NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1310: First Place!
At the moment the first thunder tribulation descended, a flash of thunder light suddenly flickered in Zhou Yu's eyes.
Immediately after, a shocking scene unfolded.
The first thunder tribulation struck Zhou Yu's body fiercely.
However, the imagined scene of Zhou Yu being shattered by the thunder did not occur.
After striking Zhou Yu, the thunder quietly vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, everyone was astounded.
"This..."
Even the high-ranking members on the platform of the Pill God Temple stood up in shock.
They were among the top alchemy experts on this planet, having witnessed numerous extraordinary events.
But such a scenario was truly beyond their experience.
Just when everyone was stunned, the second pill tribulation finished brewing and descended with a rumble.
This time, everyone was closely watching Zhou Yu.
To see exactly how he would handle it.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, lifted his head, and spread his arms wide.
Boom!
The second lightning bolt struck Zhou Yu's body fiercely once again.
This time, the strange disappearance of the first lightning did not occur.
However, this time, it was equally astonishing.
The second lightning bolt formed a dense thunder net around Zhou Yu's body after hitting him.
Zhou Yu seemed entirely encased in lightning.
This scene lasted for nearly three minutes before the lightning around Zhou Yu gradually disappeared.
At this moment, the Ancestor on the high platform also opened his eyes.
When no one knew what technique Zhou Yu used, the Ancestor let out a sound of surprise.
"Hmm, this child has actually cultivated thunder attribute techniques."
"Quite impressive indeed."
Upon hearing this from the Ancestor, the high-ranking members of the Pill God Temple were visibly shocked.
"Thunder attribute techniques?"
"That cannot be possible."
"Our Pill God Temple also possesses similar thunder attribute techniques, yet none have such power."
"He even absorbed the pill tribulation of an eighth rank pill!"
Facing the crowd's doubts, the Ancestor calmly explained:
"Besides, this child also cultivates an extremely powerful body refinement technique."
"He used the thunder attribute technique to absorb the pill thunder, storing it within his body to strengthen his muscles and bones."
After hearing the Ancestor's explanation, the high-ranking members of the Pill God Temple finally understood.
Yet, after realizing the truth, their astonishment only deepened.
Thunder attribute techniques!
Top-tier body refinement techniques!
And an extraordinary alchemy talent!
What kind of monster is this?
To think he comes from an external origin?
It's just too incredible.
Especially the Second Elder Rong Fang, whose gaze at Zhou Yu was filled with intense coldness.
The stronger Zhou Yu's performance, the more determined Rong Fang was to eliminate him.
Otherwise, if Zhou Yu joined Vice Hall Master Li's group, it would be a devastating blow to their local faction.
While everyone was shocked, the third pill tribulation had already descended.
This time, Zhou Yu did not choose to resist but waved his fingers, causing a golden pill to burst out of the pill furnace and soar into the sky.
Boom!
The third pill thunder struck the pill Zhou Yu had crafted fiercely.
In an instant, golden light filled the sky.
At this moment, everyone's eyes reddened as they gazed at the golden pill.
Everyone could feel the powerful energy contained within the pill.
Bear in mind, this is an eighth rank intermediate pill.
Calling it a rare treasure wouldn't be an exaggeration.
However, under the watchful eyes of the Pill God Temple experts, everyone suppressed their greed.
As the Dragon Eye Soul Calming Pill absorbed all the energy from the third pill thunder,
the three pill tribulations had passed.
The pill was complete!
Zhou Yu reached out and instantly grabbed the Dragon Eye Soul Calming Pill in his hand.
And soon after Zhou Yu completed his crafting,
Jun Feng and that middle-aged man also completed their pills.
Both crafted eighth rank basic pills.
Though they too faced pill tribulations, it wasn't as easy as Zhou Yu's battle.
Ultimately, though harrowing, they managed to get through it successfully.
And as time went by, others also completed their alchemy.
However, it was clear to everyone who the top three in this exchange meeting were.
The next step was the pill inspection phase.
Although this phase seemed unnecessary, it was a process that had to be followed.
The high-ranking members of the Pill God Temple approached Zhou Yu and the others for inspection.
Observing the Dragon Eye Soul Calming Pill up close in Zhou Yu's hand, the high-ranking members all showed approving looks.
Including the Second Elder Rong Fang.
Of course, Zhou Yu could sense that Rong Fang was just putting on an act.
Soon, the high-ranking members completed their inspection.
They came before the Ancestor, respectfully saying:
"Ancestor, after inspection, it is confirmed that the Dragon Eye Soul Calming Pill crafted by Zhou Yu stands out as the best, earning the first place in this exchange meeting."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor nodded lightly.
"Good."
"According to the rules I previously announced, take this child directly to the Wutong Enlightenment Platform."
Zhou Yu was caught by surprise.
He hadn't expected to be sent to the Wutong Enlightenment Platform so quickly.
Zhou Yu immediately said:
"Ancestor, may I have some time and go there tomorrow?"
However, the Ancestor replied coldly:
"The opening time of the Wutong Enlightenment Platform is limited. You may choose to go tomorrow, but I cannot guarantee you'll be able to enter."
At this moment, Liu Tu also came over from the stage.
"Brother Zhou, this is a rare opportunity, don't worry and go. I'll watch over Miss Lin for you."
"Missing this opportunity would be a great pity."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
Soon after, a disciple from the Pill God Temple came to Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Zhou, please come with me."
"I will take you to the Wutong Enlightenment Platform."
Zhou Yu nodded and left with the disciple.
After Zhou Yu departed, Rong Fang on the platform glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Jun Feng.
Jun Feng nodded imperceptibly, watching Zhou Yu's departing figure with a sinister glint in his eyes.
Then, he turned and left...
