CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 260: DARKNESS, CELESTIAL DOCTOR? TESTING THE ELIXIR SCROLL!

With the help of the Sword God, the outcome of this second match seems to be without suspense.

Every member of the Pill Saint faction is beaming with joy.

They have already won the first match; if they win this second one, the position of the Pavilion Master will be certain!

"Hmph!"

Just then, with a cold expression, Li Chang strode forward and scanned everyone below the pill platform,

"Since the Sword God is present, why doesn’t he appear?"

"Is it that my Celestial Pill Pavilion isn’t worthy, or is the Sword God himself not really here!"

Hearing this, Jun Yu’s eyes lit up, and he echoed, "Exactly, who here has ever seen this Emperial Sword artifact?"

"Just because your Pill Saint faction says it’s true, does that make it true?"

"Why not have Sword God Su appear in person; then we’ll naturally be convinced!"

After speaking, both Jun Yu and Li Chang sneered coldly, looking downward.

Is this Emperial Sword fake?

Of course not!

The terrifying fluctuations of sword intent—other than the current Sword Emperor Sect Leader, no one could possibly wield it.

But so what? Would Su Changqing dare to show himself?

Currently, cultivators across the entire continent are searching for him. If Su Changqing dares to appear, he definitely won’t walk out of Celestial Pill City!

And it is precisely because Jun Yu and Li Chang understood this that they claimed the Emperial Sword was fake!

As long as the real person doesn’t appear, they won’t admit defeat. Who can say they’re wrong?

At this moment, the strong experts present also realized it.

They didn’t say anything, just scanned the cultivators with their flickering eyes.

Compared to the election of the Celestial Pill Pavilion Master, the ’key’ to the Imperial Tomb was clearly more intriguing to them.

"Too much deceit!"

Ye Jingshan laughed in anger upon hearing this, "Everyone knows the current plight of Sword God Su, right?"

"Him giving us the honor of his presence is already showing face to our Celestial Pill Pavilion."

"Now, you demand the Sword God himself appear. What’s your intention!"

Chu Xi and the Pill Saint faction also angrily looked at the Pill King and others.

"Ha, when the situation benefits you, of course you’d talk this way."

Li Chang sneered and then cupped his hands to the void and said:

"Old Pavilion Master, if the Sword God shows himself, my Pill King faction will concede."

"But if he doesn’t, just relying on an artifact, we cannot accept!"

The resounding voice echoed, causing the scene to fall silent for a moment.

Everyone looked around, wanting to see if the legendary Sword God would appear.

"Sword God Su, could you reveal yourself?"

The Old Pavilion Master seemed to ponder, and after a long while, his aged and hesitant voice slowly resounded.

Below.

"Ha, this so-called Pill King is sharp-tongued indeed."

Xuan Yan chuckled and then looked at Su Changqing, asking, "Do you want to reveal your identity?"

"Don’t worry, the Profound Pure Sect will protect you."

Su Changqing hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but after seeing the flickering gazes of the countless cultivators present, he shook his head and said:

"Forget it, if I reveal myself, although the Pill Saint might win the Pavilion Master position, it would cause major trouble later."

"If the cultivators of the world can’t find me, they might turn to Chu Xi and Pill Saint senior."

Merely presenting the artifact could only indicate some acquaintance between Su Changqing and Ye Jingshan.

But if Su Changqing’s true self stood up for the Pavilion Master issue, then the relationship between the two would be deepened.

Su Changqing had the arrays and the Celestial Spirit Transformation Skill and naturally wasn’t afraid.

But the Pill Saint and Chu Xi might be implicated because of this.

"This kid..."

Upon hearing this reasoning, Xuan Yan’s gaze on Su Changqing changed, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart,

"A pure heart and a benevolent nature, how exactly did Su Nan cultivate such a character?"

He initially thought Su Changqing wouldn’t reveal himself due to concern for his own safety.

But he never imagined Su Changqing was worried about implicating others because of his own matters.

He had been mingling in the world of cultivation for a lifetime, but someone like Su Changqing... is so rare.

...

And with the Old Pavilion Master’s words hanging in the air, Su Changqing did not appear.

The other party seemed to have considered for a long time, and finally, the aged voice sounded again.

"This round, it’s a tie."

Upon hearing this result, everyone couldn’t help but nod.

The election for the Celestial Pill Pavilion Master was still very fair.

The connections of Ye Jingshan’s side were clearly much weaker than Li Chang and the others.

Although they had the Sword God involved, the real person hadn’t appeared, but the Pill King faction had true quasi-Emperors and Great Saints backing them.

Considering everything comprehensively, a draw for this round seemed the most fair.

"The final round, test alchemical coexistence with the Pill Scroll!"

The Old Pavilion Master didn’t delay and directly announced the start of the next round.

Bang!

With those words, a brilliant, glass-like shadow of the Pill Scroll descended from the void.

The Pill Scroll was a hundred feet high, shimmering with silver light, and exuded a peculiar medicinal fragrance that spread across Celestial Pill City, permeating heaven and earth.

On top of its Pill Scroll, endless arcane Dao patterns were engraved, and exotic, unidentifiable divine flowers and celestial herbs flashed occasionally.

"Is that the legendary Pill Scroll? It seems to be a supreme treasure!"

"Nonsense! It’s said that all the world’s pill recipes originated from this Pill Scroll, it’s the supreme treasure of the Alchemy Dao!"

"Gasp... If one comprehends this entire Pill Scroll, could they become a Pill Emperor?"

"Heh, how’s that possible, from ancient times to now, no one has reached a five-tenths compatibility..."

With the appearance of the legendary artifact from the Alchemy Dao, the crowd couldn’t help but excitedly discuss it.

There were too many legends surrounding the Pill Scroll.

According to records, just comprehending five-tenths of the Pill Scroll could allow one to achieve the Dao of Pill Emperor.

And those pill recipes cherished and treasured by countless pill masters were all passed down from the Pill Scroll.

In the Alchemy Dao, the Pavilion Master is never as important as this Pill Scroll!

Meanwhile, with the appearance of the Pill Scroll’s shadow, Su Changqing’s face involuntarily changed below the platform.

"This is..."

He looked at his Life Palace, where the always lifeless and calm Celestial Doctor’s strange scroll suddenly started to tremble violently.
