After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 321 - This is unreasonable...

Chapter 321 This is unreasonable...

“Ridiculous!!”

Elder Zheng suddenly stood up and angrily scolded!

It should be noted that although the Alchemy Conference is organized by the Ancient Pill Tower, the authority to announce the winner belongs to the Imperial Pavilion!

He could ignore the madmen, but this act was a blatant disregard for him!

“Ancient Pill Tower Master Shi Ning is mad, and the hosting rights for this Alchemy Conference are handed over to Great Elder Yu Shi! If people from the Jiuyan Sect continue to cause a disturbance, they will be expelled from the conference! If they resist, they will be punished with the five exterminations as per the Empress’s decree!” Elder Zheng directly commanded.

His words received unanimous approval from the sects present and the disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower.

In their view, although Yu Shi had peculiar habits and was shameless, under the current madness of Shi Ning, he was indeed the only candidate to host the conference.

“Understood!”

Yu Shi was overjoyed and stepped forward to bow.

Shi Ning, unconvinced, stepped forward to question: “May I ask Elder, what is wrong with what I just said? Jiang Chen’s talent in the Way of the Pill is decisive, he must be the winner of this conference. Why waste time on a competition?”

Elder Zheng couldn’t be bothered to talk to the madwoman and simply shouted angrily: “Step back! Anyone who obstructs the start of the Alchemy Conference will be subject to the five exterminations!”

“...Then let’s wait and see!” Shi Ning’s eyes turned cold, and then she returned to the Tower Master’s seat.

Hearing this, the people from the Jiuyan Sect also had a surge of hostility in their eyes.

If it weren’t for the fact that it wasn’t the time to confront the Imperial Dynasty head-on, they would have torn Elder Zheng to shreds together!

But since they had to compete, then let’s compete.

After all, those participating in the Alchemy Conference were their own people, and the outcome would not change.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Yu Shi stepped forward again and shouted loudly:

“The Alchemy Conference officially begins!”

“As with previous sessions, this conference has three trials. The first trial will select the top thirty, the second trial will select the top ten, and the third trial will only select the top three, each with its own rewards! The final winner will have the opportunity to read the ‘Ancient Pill Scroll’.”

Saying this, Yu Shi stroked his beard and smiled: “And the pill refiner masters who successfully enter the third trial will have the chance to compete on the same stage with Lin Feng, the number one true disciple of our Ancient Pill Tower!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

Why did he smile when mentioning Lin Feng?

Now, upon hearing this, the looks in the eyes of others became even more intense!

“Cough!”

After a light cough, Yu Shi restrained his smile and continued:

“The first trial is to discern pills by scent!”

“As the name suggests, this trial tests the pill refiner masters’ familiarity with alchemy ingredients. For fairness, the pills are provided by the Ancient Pill Tower, with a time limit of one incense stick, and only the top thirty pill refiner masters who successfully discern the pills can advance.”

“Without further ado, the first trial officially begins!!”

With that said, many Ancient Pill Tower disciples entered the alchemy platform and handed over the pills, which had been prepared and placed in pill boxes, to the pill refiner masters.

Looking at the pill box in his hand, Jiang Chen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Yu Shi smirked slyly.

As the Great Elder of the Ancient Pill Tower, it was all too easy for him to tamper with the Alchemy Conference.

The pill in Jiang Chen’s hand was different from the other pill refiner masters.

It was called the Soul Shattering God Destroying Pill.

This pill was a seventh-grade pill and a genuine poison pill.

Although it was useless to Core Formation cultivators of the lower four realms, it could poison cultivators of the upper four realms who had already formed a nascent soul!

It would cause their soul to collapse, their cultivation to dissipate, and it was irreversible!

Due to its extreme malevolence, the Soul Shattering God Destroying Pill had never appeared on the market, and few people knew of it.

Apart from the Tower Master of the Ancient Pill Tower and the elders, it was only recorded in the Ancient Pill Scroll!

Yu Shi’s idea was simple.

He suspected that the theft of the Ancient Pill Scroll was Jiang Chen’s doing, so he specially prepared this pill for Jiang Chen’s trial.

If Jiang Chen could successfully name the ingredients of the pill, it would confirm the theft.

If Jiang Chen could not discern it, it would also eliminate him in the first round of the competition!

The only concern was... whether Shi Ning and the other Ancient Pill Tower elders would notice his interference in the competition and stop him.

These people were all madmen, and it was unclear why they all stood on Jiang Chen’s side, so caution was needed.

Thinking of this, Yu Shi glanced at Shi Ning and the others.

To his surprise, Shi Ning and the others were all looking at the pill in Jiang Chen’s hand while frowning deeply as if they already knew he would tamper with the competition.

But that was it. After laughing a few times as if they had thought of something, they all shifted their gaze away.

‘What are these madmen planning?’ Yu Shi suddenly felt uneasy.

On the other hand, Jiang Chen.

With the pill in the box, he recognized it as the Soul Shattering God Destroying Pill at a glance, thanks to the ‘Ancient Pill Scroll’ in his memory, and he was very clear about its composition.

At the same time, he also realized Yu Shi’s intention and couldn’t help but sneer.

He had anticipated that Yu Shi would tamper with the competition and had made full preparations.

So what if it exposed that he had the Ancient Pill Scroll? He wasn’t afraid!

The reason he had kept it hidden before was that the stigma of ‘theft’ affected his prestige, and he didn’t want to take the blame for the dog system.

But now... so what even if it was exposed?

Do you have evidence?

He was the sole son of the Jiang Family, coming from the Upper Domain, knowing some rare pills was basic operation, right?

Moreover, participating in the Alchemy Conference, he was worried that under the influence of the villain’s halo, the Ancient Pill Scroll might somehow be exposed to everyone due to some coincidence.

Therefore, before the start of the conference, Jiang Chen had entrusted the Ancient Pill Scroll to Mu Kui for safekeeping!

The reason he chose Mu Kui was that Jiang Chen felt that compared to Qingning and Zhang Hu, Mu Kui, although mad, was still steady and never asked too many questions.

With this thought, Jiang Chen was ready to answer.

But before he could act, a pill refiner master of no particular renown and average appearance glanced at the pill in Jiang Chen’s hand, suddenly stood up, and bowed: “With my understanding of the Way of the Pill, I cannot discern the pill in my hand. Therefore, I forfeit!”

In previous years at the Alchemy Conference, many pill refiner masters forfeited due to insufficient knowledge of the Way of the Pill, so Yu Shi was not surprised.

But after glancing at the pill box of the pill refiner master who had spoken, he was speechless again.

He could see at a glance that the pill box of the pill refiner master who had spoken contained a common fifth-grade Blood Qi Pill!

If even this could not be discerned, it could only mean that this pill refiner master was indeed too rubbish.

“Since you forfeit, then leave quickly!” Yu Shi waved his hand impatiently.

The pill refiner master who had spoken nodded, turned to leave, and sighed, shaking his head: “It’s too difficult, really too difficult.”

After a few steps, for some unknown reason, he raised an eyebrow at Jiang Chen.

‘Brother, who are you?’

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Jiang Chen was baffled.

The competition continued.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to stand up and answer, more than ten pill refiner masters suddenly stood up before him!

“Answer one by one!” Yu Shi scolded upon seeing this.

“We are not here to answer.”

The leading pill refiner master bowed and said: “This year’s conference is too difficult, and we are not skilled enough, so we have decided to forfeit together!”

“????”

Yu Shi was full of question marks.

Not just him, even Elder Zheng was extremely confused.

Too difficult?

Both of them cast probing glances at the pill boxes of these pill refiner masters, only to find that they contained common pills as well!

“Are this year’s pill refiner masters all so inadequate?” Elder Zheng frowned.

As his words fell, several more pill refiner masters stood up, also indicating they wanted to forfeit.

After these pill refiner masters left the stage, the pill refiner masters remaining on the alchemy platform were only about thirty in number, exactly matching the number of winners for the first trial.

“The remaining pill refiner masters advance collectively!” Shi Ning took the opportunity to shout.

Glancing at Jiang Chen, Yu Shi felt annoyed in his heart.

But at this moment, he had to admit it.

Jiang Chen had indeed advanced without uttering a single word...

“This is unreasonable...” Yu Shi grumbled inwardly.
