To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Evidences
Half an hour later, the Zhen Yuan cauldron trembled violently signaling he had almost succeeded in producing the Soul Essence Pill. The masters of even the patriarch Yiqian would give Zhen Yuan a chance to focus, no one spoke until the pill cauldron stopped shaking.
Zhen Yuan smiled faintly, while wiping away the sweat that was blotting his forehead. He picked up something in the cauldron and took the empty pill bottle available on the table. With a swift movement, Zhen Yuan stored a grain of Soul Essence Pill inside the pill bottle and placed it on the table.
“This is it!” Zhen Yuan smiled in satisfaction, while the masters including Dan Jian stepped forward wanting to take a closer look at the pill produced by Zhen Yuan.
The pill is smaller than a marble with a milky white color, which is circled by 2 colored rings. At a glance they all knew that it was a grade-7 pill of medium quality. But they could not identify whether it was really a Soul Essence Pill.
Master Dan Jian took the pill bottle and looked at it very closely. It took 10 breaths for him to put the pill back on the table and glanced at Zhen Yuan.
“How can you be sure if the pill you purified was a Soul Essence Pill?” Master Dan Jian sounded a little polite this time.
“The Central Palace definitely has an ancient record regarding this Soul Essence Pill right?” replied Zhen Yuan.
“We do have it and the features are the same. But we are still unsure of your abilities” denied master Dan Jian.
Zhen Yuan raised his eyebrows, he learned of the plot made by Dan Jian. “I don't mind giving this pill to Central Palace to test its efficacy. After all the materials to make it come from there as well if it were true were a Soul Essence Pill, I would be a high-level alchemist master in the central palace who would make a little early contribution”
“Good!” And Jian nodded in satisfaction. He took the pill and gave it to the elder who whispered behind him.
“Drink this! If it is true that it is a Soul Essence Pill then you will become a Mortal cultivator easily” And Jian gave the pill to the three of them.
The three elders looked at each other, although they were tempted by the benefits but they were not sure if the pill was a Soul Essence. If it was true then they would be very lucky but if it was wrong then the worst conditions would be on them.
“Master And Jian, if this pill is wrong and I accept its worst condition, please take care of some of my family.” the elder who drank it was none other than the one who paid attention to the Xiao family from the beginning.
He bet on drinking the pill when he saw Xiao Ning's extremely calm and confident manner when he saw the pill that was purified by Zhen Yuan.
The elder then sat down and began to digest the energy that melted in his body. For fifteen minutes there was no change in the elder but when it touched 30 minutes, a huge amount of energy came out from the elder's body.
Master Dan Jian and Xiao Boyun were stunned to find the elder's energy change. Although it had yet to reach the Mortal realm, but both of them could confirm that the elder would soon break through to become a Mortal cultivator in the near future.
After that the face of the elder became bright, he opened his eyes with a wide smile. “Hahaha.... It's great! I can feel the threshold of a breakthrough from now on. This Pill is indeed a Soul Essence, master Zhen Yuan managed to purify it”
The masters were astonished to hear it, whereas the other two elders stared in envy at the feeling of having thrown away a golden opportunity.
“Master, the pill purified by master Zhen Yuan is correct! He managed to purify him” The elder was so happy that he forgot if he had said the same sentence before.
Zhen Yuan smiled faintly, he sat elegantly in his chair waiting for the reaction of master Dan Jian. He was certain that master Dan Jian would not break his promise.
Sure enough, master Dan Jian smiled broadly at Zhen Yuan. “Master Zhen, you amaze me with your abilities! As I promised before, you have the right not to enter the next competition until the final round.” said Master Dan Jian while throwing the badge of the Central palace elders.
Zhen Yuan picked it up happily, then stored the badge into a storage bag. He had officially become part of the central palace, according to his plan. Besides, it seemed like master Dan Jian was very interested in him.
“Alright, I think the third competition will start soon. I will step aside first to give the masters a chance to compete” Zhen Yuan said as he left the venue.
