Chapter 92: Overlooking a simple thing
Feng Hao finished the Cauldron Ritual and sat on the bed while the assassin laid down on his lap and slept soundly. He learned her name which was Nian Zhen. Feng Hao grabbed her ring and looked inside it, a big smile blossomed on his face after checking the content of the ring.
"Liu Clan will make things quite interesting in the next month. Well, it's not like i am scared of them when we ware in the city" said Feng Hao.
"The Alchemy competition is just around the corner! I should try and advance my tier to Tier 4"
Thankfully, Feng Hao had many books from the Peak Tier 3 alchemist he soul searched which will help him greatly. He opened the books and started reading them, studying their contents, and trying to make a Tier 4 pills.

One month later
Feng Hao read through all the books and memorized all of it. But, he still didn't advance to Tier 4 Alchemist.
"The competition will begin tomorrow," said Feng Hao as he stood up and left the inn. He went to the Alchemy Heaven Sect and meet Liu Rushi and Liu Bang in his way to the sect. They noticed him and became shocked due to his aura.
"8th stage of Nascent Soul Realm!!" said Liu Rushi. Liu Bang saw Feng Hao smiling at him and his face turned deathly pale. He felt that death is coming at him from that smile.
"Sister, we have to kill that guy!", Liu Rushi heard her brother voice message and give him a deadly look. " It because of you that we have such an enemy to the clan!". Liu Rushi turned and looked at Feng Hao with killing intent.
Feng Hao smiled at her and walked into the 10th arena. He was stopped by a guard who said " Your token". Feng Hao showed him the token and he let him enter the arena. When he entered the arena, he saw around 300 young Alchemist setting on it. Some wore a worried expression while others show unmatched arrogance.
The Alchemy Heaven's competition was established to seek young talented alchemists. Feng Hao looked at the token, he wanted to see the ages of the alchemists and their Tiers that will challenge him. He became speechless as most of their ages were around 100 years and their Tiers were around Tier 3. Feng Hao was the only person who had an age below 50 years.
"Well, it not like i got my knowledge with my own effort," said Feng Hao as he shrugged his shoulders. He closed his eyes and started to think about alchemy and the bottleneck of Tier 4.
Many people entered the arena after Feng Hao and the total number of the participants has reached 500 alchemists.
"The first round will begin now!" a voice like thunder woke every person from their cultivation. They looked at the source of the voice and saw an old man with a black scar on his face. Many exclamations were made as one of the participants said loudly, " Elder Ming!".
Feng Hao was beside the man who blurted Elder Ming. He said to him " Who is he?". The man looked at Feng Hao with amazement. "Are you serious?! You don't know Elder Ming?!", asked the man. Feng Hao nodded which caused the man to shake his head.
"How could you not know Elder Ming?! He is one of the three Tier 7 alchemists in the Alchemy Heaven sect!" said the man.
Feng Hao looked at Elder Ming with fiery eyes. "He must have a soul-nourishing medicine!". He shook his head and thought " I shouldn't act rashly! but, Huang Min soul doesn't have much time left!".
"The competition will have only two rounds, The first round will begin after 3 hours! prepare yourself" said Elder Ming.
Feng Hao and the participants were stunned. How could this competition have only two rounds?! Unless.....all the people face changed as they knew what this means. The first round will be used to clean the weakest of the patch!
Feng Hao took a deep breath and said: " I have to pass the first round!".
"Each person will be provided with an alchemy room which will have a Cauldron, medical herbs, and an alchemy formation that will assist you!".
" You will have one day to make the best pill that you could make!" said Elder Ming.
Many people sighed in relief after hearing Elder Ming words and felt confidence in passing the first round. Feng Hao became silent and clenched his fists tightly.
The three hours passed and it was like an eternity for the participants. When it was the time for the first round, Elder Ming ordered them to follow him to another area. The new area contained a large number of rooms.
"Now, your token will shine with a room number, head to it and start the first round," said Elder Ming.
Feng Hao took his token and saw that number 357 appeared on it, he took a deep breath and went to it. Entering the room, Feng Hao a middle-aged man setting in a crossed legs position with his eyes closed. In front of him, was a purple cauldron with many herbs beside it.
"Begin," said The middle-aged man. Feng Hao nodded and begin sorting the herbs and choosing the ones he needs for the pill in his mind. Suddenly, he stopped as his gaze fell on the Formation Plate inside the cauldron. He was shocked because he sensed that It contained Yin and Yang's symbols were integrated into it. After refining his eyes, Feng Hao's eyes were 30 times stronger than a normal cultivator at the same stage. Also, his Yin and Yang eyes that were sensitive to them which allowed him to see the minuscule Symbols. He was drawn into the formation plate and dropped the herbs in his hands. All of his concentration went to the Formation plate as it showed a new way to integrate the Yin and Yang. Feng Hao entered a trance while looking at the formation plate and forget about the first round. The Middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Feng Hao for a few seconds before closing them again.
Feng Hao studied the formation plate and was intrigued by it.
"There is Yin, but interestingly, Yin can transform into Yang under certain conditions. It can do this because Yang is present in Yin. So there is a balance between the two. When Yin and Yang are balanced, they are equal but still separate. In a relationship of harmony, the two energies blend into one seamless whole, as perfectly embodied by the Yin Yang symbols in the formation. The best example is my Origin Qi!" thought Feng Hao.
Feng Hao possessed the Evil Yin Yang Root, So his talent in the two elements was something that can't be determined by normal means. He could detect the use of the Yin Yang symbols in the formation right away.
"I used my Origin Qi to turn the Yin to the Yang and Yang to Yin before. but, from the symbols and the way they interact with each other in the formation, it shows another way for it! The Origin Qi is the product of Yin and Yang fusion not the reason of their fusion! It can only facilitate their fusion but it doesn't initiate the fusion". Feng Hao didn't know how he overlooked such a simple thing.
Suddenly, a bang shook his body and soul. The Evil Yin-Yang Roots trembled strongly causing Feng Hao to feel that words started to appear in his mind.
"Yin and Yang merge to form creation and merge to form destruction".
Creation.....Destruction...Feng Hao went into a daze after reading the sentence.
Doesn't the Origin Qi means creation?! Then, does this mean that Yin and Yang can form another type of Qi other that Origin Qi?! The Destruction Qi?!
Feng Hao's body jolted as the requirement for Advancing to the Heaven Soul Realm appeared in his mind.
Form the Chaos Qi
