We Won, and You Want to Go Back on Your Word?
In Half-Spirit Valley,
Zuo Zimu and the elders left the scene temporarily.
"We absolutely cannot lose the next round," Zuo Zimu said firmly.
"Valley Master, that kid is a bit strange. How can we win?" an elder asked.
Zuo Zimu pondered for a moment.
"It seems we have no choice but to use the Nine-Pill Method."
"Nine-Pill Method? Valley Master, isn't this inappropriate?" An elder's expression immediately changed.
"Yes, if he manages to break the Nine-Pill Method, that would be a real boon for that kid."
"Valley Master, please reconsider!"
"..."
Zuo Zimu waved his hand impatiently, signaling everyone to shut up.
"You all keep saying 'think it over, think it over,' fine, then come up with a way to win the next round."
Upon hearing this, the elders could only remain silent.
"If only the Grand Elder were still here."
At this moment, an elder suddenly sighed.
This reminded everyone present of Liu Yunlong.
Although Liu Yunlong was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator
However, his seniority and prestige are exceptionally high.
When problems arise, Liu Yunlong always has a way to solve them.
There's no need for those Golden Core cultivators to think about this.
These Golden Core cultivators only need to take action.
Unfortunately, Liu Yunlong insisted on personally inspecting the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine, which ultimately led to his death.
"Never mind all that, just use the Nine-Pill Method and win this round first."
In the final round, I, the Valley Master, will personally take to the field. I refuse to believe that brat can win.
Time passed little by little,
After discussing their plan Zuo Zimu and the others revealed themselves.
This time, it is the Third Elder of Half-Spirit Valley who is making his appearance.
Upon his arrival, he pulled out nine bottles of pills.
"Each of the nine pill bottles contains one spirit pill," the Third Elder said slowly.
"One of the pills is the Heavenly Firmament Pill, while the remaining eight are poison pills."
"If you can find that Heavenly Firmament Pill, you will win."
In Xunxian Town,
Huo Junrui suddenly spoke up, "Poison again? Could it be fake again?"
"No, it's not fake."
At this moment, Sikong Ying's expression turned serious, and he shook his head.
"This is the Nine-Pill Method of Half-Spirit Valley, which is well-known in the traditional combat circle."
It was indeed eight poison pills, each one highly toxic.
"Eating the wrong thing can cause instant death."
Wang Qianxue immediately asked, "Elder Sikong, could you elaborate?"
Sikong Ying shook her head. "That's all I know."
Wang Qianxue felt helpless.
Without hesitation, Li Yunjing stepped onto the arena.
"Fellow Daoist, there is a time limit to find the Heavenly Firmament Pill: a quarter of an hour."
And once you've made up your mind, you must take the prescribed elixir.
"If you ingest poison, you will die." The Third Elder's expression was serious.
He then looked at the people in Xunxian Town.
"If this fellow Daoist dies then, don't blame me."
The hearts of everyone in Xunxian Town tightened.
But seeing Li Yunjing's calm face brought him some reassurance.
They believed in Li Yunjing.
Mo Xuan, in particular, believed that his senior brother would surely win.
After greeting the Third Elder, Li Yunjing inspected the nine pill bottles one by one.
The elixirs in all nine bottles were exactly the same.
Even the color, size, and even the smell are the same.
To an ordinary person, it would be difficult to distinguish the Heavenly Firmament Pill among the nine elixirs.
However, this was not a problem for Li Yunjing.
It wasn't that Li Yunjing had extensive experience in alchemy.
It was Li Yunjing's Golden Core.
At this moment, in Li Yunjing's sea of consciousness,
The First-Grade Golden Core trembled slightly.
Li Yunjing was very resistant to the elixir in the bottle in front of him.
It seemed to be a reminder to Li Yunjing that this elixir should not be taken.
He picked up another elixir bottle, and the result was the same.
Li Yunjing took eight pill bottles in turn, and they were all the same.
Only one elixir bottle remains.
Originally, Li Yunjing planned to speak directly and tell them that he had found the Heavenly Firmament Pill.
However, Li Yunjing remained cautious.
If the people of Half-Spirit Valley are shameless.
What should I do if all nine bottles are filled with poisonous pills?
Therefore, Li Yunjing picked up the ninth elixir bottle.
Fortunately, although Half-Spirit Valley is shameless, at least this time it wasn't like that.
The Golden Core within the sea of consciousness did not tremble.
This shows that the elixir was harmless to Li Yunjing.
The Third Elder saw that Li Yunjing was holding onto the pill bottle for a long time.
He became nervous.
Even the Third Elder would have difficulty distinguishing between the nine spirit pills.
He also relied on the unique mark left on the elixir bottle.
Only then did they realize that the bottle in Li Yunjing's hand contained the Heavenly Firmament Pill.
"Fellow Daoist, have you made your choice?" the Third Elder asked.
Li Yunjing looked up at the Third Elder: "Not bad, this is the pill bottle; it contains the Heavenly Firmament Pill."
The Third Elder's heart sank. "Fellow Daoist, are you sure? If you choose the wrong one, then..."
Li Yunjing interrupted the man directly.
"OK, this is the bottle."
"Very well, then please take the elixir inside, fellow Daoist." The Third Elder spoke, his expression numb, his eyes vacant.
Half- Half-Spirit Valley Half-Spirit Valley has been defeated, and everything it possesses must be handed over to Immortal Xunxian Town.
What should they do next?
Li Yunjing put the Heavenly Firmament Pill directly into his mouth.
It melts in your mouth.
The Heavenly Firmament Pill transformed into pure energy that flowed into Li Yunjing's limbs and bones.
The Heavenly Firmament Pill is a third-grade spiritual pill with good effects; it can extend a cultivator's lifespan by twenty years.
Li Yunjing took the Heavenly Firmament Pill and unexpectedly gained twenty years of lifespan.
After Li Yunjing took the elixir,
Everyone present held their breath, their eyes fixed on Li Yunjing.
Upon seeing that Li Yunjing had not died from the poison, the expressions on everyone's faces varied.
Zuo Zimu's eyes were sinister, and his face was grim.
He hadn't expected Li Yunjing to be so lucky.
Surprisingly, they found the Heavenly Firmament Pill among the nine pill bottles.
In fact, those eight poison pills were not only exactly the same as the Heavenly Firmament Pill, but also had special functions.
The fragrance released by the eight poison pills contains alluring ingredients.
The moment you smell this fragrance, you'll be irresistibly drawn in.
The fragrance released by the eight poison pills
It's enough to make a cultivator completely lose their bearings.
Half-Spirit Valley previously relied on this Nine-Pill Method,
Invincible.
He won more than ten traditional duels in a row.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled this time with Li Yunjing.
This tragedy directly led to the destruction of Half-Spirit Valley.
On the other hand, in Xunxian Town,
The crowd bowed and worshipped.
Beforehand, no one expected that Li Yunjing would stand out in this battle of wits.
All of them became mere supporting characters.
Sikong Ying shook his head with a bitter smile.
"If I'd known you were this good, why would I have gone up there and embarrassed myself?"
"Now look what's happened. When I get back, my friends will laugh at me, saying that we teamed up to win this battle."
On the arena, Li Yunjing smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Zuo Zimu.
"Valley Master Zuo, you flatter me. I also thank Half-Spirit Valley for the Heavenly Firmament Pill, which has given me twenty years of lifespan."
In this contest, Xunxian Town has won. As agreed, the territory of Half-Spirit Valley will henceforth belong to Xunxian Town.
Valley Master Zuo should move away from Half-Spirit Valley as soon as possible.
Zuo Zimu stared at Li Yunjing, gritting his teeth.
"Who said you won?" Zuo Zimu said.
Li Yunjing was taken aback. "Is Valley Master Zuo going to break the agreement?"
All eyes immediately fell on Zuo Zimu.
Some people are looking forward to it, some are disgusted, and some are just watching the spectacle.
Zuo Zimu's heart sank.
If he really dares to go back on his word, he'll be out of a job.
On the side of righteousness, reputation is very important.
Unlike the demonic path, where they only verbally agree but their actions are uncertain.
"Of course I don't intend to break the agreement," Zuo Zimu said.
"But you didn't win this round..."
"Oh? Why?" Li Yunjing feigned surprise.
Zuo Zimu wanted to find a reason, but found that all the reasons were quite lame.
He stammered, unable to find a suitable reason.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately laughed:
"Valley Master Zuo, if you want to back out, just say so. There's nothing shameful about it."
Anyway, everyone knows about Half-Spirit Valley's shamelessness.
