Other than them, we have also invited level five Pill King Tian Tan, Pill King Wang Wutan, as well as the 8 star All Formation Sect's sect leader, level nine formation Grand Master Ji Ling, as well as level nine forgery Grand Master Earth Forgery God Lu Wuhu-Qianbei."
The scene fell silent. Each of the eight judges could be said to be a pinnacle cultivator of the South Peace State.
From this, one could see how important this pill king tournament was.
Ye Mo didn't expect that Ji Ling to be a judge. Ye Mo knew he went to see him a few times but didn't expect him to be the sect leader of the All Formation Sect. A sect leader went to find a golden core state cultivator a few times? One could see that this Ji Ling not only loved formations but that he was also easy to talk to. He still had his jade card. He would go visit this Qianbei later.
But Ye Mo didn't feel too comfortable that Mo Youshen's master was a judge too.
Gu Wenqian was scared that Ye Mo wouldn't know the city lord, so he introduced him. "Pill City's City Lord Yue Qichao is a truth realization state primary stage cultivator and a level seven pill king."
No wonder he could become the city lord of a 10 star city!
Thinking of Pill King Chang Shun, Ye Mo asked Gu Wenqian, "Hu Wen, why doesn't that Pill King Chang Shun take part in the tournament. Isn't he a level four pill king too? How did he become a judge?"
Gu Wenqian explained, "He got in third at the last pill king tournament. Pill kings come to this event just for fame. He already got in third once, so he doesn't need to participate anymore."
Ye Mo realized. That Pill King Chang Shun already got a good rank, if he came again and did worse than last time it would be awkward. And Ye Mo was just like him. He came for fame too. If it wasn't for fame, would he come? Of course not.
Shen Guanqing nodded in satisfaction seeing the reactions of the cultivators on the square after he announced the names. "Next I will announce the names of the 561 contestants out of respect."
This was indeed a token of respect to every contestant for a vice city lord to read out all the names.
Each contestant who had his name read out would stand up and greet the cultivators in the square to show his or her presence. The cultivators would use this opportunity to remember these contestants for future connections.
Shen Guanqing glanced at the jade slip and said, "Tian Yan Sect's level seven spirit pill master Yu Shouzhe, Herb Cauldron Sect's level seven spirit pill master…"
"Solo cultivator level seven spirit pill master Luo Xiaomo…" Although Ye Mo didn't want it, but the third name was him, so Ye Mo helplessly stood up and waved to the cultivators on the square.
"Martial Sister Qingxue, it's him, it's him," Huang Qian immediately said to Ning Qingxue with joy.
Ning Qingxue was looking down in contemplation and was startled by Huang Qian. She woke up and looked confusedly at her. "Martial Sister Qianqian, what did you just say? Who?"
Huang Ping said excitedly, "Martial Sister Qingxue, it's that Luo Xiaomo! He's the cultivator I saw that day."
"What, where is he? Where is he?" Ning Qingxue suddenly got up and said excitedly. Pretty much all cultivators were watching the announcement, so they didn't notice what Ning Qingxue did.
The later Shen Guanqing called out a contestant's name, the higher their status.
"Luo Xiaomo? He came to the pill king tournament, and he's a level seven spirit pill master, just then—" Huang Qian said, but Ning Qingxue was already filled with tears. She had seen Ye Mo clearly. He was sitting in the contestant area.
"Martial Sister Qingxue?" Huang Qian pulled Ning Qingxue's hands and called out to her worriedly.
Ning Qingxue murmured, "He's here. I'm going to find him."
Then Ning Qingxue was about to charge out, but she was immediately stopped by another female cultivator from the Ethereal Immortal Pond next to her. She said anxiously to Ning Qingxue, "Martial Sister Qingxue, you can't go out now. If you do, not only will you not see Ye Mo, but you will be kicked out of the tournament. You might even affect his performance. Not long ago, I saw a hollow spirit state cultivator from the Heartless Valley get thrown out by that truth realization state Qianbei."
"Yes, yes, I can't go," Ning Qingxue murmured, but her eyes couldn't leave Ye Mo anymore.
Ye Mo felt someone was watching him and although he really wanted to look around, he stopped himself. Doing that at this moment would displease the judges. Otherwise they wouldn't restrict spirit sense from being able to scan outside the contestant area.
"Hmph, Sister Qingxue, that Luo Xiaomo is really annoying. Since he's already here at Pill City, why didn't he come find you? Even Fang Zhongshi came a few times," Huang Ping said unhappily, seeing Ning Qingxue being so sad.
Ning Qingxue had calmed down by now. "He probably has his circumstances. I'm sure he will come look for me after the tournament. I'm sure."
The female cultivator who stopped Ning Qingxue said, "Martial Sister Qingxue, that Luo Xiaomo is just a level seven spirit pill master. He's the lowest level of the contestants. I'm afraid it might not be easy for him to get a good rank."
Ning Qingxue shook her head and her eyes never left Ye Mo. She said with certainty, "I don't need him to get a good rank, I just want to leave with him."
"But," the female cultivator said with hesitation, "Qingxue, since Luo Xiaomo asked about you, it means he hasn't forgotten about you. Yet he went to the tournament first. Clearly he wants to get a good result from the tournament before he comes for you."
Ning Qingxue was only thinking about Ye Mo ever since she knew he had come to the city and hadn't analyzed a lot of things. Now that her martial sister said this, she understood too.
That martial sister saw this and sighed. "If he can get a very good result and comes for you, then perhaps master will allow you to go with him. But if he can't, then…"
Without the need for her to finish her sentence, everyone knew. How could a level seven spirit pill master get a good result in a pill king tournament?
Ning Qingxue suddenly realized Ye Mo's hardship. Would he be able to see her with his status? He might not even get through the doors of the Ethereal Immortal Pond, much less come for her. Even that day when he asked about her from Martial Sister Huang Qian, he was treated like shit. The only way to get close to her and Sister Luo Ying was for him to become famous in the pill king tournament.
But how could a level seven spirit pill master get any good results? How could he get famous? Thinking about this, Ning Qingxue's nose went sour. She wanted to charge up to Ye Mo and tell him, 'Don't enter the tournament. I will leave with you even if my master wants to kill me!'
"Martial Sister Qingxue, Fang Zhongshi is here. Martial Uncle Yin wants you to go talk to him," another female cultivator came and whispered to Ning Qingxue.
Fang Zhongshi? Ning Qingxue frowned and immediately said, "I don't want to go. I'm going to sit here."
"Qingxue, you're not even going to listen to your master's words?" an emotionless woman's voice sounded.
Ning Qingxue was shaken and quickly got up before walking to the back. Huang Ping and Martial Sister Yan quickly followed, fearing she would do something impulsive.
"Martial Sister Qingxue," Fang Zhongshi quickly got up and greeted Ning Qingxue with charisma.
Ning Qingxue just walked to the middle-aged woman and bowed. "Master, Qingxue came."
"Sit down." She nodded to Ning Qingxue.
