Chapter 2244 Pill Tribulation
Chapter 2244: Pill Tribulation Chapter 2244: Pill Tribulation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Chen understood what Master Yu was thinking. He simply nodded slightly in agreement. He had heard of the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill, but he had never refined it before. At his level, the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill was already useless. The city lord summoned his subordinates and instructed them to gather the medicinal herbs required to refine the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill. Before long, one of his subordinates brought two sets of medicinal herbs and placed one in front of both Ye Chen and Master Yu. Master Yu scoffed coldly and sat down cross-legged. He took out an exquisite alchemy furnace that released a subtle fragrance of alchemy. The quality of the alchemy furnace was clearly superior to that of Ye Chen’s. Refining a medicinal pill of this level was effortless for him. He placed the medicinal herbs in with careful deliberation. The weight of each portion of herbs was perfectly balanced. The alchemists present were silently astonished. As expected of Master Yu! When they glanced back at Ye Chen, he noticed that Ye Chen was not moving at all. Instead, he was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought. The alchemists shook their heads. From their perspective, it appeared that Ye Chen had given up on himself and was simply waiting for death to come. In his mind, Ye Chen was studying the book that Divine Doctor Cang Gu had given him. He quickly discovered the method for refining the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill. Upon closer inspection, he realized that there were some differences compared to the typical refinement process of the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill. There were variations in terms of quantity. This technique belonged to Divine Doctor Cang Gu, so Ye Chen did not question it at all and prepared to refine it according to the instructions. Meanwhile, a faint fragrance of the pill forming had already begun to waft from Master Yu’s area. He only required an hour to complete the process successfully. Noticing that Ye Chen had not moved, Master Yu felt completely reassured. This life-and-death battle was virtually guaranteed to end in his favor. “Look, that kid is moving!” exclaimed one of the alchemists. They had been closely observing Ye Chen. Even if he understood that defeat was inevitable, he should at least make some effort to try, right? That being said, miracles were exceedingly rare. Ye Chen first took out the Heaven Blooming Flower and placed it inside the furnace. This action caused the alchemists to emit a bitter laugh. The order of the ingredients was incorrect. He should have placed the Blue Spirit Grass first, followed by the Heaven Blooming Flower. It was clear that Ye Chen had never refined the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill before. Perhaps he did not even possess a proper pill formula and was merely trying to refine it haphazardly. Disregarding the gazes of others, Ye Chen continued to add the herbs. He then summoned the Mystic Flame. He intended to utilize the Mystic Flame to refine the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill. There was indeed a gap in experience between him and Master Yu. Other individuals dedicated their entire lives to alchemy, while he focused on using alchemy to enhance his cultivation. In this deadly competition, if he sought to overcome Master Yu, he needed to employ alternative strategies to secure victory. As the Mystic Flame manifested, everyone sensed its extraordinary nature. Master Yu’s flames were beast flames, which could not be compared to Ye Chen’s flames. Scorching flames surged forth. Master Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Chen’s flames, a flicker of greed surfacing in his expression. The moment Ye Chen fell, this flame would become his possession! Even if Ye Chen’s flame was exceptional, no alchemist believed that he could triumph. After all, there was already an issue with the order of the medicinal ingredients. The only outcome awaiting him was a catastrophic explosion of the furnace. Time passed steadily. Master Yu remained focused, as he was now in the final stages of condensing the pill. Even as a Star Aperture-grade Alchemist, he could not afford to be distracted. A single misstep could lead to failure. The main hall was already saturated with the fragrance of pills. Just a slight whiff would invigorate one’s senses. Master Yu stood up and opened the pill furnace. A crystal-clear pill rested in his hand. The Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill exuded a fragrant aroma and a captivating luster. “As expected of Master Yu. It is clear at a glance that it is undoubtedly high-grade,” one of the alchemists stood up to praise without reservation. “Refining a medicinal pill of this caliber is merely a trivial task,” Master Yu stated modestly, yet his face was adorned with a smile. It was evident that he relished the compliments. He turned to observe Ye Chen and noted that Ye Chen had yet to condense his pill. A scornful smile crept onto his lips. There was no activity from Ye Chen’s side. In terms of time, Master Yu was already ahead. The alchemists present glanced at Ye Chen and shook their heads. What was the point of struggling any longer? It was already miraculous that Ye Chen’s Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill had not yet exploded. Boom! At that moment, a dull thud resonated from Ye Chen’s alchemy furnace. Upon hearing this, everyone understood that it signaled the impending explosion of the furnace! Master Yu observed the events unfold with delight. What more could he say once Ye Chen’s furnace exploded? Boom! This time, there was another sound. However, it was not from Ye Chen’s alchemy furnace, but rather a clap of thunder. Dark clouds enveloped Heavenly Demon City, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder. The city lord rose to his feet and gazed up at the sky, murmuring, “This is a Pill Tribulation!” “Furthermore, this phenomenon appears to surpass the level of a Star Aperture-grade alchemist!” When a medicinal pill reached an extraordinary level, the Heavenly Dao would manifest a pill tribulation, refusing to allow the existence of such a remarkable medicinal pill. The cultivator of Heaven Demon City could already sense the terrifying aura. They all looked skyward. Which mighty figure was about to undergo tribulation in the Demon City? They assumed that an expert had broken through, drawing the lightning tribulation, yet they were unaware that it was all due to a medicinal pill. Within the manor, the alchemists stood one by one, their eyes fixated on Ye Chen’s alchemy furnace. Master Yu’s Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill had already been refined. It was impossible for it to trigger a pill tribulation. The only plausible cause was Ye Chen. Astonished eyes stared at Ye Chen, their mouths agape. Was Ye Chen’s Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill not on the verge of exploding? Why then would it invoke a pill tribulation? In the sky above, the lightning tribulation continued to gather, and a bolt of lightning descended in an instant. Boom! Ye Chen stood up and clenched his fists, shattering the lightning tribulation! Though Ye Chen was injured, after experiencing the Heavenly Dao Palace’s Sword of Annihilation, the lightning tribulation was still too weak to stop him. His body was fully capable of withstanding it. The lightning tribulation descended one after another, and each time, it was obliterated by his fists. A total of 49 bolts of lightning fell from the heavens before it ceased. In the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, and the lightning tribulation concluded. Everyone stared at Ye Chen and the cauldron, eager to discover the potency of the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill. “Impossible! This cannot be!” “He is merely an unknown alchemist. How could a mere junior summon such a phenomenon?” At this moment, Master Yu was no longer calm and collected. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Weng! At that instant, the alchemy furnace emitted a sudden buzzing sound. “The furnace is about to explode!” Master Yu bellowed in fury. His voice was piercing as he fixed his gaze on the pill furnace. This was his sole hope. As long as the furnace exploded, did it matter if the lightning tribulation appeared? He would not lose this challenge! Weng! Weng! Weng! Suddenly, a beautiful sound resonated from the pill furnace, echoing throughout the air. The already astonished alchemists stood frozen in place, as if entranced. “This… This is the Great Dao Pill Sound…” one of the alchemists murmured, his hands trembling.
