Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

168: Chapter 167: The Realm of the Redemption”After all, there are many powerful Rank 8 magical beasts within the Pill World. If you encounter danger, just crush the jade token, and you will be immediately transported out of the Pill World.”

”However, once the jade token is crushed, it means you have lost your qualification for the competition and have automatically forfeited.”

”Secondly, all your spatial rings will be covered with a layer of spatial power. You can only use the spatial rings issued by the Pill Tower. The time limit for searching for medicinal ingredients is one month.”

”If you fail to collect all the medicinal ingredients required for the pill recipe within one month, you will be considered eliminated.”

”Now, the Pill Gathering officially begins. Contestants, please enter the Pill World to search for medicinal ingredients.”

Xuan Kongzi looked at the contestants below and waved his hand.

In an instant, a massive blue vortex appeared above the square of the Pill Tower.

All the contestants did not hesitate, unfolding their figures and turning into streaks of light as they flew up, entering the Pill World one after another to begin facing the first challenge of this Pill Gathering.

All the contestants, like streaks of light, flew into the massive blue vortex without hesitation.

Inside the vortex, light swirled, filled with violent and chaotic spatial power.

Being inside it, everyone felt as if their bodies were being pulled by countless invisible hands, and the surrounding space twisted and shifted, as if it were about to tear them apart.

Fortunately, they were all extraordinary Dou Zong. Relying on their own vigorous Dou Qi, they barely resisted this powerful force and entered the Pill World.

The Pill World is a small world opened up by a Dou Sheng expert who expended great effort.

Its original purpose was mainly to cultivate rare medicinal ingredients and raise high-level magical beasts.

But as time slowly passed and the years went by, the Pill World gradually evolved into an excellent trial ground.

In this small world, high-level medicinal ingredients are scattered everywhere like stars, incredibly rare, and at the same time, there are many Rank 8 magical beasts.

For practitioners at the Dou Zong level, this is undoubtedly a dangerous place full of immense challenges.

After all, the more powerful and precious the medicinal ingredient, the more ferocious and formidable the magical beast guarding it.

And if one wants to refine high-level pills, these high-level medicinal ingredients are indispensable; thus, fierce confrontations between practitioners and magical beasts are inevitable.

This is precisely why the Pill World was set as the first round of the Pill Gathering.

After all, if one cannot even gather the ingredients needed to refine pills, how can one talk about alchemy?

”I wonder who will come out first.”

Xuan Kongzi stared intently at the spatial gate leading to the Pill World, his expression calm as he spoke indifferently.

In his heart, if Chen Yang participated, perhaps with his terrifying strength, he would be able to return from the Pill World loaded with treasures very quickly.

However, the ones entering the Pill World now are a group of Dou Zong practitioners; who will be able to finish collecting medicinal ingredients first is truly unpredictable.

”Senior Xuan Kongzi, I feel that Miss Cao Ying will definitely be the first to come out.”

Hearing Xuan Kongzi’s voice, the corners of Chen Yang’s mouth curled up slightly, a touch of confident smile slowly emerging, as he spoke unhurriedly.

Although he did not step into the Pill World, he had already carefully left a contingency plan inside long ago.

”Haha, Chen Yang, you have so much confidence in Ying’er.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Xuan Kongzi couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

In his view, although Cao Ying has outstanding talent, strong strength, and possesses the cultivation of a Peak Dou Zong, it is not necessarily certain that she will be the first to come out of the Pill World.

After all, there are several experienced old monsters in this trip to the Pill World, all of whom are members from the previous Pill Gathering.

They have already had personal experience with the Pill World and are extremely familiar with the environment, distribution of medicinal ingredients, and the habits of magical beasts here, so they will naturally be relatively much smoother when collecting medicinal ingredients.

Although Cao Ying is strong, luck also plays a crucial role in finding medicinal ingredients.

Therefore, it can only be said that Cao Ying has a chance to finish first, but it is not absolute.

The Pill World.

”Is this the Pill World?”

Like a bolt of black lightning, Cao Ying rushed out from the spatial entrance and, in the blink of an eye, arrived at a desolate and lonely place.

Looking around, what lay before her was an endless desert, with yellow sand filling the sky and the scorching sun mercilessly baking the earth; one could hardly find the shadow of even a single tree.

A trace of doubt and worry couldn’t help but rise in Cao Ying’s heart; how could there be the medicinal ingredients she needed in such a desolate place?

Just then, the words Chen Yang had said to her a few days ago suddenly appeared in Cao Ying’s mind: ”The entrance to the Pill World is uncertain and will randomly transport people to some place in the Pill World. However, you don’t need to panic. I have already made arrangements inside. Just wait quietly in place for a few days, and someone will come to pick you up.”

Looking at the desolate land before her, although Chen Yang had urged her not to leave, after hesitating for a moment, Cao Ying still decided to fly forward, attempting to find an oasis of life.

In her view, only in such a place would it be possible to find precious medicinal ingredients.

Cao Ying unfolded her figure, turning into a streak of light, and flew rapidly over the desert.

After flying for a period of time, a trace of surprise finally flashed in her eyes.

In the distance, undulating mountain ranges came into view. Seeing this, Cao Ying immediately increased her flight speed and flew towards the mountains impatiently.

A moment later, Cao Ying slowly landed on the edge of the mountain range.

Looking at the massive trees before her and feeling the abundant and rich Dou Qi surrounding her, she immediately felt a sense of relief.

Everything here formed a sharp contrast with the desert from before.

Cao Ying took a deep breath to calm her excited mood, then stepped into the jungle and began to carefully search for the medicinal ingredients needed for refining the pills this time.

She still intended to refine the five elements profound mysterious pill. After all, she had already successfully refined this pill once, and refining it again, she would surely be more confident.

In her heart, this pill with Five-Color Pill Lightning was enough to allow her to secure second place in this Pill Gathering.

As for who the first place would be, in Cao Ying’s view, who else could it be but Chen Yang?

After all, it was under Chen Yang’s careful guidance that she was able to refine an Rank 8 five-color pill.

In her perception, Chen Yang’s alchemy skills had likely long broken through the boundaries of Rank 8, ascending to Rank 9 or even a higher realm.

”Sigh, this Pill World is too big, when will I ever find them.” Cao Ying flew at a low altitude in the jungle while looking around, her eyes full of anxiety and expectation.

She longed to find the medicinal ingredients for refining pills as soon as possible, but the Pill World was vast and boundless, like a vast ocean. Although she knew the habits of the medicinal ingredients like the back of her hand, wanting to find them in such a huge space undoubtedly required a lot of time and energy.

At this moment, Cao Ying suddenly remembered the second condition that Master Xuan Kongzi mentioned when entering the Pill World.

The time for searching for medicinal ingredients was limited to one month, and if one month had passed and the required medicinal ingredients were still not found, one would also be judged as a failure.

Thinking of this, a sense of urgency couldn’t help but well up in Cao Ying’s heart. She knew deeply that time was tight and she must race against time; otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.
