Ning Cheng saw that the other nine Pill Masters had a puzzled look on their faces, as if they could not figure out why Kong Lianbo had come up with such a topic, causing him to sigh with emotion in his heart.
Looking at the expressions of these alchemists, it was clear that these alchemists in the top ten all knew that the Heavenly Heaven Pill couldn't be refined in a place with incomplete laws, but he still wanted to ask Si Chen Qiu Tian. Situ Chen's Qiu Tian, on the other hand, had failed 51 batches of Heavenly Heavenly Pills in a row before barely reaching this conclusion.
This was the gap between them. If he hadn't gotten the chance to look at the Universe Flora, would he have been able to get to where he was now?
"Now, I will place the divine herbs required to refine the Heavenly Heaven Pill in front of you Pill Refiners. Pill Refiners, please count the divine herbs required for the Heavenly Heaven Pill. In a while, the pill competition altar's surroundings would be locked by a spatial magic treasure. All the alchemists on the pill competition platform will not be able to sense the aura of the laws of heaven and earth. " After Kong Lianbo finished speaking, he waved his hand, and piles of divine grasses appeared in front of the ten alchemists.
Ning Cheng estimated that he would lose miserably in this round. He helplessly looked at Sire Chen Qiu Tian. Sire Chen Qiu Tian gave him a nod as a sign of encouragement. Ning Cheng then looked at Qianqian. If he couldn't get the first place, then his status would not be as high as he had imagined. At that time, it would be much more difficult for him to help Qianqian.
When Qianqian saw Ning Cheng looking at her, she also made an encouraging gesture.
Ning Cheng nodded, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Nianyan's body. Nianyan suddenly shook her head at Ning Cheng, then closed her eyes and turned her head.
Ning Cheng retracted his gaze and looked at the pile of divine grasses in front of him. What did Nianyan mean by this? Was he telling him not to worry? Ning Cheng also did not think much about it, he estimated that he would not be able to obtain the first position.
Looking at the pile of divine grasses in front of him, Ning Cheng picked up the Heaven Essence Dao Fruit and thought about how to refine this furnace of Heaven Essence Heavenly Pills. Even if he failed, he could still get some points for the process.
When he picked up the Heaven Essence Fruit, he found that there was a branch that emitted a faint light under the Heaven Essence Fruit. It seemed that nothing could land on this branch. This branch was born to not be stained by dust.
"Is this a Dustless Branch?" Ning Cheng put down the Heaven Essence Fruit in shock and picked up the Dustless Branch.
If he hadn't seen the plants in the universe, he wouldn't have known what a Dustless Branch was. But now, Ning Cheng had a very clear understanding of the Dustless Branch.
Among this pile of divine herbs, the most precious one was neither the Heaven Essence Fruit nor the Extreme Yin Sacred Fruit, but this Dustless Branch.
Back when he and Lu Dongce battled, Kong Lianbo took out a divine herb called the Sakya Flower. The Sakya Flower was very precious because it was a non-elemental divine herb.
The Dustless Branch was somewhat similar to the Sakya Flower, but it was many times more precious than the Sakya Flower. This was because not only did the Dustless Branch not have any attributes, but it also did not contain any Laws. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that if he could obtain such a spiritual item, he could use his own Dao Rhyme aura to nurture the Dustless Branch again. This way, the Dustless Branch would have the Elemental Law Dao Rhyme that he needed.
The Heavenly Qianyuan Pill's pill recipe originally didn't have the Dustless Branch. Could it be that the pill competition added the Dustless Branch to the Heavenly Qianyuan Pill's pill recipe so that pill refiners could cultivate the Heavenly Qianyuan Pill's Laws of Heaven and Earth, and then add these Laws of Heaven and Earth into the Heavenly Qianyuan Pill?
That must be the case. Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Heavenly Pill be refined?
In other words, the first and second rounds of the competition had a purpose. The purpose of nurturing the Half-Blooming Epiphyllum was to lay the foundation for the third round. If one couldn't even nurture the Half-Blooming Epiphyllum, then participating in the third round would just be a waste of the Dustless Branch.
Because nurturing the Dustless Branch was much more complicated than nurturing the Half-Blooming Epiphyllum. The Half-Blooming Epiphyllum only needed to nurture it with the Laws of Heaven and Earth. However, the Dustless Branch could nurture divine grasses with different Laws of Heaven and Earth according to the cultivator's Dao Laws. Not only did it require the cultivator to integrate their own Laws of Heaven and Earth, but it also required the cultivator to transform the Laws of Heaven and Earth into the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
To put it simply, the Dustless Branch was like a blank piece of paper. You could draw the Laws of Heaven and Earth that you needed according to the cultivation method. The Dustless Branch also had another characteristic, that is, it could store all kinds of Laws of Heaven and Earth for a short time.
So the third round was actually like this, Ning Cheng felt slightly relieved. In his heart, he secretly admired the organizer's courage to take out so many Dustless Branch at once.
With his ability, it would be a bit difficult to nurture the Laws of Heaven and Earth that he needed with the Dustless Branch. This was because his cultivation was limited. However, the Dustless Branch gave him a new idea. He had refined the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill before. As for why the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill needed a place with complete Laws of Heaven and Earth, he also understood.
The Primordial Dao Realm and the Dao Transformation Realm were two completely different things. The Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill was a dao pill that allowed Dao Transformation Holy Emperors to comprehend the Laws of Primordial Dao Realm. Therefore, it naturally had very low requirements for the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
He couldn't use the Dustless Branch to nurture the Laws of Heaven and Earth that the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill required. However, he could use the Dustless Branch as a medium and use his Returning to One Dao to arrange a small space of Laws of Heaven and Earth in his pill furnace. As long as this space contained all kinds of Laws of Heaven and Earth, he could refine the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill.
For others, this might be several times more difficult than nurturing the Dustless Branch that contained the Laws of Heaven and Earth. However, this was not the case for him.
His Mysterious Yellow Bead was a world with supreme Laws. Since cultivating the Mysterious Yellow Formless, his control over the Laws of Heaven and Earth had far surpassed that of ordinary Dao Confirming Holy Emperors. Because of this, he could comprehend the Law Breaking Spirit Technique with half a Bestowing Lawless Fruit.
Furthermore, his sea of consciousness was strong enough to allow him to do this.
With the refining plan in hand, Ning Cheng felt much more at ease. He looked up and glanced around again. The alchemists participating in the third round of the pill competition all looked a little worried. Even if they knew the function of the Dustless Branch, it wouldn't be easy to use it. Soon, Ning Cheng saw Nianyan shaking her head slightly at him from a distance under the altar.
No, this wasn't to comfort him and not to worry. If she wanted to comfort him, she wouldn't shake her head at him twice in a row.
Ning Cheng admired Nianyan's strength and her carefree attitude towards cultivation. Although he hadn't been in contact with Nianyan for a long time, Nianyan's voice transmission had helped him walk out of a dead end. One could say that Nianyan's calmness and understanding of Dao Intent had completely integrated into heaven and earth.
Was Nianyan trying to persuade him not to participate in the third round? Yes, others could only cultivate the Dustless Branch and let it possess the Laws of Heaven and Earth of the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill to refine pills. However, he could use the Dustless Branch as a medium to arrange a space of Laws of Heaven and Earth. What did this mean? It meant that his control over the Laws of Heaven and Earth was far better than others. Why could he do this? Because of the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
Whether he guessed correctly or not, Ning Cheng understood Nianyan's meaning. He didn't know how Nianyan could see that he was different from others, but he had to be careful. No matter how good the wood-attributed supreme-grade god spirit vein and the Primordial Dao Fruit were, they weren't as good as his life.
"If there are no questions, I will seal off the pill competition altar. The third round of the pill competition will begin soon. The third round of the competition will last for six months. During this period, the Alchemy School will activate the Great Dao Perception Spirit Dao Array. Friends watching the pill competition can feel the Great Dao Dao Aura of the Alchemy School while watching the pill competition. "Kong Lianbo said loudly on the pill competition altar.
Kong Lianbo's words attracted a burst of cheers. Many people came here to participate in the pill competition with the purpose of activating the Spirit Dao Array in case the Alchemy School opened it. Six months was not a long time for a cultivator. If one could feel the Great Dao Aura under the Alchemy School's Spirit Dao Array, it would be a dream come true.
The Alchemy School's Spirit Dao Array contained countless Alchemy Dao Aura. Once the Spirit Dao Array was activated, cultivators could not only feel their own Great Dao Aura and spirit technique's Dao Aura, but they could also feel other law-related spirit techniques.
Ning Cheng stood up and cupped his fists, "May I ask Association Master Kong, can I come out early after I fail in the third round?"
Kong Lianbo shook his head, "No, you have to wait for all the alchemists to finish the competition before you can come out."
Ning Cheng made a sighing expression and said, "I won't hide it from Association Master Kong. I once refined dozens of Heavenly Essence Pills in a lawless space, but all of them failed without exception. Later, I also obtained a Dustless Branch, but I still failed. Therefore, I will definitely fail in the third round. Instead of wasting divine grasses, I might as well admit defeat in advance. "
After saying that, Ning Cheng cupped his fists towards Kong Lianbo again and left the pill competition altar.
Kong Lianbo didn't expect Ning Cheng to withdraw from the third round. Not only did Kong Lianbo not expect it, but the other alchemists and the audience also didn't expect it. Although Si Chen Qiu Tian knew that Ning Cheng had never refined dozens of Heavenly Essence Pills, he didn't say anything and just showed a regretful expression.
Mu Zuoxiao, who initiated the pill competition, frowned slightly. He was optimistic about Ning Cheng, but his only regret was that Ning Cheng's cultivation was too low. The third question was indeed a bit difficult for him, so it wasn't difficult for him to understand Ning Cheng's withdrawal.
Unfortunately, the third question wasn't set by him, but by his master. At that time, his master once said that if someone could refine a Heaven and Earth Ephemeral Pill that surpassed the eight elemental laws, then he would set the question of refining the Heavenly Essence Pill in lawless space. If not, then he would set the previous question.
But now, someone managed to refine a Heaven and Earth Ephemeral Pill with nine elemental laws. However, the alchemist didn't participate in the third round at all. In fact, asking a Dao Nourishment Sacred Emperor to cultivate a Dustless Branch that contained the laws of heaven and earth was a bit too much.
Mu Zuoxiao sighed. If he wanted to withdraw, then so be it. He would have to have a good chat with Ning Cheng later. Seeing Kong Lianbo look over, Mu Zuoxiao nodded and said, "Alchemist Ning Cheng has withdrawn. The competition will continue."
Seeing that Kong Lianbo didn't stop him from withdrawing, Ning Cheng felt slightly relieved.
It was better not to participate in such a purposeful pill competition. Fortunately, Nianyan reminded him. Without Nianyan, he would have definitely participated in the third round of refining the Heavenly Essence Pill. He might have even succeeded in the end.
Ning Cheng had just sat down when Nianyan's voice transmission rang in his ear, "I'll be leaving first. If you have time, you can leave in an hour and then go to Shallow Cloud Manor."
Ning Cheng didn't send a voice transmission back. He decided to believe in Nianyan. In any case, Nianyan didn't seem like the kind of person who would scheme against others.
