597. The Dan meeting ended.
At this moment, Lei Jingxiao noticed Wei Jiangyuan's change and felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He stepped forward and mocked Wei Jiangyuan, "It's okay, Wei, losing to my older brother isn't a big deal. You'll get used to it after you experience more."
"Hehe." Wei Jiangyuan remained unmoved, a playful glint appearing in his eyes as he asked Lei Jingxiao, "How many times did you fail when you were refining medicine?"
Lei Jingxiao frowned slightly and replied, "Sixteen times? What's wrong? These failures won't affect my mentality. Your attempts at retaliation are completely useless!"
Wei Jiangyuan smiled and shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you that you were capable of refining it successfully. After all, the difficulty of refining a fourth-grade pill isn't that great. You have a Spirit Realm soul and Dou Zun strength, so it would be a problem if you couldn't refine it."
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingxiao also had a bad feeling and pressed for an answer: "Then why do you think it is?"
Wei Jiangyuan suddenly flashed his signature bright, toothy grin: "The reason you haven't been able to succeed is because the pill formula I gave you was flawed from the start. So no matter how hard you try, you'll only end up with a furnace explosion, hahaha~"
The air suddenly froze, and Lei Jingxiao's previously calm and composed attitude, which he insisted would not be affected by Wei Jiangyuan, vanished in an instant.
Lei Jingxiao's mind raced back to the scene of him exploding the cauldron. Although he had warned himself not to care about other people's opinions, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained when he thought about Wei Jiangyuan's actions.
"You surnamed Wei!" His neck veins bulged, and silver-blue lightning patterns spread from behind his ears to his cheeks. "I'm going to stuff you into a cauldron and refine you into a lightning pill!"
While Wei Jiangyuan might not be able to defeat Lei Jingxiao in terms of actual combat ability, he possesses genuine Heaven-rank movement techniques and fighting skills. If he simply wants to toy with Lei Jingxiao, it would be no problem at all.
Seeing the two of them, Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless. He had seen Lei Jingxiao's alchemy techniques before and had some understanding of them, but he had been too busy with alchemy to investigate them in detail.
Judging from Lei Jingxiao's failure, although Wei Jiangyuan deliberately wanted to tease him, he didn't actually teach him anything that might cause problems. At most, he would keep failing, gaining experience but still unable to refine pills.
If Lei Jingxiao can successfully discover the anomaly in the pill formula, his pill-making skills will also take a big step forward.
Ignoring Lei Jingxiao and Wei Jiangyuan's antics, this year's Pill Gathering has officially come to an end. Although there's still one day left, no one can do anything more on this final day.
Because of the current uproar, Xuan Kongzi and other high-ranking members of the Pill Tower made a decision: to announce the final results of this Pill Gathering ahead of schedule!
The Spirit Saint He of the Spirit Clan also left in anger after Cao Ying and Dan Chen took the medicine and announced their departure from the Spirit Clan.
Linghe's departure brought a sigh of relief to everyone in the Pill Tower. After all, she was bound to do something, and even if the Pill Tower managed to stop her, it would be a rather unsightly situation. The Pill Tower was also pleased to see Linghe willing to watch the match so obediently.
After all, if the Spirit Clan weren't so aggressive towards the Pill Tower, the Pill Tower would never have proactively provoked a family of Dou Di descendants with so many powerful figures. If Ling Zhuo only wanted to win the Pill Tournament championship, the Pill Tower wouldn't just not stop him; on the contrary, it would even give him some publicity.
After all, the reason why the Pill Gathering is so important and famous is because it has many important legendary stories. The arrival of a descendant of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) is a great attraction.
However, the method chosen by the Spirit Race was clearly ill-intentioned, and Danta went through a period of extreme tension.
After Ling He left, the three members of the Spirit Clan, including Ling Zhuo, seemed to have lost their souls. Ling Zhuo, in particular, was perhaps too shocked; he simply stood there blankly waiting. Seeing him no longer the proud prodigy he once was, the members of the Pill Tower felt a surge of satisfaction.
The Pill Tower has been under immense pressure lately, but everything has changed with the end of the Pill Gathering. The Spirit Clan still holds considerable sway, but how much of an impact can a family descended from a Dou Di who couldn't even win the Pill Gathering pose on the Pill Tower?
The future is predictable. With the changes in Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the Dan and Cao families will definitely return to the Pill Tower. After these two families return, the remaining three families will become less important.
The announcement of the Pill Gathering was originally intended to be made by the three giants together. However, after a brief discussion between Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Leizi, and Xuan Yi, Xuan Yi stated that her emotions were too intense at the moment, and she was not suitable to appear as the person in charge of the Pill Tower. Although Xuan Leizi appeared happy on the surface, he was inwardly extremely depressed and also refused to announce the Pill Gathering champion, leaving Xuan Kongzi to be solely responsible for the final result.
Although Xuan Kongzi noticed that something was wrong with Xuan Leizi's condition, he had no time to investigate further given the current outcome.
Xuan Kongzi departed from the high platform and stood in the void at the center of the plaza. His gaze swept over the hundreds of thousands of breathless faces below, and his powerful soul force, accompanied by a deep voice, resonated throughout the arena: "This year's Pill Gathering has come to an end!"
Before the words were finished, the clouds in the sky suddenly surged, and nine illusory bronze bells rose into the sky from the depths of the Pill Tower. The vast bell tolling seemed to reflect the legendary and dramatic Pill Gathering of this year.
It can only be said that good things happen and one is in high spirits. Xiao Yan defeated Ling Zhuo in a head-on battle and brought Cao Yin and Dan Chen back. At this moment, Xuan Kongzi no longer had the anxiety he had at the beginning of the Pill Gathering. He had now completely regained the demeanor of the person in charge of the Pill Tower.
"Time is running out, and many alchemists have finished their alchemy. This alchemy gathering is finally coming to an end."
"Let us congratulate Master Xiao Yan on winning the championship with his Rank 8 elixir, which possesses the power of a near-Six-Colored Thunder Pill!"
"The remaining top ten are Ling Zhuo, Ling Yu, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Yi Xu... Three days later, a special guide from my Pill Tower will lead the top ten masters to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames. You can obtain the corresponding Pill Gathering rewards at any time within the Pill Gathering."
"Other alchemists who enter the Pill Realm and obtain herbs can go to the Pill Tower to remove the restrictions if needed. The Pill Tower will only charge one-third of the original price..."
"On behalf of the Danta, I would like to once again thank you all for your strong support of this Danta Gathering. The next Danta Gathering will be held as scheduled in 29 years, and the Danta Gathering will continue our Danta connection with you as planned..."
