Chapter 121 - Foundation Establishment Elixir
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the Weapon Peak face-off, many disciples of the five peaks were still talking about it. A number of Weapon Peak disciples were even prepared to celebrate and it was extremely lively.
Su Zimo did not participate and returned to his cave abode straight.
Obtaining number one of Weapon Peak was entirely within his expectations.
The only unexpected gain was the powerful Mystic Gold Silk Armor in his storage bag.
By the time he returned to the cave abode, it was already past noon.
“I want to be in seclusion. Guard outside the entrance and not let anyone in.”
Su Zimo said to the spirit tiger before assuming a lotus position on the stone bed and retrieving spirit stones from his storage bag.
No cultivator would not want to be friends with a Weapon Refinement Master.
Everyone witnessed little fatty obtaining an inferior-grade spirit weapon previously. Even though they said nothing, all of them were extremely envious.
“Come, let me introduce you!”
Little fatty’s beady eyes revolved around Su Zimo and Leng Rou as he giggled. “This is number one of Talisman Peak, Sister Leng Rou. This is my bro, number one of Weapon Peak, Su Zimo.”
Su Zimo and Leng Rou exchanged glances.
Leng Rou avoided his gaze and Su Zimo merely smiled with an indifferent expression.
Blinking, little fatty continued, “Don’t just stand there! Both of you have your own strengths and you should hang out more in the future!”
When he mentioned ‘hang out’, little fatty winked at Su Zimo and sounded odd.
Su Zimo was alright about it. However, Leng Rou seemed to have thought of something as a blush appeared across her cheeks; compared to her snow-white skin, it was extremely obvious.
“More nonsense! You’re asking for a beating!”
Leng Rou chided lightly and knocked little fatty on the head.
Little fatty merely continued giggling.
Right then, Su Zimo felt an intense enmity as he looked over instinctively.
Not far away, Feng Haoyu arrived on his flying sword with a group of Spirit Peak disciples.
Upon seeing that Su Zimo and Leng Rou were standing closely together, rage flashed through the eyes of many Spirit Peak disciples.
Even though Feng Haoyu’s expression was cold and aloof as usual, his hands behind his back were curled into fists.
“Bro, other than Feng Haoyu, there’s a Elixir Peak disciple called Huo Xiuyuan who is also a strong competitor for you in this face-off. You must not underestimate him.”
Little fatty said, “He was the number one of Elixir Peak last year. He’s probably even stronger for this year’s face-off.”
Su Zimo nodded.
Compared to Weapon Peak, there were slightly more disciples taking part in the Elixir Peak face-off at around 200 odd.
All of them gathered in the Elixir Refinement Hall and waited patiently.
Refinement of elixirs was unlike that of weapons.
During the Weapon Peak face-off, the disciples could choose the type of weapon they wanted to refine.
However, for the Elixir Peak face-off, the peak master would decide on a specific elixir for the disciples to refine where they would be judged based on the final quality.
Therefore, many disciples would always try to guess which elixir would be refined during the face-off.
If they guessed it right and focused their practice on that specific elixir, their chances of winning the face-off would be much greater.
Before long, the five peak masters arrived.
When the time approached, the brown haired youth stood up and declared, “The elixir to be refined for this face-off is…”
At that, the brown haired youth paused for a moment as all disciples within the hall listened intently with bated breath.
The brown haired youth then continued slowly, “Is… the Foundation Establishment Elixir!”
The moment he said that, the crowd fell into an uproar.
The Foundation Establishment Elixir was one of the most difficult to refine among Grade 1 elixirs.
In the past, there was an instance of the Foundation Establishment Elixir being tested during a face-off as well. However, all participating disciples at that time failed to refine the pill and as such, it turned out to be the dramatic outcome of having no number one for that face-off.
After that, in order to prevent such a situation from happening again, there had been no more requests for Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
To think that this year’s Elixir Peak face-off would ask for the Foundation Establishment Elixir once more!
