Heavenly Dao Child

'Take a deep breath and calm down, and then let your KI synchronous with the pills, then get ready for it.'

The first lightning fell as Ryuu's brow twitched, 'It was barely a spark, don't tell me I am going to face the one exponential one again!'

'What is it with my luck to face tribulations in such a manner, why have I done to always have this kind of tribulations?'

The reason for Ryuu's frustration was the type of tribulation that he has to face every time he had managed to trigger a pill tribulation, amongst the different types of tribulations he had the luck to trigger the rarest one almost always, and normally people would be jealous of his luck to get the rarest one type with the least chances of occurring until the fact that was shoved on their face was that it was also the most dangerous one.

'Each of my pills will have to suffer minor tribulations, as long as they pass I will win but I will have to push them through.'

Frost Flames looked at the tribulation with her eyes narrowed as she spoke, "Is it me, or that lighting looked kind of weak, like extremely weak."

Zywia nodded at that as she spoke, "Yes let us wait and see about the rest."

Then another came which was almost as weak as the one and the others appeared each as weak as the one before.

True-Spear's face paled as he whispered lowly, "No no what kind of worst like does he have to trigger that tribulation."

Each thunderstruck was like a nail on their hearts it was as their heartbeat had stopped when all of a sudden a loud whistling sound followed as a projectile went towards Ryuu before it impacted and exploded loudly after hitting an invisible barrier which suddenly became visible for a moment with ripples appearing all over it.

Frost Flames jumped up from her seat as she shouted out in an uncontrollable rage, "WHO DARES?"

She was not the only one who reacted as such as every Manushya realm cultivator turned hostile towards the Deva realm, the anti-eavesdropping array was promptly taken down as Frost Flames shouted out, "Which dishonourable dog had the audacity to cheat, you worthless sc.u.m if you do not have talent then get lost bastards."

"You right absolutely sister, and since the waste of spaces have tried to sabotage ours let us see how your cultivators take us sabotaging them."

Only for that Severing Saber to thunder out aloud, "No one is sabotaging nobody, sorry I missed that but if anyone of you wants to sabotage an alchemist you have to go over my cold dead body."

His words had an immediate effect as everyone suddenly became silent, but he did not stop there as he continued to speak, "They may be honorless bastards but you do not turn to bark at a dog that barks at you now do you."

His words followed by a loud sound of thunder, louder than any cannon drawing everyone's attention towards Ryuu who simply smiled back with his head being supported by his hand which he had placed over the lid of the cauldron.

"Aww, was that pathetic attempt failed, and here I was so full of confidence that there would have been dozens of attack by now to sabotage me with the unrequited dream of making me lose, shame I overestimated you, and your rather pathetic and disappointing attempt failed so spectacularly."

The person who had attacked him suddenly shrunk back finding himself under Ryuu's crosshair, as well as others.

"Daoist Ryuu did you finish concocting your pills."

Ryuu nodded in confirmation as he replied back, "Of course Senior brother Severing Saber, I have finished concocting the three pills."

Severing Saber nodded as he asked again, "Do you wish for closure?"

Ryuu looked towards other cultivators for a moment as he frowned, 'They have yet to ask for 'Sunny Dandelion seeds' so either they have the rare ingredient and are working with it or they failed to detect it and are trying to make it work.'

"No Senior Brother let them work, I am curious about their results."

As Severing Saber nodded in acceptance Ryuu spoke with an innocent smile on his face, "Since it was a rather enlightening experience I seemed to have managed to gain some enlightenment please wake me up when the challenge is over."

Severing Saber did not say anything except a small nod as Ryuu closed his over and soon he fell asleep.

Su-Min stifled a laugh as she spoke, "Just look at him he looks so cute while sleeping."

Both Frozen Ocean and Frost Flames unconsciously gave a small nod at her words, as Su-Min continued, "Meditating ~pfft~ more like sleeping."

It would be a couple of hours later and a few more cauldron explosion when Severing Saber finally spoke out loud, "Well it seems here we have to end the competition, as many innocent cauldrons and ingredients allocated had been mercilessly butchered and murdered, so Young Ryuu wake up!"

Severing Saber's voice was loud enough to jolt Ryuu awake, as he looked around groggily before speaking in a slight incoherent manner, "Wha..What happened? Is breakfast ready?"

Many stifled their laughter as Severing Saber spoke, "Sorry to disturb you rather enlightening nap but no young Ryuu we are still stuck in Eden and please wipe that drool off, we are about to see the end result of the competition."

Ryuu was instantly awake as he wiped off the drool on his cheek before glaring balefully at any who dared to laugh at him, while Chianyu shouted out, "Brother Ryuu, was the nap I mean meditation enlightening and full of food."

His words send another bout of laughter with the group that was present only for Ryu to show shake his fist in mock anger.

"Well enough of that, we will begin with the one who had finished last and then we will work up to the one who had finished his challenge a couple of hour before any of you."

One by one the cultivators presented their concoctions, the Realm Ascension pill was the easiest of the lot with everyone being able to successfully concoct it with one even reaching as far as the seventy-five per cent mark.

Then was the 'Yin Body Replenishing Pill', only five were able to make and even then the highest they reached was, according to Ryuu, a measly fifty-five per cent.

'These alchemists are hopeless, yet their ego is bigger than planets, if only my teacher was present here she would have eaten them alive.'

But the 'Stone Heat' pill was another matter the best attempt was a slag at best till before Ryuu was called to present his concoction.

"At last our own Daoist Brother Ryuu, an enigma from the most favoured realm amongst the audience the Manushya realm, let us see what he had managed to create even after they attempt to sabotage took place."

For a moment Ryuu had a strange feeling of dressing Severing Saber in a pinstriped suit and then making him stand in front of a wheel of luck.

Ryuu gave him a small smile before he opened his cauldron, throughout the competition the audience were subjected to different types of smell some good some bad, but never as enticing as that of Ryuu, even the announcer and the mastermind behind the competition Severing Saber gulped.

"We..I.. ~ahem~ please bring out the set of 'Realm Ascension pill' and place it here."

Ryuu nodded as he placed a group of ten pills in an orderly manner on top of a table, as the pill moved to inspect them.

An array sprung up to prevent them from touching Severing Saber spoke, "Please remember not to touch, they are hard work of each cultivator and as such it is their decision what to do with them."

Sounds of gasps and denial came from all around as they peered to look at the translucent pills looking up towards them trying to entice them.

"So, the verdict."

Severing Saber waiting for a moment before he spoke again, "What is the verdict?"

"Over eighty-nine per cent pure", one of the cultivators stuttered out as more and more pulled over.

Flaring his aura Severing Saber once again shouted out, "If you all have finished looking at it, then can we proceed with the next, we have wasted too much time with the duel as it is."

As the people stepped back Ryuu produced his 'Yin Body Replenishing pill', while removing his previous creation.

A distinct chill appeared on the air, as the table itself seemed to freeze over from the effect of the pill, and once again to the amazement and awe of the crowd it was announced to be over eighty-nine per cent.

Su-Min by then was jumping up and down with excitement as she spoke, "Ryuu won, he won even if does not present the third one he has one the competition fair and square."

Zywia placed her hand over her overexcited friend as she spoke while barely managing to contain her, "Calm down sister, calm down."

If the first one was full of enticement, the second gave them chills the third one gave them a feeling of joy and happiness, a feeling of innocence blossomed in their heart.

The feeling was indescribable and everyone wanted to bask on it for a long time only to be brought back to reality, "I do not wish to be the bad man here but something urgent is about to happen so can we wrap up."
