The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“If this woman, relying on her high-level alchemy skills, can also successfully conquer a high-grade treasure elixir, then she would truly be a genius among geniuses…” Tan Yun thought to himself. It has a gentle nature and can be used by cultivators with damaged meridians.” “From its fragrance, it is refined from 9th-grade spiritual herbs, including Azure Cloud Mist Flower, Spirit Blood Nourishing Grass, and Bone-Blood Reinforcing Herb; as well as 8th-grade herbs such as Frozen Azure Citrus Peel...
“If this woman, relying on her high-level alchemy skills, can also successfully conquer a high-grade treasure elixir, then she would truly be a genius among geniuses…” Tan Yun thought to himself.
At that moment, Ru Yan Wuji announced in a resonant voice:
“Yin Shuiling, you may begin your challenge! You have 10 breaths. If you succeed, you may continue consecutively!”
“Yes, Elder,” Yin Shuiling replied. She then raised her slender finger and pointed toward the 7th row.
“I challenge the high-grade treasure elixir… medicinal box No. 245 in the 7th row.”
“Mm.”
With a flick of his sleeve, Ru Yan Wuji opened box No. 245 instantly. A radiant blue elixir shot out and floated steadily into Yin Shuiling’s hand.
She stared intently at the elixir. After only a brief moment, she lifted it and lightly sniffed, then spoke in a firm tone:
“This high-grade treasure elixir is the Meridian Restoration Pill. It has a gentle nature and can be used by cultivators with damaged meridians.”
“From its fragrance, it is refined from 9th-grade spiritual herbs, including Azure Cloud Mist Flower, Spirit Blood Nourishing Grass, and Bone-Blood Reinforcing Herb; as well as 8th-grade herbs such as Frozen Azure Citrus Peel, Immortal Jade Bamboo Shoot, and Mysterious Luo Flame Grass.”
“In addition, it contains 5th-grade Heart-Severing Ginseng and over 1000-year-old Liver-Enhancing Lingzhi.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that only 3 breaths remained. She immediately continued at a faster pace:
“Elder Ru Yan, I request to continue the challenge—low-grade treasure elixir, medicinal box No. 2 in the 5th row!”
The reason she made this choice was clear—within just 3 breaths, it was nearly impossible to fully analyze a mid-grade treasure elixir. Failure would result in point deductions.
To ensure safety, she chose a low-grade treasure elixir worth 300 points.
Yin Shuiling waved her hand, instantly opening box No. 2 in the 5th row. A brown elixir flew into her hand.
She quickly lifted it and sniffed, paused briefly, then spoke at a speed 3 times faster than before:
“This low-grade treasure elixir is the Soul Fusion Pill. It is used by cultivators in the Soul Refinement Realm. After consumption, it increases the speed of soul fusion by 3 times!”
“This elixir is refined from a total of 12 types of herbs, including 6th-grade Golden Vine, 7th-grade Illusory Spirit Mushroom…”
“And finally, the 9th-grade herb—Nether Yin Soulbinding Grass!”
The moment she finished speaking, the time limit was reached exactly!
Yin Shuiling panted lightly, her body drenched in sweat, yet her beautiful face shone with confidence.
Ru Yan Wuji looked at her. Though she was not his disciple, his eyes clearly revealed admiration.
“I hereby announce—Yin Shuiling has successfully completed both challenges!”
“Low-grade Soul Fusion Pill: success, 300 points!”
“High-grade Meridian Restoration Pill: success, 800 points! Total gained: 1100 points!”
“Adding to the previous 1450 points, the Sacred Spirit Palace now has a total of 2550 points!”
Zhuge Yu was overjoyed, looking at Yin Shuiling as he exclaimed, “Good! Good! Good!” 3 times in a row.
The alchemy disciples of the Sacred Spirit Palace all shouted excitedly:
“Senior Sister Yin is the strongest!”
“Senior Sister Yin, we admire you!”
“……”
At the same time, Tantai Xuanzong wore a gloomy expression.
His Huangfu Shengzong only had 890 points, while the Sacred Spirit Palace had surged to 2550 points!
The gap was simply too great!
Ru Yan Wuji turned to look at Du Ling and asked calmly:
“Du Ling… are you ready?”
“Reporting to the Sect Master, I am ready!” Du Ling said firmly.
“Good! The 10-breath challenge… begins!”
The moment the words fell, Du Ling spoke without hesitation:
“I challenge a mid-grade treasure elixir, medicinal box No. 18 in the 6th row!”
Ru Yan Wuji flicked his sleeve. Box No. 18 opened, and a crystal-clear elixir, like pure glass, floated out before landing in Du Ling’s hand.
Du Ling pondered briefly, then raised the elixir to his nose and spoke with confidence:
“This mid-grade treasure elixir is the Bone Cleansing Pill. It is suitable for cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm and Soul Refinement Realm. Its effect is to refine the bones and eliminate impurities within the body.”
“This elixir is refined from a total of 23 types of herbs, including 8th-grade herbs—Bone-Melting Immortal Grass and Blood-Stabilizing Orchid.”
“9th-grade herb—Tendon-Refining Spirit Flower…”
“And 1100-year-old Black Bamboo Bone-Fusing Shoot!”
He finished in a single breath. However, 6 breaths had already passed—only 4 breaths remained!
His face flushed red. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and a radiant golden low-grade treasure elixir shot out from medicinal box No. 88 in the 5th row, landing in his right palm.
The moment he saw it, Du Ling almost cursed out loud!
Because he immediately recognized it—it was the “Vajra Strength Pill,” and it required as many as 69 types of herbs!
Now, only 3 breaths remained!
Even if he had half another mouth, there was no way he could finish listing everything within 3 breaths!
“Damn it!” Du Ling trembled with rage, nearly coughing up blood, his lungs about to explode!
At this scene, Tantai Xuanzong, Shen Suping, and Tang Xinying could not help but laugh.
Even Tan Yun smiled slightly—when luck runs out, even drinking cold water can make you choke.
“Damn it!” Du Ling gritted his teeth, pounded his chest hard, then looked at Ru Yan Wuji, whose expression had turned grim, and cupped his fists.
“I… concede.”
“It is not your fault. It is fate,” Ru Yan Wuji said, consoling him before announcing loudly:
“I hereby declare—Du Ling has successfully completed the challenge of the mid-grade treasure elixir ‘Bone Cleansing Pill,’ earning 500 points!”
“He failed the low-grade treasure elixir challenge and is deducted 300 points!”
“With the previous 1740 points, the Eternal Immortal Sect now has a total of 1940 points!”
“Next—Tan Yun of Huangfu Shengzong!”
As soon as the words fell, all eyes turned toward Tan Yun.
Everyone wanted to know—this alchemy disciple who had already created multiple surprises, what level of elixir would he choose to challenge?
Yet Tan Yun was in no hurry. He looked at Ru Yan Wuji thoughtfully before speaking:
“Elder Ru Yan, please explain the scoring rules once more.”
Ru Yan Wuji’s white brows twitched immediately as he said coldly:
“I already said it. Are you deaf?”
He loathed Tan Yun to the bone. Just thinking about how Tan Yun had severely injured his beloved son yesterday, nearly killing him, made him wish he could drink his blood and gnaw his bones!
Tan Yun glanced at him slightly, then curled his lips into a faint smile:
“Elder, my hearing is perfectly fine. On the contrary, you are getting old—perhaps your memory is failing.”
“You have yet to mention the points for low-grade semi-supreme elixirs, have you?”
Ru Yan Wuji snorted coldly:
“You think you can challenge a low-grade semi-supreme elixir?”
Tan Yun replied indifferently:
“Whether I challenge it or not is my business. There is no need for you to worry.”
“So young, yet already learned to boast!” Ru Yan Wuji mocked, then answered coldly:
“If one successfully challenges a low-grade semi-supreme elixir in the 9th row, they will receive 1800 points.”
Tan Yun nodded slightly.
“And what about mid-grade semi-supreme elixirs?”
“2500 points,” Ru Yan Wuji replied impatiently.
“Hmm, not a small amount,” Tan Yun murmured, then raised his head and continued:
“And high-grade semi-supreme elixirs?”
At once, Ru Yan Wuji’s expression turned icy cold.
“Tan Yun! Are you deliberately making a fool of me?!”
