The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 895: Such Rewards
Except for the first place winner, Su Jingzhen, everyone’s gaze moved downward.
In second place, as expected, was Little Ling’s holographic image.
She had refined the same Heavenly Dragon Pill.
And it had also reached the superior quality.
However, the blood she used was from the remnants of Hei Shuang.
Although she had special methods to keep it fresh, even Hei Shuang’s fresh blood could not match Su Huohuo’s true dragon blood.
Even though they both reached the superior quality, the one with true dragon blood naturally surpassed the other.
However, Little Ling possessed the Heart of the Luminous Candle.
Everyone present was not surprised to see such a result.
As they continued to look down, the third place was still not Mu Qingshi!
Instead, it was the blue-robed youth just behind Su Jingzhen.
He had refined a fifth-grade pill, Xuanxin Pill, of top grade quality!
However, there were many others who had also refined fifth-grade pills of top quality.
The Xuanxin Pill’s level was slightly higher, and its effects and refining difficulty were stronger than others.
“Who is this guy?
I was surprised to be placed in the middle before.
Now he has achieved the third place, but I’ve never seen him before.
It seems that he’s not one of the outstanding young talents from the various factions participating in this grand alchemical event.”
“It looks like he’s also a dark horse. Has anyone noticed? His Dan Heart, when he was refining it, seemed quite unfamiliar.
But it was very powerful.”
“Strange!
But this alchemy grand event is getting more and more interesting.”
“…”
The third place left most of the audience puzzled.
But the cultivation world is full of hidden talents, so it’s reasonable to have some unknown geniuses.
Everyone stopped thinking about it.
As they continued down the list, Mu Qingshi not only didn’t get the first place, but didn’t even make it into the top ten.
On the other hand, Wang Yingying, who had become Cheng Xian’s disciple, had seen a significant increase in her alchemical skills.
With the enhancement of her ethereal Dan Heart, she had also refined a fifth-grade pill of top quality.
She ranked eleventh!
And Mu Qingshi’s proud Heavenly Yellow Pill was ranked eighteenth.
This made him feel dizzy and filled with an intense sense of loss.
He couldn’t believe that with his genuine alchemical skills, he had only ranked eighteenth in this event.
If he hadn’t been so eager to compete and be the first to succeed,
If he had refined with more focus and slowed down, his Heavenly Yellow Pill could have been of a higher quality.
At that time, getting into the top ten wouldn’t have been a big problem.
After all, his Mingling Dan Heart had recently been nearly complete.
He was one of the most outstanding young participants in this grand alchemy event.
Otherwise, his seat wouldn’t have been arranged around Su Jingzhen.
Mu Qingshi, who had a rather twisted mentality, was gradually becoming darker.
“The rankings and refined pills are all listed. Does anyone have any objections to this ranking? You can raise them now.
If there are no objections, the second round will begin tomorrow!”
Zhou Daoqi’s voice echoed throughout the venue.
The nearly 200,000 alchemists who had advanced to the next round had no objections.
Even the extremely discontented Mu Qingshi had to grit his teeth and accept it.
He knew that the top-quality Heavenly Yellow Pill couldn’t compare to Su Jingzhen’s superior-quality Heavenly Dragon Pill.
Seeing this, Zhou Daoqi nodded silently.
The rankings were a conclusion drawn by the elders of the Divine Dan Sect.
Indeed, there should be no one to question it.
Then Zhou Daoqi continued, “My Divine Dan Sect, which has organized this grand alchemy event, will not neglect any of the participants.
Those of you who have passed will receive generous rewards.
I know that some of you are here for the faith of alchemists.
But more of you are here for the rewards of the Divine Dan Sect and the opportunities for growth during the competition.”
“I won’t waste any more words.
The top 200 in the first round can all join the Divine Dan Sect. At the very least, I promise to make you core disciples.
And for the top ten, I promise to at least have you accepted by one of the ten great elders!”
As Zhou Daoqi’s words echoed out, the central plaza suddenly erupted in excitement.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Many young alchemists who had made it into the top 200 were ecstatic.
They had thought that Zhou Daoqi and the other higher-ups of the Divine Dan Sect had forgotten about them.
Joining the Divine Dan Sect and being accepted by one of its great elders was the lifelong dream of many alchemists.
In the entire cultivation world, the Divine Dan Sect was considered by the majority to be the authority in the realm of alchemists.
It was the dream destination of all alchemists.
“Why can the Divine Dan Sect dominate the field of alchemy? This could be the reason.
A simple alchemy grand event can gather alchemy talents from dozens of realms.”
“Only those alchemists they don’t like might end up in other factions.”
“…”
Many spectators felt a sense of awe.
But even more were filled with envy.
Who wouldn’t want to have many high-level alchemists in their sect?
After all, elixirs were too important for cultivation.
Of course, those who were excited were mostly those who were ranked after the top ten.
Those who were truly qualified to be accepted by the Ten Great Elders were quite calm.
Seeing Su Jingzhen and the others remain composed, Zhou Daoqi continued, “Additionally, the third place will receive a reward: one eighth-grade elixir formula, and the second place, besides the formula, will also get one Mystic Immortal Realm-grade artifact!”
Upon hearing these words, the alchemists who had passed the first round became even more jealous, and their hearts turned purple with envy.
At the same time, they were even more curious as to what kind of reward Su Jingzhen would receive.
Zhou Daoqi didn’t beat around the bush.
He looked at Su Jingzhen and continued, “The first place winner in the first round will be able to enter the Divine Dan Sect’s treasury and choose any treasure to take with them.
You will also have the opportunity to receive teachings from the Divine Dan Sect’s Sect Master!”
These words undoubtedly caused another wave of astonishment among the crowd.
“To be able to enter the Divine Dan Sect’s treasury and choose at will!
Is that really necessary for the first place in the first round?”
“In the entire cultivation world, there probably aren’t many factions with more treasures than the Divine Dan Sect’s treasury, right?”
“Treasures are secondary; some are powerful, but with Su Jingzhen’s cultivation, he might not be able to take them.
However, the opportunity to receive teachings from the Divine Dan Sect’s sect master is too rare. That level of cultivator might casually drop a hint that could take an ordinary cultivator to new heights.”
“Don’t be angry. Teachings are nothing. If Su Jingzhen is willing, being accepted as a disciple by the Divine Dan Sect’s sect master is a trivial matter.”
“…”
The crowd continued to discuss.
What they didn’t know was that the Divine Dan Sect’s sect master had already expressed that she wasn’t worthy to be Su Jingzhen’s teacher.
Su Jingzhen’s heart was also a little excited.
As far as treasures were concerned, with the Flying Snow Divine Furnace, he basically had nothing lacking.
However, he highly valued this opportunity to receive teachings. Of course, he didn’t really care what kind of teachings they were.
He just wanted to learn more about many aspects of being an alchemist.
Not far from Su Jingzhen, Mu Qingshi heard the rewards for the top three,
The last bit of calm on his face also froze.
His heart gradually twisted!
“The top three, come over here. The rest can disperse.
Tomorrow, the second round of the examination will be held here!”
Zhou Daoqi’s voice resounded once again.
On the alchemy platforms, those who had been eliminated shook their heads and sighed.
After organizing his things, Su Jingzhen stepped down from the stage.
The contestants from the first round also began to leave, leaving only the countless spectators who had remained seated.
They were afraid that if they left now, their seats would be taken when they returned.
After all, there were still many cultivators on their way here.
Su Jingzhen, accompanied by Little Ling, returned to Qiu Yaoyao’s side.
Before he could say anything, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of them.
【Emotional Connection+45】
【Emotional Connection+45】
【Emotional Connection+45】
【……】
【Remaining Usable Points: 20,315】
Qiu Yaoyao had directly given him a six hit combo!
Su Jingzhen’s excitement grew even more.
Compared to the treasures of the Divine Dan Sect, actual points felt far more satisfying.
“Congratulations to both of you!” Qiu Yaoyao said to Su Jingzhen and Little Ling with genuine warmth.
Her tone was full of pride.
Feeling the countless gazes from the crowd gathering toward them, Qiu Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel a sense of shared glory.
At the same time, there was a slight sense of disappointment in her heart.
Su Jingzhen was becoming more and more radiant.
It felt as though just standing beside him made her feel somewhat ashamed of herself.
Although Dantai Mingjing had once told her that with proper cultivation, she too would have her moment to shine, she had no idea when that would be.
Despite being the top-ranking member of the Heavenly Dragon Race, one of the elite among its disciples, she was still aware that the Heavenly Dragon Race was only a second-tier force in Zhongzhou.
Even though she had fully entrusted herself to Su Jingzhen, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of insecurity.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen spoke: “Yaoyao, you should go back to the mansion and rest.
Tomorrow, no one will take this spot, and Little Ling and I will go collect the so-called reward.”
Su Jingzhen came to inform Qiu Yaoyao.
She nodded without hesitation and had no objections.
Even though the reward ceremony had not been expected, something that was given for free was still worth taking.
When Qiu Yaoyao had been in the Luo River region, she had already been the center of attention wherever she went.
However, compared to the scene here, those moments in the Luo River region now felt insignificant.
There were over a hundred million people here, and many of them were cultivators stronger than her.
Being stared at by the crowd’s gaze, Qiu Yaoyao inevitably felt some pressure.
Without anyone accompanying her, she naturally didn’t want to stay here any longer.
Thankfully, it was only for a day. She could return tomorrow.
Soon, Qiu Yaoyao left the main square and headed back to her estate.
Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling went directly to the side of Elder Zhou Daoqi and the other elders of the Divine Dan Sect.
“Su Jingzhen!”
“Dantai Ling’er!”
Upon reaching the elders, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling bowed respectfully.
However, when Su Jingzhen bowed, Zhou Daoqi and the other elders graciously accepted.
But when Little Ling bowed, the elders subtly moved to the side.
As soon as Little Ling stood up, the elders’ expressions softened, and even Zhou Daoqi’s gaze became noticeably softer.
Behind them, Cheng Xian, Song Kaishan, and the others had a trace of fervor in their eyes.
However, neither Su Jingzhen nor Little Ling noticed these details.
After them, the young man in blue arrived with a leisurely pace.
“Tian Lin pays his respects to the elders.”
This fellow Tian Lin had always maintained a humble demeanor, but even though he bowed, it didn’t seem to carry much genuine respect.
However, the elders didn’t mind.
“Follow me.”
Zhou Daoqi nodded without hesitation and led Su Jingzhen, Little Ling, and Tian Lin through the air toward the palace group high in the sky.
Seeing this scene, the remaining cultivators below could only look on in envy.
“This should have been mine!”
Mu Qingshi muttered bitterly once again.
Led by Zhou Daoqi, Su Jingzhen and the others soon arrived at the highest point of the floating palace cluster in the void.
There, on a floating island, was a rather ancient looking stone hall.
At the entrance, two elderly figures dressed in gray were sitting cross-legged. They had no aura, like mummified corpses.
Upon reaching this place, Elder Zhou Daoqi’s expression turned stern.
Then, to the astonishment of Su Jingzhen and the others, he actually bowed respectfully to these two ‘mummified corpses’.
“Elders, Zhou Daoqi has brought the top three from this alchemy conference to the treasure vault. Please open the door for us,” Zhou Daoqi’s voice echoed.
The two corpses slowly opened their eyes.
Immediately, two obscure auras awakened within them, like ancient dragons stirring from a deep abyss.
The two elders scanned Su Jingzhen and the others with their eyes. Their faces, like withered tree bark, seemed to crack into a faint smile.
Su Jingzhen, Little Ling, and the young man Tian Lin all changed their expressions slightly.
At that moment, they felt as if all of their secrets were being exposed to these two ancient figures.
Then the two elders moved in sync, pointing toward the large doors of the stone hall behind them.
A mysterious energy acted upon the doors, which emitted a deep rumbling sound as if sealed for many years.
The doors suddenly opened, and an ancient aura rushed toward them.
“Thank you, Senior!” Zhou Daoqi once again bowed respectfully to the two elders.
Without hesitation, he led Su Jingzhen, Little Ling, and Tian Lin into the hall.
The stone doors remained open, but the two gray-clad elders returned to their silent, mummified state.
As they crossed the threshold, it felt like stepping into another world, much like the treasure vault Su Jingzhen had entered before.
Looking up, they saw the vast expanse of stars above them.
Each star emanated a powerful aura.
Clearly, each of these stars contained extraordinary treasures.
Upon entering, Zhou Daoqi did not hesitate. He raised his hand, and three large stars seemed to fall from the heavens.
They landed in his palm, transforming into two jade plates and an ancient, verdant-green jade ruler!
Without even looking at them, Zhou Daoqi handed the two jade plates to Tian Lin and Little Ling.
As second and third place, they couldn’t choose their rewards, so they had to accept whatever Zhou Daoqi gave them.
They were two formula for 8th grade pills.
Each formula was worth a fortune in the cultivation world, as 8th grade alchemists were rare.
As for the Ancient Jade Ruler, it radiated a powerful aura.
It also had an intense vitality.
“This is the Life Ruler. Its grade is at the Immortal Lord level. It can not only serve as a defensive artifact, but also greatly enhance the process of alchemy.”
He explained briefly and handed the ruler to Little Ling.
When he spoke to Little Ling, Zhou Daoqi’s tone unconsciously became much softer.
“Thank you!”
Little Ling didn’t bother checking the pill formula; she simply put them away. However, she was quite pleased with the Life Ruler.
Zhou Daoqi nodded again.
Then his gaze shifted to Su Jingzhen, and he smiled before saying, “Young friend Su, it’s your turn now. The stars in the sky hide endless possibilities. Feel free to choose whatever you like!”
