Ning Cheng subconsciously glanced at Ye Mo. He knew that Ye Mo must've added other materials like him when he was concocting pills. Otherwise, there wouldn't be ten pills left now. At the same time, Xing Xi also added other materials into her pill concoction.
Ning Cheng sighed helplessly. No one with a fortune treasure was weak indeed.
Now, each of them had ten pills left, but he and Ye Mo's slaughter pill were working together. This was caused by his will when he was concocting pills. It could be seen that Ye Mo also added the will to get rid of Xing Xi's pill when he was concocting pills.
The stage was isolated by restriction and no one's spirit sense could interfere.
"Kacha", one of the thirty medicinal pills broke into pieces. Ning Cheng's heart sunk. This shattered pill was his.
Before he could react, there were two more cracks. Ye Mo's pill and Xing Xi's pill each shattered.
Ning Cheng knew that the strongest person in this tournament was Xing Xi. Next was the Divine Dao Sect's sect leader Ye Mo. His power was ranked third. Just as he had expected, the slaughter pill not only competed in pill concoction but also cultivation level. From this, it could be seen that Xing Xi was probably the strongest in terms of pill concoction power alone.
At this moment, Ning Cheng was very worried. Time was almost up, and the three of them each had nine pills. If he couldn't get rid of one of Xing Xi's pills, then he might be ranked third or tied with Ye Mo for second.
He couldn't let Xing Xi get first. However, Ning Cheng couldn't control his slaughter pill to attack Xing Xi's dao pill.
The Slaughter Pill in the middle of the battle platform seemed to have understood Ning Cheng's thoughts, as the murderous aura suddenly turned violent, rolling up a whirlpool of aura as it rushed towards Xing Xi's pill. At the same time, Ye Mo's nine slaughter pills also erupted.
"Kacha!" Another sound of a pill shattering rang out.
Pills were pills after all. No matter how strong the slaughter chi was, it still lacked power in a real clash.
Ning Cheng rejoiced. This time, it was Xing Xi's pill. Xing Xi only had 8 slaughter pills. If he and Ye Mo attacked with their slaughter pills, Xing Xi would be kicked out of first for sure.
Xing Xi's Slaughter Pills seemed to know that the situation wasn't good. They suddenly dispersed and rushed out of the encirclement. The scattered pills immediately stirred up the Slaughter Pills refined by the other cultivators. The Slaughter Pills were originally hiding at the side of the stage, but after this disturbance, the Slaughter Qi in the stage once again spread out.
Even though the Slaughter Pills at this time had become even fewer, the Slaughter Pills that were left behind were the few that had the strongest Slaughter Qi.
The sounds of pills shattering became more frequent, and after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Fei Yin suddenly threw down the array flag. The murderous aura on the stage suddenly slowed down, and the pills that were tangled together slowly separated and fell on the jade plate that had been prepared in advance.
There were a total of seven jade plates floating in the air. The first and second jade plates had seven pills on them respectively, while the third jade plate had six pills. The fourth jade plate only had two elixirs, while the other jade plates only had one elixir each.
Ning Cheng breathed easy, he knew that he only had seven pills left. Xing Xi still had six pills left under his and Ye Mo's Slaughter Pills. This woman was too strong.
Indeed, Fei Yin stood on the stage and announced "The second round of the pill battle has ended, there are seven pills concocted by pill divine left. Because we're only taking the top three, the pill divine with the first four jade plates please come on the stage. "
Ning Cheng stepped onto the stage and saw other than Ye Mo and Xing Xi, there was also a white haired old man he had never seen before. This white haired old man seemed to be at creation state. His long white hair made him seem to have the immortal chi of the Longevity God.
The white haired old man stood next to the jade plate that only had two pills left. Clearly, he concocted these two pills.
"Now, I announce the first place of the first round is two people, Ye Mo and Ning Cheng, second is Xing Xi, third is Liao Geng daoist …"
As Fei Yin's announcement sounded, the first round of the pill battle ended. There were two people in first place, Ning Cheng and Ye Mo. The second place was that woman who suddenly joined. Third was an old man many people didn't know, he was called Liao Geng daoist.
Ning Cheng knew very well that his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy could only rank third here, while this woman named Xing Xi ranked first. Not only Ning Cheng knew this, but the judges also knew this. But no one would stand up and say anything. This woman was an uninvited guest.
The first pill competition ended in less than a day's time. One could see that the purpose of this competition was to quickly divide the realms of heaven beyond.
Xing Xi didn't say anything and just grabbed the pills she concocted and asked Fei Yin "What's the second round?"
Fei Yin already knew that Xing Xi wasn't simple so he quickly answered "The second round is forgery battle. The host is Shou Yi realm's dao friend He Lan Feng."
He Lanfeng landed beside Fei Yin and nodded to Xing Xi. Then, he cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoists, everyone knows that having a good Dharma treasure is a guarantee for a starry sky cultivator's life. Now, let's move on to the second round, which is the forgery battle. I'll host the forgery battle. I'm He Lan Feng from Shou Yi realm. There are a total of 921 people who signed up for the forgery battle … "
Xing Xi interrupted He Lanfeng and said, "I will also participate in the battle of tools." Then, she turned around and flew off the stage.
This woman was really arrogant. This was He Lan Feng's only impression of her. He knew that she was very powerful. If she wasn't, Mountain Gaze Dao Lord wouldn't have accommodated her.
"Dao friends, the second round also has no round limit. The final goal is to decide the top three …"
When He Lan Feng announced on the stage, many people who were participating or watching already knew that there wouldn't be too many rounds. There definitely wouldn't be too many rounds for Dueling Weapons. It was just like Pill Duels only had two rounds to decide the winner. At the moment, it was better to decide the top ten as soon as possible.
This was purely a competition for points and not a competition to verify one's alchemy or blacksmithing abilities.
"Before the competition in Heaven's Beyond, we said that we wouldn't provide any materials for this competition. However, we'll provide materials for the first round of blacksmithing … "
Ning Cheng was a little puzzled by He Lan Feng's words. Even though he didn't know the content of the competition, he knew that it wasn't really a test of strength but to determine the ranking. Since they were providing materials, it was really a competition of strength.
Everyone was using the same kind of material. Naturally, those who were capable would be ranked at the top while those who were incapable would be ranked at the bottom.
Upon seeing the discussion going on below the stage, He Lan Feng simply waved his hand and threw nearly 1,000 fist-sized things. These things floated in the void of the stage.
Were these Dharma treasure fragments? Ning Cheng immediately recognised these things at a glance. He had seen too many such Dharma treasure fragments back in the Jia Liang Mountain's Heaven Earth Divine Tomb.
Although the Dharma treasure fragments thrown out by He Lan Feng were fragmented, their Dao runes were crisscrossing, showing that their levels were not low. These were fragments of a top-notch Dharma treasure. It was unknown whether He Lan Feng had provided these Dharma treasure fragments or the seven people who hosted the competition had provided them together.
While Ning Cheng was still puzzled, He Lan Feng continued, "These Dharma treasure fragments were provided by Dao Lord Mountain Gaze of the Heavenly Gate Realm, who participated in the first Creation War. He also picked up these Dharma treasure fragments from the battlefield of the first Creation War. Most importantly … "
He Lan Feng deliberately paused before continuing, "Most importantly, these Dharma treasure fragments are from a Dharma treasure. The quality of this Dharma treasure can even surpass any divine weapon. Although it can't be compared to a Connate Dharma treasure, it's second only to a Connate Dharma treasure …"
Upon hearing this, everyone was secretly shocked. An existence second only to a Connate Dharma treasure had actually been blasted into pieces. There were even 1,000 fragments. Just how powerful was the Dharma treasure that bombarded this Dharma treasure?
"The first round of the Artefact Duel is for each person to obtain a Dharma treasure fragment. Then, based on the aura of the Dharma treasure fragment, you have to find out what the Dharma treasure was like before it broke and what its main function was. The second round is to refine the Dharma treasure fragment you obtained and extract the materials used to refine the Dharma treasure. The purer the materials, the higher the score. "
Hearing He Lan Feng's words, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Not only the people participating in the Artefact Duel, but even the onlookers also sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even those who didn't understand artefact-crafting knew that once the materials were melted and started to refine the Dharma treasure, the materials would start to change. Moreover, different flames and different spiritual consciousnesses would cause different changes to the Dharma treasure. Sometimes, even a small difference could cause a huge change in the materials.
Because of this, people could use the same materials to refine different things. Some people could even refine Dharma treasures with completely opposite effects.
Although it was difficult to identify the original form of the Dharma treasure fragment, it was still possible. Extracting the original materials from the fragments was simply too difficult.
Ning Cheng also felt speechless. This was the most difficult question he had encountered since he participated in the various Artefact Duels. Fortunately, this question came up during the Artefact Crafting Round. If Fei Yin had taken out a medicinal pill during the Alchemy Round and asked him to restore the Divine Grass, he would have directly admitted defeat …
Directly admitted defeat? Ning Cheng suddenly recalled Dao Lord Mountain Gazing's words. What was the purpose of cultivation? To set foot at the peak of the vast universe and control one's own destiny.
His Grand Dao was the Primal Chaos Unification. If he cultivated his Grand Dao to the extreme, the entire vast universe would be under his control. Wouldn't he be able to restore a Dharma treasure fragment to its original form with just a raise of his hand? Not to mention Dharma treasures, even medicinal pills could be restored to the state of Spiritual Grasses as long as one had that kind of spiritual power.
No matter how many changes a material went through, its original form would never change.
