Conference Begins, Pill Competition, Third Grade Exotic Fire!

It wasn't until midnight that Wan'er, exhausted, fell into a deep sleep in Ye Xuan's arms.

Even in her sleep, a sweet, happy smile played on her lips.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, felt refreshed. Within his dantian, a heavenly lightning pattern pierced through his Spirit Sea. Only now was his Nine Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Body truly activated!

When all nine lightning patterns appear, that will be the true Nine Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Immortal Body!

Huh!?

However, Ye Xuan suddenly noticed that there was a faint azure Emperor's aura entwined around the lightning pattern within his dantian.

This hadn't been there before.

"No, this is... the power of Longevity!"

Ye Xuan was immediately shocked.

Because this azure Emperor's aura was undoubtedly the power of Longevity Emperor's Blood!

"Hahaha, that's right!"

The small tower's voice echoed in Ye Xuan's mind.

"This is the wonder of having you engage in dual cultivation with the Imperial Daughters!"

"Although the Nine Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Body is an Immortal Body, it is too heaven-defying and not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, you must use the power of Emperor's blood to fuse with the nine lightning bolts to contend against the Heavenly Dao!"

"This is just the bloodline power of the Longevity Great Emperor; you will become stronger and stronger later!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

So, the marriage arranged for him by his father wasn't for the sake of the Imperial Clan, but for his own sake!

In this way, when his Nine Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Body was completely developed, he would definitely be able to prove the Dao and become an Emperor!

"Moreover, it's not like the women who have engaged in dual cultivation with you don't benefit."

"What Wan'er received is no longer just the drop of blood she offered before, but Emperor's blood with a trace of immortal charm!" the small tower added.

"That's for the best!"

Ye Xuan nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

Otherwise, he would have felt like he was treating Wan'er as a Cauldron.

Afterward, Ye Xuan also discovered that after successfully engaging in dual cultivation with Wan'er, the flow of time within the small tower had increased from two times to ten times!

This was exactly what Ye Xuan needed most right now.

However, Ye Xuan's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Spirit Sea. He no longer needed to cultivate and could trigger the Heavenly Tribulation to advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm at any time.

Therefore, tonight, he belonged only to Wan'er!

Immediately, Ye Xuan tightened his embrace around the beauty in his arms and drifted into dreamland, inhaling Wan'er's fragrance.

The next morning, when Ye Xuan opened his eyes, he saw a radiant Wan'er propping her chin up and looking at him.

"Ah, Brother Ye Xuan, you, you're awake..."

Startled by being caught staring, Chu Wan'er exclaimed and blushed.

"Still calling me brother?"

Ye Xuan smiled dotingly and playfully pinched her nose, asking.

"Hu, Husband!"

Chu Wan'er was extremely shy, but she called out sweetly and threw herself onto Ye Xuan.

She had been fantasizing about calling him "Husband" ever since she was in the Outer Heavens, and today, it had finally come true.

She had finally become Brother Ye Xuan's wife.

"Ye Xuan, Wan'er, are you up yet?"

Just as Ye Xuan was preparing to properly tease Chu Wan'er, Su Ziyun's voice suddenly rang out outside the room.

"We're up, we're up!"

Hearing this, Chu Wan'er quickly struggled out of Ye Xuan's arms and helped her husband put on his clothes.

Ye Xuan smiled wryly, having forgotten that today was the Sect Assembly.

Soon, the two of them pushed open the door and walked out.

"Ahem, well, I didn't mean to disturb you lovebirds."

Su Ziyun cleared her throat twice, then said seriously, "Two major events happened last night!"

"Oh!? Major events?" Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er exchanged a look and smiled, "What major events?"

"A genius from Cloud Palace Academy has descended upon Tianxuan City to personally preside over this Sect Assembly!" Su Ziyun nodded.

"Cloud Palace Academy!? Who is it!" Chu Wan'er was stunned upon hearing this. The first person she thought of was Ji Xueyao!

She didn't expect Ji Xueyao to arrive so quickly!

"Xuan Clan, Xuan Zhou!" Su Ziyun spoke a name that Chu Wan'er found unfamiliar.

Xuan Clan!?

Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback when he heard this name.

Could it be such a coincidence!?

He had indeed heard from Nangong Fei about a Xuan Clan prodigy cultivating within Cloud Palace Academy.

Could this be the one!?

"That's right, the Xuan Clan is the Imperial Dynasty's premier clan. They are hosting this Sect Assembly and even temporarily changed the rules."

"Before the martial competition of the Sect Assembly, they added Pill and Weapon competitions. Disciples from the Four Regions' Sects can participate. The winner won't affect the Sect rankings, but they will receive substantial Pill and weapon support from Cloud Palace Academy!" Su Ziyun added.

She didn't care about the Weapon Dao, but she knew how astonishing Ye Xuan's Pill Dao was, enough to contend for the top spot!

At that time, the Violet Firmament Sect would no longer lack Pills!

"Pill and Weapon competitions?"

Ye Xuan was stunned upon hearing this, thinking that this was specifically sending rewards to the Violet Firmament Sect!

This Xuan Zhou is such a good person!

"And there's also..."

Su Ziyun pursed her lips and said seriously, "Last night, Liu Yunxi underwent tribulation and advanced to the Heavenly Gang Realm!"

Thus, the Azure Mist Sect, like the Lin Tian Sword Sect, now had two Heavenly Gang cultivators!

"Oh!"

"So?"

But Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er didn't react at all.

This wasn't a big deal at all.

So what if Liu Yunxi advanced to the Heavenly Gang? She would still become a stepping stone!

"Let's go participate in the Pill competition first!"

Ye Xuan didn't want to wait any longer. Before the martial competition of the assembly, he would first take the so-called top spots in the Weapon and Pill Daos!

Tianxuan City Pill Assembly.

Both the Pill and Weapon Assemblies were established by the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty. Tianxuan City had one of each.

In the Pill Assembly, Pill Masters dispatched from Cloud Palace Academy were stationed, responsible for certifying Pill Master ranks.

Almost all Heavenly Gang Pills came from them, making them extremely difficult to obtain.

Today, before the martial competition began, cultivators from various Sects gathered in front of the two Assemblies' pavilions.

Winning the top spot in the Pill and Weapon competitions would not only bring supreme glory to the Sect but also earn resource support from Cloud Palace Academy.

This was something no Sect could afford to give up.

Especially the Lin Tian Sword Sect, the number one Sect in the Four Regions!

At this moment, the Lin Tian Sword Sect's First Saintess, Wen Yuyan, stood gracefully at the forefront of the prodigies, her expression cold and aloof.

She was born with a First-Grade Exotic Fire, and the Wen family was a renowned family in the Pill Dao. Therefore, she was determined to win the top spot in this Pill competition, and she had to win it!

In the Barren Continent, whether in the Weapon Dao, Pill Dao, or Martial Dao, the Lin Tian Sword Sect could only be number one!

"Master, bet all our spirit stones on me."

At this moment, among the Azure Mist Sect cultivators, Liu Yunxi suddenly smiled coldly.

"Yunxi, you, want to compete for the top spot!?"

The Azure Mist Sect Master and Xiao Chengfeng were both stunned.

Everyone knew that Wen Yuyan was determined to win the top spot in this Pill competition!

"Just trust me!"

But Liu Yunxi was extremely confident. Immediately, she took out all her spirit stones and placed a bet at the side's betting table.

At every Sect Assembly, Tianxuan City's chambers of commerce would open betting tables to make a profit.

This time, they even opened three betting tables, preparing to make a big profit.

And Wen Yuyan was naturally the hot favorite to win the Pill competition.

After placing her bet, Liu Yunxi confidently entered the Pill Assembly with the other Sect prodigies.

"You're waiting for someone!?"

In the crowd, Nangong Fei looked at Lin Churan, who was looking around, and asked.

"Yes, waiting for Ye Xuan."

Lin Churan nodded.

"Ye Xuan?"

Nangong Fei frowned and said, "I have heard about your Hundred Herbs Pill House, but don't tell me those Pills were refined by him."

The Hundred Herbs Pill House was selling high-grade Essence Nurturing Pills at the time, which ordinary Pill Masters could never refine.

"Is Miss Lin waiting for me?"

Before Lin Churan could answer, Ye Xuan's voice came from behind.

Lin Churan turned around abruptly and saw Ye Xuan walking hand-in-hand with Chu Wan'er.

"Ah, Sister Wan'er!"

Lin Churan was overjoyed and rushed over.

Chu Wan'er also stepped forward and hugged her.

Since Wan'er went into seclusion, she hadn't seen Lin Churan. As best friends, they were naturally happy.

"I knew you would come!"

After the two girls talked for a while, Lin Churan looked at Ye Xuan.

"Naturally!"

Ye Xuan nodded, then smiled and said, "Miss Lin, you've bet all your chips on me!"

"And Miss Nangong, I guarantee you'll get rich!"

Ye Xuan smiled and walked towards the Pill Gathering.

"What's going on?!"

Nangong Fei was stunned and looked at Lin Churan.

The latter smiled mysteriously, then whispered a few words in her ear.

Nangong Fei's eyes widened!

High-grade Essence Nurturing Pill, Tier 2 Exotic Fire, and Xuan Ye from the ancient secret realm is Ye Xuan!?

The series of shocks left Nangong Fei stunned for a while.

"Then what are we waiting for? This lady is going to be the richest woman in the Four Regions today!"

Inside the Pill Gathering.

Ye Xuan was the last disciple to enter the Pill Competition. In the main hall, the Pill Gathering manager recorded Ye Xuan's identity and gave him a badge.

"Room Xuan-1. What kind of Pill do you want to refine? The medicinal materials will be sent to you later." The manager asked without looking up.

"No need."

"Besides, the materials I need aren't available at the Pill Gathering."

Ye Xuan chuckled and went to the corresponding Pill room with the badge.

"Wait..."

At this moment, the manager finally looked up, frowned at Ye Xuan's back.

"A Body Tempering Realm cultivator, what's he acting arrogant for?"

If it weren't for the regulations from above, he would have kicked him out long ago.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Pill Gathering.

Mu Bai, the white-haired president of the Pill Gathering, and a group of Pill Dao Grandmasters from the Pill Gathering were marveling at the light screens in front of them.

"Seriously, this girl from the Lin Tian Sword Sect is really good at Pill Dao!"

"Yes, Tier 1 Exotic Fire, skilled technique, a good seedling!"

The Grandmasters looked at Wen Yuyan in Pill Room Heaven-1 and praised her.

"Wait!"

"This is, Tier 2 Exotic Fire!?"

At this moment, a Pill Master suddenly exclaimed. Everyone looked over and found that in Pill Room Earth-1, someone had sacrificed two layers of flames!

Tier 2 Exotic Fire had never appeared in the Barren Continent Sects before!

"Liu Yunxi, Saintess of the Azure Mist Sect!"

A Pill Master found the roster and checked Liu Yunxi's information.

"In that case, it's really uncertain who will win the championship in this Pill Competition!"

The crowd exchanged glances, not expecting the Pill Competition to have suspense!

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Mu Bai, the president of the Pill Gathering, who had not opened his eyes, suddenly opened them. The aura of the peak of the Myriad Manifestation Realm erupted in the room.

The Pill Masters were all astonished and looked at Mu Bai, who had stood up with eyes like copper bells, puzzled.

What's wrong with the president?

Why didn't he get this excited when the Second Grade Exotic Fire first appeared?

"Bring up the formation screen of Alchemist Xuan No. 1, quickly!"

Xuan No. 1!?

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. The rooms were arranged according to the status of the Sect disciples. What was there to see in Xuan No. 1?

Despite their doubts, they still displayed the alchemist's screen on the formation.

Hiss!

But the moment the alchemists saw the flames burning in the picture, they were all dumbfounded!

The room was as silent as a secluded valley; one could hear a pin drop!

"Third Grade Exotic Fire!"

"Hahaha, a monstrous talent with a Third Grade Exotic Fire has appeared in our Barren Continent's Four Regions!"

After a long while, the president Mu Bai finally went mad and roared suddenly!
