"I..." Dan Qingyun began, feeling as though countless words were flooding his heart, yet when they reached his lips, he had no idea where to begin.
He had always believed that pill tribulations existed to destroy pills.
Now it was as though everything he knew had been shattered. Someone had told him that pill tribulations were meant to baptize pills, and his thoughts were tangled like a ball of hemp.
Watching Xu Zimo's departing back, Dan Qingyun only felt that figure was incomparably towering.
It was as though the setting sun shone down, stretching his shadow long, long into the distance.
"Judges, aren't you going to announce the verdict?" Xu Zimo looked at the Pill Saint Elder and asked.
"Ah... oh, right." The Pill Saint Elder instantly came back to his senses and hurried forward.
Old Ghost Chan and Elder Qiancha followed close behind.
The people from the Zen Demon Sects all gathered around.
The Pill Saint Elder examined them carefully. The others had merely refined eighth-grade pills, so he passed over them directly.
He looked at Dan Qingyun's pill, then said, "A ninth-grade peak pill—the Nine Ghost Soul Devouring Pill."
Then he came before Xu Zimo. He wanted to reach out and take that pill, but the pill possessed a force of resistance.
It directly shut out his palm.
Xu Zimo flicked his finger lightly, placing the pill in the Pill Saint Elder's hand.
The Pill Saint Elder carefully held the pill before his eyes and began inspecting it in detail.
"Pill Saint Elder, you'd better identify it properly. Is it a Half-step Emperor Pill, or merely a ninth-grade pill?" Old Ghost Chan said from the side.
"This old man has judged pills for many years and has never made a single mistake," the Pill Saint Elder replied calmly.
