Chapter 479: The fox assumes the majesty of the tiger
Lu Yang thought about selling out Luo Hongxia. Walking with the eldest senior sister was too much pressure.
The eldest senior sister was tall, stunningly beautiful, and had a cold demeanor. She attracted strong attention from both men and women alike.
As she walked down the street, she turned heads wherever she went.
It was mostly outsiders who dared to look; no one from the Seek Tao Sect would dare to gaze at her.
Lu Yang was about to turn eighteen, standing at 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than the eldest senior sister. Yet, standing next to her, he felt like the shorter one.
"A big eater contest! Entry fee is one thousand spirit stones, ten people per group!"
"A big eater contest?" Lu Yang was a bit surprised. Cultivators could quickly refine the food they ate; how long would this contest go on?
He turned his head and saw a table piled high with Inedia Pills.
Lu Yang: "..."
"Dan pill lottery! One thousand spirit stones or ten contribution points per draw. A premium pill guaranteed every ten draws, and a Dan Cloud Pill every hundred draws!"A senior brother from Pill Cauldron Peak was shouting energetically, catching Lu Yang's attention.
Lu Yang noticed that the eldest senior sister seemed interested, so he suggested, "I want to try a few draws. Would you like to join, eldest senior sister?"
The eldest senior sister looked at Lu Yang coldly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Alright."
The senior brother from Pill Cauldron Peak, seeing that it was the acting sect leader and the eldest senior sister, greeted them warmly, "Eldest senior sister, please have a seat. Acting sect leader, you too."
"We're here for the lottery."
The senior brother looked embarrassed, "Lottery? I'm afraid these pills might not meet your standards..."
"No worries, we're just here for fun."
As the interpreter of the eldest senior sister's expressions, Lu Yang sensed her interest in the activity and naturally couldn't dampen her enthusiasm.
"Let's start with ten draws." Lu Yang paid one hundred contribution points without batting an eye.
The senior brother brought out a large pill furnace, which had an opening at the bottom.
"Tap it ten times, and ten pills will come out."
Lu Yang did as instructed, tapping ten times. Ten pills rolled out, nine of which were rather inferior, with dull colors. Only one was flawless, a so-called premium pill.
"What are these pills?"
Lu Yang recognized common pills but not those from Pill Cauldron Peak.
"These nine are Heaven and Earth Creation Pills, infused with the Dao of Time, born from the creation of heaven and earth. They are full of possibilities. Even with my skills, it's hard to refine another batch. They contain infinite potential."
Lu Yang was slightly surprised and looked at the nine inferior pills with new eyes.
The eldest senior sister glanced at the senior brother from Pill Cauldron Peak and coldly said, "Tell the truth."
The senior brother shivered, not daring to lie in front of her, and confessed, "I was refining pills recently, but I stepped out and forgot the time. When I returned, the pills were ruined."
"I thought since there was a celebration, I might as well use them as lottery prizes."
"Do you know one of the conditions for allowing you to hold this event is not to damage our sect's reputation?"
"Don't worry, eldest senior sister. I'll just say I'm from the Five Elements Sect!" The senior brother patted his chest in assurance.
"Hmm?"
"No, no, I mean I'll pack up and leave right away."
The eldest senior sister raised her hand, stopping the senior brother who was about to pack up, "No rush, I want to try my luck too."
"Here's one hundred contribution points. I'll draw ten times."
The eldest senior sister lightly tapped the pill furnace, her strength reverberating inside, hitting it nine times.
Adding up to exactly ten times.
Ten pills rolled out.
These ten pills were all full and round, with three of them wrapped in Dan Cloud.
Seven premium pills, three Dan Cloud Pills.
According to the odds, it would take three hundred draws to get three Dan Cloud Pills.
"Not bad luck." The eldest senior sister's lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile. She picked up one of the Dan Cloud Pills and kept it, giving the rest to Lu Yang.
She hadn't used any spells; it was purely luck.
Her luck had always been good.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two continued walking, searching for the reason behind the Body Fusion stage disappearances while enjoying various activities. Gradually, Lu Yang became less tense.
A master and disciple pair happened to pass by and saw Lu Yang and Yun Zhi.
"Master, Lu Yang is about my age and cultivation level. How did he become the acting sect leader and get the right to host the ritual?"
A young prodigy was somewhat jealous of Lu Yang. He came from one of the nine top sects, the Qi Control Sect. His master was the sect leader, and he was here for the Seek Tao Sect celebration not just because of his sect but also because he was one of the finalists.
He and Lu Yang had similar statuses, but their positions were worlds apart, making him feel unbalanced and a bit resentful.
"Shut up!" The Qi Control Sect leader scolded his disciple in a low voice.
The young prodigy was startled. His master had always been kind to him; when had he ever been scolded like this?
The Qi Control Sect leader couldn't care about his disciple's reaction. He was breaking out in a cold sweat, staring intently at Lu Yang.
But his focus wasn't on Lu Yang; it was on Yun Zhi beside him.
Though he didn't have the high status of the five major sect leaders, as a leader of an old top-tier sect, he knew some things.
For instance, he had heard that hundreds of years ago, a disciple from the Seek Tao Sect single-handedly defeated the leaders of the four major immortal sects, including the renowned Master Jie Sha.
Master Jie Sha was a formidable figure, even among those in the Tribulation Crossing stage, stronger than the ancestors of his own sect!
Even Master Jie Sha had lost; one could imagine the opponent's strength.
But that was hundreds of years ago. With so much time passed, he couldn't even fathom how powerful that Seek Tao Sect disciple had become.
"This is the true protagonist of the great era..."
With such extraordinary talent, no one could compare.
"Master..."
The young prodigy saw his master's fearful expression and heard his muttering. Following his master's gaze, he saw Lu Yang in the spotlight.
He had never heard his master speak so highly of anyone.
The young prodigy seemed to understand something, looking at Lu Yang with newfound respect.
The eldest senior sister sensed someone looking at her, turned her head, and saw it was the Qi Control Sect leader. She didn't think much of it and looked away.
"What's wrong, eldest senior sister?" Lu Yang asked, seeing her turn her head, thinking she had discovered something.
The eldest senior sister frowned slightly, indeed puzzled by something.
"Strange, why does it feel like there are so many unfamiliar Body Fusion stage cultivators?"
To host this celebration, the Seek Tao Sect had invited many friends, and Body Fusion stage cultivators from all over had come, making it very lively. What puzzled the eldest senior sister was that, along the way, she hadn't encountered many familiar Body Fusion stage cultivators, but had seen many unfamiliar ones.
If a few unfamiliar Body Fusion stage cultivators were mixed in among a group, it would be hard to notice. But if a few appeared suddenly, it would be very obvious.
What do you think?
