Ninth In the World

Chapter 589: Remedy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu calmed down immediately, as he knew he had to think of a solution within three seconds.

In less than three seconds and after Di Jiu had understood his mistake, he destroyed all the nomological array flags in a moment. At the same time, he started to condense his Divine Essence Pill. Regardless of whether he had been discovered, he had to first use his last remedy.

He definitely could not be too quick or too slow when it came to condensing his Divine Essence Pill. He also had to have the same speed as his nomological array that was condensing his Divine Essence Pill, which would allow him to produce homogeneous pills.

Fortunately, Di Jiu had set up the nomological array and integrated the Alchemy Dao laws into it.

There would not be any problems if he used this method to condense elixir pills. The nomological array that condensed the elixir pills made Di Jiu feel very moved. He now had to maintain the speed of the elixir pill condensation. Regardless of whether anyone was watching him, he had to maintain the speed of the nomological array elixir pill condensation he had set earlier.

...

“I suspect that this person is using the array disc to condense the Divine Essence Pill.” The Eternal Court Sacred Dao City’s Deputy City Lord Wan Hexue immediately stood up and spoke loudly.

Even though they knew this was very unlikely, nobody stood up to retort.

This was not very possible, because if the array disc wanted to condense the Divine Essence Pill, it would have to integrate the alchemist’s Alchemy Dao laws into the array disc. Even if it could integrate it, it could not search for such an Array Master. Besides, it was hard to integrate the alchemist’s Alchemy Dao laws into the array disc.

Not only did this Array Master need to be proficient in the Array Dao, but he also needed to be a founder of the Alchemy Dao.

He had to be a founder of the Alchemy Dao, and not an Alchemy Master. An Alchemy Master only inherited and learned the Senior Alchemy Masters’ Alchemy Dao. They did not establish their own Alchemy Dao and could not have their own Alchemy Dao laws. However, if this Alchemy Master had already become a true Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, then he could form his own Alchemy Dao laws.

Which Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint would attend this elixir competition? Probably nobody could even invite any of them to do so. As for whether the Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint would give his refined array disc to someone else to compete, that was even more impossible. Who would integrate his Alchemy Dao laws into the array disc and give it to someone else?

The reason that nobody had retorted was that, as a matter of fact, Wan Hexue had said what everyone wanted to say. The first person who did say this out loud would be offending. Since Wan Hexue and An Tuning had conflicting views, he was the most suitable person to say so.

If this had been another sect and Wan Hexue had said this, he might have caused a fight right away. This was not casually talked about, as not only would it smear the sect’s reputation, but it would also cause the sect’s status to take a dive.

Unfortunately, Di Jiu was the only contestant from the First Evolution Dao Sect and an outer sect disciple.

An Tuning, who had sent Di Jiu to compete, had disappeared long ago.

Many cultivators sighed. The representative Alchemy Master the First Evolution Dao Sect had sent to compete was pitiful. Now that Wan Hexue had said that, if the First Evolution Dao Sect’s Elder stepped forward to retort, a wrangle or a fight would ensue. However, this was not related to Di Jiu.

Once Wan Hexue said this, nobody from the First Evolution Dao Sect stepped forward to retort. Next, the image of this Alchemy Master would spread without any luck.

As expected, a simple-minded voice came from above the square very soon. “During the Dao World Elixir River Competition, someone reported that the only competing Alchemy Master of the First Evolution Dao Sect, Di Jiu, cheated. The person in charge of the First Evolution Dao Sect did not step forward to explain this. To show that the Dao World Elixir River Competition is fair and square, the Elixir River Competition Alliance has decided to transfer the image of this Alchemy Master condensing the Divine Essence Pill so that everyone watching the competition can judge.”

A grumbling discussion broke out among the crowd. Even though Di Jiu’s way of producing elixir pills through condensation was somewhat strange, this was not a piece of evidence for cheating. No such thing had occurred in the Elixir River Competition in all these years.

This was also because the person in charge of the First Evolution Dao Sect was not present. Otherwise, this matter would have blown up long ago.

A blank array formation screen had appeared before everyone and, very soon, the lingering Elixir River was projected on it.

Numerous Alchemy Masters were trying their best to condense the Divine Essence Pills in the Elixir River. The image of them in the array formation screen was very fuzzy.

However, the array formation screen showed the Elixir River shrinking and then focused on a long-haired young man who was dressed ordinarily.

Not only did this young man have long hair, but he also had a full beard. At the moment, he was about to concentrate completely on condensing the Divine Essence Pill. His gestures seemed to be fixed, and his moves remained the same. His alchemy techniques seemed different from the techniques of an ordinary Alchemy Master, who would produce a pile of Divine Essence Pills after some time. However, he continuously sent the Divine Essence Pills into his ring that would not suddenly increase or decrease.

“There’s actually this kind of inflexible Alchemy Art? This is the first time I see it,” said a member of the crowd.

Di Jiu’s alchemy technique was inflexible indeed, but nobody could deny that it was the most suitable for this situation.

“Ha ha...” Loud laughter was heard again. “It’s no wonder that someone thought that this fellow was using the array disc for alchemy. If I had not seen this alchemy technique, I might also have thought that this fellow was using the array disc to refine the Divine Essence Pills.”

“Who would be so impressive as to have an array disc that can automatically condense Divine Essence Pills? That array disc probably will be comparable to a connate treasure soon.”

“Deputy City Lord Wan, you really have good eyesight. You can actually tell that this person is using the array disc to refine pills without taking a look. Ha ha...”

Even though An Tuning was not present, there were still a few friends around. Now that it had been confirmed that Di Jiu was not using the array disc to refine pills, someone immediately mocked Wan Hexue.

Wan Hexue’s expression turned very ugly. He had not expected an Alchemy Master like Di Jiu to do this. This method of refining pills was effective, but wasn’t he exhausted after doing this?

A woman in blue clothes among the crowd looked at Di Jiu, who had lowered his head to refine pills. She frowned and mumbled to herself, “How come this person looks somewhat familiar?”

“Sister Lan Ru, these people are really boring. These are merely some Divine Essence Pills, yet they are scheming against each other. This is simply disgraceful...” said a short young lady in red clothes beside the woman in blue.

The woman called Lan Ru snorted. “Don’t spout nonsense if you know nothing. Who has as many top-notch cultivating resources as you? Even a low-grade divine crystal would be the best cultivating resource for an Itinerant Cultivator, let alone the Divine Essence Pill. Don’t take things for granted and mock others.”

The young lady in red made a silly face. “I got it, Sister Lan Ru. Let’s hurry up and leave. This elixir competition is not worth watching.”

Lan Ru, who felt that Di Jiu’s image was somewhat familiar, did not think any further. She only nodded her head and said, “Let’s go. We have delayed leaving for a long time. We cannot stay here any longer indeed.”

...

Di Jiu, who had always maintained a constant speed while refining the pills, felt a constraint deep down all of a sudden. Since he was too sensitive to the surrounding Heaven Earth Law, he understood what was going on.

He had been monitored by the Surveillance Array just as he had expected. The technique he used constantly to refine pills had been discovered.

Di Jiu had initially wanted to stop using this method of refining pills after refining for one or two days. However, now that there was a Surveillance Array, he had decided to keep using this method until the end.

His only worry was that he did not know whether he had been monitored before he’d put away his nomological array flags. Theoretically, he should not have been monitored before. Otherwise, the Surveillance Array would not have appeared all of a sudden now.

Fortunately, only a few days were left until the end of the elixir competition. Although this method of refining pills was exhausting, he could still hold on.

...

An Tuning was not in a very good mood. She had been tricked by someone in the sect, and the sect’s resources would soon be distributed once again. This time, her Spring Evolution Valley was forced to suffer in silence and they would not get out for a very long time.

She could not let this matter rest. The Second Elder and Third Elder were helping Rain Evolution Peak Wang Teng. The Eldest Elder’s attitude was very fuzzy, so they had to find the Sect Master and let him know, regardless of whether he was in seclusion. Even though the Dao World Elixir Competition was a huge deal, Wang Teng had dared to obstruct them. The First Evolution Dao Sect would definitely decline in the future.

Just as An Tuning was about to find the Sect Master, her communication pearl suddenly transmitted a message.

Upon seeing this message, An Tuning was stunned. The First Evolution Dao Sect had entered the first 100 and the Alchemy Master competing for their sect was 46th...
