After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 323 - Rigged!
Chapter 323 Rigged!
After the commotion caused by the Jiuyan Sect, the guests from other sects no longer dared to mock or whisper.
Although the Empress’s decree stated that no sect should provoke trouble, who knew if lunatics would abide by it?
Not to mention the several hundred spirit boats floating in the sky.
If the Jiuyan Sect went mad and bombarded the Ancient Pill Tower, who knew how many people would survive?
For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet.
Many people looked towards Jiang Chen, and although they said nothing, the mockery in their eyes was evident.
“Hold on!”
Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, a pill refiner master suddenly stood up, loudly interrupting.
Hearing this, the crowd first frowned, but upon seeing the pill refiner master who stood up, they retracted their criticism.
Because the person who spoke was none other than Dong Yao, who had been “tormented” by Yu Shi!
Under everyone’s gaze, Dong Yao still had an unpredictable expression, yet he exuded strong confidence.
After bowing to Elder Zheng, Shi Ning, and other high-ranking officials, he announced with conviction: “I’ve just had a stroke of genius and created a pill formula that is unprecedented and will have no successors! I simply cannot contain my excitement!”
“Oh?”
Elder Zheng sized up Dong Yao and discovered that he was a sixth-grade pill refiner master, which made him straighten up.
He felt that a pill formula praised by a sixth-grade pill refiner master must be impressive!
“Then you go ahead and answer first, let us all broaden our horizons!” Elder Zheng directly ordered.
“There’s no respect greater than obedience!”
Dong Yao bowed and nodded, then looked around and said:
“Since it’s a self-created pill formula, it naturally has no name.”
“This formula uses blood vine and low-grade demon pills as the main ingredients, with dragon ginseng, blood peony, and a hundred other auxiliary materials. It requires a seventh-grade spiritual fire and a seventh-grade pill cauldron to refine, and it can greatly replenish a cultivator’s qi and blood!”
Hearing this.
“Woww——!”
Elder Zheng and many sects were impressed!
The need for a seventh-grade spiritual fire and a seventh-grade pill cauldron?
Doesn’t this imply that it could possibly be a seventh-grade pill formula?!
If that were true, could Dong Yao, with his sixth-grade pill refiner master skills, have created a seventh-grade pill formula?
This was truly a great talent!
Elder Zheng stroked his beard and smiled.
Every Alchemy Conference in the past had been a gathering of talents competing for the top!
Unlike this one, which seemed to be filled with demons and ghosts....
He had thought this pill conference would be a farce, but Dong Yao had piqued his interest.
This was the correct way to start the Alchemy Conference!
With this thought, Elder Zheng glared at Yu Shi.
Such a promising talent had been “tormented” by Yu Shi, which was simply unbearable!
“...”
Yu Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say.
“Continue!” Elder Zheng waved his hand grandly, signaling Dong Yao to proceed.
Dong Yao nodded, his expression growing even more confident, and said: “This pill not only replenishes qi and blood but also has other effects. Its medicinal efficacy is indescribable. It can be taken directly or crushed for external use, both achieving perfect effects!”
“Wonderful! Wonderful!” Elder Zheng laughed.
“A pill with multiple uses, effective both internally and externally without diminishing its medicinal power, clearly shows it has a high spiritual energy content! Tell us more, what other effects does this pill formula have?”
“As your command.” Dong Yao bowed again.
After looking around, he spoke with a resonant voice: “This pill! It feels cool to the touch, smooth to use, and in addition to replenishing qi and blood, it can also...”
“It can also?” Elder Zheng looked forward expectantly.
“Treat hemorrhoids!!”
“????”
Elder Zheng was full of question marks.

All the sects were taken aback by this abrupt twist, almost twisting their waists.
Treat hemorrhoids?
Cultivators are not ordinary people.
Why would they need such a pill?!
No, wait a minute...
The crowd suddenly thought of something.
They glanced at Yu Shi, then at Dong Yao, and fell silent for a moment.
They now understood why Dong Yao would invent such a pill formula...
For a moment, everyone glared at Yu Shi with disdain.
What does this have to do with me?
Yu Shi cried out inwardly, feeling utterly dejected.
He suspected Dong Yao did it on purpose and deliberately used this competition to sling mud at him again!
Elder Zheng, not giving up, continued to inquire: “What grade is this pill formula of yours?”
“Back to Elder Zheng, it is of the second grade!” Dong Yao replied instantly.
“...”
Elder Zheng’s mouth twitched.
Second grade?
Such a low grade, yet it requires a seventh-grade pill fire and a seventh-grade pill cauldron?
Are you kidding me?!
“Please forgive me, Elder, with my Way of the Pill skills, this is the limit of the pill formulas I can create,” Dong Yao spread his hands helplessly.
Elder Zheng’s head ached.
He wanted to scold Dong Yao, but out of pity, he eventually looked away.
Suddenly, another pill refiner master stood up, his face showing excitement: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have conceived a pill formula that is absolutely shocking and will astonish both gods and demons!”
“Oh?”
Elder Zheng’s eyes lit up again.
Worried that this was another farce, he got straight to the point: “What are the effects of your self-created pill formula, and what grade is the pill?”
“The effects are tremendous! In addition to replenishing qi and blood, it also protects against colds! The pill is of the first grade!” the pill refiner master replied immediately.
Elder Zheng was speechless again.
The pill refiner master who spoke up, just like Dong Yao, was also a sixth-grade pill refiner master.
As a sixth-grade pill refiner master, to be so excited about creating a first-grade pill formula?
Truly shocking and astonishing!
Even gods and demons would marvel at this absurdity!
“Get out!!”
Elder Zheng was furious and roared on the spot.
The pill refiner master who had spoken did not show any fear upon hearing this.
Instead, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen and then leaped down from the pill platform, giving up on the rest of the competition.
After this person left,
“Elder, the pill formula I created can replenish energy and reduce lifespan, but it’s also a first-grade pill.”
“The ingenious uses of my pill formula are indescribable, and it’s barely above first-grade!”
“Let’s be honest, no more pretending! I have a deep understanding of the Way of the Pill and have just conceived a second-grade pill formula!”
“...”
Many pill refiner masters stood up, eagerly claiming one after another.
“Get out! All of you, get out!!”
Elder Zheng was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged!
This was the Alchemy Conference! Yet, the pill refiner masters present were all creating low-grade pills and were smug about it!
It was ridiculous!
Like the previous pill refiner master, after hearing Elder Zheng’s words, these pill refiner masters left with their heads down and spirits dampened.
Yu Shi did some calculations.
At this moment, there were exactly ten pill refiner masters left.
“The number is sufficient, the remaining people advance...”
Shi Ning seized the opportunity to shout.
But before she could finish,
“It’s rigged! Rigged!!”
Yu Shi beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking at Elder Zheng to complain: “Elder, there must be something shady going on here! I demand a thorough investigation!”
“Rigged?” Elder Zheng frowned.
“This Alchemy Conference is hosted by your Ancient Pill Tower, and the pill refiner masters were also selected by your Ancient Pill Tower! Are you trying to tell me that your Ancient Pill Tower rigged it?”
“Uh...”
Yu Shi was at a loss for words.
Hearing this, Shi Ning said indifferently: “As everyone knows, this Alchemy Conference is entirely managed by the Great Elder! If there is something shady, he must take full responsibility!”
“Indeed, indeed.” The other elders of the Ancient Pill Tower agreed.
By now, even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this Alchemy Conference!
Upholding the attitude of ‘fairness and openness’, Elder Zheng turned to Jiang Chen and said: “Now I have reason to suspect that you colluded with Yu Shi to cheat your way through! Answer quickly, if you cannot create a pill formula, this Alchemy Conference will be canceled!”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
He was also confused initially, but to his surprise, the blame eventually fell on him!
As for colluding with Yu Shi? That was just absurd.
Who didn’t know that he and Yu Shi couldn’t stand each other?
Jiang Chen didn’t want to be lumped together with Yu Shi, so he spoke eloquently: “The pill formula I created is based on beast blood vine and cassia seed, supplemented with...”
“Stop!” Elder Zheng interrupted.
“Is it a first-grade or a second-grade? Does it cure hemorrhoids or the common cold?”
Creating a pill formula is extremely difficult, and usually, even a sixth-grade pill refiner can only create third or fourth-grade pill formulas.
In his view, even if Jiang Chen could create a pill formula, it would not be higher than second-grade.
Perhaps it would be like the other pill refiner masters, producing some pill with strange and peculiar effects.
Unexpectedly,
“It’s a high third-grade, not quite a fourth-grade, but not far off,” Jiang Chen replied.
“...”
