Chapter 830: Conflicts, Showing Power, Pill Tribulation.
One of the Immortal Sovereigns said, "I do not believe that this kid can refine those pills. I am sure that he must have found them from the tomb of Senior Yama."
Someone asked, "Why do you think he cannot do that? Are you doubting Elder Healing Hand\'s opinion on this matter?"
The crowd was divided in two groups already. One who supported Shi Lang because he was backed by Healing Hands, while the other half doubted him. However, the four elders did not bat an eyelash at this situation, they had gotten used to these nonsensical disputes over the ages. If these people tried anything over board, then the four would not hold back.
Shi Lang was uncaring towards all of them, he sat down inside the barrier with his eyes closed. He sat there for two days without moving a muscle. The people who did not support him were getting agitated, and one of them yelled, "What is this facade? Why is he just sitting there? I knew it he was a fraud. Elder Healing Hands, move aside, I will cripple this bastard for lying to us."
The lady frowned and asked, "Do you mean to say that I cannot tell if he is qualified or not? Are you doubting me? Also, who are you to command me?"
The people who believed in Healing Hands nodded and said, "Do you even know the level of this pill? Even Elder Healing Hands would have to meditate for long hours before she could stabilize her heart and mind. You brawn for brains losers do not understand the delicateness of alchemy. No wonder so many of you go out and die in the name of ferocity."
The comment was akin to a personal insult and it triggered the rage from the people in the opposing camp and the leader who had spoke up earlier charged up his spiritual energy, and was ready to attack, when a knife appeared on his neck.
The man froze and so did the people. They spotted a person appear out of nowhere. It was not just one person, but hundreds of people surrounded the area, they were all dressed in black and red battle suits. In these past few days, Amelia had generously used the manufacturing station to create a uniform battle suit for the people of the Asura Hall.
They were all domineering and radiated a strong killing intent. Shi Lang had told them not to stop from fighting all over the world. They had been hunting strong demonic beasts and demonic cultivators on a daily basis now.
The Asura Hall was a name that made people shiver in their boots, specially ever since Shi Lang slayed Immortal Sovereigns and declared to the world that he and his people knew the technique to sacrifice their Dao Laws.
The man asked in a stammer, "You, what the hell are you doing? Do you know who I am? Take away the knife."
The person did not react at all. A calm and deep voice sounded, "The hall master is busy, please maintain order. If anyone is found creating a ruckus, he or she would be dealt with an Iron Fist. Asura Hall does not tolerate any offensive advancements."
One person asked, "Do you mean to say that you will come after all of us if we attacked, do you think you can handle us?"
The person leading the Asura Hall looked at the man and said, "Squad, weapons hot."
They have been spending some time learning modern tactics and attack slangs. As soon as the words dropped all the people from the Shura Hall took out spirit weapons and trained them at the group. The leader said, "You can try if you wish to fight us. But if the ten of us decide to go all out, you all will regret it in your afterlife."
The people caught the hint. They were going to sacrifice Dao Laws. This was simply going to spell disaster for them. Recently a few Demonic cultivators surrounded an operative of the Asura Hall. The operator did not run and neither did he call for help. He directly sacrificed his Dao Laws and within five minutes he lay waste to seventeen demonic cultivators all higher in realm than him.
The Demonic cultivators did not dare to sacrifice their Dao Laws, because they would weaken without the power of negativity. While sacrificing the Dao Laws, one had to be careful and if they did not, the heavenly mental demons would trigger.
The demonic cultivators suffered from demons and thus they could not use this technique. The leader of the Asura Hall did not command anyone to lower their weapon. They did not trust anyone. Suddenly, everyone turned gaze at Shi Lang, who was now standing before the pill cauldron.
He said, "Bring Tian Long\'s body here."
Lao Xu waved his hand and Tian Long\'s body appeared before Shi Lang. The Terran manipulated the spiritual energy and made the Heavenly Dragon Sovereign sit up in a meditative position and made a few seals with his hands.
He rolled up the sleeves of his rode, revealing a swarming dragon tattoo. Then he brought the jade box out from his space ring, and extracted the five herbs. The impact of these herbs was so strong that even Allure\'s heart was shivering. The faint aroma from the herbs entered the senses of the experts and all of them were agitated.
Hou Bing had been resting on Allure\'s head this whole time, she said, "Allure, you are not doing your job."
The myriad fox woke up from the temptation and clapped her hands. Everyone woke up from the daze and she said, "If you tried to do anything funny, I will kill you. Then I will kill your families too."
The chill in her tone made the people shiver. They all woke up from the charm of the herbs. Shi Lang waved his hand and created a rings of fire around the herbs. Healing Hands reacted, "Heavenly Spirit Flame!"
Her eyes were filled with surprise, there were many heavenly spirit flames. She also had one, but nothing she had seen could compare to the one Shi Lang conjured. She could sense that this flame was focused towards burning the impurities. This was the optimal flame for an alchemist.
Shi Lang held the herbs under the flames for two days. Yes, two days, nobody expected the herbs to withstand the flames for so long. Someone asked, "Elder Healing Hands, why is it taking so long to refine the herbs into spirit essence."
Healing Hands replied, "These herbs are heavenly herbs, I can sense a strong elemental origin in all of them, however, being a plant type creation. They all have earth element within their core. Ace is trying to burn that away. Clearing an element that is pure is difficult, it can even take months for him to control every bit of the elemental essence and divide it from the herbs."
The people understood what was going on and became silent. Time flew away quickly, Shi Lang spent seven days refining the herbs, and the people noticed a few sparks of green emitting from the herbs. They all opened their eyes, and Shi Lang continued the process without saying anything.
It took a whole two days for him to separate the essence of earth from the herbs. Now the plants looked transparent but they all had a reflective hue of a different color. Two more days passed before one of the herbs began to look a bit mushy. Shi Lang\'s forehead was covered in sweat. He was feeling tired, but he was focused on the pill formula in his mind.
After a total of fourteen days, the herbs were no longer herbs but they were spiritual essence. The purest elemental spirit essence one could have ever seen. Shi Lang recited the formula and began to transfer the essence in the cauldron very carefully. The people held their breaths. They had many questions as to why Shi Lang was not adding them all together and they would balance themselves.
Healing Hands channeled her spiritual consciousness and told everyone when she sensed their curiosity, \'The soul is made from a combination of five elements. It is not as simple as you think, if so that such a pill would not have been called the heavenly pill.\'
Suddenly everyone raised their heads, the sky was turning darker. Lao Xu mumbled, "Heavenly Tribulation."
Everyone saw the Cauldron to shiver, as Shi Lang said, "There is a pill tribulation coming, go away or the lightning will come for you."
They all cleared away very quickly. Shi Lang made seals with his hands, his actions were so fast that even with spiritual consciousness the elders not catch him. Suddenly, after half a day of seal making, Shi Lang said, "Condense."
The clouds in the sky thundered as if warning him not to go against the heaven\'s will. Shi Lang raised his head and said, "Shut up and do your duty, do not tell your father what to do or not."
He slapped off the lip covering the cauldron and a seven colored pill levitated slowly, then it circled Shi Lang before moving towards the sky, where a lightning snake was moving towards it.
