Chapter 1156: Wounded (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Bodyguard Gu, it looks like your Master is losing."
Ye Nuo blinked as his gaze shifted from Gu Ruoyun to the two competing old men in the plaza.
Based on their auras, Great Master Wu Yin's power was a level above Bai Zhongtian's. Based on the current situation, Bai Zhongtian was also one step away from failure.
Gu Ruoyun did not say much. She could not understand why her Master had challenged someone else to refine pills. After all, this old man had only just started to refine pills and could not possibly be compared to an experienced pill master.
Bai Zhongtian finally lost the battle. Sweat rolled down his forehead and he nearly collapsed.
"You've lost!" Great Master Wu Yin eyed Bai Zhongtian as he said calmly, "Based on our agreement, if you lose, you must become my servant! From now on, you will only listen to my commands!"
Bai Zhongtian's expression changed but he did not say anything. However, his elderly face was now an extremely ugly shade.
Just then, a cold and clear voice chimed in from behind him, "My Master had given way to you, that's why he lost. This doesn't count. How about I challenge you in his place?"
Bai Zhongtian's body shook when he heard that familiar voice. He turned around in disbelief before his gaze landed on Gu Ruoyun's lucid and elegant features.
His expression changed a little bit but in the end, all he could say was, "What are you doing here, girl?"
Besides, she has even witnessed him at his most humiliating front...
Bai Zhongtian could not help but laugh bitterly at the thought and then sighed exasperatedly.
"Who are you?" Great Master Wu Yin's gaze landed upon Gu Ruoyun as he asked.
"I am Bai Zhongtian's disciple," smiled Gu Ruoyun as she replied in a calm and breezy voice, "There was actually no need for my Master to challenge you, I'm good enough."
Wah!
The crowd plunged into a sensation. Everyone burst into a discussion as their voices filled with shock. Some even held hints of disdain.
"The Master lost so the disciple has to step forward. Tsk, tsk. Could it be that they really think they could defeat Great Master Wun Yin?"
"That's right, even the Master himself could not win, what more the disciple. Even if they were to compete several more rounds, they would still certainly lose!"
"This girl may be young but she is rather bold, she has the courage to challenge Great Master Wu Yin. I reckon that her conclusion won't be very much different from this old man."
Gu Ruoyun ignored the disdainful voices and her gaze landed on Bai Zhongtian's face. "Master, I won't let you become someone's servant. However, can you tell me what happened? Why had you challenged this man?"
Bai Zhongtian laughed bitterly. "I was acquainted with Great Master Wu Yin in my youth. However, he was more outstanding and talented than I. Therefore, he had arrived in the First City ten years before me. I never thought that he would have already become a pill master! Once, we had been rivals and he had always underestimated me. Today, I couldn't stand it anymore so I decided to have a competition with him. In the end, I had lost..."
"Don't worry. Master, since you've lost, let me retrieve the venue for you." Gu Ruoyun stepped forward and patted Bai Zhongtian's shoulders. She then lifted her head to face Great Master Wu Yin who was in front of her and said, "I wonder if you have any objection to me standing in as a replacement in my Master's competition?"
Great Master Wu Yin scoffed coldly before he replied icily, "He was no match for me so there's no use in having you step forward. However, if you insist, how can I deny you? The criteria of the challenge is that both of us will produce a pill formula each. If I can refine a pill based on the contents of the pill formula and he was unable to refine one at all, I win. If the opposite happens, he wins! If both of us manage to refine the pill, it's a tie!"

Chapter 1157: Wounded (5)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Pill formulas were extremely important to a pill master. Whenever a pill master obtains a new pill formula, they would need to study it for a while before they could refine a pill.
Hence, this was how pill refinement competitions were conducted in the First City. Each party would bring out their own pill formula and exchange them. The opponent would then have to refine the pill based on the formula that they have obtained! The one who fails to do so will lose! Since this means that others would get to take a look at their own pill formula, not many people would initiate a pill refinement competition!
Bai Zhongtian would never have done this unless he had reached his limit.
"You mean that I'd win if I can refine a pill based on your pill formula?" Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and looked at Great Master Wu Yin as she asked indifferently.
Great Master Wu Yin looked absolutely arrogant as he replied icily, "No! If you manage to refine my pill, you are only considered to be my equal. You can only win if you can produce another pill formula and I was to fail to refine a pill from your formula."
"Alright."
Gu Ruoyun smiled, "What are your stakes?"
"The loser will become the victor's servant and shall listen to their orders for the rest of their life."
"Remember your word." Gu Ruoyun mildly lowered her eyelids as a cold light flashed across her eyes. "If I win, you will become my Master's servant! You shall then serve him for the rest of your life!"
"That's fine by me as long as you can win!"
Great Master Wu Yin laughed disdainfully. He simply did not believe that this little girl could defeat him.
Mainly because this little girl was Bai Zhongtian's disciple. Bai Zhongtian had lost to him so what abilities would his disciple have to ensure success at all?
A disciple who was more capable than their Master? That would be completely impossible!
This was the reason why Great Master Wu Yin has such great confidence in the competition.
"Little girl," said Bai Zhongtian as he wrinkled his brow. His gaze filled with anxiety as he continued, "This fellow is very powerful. I could not understand the pill formula that he had produced so you must be careful. If you really can't do it, forget it."
Gu Ruoyun smiled but said nothing. She then headed towards the center of the plaza and casually picked up the pill formula on the table.
After just one glance, she put the pill formula down.
"I can refine this pill now. However, you'd better not forget your promise."
Gu Ruoyun exhaled and the crowd watched as she picked up the medicinal herbs on the side. She then placed them into the pill cauldron one by one...
Everyone could not stop themselves from laughing disdainfully. This little girl really knows how to talk big, she actually claims that she can refine a pill now! This is just a joke. This was something that her Master could not accomplish, how could she possibly do it?
Under most circumstances, the Master should be more powerful than the disciple. The disciple could not possibly surpass the Master.
Not much time has passed. Just as everyone was waiting for a good show, the woman who was refining the pill stopped working and her calm voice rang out in every ear.
"I'm done."
She's done?
The crowd widened their eyes as they stared at Gu Ruoyun in astonishment.
What did she just say? Has she refined a pill, just like that?
How much time has passed? Even Great Master Wu Yin can't possibly have been able to refine a pill just like that!
Gu Ruoyun's attitude was like a tight slap across their faces, silencing them completely. The entire plaza was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the wind very clearly.
All they could see was the cover of the pill cauldron being lifted up before a few pills flew right out of it, landing in the palm of her hand...
Spinny
Hey guys, slight change in the Limitless Great Master's title. It says 无垠大师 in the raws and 无垠 translates to limitless. So I assumed that it was a title. Just found out that it was his name, Wu Yin. We'll be calling him Great Master Wu Yin from now on and will be editing the name in previous chapters soon. Sorry for the mix up!

The crowd was in shock. One by one, their eyes widened as they were simply unable to believe it. This was something that the Master himself had not been able to accomplish so how could the disciple had been successful instead?
"How can this be?" Great Master Wu Yin's voice trembled. He then staggered towards Gu Ruoyun and accepted the pill that Gu Ruoyun handed to him before exhaling fiercely, "That's right, this is the Clear Sky Pill!"
Great Master Wu Yin may have wanted to strike Bai Zhongtian down but being the arrogant person that he was, he would never behave in an underhanded way. Hence, he had given Gu Ruoyun recognition for refining the correct pill from the pill formula.
"However, even if you've managed to refine the pill correctly, we are only evenly matched. For me to lose, you'll have to produce a pill formula that I cannot refine." Great Master Wu Yin took a deep breath before he raised his head to face Gu Ruoyun.
Gu Ruoyun laughed before she casually pulled out a pill formula from her sleeve and placed it in front of Great Master Wu Yin. "I wonder if you'd be able to refine this?"
This pill formula had not come from the Ancient Divine Pagoda. Instead, it was a formula which she had created on her own not too long ago. This was also the same formula which had produced the pill that the Vermillion Bird had used on Lan Shao as an experiment. After all, the pill formulas from the Ancient Divine Pagoda were far too precious. She would never take them out for someone else no matter what.
"This..."
Great Master Wu Yin accepted the pill formula which Gu Ruoyun handed to him. He was immediately shocked when he looked at the contents of the pill formula. After a while, he returned to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't refine this pill."
At his level, he could determine whether he has the ability to refine the pill from a pill formula in one glance. Of course, if Gu Ruoyun agrees to give him a few more days, he would be able to study it properly. Now that this was a competition, why would the opponent give him the chance for a breather?
"Since you've lost, you'll have to remember your promise."
Gu Ruoyun did not spare Great Master Wu Yin another glance as she turned around and approached Bai Zhongtian. She then calmly exclaimed, "Master, I've helped you attain justice."
Bai Zhongtian sighed. He never expected that he, as the Master, would still need his disciple to avenge him! However, what he felt was mostly pride. As her Master, how could he not feel proud to have such an outstanding disciple?
"Bai Zhongtian, you've accepted a good disciple."
Great Master Wu Yin finally returned to his senses before he sighed and laughed bitterly.
He had been Bai Zhongtian's rival for so many years yet he never thought that the tables would turn and he would lose to Bai Zhongtian's disciple. This defeat was even more uncomfortable than losing to Bai Zhongtian himself.
"Haha," Bai Zhongtian burst into laughter and his smile was filled with pride. "Of course, didn't you see whose precious disciple she is? How could a disciple of mine, Bai Zhongtian, be subpar? Wu Yin, I've finally defeated you this time. Don't you forget our wager."
Great Master Wu Yin laughed icily and replied sourly, "The person who had won against me is your disciple, not you. Why are you being so proud?"
If he had a disciple like this, he would be very proud as well. Yet this idiot, Bai Zhongtian, had ended up catching this good opportunity! If he had known about this, he would never have left the East Peak Mainland. Perhaps he would have found this little girl before Bai Zhongtian.
"She is my disciple. I had nurtured her so her victory is my victory," Bai Zhongtian raised his brow complacently as he exclaimed shamelessly. "What, not satisfied? Get a disciple like this if you have the ability. However, you don't have that chance anymore. Even if you were to find a genius disciple, they would only be an additional genius servant for me! Don't forget, you've lost to me."

Great Master Wu Yin was so angry that his face turned black and he glared angrily at Bai Zhongtian. "I don't believe that you have the ability to nurture such a disciple. Do you think that I'm unaware of your capabilities? Even if this girl had become your disciple from the beginning, she has now far surpassed you."
Bai Zhongtian agrees with the last part of that sentence. Gu Ruoyun's achievements have indeed greatly surpassed him. However, that does not mean that he was willing to admit defeat in front of Great Master Wu Yin.
"Hehe," he sniggered in ridicule. "Regardless of the height of this little girl's achievements, it does not change the fact that she is my disciple. The greater her abilities, the prouder I, her Master, will be. As for you... You can slowly enjoy your jealousy. You will never find another genius like her, not even in a hundred years."
No one else knows better than Bai Zhongtian of Gu Ruoyun's greatness.
That was right, a young Martial Saint was not exactly rare in the First City. However, this was because the First City has abundant spiritual energy as well as countless geniuses and treasures to nurture them into growth. Gu Ruoyun, however, had walked step-by-step out of the West Spirit Mainland, the lowest of the low.
"Hmph."
Great Master Wu Yin scoffed icily, "Had I not arrived in the First City before you simply because my talent is greater than yours? If I had not left the mainland that year, do you think a genius like this would find you?"
"Your talents are indeed greater than mine but unfortunately, your luck is not as good." Bai Zhongtian looked absolutely complacent as he stared disdainfully at Great Master Wu Yin.
Great Master Wu Yin's expression has turned ashen. He was sure that this fellow would anger him to death! He would rather not meet him again as he knew of the lengths of Bai Zhongtian's shamelessness long ago!
"Little girl." Great Master Wu Yin turned to face Gu Ruoyun and said, "I rather admire your talent and I admit my defeat willingly. However, this does not mean that I will serve this old man. His powers are not as strong as mine and there's no doubt about that. Only his luck was better than mine to be able to receive a disciple like you."
Gu Ruoyun smiled and said, "Great Master Wu Yin, you are very mistaken, I think I'm the lucky one. In the past, if it had not been for my Master, I might not have grown to this stage! Even though my powers have grown to this level, it is largely related to my acquaintance with him. However, more importantly, it is also because of his patronage during that year."
She admitted it, Bai Zhongtian's abilities were not on par with Great Master Wu Yin's but she would never allow anyone to underestimate him. Besides, everything she had just said was the truth. In her past life, if it had not been for her Master's nurturing, she would never have reached this level!
Hence, regardless of how great she becomes in the future, she would never forget her Master's labor.
Great Master Wu Yin no longer treated Bai Zhongtian with his initially disdainful scorn. Instead, an envious light now flashed in his eyes. He then lifted his eyes and turned towards the old man's complacent face. In the end, he could only smile bitterly as he said, "Bai Zhongtian, you've won!"
When it comes to power, one brings nothing with them when they were born and one takes nothing with them when they die. So what if he has great power? In the end, he had not found an heir to carry on his legacy nor does he have such a loyal disciple like Gu Ruoyun! Most young people would be filled with hubris after they surpass their Master and would pay no more attention to their Master's teachings.
However, he could see the respect and modesty in this little girl.
In this lifetime, Bai Zhongtian has surpassed him in the aspect where he had managed to find a disciple like her!
Regardless of how envious Great Master Wu Yin was feeling, he understood that certain destinies would never come back once they have passed. What does not belong to him will never be his.
