Cultivator With Modern AI

'Including Xia Tian into this competition is really a mistake; in this way, many young blacksmiths are discouraged because the difference in their abilities with Xia Tian is too great.' Qin Qing inwardly sighed.

"Hey, Leader Qin, where did your sect find such a talented young man?" An old man asked her.

Qin Qing shook her head and spoke softly. "Elder Liao, it was he who came to my sect, and indeed his forging skills are truly outstanding. I myself must admit his superiority over me, but I cannot forbid him from participating in the competition this time, as he meets all the requirements as an entrant."

"Yes, indeed, we can't forbid him from participating in this competition. In terms of age and other things, he hasn't broken any rules, but his presence in the competition this time has made other talented young blacksmiths feel hopeless." Elder Liao said with a sigh.

But suddenly, Xia Tian's voice came to their minds. "If my presence makes them feel hopeless, then none of them are worthy of becoming blacksmiths. To become a qualified blacksmith, one must have a high mentality and high creativity. If they don't have those two things, then they might as well stop pursuing their dream of becoming a blacksmith!"

They were dumbfounded by Xia Tian's words, then Qin Qing sighed and said. "His words are similar to what my Master taught me: a blacksmith would only be able to produce mediocre weapons and armor without great fortitude and great creativity."

Elder Liao couldn't help but laugh wryly at their words, and they immediately moved on to the second match.

Alchemy Competition Area

"For the second match, you will take a lottery to determine which Rank 3 pill you will concoct, and you don't have to worry because all the herbs are available according to the recipe inside. In addition, you will also concoct them using the furnace that you choose randomly."

An elder from the Alchemist Guild came forward carrying a box, and then he started calling out the names of the remaining participants one by one. The number of participants in this second match was also not excessive, with only fifteen people remaining after being eliminated in the previous first match.

Since Xia Tian won the first match, he got the first turn to take the lottery. Even though he wasn't afraid of random pill recipes, he just didn't want to waste too much time concocting the pills, so he used his eyes ability to find the easiest pill. Moreover, he had seen the condition of the furnaces prepared by the Alchemist Guild, and most of them were in bad shape.

After drawing the pill recipe, he immediately took the lottery for the furnace, and he used his abilities again. That way he got the easiest recipe, and he also the best furnace.

'Damn it! What a damn man! He's got the easiest recipe and also the best furnace!' Meng Hao inwardly chided him in annoyance.

Even Dugu Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Yan Ning and the others also felt the same way.

Xia Tian returned to his place as he smiled meaningfully at them, making them feel even more irritated and unfocused.

After all the participants took all the draws, Meng Hao was the one who was the most unlucky; he got the hardest recipe and the worst furnace. And it was all due to Xia Tian's manipulation, because he felt very irritated with him.

"Since all of you have already obtained the pill recipes and the furnaces, now you should immediately get the herbs you need to concoct the pill." Yan Jin said.

Like the original order, Xia Tian also took the first turn, and it was not difficult for him to get the best quality herbs. Then proceed with the other participants until all of them have their respective herbs.

"Let's start with the second match; you have only two hours to complete the pill."

VIP Room

'That bastard got the upper hand over my granddaughter again, and it looks like she will lose to him again in this second match.' Dugu Zhong inwardly grumbled after he saw Xia Tian's herbs and furnace.

"Hehe, Old Man Dugu! It looks like luck is not on your daughter's side." Fan Youling quipped with a chuckle.

In reality, the two of them had been fighting for a long time. That was because Dugu Zhong had always been picky in how he treated people, and he also did not hesitate to charge them a high fee.

Fan Youling, of the Elf Race, who is also learning in the field of medicine, feels very disgusted with his attitude. Moreover, the Elf Race is also known as a race with a very soft heart.

Dugu Zhong snorted and sneered at her. "Humph! The match has just started; we don't know who will win and who will lose yet!"

"Elder Fan, have you seen Xia Tian concoct pills before?" One of the elders who was there asked.

Fan Youling chuckled and glanced at Meng Yao, who had been silent for a long time. "If it's about that, you guys should ask Elder Meng, especially since she has already experienced the effects of the pill from Xia Tian's master."

Meng Yao stiffened upon hearing the taunt, and she glared at Fan Youling. "You two are fighting alone; there's no need to drag me into your fight."

"Come on, Elder Meng! Tell us about Xia Tian's master's abilities."

"Yes Elder Meng, hurry up and tell us."

"Elder Meng's body has shrunk like that because of the effects of the pills Xia Tian's master gave her, and until now she still couldn't concoct the antidote to revert her body." Feng Xian'er was the one who spoke. "So what do you think of her abilities?"

"Feng Xian'er!" Meng Yao shouted in rage at her, and she truly felt that she had been humiliated by her.

"Is that true, Elder Meng?"

"Elder Meng, you are the best alchemist on this continent; how come you haven't managed to find an antidote."

Hearing their words, Meng Yao's face turned black and red with anger, and she shouted at them. "If I manage to create a pill that is the same as hers, I will force you guys to swallow it later!"

Those people immediately fell silent after hearing her threat; they naturally didn't want their bodies to shrink like Meng Yao's.

Two hours later

As people had expected before, Xia Tian finally came out as the winner in the second match, followed by Dugu Yan as the second, and Yan Ning as the third.

As for Meng Hao, he failed to concoct the pill because his alchemy furnace exploded and shattered into pieces.

After the second match was over, Yan Jin asked the participants to rest for three hours before they started the third match.

Even though Xia Tian was superior in the previous two matches, the final result was still to be seen after the third match, and the points for the third match would determine the final result.

Xia Tian's Room

"The quality of alchemists in this world is really disappointing." Xia Tian spoke to Feng Xian'er as he shook his head in disappointment.

Feng Xian chuckled at that. "Of course! It's disappointing for you, who used to be a Saint Rank, and this competition becomes a child's play for you."

"To be honest, it wasn't that easy for me to become a saint alchemist, and Xiao'er is a strict master and also easily irritated. Back then, when I first concocted pills and failed repeatedly, she made me eat those failure pills, and they made me sick for a few days. "Xia Tian explained with a bitter laugh and started to tell her from the beginning of his meeting with Qiao Xiao until now.

Remembering the first time he practiced alchemy made him bitter; he wasn't even as strong as Qiao Xiao at the time, and he couldn't refute her. It was only after he accidentally found a treasure that ended up causing his cultivation to skyrocket, he was able to excel and become stronger than him.

From then on, their relationship began to change: first they were apprentice and master, then they became comrades and friends. But that night's events changed many things between them because they had sex until they were both exhausted.

When he woke up the next day, he immediately left Qiao Xiao's realm, and he wandered through the various realms until he finally met Liu Lifen.

"I didn't expect you to have such a story with Sister Xiao. From master and disciple, then to partner and best friend, and now to lover." Feng Xian'er said with a chuckle. "But I didn't think that you ever acted like such a coward; you ran away to avoid her for hundreds of years when it was clear that you had taken her virginity."

"At that time, I didn't want to be involved in a romantic relationship, and that made me a coward. Until I finally met Lifen, she was the one who made me understand what it's like to fall in love and get married." Xia Tian answered with a soft sigh.

Feng Xian'er shook her head at that. "But now that you actually have a lot of women by your side, this is something that I don't think makes sense. You, who were initially afraid of falling in love, are now a charmer. And I think your harem will also continue to grow in the future."
