Chapter 72: Pill Contest

Somewhere in Xiangliu Continent, tens of thousands of people were quickly gathering in the middle of a particular city with no signs of slowing down.

What the hell, why is there so many people for this years Pill Contest? I come here every year, and the most I've seen were in the hundreds. Someone asked the crowd.

Hah? Where have you been the past week when the rumors spread?

Rumor? I just came back from a trip

Oh, no wonder. Here, let me give you some light. Since you come here every year, you should already know that only residents from our Xiangliu Continent would come to this Pill Contest every year, right?nove(l)bi(n.)com

Yes, I know that.

Well, this years Pill Contest is a little bit special. Not only will our Xiangliu Continent participate, but even genius Pill Masters from the other Continents will also be participating in this years Pill Contest!

What?! Why would they do that? And even if that was true, there still shouldnt be these many people!

Youre right, but you didnt let me finish. Catch this; I heard that the judges for this year would be Pill Grandmasters! So if they do well, they might get recruited as a Disciple!

Pill Grandmasters?! Really?

Pill Grandmasters are considered the apex of Pill Making in the Mortals Realm, so who did not want such an existence as their Master?

Its true, the newly appointed Pill Grandmaster from the Xuan Family will be one of the judges. Someone else butted into their conversation.

A new one? So we have 4 Pill Grandmasters right now?

Yes.

Hey, who is the Xuan Family again? Someone else

joined.

Really?! How ignorant can you be to not know about the Family with three Spirit Kings?! They are currently the second strongest Family in the Phoenixs Continent! Now that they also have a Pill Grandmaster, their status will surely skyrocket!

What?! Three Spirit Kings, and a Pill Grandmaster?! How come I have never heard of such a powerhouse?

They usually like to be low key, which is why their name has yet to spread fire in our Xiangliu Continent. However, things might be different after this Pill Contest.

With a Pill Grandmaster coming, geniuses will sure come flocking to become his Disciple.

Aiya, because they do not want to look inferior with all the geniuses coming, the decently good Pill Masters will not be participating in this Pill Contest, making it a genius Pill Making showcase. Someone sighs.

So you mean the number of participants this year will very little?

Thats exactly what I mean

Well, at least it will be a good show

Yeah

*****

In the middle of Black Turtle City, the largest city in Xiangliu Continent, there is a stage currently surrounded by thousands of people, each filled with curiosity and excitement for this years Pill Contest.

Goddamn, there is too many people here!

Just for a freaking Pill Contest? Are they that bored?

Its not easy to see a Pill Grandmaster

A middle-aged man walked suddenly walked onto the stage, attracting the spectator's attention.

Greetings citizens and foreigners, I am sure that most of you are already aware of todays event, so I will skip the boring parts and jump right into the rules, but before that, let me introduce the esteemed Xuan Family.

Looking at three figures sitting in the corner of the stage, he said, First and foremost is todays Pill Contest judge, and one of the four existing Pill Grandmaster, please give Pill Grandmaster Cheung your biggest congratulations and welcome!

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

Thunderous claps roared, and people were screaming, Congratulations, Pill Grandmaster Cheung!

Xuan Cheung stood up from his seat gave a polite bow to the crowd, increasing their hype.

The noises did not stop even after a good minute, so the middle-aged man raised his hand and coughed, silencing everybody.

Once the crowd became quiet, he resumed speaking, Next we have Senior Yuming. She is a Spirit King and Pill Grandmaster Cheungs beautiful wife! Give her a round!

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

May Seniors beauty last for an eternity!

Xuan Yuming also stood up from her chair and bowed, creating another wave of thunderous roars.

Last but not least, we have the only daughter of the Xuan Family, Senior Wanshan! Not only is she the most beautiful woman within her generation, but she is also the strongest being a Spirit King at her young age---

Before the middle-aged man could even finish his introduction, the entire place roared with screaming and clapping.

*Clap* *Clap* *Whistle* *Clap*

Many young men were even whistling!

Whos that? I don't recognize her. Someone asked.

It is normal for these outside of Xiangliu Continent to not know her. Shes Well, shes nameless. A citizen of Xiangliu Continent said with a sigh.

Nameless? What the hell kind of name is that?

No, her name is not nameless, but she is nameless.

Like I said, who the hell names their child nameless?

Are you retarded or are you screwing with me? Her name is not nameless because she has no name! The citizen almost punched this idiot in the face.

Oooooh! So why does she have no name? The idiot said as if nothing was wrong.

Well, it is a complicated story, but long story short, she once had a name, but after her mother who was a concubine died, the mistress ordered to have her name discarded, leaving her nameless.

Her mother was a concubine? What family is she from?

Our Xiangliu Continents 2nd most influential family, the Gou Family.

Dog Family? What kind of stupid name is that?

You--- Are you courting death? If they heard you--- No, I dont know you, and we have never talked! Goodbye! The citizen instantly turned his head away and pretended that idiot did not exist. He has never seen someone as mentally disabled as this man next to him! If he interacts with him any longer, his life would be at stake!

This idiot will not live a long age! He thought.

??? The idiot was confused and felt wronged.

Hmph, people are so rude these days, better ignore them before I catch their rudeness. He thought before facing to the opposite side and asked, Hey Brother, why is she wearing a blindfold?

Huh? She is obviously blind. The man next to him said.

Oooh But where is her walking stick? How will she be able to walk around without it?

The dude made a weird face after hearing that question, Obviously with her Divine Sense...? He said.

Ooooh! She must be what people call a genius! The idiot said.

No, shes only decent with her Cultivation The man corrected him.

Oh Then she must be a Pill Making genius!

No She is below average in that

Then why the hell is she in this genius showcase? Is she trying to make a fool out of herself?

... Whatever her reason is for participating, its not my problem, and shut up, you ask too many questions.

.... The idiot sighs before continuing to watch the arena.

*****

Gou Family, I I have no name, 17 Years Old. The blindfolded girl said with a low voice.

She tried to sit back down right after introducing herself but shouts called out one after another, stopping her from her tracks.

What Gou Family?! Our Gou Family does not have a worthless trash like you! Someone in the audience screamed.

Pei, your dirty mouth does not have the right to have the honored words Gou Family to come out from there!

What the hell are you doing in this genius showcase, you talentless, worthless piece of shit! You should be in the bathroom scrubbing the toilets right now! Are you trying to degrade the Gou Familys name more than it already is just by having you?!

... The blindfolded girl bit her lips so hard it began to bleed but did not dare to refute, taking in all the insults from audiences.

Hahaha, shes angry, shes angry!

...

...

Master, were Mortals always this disgusting? Somewhere in the crowd, a young girl asked the young man sitting next to her with a frown.

... The young man did not reply. Instead, he sat there with his eyes closed.

What is going on? These who came from the other Continents were confused at the current situation. They did not know who this blind girl was, but they did not pity her. Everybody understood that they were living in a cruel World where the strong ruled the weak, so this blind girl could only blame herself for being weak.

Leave right now! Go back to doing what you are good at, cleaning toilet!

You dare to stand on the same stage as these chosen by Heaven?! Get lost!

Hahahaha---

SHUT THE HELL UP!

*RUMBLE*

The entire Xiangliu Continent trembled as these sharp words echoed throughout the Continent. Nobody could pinpoint where the shout came from as if God himself had spoken to them directly, shaking their Soul along the way.

..... The entire place instantly turned dead silent!
