"Heavenly Tribulation?"

This Heavenly Tribulation came suddenly and inexplicably, shocking everyone, as they couldn't understand how such a thing could appear at the pill competition site.

Normally, a Heavenly Tribulation only appears when a strong practitioner is about to make a breakthrough, approaching or surpassing the limits of a world...

"Its power isn't strong."

The moment the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, many Void Profound Old Monsters were startled, but upon discovering that its power was rather weak, barely equivalent to the strength of a Golden Core, they breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't caused by them...

Even if such a Heavenly Tribulation affected them, it wouldn't be significant, and its power wouldn't increase much.

Despite this, to be cautious, these old monsters moved slightly away.

"No need to panic."

Subsequently, Lin Jing from the Alchemy Land slowly spoke again.

"This Heavenly Tribulation is a Pill Tribulation."

"It's caused by the pill."

"Our unique Thunder Refining technique requires surviving the Pill Tribulation after the pill is formed to be deemed a success."

"So, this marks the final step of our alchemy..."

"It won't affect the cultivator much, but... for other pills, who knows."

With Lin Jing's words, the entire audience was stunned.

Pill Tribulation?

The three major Pill Sects remained silent.

The concept of a Pill Tribulation was unheard of, but Lin Jing's mention of the Thunder Refining technique startled the three Pill Sects.

Though they didn't know what this Thunder Refining technique was, the fact that it could cause a pill to attract a Heavenly Tribulation raised questions about what pill this Longevity Body was concocting.

They were certain that Heavenly Tribulations are not easily attracted; even if Lin Jing's otherworldly flame was of the highest quality Heavenly Thunder Flame, attracting a Heavenly Tribulation was nothing short of a fantasy.

Thus, the only conclusion left was that the pill Lin Jing was concocting seemed to be some sort of forbidden one.

The three major Pill Sects hadn't had high expectations for Lin Jing's pill, but now, gazing at the sudden lightning, they felt that matters weren't so simple.

"Damn it!" Upon realizing it was a Pill Tribulation, the Void Profound Old Monsters felt relieved, but the other alchemists present at the Alchemy Land were dumbfounded.

As Lin Jing mentioned, the Pill Tribulation wouldn't particularly affect cultivators, but it did affect pills!

A clap of thunder struck the Transformation Pill spit out by the Dragon Carp, but to everyone's surprise, the third-grade pill remained unscathed after the thunderous strike. But in that moment, the tribulation lightning waves that descended upon the Alchemy Land scattered widely.

The residual lightning also targeted the incomplete pills of the other contestants.

This Pill Tribulation, Lin Jing had experimented with it—it doesn't affect people, only pills. If there were pills nearby the Transformation Pill that hadn't survived the Pill Tribulation, they would definitely be affected too.

This led to the instant the Transformation Pill was formed, with a "bang," the alchemists still concocting pills at the competition site experienced explosions!

Though they bore the brunt of the Heavenly Thunder Flame's might, they couldn't withstand the Pill Tribulation's effects.

In that instant, the contestants had murderous thoughts.

Even Jiegeng Alchemist, who initially harbored no ill will towards Lin Jing, stared blankly at the exploded pill.

"Damned..."

However, as Lin Jing acquired the Transformation Pill, they took a deep breath and couldn't help but wonder what kind of pill this was.

Why... could it attract a Pill Tribulation?

The competition lasted for several days, and as long as a pill was concocted within these days, it counted as a success. Now that Lin Jing had already succeeded, even if they had exploded their furnaces, they could concoct again...

"Finally succeeded..."

At this moment, Lin Jing, holding the Transformation Pill, smiled.

He looked towards the three major Pill Sects and said, "Elders of the Sun and Moon Pill Sect, may I test the pill now?"

"You may." The Sun and Moon Pill Sect elder took a deep breath and said, "What kind of pill did you concoct, and what is its name?"

"To attract a Pill Tribulation, unheard of; you and this, both impressive, worthy of being a pill beast with the bloodline of a flame treasure beast..."

Lin Jing held the pill and said, "This pill has two names, one derived from its effect—I'll keep that a mystery for now."

"The second name is 'Death,' a pill that can bring death."

Death?

The crowd was puzzled.

"Putting on a show." Many strong practitioners waiting for the competition to end and see Lin Jing's final outcome snorted, although Lin Jing had shown potential that moved the Heaven-Reaching Tower, they didn't believe the Heaven-Reaching Tower Master would necessarily make this choice.

The critical point was that the strong practitioners from the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Sect seemed to be here. If these two demon sects were determined to have Lin Jing, then the Heaven-Reaching Tower Master had to weigh carefully.

After all, irrespective of anything, Lin Jing was an Ancient Country Cultivator, and the relationship between the Heaven-Reaching Tower and Ancient Country wasn't great.

As for the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Sect, their relationship with the Ancient Country was even worse, and these two demon sects were powerful with Dao-seekers in their midst. The enemy of my enemy, while not a friend, there's no need for enmity.

The Heaven-Reaching Tower and the Yin Corpse Sect, Gu God Sect, had no deep grudges.

So, most believed that the Heaven-Reaching Tower Master had only a minimal chance of protecting Lin Jing.

A greater possibility was that they wanted the Dragon Carp, regardless of Lin Jing's fate.

"I need someone to test the pill now."

Lin Jing spoke up, yet before he could say the requirements, a thunderous sound erupted in the distance, accompanied by a dragon's roar as a divine dragon bathed in lightning flew over swiftly.

It quickly flew to the Alchemy Land and reached Lin Jing.

"Me, me, me."

"Princess Leilong!"

Most of those present were naturally familiar with Princess Leilong, yet they were astonished and, confused as to why the little princess of the Thunder Dragon Race would volunteer to test the pill for Lin Jing.

Wasn't there a rumor that Lin Jing had defeated and repelled Princess Leilong, who came to challenge the Ancient Country's prodigies?

Yet now, this Princess Leilong willingly came to test the pill for Lin Jing!

Was she impressed by the Longevity Body's strength?

"Thunder Dragon, Lightning Spirit Plant, Pill Tribulation—this must indeed be a lightning attribute pill." Some alchemists speculated.

"Fine, you'll do."

Lin Jing tossed the Transformation Pill to her, and Princess Leilong swallowed it as if she had obtained a treasure, completely unfazed that the pill originated from beside the Dragon Carp.

In the next instant.

The dissipated tribulation clouds gathered again.

"Why the hell is it happening again?" Some of the competition participants, who required longer to concoct their pills and didn't dare waste time, were restarting their fires. They didn't expect the Heavenly Tribulation to return, causing them to collapse internally.

However, this time, it wasn't a Pill Tribulation!

A thundering sound resonated as the Transformation Tribulation Lightning struck. Such a level of Transformation Tribulation Lightning was nothing to a prodigy demon beast like Princess Leilong; the crackling electricity made her moan, and as everyone was puzzled by the pill's effect, a scene that made everyone's pupils constrict unfolded.

Under the dazzling brilliance, Princess Leilong's massive form rapidly shrank amidst the lightning, then... a graceful humanoid silhouette gradually took shape!
