Tao Wen, unnoticed, sneaked glances at Luo Chen several times.
She felt quite emotional inside.
The idea of the family head competition came to her mind today after noticing the recent changes in Tao Yisheng, and learning that his pill refinement technique had significantly improved.
But with that,
She hides another thought.
That is to simply test Luo Chen’s abilities!
Concerning Luo Chen’s proficiency in pill refinement, she only heard some flattering words from her younger brothers and Dan Taijun.
Although she later gathered information on him and found out that Luo Chen also had the alias of Dan Chenzi,
She still had some doubts in her heart.
The struggle for the seed cultivator position is already an incredibly difficult task.
She cannot afford to fall at the second round!
If Luo Chen’s reputation doesn’t match his skill, she wouldn’t mind changing the general at the last moment and replace him with a weaker second order pill refiner than Huang Hezi.
However,
In this internal Tao family pill refinement competition, Luo Chen had already demonstrated foresight at the level of a Pill Refinement Grandmaster!
At a time when everyone thought that Tao Yisheng would succeed,
He predicted in advance that the other party would fail!
"Even us, who come from the Pill Refinement Great Sect and have been immersed since childhood, cannot judge."
"But he said it all in one sentence."
"Behind excellent foresight is unparalleled self-confidence in pill refinement!"
"In this case, no matter whether Yi Sheng succeeds or not, my purpose has already been achieved!"
These thoughts flashed through her mind.
The expression on the woman’s face became even more composed.
This scene caught the eyes of Tao Daonan sitting opposite her, and his mood unconsciously turned anxious.
"At this rate, Yichen will lose sooner or later!"
...
The Tao Family’s internal pill refining competition continued.
After the first failure, the second failure came quickly.
After a brief rest, under Tao Wen’s persistence, the competition resumed.
One day!
Two days!
Although ample time to rest was provided in the meantime, these high-status family cultivators were not used to refining pills for such a long time.
Tao Yichen, looking at another failure, was dispirited with his heart crushed.
Only Tao Yisheng, although his face turned pale from excessive use of spirit power and spirit consciousness, his eyes were full of energy and even brighter.
Tao Wen, who had been closely following the progress, her ears suddenly twitched.
She subconsciously looked at Luo Chen.
She saw him slightly nodding at her in an almost imperceptible manner.
In an instant, her eyes lit up.
This time, Tao Yisheng would succeed unless something unexpected happens!
It seemed that the continuous failures and the stagnant atmosphere made Tao Daonan unable to endure any longer.
This deadlock was clearly a challenge to his authority.
"Enough!"
"This farce doesn’t need to go on any longer!"
Tao Wen looked at him coldly, "Why can’t it go on before the winner is decided? Besides, farce? Does the Clan Chief think that the Tao Family selecting a Family Head is a farce?"
Tao Daonan’s face darkened, "Tao Wen, you don’t have to provoke me with your words. Isn’t the reason you set up this act just to consolidate the clan’s power, and vie for the seed cultivator’s position?"
"So, what if it is!"
Tao Wen raised her eyebrows defiantly.
Tao Daonan was taken aback.
He didn’t expect her to admit it so openly and righteously.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to play his cards against her.
Suddenly!
His gaze shifted towards Tao Yisheng, who was refining a pill.
"I am the Clan Chief, and I inherently have the power to appoint the family head. This farce should end!"
As he spoke, a surge of overwhelming spirit Qi fluctuation instantly erupted.
At the same time.
A powerful spirit Qi fluctuation also burst forth from Tao Wen.
The two collided instantly and were locked in a stalemate for a moment.
This was a pure contest of foundations, devoid of any combat maneuvers or sophisticated techniques.
All that mattered was who had higher realm, whose Qi was more pure and more powerful.
About three breaths later.
Boom!
Tao Daonan’s face turned white. His beard and robe seemed to have been swept by a windstorm, all flying back.
Tao Wen took a step forward, and a strong and confident aura exploded from her.
"You’re old!"
"You should have left the position for the capable long ago!"
"Under your leadership, the Tao family will inevitably decline!"
"Now, the Tao family should be led by my brother and me to reach the summit!"
Each word, like a thunderclap, kept bombarding the old man’s mind and soul.
Boom!
Tao Daonan’s spirit Qi fluctuation shattered instantly, without any resistance.
He himself staggered back a few steps, in a rather embarrassing manner.
Nearly at the same time,
A refreshing chrysanthemum fragrance began to diffuse from the Pill Refinement Hall.
Under Tao Yichen’s despairing gaze, Tao Yisheng leapt up, reached out, and beckoned the Bronze Tripod.
Three pills fell into his hand.
Green, yellow, and white, all three colors interlaced, indicating a second order lower grade!
"Sis, I did it! I finally did it! Hahaha..."
Holding the three pills, Tao Yisheng’s pale face was filled with excitement and elation.
Tao Wen unconsciously glanced at Luo Chen who had retired to the crowd, and then exclaimed in a resonant voice:
"Congratulations!"
"Everyone, do hurry to pay respect to the Tao Family’s head!"
Her faction’s foundation establishment true cultivators immediately shouted, "Greetings, Family Head!"
However, the remaining foundation establishment true cultivators looked at each other.
But after Tao Wen’s sharp eyes swept over them, they reluctantly shouted out that phrase.
"Greetings, Family Head!"
Tao Wen gave a radiant smile, and then looked at Tao Daonan.
"Clan Chief, shouldn’t we convene a family meeting to announce the new head of the Tao family?"
Tao Daonan’s beard was disheveled, and his face was as dark as water.
With a hateful glance at the two siblings,
"We’ll convene tomorrow!"
After saying that, he left in a huff.
He lost this family head competition.
He lost not only to Tao Yisheng but also to the powerful Tao Wen.
He didn’t expect at all that Tao Wen would be so powerful now, even when directly confronting him, she didn’t even get the short end of the stick, let alone the fact that she was actually stronger than him.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes,
Everyone knows that Tao Daonan lost completely.
From now on, his prestige would be gone.
When he left the pill refining room,
The glaring sunlight shone on his face, making him unconsciously daze for a moment.
When he opened his eyes, Tao Daonan felt somewhat lost.
"Am I really that old?"
