Chapter 1109: Chapter 1108: Sliced at
Xu Zii looked at the posted notice and then turned his gaze to Miss Jing, asking, “What is this Myriad Laws Pill eting?”
“It’s one of the grand occasions in Brahma Demon City,” Miss Jing explained.
“Currently, the Brahma Sect in the Western Region is divided into two factions: one is the Demon Sect, and the other is the Zen Sect.
The two factions are in constant conflict, each wanting to eradicate the other and beco the true ruler of the Western Region’s Brahma Sect.
This so-called Myriad Laws Pill eting is a feverish era for alchemists.
Every year, the Demon and Zen Sects compete in secret, and the winner gains control of the Edge of the Sky, End of the Sea’s small world for three years.”
“Now that’s interesting,” Xu Zii said with a smile.
……
“Zen Old Ghost, wait and see, we’re not done with this,” the black-robed elder retorted angrily.
“What can you possibly do to ,” Zen Old Ghost laughed: “The Pill eting competition is all about one’s own skill, not even the Sect Master can interfere with .
In my opinion, your Demon Sect should have been abolished long ago, if not for the Sect Master’s protection.”
“Bullshit,” the black-robed elder cursed angrily: “Believe it or not, I’ll beat you to the ground right now.”
“Then let’s try and see who’s afraid, who!” Zen Old Ghost, also hot-tempered, stepped forward without yielding.
Just as the two were about to fight, a sudden voice chid in from the side.
“How are the points calculated for this Myriad Laws Pill eting?”
The two turned their heads to see a young man in a purple robe holding a task card, smiling and listening.
Xu Zii looked at the task card in his hand.
It ntioned representing the Demon Sect in the competition and earning points based on performance.
But it did not specify how many points would be awarded.
“Who are you?” the black-robed elder asked.
“Don’t just take the card carelessly.”
“I’m here to participate in the Pill eting,” Xu Zii replied.
“Just wondering how the points are awarded?”
“To represent the Demon Sect, you must pass my test, not just anyone can stand in for it.
To avoid wasting a spot,” the black-robed elder replied.
“If you can make it into the top ten, you get a thousand points.
If you get into the top five, you get ten thousand points.
From the top five onwards, for each place you move up, the points increase tenfold.”
“What if soone becos the first place?” Xu Zii asked.
“First place?” the black-robed elder laughed heartily.
“Young man, don’t set your sights too high. If you’re first, I’ll guarantee you free access to the Edge of the Sky, End of the Sea’s small world for three years.”
“Deal,” Xu Zii nodded in agreent.
“Don’t be in such a hurry, I’ll conduct a unified assessnt this afternoon. It’s not possible to let just one person through,” the black-robed elder said.
Xu Zii nodded, not minding too much.
It was only morning now; there was still quite a bit of ti until the afternoon.
He briefly gave his na to the black-robed elder, and then he left the Great Saint Palace with Miss Jing.
“Do you really plan to participate in that Myriad Laws Pill eting?” Miss Jing asked.
“Why not?” Xu Zii counter-asked.
“It’s just a trivial matter.”
“You probably haven’t refined pills before, don’t think pill refining is too simple,” Miss Jing said.
Moon-picking Fairy nodded in agreent by her side.
“Pill refining is different from cultivation; the higher you go, the more difficult it becos. Even if you’re a Great Emperor, it doesn’t an you can beat those people.”
Xu Zii smiled confidently, ready to take on the challenge.
Among the ten Divine thods he knew, there was one called the Great Mysterious Pill Scripture.
This thod was specifically designed for pill refining.
The pills refined, including the techniques used, were second to none.
This task would not be difficult for him.
“Let’s go check out the venue of the Myriad Laws Pill eting,” Xu Zii said.
The Great Saint Palace is located at the center of Brahma Demon City.
And the Myriad Laws Pill eting is held right next to it in the Central Square.
All alchemists will be concocting pills there, and it is said that judges from the Pill Tower will be invited to preside over the event.
The grandeur of the Pill eting is said to be rarely seen in this world.
Especially for the residents of Brahma Demon City, it is an exceptionally grand occasion.
When Xu Zii and her two companions arrived, they saw the square spanning thousands of square kiloters.
Around the periter, dragon pillars lood faintly.
These are the Pill Dragon Pillars.
Because high-grade pills often show signs between heaven and earth when they are created, and even more so, a divine pill’s ergence may even trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.
Hence, these Pill Dragon Pillars are erected in response to Tribulation.
With Pill Dragons’ protection, the Tribulation will not descend, and the myriad laws will not invade.
However, the Pill Dragon Pillars consu a huge amount of energy, so they are not used except in such grand occasions.
This square is divided into individual spaces marked out with black lines.
At that ti, every alchemist will stay within their own designated space, not allowed to cross the boundary to disturb other alchemists.
………
“What are you doing?” Just as Xu Zii was observing, an angry, light admonishing sound suddenly ca from the side.
Xu Zii turned her head and saw the Moon-picking Fairy looking furiously at a man next to her.
The man wore a gray robe and had a shaven head.
Around his neck hung a string of Buddha Beads made of skulls.
However, his complexion was pale, and his steps seed unsteady, clearly soone weakened by indulgence in alcohol and pleasure.
“What happened?” Xu Zii asked.
“That man just tried to touch the Moon-picking Fairy but she managed to dodge it,” Miss Jing said in a low voice.
“What are you doing?” The bald man retorted.
“Shaless,” scoffed the Moon-picking Fairy coldly, retreating to stand beside Xu Zii.
“Oh dear, you’re calling shaless. If I don’t act a bit shalessly, wouldn’t I be letting you down,” the bald man laughed heartily and lunged at the Moon-picking Fairy again.
His behavior was much like that of a hooligan.
“Handle it as you see fit, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens,” Xu Zii said softly.
The Moon-picking Fairy nodded slightly.
Although she was not as capable as Xu Zii, her own cultivation level was not weak, and she had a certain status on Immortal Brew Island.
Her right hand surged with Immortal Qi, and with a forceful slap, the bald man let out a scream and flew backward, his head crashing into a nearby step, bleeding profusely.
This bald man’s cultivation was rely around Spirit Vein level, aptly described with the words ‘re ant’.
“Rolling at” got beaten up,” soone in the crowd exclaid in surprise.
“Who is it? Soone from out of town, right?”
So people looked sympathetically at the Moon-picking Fairy and advised, “You better leave quickly. Having beaten up ‘Rolling at’, it won’t be easy to settle this.”
“Yes, yes, his father is the abbot of Gold Cicada Temple. You shouldn’t ss with him.”
“Monks can get married now?” Xu Zii asked with a light chuckle.
“You don’t understand, do you? ‘Wine and at pass through the intestines, the Buddha Ancestor stays within the heart,'” soone explained.
“Our Brahma Sect in Brahma Demon City does not care about these things, as long as one’s heart is sincere.
Even monks can marry and have children.”
“No worries, we can handle it,” Xu Zii gestured dismissively.
Soone nearby sighed, “You don’t listen to advice. You’ll take a fall sooner or later.
It’s just a pity for such a beautiful woman.”
Xu Zii looked up and saw the so-called ‘Rolling at’ bald man, already with a bloodied head, unconscious on the ground.
“Let’s go find a place to rest first,” Xu Zii said.
After all, the Myriad Laws Pill eting doesn’t start until tomorrow.
