CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 259 PILL SAINT ASSISTANT! THE MIGHT OF THE SWORD GOD!

Obviously a sure victory, unexpectedly ruined by a careless explosion in the furnace.

This instantly ignited overwhelming rage in the hearts of Li Chang and the Restricted Area Quasi-Emperor.

The affairs of the Celestial Pill Pavilion are of great importance, and they have prepared for this for a long time.

As long as they can smoothly seize the position of Pavilion Master, they have thousands of ways to quietly influence the Pill Masters within Celestial Pill City.

This way, the Restricted Area can control the lifelines of Alchemy Dao without expending a single soldier!

But if they lose these three competitions.

The Pill King faction would only be able to join with the Restricted Area to activate the grand formation and forcibly influence all the cultivators in the city.

In doing so, not only would the losses be significant, but the secret would also be leaked.

Which of these two choices is better is obvious.

But who would have thought something that was a sure thing was lost due to Jun Yu’s negligence!

"Jun Yu, you better have a reason for me not to kill you!"

When Jun Yu arrived in front of him, the Restricted Area Quasi-Emperor spoke with a sinister tone.

Li Chang, standing beside him, also had a cold expression, his eyes unfriendly.

"It was Lord Tong Lin’s order, otherwise, how would I dare act like this."

Facing the questioning crowd, Jun Yu was aggrieved.

He is a supreme genius in Alchemy Dao, how could he have an explosion in the furnace at such a crucial moment.

For this first competition, he should have had both fame and gain.

But now, he has probably become a laughingstock in Celestial Pill City.

"This... Lord Tong Lin’s order?"

Jun Yu’s words instantly silenced Li Chang and the Restricted Area Quasi-Emperor.

The two looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

"It was a certain victory, why did Lord Tong Lin give such an order?" The Restricted Area Quasi-Emperor frowned and spoke.

Li Chang, standing beside him, was also puzzled.

After a long pause, he uncertainly said, "Could it be... there’s a plan we’re unaware of?"

"The Master of Blood Evil doesn’t trust us, so he let Lord Tong Lin take charge?"

This reason is flimsy, but it was the only possibility he could think of.

"Forget it, a loss is a loss."

The Restricted Area Quasi-Emperor looked at the jubilant Pill Saint faction and said coldly:

"There are still two more matches, I want to see what the Pill Saint faction will use to win!"

The second competition is about connections.

With the Dark Forbidden Area as its backing, the Pill King faction is obviously far superior to the Pill Saint and others!

...

And at the same time.

With the first victory secured, everyone from the Pill Saint faction was overjoyed.

"Great, we won the first match, now it’s up to the third!"

The disciples of the Pill Saint faction said with smiles:

"For the second match regarding connections, we might not be opponents."

"But for the third match of pill affinity, the teacher may not lose to Li Chang."

"We have hope for the Pavilion Master position!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present shook off their previous anxiety and laughed heartily.

Even Ye Jingshan couldn’t help but smile.

His gaze swept below the dan stage, muttering to himself, "Who exactly is the high person helping?"

He knew very well that if no one helped, Chu Xi would definitely not be Jun Yu’s opponent.

But after pondering, he couldn’t guess who exactly was helping him.

A high person capable of influencing souls from the Restricted Area, he shouldn’t have come into contact with...

And just as Ye Jingshan was deep in thought, Chu Xi nearby frowned and said:

"Teacher, can we really not win the second match?"

"Do we have to go to the third and gamble on luck?"

The affinity of a pill is not unchanging.

No one knows what the standards for measuring this are.

If there really is one, it might be... the mood of the Dan Spirit?

"Do you think I want to?"

Ye Jingshan said helplessly, "Li Chang has the Dark Forbidden Area behind him."

"When it comes to connections, we are far from enough, unless there are two heavyweight figures coming."

"But such figures..."

Before finishing the sentence, Ye Jingshan shook his head.

Such figures generally need to have a status equivalent to the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Pill Pavilion.

But people like that, at his current level, he hasn’t come into contact with yet.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi also shook his head but then remembered something, his eyes brightened slightly,

"I wonder if that high person will lend a hand again?"

...

"The champion of the first round, personal disciple of the Pill Saint, Chu Xi."

The voice of the old Pavilion Master sounded again, "The second round, test of connections."

"Friends invited by the Pill Masters of my pavilion may stand behind them."

"The one who gains the most and the strongest support from organizations and experts will win!"

"Now, begin!"

The old Pavilion Master seemed to barely be holding on to his simple role as host.

While others were still absorbed in the affair of Jun Yu’s explosion, failing to regain composure, the second round had quietly begun.

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, accompanied by a cold snort, Pill King Li Chang strode upwards to the sky.

He ascended the firmament, cupped his hands, and said loudly to the four directions:

"I am Pill King Li Chang. If I am fortunate enough to gain the position of Pavilion Master today, I will teach the Dao to the Pill City and thank everyone for their support."

This second round, the test of connections, is a very important part.

In the past, anyone who wanted to compete for the position of Pavilion Master would promise many benefits with long speeches.

After all, without even mentioning their invited friends, just the Pill Masters and experts who came to the city upon hearing the news were many.

If one could gain the support of this group, it would be a formidable force.

But the Pill King, after merely speaking one sentence, did not continue to say more.

Clearly, he is confident in his inevitable win in this round and does not care whether the people below the dan stage support him or not.

On the other side, Ye Jingshan, after taking a deep breath, also walked slowly into the void.

He looked around and said calmly with cupped hands:

"Everyone, how I, Ye Jingshan, am is not for me to say."

"Today’s matter is crucial for me, for the Pill Pavilion, and for Alchemy Dao worldwide."

"This position of Pavilion Master can be taken by anyone in the world, but not by Li Chang!"
