic Immortal Pills as a prize. The first place will receive thirty, the second place will receive fifteen, and the third place will receive five. As for the rules, it's simple. The scope of the competition will be limited to this basin. One on one, no helpers allowed, and there are no restrictions on the methods used. Everyone will do their best. They will be divided into groups one, two, and three. Those who think they have the ability to compete for first place will compete for first place. Those who think they are suitable for second place will compete for second place. Those who think they are confident of getting third place will compete for third place. Whichever level you join will be fixed. You are not allowed to change your ranking midway, or else the competition will never end. You may challenge, or you may accept. In short, everyone should act according to their own abilities and make their own plans. Don't force yourself. However, I'll say the ugly words first. Everyone, try not to go overboard, and don't hurt each other. If there's an accident, the sect will not be held responsible. Those who are interested can give it a try. The competition will begin now. May I know who is willing to go first? "
The reason why the Golden Lotus and Purple Lotus cultivators weren't included was simple. Putting aside whether or not they were willing to go first, those with a higher cultivation would be more likely to get into trouble. The sect didn't want the main objective of the Treasure Appraisal Conference to be affected by a little competition for the prize. They just wanted to have a little fun.
The representatives of the various nations sat calmly in their seats, while the members of the various sects discussed fervently among themselves. They were all a little restless as they swept their gazes across the crowd, estimating what kind of opponents they might face and deciding which ranking they should choose to compete for. Miao Yi's heart suddenly turned cold when he heard the rules.
He picked up his wine cup and slowly took a sip. His gaze subtly glanced at Bai Ziliang, who was standing on the opposite mountain. Truth be told, even though he wanted to kill Bai Ziliang, he didn't want to be in the limelight. There were too many higher-ups from the various nations here!
However, he noticed that Bai Ziliang was also looking at him. His gaze was cold and filled with killing intent.
Bai Ziliang couldn't forget the humiliation he received after coming in last place among the six nations during the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Even his own mother couldn't lift her head after that. He believed that all of this was because of 'Yan Beihong'. If 'Yan Beihong' hadn't destroyed his Demon Refining Gourd, if 'Yan Beihong' hadn't swindled so many Geotranscendence Bangles away, he wouldn't have lost so badly. Not to mention that the humiliation the Western Constellations Palace mother and son had suffered was all because of this' Yan Beihong '!
To him, the humiliation he suffered during the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade was something he would never forget for the rest of his life. It had also completely changed his fate and his once indifferent attitude towards the world. The culprit behind all of this was right before his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to tear him to shreds!
Yue Tianbo, Cheng Aofang, and the others subconsciously looked at Miao Yi as well, then shifted their gazes towards Ji Meimei and her son. Yue Tianbo and the others had clearly heard the battle in the workshop. They didn't know if the two of them would actually fight.
Seeing that everyone was still deliberating, Yue Tianbo asked again, "Is there no one willing to go?"
At this urging, Bai Ziliang from the Yao Nation abruptly stood up. With a flash, he landed on the stage and was the first to step into the ring. He loudly said, "I, Bai Ziliang from the Yao Nation, am willing to fight for first place. Who will fight me?!"
Aside from those in the know, the officials of the six nations were all a little surprised. The various sects and schools were also a little surprised. They originally thought that the officials wouldn't step into the ring, but now that Bai Ziliang had suddenly appeared, the Yao Nation's sects immediately quieted down. At the very least, they wouldn't go out and fight Bai Ziliang. The other sects and schools also began to consider their options. After all, Bai Ziliang was from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons. His methods were probably not just any ordinary person, so they were a little hesitant.
"Who is this Bai Ziliang?" Feng Beichen's voice transmission suddenly sounded in Mo Yue's ears.
Mo Yue turned around and replied, "He's Ji Meimei's son. The one who participated in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Before that, Ji Meimei even begged me to refine a transcendent artifact for her."
Feng Beichen chuckled, then said to his wife, Qin Xi, "He's Ji Huan's grandson. I didn't think he would be the first to step up. Interesting."
Over on the Yao Nation's side, Ji Dehai's expression had already darkened. Even though he hadn't invoked his arts to let everyone know, he didn't care that the people around him could hear him. He immediately berated, "Ji Meimei, has your son never seen anything before? Why would he even bother picking up a dog bone? "
Ji Meimei hurriedly stood up and replied, "Brother! It's not that Ziliang is trying to show off. It's just that he has a duel with the Celestial Nation's Yan Beihong. The two of them have agreed to fight to the death! "
Naturally, she had to speak up for her son. She didn't think that her son would be a match for 'Yan Beihong' once he reached the Red Lotus realm after cultivating the Ten Thousand Demons Art. Not to mention, she had even made a decent protective armor artifact for her son. Moreover, her son's cultivation was only at the Red Lotus Second Grade. Thirty Basic Immortal Pills was more than enough for her son to quickly raise his cultivation by one level. She didn't have many cultivation resources in the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, so why not let her son fight for it?
"A duel to the death!" Ji Dehai furrowed his brows and didn't say anything else. At least the others around him heard this explanation.
"Yan Beihong?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Ji Meimei turned around and explained, "That's right. It's Yan Beihong. If it weren't for Yan Beihong's trickery during the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, Ziliang's ranking wouldn't have been so bad. Now that he has the chance, there's no way Ziliang will let him go!" She wanted to seize the opportunity to help her son clear his name.
"Oh!" The Overlord nodded and asked, "Which one is Yan Beihong?"
Ji Meimei immediately pointed to the top of the Celestial Nation's mountain and said, "At the very front, on the far right, there's that shifty-eyed guy!"
Everyone, including Ji Dehai, looked over. The guy at the very front and right of the Celestial Nation's mountain looked quite heroic. Even though he wasn't exactly handsome, he still looked decent. There was no way he could be considered shifty-eyed.
'If that's what you call shifty-eyed, then how many of our people can't even compare to him?' Everyone, including Ji Dehai, was a little speechless. However, they could understand what a mother was feeling. It would be strange if her son's enemy was pleasing to the eye. No matter how one looked at him, he might look disgusting. At times like this, women were completely unreasonable.
Down below, the White Bone Demon King turned around and asked, "Ji Meimei, isn't that Niu Er who was hiding at the Tempest Tavern? How did it turn into Yan Beihong? "
Many people had the same question. Ji Meimei replied, "He's used to doing shady things. That Niu Er is Yan Beihong!"
