Now that the two alchemists had finished refining, it was time to determine the winner and loser.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see who had won this competition, but before the final result was announced, everyone was still looking forward to it.
"My two beloved ministers, please present your pills and let's see who won and who lost." The Emperor said faintly as he tidied up his appearance.
Yang Wu had already used a jade bottle to store the three pills in the furnace. Each pill had a very obvious pill pattern, proving that it was a "One Tribulation Heaven Pill."
Every three lightning strikes was a tribulation. Yang Wu's elixir and Yao Lingyu's elixir were both One Tribulation Elixir, but there was a huge gap between the two. There was no comparison at all.
Yang Wu was just about to present his Heaven Pill when Yao Lingyu coldly snorted and said, "This round counts as my loss, but Yang Wu, don't be so smug."
After saying that, he actually ignored the Emperor and the civil and military officials. He turned around and walked towards his flying crane couch, ready to leave.
How could Yang Wu let him leave so easily? In a flash, he was already in front of Yao Lingyu and said, "Pavilion Master of the Medicine King's Pavilion, you're losing your poise."
"I've already admitted defeat. What else do you want? Do you really think my Medicine King's Pavilion is easy to bully?" Yao Lingyu said as he glared at Yang Wu with dissatisfaction.
"I already said that you're a traitor. The Emperor asked us to present our pills, but you just threw down a sentence and left. This is a great disrespect to the Emperor, and you still have reason?" Yang Wu shouted at Yao Lingyu in front of everyone.
Yao Lingyu's face turned green and red. He couldn't wait to strangle Yang Wu to death. He turned to the Emperor and cupped his hands and said, "Emperor, Lingyu consumed a lot of energy to refine the pills. I'm also willing to admit defeat. Lingyu will withdraw first."
Without waiting for the emperor to agree, he prepared to slip away again. Yang Wu stopped him again. He said angrily: "Yang Wu, do you want to start a war?"
"Haha, this competition was instigated by your Medicine King's Pavilion. Now that you've lost, you have to fulfill your promise. In the future, your Medicine King's Pavilion can forget about taking half a step into the Medicine Hall's storehouse. Do you hear me clearly?" Yang Wu said with a smile.
Yao Lingyu really wanted to give Yang Wu a few punches, but he still forced himself to endure. He coldly snorted at Yang Wu and said, "Alright, from now on, no one from the Medicine King Pavilion will step foot into the Medicine Hall's storehouse."
Then, he wanted to leave quickly. He didn't want to stay here for even a moment longer. He had already lost all his face.
Yang Wu did not intend to let him go. Once again, he stood in front of him and said, "Your Excellency, I know that you are not convinced and will definitely take revenge on me. However, I advise you not to have any bad ideas. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences."
"After so many years, you are the first person to threaten me. Shaowu Count, you are very good." Yao Lingyu took a deep breath and responded. He avoided Yang Wu and smoothly flew towards his soft couch. Yang Wu's voice sounded again, "Your Excellency, this is the imperial palace. You are not allowed to fly."
The Crane King, who was just about to take off, was pressed down by Yao Lingyu. He had no choice but to crawl out slowly.
Yao Lingyu clenched his fists tightly as he cursed in his heart, "If I don't kill this little bastard, I swear I am not human."
Yao Lingyu's group smoothly left the imperial palace. The competition for the alchemist position came to an end just like that.
"Beloved minister Yang Wu is good, haha." The Emperor clapped his hands and praised Yang Wu.
The surrounding civil and military officials, whether they were willing or not, all followed suit and applauded.
Yang Wu ostentatiously waved his hand at the Emperor and the others. His face revealed a righteous expression as he said, "Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to the Emperor is Yang Wu's enemy. Even if Yang Wu dies, I will still reprimand them."
It would have been better if he didn't say this. After he said this, the civil and military officials all felt their internal organs churn. They wanted to vomit on the spot.
They had seen many shameless people, but it was definitely the first time they had seen someone as shameless as Yang Wu.
Who didn't know that he had repeatedly defied the imperial edict when he just returned to the imperial city? He actually had the face to say this in front of everyone. His skin was so thick that no one could compare to him.
The Emperor pretended not to understand and continued to praise Yang Wu, "That's right. Beloved minister Yang Wu is a loyal minister worthy of everyone to learn from. Beloved minister Yang Wu, quickly bring your Dan for zhen to see."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Wu didn't refuse and handed over a Dan for a eunuch to present.
The eunuch brought the Dan to the Emperor and Empress. They looked at each other and revealed expressions of amazement. This Dan was round like a work of art. The dazzling Dan pattern released an alluring color, giving people the feeling of wanting to swallow it on the spot.
They looked at it for a while before passing it to Chen Zhao and Han Qingqian. Chen Zhao and Han Qingqian were even more excited than them.
"Can the two of you take a look at what level this Dan is?" The Emperor asked the two of them.
Chen Zhao first praised in surprise, "This Dan is undoubtedly a Heaven Dan. From the Dan Light and Dan Fragrance just now, we can determine that. Looking at this Dan Pattern, it's obviously a Heaven Dan Pattern. It's something that Dan King's Dan Pattern can't compare to."
After the civil and military officials heard that it was a Heaven Dan, there was another uproar. This meant that Yang Wu had become the youngest Heavenly Alchemist in the history of the Great Xia. He was also the only Heavenly Alchemist in the Great Xia. Even the old Hall Master of the Medicine King's Hall might not have reached this step.
Han Qingqian added, "That's right. The Heaven Dan Pattern is incomparably clear and distinct, and it even contains a trace of Heaven's Might. Consuming it will yield great benefits, but I can't tell what kind of Dan this is. Let's have Count Shaowu explain it to us."
Yang Wu said without hesitation, "This is the 'Qi Reversal Dan'. Aside from being able to cleanse the marrow and meridians, it can also reverse the damaged Dantian and restore the Dantian to its peak. If an Earth Sea Realm King consumes it, they can at least advance two levels. It's even effective for Heaven Realm Experts."
After he said this, no one could remain calm anymore.
The Qi Reversal Dan's medicinal effects were so powerful. If they could obtain one, it wouldn't be difficult to nurture a Heavenly Fish Realm expert, but it wouldn't be difficult to nurture a top-notch King.
General Luo Gongming opened his mouth and said, "I wonder if Count Shaowu's Dan can be traded? This old man is very interested."
"Count Shaowu, this official also wants it. Name a price." Another old official also loudly shouted.
"Count Shaowu, this official and your Yang family are old friends. Your grandfather is also my mentor. Considering the friendship between our two families, trade the Dan to me."
"I also want it. Count Shaowu, name a price. Even if I have to go bankrupt, I still want it."
… …
The civil and military officials all scrambled to be the first to shout. There was no longer any solemn atmosphere.
The appearance of a Heaven Dan Pill was definitely a rare occurrence in the mortal world.
The Emperor naturally couldn't remain calm. He loudly said, "Silence, silence. What are you all shouting about? Are you not putting me in your eyes?"
After he spoke, the officials all quieted down a little. However, their eyes were not restless at all. They were all focused on Yang Wu. At this moment, Yang Wu's radiance had already overshadowed the Emperor.
If it was in the past, the Emperor would definitely be unhappy. However, he didn't mind now. The Heavenly Alchemist already had the qualifications to be on equal footing with him. What else could he say?
Yang Wu faced everyone's reaction and said incomparably calmly, "Everyone, don't count on it. Yang Wu is prepared to offer this Dan Pill to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
After he said this, he bowed 90 degrees. Even if the civil and military officials were slow, they also bowed and shouted, "Long live the Emperor."
They weren't Yao Lingyu. How would they dare to challenge the Emperor's dignity?
The Emperor's face smiled like a chrysanthemum. It was so dazzling and bright. He repeatedly said, "Good, good, good, good, good, I didn't misjudge you."
This was definitely the happiest day for him in recent years.
Who would have thought that the Young Medicine King, who disobeyed the Emperor's orders, suddenly changed his temperament and offered him a Heaven Dan Pill. This Dan Pill was priceless. It was priceless.
Yang Wu said in a dignified manner, "As a citizen of Daxia, this is what this minister should do."
Today, he naturally had his own reasons for offering the pills. He already had enough enemies. If he appeased the Emperor first, he wouldn't have too many worries. His Yang Family would at least be safe for a short period of time. Then, he would be able to do what he wanted to do without fear. Who knows, the Emperor might even help him.
Among the civil and military officials, Prince Fu An and Prime Minister Song looked gloomy. They realized that Yang Wu was too scheming. He was like an old fox, not easy to deal with.
At the same time, they all felt a sense of crisis. They were afraid that Yang Wu will come to deal with them at any time.
"Well said, Yang Wu, my beloved subject, listen to the Emperor's decree. Today, my beloved subject has become a Heavenly Alchemist. You are the youngest Heavenly Alchemist since the founding of Daxia. You are also the only known Heavenly Alchemist. I hereby confer you the title of First Rank Marquis. I also confer you the title of 'Heavenly Alchemist'. You will also be rewarded with 10,000 gold taels, 10 low-grade Xuan spirit stones, a set of Flood Dragon Robe, a piece of seven-patterned purple jade, and three pieces of Royal Armaments …" The Emperor was very happy. He gave a series of rewards to Yang Wu.
Only those who have made countless contributions to Daxia can become a Marquis. Yang Wu also became the youngest First Rank Marquis in history. He can almost be compared to a Prince. The other rewards were also very rich, but for a Heavenly Dan, it was nothing.
Yang Wu knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The civil and military officials all revealed looks of envy. Some of them had been officials for most of their lives but had never been able to obtain such glory. Yang Wu, on the other hand, had relied on a single alchemy competition to obtain the glory that they yearned for but were unable to obtain. It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.
From today onwards, they all knew that Yang Wu had become the most noble young Lord in Daxia. They must not look at him with the same eyes as before. They must curry favor with him.
At the same time, they thought that Medicine King Hall would not let this matter go. They wanted to see what kind of reaction Medicine King Hall would have in the future.
No matter what, they felt that Yang Wu had an unstoppable momentum. It was as if they saw a Flood Dragon rising to the sky and turning into a Heavenly Dragon, roaming the nine heavens.
