To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Master And Jian II
“It was a natural thing for the four sects to have the same teachings about alchemists, but we cannot compare them to each other. In terms of control and everything, the Thousand Pill Sect was the foremost one. They are offsetting the representatives of the main clan” said another. He seemed to be slightly siding with the Thousand Pill sect.
As for the latter, he did not say anything but his attention was fixed on Zhen Yuan and a few alchemists who were not representatives of the power of the central region.
“It looks like some power in the middle and low region has the ability that is not inferior to the central region! Master Dan Jian, what do you think of them?” said the elder while pointing at Zhen Yuan and the others.
Master Dan Jian glanced, though his face was still calm but in his heart he was a little surprised. “Where is the child's sect? Looks like he is only 18 years old” asked Dan Jian to the elder.
The elder paid little attention to the robe worn by Zhen Yuan, as he did not manage to identify the sect robe, so he summoned one of the organizers and checked Zhen Yuan's identity based on his invitation letter.
“Zhen Yuan, from the Elixir Medicine sect, the youngest participant in the pill” tournament, the elder told Dan Jian.
Hearing Zhen Yuan's name, Dan Jian further narrowed his eyes and watched Zhen Yuan more closely. The young man could even feel if Dan Jian stared at him intensely. But that did not make his focus in purifying the medicine agitated. It was natural for Dan Jian to react.
“Focus this kid is very high! He clearly realized that I was paying attention to him but instead of being distracted he instead felt it was the usual thing” Master And Jian in his heart was shocked.
“Not the sect of Efficacious Medicine comes from a low region?” Because of Master Dan Jian's conversation, the other two elders listened. One of those who supported the Thousand Pill sect knew of the Energetic Medicine sect.
The other two elders who were still trying to remember where they had listened to the name of the Elixir Sect were shocked, they finally remembered. After all, there were not many sects that put forward the medicinal and Pill sciences on the Origin Plains so they remembered them.
Master Dan Jian shook his head, “Life is not always a benchmark for whether they are worthy or not, but rather strength and skill. If your words are like that then the younger generation of the 10 major clans is also included and it means that you said that the 10 major clans have greatly decreased”
The elder was speechless a thousand languages hearing the words of Master Dan Jian. He realized his mistake was underestimating Zhen Yuan. Master Dan Jian no longer reprimanded him instead asking the detailed identity regarding Zhen Yuan to the first elder.
“Zhen Yuan came from the Neteer kingdom, one of the strongest kingdoms in the low region. His family managed a province while there and was known as the Zhen family by the locals. There was nothing strange about the Zhen family in Neteer kingdom, just because Zhen Yuan had become the second Master of the Elixir Medicine sect made the Zhen family's influence grow even bigger in the low region because of it.”
Master Dan Jian glanced back at Zhen Yuan for a bit then smiled faintly as if thinking of something. No one knew that before the tournament began, master Dan Jian had obtained a letter from the leader of the 12 great guards, the, in the letter he was ordered to pay some attention to a child who came from the Neteer kingdom.
Two short hours finally passed, the organizers who were in each corner began to check the success of the participants. As Zhen Yuan had guessed, that in this first competition, many were eliminated.
The organizers announced to the three elders that only about three thousand pill masters had successfully completed the first competition, whereas the others had already fallen. Among those who had fallen, at least 90% of them were 8th grade masters whose chances of escaping were indeed very small. But it was surprising that around a dozen 8th class masters managed to complete the first round defeating hundreds of failed 7th class masters.
“Alright, we will resume the second competition after 3 hours break.” Master Dan Jian said who then turned around to leave the location with the 3 elders behind him.
Zhen Yuan immediately regrouped with Shu Lian and the others when the competition was over. The young man was very happy when he found out that Shu Lian and Bald Kun had successfully completed the first competition. Likewise with the Spring kingdom who managed to pass 2 of their representatives.
