Thinking that everyone is on the same starting line as him, Ye Mo didn't care if he got the heaven glory pill or not. It would only save some time for him at most. If he could choose he would choose the Hua Sang pill.
"first round time is three days. Now the pills will be distributed and the tournament begins." Yue Qichao said.
Ye Mo laughed to himself. Even he used a few months to find out the contents of the heaven glory pill. although he didn't study it every minute of the day, it would still take more than three days. Even Yue Qichao said he couldn't find the answer after a few decades.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo realized that this first round gave marks based on the number of spirit herb you recognize.
A few minutes later, Ye Mo got his pill. it was a heaven glory pill.
Almost all pill king and pill master started studying their pill but Ye Mo felt things were boring. He started watching other pill master and pill king's flames. Ye Mo saw about 50 types of rare flames and felt speechless.
Pretty much all pill king had a rare flame. More than ten high level spirit pill master also had rare flames. He even saw another purple flower flame.
There was also rock skin flame, black earth bone flame, blue phoenix flame which were very common. There was three or four using Wood Heart flame too.
Ye Mo even saw two heaven flames. One was ranked fourth called Extreme Geng flame, level five pill king Xu Banchang used it. the other was ranked 7 Lan Rock fire, level four pill king Qiu Niansheng of the Green Pill sect used it.
Ye Mo knew where the Lan Rock flame came from. it was probably the flame the Han Liang empire found.
Ye Mo also noticed another cultivator who used the sense sha flame. Sense sha flame ranked 13 in the rare flames of the cultivation realm. It was just below purple flower flame. But what caught Ye Mo's attention was that this cultivator dissected the pill with means and speed much faster than when he dissected the heaven glory pill.
While Ye Mo was watching someone else, someone else was also watching him. Ning Qingxue saw that Ye Mo didn't even take out his flame and immediately her eyes were full of worry. She even felt sad that Ye Mo was an solo cultivator and couldn't get good flames like those big sect members
Lu Wuhu looked at Ye Mo who was looking around and laughed saying to himself."this kid's interesting, he didn't just use my name to sign up and do nothing right?"
Ye Mo felt that people started looking at him and he realized that it was because he did nothing. Without hesitation, he took out his soul fire.
"soul fire?" Lu Wuhu shook his head and didn't watch Ye Mo anymore.
Using soul fire in the pill king tournament was asking to get defeated. Even the worst competing pill king or pill master had a better flame than soul flame.
...
Three days wasn't long and those cultivators who had feud with Ye Mo all watched him. When they saw that Ye Mo took out soul flame, they all breathed easy. They didn't consider level seven spirit pill master a threat but if Ye Mo unraveled the ancient pill recipe, they would no longer be able to touch Ye Mo. It would even be up to Ye Mo to decide if anything happened to them.
Fang ZHongshi was sitting unnervingly. If Ning Qingxue didn't lie to him and that Ye Mo who created the spirit weaving pill was Ye Mo, then he had no chance at all. He might even had to go into 100 year solitary cultivation for his promise.
Meanwhile Qiu Xue and Guo Qifan who knew Ye Mo were extremely shock. They knew Ye Mo came from North Far State so clearly, Ye Mo was quite possibly that god like cultivator in Yue Qichao's mouth.
Huang Yushan from the Lightning Forgery sect was also shocked, he knew Ye Mo came form North Far State. he wasn't sure if this Luo Xiaomo was Ye Mo but he had some concerns now. he didn't dare to hide his conjecture and told the hollow spirit state cultivator next to him.
The hollow spirit state cultivator stared at the soul flame in Ye Mo's hand and after a long while, he frowned "according to what you said, this person might really be the cultivator who created the spirit weaving pill. he used foundation chi fire before and now he uses nascent soul flame..."
That hollow spirit state paused for a moent and said."wait, if it really is him then not only can we not seek revenge but we have best give the remaining 5 color lotus to him."
Huang Yushan nodded. If Ye Mo really was that cultivator, he would be praying that Ye Mo didn't come to him for revenge.
...
Three days passed and Ye Mo wrote down the recipe of heaven glory pill on the jade slip. Although he didn't want to give it out like that, he knew that the heaven glory pill was an expensive pill. it was impossible to be used everywhere like Yue Qichao said. Who would use a level seven Dihua beast core to concoct pills for golden core state cultivator? Even if there were, it wouldn't be many.
So Ye Mo didn't mind too much giving the recipe away.
Ye Mo knew there were 11 spirit herbs involved in concocting the heaven glory pill. there were 5 main ones that were water weed, mist zhi land, yellow three leaves, red light fruit and dihua beast core.
He didn't know what would happen with dihua beast core that was below level seven. But according to his conjecture, it probably wouldn't be effective unless less ingredients were used. Otherwise, it would greatly decrease the effectiveness of the pill.
So, Ye Mo wrote at least above level six dihua beast core.
There were 8 judges and 500 or so answers were looked through quickly.
Everyone knew that there wasn't even a standard answer. It was almost impossible, but judges could give marks based on how many herbs were found.
Most pill master were very nervous handing the pill recipe up and they would've started discussing if it weren't for tournament rules.
But Ye Mo sat on his seat not nervous at all. He had been doing this question for a few months after all.
...
"heaven glory pill, 11 spirit herbs?" Wu Tan called out in shock while reading Ye Mo's answer. As a judge, he didn't look favourably to this test. He was a pill king too, a level six pill king. He had dissected Hua Sang pill, heaven glory pill and disaster defense pill and mist spirit pill.
He and the two city lords of the Pill City as well as two renowned people in the pill concoction industry only could find 10 herbs but they knew there were 11 herbs and no one could find the last one.
"someone dissected 11 spirit herbs of the heaven glory pill? other than Ji Ling and Lu Wuhu, the other 6 pill kings almost rushed to Wu Tan immediately.
"main ingredients, water weed, mist zhi lan, yellow three elaf, red light fruit, dihua beast core... supplementary herbs, Tian Maa, Ning Guang herb... wait, there's an extra dihua beast core here..." Shen Guanqing read it and exclaimed.
"dihua beast core, dihua beast core..." Yue Qichao murmured a few times and suddenly realized."how come I didn't think of it? they used spirit beast inner core..."
"is our South Peace State going to have a prodigy pill master too? He recreated the heaven glory pill recipe in three days." Yue Qichao stared at Ye Mo's answer sheet and was very excited.
He couldn't wait to see what this cultivator's name was called.
"another solo cultivator, Luo Xiaomo, why does this name have a mo too? He's only a level seven spirit pill master." Yue Qichao read the name.
"city lord, I feel like this pill recipe might really be true should we try concoct it now?" level four pill king Zhao SHuntian asked.
"no." Yue Qichao immediately shook his head "Luo Xiaomo recreated this pill we need to respect his result. Even if we know this pill can be concocted and it's correct we need to wait for him to concoct it first. This is respect to a pill master."
Then, he looked at the remaining pill king and said "let's continue marking answers. Decide the first 100 and then progress to the second round. As for this answer, my opinion is full marks."
Wu Tan immediately agreed."I agree full marks too, regardless if the heaven glory pill can be made he answered right ten of the spirit herb and wrote the dihua beast core we didn't expect. This is deserving of full marks."
The other four judges nodded too.
