Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 552: Mother-in-Law Examining Her Son-in-Law
Don't be fooled by the scarcity of Pill Emperors in the Seven Great Immortal Domains and the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. There were many Pill Kings, especially Rank 4 and Rank 5 Pill Kings, which existed in large numbers in every Immortal Domain. This time, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had intervened in the Pill Dao Grand Competition of the Yongying Immortal Domain, and the level of the participating Pill Kings had risen sharply. Rank 6 Pill Kings accounted for a large number as well.
Another incense stick of time passed, and Hu Zhenyu once again stood on the main altar and said loudly, "The first round of the competition is over. Please place the jade bottles containing the essence of the medicinal liquid in your hands on the void transfer array patterns in front of you. The transfer array patterns will directly send the essence of the medicinal liquid you have extracted into the identification array. Afterwards, the rankings will soon appear on the ranking array display screen. If you use old medicinal liquid essence, you will not receive any points, and the identification array will directly eliminate you.
The display of the array display screen starts from the last name in the lower right corner. After the rankings start to appear, please leave the competition area if your ranking is below three hundred, or if there is no ranking, only your name appears."
After Hu Zhenyu finished speaking, a void transfer array pattern appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sent the jade bottle in his hand into the array pattern, sighing inwardly. This method of identifying the level of each person's purified medicinal liquid essence through the array, and then giving a score, was indeed impossible to cheat, and even human factors were eliminated.
Mo Wuji was certain that this kind of array identification also had a certain level. Once the medicinal liquid of the Immortal Spiritual Grass exceeded a certain level, it would be difficult for ordinary arrays to identify it.
After all the Pill Refiners had transferred the jade bottles in their hands, a huge array display screen appeared in one corner of the main altar.
The ranking array display screen was displayed on four sides, so no matter which direction you were sitting in, you could clearly see the content on the array display screen.
At this moment, the immortal square of the Yongying Immortal Domain was silent. Everyone focused their attention on the huge array display screen, waiting for the rankings to appear on it.
After another half an incense stick of time, the ranking array display screen began to flash with light. The cultivators present were clear that the rankings were about to appear.
The cultivators in the competition area stared even more nervously at the array display screen, as it was related to whether they were qualified to enter the Immortal Essence Valley. The Pill Kings who came here to participate were basically here for the Immortal Essence Valley. Even if they couldn't enter themselves, as long as they obtained a ranking, they would be able to obtain a large number of high-level Immortal Spiritual Grasses from the Immortal Essence Valley.
After the light flashed several times, the array display screen lit up completely, and a name appeared in the lower right corner. There was no ranking in front of this name, which was obviously that they did not get any results. Moreover, behind the name, there were two red words, "Eliminated."
After this name appeared, a participating Pill Refiner in the competition area walked down the competition area in disappointment.
There were only two reasons for not getting a ranking: one was that the purification failed, and the other was that they cheated, not purifying on the spot, but replacing the competition with purified medicinal liquid. This was cheating.
It wasn't just one participating Pill Refiner who didn't have a ranking. The names of the Pill Refiners who were eliminated without a ranking jumped more than two hundred times, and it wasn't until more than two hundred names appeared that the first ranking appeared.
"3417th place: Participating Immortal City, Lower Immortal City, Hailan Immortal City. Participating Pill Refiner, Yu Jinsong. Score, thirty-two point one zero two, eliminated."
As soon as this ranking came out, Mo Wuji heard a Pill Refiner beside him sigh, and then saw him walk down.
Mo Wuji knew that this score was definitely not a normal score, it must have been caused by a failure during purification. Thirty-two point one zero two points meant he got 32.102 points. Calculated as a percentage, the purity was 32.102%.
He paid a little attention to his surroundings after the purification. Although he didn't observe Yu Jinsong's purification, he knew that this should be a Rank 4 Pill King.
Even the worst Rank 4 Pill King, no matter how difficult the purification of the Bi Liu Immortal Grass was, shouldn't only be able to obtain 32.102 points. This Yu Jinsong must have lost his composure, leading to the failure of the purification.
"3416th place: Participating Immortal City, Middle Immortal City, Longwu Immortal City. Participating Pill Refiner, Ling Ou. Score, thirty-six point nine one five, eliminated."
When this name came out, Mo Wuji heard a low murmur around him. Even with the scattered discussions, Mo Wuji could tell that Ling Ou was actually a Rank 6 Pill King from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A Rank 6 Pill King only obtained 36.915 after purifying the Bi Liu Immortal Grass. It seemed that this Ling Ou, like Yu Jinsong, had failed in purification.
Following that, Mo Wuji saw a middle-aged Pill Refiner with a disappointed face walk down. Mo Wuji guessed that this person should be Ling Ou.
Seeing this Pill Refiner's distraught appearance, Mo Wuji knew that this Pill Competition would cause immeasurable damage to his future Pill Dao. He was afraid that he would only be able to stop at the Rank 6 Pill King for the rest of his life. If he was lucky, he could barely refine Rank 6 Immortal Pills. If he was unlucky, he might even be demoted to a Rank 5 Pill King. As for Pill Emperor, he shouldn't even think about it in this lifetime. Unless he could open his heart and remove the shadow of this time.
After that, the scores gradually increased, and Mo Wuji was clear that as long as they didn't exceed 60 points, they were basically Pill Refiners who had failed to purify the essence.
Tan Liang, not far from Mo Wuji, was also nervously staring at the huge ranking array display screen. He knew that it would be difficult for him to enter the top 1,000 with his results, but he still had some illusions. Because he didn't have any failures during the purification process. Moreover, this purification was beyond his normal level. Even in normal times, he might not be able to purify the Rank 4 Immortal Spiritual Grass, the Bi Liu Immortal Grass, to the level he purified it to today.
When he saw his name appear, his heart completely cooled down.
The array display screen clearly wrote, "2315th place: Lower Immortal City, Yingshui Immortal City, Participating Pill Refiner, Tan Liang, Score, seventy-five point two zero nine, eliminated."
Being able to purify the Bi Liu Immortal Grass to more than 75% under these earth fire conditions was indeed beyond his normal level. It was a pity that in this high-level Pill Dao Grand Competition, his results were not enough.
…
"Alas, Brother Tan has failed." Seeing Tan Liang walking down in disappointment, Wen Hou's disappointment and helplessness were even greater than Tan Liang's. There was a hint of gray in the corner of his eyes. Although he had guessed the result, when the result really came out, he realized that he still couldn't accept it.
At this moment, what else could he do besides fleeing to the ends of the earth with his family?
But he knew that he couldn't escape at all. As soon as he left Yongying Immortal City, he would probably be arrested and sent to the dungeon of the Yongying Immortal Domain.
"I'm sorry, Wen Hou, I failed." Tan Liang walked to Wen Hou's family and sat down, his tone full of disappointment and sadness.
Yan Qianling suddenly said, "Husband, we can't leave at all. I vaguely feel that there is divine sense paying attention to us. Once we leave, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."
Wen Hou nodded blankly, without saying anything.
Wen Lianxi suddenly said, "Father, Mother, Uncle Tan, we still have one person up there who hasn't come down. Maybe Brother Mo can really rush into the top five hundred."
It wasn't until Wen Lianxi said these words that everyone remembered that Yingshui Immortal City hadn't completely despaired yet. At least there was still a Pill Refiner on the stage.
Tan Liang also regained some vitality and asked anxiously, "Lianxi, is that Pill Refiner Mo really still there? Where is he? Quickly point him out to me."
Wen Lianxi whispered Mo Wuji's position, and Tan Liang indeed saw that Mo Wuji was still standing on the stage, and the array display screen reporting the results had not shown Mo Wuji's name.
The names displayed on this array display screen were from the back to the front. The later the name was displayed, the better the result. Mo Wuji's name had not been reported until now, which meant that Mo Wuji had not been eliminated at least until now.
"It seems that he really advanced to the level of Pill King. Could it be that the 70% certainty he said was true?" Tan Liang muttered to himself while staring at Mo Wuji.
Yan Qianling even whispered in Wen Lianxi's ear, "Lianxi, does that Mo Wuji really not have any special thoughts about you? For example, when he is with you, does he always want to subconsciously get closer to you, and does he sometimes want to find some common topics to start new conversations? By the way, has he ever invited you to do anything?"
"Mother, can you please stop talking about these things? Brother Mo really doesn't have any interest in me. He just wants to thank me for helping him once, that's all." Wen Lianxi didn't even know what to say.
"Alas, Lianxi, you can't always wait for others to take the initiative. Sometimes when you see someone you like, you can also take the initiative…"
Wen Lianxi's skin was already a bit thick, but her skin was still super thin.
Seeing that her daughter seemed a bit embarrassed, Yan Qianling finally ended the topic and just focused her attention on Mo Wuji. It really corresponded to that saying: "The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she looks, the more she likes him." Even if Mo Wuji was not Yan Qianling's son-in-law yet, Yan Qianling already liked him more and more.
"Father, that Rank 5 Pill King named Geng Ji, I don't know where he got the competition slot from, but he has also failed and come down now. He was only ranked in the 1,700s. Fortunately, Father didn't invite them to participate." After a while, Wen Lianxi recovered and immediately noticed that Geng Ji had failed and been eliminated from the competition area.
Wen Hou nodded, "I saw it. You're right, we were indeed fortunate not to have invited them to participate."
Being ranked in the 1,000s or 2,000s made no difference to Yingshui Immortal City at all.
…
There were fewer and fewer people on the competition stage. Although he knew that his results wouldn't be too bad, Mo Wuji was still getting more and more nervous. This Pill Dao Grand Competition was too important to him.
