East of the Clear Jade City. This part of the city is covered with a huge lake. Although the scenery is beautiful, today, an unknown aura cause most of the visitor to turn away from entering this location. A total of three men could be seen walking along the way, floating above the lake water as they slowly walk toward the Clear Jade City. The leader among the three, possess a scholar look-a-like feature, handsome and gentle, yet properly educated to understands the rules within the mortal world. The white robe he's wearing contains a lining of silver along on his shoulder, and collar, indicating a certain position holds within his background.
The two person by his side, also possess a similar cultivation strength, but in term of manners, this two person is more cheerful and playful, but from their facial features, one could easily deduce them to be a pair of twins. Their white robe contains a hint of red lining within its shoulder and collar, which clearly indicates their status within their faction, but through an initial expression, this three person is seen bearing no ill-intent as they walk closer towards the city.
As the winds blow across the three of them, a piece of Stone Tablet appeared from the man with Silver Lining on his robe, along on his waist belt. The Token is entirely made with a special kind of unknown material, with the design almost similar to Yu Men from the House of Thousand Pills. But if taken into a comparison, Yu Men's Token would be seen as lack of lustre to be compared with this person's Tablet, as his tablet itself, it seems to be one of the Spirit Tool with special power within.
While on the west, a group of four cultivators is threading across the Forest of West Jade by stepping from one tree to another. The four of them dressed in a black robe with red lining across their collar and end of their wrist part. At the waist belt of each of them, a piece of Wooden made Token could be seen, with a word "BA" is written on it. (BA means Tyrant in Chinese). Each of them possesses an overbearing kind of attitude as they walk, and on their back, a giant sword is seen hanging with some blood stain still sticking on the handle and the sword's holder.
Along with their path, no matter how strong is the Cultivation Beast appears within their sight, will be killed without any mercy, indicating their overbearing attitude is even applied to the beast and nature itself, as this group of four is travelling in speed to enter the Clear Jade City. Even within the Arena, three spectators could be seen covering their over-bearing robe by layering it with a plain robe.
Another group of Cultivators appears from the north, after the mountain path area. This group is more relaxed than the first two, where they are actually travelling on the back of a Fourth Heaven Grade Cultivation Beast - the Four Wing Storm Falcon. Each of them above standing on this Cultivation Beast is dressed in a totally red coloured uniform, with a huge word "BEAST" behind them.
Possessing such a high-grade cultivation beast, one could easily guess, that this faction, is the well-known people from the Beast Taming School! A total of ten people is travelling within this group, with their destination most probably the Arena within Clear Jade City's Bronze Pill Hall. But within this group, one especially significant cultivator is standing directly on the top of the Four Wing Storm Falcon's head. Dressed in similar uniform like the other nine person does, but his robe contains a slightly longer indent of the black line across his chest, indicating that this person perhaps possesses a higher status compared with the other nine of them.
On the south, two factions could be seen travelling together, as they make their trip in a hurry. One group is dressed is similarly Black and White robe, with a word YinYang on their chest, while another is one possess a Yang Token in each member's waist belt. This two group of people is known to be extremely friendly with one another, because of the relationship is built by their ancestors at least close to thousand years ago.

" the Tenth Spot, Tie Peng, with a total of three Master-Rank Second Category YinYang Recovering Pill. A very good work!" Elder Yang announces the tenth seat as he walked over to the next table. "Ninth Spot, Liu Tsung, with two Master-Rank Second Category Heart Replenishing Pill. This Pill is extremely hard to make even with sufficient amount of ingredients. Totally a delightful day it is to allow me to have the luck to see this Pill once again." Elder Yang ends his evaluation, as all the attention turned towards the other four elders.
"Eighth Spot, Nan Jing Jing, with a total of three Master-Rank Second Category Metal Fluid Concoction. You must be putting a lot of effort to be successfully refined such a smooth and viscous Concoction." Elder Fen is the next to give out his evaluation. As a master of Pill Dissembling, Elder Feng is totally impressed with Nan Jing Jing's skill in maintaining the viscous appearance of such concoction, because the more viscous is the Metal Fluid Concoction, the higher is quality. Currently, this viscosity can only allow it to step into the Second Category, but if a better quality Ingredient and Sub-Ingredient is used, perhaps even Third Category would be possible, based on her current results.
Seventh Spot, Yue Ying, with a total of three Master-Rank Second Category Spear Storm Pill. This examination must be really profitable for you, as the ingredient to concoct this Pill is totally within the offer of the Eight Diagram Beast Harvesting Formation, am I correct? To be able to concoct it into such a grade, I believe if you would use it in a battle, even a Late Human Practitioner Realm Cultivator will have a hard time to defend against your weapon. Good Job!" Elder Fen finished his word as he returned to a corner, allowing Elder Hun to appear next.
"Chen Nan and Gou Yu, you both are tie in the 5th position, after all, five of us finally decided due to the similarity of the Pills you both refined. Chen Nan, your five Master-Rank Second Category Blood Yin Freezing Poison is potent enough to be used in battle. Added with your expertise in this Poison Master Field, it became even more astonishing, because the way you concoct this Pill is very special instead." Elder Hun continues to praise him.
"Compared to those masters that usually refine the Blood Devil Rat in a while, your process of only nourish and refine their fattest Liver part is most admirable. Since you even understand the fact that from the Eight Diagram Beast Gathering Formation is to increase the potency of all ingredients, we only have one word to say, Well Done!" Elder Hun couldn't help but to continue to praise Chen Nan on his capability in refining such a specialized Blood Yin Freezing Poison.
"As for you, Gou Yu, your rows of Formation Pills is extremely profound. Although their quality is quite well made, without sufficient knowledge, one might find it hard to control properly. But nevertheless, the way this formation Pill is made is extremely careful and well planned. Is this one of Elder Zhi Ruo's ranked recipe?" Elder Hun asked.
"Yes, the recipe belonged to my master Zhi Ruo. This is one of her proudest work that yet to is announced to the world, its name is [Five Death Formation Pill]." Gou Yu explains the background of this certain Pills he was creating, as well on its recipe. Unbelievable to the five elders, even themselves are not too clear on the method of this Pill could be used. But from the Five Types of Pills, separated into two sets, this [Five Death Formation Pill] is believed to be carrying the effect of an area of control upon activation.
With his part is finally ends, Elder Lian steps up and started to talk. "Zhang Pu, how did you find that single string of Veins hidden deep within the Muscle Rich Yang Ape?" Elder Lian questioned because the Pill refined by Zhang Pu managed to obtain an amazing point from the five elders, especially from Elder Lian himself. "Dear Elder, Zhang Pu have a martial art called as the Vein Cutter Hundred Strikes, an art that allows the mastery of Vein Cutting and Vein destroying towards the opponent when clashes are unavoidable. The moment that Muscle Rich Yang Ape is furiously attacking as it determines me to be the weaker one, is the best moment to harvest that richest String Vein within its body." Zhang Pu explained.
"I see, that's how you managed to obtain this rare and special Yang Vein String from that Ape. Even somebody in their practitioner realm might have difficulties to find this single Yang Vein String. Fourth Seat, Zhang Pu, with the results of two Master-Rank Third Category Pill, the Muscle Mass Enhancement Concoction!" Elder Lian announces his results, as the fourth place of the top ten best disciples.
"Next, is the Third Seat, Huang Ying!" Elder Lian called Huang Ying's name, but the moment this name is called, the people from Xuan Wu Jade City is slightly disappointed, as they were wishing hard for her to be placed in the Champion Seat. "With results of three Master-Rank Third Category Pill, the Invulnerable Enhancement Pill!" even Elder Lian himself felt nervous as he announces the type of Pill is refined by this extremely skilful disciple among the thousand they tested from the start.
"I know most people might have no idea about what this Invulnerable Enhancement Pill is about, but roughly, what I could say is, if you met an Adept Realm cultivator that possess one of this Pill before fighting them with your Elder stage strength, listen to my advice, and escape without looking back." Elder Lian jokingly explained the speciality of this Pill.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"This recipe actually belonged to one of the Great Elder in the Xuan Wu Jade City, I hate to say but if I'm the one fighting against him when he had taken this Pill, my winning chances might drop from 80% to barely 30% immediately. The Pill is known to be providing the user with an enhancement of One full Realm increment of strength and cultivation for the timespan of 30 minutes. During the activation time, the user's body capability will increase as well, adding the rejuvenating capability as the fight goes along on its way." Elder Lian finished his explanation as he returned to his spot.
Finally, after waiting for everyone to breath for a few minutes, Elder Zhan walked out from his spot, and begin to starts talking. "Chu Yi and Long Feng, come over here." Elder Zhan had the two finalists to came before him, as he stares at both of them clearly as if his mind is penetrating their soul and trying to spot a single darkness within them.
"If I could only choose two Champions, you both will be qualified more than enough to take this position. But unfortunately, there could only be one winner at the end, and the one who will be taking this second seat unfortunately within this examination is Chu Yi." Elder Zhan hesitates for a moment before he announces the one that is a little weaker between the two.
"Chu Yi, do not felt dejected by this results. Sometimes, luck still plays a big part in a person's life. Be strong and confident with yourself, because your talent and everything else, do not lose to Long Feng at all." Elder Zhan placed his hand on Chu Yi's shoulder as he calms the young kid before he fell into despair. He knows this result would be the most heartbreaking compared to the other seats, because of the difficulty to struggle until you managed to come so far. This is also the reason why Elder Zhan calmly announce the results, because if he doesn't handle this issue well, he might contribute in making the Pill Hall lost one of its strongest talents within the Pill Hall, as well creating an Inner Demon within Chu Yi, where it will slowly corrode this youngster mind and ruin his future.
"Your Master-Rank Fourth Category Pill, the Seven River Purity Pill is extremely well made. Such a treasured Pill that will help a cultivator to advance from the Human Stage into a Heaven Stage upon consumption, is hardly heard. What's more, this Pill could also help in removing the impurities within the cultivator's body and aiding him or her to cultivate more effectively, is even harder to be heard before."
"This must be the reason why no matter what, the Seven Coloured River Snake is willingly following you even after its core is harvested to aid you in refining this Pill." Elder Zhan looked at the sleeping rainbow coloured snake on the table, tired and weak because of having its most important core taken out to be refined. The described snake is one of the only two Cultivation Beast within the whole Eight Diagram Beast Harvesting Formation that will not die even after their two special ingredients is taken away from them.
Although they will not die if their parts are taken out as refining ingredients, to obtain this precious ingredient, a person needs to have something more valuable than anything a person could possess, which is "Trust" itself. Same to how it obtains the name, the Seven Coloured River Snake required to gave Chu Yi a total of Seven test, to see if this human is worthy of its precious body part to be taken away, and Chu Yi managed to score within this part with a totally full point.
"Long Feng, without anymore empty praises and flattery words, you are the chosen champion for this year Thousand Herbal Garden Opening Examination. Congratulations." Elder Zhan turned towards Long Feng as he announces him to be the champion. The moment this word came out from his mouth, the five Silver Faction finally appears outside of the Arena, taking over the whole Arena and covering them with Essence Energy Seal that could quietly block all messages to be delivered out from this Arena.
Although what happened outside of the Arena is not noticed by those within, but without fail, the Silver Pill Hall had already begun to position their most valuable fighting force, just for the sake of preserving as much talent as they could while this Arena is still under their control. Without fail, almost a hundred capable fighting force came out from behind the stage, with the strength of between Elder Realm to Peak Master Realm is standing on guard in all direction.
"The Pill concocted by Long Feng is so far the second highest grade throughout all the tournaments that had been held so far. This Four Pills belonged to the Highest Peak of Master-Rank, a titled Sage Sixth Category Profound Pill that believed to be the Golden Jade Holy Pill!" Elder Zhan announces the name of Pills that was refined by Long Feng personally, and as the name came out from his lips, everyone within the Arena had gone into a Pill frenzy.
"Golden Jade Holy Pill, it's actually that mysterious God made Pill! If I could actually get one from that cauldron, my 18 generation life will go along wealthy and smooth until it ends!" one cultivator immediately shows his greed, as his strength of an Early Human Elder Realm is released. But the moment he activated his strength, even more, people started to have a hint of greed within their eyes.
A Pill that would allow the cultivator to open his door to one additional elemental essence, how profound and rare is this Pill? With the status of a Sage Title on the Pill, it means that within that four Pills, one would have a 20% of the chances to obtain that additional element no matter what. Barely five minutes pass after the announcement, the whole Arena full of spectators, had turned them into greedy and ruthless wolves. Even those from House of Miraculous Jade couldn't help but have a hint of wanted to own that Pill for their faction.
"Everyone within this Arena, I hope you all could control yourselves and give some face to our Silver Pill Hall!" Elder Zhan loudly warns all those that were present within the Arena, along with the burst of energy released by the hundred cultivators specially arranged to this Arena by the five Primary Elders. But this situation doesn't go too well before some additional uninvited guest appears from above the Opened Roof.
"Brother Zhan, you are still as domineering as ever!" the person stood on top of the Four Wing Storm Falcon slowly descends towards the centre of the Arena speaks. "Another King Realm cultivator! He is from the Beast Taming School!" many spectators immediately recognize the dress code that specially used by the people belonged to the Beast Taming School.
"Feng Hao! You actually dare to step into our Pill Hall's land!" Elder Zhan looked at this King Realm cultivator named Feng Hao and at the same time, withdraws his weapon to get ready to fight him. But in the same moment he finishes his words, four more extremely amazing figure descends at the same way Feng Hao does within that split second.
"Elder Zhan and other four Primary Elders, good day." the male believed to belong to the House of Hundred Pills is descending along with Feng Hao as he pays his greeting to the elders. "Ninth Core Disciple, Xie Yu Yan from the House of Hundred Pills! What an eye opener for this old man!" Elder Zhan immediately recognizes this person before his eyes.
"Elder Zhan, good day to you all as well, brother Feng, Brother Xie, how are you both?" another one person appears beside the three, with one more person behind him keeping quiet. "What an honour to see both Yang Younger Generation's Yang Bu Hui and the YinYang Formation Sect's Core Disciple Qin Yang Yi appears within this small Arena." Elder Zhan facial expression becomes gloomy, as the number of King Realm cultivators within his eyes already grown into four, compared with the five of them.
"I think I'm the last one to arrive. Greetings everyone." the final man that came from the Forest of West Jade finally appeared. "What the hell is happened today! Even the Tyrant Family is here today, and not anyone from them but the Youngest Master, Ba Guo Yue!" Elder Zhan totally speechless with all this happening. With a total of five Primary Elders in the King Realm against the five King Realm cultivators, this fight might end up as stalemate without any positive results.
Additionally, the five Silver forces actually came here with their companion and not alone. If any of their companions possess strength comparable to a Peak Master Realm cultivation, they will be a trouble for the Silver Pill Hall even if a hundred protectors join into this battle. And with this five faction of power entered the Arena, Elder Zhan had already noticed the difference in essence undulation and could guess that the whole Arena had been covered by a strange formation that will stop any information from within to spread towards the outside world.
"Say, what is your intention here!" Elder Zhan angrily shouts at the five uninvited guest. But as the four chuckle, while looking at each other, Xie Yu Yan politely reply Elder Zhan's question. "Dear Brother Zhan, Yu Yan is here just to have a word with little brother Long Feng, I will leave afterwards." Xie Yu Yan's word is simple and straight to the point. Before Elder Zhan even replied his word, the former already walked over to Long Feng's direction, bearing a friendly and warm smile.
"Well, well. I guess there will be only four of us here that wish to get that instead. Listen here, brother Zhan, we want a Golden Jade Holy Pill for each of us here!" Feng Hao announces his motive to came over here especially on today. "Ridiculous and prosperous! Do you think that the Silver Pill Hall's sub branch is a place you can easily come and go after showing your intention to want our things?" Elder Zhan replied angrily.
"Brother Zhan, among the five of you, only brother Zhan have the capability to handle me in my Middle Heaven King Realm strength. Your four brothers are only at their Early Earth King Tier, do you think they could handle Yang Bu Hui, Qin Yang Yi and Ba Guo Yue's Early Heaven King Realm strength? " Feng Hao choose his words carefully as he blurts it out towards Elder Zhan. Even a blind person could felt the hint of disrespect within his words.
"You!" Elder Zhan anger already reaches its top, but he too understands the difference between their strength compared to the four of them. But then, within the sky, three loud bang could be heard, as the vibration from the impact thoroughly pass through everyone within the Arena until it reached the centre of the Oval Ground. "Feng Hao, Yang Bu Hui, Qin Yang Yi and Ba Guo Yue. You four actually dare to come and disturb our special day?" one person speaks, as another two shadow follow up behind this figure. The three of them stands at the roof haughtily as they looked at those below.
"Hahaha, I wouldn't guess that even the Silver Pill Hall protector, Honoured Elder Bai will personally show himself today!" a laugh could be heard from the spectator's seats, and following behind, an old man with a long beard and a pair of white long eyebrows appears from the seats. The moment he tears off the piece of skin covering his face, a surge of an unbelievable amount of Essence energy came out from his body as his identity is revealed.
"Heavenly Ascension School's Honoured Elder, Late King Ye Yuan!"
