Chapter 2843: Chapter 2843: Sincere Intentions

Although the Pill Master competition has not yet concluded, with two high-rank Divine King realm alchemists guaranteeing it, Fang Bai has already securely obtained an entry pass to the Divine Medicine Valley.

The two high-rank Divine King realm alchemists wished to take Fang Bai as their disciple, but despite Fang Bai’s refusal, they were not deterred.

Encountering such an outstandingly talented, potential-filled alchemist like Fang Bai, how could they easily let him go?

They decided to wait until the competition ended to offer generous conditions to lure him, believing Fang Bai would eventually be tempted.

"I thought you would accept their offer, but you rejected it... you act quite unexpectedly, don’t you?"

After Fang Bai finished refining pills and returned to his spot from the center of the square, Great Might Divine King used the Voice Transmission Technique to speak to him.

Fang Bai smiled slightly and used the Voice Transmission Technique to reply to the Great Might Divine King: "This is what you call ’luring with bait’. I hope they will offer better terms. Of course, the terms I refer to include them crafting a Creation Pill for the Divine King realm for you."

Upon hearing this, Great Might Divine King was filled with gratitude and said emotionally: "Fang Bai, thank you for thinking of me. Letting Rongrong become your Dao partner was the wisest decision of my life!"

Fang Bai replied: "It’s my duty, don’t mention it."

Great Might Divine King glanced at the two high-rank Divine King realm alchemists and asked Fang Bai, "Do you have any thoughts? Which of the two alchemists do you plan to apprentice under?"

He felt Fang Bai’s dilemma, thinking that both alchemists were high-rank Divine King level, and choosing to follow one might offend the other.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Just as they pick and choose their disciples, I also choose my master in the same manner. I will judge their character, cultivation level, and alchemy technique before deciding!"

Knowing he could not intervene, Great Might Divine King advised Fang Bai to choose carefully and then turned his attention to the other alchemists at the center of the square.

Following Fang Bai, two other dual attribute innate spiritual root alchemists also crafted Divine Venerable realm Marrow Cleansing Pills.

However, neither the speed of refining, pill completion rate, nor the grade of divine pills could compare to Fang Bai.

Therefore, although the Pill Master competition was not over, all alchemists understood that Fang Bai was firmly in the lead, holding a ticket to the Divine Medicine Valley.

Three days later, the first Pill Master competition ended, and Fang Bai, along with two other alchemists, successfully obtained the entry pass to the Divine Medicine Valley. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

The subsequent two competitions were held among the initial and mid-rank Divine King realm alchemists.

These competitions lasted well over ten days, and eventually, six Divine King realm alchemists earned their place in the Divine Medicine Valley.

Thus, all nine spots to enter the Divine Medicine Valley were filled.

The nine alchemists, including Fang Bai, who won the entry to the Divine Medicine Valley, were naturally overjoyed.

However, the alchemists who did not win lowered their heads in dejection, both envious and wary of the nine winners.

After announcing the end of the competition, the two high-rank Divine King realm alchemists, along with the Tianlin Star System’s Sect Leader, summoned Fang Bai and the other eight alchemists to the Sect Leader Mansion.

It was only then that Fang Bai learned the robust-looking one’s title was Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist, and the elder with white hair and beard’s title was Nourishing Essence Alchemist.

Both alchemists had comparable cultivation and strength. Although they had been acquainted for many years, they maintained a competitive relationship, each trying to outdo the other to prove their superiority.

However, Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist was more blunt and domineering, both righteous and evil, having many friends and strong enemies, a rather controversial alchemist.

In contrast, Nourishing Essence Alchemist was more gentle and benevolent, enjoyed mentoring juniors, was widely connected, and welcomed by many strong figures.

Both had numerous disciples under them, whose influence rivaled that of the Sect Leader Mansion.

This was one of the reasons the Sect Leader Mansion paid them their due respect.

"Fang Bai, you are a rare genius in the alchemy realm, and I sincerely wish to take you as my disciple and pass on my knowledge to you... Don’t refuse immediately; consider it carefully!"

Nourishing Essence Alchemist cheerfully looked at Fang Bai, stroking his beard as he spoke.

"Become my disciple, and I promise you the best cultivation resources, along with imparting all my alchemy techniques to you. In the future, the forces under my command will also be handed over to you. How about it? My sincerity is genuine, just waiting for your nod!"

Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist gazed at Fang Bai with a confident look.

Fang Bai unhurriedly replied, "I ask for the benediction of both Upper Gods to let me consider for a moment."

Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist impatiently said, "How long will you consider? Opportunities like these are rare, don’t miss it!"

But Nourishing Essence Alchemist said, "Taking a master is no small matter, caution is necessary. Let’s discuss it after you return from the Divine Medicine Valley, okay?"

Fang Bai nodded with a smile.

The Divine Medicine Valley is tens of thousands of miles away from Tianlin City. On this day, Fang Bai and the other eight alchemists granted access to the valley appeared at the entrance, accompanied by Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist, Nourishing Essence Alchemist, and the Tianlin Sect Master.

The Divine Medicine Valley was jointly occupied by the Sect Leader Mansion, Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist, and Nourishing Essence Alchemist, each sending their forces to guard it.

In the entire Tianlin Star System, no force dared to contend with the Sect Leader Mansion and the other two, so the Divine Medicine Valley remained peaceful and undisturbed by outsiders for many years.

"Greetings, three Upper Gods."

When the Sect Leader Mansion Lord, Heaven Overload Cauldron Alchemist, and the alchemists reached the Divine Medicine Valley, the strongmen under the three guarding forces came forward to pay their respects.

The three strongmen exchanged a few words, then the Sect Leader Mansion Lord announced, "The sixty-year cycle of the Pill Master competition has ended, and the nine alchemists who have qualified to enter the Divine Medicine Valley have been determined. Now, open the passage for their one-day entrance."

The Divine Medicine Valley stretches over a hundred thousand miles, enveloped in a massive barrier, and remains closed, making its herbs flourish abundantly, greatly attracting alchemists from all sides.

It opens only for one day after the sixty-year interval competition, allowing nine alchemists to gather divine herbs.

Divine beasts usually guard near the divine medicine, making gathering them challenging.

Thus, although nine alchemists have a whole day, if unlucky, they might end up empty-handed, returning without any gain.

This had happened in the past, and many alchemists who qualified to enter the valley wasted their opportunity.

Therefore, subsequent alchemists learned to target less valuable herbs, making it easier to defeat the guarding divine beasts and not leave the valley empty-handed.
