Chapter 329

Pick Two More Items, and They're Treasures Again!

The alchemy competition has come to an end.

On the high platform of the nine-layered palace.

Forty-two imperial guards in seven-colored robes each had two large golden characters emerging from behind them.

"Gu Lin".

Immediately, Zi Chen loudly pronounced the verdict to the Prime Minister:

"The winner of the second alchemy competition is Gu Lin!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Countless spectators clenched their fists and raised them high, shouting enthusiastically:

"Gu Lin, the Judge of Death!"

"Gu Lin, the Judge of Death!"

"Gu Lin, the Judge of Death!"

The sound was so loud that it shook the imperial city, and the surging sound waves continued to rise.

The championship glory is well-deserved!

His opponents were all outstanding, displaying terrifying talent in alchemy.

The God of Slaughter, Yue Yanli, who submitted to him, refined the Overlord Body Pill, which has seven pill patterns and five pill clouds!

The instructor, Shan Buci, faced immense pressure and elevated the Creation Enlightenment Pill within the cauldron to seven pill clouds.

Despite such outstanding results, they still couldn't win the championship.

Jiang Ye, who controls the four seas, suddenly appeared and used his mysterious alchemy soul technique to turn the tide, causing the seven alchemical clouds to rise to twelve. Even Judge Yin praised him highly!

I thought the championship race was a foregone conclusion.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Gu Lin, the judge of death, was transformed into a pill.

Sanduo Danyun's performance would only be considered average among the participants.

But the eight crimson patterns were simply breathtaking!

The quality and medicinal properties of elixirs depend most on the number of elixir patterns!

According to ancient texts on magic and Taoist arts, only those above the level of a master magician can refine elixirs with eight cinnabar patterns.

But in the face of unparalleled geniuses, nothing is impossible!

Gu Lin did it!

Eight crimson patterns dominated the entire arena!

The effects of the Wind-Controlling Pill are truly astonishing.

Is there any controversy left in winning such a championship?

The most terrifying thing is.

He was an hour later than everyone else, and he used the worst possible alchemy furnace.

That would further highlight the talent of the Death Judge!

Poetry and prose are indeed minor arts, only enjoyed by Lord Yin and used to please him. In the real battle between Confucianism and Taoism, poetry and prose are utterly useless.

But alchemy competitions are the best way to demonstrate one's talent in the arts!

The array patterns, pill patterns, and mental power control must all be perfected!

In other words, the Death Judge's magical talent surpasses that of his instructor!

Thinking of this, the applause from all directions grew even louder.

Is the instructor powerful in every way?

Keshan has already lost twice!

In the second competition, he was even defeated by two people!

Many things cannot be shown on stage; once they are, the invincible aura will be shattered!

Amidst the thunderous cheers, Gu Lin returned to his seat, his expression calm and composed.

He was very confident in his talent for magic and Taoist arts.

Unlike martial arts talent and aptitude, it is indeed due to the improvement of divine medicine, and it is still far behind its peers who have ascended to the God Ranking.

However, due to his innate talent in magic and his strong willpower, he was able to set up a simple formation even without needing a book of merit when he first began practicing magic.

With the maxed-out proficiency from the Book of Merit, why would he fear anyone?

"My lord, first, seventh."

Xiao Mu's face flushed with excitement, and his voice trembled slightly as he transmitted his thoughts.

Gu Lin nodded slightly.

Zi Chenchao, the prime minister, smiled amiably and laughed heartily:

"Please invite the leader to come up on stage and draw two colored ritual implements."

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, Gu Lin once again ascended the high platform.

He walked up to the first colorful ritual artifact, gently tapped it open, and colorful ribbons fluttered everywhere.

What was presented to everyone was a miraculous herb.

The willow branch, like a full moon, is adorned with a single dewdrop, exuding a magnificent and ethereal charm.

Countless onlookers stared in astonishment, their eyes filled with envy.

Moonlight condenses on the branches!

Breakthrough Elixir!

Breakthrough by half a level in the Life and Death Realm!

Breakthrough to the first level of the Qiankun Realm!

Breakthrough two levels in the Expansion Realm!

Gu Lin, the judge of death, has such amazing luck!

Amidst countless envious gazes, Gu Lin stored the breakthrough medicine in his storage ring, then walked towards the seventh colorful magical artifact.

Open it, and inside is a array of symbols the size of a finger.

The expressions of countless spectators were numb.

This is a talisman!

It was personally refined by Lord Yin.

Although it's a one-time use item, it can withstand a full-force attack from a peak Martial Saint!

It was a strike from a peak Martial Saint, delivered with all his might!

At this birthday celebration, the Zichen Dynasty announced that four of the twelve colorful magical artifacts were of great value.

Gu Lin drew away the fifth wisp of primordial energy.

Gu Lin took away the centipede pearl from the second-ninth-tier great demon, the Thousand-Legged Sea Centipede.

The third breakthrough medicine still belongs to Gu Lin.

Fourth, the protective array talisman was also taken away by him...

Even the noble and elegant empress was somewhat speechless.

She knew that those who made it onto the list of gods were all blessed with good fortune to some extent.

This luck is just too amazing!

The Empress did not know exactly what the twelve magical artifacts were, but according to Lord Yin, there should be three or four other treasures whose value was no less than these four.

Gu Lin returned to his seat without changing his expression.

He glanced at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu had a stern face and looked very serious.

Gu Lin, of course, was able to keep his composure.

However, a smile spread through my heart.

This trip was totally worth it.

The breakthrough medicine is enough for me to break through to the first level of the Qiankun Realm!

The Centipede Pearl allows one to further enhance their physical strength, making them comparable to the mid-stage of the Qiankun Realm!

Amulet, a talisman that protects one's life.

Five strands of primordial energy are even more valuable and beneficial for conquering the strange ancient path!

On the high platform, Zi Chen addressed the Prime Minister in a booming voice:

"The final test is a martial arts contest."

"All will compete at the first level of the Qiankun Realm, a pure contest of martial arts talent and comprehension. No Confucian arts, Gu poisons, or any other means are permitted!"

"The leader can also choose two colorful ritual implements."

"Those who wish to participate, step onto the platform."

After he finished speaking, the imperial city fell silent.

Lord Yin is proficient in Confucianism, martial arts, and other disciplines, which is why there are these three tests.

The first two competitions were already quite exciting.

But the last competition is the main event!

However, this is only a stage for two people.

The God of Slaughter submits to Yue Yanli!

A single thought can reach the heavens, and mountains will not hesitate to be climbed!

Two riders left the enemy in the dust!

One person ranked fifty-twoth on the list of gods.

One person ranked forty-fifth on the list of gods!

Given that they could only use martial arts true essence, the other prodigies on the God Ranking were even less able to compete with them.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two stepped onto the high platform one after the other.

To fail to win first place in both competitions is a great disgrace!

This is a disgrace to our reputation and a complete loss of face!

We must win the final competition!

Prove yourself in front of Lord Yin and the Empress.

Only by winning the combat capability assessment can they salvage some dignity.

Ultimately, it all comes down to ability!

Yue Yanli's eyes burned brightly, her whole body radiating a powerful fighting spirit.

He wanted to personally trample on his teacher and tell the world that the teacher was not invincible, that Shan Buci was not worthy of competing, and that he had no right to win the Empress's favor.

Only I, Yue Yanli, who slays the gods and submits, am worthy of the majestic Phoenix's Cry, the one whose power surpasses all others!

Shan Buci, who always had a gentle and smiling demeanor, shared the same thought.

If I don't win first place, the halo of being a teacher will be shattered.

He wanted to make Yue Yanli suffer humiliation!

Only the one who teaches can be worthy of teaching!

What kind of innate dual divine body is this? It's nothing more than a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon!
