Shi Fengping had been defeated by a single sword strike, and this person, was the person that he had just shouted was someone who did not understand swords!
Although no one could understand Lin Hao's previous strike, they all knew about it. It seemed like a simple move, but it contained an extraordinary power, which was enough to prove that this strike was not as simple as they seemed.
It was obvious that this was a warrior with extremely high attainments in the way of the sword, who was far superior to Shi Fengping.
Everyone was guessing, it seemed like this guy wearing a mask was a well-hidden character, and was definitely not as simple as the Elemental Core Stage cultivation that he displayed. It was very possible that he was also one of the most famous experts in the older generation within the Baohua City.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
One figure after another rushed over at high speed. This was the enforcement team from within the Free Exchange Market who were responsible for maintaining order within the market. After they arrived, they immediately understood the situation.
This matter was because Shi Fengping had disregarded the rules of the trade market and rashly acted. However, on account of his Hidden Sword Villa, he did not punish her severely, but was still announced by one of the leaders of the enforcement team. From today onwards, would take another step into the Free Exchange Market!
As for Lin Hao, he was not affected by this at all.
After that, there were people who had already noticed Lin Hao. As a result, Lin Hao circled around the bazaar, got rid of the people following him, and found an opportunity to take off his mask and change into a new set of clothes to leave the bazaar.
Returning to the Pill and Treasure Pavilion, Lin Hao went into the training room and took out the Level Six Treasure Sword he just obtained.
His Heavenly Marks Sword was now at the fifth stage, while his sword was at the sixth stage.
However, Lin Hao did not want to abandon the Heavenly Marks Sword to use the sword.
No matter if it was the material or the spiritual nature of the Heavenly Marks Sword, there was an unlimited possibility. Furthermore, it contained the feelings of Lin Hao in his previous life, so he would not change swords.
The extra sword now was made from a pretty good material. If he refined it and also found some other materials, it would be easy for the Heavenly Marks Sword to level up. However, Lin Hao obviously would not do that.
Both of Lin Hao's hands formed a seal, and a strand of Sword Element began to circulate between his palms, condensing into a short sword's imprint. Lin Hao placed the imprint into the sword in front of him, and instantly, the sword started to tremble in joy.
After Lin Hao entered the sword, one by one, the Sword Element marks appeared on the sword. The sword's edge was completely ignited by Lin Hao, and in the training room, Lin Hao was completely filled with the sword's flickering light.
"Withdraw!"
Lin Hao shouted, and all the sword beams, like a tide, returned back into the sword blade. Then, Lin Hao pointed at his own forehead, and a drop of Blood Essence s, seeped out from between his eyebrows.
This drop of Blood Essence contained Lin Hao's Soul and floated towards the sword and fused with it.
After completing this step, Lin Hao immediately felt a strong connection with the sword.
"You, stay in the storage ring for a while. After I collect a few more swords, I'll let you out and release your edge!" Lin Hao said softly.
The sharp sword hummed as it responded to Lin Hao.
This move was a powerful technique Lin Hao had used when he was preparing to step into the Elemental King Stage, a set of Destiny Sword Formation s recorded within.
Destiny Sword Formation, required at least to reach Elemental King Stage and then gather nine swords before it could be used.
The more swords collected, the higher the quality of the swords, and the stronger the Destiny Sword Formation would be!
In the marketplace, Lin Hao had this plan when he saw the sword.
After putting the sword back into his storage ring, Lin Hao walked out from the Pill Room Cultivation Grounds. It was already close to evening, and Yue Shan and the others had already returned.
Yue Shan gathered all the people from the Giant Palace City together and then explained to everyone the pill competition that was going to begin tomorrow morning.
The competition was split into two parts, the first part would be led by Yue Shan himself, with Fan Wen and Liang Xun participating. The other part would be led by Lin Hao and her.
Yue Shan emphasized on the part where both Lin Hao and Liu Yun were responsible.
According to the method of the competition which had been determined by the Pill and Treasure Pavilion, the results of the two participants would be calculated based on their points. The final result of the competition would be calculated based on their total points.
The competition that they were participating in had a total of three parts, which were the identification of the medicinal properties, the deduction of the pill formula, and the refinement of the Pills. These three parts of the competition, according to the time it took to complete them, had points corresponding to each other.
Finally, and Liu Yun obtained 40% of the results, while Yue Shan's score of 60% was calculated to determine the final score of the Pill and Treasure Pavilion s.
The rules weren't really that complicated, and after Lin Hao and the others heard it once, they understood.
After that, Yue Shan instructed everyone to rest well tonight, and to recuperate, not saying anything more.
— —
The next morning.
Everyone gathered, and under Yue Shan's lead, they headed towards the competition grounds.
The competition grounds was an open plaza located in the center of the Pill and Treasure Pavilion. Not long after they arrived, the twelve members of the Eastern Source Realm who were participating in the competition with Pill and Treasure Pavilion at the same level had already arrived.
The other pavilion masters of the Pill and Treasure Pavilion were all greeting each other, but very few people came over to greet them on the Giant Palace City side.
After all, his Giant Palace City had been at the bottom in the competition for many years already. If he were to be at the bottom again, then his Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City's level would soon fall and he would no longer have the chance to participate in the competition again.
After a while, two familiar figures brought the three of them and walked towards the Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City. It was the two of them who had caused a ruckus at the Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City back then.
"Pavilion Master Yue Shan, how have you been after leaving Giant Palace City?" He Zhan brought Qin Chuan in front of Yue Shan, and said with a smile.
Yue Shan smiled and said: "I never thought that Pill Master He would actually think of another way to participate in this competition."
He Zhan sneered, and said: "That's right, there is something you might not know, but our Main Pavilion has already promised me, and this time I will lead a group of people to participate in the competition. As long as my people can obtain the top three places in the competition, then your Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City will belong to me!"
Yue Shan indeed did not know about this news.
As such, after hearing those words, the change in his expression was obvious.
"Pavilion Master Yue Shan, you should thank me. I am only thinking of Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City; if not for me, my Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City would have definitely fallen in rank this time."
If you are willing to give up on this competition and join my team, then when I become the pavilion master of Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City, I can give you a place as a Vice Pavilion Master.
