Supernatural Insight Eyes

A thunderbolt as thick as a water barrel struck the pill, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.

Phew...

Seeing the pill unharmed and still floating intact in the sky, many people let out a sigh of relief. It would be such a pity if the arduously crafted divine pill was shattered by the pill tribulation.

Shua.

The divine pill already had a spiritual essence, almost like life itself, seemingly both curious and fearful of the heavenly tribulation above. It instinctively knew that the lightning from the dark clouds could harm it but also enable it to reach a higher level.

Only pills that withstand the pill tribulation can be truly called divine grade pills.

Rumble...

The lightning struck again!

Master Meng intervened to help the divine pill defy the tribulation. He tossed a piece of white jade, which emitted a light envelope around the divine pill. When the lightning fell, it couldn’t harm the divine pill, and the energy from the lightning was absorbed by the white light and then entirely consumed by the divine pill inside. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Several lightning strikes passed, the pill tribulation was completed, and although the divine pill wanted to escape, it couldn’t elude Master Meng’s grasp. It was instantly collected into a pill bottle by him.

The surrounding disciples of the Pill Tower were all awestruck witnessing the birth of the divine pill and greatly admired Master Meng. Crafting a divine grade pill doesn’t guarantee success every time; there’s a probability of failure. Yet today, Master Meng succeeded in one attempt, which truly opened everyone’s eyes.

The scene where Master Meng’s footwork and pill techniques complemented each other remained vividly memorable.

Having finished crafting the divine pill, Master Meng put away his pill cauldron with a calm demeanor. Even with so many eyes on him, he remained composed, being a divine grade alchemist in the Pill Tower frequently makes one the center of attention, something Master Meng was long accustomed to.

Master Meng had crafted the divine pill, making him the sure winner of this alchemy competition. How could the young alchemist Ye Qiu possibly surpass him?

Master Meng never considered losing, because he was very confident in his alchemy skills. Apart from a few people in the Pill Tower, not many could rival him in alchemy. Throughout the ancestral lands, he held this confidence.

Just as Master Meng was about to see how Ye Qiu’s crafting was going, he heard exclaimed low voices from the crowd.

"The dark clouds haven’t dispersed, but have become thicker. Logically, after a divine pill defies tribulation, such a phenomenon shouldn’t occur," an experienced alchemist said, gazing at the sky.

A few elder divine grade alchemists couldn’t help but furrow their brows; the dark clouds in the sky didn’t show any sign of dissipating and continued to gather, making the cloud layer increasingly low, indicating one thing.

The pill crafted by the youth was extraordinary.

It was highly possible that it was also a divine grade pill!

Although this notion seemed almost unbelievable for someone in their twenties, the clouds in the sky wouldn’t lie.

Master Meng noticed the serious expressions of Senior Master Yuan and the other three divine grade alchemists and also discovered that the pill Ye Qiu was crafting seemed no weaker than his own.

Bang.

There seemed to be only one sound left between heaven and earth, and the youth whom Teacher Jin Zhimo had deemed certain to lose leisurely flicked, causing the lid of the pill cauldron to fly open.

Then, a pill rose from the cauldron.

Right as everyone was eager to check what quality the pill was, the lightning in the sky suddenly descended; this lightning brought more formidable momentum than the tribulation for Master Meng’s divine grade pill. It was an axe-shaped pill tribulation, striking down, resembling the scene when Ye Qiu once broke through to the Void Abode realm.

Boom.

As the lightning axe fell, all around was a glaring whiteness, and those with less strength only felt their eyes aching, while only a few continued gazing at the sky. It was a black pill, not relying on any external means, battling the pill tribulation on its own.

When the light faded, people rubbed their eyes, finally recovering their vision.

Then someone spoke, "The clouds have dispersed..."

Everyone instinctively looked to the sky, where the previously oppressive dark clouds seemed poised to press down on the earth, now scattered in every direction, revealing the blazing sun once more in the sky, shining upon the earth.

After a long moment, people’s gazes uniformly shifted to Ye Qiu, wanting to know what level his pill was, curious whether it had survived the fearsome pill tribulation just now.

This was the question likely in everyone’s mind.

"Master Meng, my pill is finished. We can compare whose crafted pill is better," Ye Qiu said calmly, his tone steady.

In Ye Qiu’s hand, a pill floated in his palm, brown in color, resembling a human figure, sitting cross-legged in the palm, exuding spiritual essence. If one looked carefully, they would discover seven-colored light emerging around it, like a divine brush.

"Colorless, tasteless, traceless – perfect divine grade!"

A voice echoed through the square, reverberating in everyone’s ears, causing the five divine grade alchemists to change their expressions instantly.

For they heard the evaluation of Ye Qiu’s crafted pill, and secondly, the person making the statement held an extraordinary status, someone even five divine grade alchemists met with utmost respect.

Ye Qiu’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to an old man with a face full of wrinkles, who had appeared unknowingly at some point; perhaps a moment ago, perhaps just now, but Ye Qiu hadn’t noticed at all.

"Tower Master!"

Whether it was Master Meng, Senior Master Yuan, or the other divine grade alchemists present, upon seeing this old man, they all respectfully greeted him.

The surrounding disciples of the Pill Tower also bowed, signaling their respect for the old man.

"Pill Tower Master!" Miao Shan’s expression gleamed, instantly realizing the old man’s identity. Apart from the person who founded the Pill Tower, who else could command such reverence from all the disciples?

"Fentian, you should quickly pay your respects to the Tower Master." Miao Shan suddenly appeared beside Ye Qiu, smiling, urging Ye Qiu to promptly show respect and not offend this individual.

"He is the only immortal grade alchemist in the entire ancestral lands and the number one in alchemy dao, the founder of the Pill Tower. What are you standing around for, quickly show your respects," Miao Shan, seeing Ye Qiu still scrutinizing the old man, hurriedly reminded him.

The number one in alchemy dao?

Ye Qiu was taken aback. This title was not ordinary and was not something anyone could assume.

Ye Qiu lost focus because he suddenly realized that the foremost person in alchemy dao was right in front of him, causing him to be momentarily dazed. The foremost in alchemy dao was akin to the foremost in martial dao, an individual standing at the pinnacle of a domain.

A veritable giant in alchemy dao!

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and performed a salute, saying, "Junior Ye Fentian pays respects to the Tower Master."

"A young hero indeed, your alchemy skills are only a notch below mine. No need to address me as a junior; we can converse as equals," the old man slowly replied.

His words, falling on the ears of all the Pill Tower disciples present, resounded like thunder by their ears.

This young man was esteemed by the Tower Master to address as equals.

Truly unbelievable!
