C1229 Was That Enough
As soon as he entered the main hall, his eyes swept across the place and his face turned gloomy. There were only nine supreme beings in the hall!
In other words, apart from Wu Jingzhe, Master Daoyuan and Monk Nanfeng, there were only six of the other seven supreme beings in the Confinement Archipelago...
This was obviously not giving him face. If it was any other time, it would be fine. Lin Cheng might not be too calculative with them, but it was different now. His time was very precious. There was only one person who did not come. It was absolutely not allowed for him to not collect all ten parts of the Sun-ascending Pill.
However, he did not immediately act up because this person did not come. It could also be because of other reasons, such as being in seclusion...
At this moment, along with his arrival, the nine Exalts in the hall turned their heads and looked at Lin Cheng.
They had agreed that it would take half a day, but in fact, Lin Cheng was in seclusion this time to refine the strand of Heavenly Phoenix Mother Flame. It had taken Wu Jingzhe, Venerable Daoyuan, and Monk Nanfeng nearly a day's time. Naturally, they wouldn't be anxious. However, the other six experts who were invited were clearly unhappy. Most of them thought that Lin Cheng was doing this on purpose.
Therefore, they had been criticizing ___ since four hours ago. This caused Wu Jingzhe, Venerable Daoyuan, and Monk Nanfeng to feel helpless. Their faces were filled with worry. They were worried that these six supreme beings would leave with a flick of their sleeves, and they had been comforting them.
Now that they saw Lin Cheng finally coming out of seclusion, all three of them had relieved expressions on their faces. They immediately stood up to greet him.
As for the other six supreme beings who had never seen or even known their names before, they turned their heads and exchanged a glance. Then, they snorted coldly and none of them stood up.
As a matter of fact, none of them wanted to come. The reason why they decided to come over after being invited was because the matter that Lin Cheng mentioned in the Transmission Jade Chip was no small matter. They also wanted to come over to understand the details of the matter.
On the other hand, the news of Lin Cheng killing Monk Xiankong with a single punch had spread far and wide. In addition to his notorious reputation, these fellows were somewhat frightened. It could be said that they had only managed to rush here because they were afraid of Lin Cheng's oppressive might.
However, even though they felt some restraining fear in their hearts, there were still six of them after all. These were six powerful supreme beings. Now that they were gathered together, they naturally had the confidence to do so.
Adding the fact that Lin Cheng had agreed to wait for half a day, it had now dragged on for nearly a day before he finally revealed himself. It was as if he was deliberately putting on a show of strength for them, causing them to feel displeased in their hearts. Now, it was naturally impossible for them to welcome him with a smile just like Master Dao Yuan and Monk Nanfeng...
Lin Cheng had seen all of this, but he didn't pay any attention to it. After exchanging a few words with Wu Jingzhe, Master Dao Yuan, and Monk Nanfeng, he immediately sat down on the seat of honor in the main hall.
With a smile on his face, he turned his head and glanced at the six supreme beings who had unhappy expressions on their faces. Then, he said: "Six Fellow Taoist. I have roughly explained the situation in the Transmission Jade Chip earlier..."
"Now, the Extraterritorial Evil Devil Army of Land of Nine-prefecture has arrived, and the Evil Devil Army has far surpassed the Ancient Times. There are thirty-six great devils with the strength of a supreme being in the Cultivation Level alone, and there's even a Cultivation Level that has surpassed the Supreme Ancient Devil realm..."
"If that's the case, the Land of Nine-prefecture will only be the first to suffer because of its poison. Once the Land of Nine-prefecture falls, the Nanyang Sea Area will surely suffer. At that time, I'm afraid the Confinement Archipelago won't be peaceful for long..."
After saying that, Lin Cheng cupped his fists at the six of them. Then, he continued, "The only chance to resolve the chaos of the evil devils this time is the Sun-ascending Pill. Presently, the Dao Element Sect, Nanfeng Sect, and Confinement Pavilion have preserved three portions of the Rising Sun Partial Formula. And... The various medicinal ingredients listed on the incomplete formula have already been handed over to me... "
"There are still seven portions left. My meaning is very clear. I wonder if there are six Fellow Taoists... What do you think?"
This was to get straight to the point. Now that the situation was urgent and time was pressing, Lin Cheng was not in the mood to beat around the bush with these few old fellows. He directly explained everything...
Hearing this, the cold smiles on the faces of the six old men became even more intense. They turned their heads and exchanged a glance with each other before they spoke one after another. Their words were surprisingly unanimous. It seemed that they had already discussed it privately earlier.
"What a joke..."
"Why should we let the few of us hand over the Rising Sun Partial Formula in our hands to you?"
"Even if I give it to you, could it be that this Sun-ascending Pill can be refined?"
"Other than the formula and ingredients for the ___, there are three other requirements to concoct the ___. Not one of them can be missing. First, you must have a supreme Sovereign Artifact Pill Cauldron. Secondly, the Pill Fire needed to be fused with three types of Top-grade Heaven-earth Genuine Fire... "
"Lastly, even an alchemist's Cultivation Level must be at the Peak of Sovereign, because the Sun-ascending Pill is different from the other pill. After refining it, one will not only experience the Pill Tribulation, but also successfully pass the Pill Tribulation. It must also be consumed within two hours... "
"Otherwise, the medicinal effects will slowly fade away. In at most nine days, it will turn into a mortal pill... These three requirements seem simple, but in reality, it is incomparably difficult!"
"These words are true. The refinement of Sun-ascending Pill sounds simple. But in reality, it is incomparably difficult. Just these three essential conditions are difficult to resolve. Even now, we have exhausted the strength of all the sects in Confinement Archipelago. And can't satisfy any of them..."
"If that's the case, with just you alone, what right do you have to say that you can concoct this pill? Since you are unable to refine it, wouldn't it be a joke for us to hand over the incomplete formula that we have in our hands? "
This was clearly the intention of not handing over the incomplete formula in their hands.
However, these six fellows were very smooth. They didn't directly refuse, but took out those three essential conditions as a shield and directly refused.
After all, they were quite afraid of Lin Cheng's Cultivation Level's strength. However, they were unwilling to accept it in their hearts. Moreover, most of them thought that with the six of them joining hands, Lin Cheng couldn't help but consider it carefully.
To put it bluntly, they were testing him...
Lin Cheng was well aware of all of this. At this moment, as the six old men spoke, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Rumble..."
"Swish, swish, swish..."
In the next moment, Lin Cheng suddenly waved his hand. In an instant, thunderous sounds were heard, and incomparably sharp sounds of air being torn could be heard.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand feet tall Great Tripod appeared in the center of the hall. It was emitting a powerful aura of Sovereign Artifact. It was Emperor Yu's tenth cauldron, which had been repaired perfectly.
In addition to the tenth cauldron, three beams of light shot out and hovered above the tenth cauldron. They were the Blue Fire, the Purple Genuine Fire, and the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire.
"With this Supreme Cauldron and the three types of Top-grade Heaven-earth Genuine Fire... Is that enough?"
