Limitless - Chapter 189: 100,000 Top Quality Spiritual Stones

All of their eyes were glued on the lady’s expression on the screen.

The traces of awe were clearly the result of her trying to control her emotions but to no avail.

The picture on the screen was too clear, even the pores on the lady’s face could be seen clearly!

Her white and exquisite face began to twitch unconsciously as her lips trembled.

Her hands were also shivering slightly and her eyes turned red. A crystal mist began to form in her eyes.

"In this world… pills which have completely sealed all the medicinal properties within, do exist…"

The lady murmured to herself. In that moment, these ugly pills became the most perfect pills in her eyes!

Their shape… was a little awkward, but upon closer inspection, these pills were engraved extremely intricately, more beautiful than any painting in this world.

Who said that pills must be circular?

When the lady thought of what Chu Yu said, she could not help but laugh bitterly.

Indeed, who had set such a rule?

When she thought about how she had pursued perfection in her pills’ appearance previously, she could not help but feel extremely immature.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. In the end, she walked to Chu Yu and bowed deeply.

"Sensei Song, Yue Xiu was unable to see the power of what you did, please forgive me."

This was the first time the lady had revealed her name. Previously, she was too arrogant and didn’t think that she would have anymore interactions with these people.

Even though she had utterly lost the pill refining competition, the pride in her bones was not even shaved by half.

She had thought that she had lost because she was being played. She had challenged them at what they were best at.

However, in the deep sea, the dragon reigned supreme!

In the highest mountains, the tiger was still king!

So what if they lost? So what if she would be punished when she returned?

She was still a teacher in the reputable Wafting Fragrance School, and her status was far higher than most people.

Many of these people would not even reach my standing in their entire lives whilst I… will only go higher.

Now, her arrogance and confidence disappeared in front of this man.

At this point, the arena was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Even the Principal of the Purple Cloud School looked at Chu Yu, speechless.

Everyone was wondering, Is that incredibly ugly batch of pills really superior pills?

Could it be that this sensei from the Pill Refining Section really had such terrifying abilities? So much so that even the Wafting Fragrance School had to bend over backwards for him?

"Now, do you want to buy it?" Chu Yu looked at the lady, "How about this, since you provided the ingredients, you can take half of it, the rest will be mine. How about that?"

"How can that be right?" The attractive lady shook her head, "Sensei, you are a Guru, I had overestimated my own abilities and I can’t get over it. Preparing the ingredients for pill refining is a rule in the cultivation world. As such, I can’t take away half, and I must compensate you fairly for what I do take."

As Yue Xiu spoke, she retrieved a storage ring and presented it to Chu Yu with both hands, "Inside are 100,000 top quality spiritual stones. I will use this to buy the three pills. Of course, for such quality, this is not sufficient. I will get someone to send you the rest of your payment when I return."　　

Hiss!

.

Yue Xiu said this for all to hear, and her serious expression could be seen by all.

She had provided the ingredients, yet even 100,000 top quality spiritual stones were insufficient to buy three pills!

100,000 top quality spiritual stones was a fortune!

Even the Purple Cloud School Principal, with all his years at the helm of the school, was unable to produce 100,000 top quality spiritual stones.

Spiritual stones were split into four grades, low quality, mediocre quality, top quality, and best quality.

100 low quality spiritual stones contained energy equivalent to one mediocre quality spiritual stone; 100 mediocre quality spiritual stones contained energy equivalent to one top quality spiritual stone.

As for the difference between a top quality spiritual stone and the best quality spiritual stone, that disparity was even larger. 1000 top quality spiritual stones equated to about one best quality spiritual stone.

With 100,000 top quality spiritual stones, Chu Yu could exchange them for 100 best quality spiritual stones!

However, if he changed them for the ordinary low quality spiritual stones used by cultivators, one top quality spiritual stone could exchange for 10000 low quality ones.

With 100,000 on hand, wasn’t that an astronomically high number?

Yet, such a fortune was still insufficient according to what the lady had said!

The attractive lady continued, "Ordinarily, these three pills will fetch over 300,000 top quality spiritual stones at an auction. Due to their superior quality, they could be worth even more."

Her gaze swept over the entire arena and she said flatly, "This is because a single pill equates to one Divine Lord! Is one Divine Lord not worth 100,000 top quality spiritual stones?"

Worth it, of course it was worth it!

Even if it required 1 million top quality spiritual stones… it would still be worth it!

Without even considering the immense jump in power between the True Lord and Divine Lord realms, the fortune a Divine Lord could amass… was many times more!

A powerful cultivator could amass a fortune over the years.

Chu Yu took the storage ring and winced in his heart.

These people are really not easy!

News that he had such a fortune on him would spread quickly.

People are greedy by nature… he knew that many people would be jealous and tempted by his wealth of spirit stones.

Then, they would take a look at his cultivation level. He was just a King’s Realm cultivator.

Even without considering those in the True Lord Realm, even a Supreme Realm cultivator would think that he was an easy picking.

This fortune was like a hot potato.

Once you had it in your hands, countless eyes will be on you.

However, even if he didn’t accept it, he would be wanted for his abilities.

As such, Yue Xiu’s actions were clearly a set up, a huge set up to harm Chu Yu.

At this point, Yue Xiu used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Sensei can keep this fortune in various vaults. Also, if you ever have any problems, you can find me, my contact is…"

After she finished, Yue Xiu continued, "The Purple Cloud School is too small. With your ability, you should not be contained here. If you are willing, the Wafting Fragrance School welcomes you anytime!"

At this point, Chu Yu finally understood why she gave him the 100,000 spiritual stones.

She wanted him to give up staying here!

"It’s okay, we are still enemies after all." Chu Yu replied using the Voice Transmission Technique as he retrieved another two pills and handed them over.

"We were before, now we are not." Yue Xiu looked deeply into Chu Yu’s eyes, kept the three True Soul Pills and said her goodbye.

She didn’t even bother greeting the Principal of the Purple Cloud School.

The Wafting Fragrance School left in a hurry. The three True Soul Pills were the key to three of their True Lords attaining the Divine Lord Realm.

　

With such stakes, they did not want to risk news of this leaking out and they headed back home as fast as they could.

As for the nine remaining True Soul Pills in Chu Yu’s furnace… those were his problem!

In Yue Xiu’s opinion, the Purple Cloud School had no way of protecting a pill refiner of Song Hong’s calibre. However, she was not certain that Song Hong would join the Wafting Fragrance School even if he left the Purple Cloud.

Afterall, many of the events today would be leaked out. Once they spread, many of the top schools would show interest in Song Hong.

If they didn’t recruit pill refiners of such calibre, who would they recruit?

This was why she wanted to return home quickly. Firstly, she hoped that Song Hong could feel the pressure of being watched. Secondly, she wanted to communicate his talent to her leadership and have them poach him over with an irresistible offer!

As for revenge… ever since she saw the memory crystal given to her by Song Binbin, her love for Lu Tianxiang, as well as her will for revenge… diminished greatly.

Now that she found out that Chu Yu was a pill refiner capable of refining True Soul Pills, the notion was completely destroyed.

She was not cold blooded, if she was, she would not have tried to take revenge for her fiance.

However, Lu Tianxiang had disappointed her!

She had never stopped him from finding other ladies, but he had done so behind her back. Furthermore, he had spoken ill of her in front of the other lady… this was too heart wrenching.

The Wafting Cloud School arrived with their heads held high but left dejected.

This made the Purple Cloud School teachers and students immensely happy. They had never been so proud.

At this point, Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan stepped out and said, "Thank you Sensei Song for winning this great honor for us. This is a momentous step for our school. With such a talent, why do we still have to worry about our Pill Refining Section?"

Then, ignoring what the others thought, he walked to Chu Yu and bowed, "Previously, because I did not understand you well enough, I have offended you many times, I hope you do not blame me."

For Sun Zhangshan, apologizing and keeping his head low was his best choice now!

Anyways, many of his things could not be proven. As long as he could tide over this current stage, the future… could be planned!

Now, Song Hong had a fortune in spiritual stones, and nine True Soul Pills!

As long as news of this leaked out, there would definitely be more people wanting his head than wanting his pill refining skills!

A gentleman is able to accept humiliation for a greater cause. After this blows over… wait and see how I deal with you!

Liu Yuyan and the royal family continued to be immensely excited by the result.

Some of the princes were saying that countless people in the royal family would be kicking themselves for missing out such a good show.

After hearing what Sun Zhangshan said, their smiles froze and they all looked at Liu Yuyan.

Liu Yuyan frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"This young man has been pursuing you for so long, has he changed?" Princess Song Yu smiled, "Does he dare say this wasn’t orchestrated by him?"

There were many smart people around. When the Purple Cloud School Principal had targeted Sun Zhangshan, many already guessed what was going on.

However, no one expected Sun Zhangshan to be so shameless as to be the first one to congratulate Song Hong.

It is said that one should not penalize someone who realizes their mistake. If Song Hong accepts his apology… then even if the Principal wanted to deal with him, the Principal will have to reconsider.

After Liu Yuyan found out that the presence of the Wafting Fragrance School was orchestrated by Sun Zhangshan, her hate for him reached a maximum.

Seeing how shameless he was meant that her impression of him reached an abyssal low.

However, Chu Yu took one look at the apologetic Sun Zhangshan and chuckled. Then, he raised his hand, used the Racing Sacred Art, and slapped him viciously in the face!

　　

Pa!

A crisp sound echoed out, stunning the arena.

Limitless - Chapter 188: Is this even a Pill?

At this point, Chu Yu’s ability to control the fire had reached a level that was unattainable, and even incomprehensible for an ordinary pill refiner.

Chu Yu harnessed all his concentration. His edged, handsome yet animalistic face was respectful. His arms were well toned and his long silky hair rested on his shoulders.

He wore a green robe and looked like a god amongst men.

Everyone on scene went silent. They unconsciously held their breath as they stared at Chu Yu, unblinking.

The Magma Fire burned brightly one moment, engulfing the entire Immortal Crane Pill Furnace; the next moment, it was gentle as a candle, almost as if it could be extinguished any moment.

Their hearts were in their mouths.

In the end, Chu Yu used a raging fire and engulfed the entire Immortal Crane Pill Furnace.

That ancient furnace burnt bright red, almost like the sun!

The high temperature could be felt from a distance.

Even the attractive lady could not help but retreat a couple of steps.

Only Chu Yu stood in front of the furnace, unmoving, like a statue.

Pill refining… is not an easy profession!

Many people felt this way in that instant.

Chu Yu opened his vertical eye and constantly observed what was going on inside the furnace.

If he was already at the level of Pill Guru, then he would not need his vertical eye to understand every minute detail within the furnace.

However, he still had a long way to go before he could reach that level!

If not for the fact that he learnt a saint’s technique, there was no way he could refine the True Soul Pill.

From afar, the attractive lady looked on with glimmering eyes.

She smiled bitterly, she would have never thought that she would pin her last hope on her enemy.

Now she could not pinpoint her feelings towards Sensei Song. Did she hate him? It didn’t seem to be as strong. But, she still hated him… afterall, he had killed her fiance!

But now, she had a request for him and hoped he would succeed.

Else, she would return home, completely defeated, unable to take revenge, and utterly embarrassed.

He must succeed, or I would be dead!

Ever since she saw the scene in the memory crystal given to her by Song Binbin, her feelings about Lu Tianxiang had become a question mark.

　

She still had a shred of obsessiveness, after all, they had formed many good memories together.

But that was it.

Avenge him?

Forget it!

He had told her that she was the only one for him, yet he kissed and hugged girls behind her back.

The conversation between the two of them, recorded on the memory crystal, was even more disgusting.

If Lu Tianxiang was still alive, she would definitely call of the wedding and give him two tight slaps!

But… he was dead!

As his fiancee, she had to make this trip down.

She had wanted to avenge him before, but now… it was just a show.

The attractive girl sighed, feeling that she was quite the fool.

So naive it was almost funny!

Chu Yu had already reached the final stage of the refining process. He controlled the Magma Fire extremely precisely as he put the final touches on the pills.

In the end, these pills were a success!

By this point, Chu Yu was drenched in sweat!

From the spectator stand, Princess Song Yu smiled at Liu Yuyan, "This is the time when you go wipe his sweat for him."

"Go to hell!" Liu Yuyan retorted, clearly shy, but her eyes revealed that she was contemplating the suggestion.

In the end, she could not find the courage to do it.

Kaboom!

A large wave of energy crashed into the lid of Chu Yu’s pill furnace.

It was almost as if a mine was set off from within the pill furnace.

Chu Yu calmed himself down and sealed the pill furnace.

He had already expected the pills to have a Pill Spirit, and the Pill Spirit would attempt to escape.

　

As such, the moment the pill formed, he had already sealed the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace!

Chu Yu sighed lightly in his heart. He was not a pill saint and could not form a magical formation during the process of refining the pill and seal the Pill Spirit inside.

That technique really went against the will of heaven!

What he did not know was that the attractive lady was already awestruck by his skill.

The attractive lady had seen Pill Gurus in action before, and their techniques were beyond comprehension.

When a pill formed with a Guru refining it, there would be some quirky occurrences.

However, she had never seen something like this… a loud boom from within the furnace!

She suddenly thought of something and was dumbstruck: Heavenly Thief!

It was said that when some of the best pills were formed, a Heavenly Thief would descend inside the furnace to destroy these pills due to the fact that they were against Heaven’s Will.

Could it be that… Sensei Song’s pills were already that superior?

The attractive lady had her heart in her chest already, but at this point, it was in her mouth… she was about to spit it out!

This was too shocking!

Need it be so heart stopping?

Even though the True Soul Pill was one of the most superior pill… it was definitely not the most superior pill.

If even a True Soul Pill could result in such a huge commotion, all she could hope for is that the pills were not destroyed by the Heavenly Thief.

The attractive lady felt immense pressure.

Chu Yu did not expect such a thing to happen either, and he could feel the excitement in the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace.

It had been dormant for over 60 million years and had not refined such a superior pill in a long time. For a pill furnace with a spirit, this was definitely quite torturous.

Now that it had an opportunity to refine a superior pill, the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was not going to let it go.

The furnace was like a war hardened general confined to a lackadaisical lifestyle. In the moment he picked up his spear and rode his horse into battle once more, his blood would pump through his veins and he would feel incredibly energized!

And even use too much power!

　

In this instance, the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace seemed to have used all of its power!

This was a furnace used by a saint and it had been used to refine countless legendary medicine.

When it brought its full power to bear, Chu Yu’s pill refining process became much more efficient. Else, the True Soul Pill was not so easy to refine successfully.

In the end, because the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was too excited, the Heavenly Thief paid them a visit.

It was a good thing that the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was powerful enough to form an energy barrier which blocked the Heavenly Thief.

Chu Yu had seen all of this unfold.

Then, the pill furnace went silent. Chu Yu retrieved his Magma Fire and let out a long sigh.

He nodded at the lady, "It’s done."

"Really… it’s done?" At this point, the lady was already sick with worry.

She looked at Chu Yu with apprehension.

Chu Yu nodded again, "Open it yourself."

The attractive lady took a deep breath. Success or failure lay just an action away. She walked over and lifted the lid.

Then she was stunned.

There was no spiritual energy, and it was a mess, with over 10 pills.

The shapes… were weird and indescribable!

There were triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons. The surface was rough. Upon closer inspection, whilst there were some engravings on the surface on the pills… what in the world were these?

The lady turned and her lips twitched. She looked at Chu Yu, "Sensei Song… are you sure that these… are pills?"

Chu Yu’s mouth twitched, "What else can they be?"

"Pills… are round!" The lady did not know what to think. She was extremely hurt, complex feelings overwhelming her.

　

She felt like she was set up, she was dead meat this time!

"Who says so?" Chu Yu said righteously, "Tell me, and I will smack him! Who told you that pills must be round? Then, tell me, what are pills used for?"

Whilst they bickered, the 12 girls could not help but take a peak.

"Wa!" Yuwen Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"Ya!" Bi Yueyue was shocked.

"Oh god!" Wang Yan was speechless.

"Oh." Ning Ling was dumbfounded.

"Hm?" Fang Xue looked at the pills suspiciously.

All in all, the 12 girls did not know how to feel after seeing those pills.

After a while, even Yan Xiaoyu and Song Binbin could not resist the temptation to take a peek.

The two of them were instantly stunned. They thought to themselves, Is it too late to beg for forgiveness… and return to the Wafting Fragrance School?

What the f*ck was this?

No one could tell what it was…

There was no aroma of medicine, no spiritual energy. The key here was… it was too ugly!

Extremely ugly!

And to think the lady had trusted Old Song this much.

No wonder Old Song never refined pills.

HAHAHAHA!

Old Song had successfully set up his enemy! He used up all of their superior medicine and refined a bunch of ugly pills!

When the 12 of them recovered from their shock, they all wanted to burst out in laughter, but they suppressed it. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

　

They didn’t care about anything else, but they wanted to leave Old Song with some dignity.

After three months studying under him, even if Chu Yu did not have any Pill Refining Skills, they would still willingly follow him.

Until now, these girls did not even care if Old Song actually knew how to refine pills or not.

The lady looked at Chu Yu, stunned. In the end, she sighed and prepared to leave.

She was prepared to accept her fate!

At this point, the Principal walked over to take a look. His face twitched, and then he looked to the sky, not wanting to say anything.

Chu Yu looked at the back of the attractive lady and used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Why, do you not want to buy… a truly superior True Soul Pill?"

The lady jerked her head backwards, and glared at Chu Yu, "This… is a truly superior… True Soul Pill?"

Chu Yu nodded, "Of course, if you don’t believe me, pick one up and analyse it for yourself. If you still can’t see it, then please leave."

The lady was stunned. She turned back and took out a single pill expressionlessly as she examined it.

At this point, with the screen in mid-air, everyone could see the shape of this pill.

The entire arena went silent, then… erupted into chatter.

"My god… is that a pill?"

"What the hell? Why is it so ugly?"

"F*ck me… it’s incredibly ugly!"

All of the Purple Cloud School teachers and students, including those from the Wafting Fragrance School were left stunned by what they saw.

Yet, on the screen, the lady’s expression slowly changed from one of fury, to calm… and then, it became stern.

On the high definition screen, they could all see traces of awe come over the lady’s face.

Each and every minor change in her expression was clear for all to see.

The crowd slowly returned to silence.

Limitless - Chapter 187: Messy Refining - Round 3

Upon hearing ‘True Soul Pill’, the Principal’s expression changed. He looked at the lady and had an idea of what she was doing.

This time, the Wafting Fragrance School had embarrassed themselves.

After all, they were a top 100 school, yet they had been thoroughly defeated. As the perpetrator, this lady was bound to be punished heavily.

Even though she was the daughter of an elder, punishment was inescapable!

If she really could bring home a single True Soul Pill… then, the story would be different.

This pill could not be refined by anyone who had not yet attained the level of Pill Guru.

As for a Guru… that was the entry requirement for refining such a pill, and even they could not be sure of getting it right a single time out of 10 tries!

It required an extremely powerful fire, pill furnace and superior pill refining techniques!

If any element was missing, the refinement would be a complete failure!

The raw medicine required to refine such a pill were also relatively expensive and each pill could fetch an astronomical price.

Since the ancient times, Pill Gurus were rare, and those who could refine such a pill were even rarer.

As such, the price on a True Soul Pill kept climbing.

If Sensei Song could refine such a pill, then in the future… no, actually, he would be seen as a god immediately!

Countless people would surround him and respectfully hire him to refine pills!

When he thought of this, the Principal of the Purple Cloud School began to regret that he did not care enough about Sensei Song.

No matter what, from today on, he would treat him many times better and not let him leave under any circumstances.

This did not apply just to Sensei Song. The 12 girls under his tutelage were also the treasures of the Purple Cloud School!

Anyone who dared to say a bad thing, not to mention touch them, would feel the wrath of the Principal.

If you have the ability, become an advanced level pill refiner at 17! Then you will be my treasure too!

As he thought about it, the Principal looked at the attractive lady, "The materials needed to refine the True Soul Pill… can’t be found in our school."

The attractive lady smiled, "It’s okay, I have them!"

Then, she retrieved a few sealed wooden boxes from her storage ring.

The yellowed amulet on the boxes revealed their age.

"Inside here are a few ancient medicine. I definitely cannot refine a True Soul Pill. As such, as long as Sensei Song succeeds, you will win this round!" The lady said this in front of everyone. Then she smiled and approached Chu Yu with the boxes.

Recently, Chu Yu had gotten some Pill Shaping techniques. Even though they were not particularly great, they were not too bad.

The Purple Cloud School was slightly inferior and didn’t have much of a collection for books.

Chu Yu had skimmed them and could grasp them, but he didn’t want to use them.

A pill is to be used and not admired. As such, whether it was ugly or not was secondary, what was important was that it works!

That was what Chu Yu thought.

In order to refine a True Soul Pill, the pill furnace and the refining fire must be of superior quality.

As such, Chu Yu immediately retrieved the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace.

The Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was ancient and it radiated with an aged aura. Anything that a saint used was extraordinary. However, the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was extremely simple, as such, any ordinary person could tell it was not ordinary, but could not pinpoint where it was extraordinary.

The attractive lady had done some serious research into pill refining. When she saw the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace, she squinted at Chu Yu.

She felt a wave of emotions in her heart. As a relatively powerful pill refiner, she could sense a sacred aura from the furnace.

Even though she did not dare think that it was a saint’s equipment, this was definitely no ordinary pill furnace!

It is no wonder that he could train students of such calibre. This man… has many secrets.

Anyone with such ability but chooses to teach in such an unassuming place in such an unassuming position was not simple.

Even though the lady could be overwhelmed by emotions and be brash at times, she was mostly calm and composed.

She blinked her eyes, deep in contemplation.

Chu Yu also retrieved the Magma Fire and threw it into the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace’s burner.

When she saw the Magma Fire, the attractive lady’s eyelids jumped again. She thought to herself, Superior pill furnace, superior refining fire… ahem, it seems that even if he fails this refinement, I can still account for the loss."

Chu Yu used his vertical eye to look into the wooden boxes.

The lady did not tell him what each box contained, clearly a test of his ability.

However, trying to test someone who can see through fakery… was only going to end badly.

Chu Yu immediately picked up one of the boxes and ripped off the sealing amulet. These amulets were one time use only, so Chu Yu ripped it off extremely casually.

The moment he ripped off the amulet, a powerful wave of energy could be felt from the box.

It was as if the box contained an ancient beast. Even though it did not roar, the people nearby felt their hearts in their mouth.

The attractive lady stared at Chu Yu, unblinking. At the same time, she retrieved a few magical equipment and prepared to activate them at any time.

She was just afraid that these spiritual medicine would disappear after the seal was lifted!

These spiritual medicine were close to being legendary medicine… legendary beasts, even after being sealed for millions of years, they still had the ability to escape once the seal was lifted.

If it escaped, then it would be chaos. Catching it again… would be extremely difficult.

Chu Yu shouted at the box, his expression unchanging, "Be obedient! Who are you showing off to?"

A ray of energy invisible to the naked eye shot out from Chu Yu’s vertical eye towards the wooden box. At the same time, Chu Yu used the Gluttonous Sacred Art and a terrifying energy enveloped the box.

To others, Chu Yu’s actions may seem comical and hardheaded, almost as if he was trying to maintain his composure in the face of a terrifying enemy.

The wooden box contains superior spiritual medicine. These medicines all have spirits and want to escape the moment the seal is broken. Would they even be obedient?

In the end, with Chu Yu’s shout, the wooden box in his hand calmed down, shocking everyone.

Everyone was stupefied.

Afterwhich, Chu Yu opened the box and retrieved the spiritual medicine, all of them trembling in fright. Then, he threw them into the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace.

From start to finish, these medicine did not even resist!

Even though they knew that they were going to die after being thrown into the pill furnace, they did not resist!

What a powerful technique!

The power of Chu Yu could be seen by everyone this time.

What the could not understand was, this Sensei Song was clearly only a King’s Realm cultivator, how could he possibly control these superior spiritual medicine without a seal?

Afterwhich, Chu Yu used a similar method to open the other wooden boxes and threw the spiritual medicine into the furnace.

As the attractive lady watched Chu Yu’s every move, her eyelids kept twitching. She finally ascertained that the unorderly method that the girls had used in the previous rounds were taught by this man.

　This unorderly method may work for a normal pill.

But this is a True Soul pill!

For such a pill, even a Guru would have to be careful and methodical in his refinement.

Could you really refine a pill in such a messy way?

Chu Yu could not care less. It looked like he was just throwing in medicine casually, but his every step… was guided by the knowledge of a saint!

Through learning the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture, Chu Yu had confirmed one thing, he was really a talent in cultivation!

He could understand, digest and apply any cultivation knowledge in a short period of time.

Previously, Chu Yu wondered if it was due to his vertical eye. However, upon closer thought, he realized that he was exemplary even before he acquired the vertical eye.

Even if the vertical eye had changed him, it was no big deal. Right now, the metal ball that had become his vertical eye had melded into one with his body!

It is mine!

In this world, there is bound to be someone who would be revered for generations to come, and I… am that person!

Whilst Chu Yu engaged in his narcissism, his hands never stopped moving.

His Firebending abilities had already reached an incredibly high level.

The attractive lady stared at him. Even though she could not understand, she could feel that Sensei Song was using an incredibly powerful Firebending technique!

The 12 girls, as well as the two Wafting Fragrance defectors, Song Binbin and Yan Xiaoyu, also stared at Chu Yu, unblinking.

This was the first time the 12 girls have seen their sensei refine pills and they were incredibly excited.

His knowledge had already won them over completely, but they still did not know how his pill refining skills were.

Today, they would find out!

Even though they could not understand the Firebending technique… ahem, they still found it incredibly powerful!

"Why isn’t Sensei Furnace Controlling?" Ning Ling murmured.

The days of their explosive, multicolored hairstyles were gone. Now, these girls looked incredibly obedient as they looked at Chu Yu with reverence.

Of course, this was just their appearance, and they were only obedient when it came to sensei. As for the others… sorry!

Fang Xue said disdainfully, "Do you think sensei is like us? Does he need to show off? Who is he showing off to?"

The other girls nodded in agreement.

"Exactly, our sensei doesn’t need to flaunt his skills!"

"Exactly, levitation and the like are for kids."

Yan Xiaoyu was incredibly ashamed. She wanted to find a hole to bury herself, it was almost as if those words were directed at her.

Bi Yueyue hugged Yan Xiaoyu then chided the other girls, "Hey, enough is enough, don’t hurt the innocent. At our age, we should flaunt and show off! Only when we reach a mature age like sensei… do we not need to flaunt!"

The girls burst out in laughter.

Chu Yu nearly vomited blood on stage. He thought to himself, I would like to flaunt too… Furnace Control is great, but if I were to use that whilst refining such a pill… do you all really think I am a True Lord cultivator?

Furthermore, since when was I old and mature? I’m still a baby okay?

By this time, all of the medicine in the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace had been refined, and he was now at the pill forming stage.

Chu Yu’s expression became stern.

This was the key to success, there was no room for error!

Limitless - Chapter 186: True Soul Pill

Bi Yueyue looked surprised as she smiled at the teenager, "So your name is Yan Xiaoyu?"

Everyone who heard this was in chaos.

You don’t even know her name, yet you drag her away?

The key was, you were successful in abducting her!

No one knew how she did it… but everyone was extremely curious. Is this Yan Xiaoyu’s own intention.

After being chided by the lady, Yan Xiaoyu kept her head down, silent.

The lady was on the verge of going crazy, What the f*ck is going on?

She had brought a large number of people to avenge her dead fiance. She had thought that this would be an easy win.

In the end...

Her entire army was annihilated in all three rounds!

To be honest, the fact that there was Pill Spirit could not be said. Even if she said it, no one would believe her.

How could a teenaged boy with abilities of an elementary advanced level pill refiner be able to do something pill masters find difficult to do?

As such, in the eyes of many, Yuwen Xiaoxiao had won the final round against Song Binbin!

64 against 24. Even without considering the quality, she had smashed him with sheer quantity noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

However, she tried to be noble and admit defeat to give the Wafting Fragrance School face… even though it was rather immature of her because the screen clearly showed the pills from the two competitors.

The color and quantity were clear for all to see.

However, what Yuwen Xiaoxiao did was unforgivable. Afterall, she was still a kid and would not think so much.

At least her intentions were correct and she was prepared to concede the round to the Wafting Fragrance School.

They had been smashed in all three rounds.

Even before the competition between teachers, two of their students had defected!

The lady could even imagine the kind of backlash she would face when she returned.

The fact that her father was an elder in the school may not even be sufficient to save her.

And now, she couldn’t even find it in herself to hate!

Who can she hate?

Could she hate Sensei Song Hong?

He was just trying to cure his student’s mother! He was doing his job as a medical practitioner!

After their plot to assassinate the wife was revealed, the concubine’s family had tried to assassinate Song Hong for revenge, but was killed instead.

Regardless who had killed him, Lu Tianxiang and the Lu Clan were clearly in the wrong.

As such, right now, she did not even have the right to hate anyone!

If only she could be an unfeeling ice queen, but she could not!

She had lived a righteous, peaceful and caring life for the past 20 years. She owned up to her own mistakes.

But she had never felt like this before.

Shame, embarrassment, fury, sadness… countless emotions amalgamated in her brain and she was on the verge of crumbling.

To be honest, it was no big deal even if Song Binbin defected.

Afterall, other than her, no one knew of his talent.

However, Yan Xiaoyu was different!

She came from an extremely influential family in the Qi Country.

She belonged to a family that even the royal family had to respect!

And the Qi Country was many times larger than the Song Country!

How else would they have such a powerful school?

Yan Xiaoyu was also an astonishingly talented girl.

Without considering her talents in pill refining, she was extremely powerful in battle as well.

Furthermore, she was adept with magical formations and had quite a few achievements in that field.

It was no exaggeration to say that Yan Xiaoyu was a top class talent.

If she lost such a talented individual, even her father… would not spare her!

The lady wished that this was all a dream and that it would all disappear once she woke up.

How good would that be?

At this point, Yan Xiaoyu bravely raised her head and said with conviction, "I want to stay here!"

It wasn’t an ‘I think’, but an ‘I want’...

This was a fresh way of expressing her opinion.

The lady looked at Yan Xiaoyu and used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Did someone threaten you? Don’t be afraid! I am here for you!"

"Teacher, I really wasn’t threatened. I am doing this out of my own will." Yan Xiaoyu looked at the lady sincerely, "I really love pill refining and I hope that I can become a guru in the future."

There’s a better chance of you becoming a guru in the Wafting Fragrance School!

The lady felt like she was going crazy as she looked at Yan Xiaoyu, lost for words, "Think about it carefully, this does not just concern you. It concerns your family and many others, I hope you do not make a rash decision."

Yan Xiaoyu nodded and maintained her sweet smile as she whispered, "Teacher, rest assured, I have communicated my intentions to my family and they are supportive."

"..." The lady was at a loss and she felt like she was going to crumble.

She wanted to call Yan Xiaoyu a liar, but… how long could you perpetrate such a lie?

If this was a lie, it would be so easy to tear apart!

All the Purple Cloud School students present were incredibly excited, they had never felt this good before.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to see such an entertaining competition.

Liu Yuyan, as well as the royal family, were all wide eyed and in disbelief at what they were seeing.

Princess Song Yu looked at Chu Yu with admiration. Then she looked at Liu Yuyan seriously, "Are you sure… that you don’t mind if I pursue him?"

Liu Yuyan stiffened slightly, her expression conflicted as she bit her lower lip lightly.

Song Yu saw that and rolled her eyes. She knew her childhood friend too well. This meant that she was interested in him but did not want to admit it.

"Aish…" Song Yu sighed and leaned back in exasperation, "Damn it, there are so little great guys in the world. But when I find one, my younger sister already likes him…"

"..." Liu Yuyan was shy, but she suppressed it and didn’t explain further.

Song Yu suddenly sprung up and stood up straight. She shifted next to Liu Yuyan and whispered, "How about, we both go after him?"

"..." Everyone else on the scene could not believe their ears.

Song Qi kept coughing by the side.

Song Yu glared at him, "What are you coughing at? Can’t I do that?"

Song Qi threw his hands in the air in exasperation, "Sister, you’re a princess!"

"So what if I’m a princess? Can’t a princess pursue her happiness?" Song Yu’s eyes rolled then she sighed, "A pity, we don’t know if he will like us… aish, how saddening."

By this time, things on the ground began to change and their focus turned back to it.

Since the lady could not convince Yan Xiaoyu, she turned her attention to Chu Yu.

"Sensei Song, I must say that you’re really good at teaching. Previously, I heard that the Purple Cloud School did not even have a Pill Refining Section. I also heard that the section was made up of expelled students from other sections. The school couldn’t bear to expel them so they posted them here to fend for themselves…"

The Principal of the Purple Cloud School saw his face flush, but he could not deny any of these.

The attractive lady continued, "Everyone, external and internal, thought the same way!"

Then, she looked towards the leadership of the Purple Cloud School. All of them avoided her gaze.

"This can only prove one thing, you’re too good!" The attractive lady laughed bitterly, "You have managed to make these disobedient kids into advanced level pill refiners… and even pill masters!"

She did not continue for fear that it would raise questions about how Chu Yu actually trained these kids.

If he could cultivate such great pill refiners and even pill masters whilst his own cultivation level was not high meant only one thing!

He had an unbelievably powerful set of teachings on hand!

It could be a Divine Lord level set, or even… a Legendary Emperor Realm set!

She did not even dare think about a saint’s legacy.

In the entire Mirror World, people who owned a saint’s legacy… were few and far between.

It was only possible to find it in the top 10 schools.

How could you find one in such a place?

In the entire Qi Country, with a land mass many times that of the Song Country, not a single saint’s legacy was passed down.

At this point, the attractive lady looked deeply into Chu Yu’s eyes, "I really do admire your ability to teach. However, I do not know how powerful you are. As such, I still want to challenge you!"

Chu Yu sighed and nodded, "Since you want to challenge, then let’s go."

"Actually, take it as a request, because I do not have the confidence to refine this pill." This lady said hesitantly, using the Voice Transmission Technique.

"If Sensei refines this pill successfully, you would win. Then, I would like to buy three pills from you. Rest assured that I will offer you a fair price for all of them…"

"Are you hiring me to refine pills?" Chu Yu finally understood her plan. He squinted and thought to himself, What a great plan!

The lady did not panic even though her plan was revealed. She smiled bitterly, "Sensei, what do you think will be the result when I return back to the Wafting Fragrance School?"

Chu Yu stiffened slightly, then sighed and shook his head.

The attractive lady said, "I don’t blame sensei, this entire chain of events started as a result of my immaturity and recklessness. However, I hope to have something that will be able to lessen my punishment when I return."

Chu Yu looked at this lady. Even though they were using the Voice Transmission Technique, he admired her honesty.

She had laid it all out to him.

"Okay, I promise you, if I can refine the pill you want, I will sell it to you!" Chu Yu nodded.

"Thank you!" The lady thanked him sincerely.

Then, she looked at the crowd and said, "The pill I’m asking for is the True Soul Pill!"

True Jerk? [1]

Chu Yu was rather speechless, but he felt a shiver in his heart.

He had seen this pill in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture before.

The issue was, these pills were to give to cultivators at the pinnacle of the True Lord Realm to break through to the Divine Lord Realm!

Wouldn’t he be creating a Divine Lord for the Mirror World?

Chu Yu regretted this slightly now.

However, he immediately thought of something and heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, If we are never enemies, then all will be well. However, if you become my enemy one day… all I can say is sorry!

Between my reputation and my home… I definitely value my home more!

[1] this is a play on the tone. True Jerk and True Soul Pill have similar Mandarin pronunciations.

Limitless - Chapter 185: Chaos

Not only was it unlikely, it was quite impossible!

He is a student of the Wafting Fragrance School and it could be seen that the lady knew him and could call him by his name. She also trusted him enough to send him for the final round, despite all the pressure.

How is it possible… to have someone like that leave their school and the people they trust to come over to a foreign and much less qualified school?

But he had to give it a go!

Chu Yu thought to himself.

In the entire arena, only two people truly understood what the energy that exited from the pill furnace entailed.

They were Chu Yu and the lady.

Chu Yu saw it with his own eyes!

The lady had deduced it.

The others could only feel the energy flying out, but they didn’t know what it meant.

The lady’s expression was aghast and she unconsciously glanced at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu’s expression had already returned to normal.

Did he see any problem?

The lady observed Chu Yu as she thought to herself and hesitated… should she admit defeat!

From sheer numbers, Song Binbin had only refined 24 pills, an advanced level pill refiner.

Even though his pill engravings were beautiful and the sizes were identical, they were miles off from Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s pills.

If not for the fact that there was Pill Spirit, he would have lost handedly.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao hesitated. Even though she did not really know what had happened, she came from a pill refining family and had an idea of what happened by relating it to the legends she knew!

Sensei’s look of shock had not escaped her eyes. It wasn’t because she knew what was going on, but at that time, she was looking to Chu Yu for approval...

"If this boy’s pills are really what we hear of in the legends… then no matter how perfect my pills are, I have lost!"

Yuwen Xiaoxiao was not someone who couldn’t accept defeat, and she had no qualms about admitting someone was better than her.

However, now, she felt especially depressed.

It was like a slap to her face. Her opponent’s pills had Pill Spirit, meaning that they were of much better quality than her!

It would take a long time for her to reach that standard.

Pill Spirit!

Where did this young man… get his talent and skill from?

Pills with Pill Spirit were of astronomical value!

Even though the Pill Spirit disappeared the moment the lid was lifted, these pills were still far superior to normal pills.

For example, 10000 thoughtless robots were not as valuable as a single, thinking worker.

Pill Spirits occur only after one has attained the advanced levels of Pill Master.

And the occurrences were rare!

Even when one attained the level of Guru, the chances of Pill Spirits only increased slightly.

And the Pill Spirit was likely… to disappear.

Even the Gurus could not guarantee that every batch would have Pill Spirit, as for every pill… even a pill saint could not guarantee it.

However, when one attained the level of Guru, they will have the technique to seal in the Pill Spirit.

Any pill with a sealed Pill Spirit was priceless!

When one attained the level of saint, it would be a lot easier to refine pills with Pill Spirit, furthermore, the Pill Spirit was unlikely to escape.

As such, any pill refined by a saint, even if it is just a Spiritual Concentration Pill, was of unthinkable value.

An ordinary person may not even be able to see one in his entire life!

As such, where did this boy’s talent come from? He could refine pills with Pill Spirit at the tender age of seventeen!

Anyone who vaguely knew about this man’s talent would never let him go.

The girl made her decision, even if she was going to lose face, she must keep Song Binbin and not let her enemy know!

Yes, even if her fiance was in the wrong, he was still her fiance!

Even though she had agreed to bury the hatchet after this competition, the fact that Song Hong is her enemy would never change.

As such, she was extremely afraid that Song Binbin’s talent would be discovered and he would be poached away.

She was aware that Song Binbin was not valued by the Wafting Fragrance School, and… he was frequently bullied.

Based on a child’s mentality, he would follow whoever treats him well.

As such… she had to admit defeat first, then try to compensate him after! Then, when they returned, she would tell her father about his talent. This will definitely excite him!

However, just as the lady was about to speak, Yuwen Xiaoxiao said softly and conflictedly, "I have lost!"

OMG!

The entire arena went silent.

Everyone stared at her, mouths agape.

There was a huge screen behind the stage and her 64 pills with exquisite engravings could be seen clearly.

Everyone saw her pills!

And were shocked by it!

The fact that she could refine 64 pills at such a young age meant that her potential was immeasurable!

On the other hand, Song Binbin’s 24 pills, although acceptable, were a far cry from Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s in terms of appearance. This made the teachers and students from the Wafting Cloud School want to dig a hole to hide their faces.

There was simply no comparison between the two!

Even though there was a wave of energy that burst out when Song Binbin opened his lit, who knew if it was just residual energy from the medicine?

Then, they looked at Song Binbin’s ashen face and look of despair. It was clear that he knew his pills were nowhere near his opponents!

His pills were inferior both in quality and quantity!

How embarrassing!

All the teachers and students from the Wafting Fragrance School hated Song Binbin.

They had not wanted to compete in this third round, but he had insisted on it!

In the end?

He was handedly beaten!

Is he happy now?

Song Binbin stood rooted to the ground, his head lowered, not even daring to open his eyes.

He did not understand how terrifying the pills he had refined were. Previously, he was unwilling to accept defeat and his bones burnt with determination, he was not going to give up!

Even if he was going to lose, he was going to lose with honor!

Yes, he would rather lose than give up!

However, in the end, he still lost handedly. He had thought that he would be able to handle victory or defeat, however, with all eyes on him, he felt completely lost and out of sorts.

He felt like he was floating in the air, lost.

However, under such a circumstance, Yuwen Xiaoxiao… she had… admitted defeat?

Song Binbin, who had his head drooped in shame and sadness, looked up, his eyes revealing his disbelief as he stared at Yuwen Xiaoxiao.

Is she crazy?

Insane?

Stupid?

Or...

"Noble and honest!"

A teacher from the Wafting Fragrance School said emotionally, eyes reddened.

He was convinced!

Completely convinced!

His eyes revealed his sincerity as he looked at Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "Child, it is a waste for someone like you to stay here. Furthermore, your character and behavior is exemplary! Are you willing to come over to the Wafting Fragrance School?"

What the f*ck?

You’re trying to poach my student even before I poach yours?

Chu Yu stared at the teacher.

This Wafting Fragrance School teacher ignored Chu Yu’s gaze.

He continued to tell Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "It would be a waste of your talent to remain here. Come with us and see the world. I believe that your potential is limitless!"

"Mm, I know." Yuwen Xiaoxiao nodded.

This teacher was speechless. He suddenly felt that this beautiful lady was just like her sensei.

They were all so shameless… and unpredictable.

The lady did not want to hesitate any longer. She looked at Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "This student is too humble, the screen clearly shows the result and no one will say that you’ve lost. This round is won by you. But it’s okay, these students of ours are no pill refiners. They are battle trained, when we return, naturally…"

Before she could finish, the skinny boy Song Binbin fell to his knees in front of her and bowed thrice.

Hmm?

What is this?

Everyone was stupefied.

No one knew what this boy, who had lost, was trying to do.

The lady had a bad feeling about this. She thought to herself, Silly boy, when we return, I will definitely send you to the PIll Refining Section.

She used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Song Binbin not to say anything foolishly. When they returned, she will definitely send him to the Pill Refining Section and cultivate him properly.

However, Song Binbin did not seem to hear her.

After he bowed three times, he said seriously, "I have been in the Wafting Fragrance School for two years. I had signed up for the Pill Refining Section initially, but I was rejected because the section head thought that I wasn’t talented enough. In the end, I was posted to the Battle Section, but I never gave up on pill refining. My only wish is to be the best in pill refining."

"You…" The lady looked at him with vigor, "You’re a talent, when we return, I will definitely let you enrol in the Pill Refining Section."

"It’s okay teacher, thank you. You’re my only source of warmth in the entire Wafting Fragrance School. Teacher, last year, whilst doing an experiment, I accidentally used a memory crystal to record a scene. I was afraid and did not know you well then, so I kept it. Now I am giving it to you, after you’re done watching it, you will understand many things."

As Song Binbin spoke, he retrieved a memory crystal and handed it over to the lady.

With a look of doubt, the lady took the memory crystal in her hand and used her mental energy to see what was inside.

In that instant, her expression changed.

Blood drained from her face instantly!

Her body and hands… trembled immensely.

Two of the Wafting Fragrance School teachers rushed over and glared at Song Binbin, "What did you let her see?"

At this point, tears formed in the lady’s eyes and she said, "It’s nothing to do with him."

Then, she took a deep breath and looked at Song Binbin, "Tell me, what is your request?"

Song Binbin said, "I hope that I can leave the Wafting Fragrance School. I would like to enrol in the Purple Cloud School’s Pill Refining Section and learn from Sensei Song!"

He said this readily and without hesitation.

The lady looked at Song Binbin solemnly, "I can teach you myself!"

"I would like to learn from Sensei Song." Song Binbin was determined.

Just as the teachers from the Wafting Fragrance School were about to scold Song Binbin, the lady nodded, "Okay, I can grant you your wish, but… will they accept you?"

Chu Yu had a lot of interest in Song Binbin initially, but now he hesitated!

He did not know what Song Binbin handed to the lady, but from her reaction, it was likely to be related to Lu Tianxiang.

A student had kept an accidental recording for so long, not destroying it, just waiting for a day like this to use it.

What a masterstroke!

His plan and cunningness… did not match his age.

He seemed like someone who would use any means to get to his goal!

Chu Yu squinted as he looked at Song Binbin.

At this point, the lady used the Voice Transmission Technique to speak to Chu Yu, "He showed me a scene where Lu Tianxiang was passionately kissing another lady. He did record this accidentally, that I can assure you. But the fact that he kept it till today and brought it out at such a time, his planning… decide for yourself! Song Hong, our feud is over! But we must continue with the competition! It’s okay even if I lose to you, at least I can help your reputation."

After hearing this, Chu Yu contemplated silently.

The development of events had far exceeded anything predictable.

Many of the people from the Wafting Fragrance School felt that Song Binbin was a traitor. Even with his talent, he did not think about the favors that were given to him. Even after the lady promised him the world, he was unmoved.

Good riddance!

It would be a sore sight to see him in school!

As for the side of the Purple Cloud, many were completely stunned by what was going on.

What is happening here?

Are you submitting to the power of the Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section?

In fact, after the competition, many students in the Purple Cloud School contemplated enrolling in the Pill Refining Section and learning from Sensei Song.

Song Binbin hesitated, then fell to his knees in front of Chu Yu, "Please sensei, accept me and teach me the art of pill refining!"

He looked extremely innocent and sincere as he begged CHu Yu.

Chu Yu used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Answer a few questions, then I’ll decide whether or not to accept you."

Song Binbin looked at Chu Yu and nodded.

"That thing, why did you keep it on yourself for so long and take it out now? Were you trying to use it as leverage so she will let you go? Do you have similar items on you?" Chu Yu asked.

Song Binbin replied without hesitation, also using the Voice Transmission Technique, "I thought that it could be used one day. Indeed, I used it today so that she would let me go. At the same time, I wanted her to know that it was not worth her effort to find trouble with you over scum like that. I do not have anything similar on me. Sensei, I am not a bad person, but I am also not dumb."

After he finished, Song Binbin put his head to the ground and said, "I’m begging you Sensei, trust me, I will not let you down!"

"Okay!"

Chu Yu nodded, "Rise, I’ll accept you!"

　

"Thank you Sensei! Thank you Sensei!" Song Binbin said repeatedly, choking slightly.

At this point, a distant voice could be heard, "Hang on hang on, Sensei, she wants to join us too!"

Chu Yu turned around and saw Bi Yueyue walk over with that sweet teenager. The teenager’s expression was sad and bitter and she drooped her head, unwilling to look at anyone.

Chu Yu felt butterflies in his stomach.

God damn, she managed to catch her so quickly?

The Purple Cloud arena was in chaos.

The Principal looked on in exasperation. This, ahem… was completely out of control.

He did not know whether to be surprised or shocked.

The 12 girls were still the same!

Able to create trouble!

Everyone from the Wafting Fragrance School looked on unhappily.

They were all going crazy!

What the f*ck was this?

Not only were they handedly beaten by a lesser school, now, their students are defecting over to this school?

The lady could no longer suppress her fury and she hollered, "No way! Yan Xiaoyu, are you crazy?"

Limitless - Chapter 184: Spiritual Pill

The Principal of the Purple Cloud School could clearly describe the memory of a feeling from many years ago.

"Extremely delighted!"

"Definitely, no other words could better describe the emotions that I had felt," he said.

He had personally ordered the twelve furnaces for the twelve girls. Six across and seven down, there were 42 shiny and smooth pills. The engravings on the pill were exquisite as they lay in neat order at the bottom of the pill furnace.

Will of Heaven Pill!

A real Will of Heaven Pill!

Each one exuded a strong aura of medicine. A sniff would make a person exceptionally happy. Any emotions of angst would be calmed instantly.

Superior quality!

A real superior quality Will of Heaven Pill!

The Principal did not even need to analyze it to confirm it.

He raised his head, trying to look for Bi Yueyue, but couldn’t find her after scanning the surroundings.

However, he was not angry with her, not in the least bit!

Which capable person did not have their quirks?

Exactly, none of them!

He raised his head and puffed his chest as he looked at the attractive lady from the Wafting Fragrance School.

All of a sudden, he felt that he was according them too much respect!

So what if they were the Wafting Fragrance School. If the Vice Principal of their school had come, then it would be courteous for him to receive them. However, they were just a group of teachers and students. To accord them such treatment... seemed to be slightly too much?

Before this, he never felt this way, he only hoped that they would not thrash his students too hard.

But times had changed.

The Pill Refining Section had given him a huge surprise.

In order for someone to keep their head held high, they needed to be capable!

The attractive lady had no interest in seeing the change of emotion in the Principal of the Purple Cloud School. She walked to the pill furnace and looked at the 42 Will of Heaven pills. She smiled bitterly in exasperation.

As for that sweet teenager’s furnace, she did not even have the courage to open it.

That last wave of fire... had clearly burnt all of the pills up!

If she opened it, she would only see a pile of medicinal pulp and add to their humiliation.

"For the third round, we..."

Just as the lady was about to say "Give up", a low but resolute voice could be heard from the Wafting Fragrance School camp.

　

"Teacher, I would like to compete in the third round!"

A slim and seemingly weak boy, about 17 or 18 years old stepped out. He looked extremely young and his dressing showed that he was from a well to do family.

His eyes were clean and bright. The contrast in his eyes were stark and they looked like stars in the sky. His eyes were his most attractive feature.

The lady looked at him and frowned. She whispered, "Song Binbin, we have already lost..."

"Yes, we have lost, but the challenge is not over." The boy looked at the attractive lady resolutely.

Some of the students from the Wafting Fragrance School already felt rather frustrated.

This was supposed to be an easy trip, where they would simply smash their opponents. Yet, now, it was a trip where they got smashed instead.

Amongst them, other than Song Binbin, no one wanted to continue with the challenge. They wanted this nightmare trip to end and return to the Wafting Fragrance School. Then, they would pray that news of this incident did not spread.

Even though they were not from the Wafting Fragrance School’s Pill Refining Section, the key problem here was that not many students in other Pill Refining Sections could match up to their standard!

Yet, they had lost to a group of unknown girls from an unranked school.

This... was such an embarrassment!

Their wish for news of this not to spread would never come true.

The largest social media platform in the Mirror World already had news of this challenge!

However, the Purple Cloud School was unworthy of attention. Also... even though the Wafting Fragrance School was a top 100 school, they were not particularly high ranking.

As such, news of this would not be particularly explosive.

To those from the superior schools, these were just two extremely low schools engaging in pointless competition.

Even if it went completely against all predictions, they would not bother with it.

The attractive lady had already felt the frustration from the teachers and students of the Wafting Fragrance School.

She knew that once they lost the advantage, her people would lose their confidence and their patience.

She looked at Song Binbin, wanting to reject him.

However, when she saw the determination in his eyes, she could not bring herself to reject him.

Actually... why not give it a go?

Since she was already willful, she should just be willful to the end! Either way, she was going to be punished when she returned this time, why not just fulfil the stubbornness of a child?

"Okay, go!"

The attractive lady looked into the boy’s eyes, "No matter the result, you are still a good student!"

"Thank you teacher." Song Binbin bowed.

"Go on!" The lady nodded.

This time, Yuwen Xiaoxiao walked up to the stage, not allowing anyone to take her place.

She placed the pill furnace engraved with a chicken on the stage. The commotion she caused had shocked many people who were not paying much attention.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao looked at Song Binbin haughtily, "Little boy, call me your elder sister!"

"..." Countless people were speechless when they heard that, remembering how terrifying the 12 demonic girls from the Pill Refining Section were.

Song Binbin was shy. He had not much aura to speak of. He drooped his head and looked at Yuwen Xiaoxiao meekly, "Little elder sis..."

"It’s elder sis! Not little elder sis! What the hell is little elder sis?" Yuwen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes than looked at Song Binbin, "Tell me, what do you want to compete in? What pill shall we refine?"

Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s behaviour was arrogant beyond belief. It did not seem like she was asking him what he wanted to compete in, but rather asking him how he wanted to die...

Song Binbin said weakly, "Let’s refine the Spiritual Concentration Pill then..."

"Spiritual Concentration Pill? Did I hear you wrongly?" Yuwen Xiaoxiao saw the determination in his eyes and smiled, "Okay, Spiritual Concentration Pill it is!"

Whilst she spoke, Yuwen Xiaoxiao sent the refining fire to its compartment underneath the pill furnace. Then, she quickly grabbed a few medicine and threw them into the furnace.

"..." Everyone was stunned by what the saw.

Mm, it is still the same, they all used the same technique.

All of the girls under Chu Yu’s tutelage used the same disorderly manner to refine pills.

Chu Yu, who was extremely calm, saw the young boy start well, and began to frown.

His gut told him that this boy... was not simple.

When the boy took out his pill furnace, Chu Yu’s vertical eye sprang into action!

Treasure!

True Lord magical equipment? Or Divine Lord magical equipment?

Although it was nowhere near his own Immortal Crane Pill Furnace, his seemingly ordinary pill furnace was extremely powerful, definitely better than a Supreme Realm magical equipment.

Chu Yu also found that this boy was extremely steady in his every action, and his eyes were steely.

All of a sudden, he had a feeling that if his strongest student, Yuwen Xiaoxiao, was careless and took her opponent lightly... then she could very well be defeated!

Should I warn her?

Chu Yu hesitated.

Based on the current situation, he had to remind Yuwen Xiaoxiao not to be too cocky.

However, for Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s growth, Chu Yu felt that letting her lose this... could help her in her future!

Ok... it’s decided then!

In certain aspects, Chu Yu was also rather willful.

If Yuwen Xiaoxiao won this round handedly as well, then the Wafting Fragrance School would lose all of their dignity. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

They had travelled a great distance to smash the weakest section of an unranked school. Even though they were from the battle section, it could be seen that these students were all experts at pill refining for their age.

In the end, they were slapped by the Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section. No, now, it was two slaps.

If Yuwen Xiaoxiao won... it would be three slaps!

But Chu Yu did not warn Yuwen Xiaoxiao in advance.

As such, both sides started this match with no expectations, but the result... shocked everyone!

Yuwen Xiaoxiao had refined pills eight across and eight down for a total of 64 pills. Each one was filled with spiritual energy that would render anyone speechless.

It was no exaggeration to say that Yuwen Xiaoxiao had the skills of a pill master!

Each of her pills was like an art piece!

Even when the attractive lady saw this, despite being from the opposite camp, she could not help but nod. Then, she broke out in a bitter smile.

Who had said that the Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section was horrible?

What a huge joke!

Many of the students and teachers from the Wafting Fragrance School felt like crumbling.

"We have already lost, they have already won two of the three rounds. Haven’t we been slapped enough? Must we still give them our face for them to slap another time? I guess he’s happy now?"

"Really, why is he so determined? Is there a point in being so resilient? Never give up? F*ck me... the truth is out for all to see, what’s the use of not giving up?"

Many people began to chide Song Binbin.

As for the Purple Cloud School, the spectators were relaxed and waiting for a good show.

"Three in a row! How fun!"

"They have been annihilated!"

"People from the battle section should just focus on that, why bother refining pills?"

"Hahahahaha! Exactly, exactly!"

Faced with these voices, the skinny youth Song Binbin did not make a peep as he silently lifted the lid of his pill furnace.

"Aiyo, he actually has the courage to lift the lid..." One of the Wafting Fragrance School students said. All of a sudden, he felt a strong wave of spiritual energy rush into the sky!

In that instant, he swallowed his words and looked on in aghast.

The spiritual energy was invisible and shapeless, but any powerful cultivator could feel that strong wave of spiritual energy.

However, in Chu Yu’s eyes, he saw a dragon made from pure energy... fly out from the furnace!

It twirled three rounds around the furnace, then flew off into the air!

Even though the others couldn’t see it, the higher their cultivation level, the more keenly they felt it. However, they didn’t know what it was.

"Spiritual Pill? How is that possible?" Chu Yu’s expression changed in that instant.

He had only attained this realm two months ago!

And this was the true indication that one had stepped into the pinnacle of the pill master level.

When pills began to form spirits, these would combine to form spiritual beasts. Once the pills were refined, the Pill Spirit will escape!

Could it be that a teenager, who looked slightly haggard... had already attained such a stage?

Is he even stronger than me? And I have a saint’s legacy in hand...

Chu Yu’s eyes were fixated on Song Binbin, waves of emotions building up in his chest, This kid... could he be an incredible pill refining talent? If he is, then regardless of the price... I must get him on my side!

However, when he looked at the attractive lady, Chu Yu realized that she looked at the boy the same way. Chu Yu smiled bitterly to himself.

She knows too!

It doesn’t seem likely that I’ll be able to snatch this boy away from her...

Limitless - Chapter 183: Another Round of Unorthodox Refinement

Watching the teenager refine pills was breathtaking. She controlled the furnace with one hand and stunned the crowd.

All of their eyes were on her.

With so much attention on her, she wasn’t at all nervous.

She extended her hands into the sky and picked out the medicine necessary to refine the Will of Heaven Pill from the long table.

All of the medicine hovered in the air in a neat line.

This technique stunned countless people!

Many of the students, and even teachers, from the Purple Cloud School were stunned. They had their suspicions, Is this really not one of the top students from their Pill Refining Section?

The teenager deliberately and calculatedly placed each medicine into the levitating pill furnace.

Upon closer inspection, beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead as she concentrated.

It was clear that she wasn’t as composed and elegant as she wanted to seem. These techniques were a strain on her.

"Aiya, not bad." Bi Yueyue smiled and praised her. Then, she also extended her hand and a large amount of medicine flew into the air and towards her pill furnace.

With a wave of her hand, she raised the lid and threw all the medicine in like dumplings...

It was just like how Wang Yan had refined her pills!

But with more viciousness!

Even though Bi Yueyue did not use the Furnace Control Technique, her actions revealed that she could do it too!

It was all a matter of choice!

At this point, even the Principal of the Purple Cloud School was stunned.

If he was to report back to Liu Fenghui now, he would tell him that he has finally realized the value of Sensei Song.

Sensei Song… was a miracle worker!

Bi Yueyue also refined her pills in a seemingly messy and unorderly manner, but she was calm and composed.

The teenaged girl on the other hand was breaking out in sweat after using the Furnace Control technique.

To the pill refiners who were Pill Master or better, this seemingly unorderly method was no problem, but it tested one’s fine motor skills.

These skills were not visible to others.

It all happened inside the pill furnace!

Before this, no one would have believed that a student from the Purple Cloud School dared to refine pills using this method.

However, they had no choice but to believe it now!

Bi Yueyue was extremely focused as she refined her pills. Even though she started slightly later than the teenager, she was still very composed.

Her hands formed various shapes in the air as she controlled the fire. The fire burned brighter and gentler with her commands.

At the same time, the pill furnace came to live in her hands, changing its angle and position every now and then.

To put it in crude terms, a pill refiner was quite similar to a chef in some aspects.

A chef needs to have mastery over the stove and his utensils.

By changing the position of the pill furnace, the pill refiner was also perfecting the pills he/she was refining!

Then, when they looked at the beautiful teen, they saw her tiring. Furnace Controlling over an extended period of time had consumed much of her energy. Even though she was in the King’s Realm and was more powerful than Bi Yueyue, it still took a toll on her.

Many from the Wafting Fragrance School began to feel anxious.

They were keenly aware that the girl was doing this to stun her opponent and suffocate her opponent with overwhelming grandeur.

Little did she expect that her opponent was not falling for it!

In the end, the teen was a victim of her own trap and she could not stop now.

No matter how great one was at Furnace Control or Firebending, no matter how beautiful the actions were, what mattered… was still the pills.

The teen felt that she may have bitten off more than she could chew!

Seeing her opponents composure stressed her out quite a bit.

Once such pressure built up, it was difficult to ignore.

She was already struggling slightly, and the pressure caused her to struggle even more.

On the other hand, Bi Yueyue was completely in control!

She looked like a heroine, every move deliberate and steady.

This was something that Chu Yu had emphasized over the past few months!

You can lose, but you cannot be intimidated!

What’s there to panic about pill refining? It’s not like it’s grave robbing?

Who are you shivering for? Is the pill you’re refining a rat pil?

These were statements that Chu Yu had used ad nauseum.

Initially, these girls did not like to hear such words, but over time, they’ve come to appreciate its meaning.

Only when they stepped into the arena did these girls truly understand the wisdom behind sensei’s words.

Ignore the challenges of your opponent, and do not fear the strength of your opponent. You are unique, and yourself....

That was it.

Bi Yueyue twisted her arms and the pill furnace, surrounded by fire, kept changing its angle.

Finally, when it was the last step… the pill forming stage, Bi Yueyue harnessed all her concentration and combined sensei’s Pill Combining technique with her Pill Shaping technique.

The Will of Heaven Pill was not easy to refine, and those who could refine this pill in the Song Country were few and far between.

Even though the ingredients to refine such a pill were not expensive, the price for this pill was astronomical. There were simply too little people who could refine this ill.

Chu Yu could feel the passionate gazes of the leadership of the school, not towards him, but towards the girls!

If all of the 12 girls could refine such superior pills, then the Purple Cloud School could use the points accumulated by the Pill Refining Section to climb up the ranks and become a superior institution.

Furthermore… they could reap tangible benefits from this too!

This was a vast cultivation world and almost everyone life form was cultivating.

As such, pills were always in high demand.

These 12 girls could bring in great revenue for the Purple Cloud School!

They could be self-financing!

Right now, they had to depend on a large amount of support from the Purple Cloud Constabulary.

　

This was a business owned by the Purple Cloud Constabulary but they had to finance it every year.

Even though the Principal was an elder in the Purple Cloud School, he still hoped that the Purple Cloud School could be autonomous.

This was not ambition, anyone would wish the same too.

Right now, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

As for Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan, he had been blinded by his jealousy with regard to Liu Yuyan. However, now that he saw the light, cold sweat broke out all over his forehead.

Liu Yuyan sat in a very unassuming corner. Around her were several youths who kept a low profile but were clearly of high status.

These people were the princes and princesses who had snuck out from the palace!

They were childhood friends and talked about everything.

Surrounding them was a special zone that was created by magical equipment from the royal family. This ensured that they were the only ones who could hear each other and no one could eavesdrop.

Prince Song Qi was shocked, "That handsome, animalistic youth is the Sensei Song who saved you? This man is extremely capable! He managed to get the Pill Refining Section in shape in such a short time? Even if it’s just the two disciples, it is sufficient to stun the world! Their standard… is probably no worse than those advanced level pill refiners?"

Princess Song Yu looked at Chu Yu, captivated, "How charming, and he’s so handsome! Yuyan ah… do you want this man? If you don’t, I’m going after him…"

Liu Yuyan stared at her, "Don’t talk rubbish…"

"Aiyo, our Yuyan’s heart has been moved! Song Qi, are you jealous?" Song Yu chuckled.

Song Qi looked at her in exasperation, "Sister, enough, you know how bad you’ve been as a matchmaker… you’ve been trying to matchmake us since young, but we are like siblings!"

Many of those on scene could not help but laugh out loud, even Liu Yuyan smiled.

Song Yu rolled her eyes, then chuckled. However, when she looked at Chu Yu, sparks could be seen in her eyes.

It was obvious that the attitudes of all the spectators had changed since arriving.

Previously, they had thought that the Purple Cloud School did not stand a chance and had come to see the superiority of the Wafting Fragrance School.

Now, they were admiring the poise of their own school and enjoying how they were wrecking students from a better school...

This feeling was so different!

Many of the students from the Purple Cloud remained silent because pill refining required concentration.

However, their excitement and anticipation was impossible to suppress.

Over in the other camp, the hundred odd Wafting Fragrance School teachers and students were silent.

Their arrogant and confident smiles were gone.

Even though the second round was not over yet, they seemed to have predicted the results.

Is this really the worst section in an unranked school?

This joke… was overboard.

If this wasn’t a joke, all they could say was the leadership of this school… was all blind!

At this point, Bi Yueyue had kept her refining fire and let out a long sigh.

The Will of Heaven Pill was no small challenge for her.

However, thanks to sensei’s teaching, she managed to face any challenge with composure. She could not see what the pills looked like, but she knew she had succeeded!

She pulled a chair and sat down. She rested her chins on her hands and looked at the sweet teenage, unblinking.

Professional etiquette dictated that she could not speak and distract her opponent, but nowhere did it say that she couldn’t look, right?

Afterall, everyone is looking at her, what difference would my stare make?

What she didn’t know was that her stare was giving this teenager lethal pressure!

In the end, even though she was still controlling the furnace, her actions were basically all off.

Furthermore, Bi Yueyue’s stare… made things even worse.

That elegant demeanour suddenly fell apart and the refining fire swallowed the entire pill furnace.

The entire arena was shocked.

Anyone with experience in pill refining knew that this cauldron of pills were gone!

　　

Wa!

The girl had never embarrassed herself in front of so many people and she burst into tears.

　

Bi Yueyue sprinted over and cuddled her, comforting her with choice words and a soothing voice.

No one really knew what she was saying, but she half carried, half supported this beautiful teen off the stage and disappeared!

Disappeared...

Disappeared?

Disappeared!

What is this?

Everyone was stupefied.

Could it be that this girl was serious all along? Is she here to compete or find a girlfriend?

The Principal of the Purple Cloud coughed and said, "Let’s take a look at the result…"

The lady sighed and nodded, "We have lost this round, but I would like to see how perfect the pills refined by a disciple of such a great sensei are."

Her words did not have any trace of condescension, mocking or suspicion. It was filled with a calm acceptance, and slight regret.

The Principal walked to Bi Yueyue’s pill furnace and sighed.

He had thought that this girl had repented, but he didn’t know that he was just being naive.

When he opened the lid… a wave of medicinal aroma gushed out!

The Principal jumped and looked in. When he did so, all the disappointment he felt towards Bi Yueyue vanished in an instant!
