Chapter 350 - The Daily Refining on Scarlet Tide Continent

Chapter 350: The Daily Refining on Scarlet Tide Continent
While Chen Lingyu looked after Chen Ming, she said,
Master, you have to bleed each day, even more than me and head senior sister, who only bleed once a month. Master, is it that you’re a woman and your bleeding compared to us is different?

Chen Ming’s face went darker than charcoal,
Just where’s the comparison?


Master, each time you cough blood it’s right on schedule.

Chen Ming: …
I say, why the hell am I, Immortal Master Chen, talking about this with my disciple?
This has to stop, or my body can’t take it.


Chen Ming strolled through the Yellow Sea, getting ready to advance the rest of Dao Palaces to the Dao Seed stage. He put off advancing to Divine Palace stage for now. First comes the great success of Limitless Dao Body then we’ll talk!
If not then, I will make history by being the first man to die from his own sword soul.
The tombstone will go like this: the sword soul was good, but needs to be taken in moderation…
Chen Ming used up his spiritual knowledge before to get all his Dao Seeds to Divine Palace, thought their number was little. But now it didn’t matter and was time to increase his power a bit.
Chen Ming spoke in his heart,
Nine Swords, Gale, Pine… Advance these hundred to the Dao Seed stage.

Black clouds were rumbling, seen from even outside the Yellow Sea.
Wind fiend laid down on the sand not at all intrigued, tree li away though,
Oh my! Mountain Lord, you’re passing tribulations again?


What? Something wrong?


Not at all, just bored of seeing it really.

Chen Ming: …


Chen Ming said after he recovered,
Won’t the tribulation include you too?

Wind fiend waved,
Nah, I am heaven and earth, a part of it. How can it affect me if I’m a part of this world?

Chen Ming nodded, Right, wind fiend can make himself part of the Yellow Sea.
Outside the Yellow Sea, a team of alchemists was about to enter the Alchemy House to resume work when they noticed the clouds,
Eh? Who’s the one entering the Transcending realm?


Who knows? There’s been more of the same for a while now.


This is like Mountain Lord of that time!


Yeah, Mountain Lord’s tribulation is different, with stars shining everywhere for tens of li.


Did Mountain Lord came back?


It won’t matter much. After a short time, Fourth Sect Leader will still be in charge! Some say Mountain Lord has been warring with tens of stars, that he fell immortals like flies!


That’s clearly inflated!




What did you expect? Mountain Lord’s power is incomprehensible!

The men were chatting while setting out to work inside the Alchemy House. That was all they’ve been doing each and every day.
Seven days later.
Chen Ming’s display stirred a bit of interest at first, but now, ha-ha.

Wow! Mountain Lord is passing tribulation again.


I say, Mountain Lord’s tribulation passing seems to have a pattern to it. Maybe he’s trying to chat with the Heavenly Tribulation?


It occurs each day!


Mountain Lord tribulation’s rumbling is louder than a rooster!

Then another three days went like clouds.
Rumbling!



That’s the signal folks. Time to get refining!


Let’s hurry, I still have a wedding to catch after this!


I should be advancing to the 8th stage of the Dao Initiation realm after today’s work and will need to submit an application for passing the tribulation. I’ll need to get used to my new spiritual weapon and I still need to get my tribulation allowance from Yan Mountain Bank.


Did you hear? Fifth Sect Leader increased the allowance for Dao Comprehending realm Tribulation. They say a few dozen already lost their lives last month from it. Fourth Sect Leader isn’t too happy.

They all went about their work as they chatted with each other. Before, you wouldn’t even see dozens of tribulations a month, yet now it changed to dozens of death.
Yet in these times, no one cared for anything but making pills. The spiritual herbs seemed to never stop, not while Fifth Sect Leader kept ferrying a constant stream of them.
And what of the spare time when they got off work?
For 7th stage Dao Initiation realm cultivators, they had the option to apply for passing the tribulation and the higher-ups would handle it.

What are you talking about just a few dozen? That’s a serious matter! Before, people died by the score, and without others even knowing about them.


Well of course it’s serious. You may not know but I heard Fourth Sect Leader scolded sir Zhong Tongzi until he cried!




What? Crying from getting scolded?


That’s not all. She punished him by suspending his pills and spirit stones pay for three months!


But sir Zhong Tongzi is Fourth Sect Leader’s left-hand man. Such a heart wrenching scolding must mean Fourth Sect Leader is truly angry!


Then who is the right-hand man?


Ha-ha, the Autarchs are hard at work on that. From what I gathered, the first to be a Beneath Immortal will have the highest hope.

The people soon heard another piece of news. There was only Yan Mountain as the official sect across the entire Scarlet Tide Continent. Who would their children take as Master now?
It can’t be we have to teach them ourselves, do we?
As if! If no one entered Yan Mountain, then how would one walk the path to immortality?
But there had yet to be any reply from the higher-ups. Yan Mountain was caught on the wrong foot.
More and more people started to think about this problem. With Yan Mountain’s sole rule, financially and military, of Scarlet Tide Continent hanging over them, how would they have a future?
They may have lost their chance, but what about their children?
Yan Mountain had around three thousand disciples and a handful of sect leaders. That was too few!
Even a former ancient immortal sect had tens that of Yan Mountain’s!
More and more people began debating on the streets. It was getting out of hand.
Chen Ming was an immortal and they just heard how he warred on dozens of stars. With increase yearning towards the stars, a new though grew in their minds.
No one liked to had his future taken from him.
If the rulers are human, why aren’t we?
I don’t care if you, Yan Mountain, is the ruler, but take my children!
They didn’t dream about having Chen Ming take them in, that would be going overboard, but weren’t there more than three thousand Yan Mountain disciples?
Each of them was a power in his own right!
Even Zhong Tongzi was respectful towards them, not making a peep.
If their children could pay respects to Yan Mountain disciples, that would be great.
At least, this way they would sneak into this giant called Yan Mountain. With its wealth, heaven only knew how strong it was. From the financial aspect alone, they could see, if not for having power how could it safeguard so many pills?
