Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 202 - Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Barbecue is So Delicious

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Barbecue is So Delicious

Not long after Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, and others arrived, Jiu Wu and Lan Yi from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect also made their appearance.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, the murderous intent in Lan Yi’s eyes flared like a pillar of fire, almost scorching Yang Xiaotian himself.

The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect’s ancestor, Jiu Wu, also looked at Yang Xiaotian with a cold and piercing gaze.

His disciple had been blasted out of the Imperial Capital by Yang Xiaotian, and for the past few days, the most talked-about subject during tea and meals in the Imperial Capital had been the incident of his disciple being ousted from the city.

Consequently, he, as a master, had also become the subject of people’s discussions during their leisure time.

As Jiu Wu passed by Yang Xiaotian, he spoke with a voice that sent a chill right down to one’s bones, “It’s been a year, Friend Yang, and you’ve certainly surprised me.”

Indeed, the changes in Yang Xiaotian within this year had taken Jiu Wu and everyone from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect by surprise.

Ever since Yang Xiaotian killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, Yang Xiaolong had entered the sights of the senior echelons of various supreme sects of the empire.

“However, someone as arrogant and disrespectful as you won’t live long!” Jiu Wu added.

Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, “You needn’t worry about that.”

Jiu Wu snorted coldly and took Lan Yi to the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect’s seats.

Yang Xiaotian watched Jiu Wu’s figure with an unchanged expression.

These days, he had gotten to know the strength of the upper echelons in the top ten supreme sects.

Elders were generally at the Saint Realm from the first to the sixth level.

Supreme Elders were at the seventh to the ninth peak of the Saint Realm.

Ancestors’ strength was always at the tenth level of the Saint Realm.

Although Jiu Wu had already broken through to the tenth level of the Saint Realm long ago, he was currently only at the early peak of the tenth level, far from being on par with the likes of the earlier Zhu Jing.

Following Jiu Wu and Zhu Xuan, Gu Shaozong and Li Qianqian also arrived one after another.

The two arrived side by side.

Gu Shaozong’s arrival caused a massive stir in the square, with various strong figures and disciples greeting him, bowing, and paying their respects. Even Jiu Wu’s arrival had not made such an impact.

Although Jiu Wu was at the tenth level of the Saint Realm, the Divine Dragon Empire did not lack strong figures at that level.

However, Gu Shaozong possessed the seventh-ranked Abnormal Fire, the Heaven Burning Flame, and had received the legacy of the Medicine God, Su Dan.

Some said that Gu Shaozong was likely to become the second Medicine God of the Divine Dragon Empire!

Gu Shaozong nodded to the crowd and, passing by Yang Xiaotian, smiled and said, “Yang Xiaotian, you said yesterday that you could produce a Profound Level Spirit Pill. I look forward to seeing you actually make one today.”

The moment Gu Shaozong spoke, it immediately caused a commotion among the surrounding crowd.

“What, Yang Xiaotian, a Martial King, claimed he could produce a Profound Level Spirit Pill?”

Even Long Xingtian and Lan Yi, who were far away, were taken aback upon hearing this.

Jiu Wu also shook his head with a smile, “Ignorant fool!”

When Li Qianqian passed by Yang Xiaotian, she naturally did not show a pleasant face.

She felt a strong aversion and disgust toward those who disrespected laws and engaged in unfounded bragging.

As time passed, more and more powerful figures from various factions arrived in the square.

The ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Liang Yafei, came with a group of experts from the sect as well.

“Is that Zhu Miaomiao?” Yang Xiaotian’s gaze fell upon Zhu Miaomiao, who was behind Liang Yafei.

Luo Qing had found out that Zhu Miaomiao and his sister, Yang Ling’er, did not get along well and had often made things difficult for his sister.

“Yes, she is Zhu Xuan’s cousin, Zhu Miaomiao,” Luo Qing said.

Zhu Miaomiao seemed to sense something and looked towards Yang Xiaotian. In her eyes, there was a barely detectable chill when she saw Yang Xiaotian.

After the various supreme sects of the Empire had all arrived, the top figures of the Empire Pharmacist Hall like Shi Yongping, Wang Zhou, Chen Nian, and others finally made their appearance.

Accompanying Shi Yongping, Wang Zhou, and the others were members of the Empire’s Royal Family.

Yang Xiaotian saw Long Lan, whom he had encountered in the Red Moon Forest previously.

He also saw the little girl Qingxuan.

Qingxuan was idly following behind Long Lan when she suddenly spotted Yang Xiaotian in the crowd, her pretty face lighting up with surprise as she waved excitedly and called out, “Brother Xiaotian!”

Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled in response.

Qingxuan’s call, however, took Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, Lan Yi, and others by surprise.

“Your Highness knows Yang Xiaotian?” Long Xingtian’s face darkened.

Zhu Xuan was also puzzled, for this was the first time he had heard of it.

Shi Yongping ascended to the main stage, sat down with everyone, and with a smile, asked the crowd, “Is that boy Yang Xiaotian?”

“He is Brother Xiaotian,” the girl Qingxuan said with a smile.

Shi Yongping smiled and asked, “Your Highness knows Yang Xiaotian?”

Qingxuan nodded seriously and said with a smile, “The grilled meat Brother Xiaotian cooks is so delicious.”

Grilled meat is delicious?

The crowd was astounded.

At this moment, Wang Zhou’s disciple Wu You whispered something to Wang Zhou.

After listening, Wang Zhou smiled at the crowd and said, “My disciple just told me that Yang Xiaotian boasted to Gu Shaozong that he could refine a Profound Level elixir today.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yongping’s brow furrowed.

Qingxuan, however, said, “Brother Xiaotian is very amazing. He went into the Red Moon Forest alone to subdue a mount beast; he knows Beast Language and the Blood Sacrifice Technique; he even tamed a small green python. If he says he can refine a Profound Level elixir, then he definitely can.”

Long Lan didn’t take the small green python mentioned by Qingxuan seriously and shook his head with a smile, “Xiaotian’s talent in alchemy is indeed high, but he is only at the Martial King Realm now, how could he possibly refine a Profound Level elixir.”

The absurd idea of someone at the Martial King Realm being able to refine a Profound Level elixir was something he had never heard of before.

Shi Yongping also shook his head.

Even the Medicine God Su Dan couldn’t have refined a Profound Level elixir at the Martial King Realm back in the day.

Refining a Profound Level elixir in the Martial King Realm was a feat that only existed in myths.

Wang Zhou asked his disciple Wu You, “How many pharmacists are participating in the Empire Pharmacist Competition this time?”

“Over one hundred and twenty thousand,” Wu You answered respectfully.

“Over one hundred and twenty thousand,” Wang Zhou said with a smile to the crowd, “Do you think Yang Xiaotian can make it into the top one hundred thousand?”

Long Lan remained silent.

In the past few days, he had deliberately inquired about Yang Xiaotian and knew that Yang Xiaotian refined a top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron, which was extremely shocking.

However, in this Empire Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian’s strength was too weak. Nearly all the other competing pharmacists were at the Martial Emperor Realm, and even if Yang Xiaotian’s alchemy level were higher, he would likely not be able to obtain a good ranking.

Although it wasn’t to the extent that Wang Zhou suggested—whether he could rank within the top one hundred thousand—the prospect of Yang Xiaotian entering the top ten thousand was slim!

Seeing that the time was about right, Shi Yongping had Second Elder Chen Nian preside over the Pharmacist Competition.

Chen Nian stood up, surveyed the strong contenders from all sides, introduced in detail the rules and rewards of the Empire Pharmacist Competition, and then asked all the participating pharmacists to move to the competition area.

Yang Xiaotian, along with Gu Shaozong, Long Xingtian, Li Qianqian, and others, proceeded to the competition area as instructed.

“When everyone enters the Medicine Realm later, I hope you all manage your time well. You only have two hours to find medicinal herbs,” Chen Nian said and then opened the spatial entrance to the Medicine Realm.

All the competing pharmacists surged in.

The Empire Pharmacist Competition consisted of three rounds, with the first round being an entry into the Medicine Realm to find the dozens of medicinal herbs required to concoct the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

And they had to find them within two hours to pass.

The Medicine Realm was vast, and finding dozens of medicinal herbs in two hours was challenging!

The hardest part was that everyone had to blindfold their eyes before searching for the herbs.
