Chapter 881, Incomparable

“Brilliant Sky Sacred Land?” The two Elders were shocked once more, their gazes turning towards Elder Hua.

 

Elder Hua calmly accepted their astonished looks, thoroughly enjoying the shift in everyone’s attitudes.

 

Sky Cliff Pavilion and Radiance Sacred Land were destined to have a miscalculation in their plan!

 

Because no matter what, they would never have anticipated that Brilliant Sky Sacred Land would possess something as unprecedented as Compound Pills.

 

“This Pill, who refined it!?” One of the Elders, unable to concern himself with anything else, immediately pressed Elder Hua for answers.

 

Compound Pills were simply too important!

 

This could directly influence the overall strength of a Sacred Land.

 

“It was refined by an Elder from our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Pill Hall. We call it… a Compound Pill!”

 

Elder Hua stated truthfully.

 

The reason he had brought a Compound Pill refined by an Elder, truthfully speaking, was still to avoid exposing Qin Yichen’s existence.

 

The Compound Pills that Qin Yichen refined had a fusion degree that was practically flawless!

 

If he brought such a Pill over, wouldn’t that be telling the world that Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had long since developed Compound Pills?

 

The Pill he had brought over had obvious flaws in its fusion degree.

 

This, however, demonstrated that Compound Pills were something Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had only recently developed and was still in the process of perfecting.

 

“Compound Pill!?” The two Elders immediately understood in their hearts, and simultaneously put away the Pills in their hands, as if afraid Elder Hua might take them back.

 

“As long as your side is willing to help our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land overcome this difficulty, our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land is willing to share the existing Compound Pill Formulas with your side!” Elder Hua stood up and addressed the assembled high-ranking members of Roaring Heaven Sacred Land.

 

“Are you saying that your Brilliant Sky Sacred Land has developed more than just this one type of that… what was it, Compound Pill?” One of the Elders caught the key point in his words.

 

The other Elder kept sighing with emotion.

 

They had already reached the Peak Heaven Grade and felt that there was no possibility of advancing further in this lifetime, so they had focused their energy on researching various new Pills.

 

Fusing different attributes into one Pill was precisely the goal of their current research.

 

However, more than ten years had already passed without much progress, yet they never expected that others had already developed it, and moreover, more than just one type.

 

“Hehe, there are already more than ten types at present. If you two don’t believe it, you can accompany me to our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land to see for yourselves.” Seeing the emotion on their faces, Elder Hua knew the matter was essentially settled.

 

At the same time, he sighed inwardly with emotion. [Fortunately, the Sacred Land had accepted Qin Yichen; otherwise, without these Compound Pills as a premise, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land truly would not know what it could offer to move Roaring Heaven Sacred Land…]

 

With Compound Pills, he did not need to worry about Roaring Heaven Sacred Land not being tempted.

 

Because for Roaring Heaven Sacred Land, it did not matter which side they leaned towards.

 

For example, if they favored Sky Cliff Pavilion, Roaring Heaven Sacred Land only needed to remain silent, whereas if they helped Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, Roaring Heaven Sacred Land only needed to voice their support.

 

Even if one gave Radiance Sacred Land ten times the courage, they would not dare fall out with Roaring Heaven Sacred Land!

 

“Let’s go, let’s go…” Hearing Elder Hua say this, those two Elders immediately couldn’t wait any longer and hastily urged him.

 

“You two, this matter still requires discussion.” Xu Zhemao attempted to dissuade them.

 

It was not that he wasn’t tempted by the Compound Pills, but rather that he wanted to secure the greatest benefit for the Sacred Land.

 

“What’s there to discuss!?” That hot-tempered Elder immediately glared at him, stating bluntly, “Just go ask the Sacred Master whether he wants us two old fellows or wants Sky Cliff Pavilion’s Pill Formula!”

 

Hearing these words, Xu Zhemao could only smile bitterly.

 

Did this even require a choice!? What could possibly compare in weight to two Peak Heaven Grade Alchemy Masters!?

 

He had severely underestimated the allure of Compound Pills to the Alchemists.

 

…

 

One day later, news emerged from Roaring Heaven Sacred Land that caught all Forces completely off guard.

 

“To be an enemy of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land is to be an enemy of Roaring Heaven Sacred Land!”

 

It was direct, simple, and clear!

 

This region was thrown into tumultuous waves because of this news.

 

No one had anticipated that at such a time, Roaring Heaven Sacred Land would actually protect Brilliant Sky Sacred Land and form an alliance with them.

 

Because everyone understood very clearly that Radiance Sacred Land did not merely want Sky Cliff Pavilion to replace Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, they wanted to completely eliminate Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!

 

Therefore, when Radiance Sacred Land and Sky Cliff Pavilion initially released their announcement, so many Forces had gathered near Brilliant Sky Sacred Land because they all wanted to pick up some advantages and get a share of the spoils.

 

Yet Roaring Heaven Sacred Land’s action undoubtedly crushed those thoughts.

 

With Roaring Heaven Sacred Land present, who would still dare make a move against Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!?

 

…

 

Radiance Sacred Land.

 

Atop Radiance Peak.

 

“Damn it!” The sound of shattering porcelain and angry curses echoed from within the great hall.

 

At this moment, inside the great hall, the high-ranking members of Radiance Sacred Land and Sky Cliff Pavilion were assembled together.

 

Their relationship was almost as close as Family, which showed that Sky Cliff Pavilion’s power was inextricably linked to Radiance Sacred Land. Otherwise, Sky Cliff Pavilion could not have transformed from a First Tier Force into a behemoth comparable to a Sacred Land in just a few decades.

 

Especially in the competition for the rights to revenue from the Saints City Transport Array, Sky Cliff Pavilion’s young generation of experts seem to emerge endlessly, which did not conform to normal patterns.

 

However, if Radiance Sacred Land was assisting them, then everything could be explained.

 

Radiance Sacred Land itself was stronger than Brilliant Sky Sacred Land; transferring a few powerful Disciples to Sky Cliff Pavilion wasn’t much of a problem.

 

Yet at this moment, the atmosphere in the great hall was somewhat oppressive.

 

All around, various porcelain ornaments lay shattered on the ground. Sky Cliff Pavilion’s Pavilion Master and numerous high-ranking members all had unpleasant expressions.

 

Clearly, this was because of Roaring Heaven Sacred Land.

 

“Roaring Heaven Sacred Land actually dares to go back on their word!” The Radiance Sacred Master’s voice carried great rage, making everyone in the great hall somewhat fearful and uneasy.

 

“Sacred Master, this doesn’t make sense. Unless Brilliant Sky Sacred Land produced something of value that exceeds our Nine Apertures Pill Formula.”

 

Beside him, one of Radiance Sacred Master’s Hall Masters hit the nail on the head.

 

“Exactly.” Sky Cliff Pavilion’s Pavilion Master also nodded, though his brows were tightly furrowed.

 

Offering the Nine Apertures Pill Formula was for Sky Cliff Pavilion, even for Radiance Sacred Land, a choice akin to cutting flesh from their own bodies.

 

After all, with this Nine Apertures Pill Formula, in several years’ time, Radiance Sacred Land might even hope to surpass Roaring Heaven Sacred Land.

 

This showed the importance of the Nine Apertures Pill to even Sacred Lands.

 

“Hmph! With just Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, even if they emptied their entire treasury, what could possibly compare to the Nine Apertures Pill Formula!?”

 

Radiance Sacred Master snorted coldly from his mouth, but his expression kept changing.

 

He still was not quite certain whether Roaring Heaven Sacred Land was dissatisfied with only obtaining the Nine Apertures Pill Formula and wanted more, or whether Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had truly produced a Divine Artifact whose value exceeded that of the Nine Apertures Pill Formula.
