Yin Yang Heavenly Emperor Technique

"What?!"

Ji Baicao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Click, click...

On the charred, lifeless pill, crisp cracking sounds rang out one after another, like ice cracking.

Spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread across the surface of the pill.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the charred shell peeled off inch by inch!

Suddenly, countless rays of light burst forth from beneath the shattered black shell!

boom!!!

A fragrance several times stronger than when Ji Baicao had made the pill before swept out like a storm, instantly filling the entire Shenyan City!

All the cultivators who smelled the fragrance of the elixir felt their minds clear and their spiritual energy subtly become more active.

In the center of the square, above the deep crater blasted by the lightning tribulation, a golden pill was slowly rising into the air.

It was perfectly round, as if cast from gold, its surface shimmering with iridescent light and emanating auspicious energy. Around it, magnificent phenomena intertwined and emerged, such as blooming divine lotuses, coiling golden dragons, and the cries of celestial phoenixes, as if this were not a pill, but a newly created miniature world!

It shines upon the heavens and the earth, like a radiant sun hanging in the human world!

"This guy actually refined an eighth-grade Divine Illumination Pill?"

On the upper floor, Mu Qingling's delicate body trembled slightly, and her stunningly beautiful eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement and shock.

She made the right bet!

This boy is not a fraud, but a true prodigy!

Even Ling Cang, the alchemy prodigy whom Wanbaolou had painstakingly cultivated, was completely overshadowed by this person, his brilliance dimmed, like a firefly vying for the moon's glory!

"An eighth-grade spirit pill has actually been refined! The Eastern Wilderness has gained another young Pill Emperor!"

"Heavens! A pill destroyed yet reborn, undergoing tribulation to become a god! Such a miraculous alchemy technique is simply unheard of!"

"Just who is this Feng Qing? I dare say he is no ordinary person; his background is probably even more terrifying than that of Luo Mo, the successor of the Pill Saint!"

"Even a Pill Saint might not be able to teach a disciple like this. Could this Feng Qing come from some reclusive, mysterious ancient lineage?"

"..."

After the deathly silence, the entire Dan Dao Square was plunged into an unprecedented frenzy.

Countless gazes converged on the composed young figure, filled with awe and fervor.

"Damn it! How could this happen?!"

Ji Baicao's face was extremely ugly, ashen, as if she had swallowed a dead fly.

He was just one step away, just a tiny bit away, from crushing Wanbaolou's reputation and winning the championship of the Pill King Tournament, thus making a great contribution to the Qianji Chamber of Commerce!

But who could have imagined that this unexpected upstart would pull off such a stunning comeback at the last moment!

But he was still not satisfied!

"Miss Mu!" Ji Baicao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the jealousy in her heart, and shouted loudly, "Brother Feng Qing and I both refined eighth-grade spirit pills. According to the rules of the competition, we should be tied for first place!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Many people cast disdainful glances at Ji Baicao's shamelessness.

Anyone with eyes can see that, whether it's the extraordinary phenomena of pill formation or the richness of the pill's fragrance, Qin Feng's Divine Illumination Pill is far superior to Ji Baicao's Spirit Nourishing Pill.

A steward from Wanbaolou immediately frowned and retorted, "Ji Baicao, don't try to argue! The Spirit Nourishing Pill you refined is merely an ordinary Grade 8 spiritual pill. But what young friend Feng Qing refined is the Divine Illumination Pill! This pill can repair hidden injuries to even an emperor's Great Dao; it's a sacred healing medicine, far surpassing the value and rarity of your Spirit Nourishing Pill!"

"Value?" Upon hearing this, Ji Baicao seemed to grasp at a straw, and sneered, "When the rules were announced, they only said that the competition would be based on the grade of the pills, but they didn't say that the value would also be considered! Now that I'm both at the eighth grade and tied for first place, what's wrong with that?"

Mu Qingling frowned slightly.

She secretly thought to herself that things were not going well. In order to keep things simple, she hadn't explained the rules in too much detail, but she hadn't expected that this person would take advantage of the loophole.

If a tie for first place is decided today, Wanbaolou will still lose face and become a laughing stock that has benefited Qianji Merchant Guild!

Just when she was in a dilemma.

A detached voice drifted out.

"Tie for first place?"

Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, a half-smile playing on his lips, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over Ji Baicao.

"What makes you think you can be ranked alongside me?"

"What did you say?"

Ji Baicao's expression darkened, and just as she was about to lash out, the Divine Illumination Pill, which was suspended in the air, suddenly shone brightly!

Five crystal-clear golden runes, resembling divine patterns of the Great Dao, slowly emerged on the surface of the golden pill!

The interplay of red patterns exudes a harmonious, flawless, and perfect Daoist charm!

"Five...five Dan patterns?"

"This is... the Perfect Divine Illumination Pill?"

Up in the attic, Mu Qingling could no longer remain calm. Her cherry-like mouth, big enough to fit an egg, let out an incredulous gasp.

The rebuttal that Ji Baicao was about to utter caught in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word. His eyes widened, staring intently at the five glaring crimson lines, and the color drained from his face in an instant!

Perfect quality!

This kid actually refined a perfect grade eight elixir!

That pitiful controversy was completely crushed to dust!

Ji Baicao's lips trembled, her face was ashen, and she collapsed to the ground as if all her energy had been drained away.

He knew he had lost.

A crushing defeat, utterly humiliated!

After a long silence, Mu Qingling's voice, trembling slightly with excitement yet crystal clear, resounded throughout the entire venue!

"I hereby declare!"

"The champion of this year's Pill King Tournament is—"

Her gaze was fixed intently on that aloof figure, and she spoke, word by word:

"Windbreaker!"

"Congratulations, Pill King Feng Qing!"

On the plaza, countless alchemy prodigies from the Eastern Wilderness bowed respectfully to Qin Feng, their eyes filled with heartfelt admiration.

From this day forward, the name Feng Qing will surely resound throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness!

"Damn brat, you ruined my plans! The Thousand Machine Merchant Guild will remember you!"

Ji Baicao's face turned ashen. The duck that was about to be caught had flown away. This kid had ruined the Qianji Chamber of Commerce's important plans!

Qin Feng didn't take Ji Baicao's threat seriously at all; she was just a nobody who couldn't cause any trouble.

"You dare threaten my esteemed guest right in front of Wanbaolou? Ji Baicao, you have some nerve!"

Mu Qingling gave a cold laugh, then a glint of cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Guards, throw this person out of the venue as a warning to others!"

"You dare..."

Before Ji Baicao could finish speaking, a king from Wanbaolou suddenly made a move, capturing Ji Baicao like a chicken, and then throwing her out of Shenyan City like trash!
