Divine War Pill Emperor

After the life-and-death agreement was signed.

Elder Qiu looked at Jiang Chen and sneered.

Elder Han, on the other hand, sighed softly. "What a shame. For a genius to fall right before my eyes."

Although Elder Han didn’t side with Zuo Siming—and even harbored some animosity toward him—he didn’t think highly of Jiang Chen’s chances either.

Elder Qiu spoke up, "Alright, since the agreement is signed, you two may begin."

With Elder Qiu’s announcement, the competition between Jiang Chen and Zuo Siming officially began.

Zuo Siming shot Jiang Chen a smug look.

"Jiang Chen, it’s too late for regrets. You’d best accept your fate."

"Alright, let’s begin. After all, you don’t have much longer to live."

With that, Zuo Siming picked up one of the two portions of Iron Ore he had prepared, getting ready to refine a Magical Treasure on the high platform in front of everyone.

He chose Refined Iron Ore. It was obvious that Refined Iron Ore could, at best, only be used to refine Dharma Artifacts—with the highest possible result being a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.

Zuo Siming himself could only refine up to a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.

He believed Jiang Chen would also have to choose Iron Ore to refine a Dharma Artifact.

But Jiang Chen said nonchalantly, "You can start first. It won’t be too late for me to begin after I’ve watched you refine your Magical Treasure."

In truth, Jiang Chen wanted to observe the Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique.

Learning another’s Artifact Refining Technique might be helpful to him.

Even though his Thousand-Hammered Refining Skill was already quite advanced.

Zuo Siming was taken aback for a moment, then, after hearing Jiang Chen’s words, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.

He said contemptuously, "Heh, so that’s your grand plan? You want to steal the Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique?"

"But, it doesn’t matter. Our Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique isn’t so easily learned. Today, I’ll let you witness it for yourself."

"Even if you die, I’ll make sure you die understanding why."

Zuo Siming acted magnanimous at this moment, willing to let Jiang Chen observe his Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique.

He wasn’t worried because it was very difficult for outsiders to learn the Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique. This was because the technique was built from the fundamentals; simply watching the hand movements would never allow one to grasp the essence of the Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique.

Then, Zuo Siming began to refine a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact on the high platform.

From the crowd below, cries of admiration were endless.

"Look, Zuo Siming has practically pushed the Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique to its absolute limit."

"This young man is truly a monstrous genius."

"With Zuo Siming, how could the Zuo Family not rise to greater heights?"

But someone else remarked, "Han Yinghua of the Han Family is no less impressive than Zuo Siming. Both of them are geniuses."

"That’s true, but when it comes to genius, neither Zuo Siming nor Han Yinghua can truly compare to Ao Xue."

"Now that you mention it, I remember. Ao Xue, the head disciple of the Artifact Refiner Guild’s President, is the true prodigy of the Artifact Refining Realm today. At such a young age, she’s already a Two-Star Lower-Grade Refiner. Truly extraordinary."

"A true monster."

At the mention of Ao Xue, countless people’s eyes lit up.

"Yeah, Ao Xue isn’t just the number one beauty in Xingyuan City. She has a formidable background, an utterly terrifying identity."

"Sigh, if only I could get a glimpse of the real Ao Xue."

On the platform, Zuo Siming’s refining of the Magical Treasure had reached a critical point.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, staring at Zuo Siming as he refined the Magical Treasure.

He was somewhat impressed. The Zuo Family truly lived up to its name as an Artifact Refining Family; their Artifact Refining Technique was indeed quite brilliant.

However, after comparing it, Jiang Chen discovered that the Zuo Family’s Artifact Refining Technique was far inferior to his Thousand-Hammered Refining.

He even noticed a few flaws while Zuo Siming was refining.

But he didn’t point them out.

He just watched quietly.

Time passed.

SHWIIING!

Suddenly, the Magical Treasure Zuo Siming was refining shot out an intense red light.

It was a bow. At this moment, the bow was radiating red light in all directions.

That’s right, the Dharma Artifact Zuo Siming had refined had actually been consecrated with light. Consecration meant that the Magical Treasure he’d refined was at least a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact.

Although Han Yinghua was Zuo Siming’s rival, her expression changed slightly at the sight.

’Zuo Siming’s Artifact Refining Technique has improved again.’

She had to admit that Zuo Siming’s Artifact Refining Technique was indeed formidable.

The onlookers gasped continuously.

Even Elder Qiu and Elder Han nodded slightly.

Elder Qiu said in a low voice, "Zuo Siming has this win secured. The Magical Treasure he refined this time has almost reached the absolute peak for a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact."

"He’s just one step away from being able to refine a Treasure Artifact."

"This kid has a limitless future."

Elder Han didn’t say much. He felt a slight aversion to Zuo Siming, so he didn’t praise him, but he couldn’t deny Zuo Siming’s performance.

The Zuo Family members let out deafening cheers.

"Young Master will win!"

"Young Master will win!"

Zuo Tu, standing in the crowd, trembled with excitement. Soon, they would witness the Zuo Family’s genius, Zuo Siming, defeat Jiang Chen, after which Jiang Chen would take his own life on the spot.

’Jiang Chen, you’re dead meat.’

’How dare you compete with my big brother? Ten lives wouldn’t be enough for you to throw away.’

Zuo Tu stared at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with venom.

But on the platform, Jiang Chen remained completely unmoved.

After watching Zuo Siming refine the Magical Treasure for a while, Jiang Chen lost interest and stopped watching, turning to his own thoughts instead.

WHOOSH!

Finally, Zuo Siming finished refining the Magical Treasure.

He held the knife-shaped Magical Treasure he had refined, a smug look on his face.

He strode over to Elder Qiu and Elder Han.

He said respectfully, "Elder Qiu, Elder Han, please appraise my Magical Treasure."

At the same time, he glanced at Jiang Chen with contempt in his eyes.

Elder Qiu was the first to take Zuo Siming’s Dharma Artifact, channeling his Cultivation Power into it.

WHOOM!

An even more brilliant light erupted from the Dharma Artifact.

At the same time, this Magical Treasure emitted the aura of a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.

It was, without a doubt, an extremely high-quality Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.

Seeing this, the crowd was already crying out in amazement.

Elder Qiu nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Zuo Siming, you are truly worthy of being called the genius of the Zuo Family."

"This Magical Treasure is a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact. Congratulations."

He then passed Zuo Siming’s Dharma Artifact to Elder Han.

"Elder Han, for the sake of fairness, you should verify it as well."

Elder Han didn’t stand on ceremony. After taking it, he also channeled his Cultivation Power into the Magical Treasure.

Just as with Elder Qiu, after Elder Han infused his Cultivation Power, the knife’s red light flared brilliantly, displaying the aura of a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.

Elder Han also spoke, "A Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact. That is correct."

BOOM!

The crowd below erupted completely.

"Zuo Siming!"

"Zuo Siming will win!"

The crowd’s cheers were utterly frenzied.

This made Zuo Siming look at Jiang Chen with even more pride.

Elder Qiu said coldly, "Kid, it’s your turn."

"The Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact Zuo Siming refined has reached its peak. It will be very, very difficult for you to surpass him."

"If you can’t do it, you can concede."
