Chapter 1106: Never Pity

started the fight in the first place. Shen Xiang had only retaliated."It was you that started the fight, and I didn't take action for no reason. It's your fault that your Immortal Sword was destroyed...Chapter 1106: Never Spare

Even though there were so many immortal crystals, Shen Xiang would never follow their lead. Furthermore, he didn't have them now, hence why he ignored them. At this moment, he saw that the people who came for the assessment brought out a storage bag and placed it before him. This time, an old man came to collect them.

If they confirmed that there were 100,000 immortal crystals inside the storage bag, then the old man would take out a decent quality furnace and three ingredients for Tier D Upper-grade pills.

Shen Xiang was here for the first time and didn't know about this sub-routine. But others seemed to have prepared beforehand, but when the old man saw him remain indifferent, he reminded again, only for Shen Xiang to still not bring out the 100,000 immortal crystals.

Everyone frowned at Shen Xiang, but many knew that this guy definitely didn't know the rules and hence had no preparations. In everyone's eyes, Shen Xiang would definitely fail this assessment and waste the registration fee.

In the end, Shen Xiang received three very poor quality ingredients and a low-grade furnace. This made Shen Xiang feel very unhappy, as his impression of the Holy City took a hit. He was very curious about who controlled the Holy Pill Temple, why they were so dark. If this place was Heaven, he would have long destroyed and burned the place.

There were quite a few experts in this Holy City, there were even several people with the same strength as Great Dharma Preceptor Tai Yuan. Hence, Shen Xiang planned to keep a low profile.

The quality of these ingredients was bad, but they could still be refined into pills. Even if they were waste ingredients, he could refine Life Pills from them.

Refining three Tier D Upper-grade pills required continuous refining in order to pass the assessment. Failure was not allowed even once, hence he couldn't be careless. The quality of the ingredients and furnace were crucial to success from everyone's perspective, although this made him rather unhappy, he had no choice but to obediently bring out the 100,000 immortal crystals.

Shen Xiang saw the faces of those exam supervisors and was worried not about whether he could refine Life Pills, but rather if they would meddle. He knew quite a few people like them and although he didn't care about the immortal crystals here, 100,000 immortal crystals was still a large sum of money for him. Unless they were well-known pill masters, he would not care about that little bit of immortal crystals.

Although the furnace was rather bad quality, from Shen Xiang's perspective it was enough. The ingredients he refined Life Pills with were very poor quality, they were the worst ones possible and looked like those old men had intentionally prepared them to make things difficult for him.

Shen Xiang brought his own auxiliary ingredients as well. Shen Xiang's auxiliary ingredients were extremely miraculous, they could make up for deficiencies in the primary ingredient.

"As long as you manage to refine three furnace-fulls of pills within six hours, then you pass the gold pill master assessment!" An old man said and looked at everyone. His gaze passed over Shen Xiang deliberately, showing a fierce expression.

"If we catch you cheating, I will have to throw you out," he said.

The registration fee was 10,000 immortal crystals while Tier D Upper-grade pills could only go for at most 6 or 7 hundred immortal crystals, hence three would cost no more than three pills. Holy Pill Temple must be making a huge profit from this, not counting the 100,000 immortal crystals as part of the hidden rules here.

Shen Xiang saw that the rule-makers were all for their own benefits and wanted to prevent ordinary people from competing with them. In short, they were exploiting ordinary people while the ones who gained most were those at the top, followed by a small number of pill masters.

In Holy City, no one was allowed to trade pills privately. If found out, they would be considered to have broken the rules and placed on a black list, with reasons that were to prevent people from using low-quality pills in private trades for profit… etc. In short, it was said to be very grand.

"Even thieves are the same everywhere, I wonder if Ten Thousand Li Emperor was like this" Shen Xiang thought silently.

Everyone already started refining pills. Pill furnaces were all冒著 faint flames, the level of those participating in assessments was good enough and the ability to control fire here was rare.

Shen Xiang had an idea. He wanted to gather quite a few excellent pill masters and bring them back, his Dragon Gate needed to be strengthened. Bringing only him and Li Baojun was a great burden for him.

In order to avoid too much attention, Shen Xiang only planned on refining one Life Pill per furnace and slowed down his speed greatly. Revealing too much brilliance would bring a lot of trouble.

Shen Xiang had already grasped the 5th Layer Transformation Method, but he was only using forth-layer at this moment. This would make his process much easier as it consumed very little resources.

Refining one Life Pill took him two hours, which was like playing for Shen Xiang. Those exam supervisors saw that Shen Xiang could successfully refine one furnace-full, and were secretly displeased. They hoped very much that Shen Xiang would fail when refining the next furnace.

The second furnace, Shen Xiang again smoothly refined a high-quality Life Pill and other pill masters looked at him in awe. Initially, they thought Shen Xiang was a bumbling person who didn't know the rules and hence believed his pills weren't very good either. But when they saw Shen Xiang refining two Life Pills in a row, their hearts secretly admired him.

These low-quality pill furnaces and poor ingredients were very hard to refine pills from, but Shen Xiang could do it meant his level was higher than most pill masters here.

Most people participating in the assessment were aiming to pass and only a small number failed, most managed to pass. It had already been five hours now, everyone else had long left because they all had good ingredients and pill furnaces to finish their assessments quickly, then head off for a gold medal.

Of course, if Shen Xiang was not delaying his speed deliberately, he would have completed the assessment fastest of all.

Shen Xiang was deliberately delaying until very near the end before opening his pill furnace. At this moment, he saw those old men's faces looking impatient and secretly laughed to himself.

If it wasn't because of Shen Xiang, those old men would have already left three hours ago. But now they had to wait until the very end for him and they were all pill masters too, being able to see that Shen Xiang's level wasn't low. If they had good ingredients and pill furnaces, he would definitely be faster than other pill masters, hence they didn't have to wait anymore.

If Shen Xiang completed the assessment quickly, he would have been fastest by far.

Shen Xiang opened the cover of his pill furnace in the half-hour before it ended, taking out a Life Pill.

"I completed!" Shen Xiang said. He saw the old men's eyes flicker with cunning.

"Time has ended, come back next time!" An old man said coldly.

"Isn't there still half an hour left" Shen Xiang said, angered.

Another old man shouted, "I told you time's up! Hurry and leave or we won't be polite!"

"Leave quickly! Your cheating doesn't mean that we didn't see it, we know you cheated! We just gave you a chance to come back again!"

Come back again Was it for another 100,000 immortal crystals

Shen Xiang silently chuckled to himself. He clenched his fists until they made a clicking sound, originally he didn't plan on causing trouble. But these old men were too annoying, they couldn't spare them!y, the profit would be in hundreds of millions, and he would continue selling tomorrow too.Only Shen Xiang, Feng Yujie and Shui Bingyan were left in the hall. Shen Xiang hadn’t recovered completely ye...
