Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 557 Shortcomings of the Dao of Pill Refinement
After the top fifty in the second round were all out, Hu Zhenyu also obtained Mo Wuji's background.
Mo Wuji, an ascended cultivator from the Yongying Immortal Domain, accompanied Murong Xiangyu to the Sharp Corner Immortal Ruins. At the Dandao Immortal Alliance branch in the Sharp Corner Immortal Ruins, Mo Wuji entered the Dandao Tower and participated in the Dandao Immortal Alliance's certified immortal alchemist assessment. Then, in just a few days, he advanced from an uncertified immortal alchemist to a fourth-grade Venerable-level Pill King.
As a result, he received the appreciation of Nong Yong, the Pill Emperor of the Dandao Immortal Alliance, who exceptionally recruited him as an honorary elder of the Dandao Immortal Alliance. At the same time, Mo Wuji was also a real-power elder of the Dandao Immortal Alliance's Sharp Corner Immortal Ruins branch.
Mo Xinghe was obviously Mo Wuji's alias.
Hu Zhenyu almost laughed out loud when he saw this result. He felt that he should give the Dandao Immortal Alliance branch in the Sharp Corner Immortal Ruins some rewards for pulling such an excellent immortal alchemist into the Dandao Immortal Alliance first.
Pill Emperor Nong Yong was indeed getting more and more cunning as he got older, and he could see that Mo Wuji had an extraordinary future. Indeed, it was strange if he was just an ordinary person at such a young age, being a fourth-grade Venerable-level Pill King. Perhaps Pill Emperor Nong Yong didn't know that Mo Wuji was already a fifth-grade Venerable-level Pill King in just a few years. It could be seen that Mo Wuji must still be a sixth-grade Pill King.
Hu Zhenyu, who had originally felt a bit awkward looking at Mo Wuji being so powerful at such a young age, now found the young man to be more and more handsome and extraordinary.
Since this Mo Wuji had a close relationship with the Ying Shui Immortal City, he would also give Kui Fengyun a slight reminder to not forget to give some benefits to the Ying Shui Immortal City.
It was true that mentality determined everything. If Mo Wuji was not a member of the Dandao Immortal Alliance and he had won first place, it would have been strange if Hu Zhenyu had felt happy.
Regardless of whether this Dandao Grand Competition in the Yongying Immortal Domain was formal or not, the Dandao Immortal Alliance had to occupy the first position, whether it was the total score or the points in each round.
Hu Zhenyu, in a great mood, walked to the front of the main platform. He swept his gaze from the competition stage to the square with a smile, and then said loudly, "Although the total score has not yet been released, I believe everyone is very clear about who has obtained the top fifty. Please, the alchemists below the top fifty in the total score leave the competition area, and the top fifty remain..."
Following Hu Zhenyu's words, the formation display screen showing the total score ranking began to display.
This time, it didn't start from the lower right corner, but from the first position at the top.
First place: Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City Jiu Guang Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Gongyang Xue. Total score, 195.050.
Second place: Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City Lu Xie Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Heng Jun. Total score, 191.576.
Third place: Participating Immortal City, Lower Immortal City Ying Shui Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Mo Xinghe. Total score, 189.361.
Fourth place: Participating Immortal City, Middle Immortal City Sheng Li Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Wu Yun Sheng. Total score, 189.331.
Fifth place: Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City Bai Ding Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Kuang Zhi Yao. Total score, 183.960.
...
The fifty rankings were quickly displayed. Except for a few Middle Immortal Cities, the vast majority were Upper Immortal Cities. And Ying Shui Immortal City was the only Lower Immortal City.
Mo Wuji was also very satisfied. He originally only wanted to enter the top fifty, but he didn't expect to end up in the top three. He even surpassed a Pill Emperor, even if it was only by a fraction of a point, it was still a surpass.
However, Mo Wuji was very clear in his own mind that his score didn't really represent that he could enter the top three among so many Dandao experts. Perhaps he could enter the top three in extracting the essence of medicinal liquid. When combining overall strength, he definitely couldn't enter the top three.
Because in this pill refinement, several Pill Emperors and some super-powerful sixth-grade alchemists didn't show their full strength. Just the flame alone could limit the performance of most alchemists. And he, on the other hand, went all out, without any reservations.
When the rankings were truly released, the noisy scene quieted down once again. During the Dandao competition, everyone was concerned about who could enter the top fifty. After the Dandao competition, everyone was concerned about the fifty-five places to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley.
In particular, the most gazes and attention were on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji's origins were unknown, and he was very likely a talented rogue alchemist.
How could it not arouse the covetousness of others that such a talented rogue alchemist held two places to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley?
Hu Zhenyu continued, "I would like to congratulate these fifty alchemists who have obtained the qualifications to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley. You can either give the places in your hands to others or choose to enter yourself. Before sending out the jade tokens for entering the Yunxian Immortal Valley, I still have one thing to do, that is, to publicly display the pills refined by these fifty alchemists, and at the same time open the restrictions. Anyone can use their divine sense to observe the pills refined by these fifty alchemists."
As he spoke, Hu Zhenyu waved his hand.
Fifty jade bottles appeared in a row in the void, with a row of words below each jade bottle, indicating the name of the alchemist who refined the pill.
Almost as soon as these fifty jade bottles were sent out, countless divine senses fell on the third jade bottle, which was the Disian Great Perfection Pill refined by Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji's divine sense fell on the sixth-grade immortal pills refined by several Pill Emperors. As soon as he saw these sixth-grade immortal pills, he knew that he simply couldn't refine them.
Although he could refine low-grade sixth-grade immortal pills, those pills simply didn't have any charm. And the sixth-grade immortal pills refined by these Pill Emperors were full of spiritual charm, and it was obvious at a glance that they were top-grade good stuff. In particular, the Nine Turns Astonishing Divine Pill refined by the first-place Pill Emperor Gongyang Xue, Mo Wuji felt a kind of soul resonance with just his divine sense falling on it. This kind of pill was obviously of great benefit to the primordial spirit and soul, truly worthy of being a Pill Emperor.
At the same time, Mo Wuji also clearly recognized his own shortcomings. Although his Disian Great Perfection Pills were all special-grade, they lacked a kind of Dao charm. A kind of indescribable Dao charm aura, which he had been somewhat vague about before and didn't quite understand. After seeing the pills refined by Gongyang Xue and several other Pill Emperors, Mo Wuji seemed to have a window opened.
Previously, Mo Wuji was still thinking about giving away a furnace of Disian Great Perfection Pills to the organizers for nothing, but now he didn't think so. This Dandao Grand Competition gave him more than just the Yunxian Immortal Valley. If he had the time to have a good chat with several Pill Emperors, it would definitely be even more beneficial to his Dandao.
At the same time, Mo Wuji also knew that if it wasn't for the formation's scoring, his furnace of Disian Great Perfection Pills, although special-grade, actually shouldn't have gotten a score of ninety.
After looking at the sixth-grade immortal pills refined by the Pill Emperors, Mo Wuji became dissatisfied with the pills he refined. But other cultivators were too satisfied with Mo Wuji's pills. Where could they usually get special-grade Disian Great Perfection Pills?
In a short time, the entire square became noisy. It wasn't because Mo Wuji's pills were barely passable, but because, in the eyes of many cultivators, each pill refined by Mo Wuji was full of spiritual charm and surrounded by the Daoist rhyme, obviously special-grade Disian Great Perfection Pills without any discount. It was conceivable that once these pills were sent to a merchant building, they would immediately cause a frenzy.
In contrast, the pills refined by several Pill Emperors, such as the Nine Turns Astonishing Divine Pill, the Ice Soul Heaven Dust Pill, the Dan Lan Void Purple Pill...
Although these pills were more precious than the Disian Great Perfection Pills and of higher grade, and at the same time more difficult to refine, these pills were not commonly used after all. They were relatively distant from everyone.
"Are these pills for sale?" someone shouted in the crowd.
Hu Zhenyu waved his hand and collected all these pills, then continued, "These pills will all belong to the Yongying Immortal Domain, but the alchemists are all here. Since they can refine such pills on the spot, give them sufficient time and better pill fire. I believe they will refine even more perfect pills. Those who want pills, go look for these alchemists who have won places later. Now, I want to award the jade tokens for entering the Yunxian Immortal Valley to the alchemists who have won places."
One by one, white jade tokens that everyone envied were sent out by Hu Zhenyu. Mo Wuji alone received two. The jade tokens were very cold to the touch, but Mo Wuji's heart was extremely hot.
After all fifty-five jade tokens were sent out, Hu Zhenyu continued, "This Dandao Grand Competition has also produced some top-level genius alchemists, such as Mo Xinghe, who won third place. Mo Xinghe is so young, yet he was able to win third place in the Dandao Grand Competition, where the strong are like clouds. He will definitely be a Pill Emperor in the future. I would like to especially congratulate alchemist Mo Xinghe here, congratulations to you."
"Please go to the Yunxian Immortal Valley three days later, those alchemists who have obtained the jade token to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley. This Dandao Grand Competition is now over. Next, please the Celestial Emperor of the Yongying Immortal Domain announce the Immortal Cities that have won rewards."
Hu Zhenyu stepped down amidst warm applause, while the Celestial Emperor of the Yongying Immortal Domain walked up with some confusion. He did not expect that Hu Zhenyu would also be interested in the trivial matters of his Yongying Immortal Domain.
This thought was only a fleeting one, and Kui Fengyun stopped thinking about it.
"Thank you to the many well-known alchemists from the Immortal Realm for coming to my Yongying Immortal Domain to participate in the Dandao Grand Competition. In this Dandao Grand Competition, I would like to specially mention two Immortal Cities. One is the Lower Immortal City, Ying Shui Immortal City, the other is the Middle Immortal City, Sheng Li Immortal City. To my surprise and delight, this Lower Immortal City and Middle Immortal City actually entered the top five."
"In order to commend these two Immortal Cities, I hereby announce that the Lower Ying Shui Immortal City will be directly promoted to an Upper Immortal City, with jurisdiction over fifteen cities respectively, and will be allowed to select affiliated Immortal Cities. The Middle Sheng Li Immortal City will also be promoted to an Upper Immortal City, with jurisdiction over fifteen cities, and will be allowed to select affiliated Immortal Cities. Please Wen Hou, the City Lord of Ying Shui Immortal City, and Zhu Li, the City Lord of Sheng Li Immortal City, come up to receive the badges of the Upper Immortal City Lords."
As Kui Fengyun's words fell, warm applause rang out. The excited Wen Hou stood up, accompanied by his daughter Wen Lianxi. At this moment, he only felt his blood boiling. He was worth it to have achieved this step.
Hu Zhenyu looked at the beautiful Wen Lianxi beside Wen Hou, then looked at Mo Wuji again, and nodded secretly. He seemed to understand why such an excellent Pill King like Mo Wuji would want to help Ying Shui Immortal City.
