Chapter 1201 1200 Gao Yun Goes into Battle

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1200: Gao Yun Goes into Battle Chapter 1201: Chapter 1200: Gao Yun Goes into Battle Flat Sea City was abuzz with activity, drawing the attention of thousands.

After the first round’s loss in the Pill Alliance, the people of the Nine Countries in Flat Sea City fell into a brief silence. The loss had dealt a considerable blow to both the Nine Countries and the Pill Alliance, sinking their previously high morale instantly to rock bottom.

However, soon the second round was about to commence. Despite experiencing a defeat in the first round, the crowd from the Nine Countries was still highly anticipatory of the next two rounds.

“Crush those barbarians from the Seven Seas!”

“Show the might of our Nine Countries!”

“One loss counts for nothing, we must win the next two rounds!”

“I believe the Pill Alliance can definitely win next!”

“That’s right! With Long Zhixin here, there won’t be any problems!”

····

The people of the Nine Countries shouted, and although the first round’s loss had hit them hard, it was after all just the first round. There were two more rounds to go, and winning those could still mean victory for the Pill Alliance.

A few people, however, held a pessimistic view, fearing that in this duel of Alchemy Tao between the two lands, the Pill Alliance might lose.

Having already lost one round, the upcoming two rounds were crucial—none could afford to be lost.

Although Long Zhixin was reassuring, there still was Gao Yun, about whom little was known. If Gao Yun were to lose like Zhang Hongtian had, then even if Long Zhixin performed exceptionally, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

At this moment, some Pill Refiners in the Pill Alliance recalled Fang Lin and sighed to themselves. If Fang Lin could have participated, together with Long Zhixin, they could have surely secured the two rounds without any risks.

Regrettably, mentioning Fang Lin had now become a taboo within the Pill Alliance, let alone having him represent them in combat.

····

“Elder, I wonder which Talent of your alliance will compete in this second round?” Taoist Chongyun asked Elder Tianjun.

Elder Tianjun smiled faintly, “And who will be coming out from your Taoist Sect? Allow this old man a chance to see.”

Taoist Chongyun nodded and glanced over at his fellow sect members.

Walking slowly towards them was a young man with dark skin and a large gourd hung at his waist. He wore a shy smile as he greeted Elder Tianjun with a respectful fist salute.

“This junior, Qian QingZi from the Pill Pulsar of the Taoist Sect, greets Elder Tianjun of the Pill Alliance,” said the dusky young man, Qian QingZi, his demeanor quite humble and polite.

Elder Tianjun narrowed his eyes slightly, observing the large gourd at Qian QingZi’s waist, although it didn’t seem to be anything special.

“What treasures do you carry within that gourd of yours?” Elder Tianjun asked directly.

Taoist Chongyun frowned slightly, while Qian QingZi revealed a mysterious smile, “Well, although you have asked, I must apologize, but I cannot disclose that.”

Elder Tianjun nodded, not questioning further. He had merely asked casually and hadn’t really expected Qian QingZi to reveal anything.

However, after asking this question, Elder Tianjun could guess there might be something extraordinary hidden within Qian QingZi’s large gourd, possibly to be revealed during the pill refining later.

“I have seen the competitor from your Taoist Sect, Elder, now may I know which Talent from your alliance will be competing?” Taoist Chongyun inquired.

Elder Tianjun glanced over at Long Zhixin and two others, then watched as Gao Yun slowly approached, a cold expression on his face. He saluted Elder Tianjun but did not extend the same courtesy to Taoist Chongyun.

Not that Taoist Chongyun minded. After all, there was enmity between the Seven Seas and the Nine Countries, so any show of courtesy was nothing more than an empty gesture.

“Qian Qingzi, be mindful of the limits when the time comes, and leave some dignity for the Talent of the Pill Alliance,” Taoist Chongyun said to Qian Qingzi.

Elder Tianjun’s face showed displeasure as he spoke to Gao Yun, “When others are showing courtesy, don’t you show too much. Bring out your full ability, let them know the prowess of our Pill Alliance.”

Gao Yun nodded and, without even glancing at Qian Qingzi, turned and stepped directly onto the array platform.

Qian Qingzi, with a smile on his face, lightly leaped and also arrived on the platform.

Seeing that it was Gao Yun entering the battle, many spectators below showed worried expressions, for Gao Yun was not very familiar to them and not as reassuring as Long Zhixin entering the battle.

“Everyone, don’t worry so much. Ten years ago, Gao Yun was quite a dazzling figure.”

“Indeed, in my view, Gao Yun entering the battle might have a better chance of winning than Long Zhixin.”

“Ten years ago, there were hardly a few in the entire Pill Alliance who could match him.”

····

Many from the Pill Alliance who knew Gao Yun spoke to the people of the Nine Countries, giving them some confidence and morale.

However, even as they said this, most people from the Nine Countries were still very worried about Gao Yun. Could someone who had lain low for ten years really achieve victory and defeat that Taoist Sect’s Pill Refiner?

If it had not been for a loss in the first round, the people of the Nine Countries might not have been so worried, but because they had already lost the first round, this second round was crucial. The stakes were too high to afford another loss, which was why they were so concerned.

On the array platform, the two Pill Furnaces had been replaced, and Gao Yun and Qian Qingzi stood behind their respective furnaces, eyeing each other.

“You two will each refine a Phoenix Sun Pill, with a time limit of five sticks of incense. The rules are the same as with the first round,” said Elder Tianjun, and someone from the Pill Alliance had already lit a long incense stick.

The Phoenix Sun Pill is also a fifth-grade pill, with a refining difficulty even higher than the Jade Heart Pill and is one with a high failure rate. Many Masters of Pill are reluctant to refine such pills.

As soon as Elder Tianjun’s words fell, Gao Yun immediately started, showing no signs of dragging his feet.

The flames swirled around, enveloping the blue Pill Furnace, and Qian Qingzi was not just watching; he raised his right hand, and the Soul Commanding Pill Fire appeared.

Both were equipped with only one type of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, but from the aura, it seemed that Gao Yun’s was somewhat stronger.

“This Gao Yun’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire seems stronger than the opposite Seven Seas Barbarian’s.”

“Naturally, and his control over the Soul Commanding Pill Fire is also very strong; he was famous for his fire control abilities ten years ago.”

“Having an edge in Soul Commanding Pill Fire is advantageous, but we still need to see the real skills.”

“What’s most worrying is if that Seven Seas Barbarian uses some disgraceful tactics again.”

·····

The second round of the competition began, and many martial artists and pill refiners from the Nine Countries intently watched, praying in their hearts for a win this time.

Meanwhile, on the platform, Gao Yun and Qian Qingzi were methodically proceeding with the pill refining steps, with nothing seemingly out of the ordinary.

Huff~

But just then, Gao Yun made a move that surprised everyone.

The Soul Commanding Pill Fire swept out, transforming into a roaring tiger, and charged directly towards Qian Qingzi.
