Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1976

Chapter 1976: 1976

As Jiang Chen expected, six sacred lands showed initial interest in Gongxi Hu . Soon however, the other sacred lands were deterred by the fierceness with which the Flora Sacred Land fought for the young genius and opted out .

Flora’s aggression was intimidating, and their promises impossibly generous .

Fortunately, the first prime of the Eternal Sacred Land had also made a generous offer as per Jiang Chen’s instructions . The haughty genius must have been remarkable in some aspect for Jiang Chen to give her such serious advice .

Most geniuses were proud and somewhat quirky . Gongxi Hu was no exception . There was nothing wrong with having a strong personality as long as it didn’t come back to bite him .

Everyone had young and reckless spate in their youth .

The competition for Gongxi Hu quickly grew fierce . Other sacred lands had given up one after another, leaving Eternal in a gridlock with Flora .

Enraged by Eternal’s interference, Flora made increasingly generous offers .

Eternal gave as good as they got .

In the end, both made as good an offer as they could . It all came down to which side could give the better sales pitch .

Flora cut right to the chase . “We can tell you have a wood spirit constitution, Gongxi Hu, and that you’re partial to refining pills . The Flora Sacred Land is well known in Myriad Abyss for our foundation in pill dao . If you join us, you’ll get the best resources and receive the best guidance . What’s more, we’ll consider you one of the top most geniuses and treat you accordingly . ”

Flora’s appreciation for Gongxi Hu was apparent .

However, the young man remained calm and didn’t so much as blink . A lazy, noncommittal smile was his only reaction . He shifted his gaze to the Eternal Sacred Land, waiting for them to speak up .

The first prime smiled . “Gongxi Hu, there aren’t a lot of young men with a personality like yours, but you’re the kind of genius we want the most . I’ll get straight to the point . Master Shi Xuan, the pill sovereign Flora was most proud of, serves us as a pill slave . Flora claims to be the dominant faction in pill dao, but the Taiyi Skymender and Crowning Empyrean Pill, which are the hot topic of Myriad Abyss, aren’t their work . ”

After a pause, she added, “They were developed by us . ”

Her response was meant to antagonize, but Eternal and Flora had never been on friendly terms . The fight for the young geniuses was riling up both sides . It was only natural that the first prime would disregard her manners and go hard on Flora .

Flora quickly retorted, “You simply got lucky and stumbled upon two ancient recipes . What else do you have? You have no basic knowledge in pill dao, no robust pill dao discipline, or a mature education system for pill dao experts . To be frank, you’re nothing but an upstart newcomer in pill dao! You have the Taiyi Skymender Pill and the Crowning Empyrean Pill, but we’ll one day reverse-engineer the pills and refine them . ”

They had torn down the thin veil of civility between the sacred lands .

But Jiang Chen was perturbed .

Originally, he’d planned to stay out of the fight and let the two sacred lands do their thing . However, as the creator of the two pills, of course he’d be displeased with the way Flora talked about his work .

“Wait a minute . ” Jiang Chen stroked his chin with a half smile . “I can’t help but notice the flaws in your response . What do you mean by a lack of discipline and an education system? What do you mean by an upstart newcomer in pill dao?”

The representative of Flora scoffed derisively . “You know what I mean . ”

“Alright, let’s put that aside and assume you’re simply jealous,” Jiang Chen said coolly . “Did you say you’d one day refine the Taiyi Skymender and Crowning Empyrean Pills?”

“That’s right! People like you won’t understand our illustrious history in pill dao . ” The man from Flora was very prideful .

Jiang Chen laughed . “Dream on! Let me put it this way, you aren’t going to successfully refine the pills in a hundred - no, a thousand years . ” He made his contempt clear .

“You… you’re arrogant, young man! A thousand years? Do you honestly think your pills are that good?”

“Oh, they are,” Jiang Chen said with a smile . “I was being conservative in my estimation . Given your capability, you won’t be able to refine the pills even after several millennia . ”

The Crowning Empyrean Pill was considered a premium pill even in the heavenly planes . There were only a handful of people who could refine it .

The Taiyi Skymender Pill wasn’t as complicated . Refining a Crowning Empyrean Pill, on the other hand, required exceptional attention to detail . No one in the Flora Sacred Land would be capable of doing it .

That, Jiang Chen could guarantee .

He’d competed with Master Shi Xuan and knew the pill sovereign’s ability . Since Shi Xuan set the bar of the Flora Sacred Land, that gave Jiang Chen a good idea about their pill dao .

Gongxi Hu listened to the two sacred lands argue with great interest . He was enjoying the show . Cackling, he turned to the Flora Sacred Land and shrugged .

“My apologies, it seems that the Flora Sacred Land is on the losing side . According to my analysis, you may have once been the top pill dao faction in Myriad Abyss, but no more . Young lord Jiang Chen’s outstanding talent forces me to reevaluate Eternal’s pill dao . Even if both factions are on equal footing, the young lord’s charisma alone gives Eternal an edge . ”

“So!” Gongxi Hu pulled his lips into an infuriating grin . “I choose the Eternal Sacred Land . I want to be close to senior brother Jiang Chen’s charisma . ”

He was calling Jiang Chen a senior brother even before joining .

The first prime’s eyes lit up with delight . They were not only getting a new genius, but also striking a blow on the Flora Sacred Land!

The Eternal Sacred Land had defeated Flora head-on in the conflict . Nothing felt better than that .

All the attention the Flora Sacred Land had gotten before didn’t matter . The Eternal Sacred Land had won a crucial battle! The first prime couldn’t be more pleased .
