Chapter no.98 The Chieftain " Baba Yaga "

[ Divine Continent - The Valley of the Dead ]

" So , this is the famous valley of the dead . I am more impressed by that old man's luck to have found this place " Lin Lingtian exclaimed as he gazed upon the pillar of cloud in the center of the valley while he sat quietly on the horns of the Hell Keeper Cerberus .

Besides Lin Lingtian was Tempest who held the sleeping jindan in his hands .

" Milord , do you wish to enter into the Fire Cloud Manor ? "

In response to Tempest's words , Lin Lingtian stood up as he stretched his body .

" Let's g..... " Without completing his words , Lin Lingtian immediately turned around as his hands outstretched .

In the valley of the dead , rows of skeletons could be seen walking towards the pillar of cloud .

Suddenly one of these skeletons was wrapped by chains made out of yin soul force.

All the other skeletons ignored the obstruction in the pathway as they walked around it .

Lin Lingtian appeared infront of the skeleton who was struggling to go towards the pillar of cloud .

Lin Lingtian silently stared at the skeleton as he tried to form some words but he didn't know how to say them . After what seemed like an eternity a few words came out of Lin Lingtian's mouth .

" I am sorry ! "

The chains around the skeleton broke as it didn't even spare a glance at Lin Lingtian and continued to walk towards the pillar of cloud .

Lin Lingtian observed the entire process of that particular skeleton going into the cycle of samsara as he turned around towards Tempest with an extremely deathly serious look .

" Let's Go ! "

" Y....es ; yes , Let's go "

Lin Lingtian took a deep breath as space warped around him .

[ Divine Continent - Toxic Forest ]

Pill cultivation contests were a common event during the Age of the Saint Spirit Empire. Some of the top ranking experts of that era such as Emperor Xia and Emperor Gu were top-notch Alchemists . Under their guidance, the pill cultivation skills of the Saint Spirit Empire had developed considerably. There were frequent pill cultivation contests that were organized on a weekly basis .

Even the Spiritual God of Death was also pretty good in pill cultivation. During this period of time when these three emperors held the throne, there were all sorts of pill cultivation contests that were organized in the Divine Continent . They had even personally organized their own pill cultivation contests.

That was the golden age for the art of pill cultivation. During the next couple of eras while there were also pill cultivation contests, there were not as many during the Age of the Saint Spirit Empire .

In the toxic forest , the rules of the pill competition were simple as stated by the Chieftain ," Based on your own abilities, you will cultivate a type of pill. Firstly, the judges shall compare the effects of the pill. The better the effects of the pill, the better it is. If judges can differentiate in terms of the level of the pill, we can omit the other factors from there and decide the winner."

"If we can't, then we shall then compare the quality and quantity of the pill before the time taken."

Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his hands as a thought filled his head .

' Could this even be called a Pill Competition anymore ? '

Looking up , Gu Yuan could see the looks of shock and awe as the entire reverse pagoda was filled with a mystical and ethereal light produced by the Skyfire as everyone could see the essence of Spiritual herbs floating in the flames that didn't belong to this world being controlled by a Technique from the Draconic Ruins Realm .

Zhu Fei along with everyone were left speechless and dumbfounded as the Spiritual essence condensed into a pill .

An alien-like aroma filled the pavilion as everyone looked at the pill made by Yang Xin as if it was a treasure passed down through the entire generations .

Zhu Mei didn't complete her pill as she stopped with ingredients just going to waste. She walked towards Yang Xin and just kowtowed to her . In front of everyone Zhu Mei " The Prodigy " kowtowed to someone showing that she didn't care what others thought of her as she admitted her skills were inferior to Yang Xin's .

No one dared to speak as everyone in the reverse pagoda bowed their heads towards Yang Xin . While prideful the people of the toxic forest dedicated their lives towards Alchemy and Yang Xin's performance was something they couldn't forget even if they wanted to as everyone bowed their heads admitting that they were not worthy of being Yang Xin's equal . Everyone from the basic Alchemist Apprentice to the Alchemist Masters and even the Grandmasters could be seen bowing towards Yang Xin who just stood there awkwardly , not knowing what to do next .

" Miss Yang Xin , bow your head towards them "

Hearing Euronymous's advice , Yang Xin bowed towards the crowd as

( ~ Clap ~ )

( ~ Clap ~ )

( ~ Clap ~ )

No one knows who started it but the entire reverse pagoda was filled with the thunderous roar of praises and applause towards Yang Xin .

When one bows to another it means that they admit themselves to be inferior to the other but when the other also bows then it is a sign of humility and character that the other doesn't view his opponent as someone beneath them .

Gu Yuan and a few other elders walked towards Yang Xin who had turned bright red from all the compliments coming from all around her .

Gu Yuan and the elders took to one knee as they presented a golden talisman towards Yang Xin .

Euronymous whispered into Yang Xin's ear ," Miss Yang Xin , that golden talisman shows that the Grandmaster admits that you are superior to him in skill ."

Yang Xin's eyes widened as with her shaking hands she grasped the golden talismans .

Everyone cleared a path for Yang Xin towards the lower level of the reverse pagoda as in their eyes she was worthy of being a disciple of the Chieftain " Baba Yaga ".

It was just that the other 17 Alchemist Grandmasters stood in her way as obstacles she needed to overcome .

Yang Xin continued to walk as Euronymous slipped a jade slip with an extremely complex runes made out of the Law of Lightning into her hands while whispering ," Miss Yang Xin , Place this above your dantian and inject soul force into it ."

Yang Xin nodded fully trusting Euronymous as she continued to go down the flight of stairs towards her next obstacles .
