True Martial World - Chapter 1191

Chapter 1191

"Hey old senior, I have already refined the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid, so do I need to finish refining the Jade Spirit Pill?"

Despite knowing that she had smacked Guiyuan Zhen in the face, she continued to show no mercy . She deliberately ridiculed Guiyuan Zhen by emphasizing the words 'old senior . ’

Guiyuan Zhen's expression turned pale . He froze in his spot like a sculpture, having no way to pose a rebuttal .

It was like a scholar having prepared an embroidered piece of literature, hoping to compete with a rival in the field . Yet he suddenly realized his rival was an eminent scholar who had tomes of classic literature in his cabinets . All of a sudden, his embroidered literature was nothing but scrap paper in the eyes of his rival .

Guiyuan Zhen felt the sting of instant defeat . The recipe he was proud of was as ordinary as any other in the eyes of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect .

"What bullies! This isn't a display of alchemical skill . It was all about the flame being better than ours . What sort of heritage is that? How dare she label us as nouveau riche? They are the ones that are nouveau riche!"

Zhang Xiaotian was infuriated . It was supposed to be a discussion of technique, but it ended up being the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect showcasing the foundations the sect enjoyed . It made Guiyuan Zhen, and all the doctors and alchemists present, feel their faces tingle with pain . It felt like they had been literally slapped in the face .

Although the red-dressed girl had asked Guiyuan Zhen the question, her arrogant gaze swept over everyone's faces .

She obviously knew that Guiyuan Zhen had only taken center stage to represent the doctors and alchemists of Myriad City . Many of them were not convinced of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect .

"Oh? You say that this isn't an alchemical skill?" The red-dressed girl suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaotian . His angry grumbles had been caught by the red-dressed girl amid the noisy crowd .

"Then, what alchemical skills do you have? Feel free to demonstrate them . I can compete with you without using the Extreme Frost-ice Flame . If you can do something that I can't, I am willing to admit defeat!" The red-dressed girl said as she looked at Zhang Xiaotian .

Zhang Xiaotian momentarily fell silent . Seeing the many gazes trained on him, his face gradually flushed red .

Although he had spoken in a fit of anger, he didn’t have the confidence to compete with the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect's genius in a competition of pure skill, barring any foundational advantages .

Seeing Zhang Xiaotian shrink back, the red-dressed girl gave a contemptuous smile . The smile seemed to stab at Zhang Xiaotian .

"People without true ability are only sitting here to make up the numbers . To think they, in their mediocrity, have the nerve to be envious of geniuses . " The red-dressed girl said as she looked up into the sky .

"Enough, Yue'er . Sit down!" Skyfire Sacred Hands spoke . They came from the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect after all . They naturally needed to conduct themselves like a large and respectable sect .

It was enough to let these people know how formidable they were . Skyfire Sacred Hands had no interest in figuratively slapping the faces of these ordinary doctors and alchemists .

"Hmph!" The red-dressed girl gave an insufferably arrogant glance at Zhang Xiaotian and Guiyuan Zhen before withdrawing her cauldron and returning to her seat .

The color of Zhang Xiaotian's face oscillated between red and white . His entire body trembled with rage .

After a while, he shook his head wryly . "Whatever . I'm inferior . "

In fact, there were many people who shared in Zhang Xiaotian’s humiliation . The last words the red-dressed girl said were not only directed at Zhang Xiaotian .

But in the end, they had no superior alchemical skills they could use to prove themselves . That was what humiliated them the most .

At that moment, Pavilion Lord Si broke the ice . "Since everyone is already so eager to try, why don't I bring out the infected disciples of my Myriad Immortal Pavilion now, and let all the doctors diagnose them?"

Since it was a medical diagnosis, there was naturally no need for a particular order . Everyone could diagnose the symptoms, and from there see who could come up with a cure .

The Myriad Immortal Pavilion had prepared rewards for the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet . The doctors and alchemists present all knew about them, but Pavilion Lord Si repeated them again .

"Whosoever finds the cure to this plague will be allowed to choose any one of the many treasures my Myriad Immortal Pavilion has prepared . "

Boxes were taken out carefully by more than ten beautiful female attendants . They carried them over and stood behind Pavilion Lord Si in a line .

As Pavilion Lord Si mentioned the various treasures, a female attendant would open the corresponding box, revealing the spiritual treasures that effused rich spiritual energies .

And when Pavilion Lord Si mentioned 'Soul Returning Root', Yi Yun's pupils constricted .

Soul Returning Root!

The Soul Returning Root was added by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion into the mix as bait . And Yi Yun had come here precisely for the Soul Returning Root .

Upon seeing the Soul Returning Root in the box, Yi Yun felt his heart burn . The Soul Returning Root was even better than the one Ru'er's father had obtained . It was of even better quality .

After mentioning the Soul Returning Root, Pavilion Lord Si momentarily paused .

He naturally knew the uses of the Soul Returning Root . In fact, before the plague became full-blown, they had already begun searching for it . However, it was unrealistic to use the Soul Returning Root to attract Yi Yun to such a busy event . In the grand scheme of things, it was purely a reward .

As Pavilion Lord Si's voice faded, more than ten Myriad Immortal Pavilion geniuses stood on the stage . One of them was Si Shaoyu .

The moment Si Shaoyu reached the stage, he cast a fervent look at Skyfire Sacred Hands and his disciples .

Back when the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect first arrived, he expressed his hopes for Skyfire Sacred Hands to diagnose him . Yet, he had been rejected . He had anxiously waited for the day the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet began .

Upon seeing the Myriad Immortal Pavilion geniuses appear, a few disciples from the large sects could not help but break out into a discussion . The Myriad Immortal Pavilion was truly eager . However, since they were the ones hosting the meet, it was only normal that their geniuses were the first to be treated .

As for the geniuses from the other sects, they had to pay the price when their time came . They would need to convince the doctor that had found the cure to treat them .

After the recent display, many people from these factions turned their attention to the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect . They placed their hopes on Skyfire Sacred Hands .

"Everyone, please begin," said Pavilion Lord Si .

Zhang Xiaotian widened his eyes as he stared at the infected youths on the stage . In fact, he had long been attempting to find a cure, but to no avail .

However, after feeling stifled from the turn of events, he refused to give up hope and went onstage to take a look . After using his Yuan Qi to probe a body, he returned dejectedly . He shook his head and said, "Sigh, I can only tell that they have been enervated of their Yuan Qi and that they have weak bodies . I can't even guess the cause of the illness . "

The other doctors and alchemists had also made prior attempts . They had completely given up . They came only to witness the grand meet . In the end, it was the alchemists and doctors from other territories that went up to take a look . Some of them shook their heads helplessly while others pondered with furrowed brows .

The cause of the plague could only be detected by the patriarchs of these factions . It was difficult for these doctors and alchemists to even find the cause .

Upon seeing this play out, many factions were somewhat disappointed . Although they held little hopes for these doctors and alchemists, they had wished for a sliver of luck . Now, from the looks of it, the plague was too odd . If the cause of the illness could not be found, how were they to treat it?
