91: Alchemy in the Bamboo Forest

With four Enforcement Elders here, who would dare to harm anyone?

The Enforcement Elder said, "The first round is Alchemy. In the bamboo forest ahead, there are five sets of Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients, five sets of Profound Rank Second Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients, and twenty sets of Profound Rank Third to Fifth Grade ingredients."

"Whoever refines the most Medicinal Pills in the Alchemy competition will be first. One set of Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills is equivalent to twenty sets of Profound Rank Second Grade Medicinal Pills."

Tang Tian asked, "Can you refine those Medicinal Pills?"

Zhen Qu said, "I can refine all of them."

Tang Tian was stunned and asked, "You are a Profound Rank First Grade Alchemist."

Zhen Qu said, "Of course. In the future, if you need Alchemy, I'll give you a discount."

As the Enforcement Elder gave the order, the competition began.

But no Cultivator walked out of the courtyard.

As Tang Tian wondered, five Disciples brought a storage ring and gave it to Zhen Qu and the other Disciples who were Alchemists.

The Enforcement Elder said, "Here are twenty sets of Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills. You can refine the Medicinal Pills needed by the Cultivator you invited."

Tang Tian: ...

Zhen Qu asked, "Fellow Daoist Yu, I wonder if your Spiritual Qi is enough?"

Tang Tian said, "My Spiritual Qi is certainly enough."

Zhen Qu said, "Then refine Medicinal Pills that increase speed, and also some that increase physical strength."

These five people began Alchemy. Tang Tian also had a chance to observe who the four invited Cultivators were.

These four Cultivators were all over thirty years old, and one of them was even a ninety-year-old elder, though relatively young for a Cultivator.

Tang Tian observed them carefully and did not notice vigorous Qi and blood. It was clear they were not Body Cultivators.

They were probably Spell Cultivators or something similar, but this Green Mountain Sect also has a Literary Qi Pool, so it's not impossible for there to be Wen Xius.

The fragrance of Medicinal Pills continuously wafted.

Until evening, Zhen Qu finished refining eighteen Swift Movement Pills to increase speed and two Dragon Blood Pills to enhance physical strength.

Zhen Qu said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, these are eighteen Swift Movement Pills and two Dragon Blood Pills. Don't worry, there's no Medicinal Pill poison."

Zhen Qu even added a thoughtful remark.

Tang Tian looked at the Medicinal Pills refined by the four people around him. They had obvious Impurities, but the four invited Cultivators didn't care.

...

The Enforcement Elder said, "Since the Medicinal Pills have been refined, the competition begins. It will end when the last set of Medicinal Pills is brought back."

As soon as the Enforcement Elder finished speaking, the five people rushed out.

The five people who had just been doing Alchemy were now recovering their Spiritual Qi.

Since one set of Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills is equivalent to twenty sets of Profound Rank Third Grade Medicinal Pills.

Then naturally, they should first take the Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients.

These five sets happened to be one set per person.

But Tang Tian didn't think that way.

Tang Tian secretly thought, "As long as I get two sets of Profound Rank Medicinal Pills ingredients, then we will have an advantage."

At the very front of the bamboo forest, there were several signs, listing Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills to Profound Rank Fifth Grade, and so on.

The four Enforcement Elders beside them were watching.

Everyone wanted to get the Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients first.

These five sets of Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients were placed separately, clearly intending for this group of Cultivators to fight.

In the five directions of southeast, northwest, and by the lake, Tang Tian ran directly south, because he planned to snatch another one.

Those who ran directly towards the lake were playing it safe.

Tang Tian immediately consumed two Swift Movement Pills, but then saw a Cultivator directly consume five Swift Movement Pills.

Tang Tian was stunned and thought to himself, "So ruthless!"

Tang Tian directly applied two more Divine Movement Talismans. Tang Tian had still underestimated these Cultivators' desire for the Marrow Cleansing Pool, Spiritual Cleansing Pool, and Literary Qi Pool.

Tang Tian fell behind. Tang Tian directly condensed three Cold Feathers and shot them at one of the Middle-aged Cultivators.

The Middle-aged Cultivator immediately prepared a defensive Talisman, but didn't expect Tang Tian's Cold Feathers to be for deceleration.

Tang Tian directly surpassed him, and then consumed three more Swift Movement Pills.

The Lin-named Cultivator from before clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Young Miss Zhen, the Cultivator you invited is really going all out. A mere Lianqi Sixth Level dares to consume five Swift Movement Pills. He truly doesn't care about his life, nor is he afraid of being unable to Cultivate in the future."

Zhen Qu said, "Lin Fei, this Lianqi Sixth Level Cultivator is the one who killed the Yuanjia Gang Leader. He should be enough to deal with that old man you found."

Lin Fei said in disbelief, "What! You really hide deeply."

The previously full-chested, short female Cultivator said, "I wonder if Sister Zhen Qu's reward is generous. Otherwise, my Li family's offer isn't small either."

The cold and beautiful female Cultivator looked at the short female Cultivator and said, "How shameless."

The short female Cultivator chuckled and did not reply.

The Middle-aged Cultivator who had been slowed down by Tang Tian hardened his heart and consumed two more Swift Movement Pills.

But Tang Tian threw out several more Cold Feathers, slowing him down again.

Tang Tian thought to himself, "This person is truly ruthless. I wouldn't even dare to consume these Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills like that."

Tang Tian grabbed two sets of Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients and directly put them into his storage ring.

He originally wanted to go for others, but found that the Cultivators were staring intently at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian changed his steps and directly went to snatch the Profound Rank Second Grade Medicinal Pills.

The Middle-aged Cultivator roared from behind, "Thief, return my Medicinal Pills!"

Tang Tian said, "You're wrong to say that. Those with strength obtain them. You simply aren't strong enough."

The Middle-aged Cultivator angrily said, "Sharp-tongued."

And attacked Tang Tian.

Tang Tian directly unleashed thirty streams of Evil Qi to block him.

The Middle-aged Cultivator said in shock, "You are the Cultivator who killed the Yuanjia Gang Leader!"

Tang Tian was a bit speechless. He could be recognized like this? Was he that famous?

The Middle-aged Cultivator was a Spell Cultivator. The Middle-aged Cultivator said, "So what if you're a Body Cultivator? But I'm not the Yuanjia Gang Leader! My Spell Cultivator skills will still crush you!"

Great, another madman.

The Middle-aged Cultivator's Spiritual Qi transformed into fine needles, attacking Tang Tian.

There were thousands of these fine needles. It seemed this Middle-aged Cultivator indeed had strength. The fine needles were incredibly fast.

They even blocked the movements of the three Cultivators nearby. He had already broken through his defense. If he couldn't get these Profound Rank First Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients, he would definitely lose this Alchemy competition.

Tang Tian, however, narrowly dodged them. Tang Tian said, "I am a Body Cultivator. You're still a bit lacking."

Those thousands of fine needles completely destroyed the bamboo forest in front.

Tang Tian walked directly towards the Profound Rank Second Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients.

He grabbed one set, but then realized that the old Cultivator who had gone to get the Medicinal Pills by the lake had already taken three sets of Profound Rank Second Grade Medicinal Pills ingredients.

Tang Tian was stunned and said, "I didn't expect you to get a windfall."

The remaining set was taken by a fifty-year-old Cultivator.

And the Middle-aged Cultivator from before, after all this time, hadn't gotten a single Medicinal Pill ingredient.

The burly male Cultivator said, "Zhen Qu, are you deliberately targeting me?"

Zhen Qu said, "Junior Brother Guang, you're just short-sighted, who can you blame? Junior Brother Guang's Artifact Refining Peak has always been snatching resources from my Alchemy Peak. It seems this time you'll get nothing..."
