Hao i was standing against Yang Shen with her eyes locked onto the man, and a cold aura enveloping her. She had just threatened to kill him and this really scared Yang Shen, he knew that Hao i could get angry at tis, but this was the first ti he saw this actually happening. The image of the gentle white flower he had collapsed.
However, while he was doubting himself, Hao i was reaching towards the void, well, she was going to take out her sword and kill this pig for insulting her Master. In Hao i’s world, Shi Lang was the ceiling, the one person who could not be tainted by others, and even if he becos a demon, Hao i would not mind giving her life for him, because she considered that the life she was living at this mont was given to her by Shi Lang.
The Terran saw this, and reached out quickly to hold Hao i’s shoulder. The young lady froze the cold killing intent radiating from her vanished, and Shi Lang said, "It is good that you respect , and love , child. I am grateful for that, and you know that I love you as well, after all, who made my daughter so good? However, it is not right to reach out for the sword just because we have ran into soone who has so misunderstandings. I have always told you, always be clear in your intentions, you don’t need to be servile, and nor do you need to be overbearing.
If you don’t want to do sothing, you don’t have to do it no matter who asks you, but make sure to say that you are not doing it clean and loudly. So that the other person does not stay hanging from the hook."
As soon as he said this, Hao i realized what her politeness had done. It was her ambiguity that caused Yang Shen to chase after her and stay hung up on the thought that he could win her after defeating or surpassing her in Alchemy. Her shoulders drooped and she looked at the young man before her and said, "Young Master Yang, I apologize for not being clear with you that day. I have no interest in romantic love of finding a Dao Companion. I have only one aim in my life and that is to climb the peak of Alchemy Path."
As soon as those words dropped the people looked at Shi Lang, they were thinking about how righteous do you need to be, to tell your own child to go ahead and apologize for the wrongs they have committed. However, at this mont, Yang Shen didn’t look happy. He looked at Hao i, whose face spelled detachnt, and then he looked at Shi Lang, who just got promoted to the new heights of respect.
He sneered and replied, "Is this so thod that you have co up with to gain attention from the world?"
Shi Lang sighed and replied, "Kid, you ca here to compete, right? Co, I will duel with you but if you spouted one more word from your pansy mouth, believe , there is no one to stop from acting, and that applies to your master at the Silver Star dicine Valley."
As he said this, Yang Shen cald down a little, it was not reason but the fear because Shi Lang was the notorious Shura King. Yang Shen thought that Shi Lang would not only kill him, but also his sect mbers. Thinking about this he cald down and then said, "Fine, Senior, please lead the way."
Shi Lang patted Hao i’s head and said, "Co."
He could tell that she was feeling guilty for various reason. One of them was that she caused Shi Lang to loss face before everyone because his daughter was about to kill soone over a disagreent. This was not sothing that suited her image or nature. She felt bad, really bad, had Shi Lang not stopped her, it would have beco a black stain of her life. While she was mulling over it, they reached the square and Shi Lang took out his special cauldron.
He looked at the nine dragon cauldron and mumbled, "It has been ages since I refined a pill."
Then he turned to look at Yang Shen who was standing at a distance and said, "Kid, my daughter has told you her decision, and I am not going to force her to give in to you, even if you win. So, you can chose sothing else. What do you want? I hope it is sothing reasonable."
Yang Shen sighed and looked at Hao i for a mont before he turned to look at Shi Lang and said, "Senior, I only wish to restore my pride. That is all."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Good."
Then he paused and asked, "What pill do you want to refine."
Yang Shen was shocked and then he said, "Nine Body Refining Pill."
Shi Lang sighed and replied, "Excellent, the concept of refining nine pills in a cauldron with all having different effectiveness, genius if you ask . Good, what would you like to compare? Timing of refining? Quality or technique?"
Yang Shen took a deep breath, Shi Lang was handing him all the control and this was not looking good, but he was the junior so giving him the priority was an appropriate attitude from a senior. Yang Shen knew that Shi Lang was a monster, he was the peak that most of the people wanted to climb or just see, but here he was, a young man carving the path of his own. Although his goal had changed from finding the love of his life to stand back again and face the world with a clear heart.
The young man took a deep breath and replied, "We can compete in terms of all the categories."
Shi Lang thought for a mont and said, "Fine, I will not hold back though."
Yang Shen nodded and bowed slightly, a silent gesture of thanks. Then the competition began. Hao i was standing beside Tong Bai who had placed her hand around her shoulder. The young lady had not even lifted her gaze from the floor ever since she has apologized. Although Tong Bai was not going to console her, but she was not going to leave her alone. Alia and the rest also ca over, and Tong Bai told her about the situation.
Alia felt for Hao i, but didn’t step up to console her, she wanted the young lady to get a grasp of the situation and then handle it herself, she was not a baby anymore and this was not the kindergarten where she needed to be looked after.
...
Shi Lang had tossed in the herbs and then he separated them with his spirit flas burning under the cauldron, he was quick, and after a few monts, the herbs lted and then with a flick of his hand, Shi Lang put away the impurities from the essence at his level, this kind of thing didn’t even need any precaution but he was not underestimating his opponent. On the contrary, he was holding back.
The herb essence began to mix and then ford several spherical pills inside the cauldron, each one of them had a different essence concentration, and Shi Lang’s hands didn’t stop, he was creating seals to gather the essence quickly and it was as if his hands were leaving behind after images. The Terran was acting as if he was going all out, but the elders who knew the depth of his mastery could tell that he was holding back to give the young man, Yang Shen a fair chance to fight it out.
They knew that he would not lose, but he would also not crush the opponent rcilessly. This guy was a tribulation level alchemist, and his skills were a good thing for the human race, thus, they were going to preserve him and use him later.
After fifteen minutes, the lid of the two cauldrons ca off simultaneously, and then the clouds gathered above the Asura Hall. Two tribulations descended to test the pills inside and the result was, they both passed.
However, one thing that was off caused the people to gasp. It was the lightning marks on the pills. Tian Long stepped up and said, "Yang Shen has nine pills, five have three lightning marks, and four have two lightning marks. Shi Lang, has nine pills, all have three lightning marks."
The people feel silent and then they cheered. Yang Shen sighed, he knew that he could not win, to reach the level of three lightning marks in one pill was equivalent of burning ten years in constant practice, and that ant he would need forty years to catch up to Shi Lang, and that was only for this particular pill recipe.
Every pill have a different formula and different way of refining. He turned to look at Shi Lang and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your instruction, Senior."
Shi Lang shook his head as he replied, "Don’t worry, it was good that you ca around, I could work up so skills after all these years. Thank you."
