Half-step Divine King!
Everyone present looked at Ye Lingyuan in shock.
"Half-step Divine King? That's not right! How can he be a half-step Divine King?" Shangguan Yulin questioned.
"He is the楼主 of Mingxuan Tower, so why can't he be a half-step Divine King?" Rong Guang retorted, confused.
Shangguan Yulin said, "It's precisely because he is Mingyuan that he shouldn't be a half-step Divine King!"
Rong Guang was bewildered and said, "Brother Shangguan, what exactly do you mean? What do you mean by 'shouldn't be a half-step Divine King'? If not a half-step Divine King, then what should he be?"
"Divine King!"
Shangguan Yulin uttered two words with great solemnity.
"Divine King? Why?" Rong Guang felt his mind couldn't keep up.
Shangguan Yulin said impatiently, "If you weren't a Divine King, could you fight Lingxiao Divine King to a standstill?"
Rong Guang was about to shake his head when he suddenly understood, "You mean he was hiding his strength?"
Shangguan Yulin gave him a speechless look and then turned his gaze back to Ye Lingyuan.
After a long while, he murmured, "If he was hiding his strength, then so be it, but..."
He stopped speaking at that point.
This made Rong Guang, who was beside him, anxious. He urged, "But what, just say it!"
A trace of apprehension flashed in Shangguan Yulin's eyes. "But if he wasn't hiding his strength, then his potential is too terrifying!"
Rong Guang was stunned for a moment, and his mind finally cleared up. He was so shocked his jaw almost dislocated.
He hadn't thought much about it before, but after Shangguan Yulin's reminder, he finally discovered Ye Lingyuan's terrifying aspect.
A half-step Divine King fighting a Divine King and managing to both be injured was not something that could be described with just the word "genius."
A monster!
A peerless monster!
Even more terrifying was that this monster was Zi Linling's fiancé!
Rong Guang suddenly imagined the scene of these two monsters combining and producing a litter of little monsters.
Wouldn't that make them a family of monsters?
Good heavens!
In this day and age, do monsters also come in litters?
Shangguan Yulin, of course, didn't know that the person beside him was already looking far ahead.
What he was thinking about now was how fortunate it was that the Shangguan family hadn't made a move outside the Tianzun Tomb, otherwise, after that incident, the Shangguan family would no longer exist in Xihe City.
Equally shocked were Su Lie and Xuanyuan Xun.
As a businessman, Su Lie's mind worked just as fast as Shangguan Yulin's.
Therefore, how could he not think of what Shangguan Yulin had thought of?
He secretly rejoiced that Huatian Business would had a good relationship with Zi Linling, otherwise, offending two monstrous figures at once would not be a trivial matter.
Xuanyuan Xun, amidst his shock, felt a bitter smile.
He had initially thought that Zi Linling, who came from the Tianyuan Continent, would have no backing when she first arrived in the Tianci Continent.
That was why he had resolutely stood behind Zi Linling, despite half of his family opposing it.
Of course, this was not only because Zi Linling was the chosen one, but also because a monster like Zi Linling was worthy of such an investment.
But now, he realized he was wrong!
The young lady not only had backing, but her backing was outrageously powerful!
In terms of apparent cultivation, she was on par with him, but in terms of actual combat power and potential, she was miles ahead of him.
Similarly, Nian Youyu and Feng Mo were so shocked their jaws were about to hit the ground.
Zi Yatou's fiancé was truly full of surprises for them!
More accurately, the surprise far outweighed the joy!
The楼主 of Mingxuan Tower!
A half-step Divine King expert!
These two identities alone were enough to nearly explode their hearts!
Shen Liuxing felt the Divine King aura emanating from Ye Lingyuan, and a smile curved his lips. He thought, "Half-step Divine King? Interesting! Ye Lingyuan, I'm really looking forward to a battle with you!"
"But Sister Zi wouldn't like it, what should I do?"
...
Feng Ruyi, caught off guard, was directly forced to his knees.
Coincidentally, the direction he knelt in was facing the spiritual energy screen.
And even more coincidentally, the spiritual energy screen was currently dominated by Zi Linling.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, he was kowtowing to Zi Linling.
Ye Lingyuan said coldly, "If you dare to insult Lin'er again, you will never have the chance to speak again!"
"Pfft!"
Feng Ruyi was so forcefully suppressed by Ye Lingyuan's half-step Divine King pressure that he vomited blood.
Seeing this, Ye Lingyuan no longer bothered with him. Instead, he looked up at Zi Linling on the spiritual energy screen, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
"Lin'er's realm is not something you can comprehend. Just watch carefully and see how Lin'er perfectly passes the test!"
Ye Lingyuan's confident voice echoed throughout the venue of the Pill Dao Competition, silencing the entire arena.
"Look quickly!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "What is she doing?"
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn by the shout, and they looked at the spiritual energy screen in unison.
On the spiritual energy screen, the Nine Extremes Qiankun Cauldron emitted a seductive red light, and Zi Linling finally stopped dripping blood.
"Nine Extremes, use my blood to wrap all the medicinal ingredients and condense them into a giant pill!"
A giant pill, as the name suggests, is a colossal medicinal pill.
Ordinary pills are about the size of a longan.
A giant pill, however, is at least the size of a fist.
Due to its size, a giant pill can contain more energy.
If this energy were absorbed by a single person, the probability of them exploding and dying would be as high as ninety percent.
Therefore, since ancient times, few people have attempted to refine giant pills.
Furthermore, as time went on, many pill recipes and legacies were lost, and the lost legacies included the methods for refining giant pills.
Of course, after Zi Linling gained recognition from the "Human Emperor's Medical Canon," the method for refining giant pills was also etched into her mind.
However, even though she knew the refining method, she had never actually refined one.
But now, with the remaining time, there was simply not enough time to refine enough antidote pills.
Therefore, she had to take a risk, melting all the medicinal ingredients into one furnace, using the blood of her myriad poisons body as a guide, to attempt refining a giant pill.
As long as the giant pill was successfully refined, she could divide its energy equally among the nine hundred and ninety-eight people.
This way, she could not only detoxify everyone and complete the mission but also avoid the danger of someone exploding from consuming a giant pill.
The refinement of a giant pill was far more complex than that of ordinary pills.
Therefore, even Zi Linling dared not be careless.
Not only were Nine Extremes and Huang Yi unable to be distracted, but Zi Linling herself had to be on high alert.
One person, one primal spirit, and one spirit dared not be the slightest bit careless. They maintained a delicate balance among themselves.
Once this balance was broken, the refinement of the giant pill would fail.
