As the power of fortune surged in from all directions, it grew stronger and stronger, and the lotus flowers in front of the pharmacists began to slowly open their petals.
One by one, the petals... just opened slowly.
Filled with the rhythm of life.
Immortal...
It was incomparable to others. Chu Yang's lotus flower was at least several feet in diameter and had not fully bloomed yet. However, the other nine people's lotus flowers were only the size of ordinary lotus flowers.
In comparison, it was like the difference between the moonlight and the sun!
In the next moment.
An unexpected event occurred.
In the astonished gaze of the Grand Protector, the pharmacist from the Ye Family suddenly let out a muffled groan, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and soon his face wrinkled up, his whole body slumping down.
His eyes bulged with rage, and his throat made cracking sounds. In a mere instant, he had already lost his breath!
The lotus flower in front of him also withered as if it were decaying, petals falling down one by one, and as they fell, they transformed into blue smoke. Soon, the entire lotus flower completely wilted, drooping softly, and then the stem also drooped down weakly, turning into a wisp of blue smoke, disappearing without a trace...
"What is going on?" The Grand Protector was utterly shocked, about to step forward to check.
But he found that several other pharmacists from the great clans were also exhibiting the same symptoms: a muffled groan, and then they breathed their last, followed by the disappearance of their lotus flowers.
Out of the ten pharmacists participating in the finals, nine had died… only Chu Yang remained, the sole survivor!
What’s more? Even if he wasn't the champion, he was still a champion.
But, what was going on?
The Grand Protector was dumbfounded, raising his hand to pound his head, rubbing his eyes vigorously: "I must have seen wrong, I… I… I must be going crazy… I’m going to go mad… God… what on earth is happening?!”
The poor old man stared blankly at the nine pharmacists who died tragically, their nine lotus flowers turning into nothingness, his mind blank!
After a long while, he finally regained his senses, taking an arrow step into the air, bringing the few people down, arranging them in a row in front of him, his face pale as he hurriedly checked.
"What went wrong, what went wrong…"
Then he noticed that the skin on several people's faces was already wrinkled, utterly different from the smooth and rosy complexion from before, and when he tried to grab one, he unexpectedly tore it off in one go!
The Grand Protector was shocked again, holding a piece of skin, his heart racing.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that the person whose skin he had grabbed had a bloodied and disfigured face…
The Grand Protector was stunned, hurriedly checking the other few people, and sure enough, everyone looked like this.
He continued to check…
Finally, the Grand Protector raised his head, his face filled with rage and despair as he cursed: "Soul Transfer! My… my nine great clans! I’ll curse your ancestors for eighteen generations! You bunch of bastards! How could you use Soul Transfer to make a mess at the Myriad Medicine Convention! I curse your mother…” An old pharmacist with white hair and a wrinkled face, who didn’t care about his appearance, yelled out loud, cursing at everything that was vile… How hateful this was…
In an instant, the Grand Protector understood completely.
The nine great clans and the two law enforcers: In order to win first place at the Myriad Medicine Convention and obtain that piece of Heavenly Repair Jade, they actually resorted to the li dai tao jiang method, using pharmacists who had originally participated in the Myriad Medicine Convention and gained experience to take their place.
Using Soul Transfer to temporarily obtain the pharmacists' fortune and qualifications.
They entered the finals...
But, this final Myriad Medicine Convention was different from before; it directly extracted fortune, thus, amidst this surge of fortune, the true forms of the nine pharmacists were revealed with the clash of new and old fortunes, while they were positioned on the Heaven-Turning Platform but could not come down… and so they directly died due to the side effects of Soul Transfer being activated ahead of time...
