"How is this possible?!"
"Could it really be the Alchemy Tribulation? I’ve heard that only when a seventh-tier pill is being refined can an Alchemy Tribulation be triggered!"
"Not necessarily, even a sixth-tier pill could..."
"Are you saying that the pill Mo Wangchen is refining right now is a sixth-tier pill? And for it to trigger an Alchemy Tribulation of this sort, it must at least reach the Absolute Grade, which is even more difficult to refine than Top Grade!"
The audience surrounding them was already in an uproar, like ants on a hot pan, with voices chattering and discussing the situation.
"Impossible! Impossible! How can he trigger an Alchemy Tribulation?!"
In the crowd, Luo Yuntian’s eyes widened, his fists clenched tightly. He couldn’t believe that Mo Wangchen was able to trigger an Alchemy Tribulation.
Doesn’t this mean that the pill his opponent was refining had at least reached the sixth-tier Absolute Grade?
This level of pill could only be confidently refined by a seventh-tier alchemist, right?
Even if a sixth-tier alchemist wanted to refine a sixth-tier Absolute Grade Pill, the success rate would be less than ten percent. Mo Wangchen was merely a third-tier Inheritance Disciple. Even if he had the ability to refine fifth-tier pills, there was still a qualitative gap between fifth and sixth-tier pills!
Most importantly, Mo Wangchen had triggered an Alchemy Tribulation, which undoubtedly indicated that this was at least a sixth-tier Absolute Grade Pill!
Did Mo Wangchen possess the skill of a sixth-tier alchemist?!
How could that be possible?!
Luo Yuntian refused to believe it. He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his flesh, drawing blood.
Originally, he had the highest chance of claiming first place in this competition!
But now, because of Mo Wangchen’s unexpected appearance, the glory that was supposed to be his was forcibly snatched away!
Undoubtedly, if Mo Wangchen successfully refined the pill, the first place in this competition would belong to Mo Wangchen, having nothing to do with Luo Yuntian!
As everyone in the arena was in shock, the elders of the Pill Sect scattered around the platform, surrounding it completely, as if preparing to protect Mo Wangchen, preventing anyone from approaching.
"No one is allowed to get near the platform!"
Lin Xuantian’s voice rang out, and then he leaped to the front of the platform. The appearance of the Alchemy Tribulation meant that Mo Wangchen could not be disturbed by anyone.
In the sky, as countless lightning intertwined, the pill furnace in front of Mo Wangchen began to tremble uneasily.
His face turned slightly pale, clearly not expecting to have such luck — achieving the Absolute Grade the first time he tried refining the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill!
In the sky, as the hair-raising aura intensified to the extreme, a deafening thunderclap echoed. Instantly, the lightning fused together, resembling a world-ending Thunder Dragon, roaring impressively as it descended upon Mo Wangchen!
Mo Wangchen’s body tensed. He knew that the Heavenly Tribulation was not targeting him but rather the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill in the pill furnace!
However, at that moment, he used his perception to firmly envelop the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill. Facing the descending Heavenly Tribulation, Mo Wangchen felt as though he was about to be devoured.
The Nine Aperture Spirit Pill autonomously flew out of the pill furnace, seemingly wanting to accept the baptism of the Alchemy Tribulation.
When the Alchemy Tribulation fully descended, Mo Wangchen’s perception seemed to suffer heavy damage, a sense of dizziness flooding his mind, nearly causing him to faint.
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Under his formidable perception, the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill withstood the baptism of the lightning perfectly intact.
In the sky, the rolling thunderclouds quickly gathered and disappeared in the blink of an eye, restoring the square to its usual brightness.
However at that moment, everyone remained silent, their eyes fixed intently on Mo Wangchen on the platform, their gazes burning with intensity.
"After the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, the pill remains intact, its refinement was successful!"
"I guarantee that, within a century, the Pill Sect will definitely produce a second seventh-tier alchemist!"
"This Mo Wangchen, who would have thought he had such Alchemy Dao skill? No wonder he exuded such confidence when questioned by Fang Tianzhou earlier. With the pill he refined, his skill is already comparable to those of the elders of the three major powers!"
Now, as everyone looked at Mo Wangchen, admiration filled their eyes.
A sixth-tier alchemist is a formidable presence anywhere in the Ten Directions Domain. Such figures, aside from the sect leaders of the three major powers, almost stand at the pinnacle of the power pyramid of the Ten Directions Domain!
"I’m very curious, what sort of pill is that exactly?"
"To trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, it surely isn’t simple!"
Mo Wangchen held the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill in his hand. After the Heavenly Tribulation receded, he let out a long sigh of relief, a smile playing on his face.
With this Nine Aperture Spirit Pill, his perception would undoubtedly reach the sixth-tier level!
Under the gaze of everyone, he stepped down from the platform and approached Lin Xuantian, handing over the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill, "This is the pill I refined this time. I hope Sect Master will inspect it and take it for appraisal."
Receiving the pill, still emitting a trace of warmth, clearly fresh from the furnace, Lin Xuantian’s eyes also shone with heat. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Mo Wangchen and spoke a sentence that stunned everyone.
"Would you be willing to become the Pill Sect Saint Heir?"
Though spoken softly, the words clearly reached everyone’s ears. After a moment of silence, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.
"Saint Heir?! The Pill King senior actually wants to promote Mo Wangchen exceptionally to become the Pill Sect Saint Heir?!"
A collective gasp arose, and everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief, tinged with deep envy.
Becoming a Saint Heir meant that Mo Wangchen would also have the opportunity to become the next Pill Sect Master!
In fact, each sect could establish several Saint Heirs and Saintesses, representing candidates for the next sect leader!
Hearing Lin Xuantian’s words, Mo Wangchen’s heart trembled, a desire surfacing within him.
Without hesitation, he stepped back and bowed deeply to Lin Xuantian.
Becoming the Pill Sect Saint Heir, Mo Wangchen naturally understood what it represented. With this status, perhaps rescuing his father and others from the Yun Country Royal Family’s grasp would no longer be impossible!
