326: Chapter 325: Pill King Competition 326: Chapter 325: Pill King Competition In the hall, there were already quite a few disciples waiting.

Lin Xuan pushed Old Man Di Que slowly forward, his expression calm and collected.

Seeing Old Man Di Que calmed the anxious hearts of many present.

“Ah Hai, what happened, why have you come back?” Old Man Di Que asked.

“Valley Master, it’s bad news.

The word’s spread like wildfire outside,” Ah Hai said anxiously.

“The Medicine Emperor Institute has just refined a batch of Healing Pills, claiming they’re even better than our Hemostatic Solid Pills.”

“What?” everyone exclaimed in shock.

“Isn’t the Medicine Emperor Institute specialized in recovery type elixir pills?

Since when did they also start developing Healing Pills?”

“Impossible, our Dan King Hall’s Healing Pills are the best on the market!”

The group buzzed with discussion.

Despite their words of disbelief, their expressions revealed deep anxiety.

“Enough!” Old Man Di Que said sternly, “Don’t panic.

The competition is drawing near, and this might well be a tactic by our enemies to disrupt our morale.”

“Everybody stay calm.

Even if they really have refined a new medicine, we have nothing to fear.”

“Because we will soon release a new Elixir Pill of our own, one that is much more effective than the previous ones!”

“The Valley Master is wise!”

“The Valley Master is mighty!”

Heartened by Old Man Di Que’s words, the crowd relaxed.

Though everyone dispersed, Lin Xuan knitted his brows.

The aggressive stance of the Medicine Emperor Institute was not a good sign.

“Don’t worry, my young friend Lin,” Old Man Di Que said.

“I have great confidence in the new pills we’ve refined.”

During his recent seclusion, he had been researching this new medicine and believed that no one could surpass him in the field of Healing Pills.

In Feng Yue City, there lay a majestic palace sprawling over a vast area—the Medicine Emperor Institute.

“Dean, the news has been released—the shock is widespread, and everyone is looking forward to it,” a martial artist said respectfully.

“However, Dan King Hall isn’t really buying it.”

“Hmph, those fools.

Do they really think their elixir technique is unmatched in this world?” A dignified middle-aged man sneered atop the grand hall.

“This time, we’ll show them that there’s always a higher sky.”

“Hehe, this time we’ll surely bring down Dan King Hall!”

“It’s all thanks to Elder Hei Xin’s help.

You truly are a benefactor to our Medicine Emperor Institute!” A group of elders conversed and laughed in the seats below.

At the head seat sat an old man in a black robe, cackling, “I do hope you won’t forget our agreement, Dean Song.”

“Rest assured, as long as we can take down Dan King Hall and win the championship of the Pill King Battle, I will honor your terms without fail!” Song Yunxing laughed loudly.

Time hurried along, and in the blink of an eye, the day for the Pill King Battle to start had arrived.

On this day, the Engraving Alliance issued a notice, officially announcing the commencement of the Pill King Battle!

Since this was not the first competition, everyone was clear about the rules.

In the upcoming month, the only things needed were to exhibit the best Elixir Pills and to promote them vigorously.

Whoever could win the hearts of the martial artists, who could seize the market, would be the victor.

There were dozens of forces participating in the Pill King Battle, but the most eye-catching were Dan King Hall and the Medicine Emperor Institute.

Both had comparable strength, being the top-tier Elixir Medicine Forces in Heavenly Mountain Country, and had been openly and secretly clashing for many years, each with their own unique aspects.

This time, whoever could produce new top-grade Elixir Pills might just be able to suppress the other.

First came Dan King Hall, introducing new Elixir Pills—a upgraded version of Hemostatic Solid Pills—Blood Coagulation Solid Pills, with effectiveness enhanced by about twenty percent.

The moment these pills were released, they immediately caught the wide attention of many martial artists.

Moreover, the pills were promptly sent to the Engraving Alliance, where the elders confirmed that the efficacy was indeed as stated.

Suddenly, many martial artists scrambled to purchase them, nearly bursting through the gates of Dan King Hall.

During the competition, the participating Elixir Pills were sold at a twenty percent discount.

Such opportunities were rare, and many people would buy numerous batches to stock up.

After all, such Elixir Pills were extremely useful and might be needed at any moment.

The Blood Coagulation Solid Pill appeared on the market and immediately squeezed out the similar elixirs of dozens of other Elixir Medicine Forces, occupying nearly eighty percent of the Healing Pills market.

For a time, everyone at Dan King Hall was extraordinarily excited, with both the Second and Third Hall Masters grinning from ear to ear.

While Dan King Hall celebrated, other Elixir Medicine Forces shook their heads in resignation, the Medicine Emperor Institute loudly announced the arrival of a new medicine.

As Heavenly Mountain Country’s top Elixir Medicine Force, every move of the Medicine Emperor Institute attracted countless attentions.

Especially on the eve of the competition, there were rumors that they had made a breakthrough in refining a new Healing Pill.

Apart from that, they were also the frontrunners in the domain of restorative elixirs.

“What kind of medicine could the Medicine Emperor Institute possibly be launching?” People anticipated.

Soon enough, the Institute’s new medicine was born, and to everyone’s surprise, it was indeed a Healing Pill.

“I’m sure you all know that our Medicine Emperor Institute’s restorative elixirs, the Spirit Returning Pills, significantly surpass other similar elixirs in effect.”

“After many years of research, we recently made a breakthrough in Healing Pills and refined a new elixir, the Snow Lotus Jade Clearing Pill.”

“This elixir’s effectiveness exceeds that of the Hemostatic Solid Pill by a good thirty percent!” declared Dean Song Yunxing in a loud voice.

The sound was like thunder, traveling far and wide, audible throughout the entire Wind Moon City.

Instantly, the crowd was abuzz.

An effectiveness thirty percent better than the Hemostatic Solid Pill was enough to scare people to death!

You see, Dan King Hall’s new Blood Coagulation Solid Pill had only improved by twenty percent.

The Snow Lotus Jade Clearing Pill’s effectiveness exceeded that of the Blood Coagulation Solid Pill by an entire level.

Once this news spread, the entirety of Heavenly Mountain Country was in an uproar!

For so many years, Dan King Hall had always led in the field of Healing Elixir Pills, dominating the market.

Now, at last, a new medicine had appeared that surpassed the elixirs of Dan King Hall.

And that new medicine’s creator was none other than the Medicine Emperor Institute!

If this news was true, it would mean that the Medicine Emperor Institute would not only monopolize the restorative elixir market but also take over the market for Healing Pills.

This would undoubtedly be a tremendous blow to Dan King Hall.

“Is the power dynamic about to shift?” Many people felt a sense of oppression, like the darkness before a storm.

“Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!”

The people from Dan King Hall refused to believe it!

They were the kings of the Healing Elixir Pill domain; even they hadn’t managed to refine such an efficacious pill.

How could the Medicine Emperor Institute do so?

Although that was what they believed, others did not think the same, and many martial artists rushed to the Medicine Emperor Institute to try it for themselves.

“It must be fake.

When the time comes, I’ll report them for spreading false information and get their competition qualifications revoked!” bellowed Wu Xiong, the Third Hall Master, in anger.

“Don’t be hasty, let the Engraving Alliance verify it, and the rumors will collapse on their own,” said the Second Hall Master in a grave tone.

The Second Hall Master of Dan King Hall was an old lady, her head adorned with Golden Flowers, and was also known as Granny Jin Hua.

She instructed the Disciples to stay calm and wait for the Engraving Alliance’s validation result.

Yet, reality was even crueller.

Half a day later, the Engraving Alliance announced their findings.

The effects of the Snow Lotus Jade Clearing Pill were exactly as the Medicine Emperor Institute had claimed, not a trace of falsehood.

Furthermore, the Engraving Alliance offered their evaluation, stating it was currently the best Healing Pill in Heavenly Mountain Country.

All of Heavenly Mountain Country was boiling with excitement as innumerable martial artists swarmed the Medicine Emperor Institute.

Meanwhile, Dan King Hall was engulfed in dead silence.
