Thinking that everyone else was on the same starting line as him now, Ye Mo didn’t care too much about whether or not he got the ‘Heavenly Hua Dan’. By getting the Heavenly Hua Dan, he would just save some time. To be honest, if he was given the choice now, he might still choose the Hua Sang Dan. Even if he chose the Hua Sang Dan, he wouldn’t necessarily lose to anyone else.
“The first round of the competition will last for three days, the pills will now be distributed and the competition will begin.” As Yue Qichao finished saying that the competition was starting, the pills were already being distributed one by one.
Ye Mo laughed in his heart, even he had spent several months analysing the ‘Tian Hua Dan’, although not every moment of the day, but it was more than three days. Three days to break down an elixir composition was a little too short. Even Yue Qichao himself said that he didn’t have an answer even after decades.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo secretly sighed at his luck, if he hadn’t suddenly met the ‘Crying Beast Inner Pill’, he might not have analyzed it even now. This question should have been given points based on the number of spirit herbs identified.
A few minutes later, Ye Mo got his pills, and it was a ‘Tian Hua Dan’. To Ye Mo although he didn’t care if he could get the ‘Tian Hua Dan’, but it was good to get it after all.
Almost all the Dan Masters or Dan Kings started to analyse the pills in front of them, while Ye Mo felt like he had nothing to do. He began to observe the flames of other Dan Masters and Dan Kings, and when Ye Mo saw fifty to sixty strange flames, he was a little speechless.
Those Dan Kings basically all had a singular fire, while for Senior Spiritual Dan Masters, there were also a dozen or so with singular flames. Even for the ‘Purple Aoi Fire’, he saw one.
Apart from that, fires like Stone Skin Fire, Black Dry Bone Flame and Blue Phoenix Flame were simply very common, while the Wooden Heart Fire that Gu Min Qian used was even used by three or four people.
To Ye Mo’s amazement, he also saw two Heavenly Flames, one was the Extreme Geng Flame, ranked fourth among the Heavenly Dipper Flames, which was being used by Dan City’s participant, Fifth Grade Dan King Xu Hanchang. And the seventh ranked Heavenly Fire, Lan Yan Fire, was being used by a cultivator from the Bi Dan Clan, a fourth grade Dan King called Qiu Niansheng.
The origin of the Lan Yan Fire was known to Ye Mo, it should be the same fire found in the Han Liang Empire, after the Bi Dan Clan got this fire, they gave Han Liang Empire two places in the Hall of Meteoric Truth. I didn’t expect this Lan Yan Fire to be used by Qiu Niansheng. But it was just as well, Qiu Niansheng was the Fourth Grade Dan King of the Bidan Sect, so this fire could only be given to him.
Apart from the two cultivators using the Heavenly Flame, Ye Mo also noticed a cultivator who was using the Ignisance Fire, which ranked thirteenth among the strange fires in the Cultivation World, second only to Ye Mo’s Purple Sunflower Fire. It could be said that it was quite a good type of strange fire, but Ye Mo paid attention to him not because of his fire, but because of this cultivator’s method and speed of decomposing pills. That was simply flowing, and Ye Mo was sure that he was much more powerful than when he was decomposing the ‘Tian Hua Dan’.
Ye Mo was paying attention to others, but someone else was also paying attention to him. When Ning Qingxue saw that Ye Mo hadn’t even sacrificed his flames at all, her eyes were instantly filled with worry. There was even some pity in his heart, Ye Mo, a casual cultivator was no more than a cultivator from a large sect, it would be hard for him to get good exotic flames.
Lu Wuhu looked meaningfully at Ye Mo who was looking around and suddenly smiled and said to himself, “This kid is really interesting, he’s not going to take my name and apply for a place and then abuse it, is he?”
Ye Mo seemed to feel that someone was paying attention to him, he immediately knew the reason for his lack of movement, and immediately without even thinking, he offered up his baby fire.
“Baby fire?” Lu Wuhu shook his head with a bitter smile and didn’t bother to observe Ye Mo anymore.
Using baby fire to participate in the Dan King Competition, this was simply looking for abuse. In this Dan King Competition, the worst flames were not baby flames. Even the worst participating dan masters or dan kings had a heaven and earth dan flame, or this flame was not a strange flame, yet it was too much stronger than their own baby flame.
……
To a cultivator, three days is no time at all. Several cultivators who had a grudge against Ye Mo were staring at him, and every cultivator who saw Ye Mo take out his baby fire breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn’t put Ye Mo, a seventh grade spirit dan master, in their eyes, but in case he solved that ancient dan recipe, it was not something they could move. It even depended on Ye Mo’s mood whether he wanted to move them or not.
The Fang Seed Master and his master in the audience were both on the ‘Piaomiao Immortal Pond’ side, but the Fang Seed Master was a bit fidgety. If Ning Qingxue hadn’t lied to him and that Ye Mo who had refined the ‘God Weaving Pill’ was really who she said he was, he wouldn’t have the slightest chance. And it was also very likely that he would close down for a hundred years in order to fulfill his promise.
However, Qiu Xue and Guo Qi Van, who knew Ye Mo’s name, were shocked, as they both vaguely knew that Ye Mo was from the Northern Hope Continent, and it was obvious that Ye Mo was most likely the heaven-defying cultivator that Yue Qi Chao City Master had spoken of.
Equally shocked was Huang Yushan of the Thunder Weapon Sect, who knew with certainty that Ye Mo was from the Northern Hope Continent and also knew his name. At this moment, although he was not sure if the Ye Mo in front of him, who went by the alias Luo Xiaomei, was the same Ye Mo that the Moon City Lord had spoken of, he had a few more scruples. He didn’t dare to hide his suspicions at all and immediately told the Void God cultivator next to him what he thought.
That Void God cultivator stared at the infant fire in Ye Mo’s hand for a long time before frowning and saying, “According to you, this person is most likely the cultivator who refined the ‘God Weaving Pill’ back then, the true foundation building fire he used back then and the infant fire he uses now, both without the strange fire ……”
After a pause, the Void God cultivator suddenly said, “Let’s see later, if it really is him, not only can we not continue to seek revenge on him, but it would be best to give him the rest of that ‘Five Color Lotus’.”
Huang Yushan nodded and did not dare to speak. He knew what his senior uncle meant, if the other party was really the cultivator who had refined the ‘God Weaving Pill’, then they should not say that they should seek revenge on him, it would be Amida Buddha if he did not come to them.
……
The three days pa*sed in a flash, and Ye Mo, like other cultivators, wrote the ‘Heavenly Hua Dan’ recipe on top of the jade slip and sent it up. Although taking out the formula for the ‘Tian Hua Dan’, Ye Mo had some reluctance in his heart, but he also knew that the ‘Tian Hua Dan’ was a rich elixir, and it was simply impossible to make it as popular as Yue Qichao had said. Who would take the inner pellet of a Grade 7 Crying Beast to refine a pill for a Golden Dan cultivator to cultivate? Even if there were, there wouldn’t be many of them.
So the ‘Tian Hua Dan’ elixir recipe was taken out, and he didn’t care much about it.
Ye Mo knew that the ‘Tian Hua Dan’ had eleven kinds of spiritual herbs, of which the main ones were five, namely water hemp seaweed, smoky sesame orchid, falling yellow clover, red light fruit, and crybaby beast inner dan.
When he had first made the ‘Heavenly Flower Pill’, he had used the level seven Crying Beast Inner Pill. He did not know how the Crying Beast Inner Pill was below level seven, but according to his deduction, the effect of a Crying Beast Inner Pill below level six should not be very effective. Unless less pills came out of one furnace, it might greatly reduce the effect of the ‘Tian Hua Dan’.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the pills, Ye Mo wrote that it was a Crying Clam Beast Inner Pill of at least level six or above.
Of the eight judges, there were six Dan Kings, Lu Wuhu and Ji Endow were only honorary judges, even with the six Dan Kings doing their work, over five hundred answer jade slips were still quickly sifted through.
Although everyone knew that this time the test questions were not even complete with standard answers, and it was almost impossible to make a complete answer, the participating judges were however able to grade the participating cultivators based on how many herbs they found.
Unlike Ye Mo, most of the dan masters who handed in their answers were so nervous that some cultivators would have started discussing among themselves if not for the competition regulations.
Ye Mo, however, wasn’t nervous at all as he sat in his entry position, he had been working on this test for months, if he still couldn’t get first place, then he could really go buy a block of tofu and crash it.
……
“Tian Hua Dan, eleven types of spirit herbs?” Wu Tan screamed out in shock as he took Ye Mo’s answer sheet, as a judge, he didn’t think much of the topic this time. This was because he was also a Dan King, and a Sixth Grade Dan King at that, and he had broken down several kinds of pills, such as the Huasang Dan, the Tianhua Dan, the Shoulder Pill, and the Mist Spirit Pill.
The Tian Hua Dan he and the two city lords of Dan City, as well as the two famous names in the alchemy world generally decomposed ten herbs, but they all knew that the Tian Hua Dan had eleven spirit herbs, and no one could decompose the last one.
“Someone has decomposed the eleven spirit herbs of the Heavenly Hua Dan?” Apart from Ji endowment and Lu Wuhu, the other six Dan kings all crowded in front of Wu Tan almost at the same time after hearing this.
“The main herbs water sesame seaweed, smoke sesame orchid, fallen yellow clover, red light fruit, crybaby beast inner elixir …… auxiliary herbs mingtian hemp, condensed light gra*s …… No, this dan recipe has one more crybaby beast inner elixir ……” Shen Yanqing read the recipe in front of him with surprise, but before he finished reading it, he saw the difference, there was an additional Crying Beast Inner Elixir.
“Crying clam beast inner elixir, crying clam beast inner elixir ……” Yue Qi Chao muttered several times, and suddenly it dawned on him, “Why didn’t I think of that? Using demonic beast inner elixir, it turns out to be using demonic beast inner elixir ……”
He didn’t know that Ye Mo hadn’t thought of using the Crying Claptrap Beast’s inner elixir before either, instead he used a spirit crystal that could eat dead people, only because he happened to see the auction of the Crying Claptrap Beast’s inner elixir, which made him think of using the Crying Claptrap Beast’s inner elixir.
“Is there finally going to be a genius dan master in my Southern An Continent? He actually restored the complete ‘Tian Hua Dan’ Dan formula within three days.” Yue Qi Chao clutched the Dan recipe left behind by Ye Mo with his eye brows raised, his heart excited.
He couldn’t wait to see what this cultivator’s name was.
“Another scattered cultivator, Luo XiaoMo, how come this name also has the word Mo in it? It’s surprising that he’s only a seventh grade Spiritual Dan master, it’s true that geniuses can’t be seen at all.” Yue Qi Chao read the name out directly.
“Silver Moon City Master, I feel that this ‘Heavenly Flower Pill’ recipe is highly probable, shall we refine it now and see?” Zhao Shuntian, one of the judges, a fourth-grade Dan King, immediately said. Yue Qi Chao was a seventh grade Dan King, also called the Silver Moon Dan King, and generally the people of Dan City were directly called the Silver Moon City Lord.
“No.” Yue Qichao immediately shook his head and said, “This Dan recipe was broken down by this Dan master called Luo Xiaomo, we have to respect his achievements, that is, we know that this Dan can be refined and it is correct, we have to wait for him to be the first to do so. This is the respect for a dan master.”
Having said that, he turned to look at the rest of the Dan Kings and said, “Let’s continue to read and grade the scripts and first delineate the top one hundred, and then proceed to the second round. As for this answer sheet, my opinion is to give it full marks.”
Wu Tan immediately nodded in agreement, “I am also in favour of full marks, whether or not this dan recipe can be refined into a ‘Tian Hua Dan’ in the end, but it is the fact that he has answered the ten herbs in it correctly, and has also written out the inner elixir of the Crying Clam Beast, which none of us had thought of, this full mark is well deserved.”
The other four judges all nodded their heads, clearly having no objection to this full mark either.
