Chapter 342 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 43

The final competition of the Physician Competition is the same as the primary competition. It is held in the square outside the Physician Union.

Since only alchemists of the fifth rank and above can participate, the square that was bustling yesterday seems much emptier today.

After Shen Xinran arrived at the square, he started queuing up to get a number.

Zhong Xiaolong suddenly walked up behind her, his head held high and chest puffed out, confidently saying, "Gu Tai lost to you, but I will never lose to you. The first place in this competition must be me."

Shen Xinran nodded and said "Oh".

Her nonchalant attitude angered Zhong Xiaolong. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you dare to make a bet with me? Let's see whose pill has the higher quality this time. If you lose, you must return my master's Purple Mansion Immortal Orchid to me."

Shen Xinran shook his head and sighed, "Young man, don't be so competitive. Wasn't that lesson enough when you made a bet with me last time, saying you'd take your head off and kick it around like a ball?"

Zhong Xiaolong's eyes turned red with anger. "Don't worry about it. Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not!"

Shen Xinran nodded, "Okay, then what if I win? Should I still kick your head like a ball?"

Zhong Xiaolong was speechless for a moment, but for the sake of his master's Purple Mansion Immortal Orchid, and also to avoid being looked down upon by his master, he raised the ring in his hand and said seriously, "If you win, this storage ring will be yours."

Shen Xinran pursed his lips, looking disdainful, "Why would I need a second-hand ring?"

Zhong Xiaolong defended himself, "This ring alone is worth four thousand mid-grade spirit stones, not to mention the treasures I've collected over the years."

When Shen Xinran heard that the ring was worth four thousand mid-grade spirit stones, her heart was moved, but she still pretended to be embarrassed, frowning and thinking for a moment before saying: "Well... okay then."

While they were talking, Shen Xinran had already stood at the front of the line. She drew a lot from the lottery tube, which had number 35 written on it, and walked towards the third row without hesitation.

Zhong Xiaolong winked at the blue-robed elder who was in charge of drawing lots. Out of sight of everyone, the blue-robed elder took out a lot from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Xiaolong.

Zhong Xiaolong took it quietly, then walked to the middle of the fourth row, just behind Shen Xin. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Let's see what you can use to compete with him this time!

With Huang Qianfeng's command, the competition began. The elixir Shen Xinran needed to refine this time was the Barrier Breaking Pill. It could help cultivators break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation levels.

After she heated the alchemy furnace, she put in three stalks of Tianling Grass. When the temperature came up, she immediately wrapped the Tianling Grass with water elements.

As expected, Jinwa started yelling again: "Master, Master, you haven't used me for three days..."

Chen Xinran couldn't bear it any longer, and beat Jinwa directly in his sea of ​​consciousness, and threatened him: "Shut up, otherwise you will never be able to absorb gold elements again!"

Jinwa felt extremely wronged, tears welling up in his eyes, but he dared not let them fall. He could only look at Shen Xinran with a pitiful look, hoping for a little sympathy.

But Shen Xinran didn't care about Jinwa because she still had to compete. She added a piece of dragon blood stone to the furnace to remove some impurities from the Tianling grass.

As time passed, a loud bang suddenly came from the front. A contestant's alchemy furnace suddenly exploded. This sudden accident made the atmosphere in the entire arena tense.

Zhong Xiaolong glanced at the place where the alchemy furnace exploded, curled his lips, and continued to refine the elixir, as if he was not surprised by this scene.

The contestant whose alchemy furnace exploded collapsed to the ground, clutching his head, his face filled with sadness and despair. "It's over, it's over! My ten years of hard work have gone to waste."

Tian Yunshen, who was watching the game, shook his head and sighed, "Disciples nowadays are becoming increasingly useless. A small incident can bring them down like this."

After Tian Yunshen finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Nangen and said with a smile, "I remember that there were always sounds of alchemy furnaces exploding from where Senior Brother lived! I hope your disciple won't have his furnace explode this time!"

Qiao Nangen glanced at Tian Yunshen and said nothing.

Huang Qianfeng frowned slightly, his eyes sharp. He turned to Elder Wang, who was in charge of the equipment, and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Elder Wang, it's still early. Replace the furnace for that contestant."

However, just as Elder Wang handed the new furnace to the contestant, another crisp sound broke the silence of the arena.

Another contestant's alchemy furnace also cracked, and he quickly shouted, "Elder, I also need to replace the alchemy furnace."

Huang Qianfeng could only nod, but as the competition progressed, more and more contestants' furnaces exploded.

Huang Qianfeng cast his gaze towards Elder Wang again, his tone tinged with accusation, "Why is the quality of this furnace so poor?"

Elder Wang bowed to Huang Qianfeng and explained, "Some of the contestants drew Barrier Breaking Pills, which contain an ingredient called Dragon Blood Stone. If not handled carefully, it will cause an explosion."

Huang Qianfeng pondered for a moment and finally nodded in understanding.

At this moment, cracks appeared on Yuan Feiping's alchemy furnace. He frowned and thought to himself: He has refined the Barrier Breaking Pill countless times and should never make such a low-level mistake.

But the competition was still going on. He had no time to delve into the reasons. He could only raise his hand and shout, "Elder, I also want to apply to replace the alchemy furnace."

Elder Wang, who was in charge of the equipment, turned around and saw Yuan Feiping. He looked troubled and shook his head. "All the furnaces prepared for this competition have been distributed."

Seeing this, Shen Xinran raised his hand without hesitation, his voice clear and firm: "Then can we use our own alchemy furnace?"

Elder Wang shook his head and said, "No, it's unfair to the other contestants if you use your own furnace."

Yuan Feiping stood there in a daze, feeling a surge of powerlessness in his heart.

Shen Xinran retorted, "You replaced the alchemy furnace for other contestants, but not for us. Isn't that unfair?"

Elder Wang frowned, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, "You are making unreasonable arguments and disrupting the order of the competition."

Huang Qianfeng nodded, "Okay."

Shen Xinran ignored Elder Wang's words, took out the alchemy furnace that Yuan Feiping had lent her last time, and said with a smile: "Brother, there is still one alchemy furnace left, you can use it quickly."

Yuan Feiping asked with concern: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Xinran waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, my alchemy furnace shouldn't explode."

But as soon as she finished speaking, the furnace began to shake. She quickly stepped back, having learned from exploding hundreds of furnaces. Her furnace exploded into pieces right in front of her.

Shen Xinran: “…”

Well, it’s really too early to say that.

Yuan Feiping frowned, "In that case, I'll leave this furnace to you. You have a higher chance of reaching the top three than I do."

Shen Xinran blinked and said playfully, "No need. Did you forget that I still have something for refining pills?"

Yuan Feiping hesitated, "This... isn't good."

Shen Xinran said confidently: "It's okay, trust me."

At most, it would just bring shame to Qiao Nangen and bring him back to his grandmother's house.

"Alright then," Yuan Feiping said, and returned to his seat with the alchemy furnace. The competition was already halfway through, and there was no point in being humble any longer; he had to race against time to refine the next batch of pills.
