Chapter 21: She couldn't tell what kind of elixir Nan Si Ning was refining. She was anxious. She was anxious...
Nan Si Ning just smiled and said nothing about such discussions.
Attributing your opponent's success to luck, help from others, good tools, and other factors is a reflection of your unwillingness to accept your own shortcomings and your unwillingness to face failure. To put it bluntly, you are a coward.
Nan Sining seemed to understand a little bit why Chen Tangyuan's attitude changed so much from initially blocking the fight to later adding a prize to support the fight.
After the first round, during the intermission, Nan Sining and Xiao Jingwen both sat down to regulate their breathing and restore their spiritual power.
Chen Tangyuan allowed the two to take the soul-replenishing elixir he had just refined, so that the results of the first round could also affect the second round of competition.
Senior Brother Shen Tangyuan is indeed thoughtful and makes this class more valuable.
About an hour later, the second round began.
Under the witness of Shen Tangyuan, the two of them first wrote down the elixirs they wanted to refine.
Seeing that Xiao Jingwen wrote down the third-grade Qingxin Pill, Shen Tangyuan was not surprised at all.
But when he saw the name of the pill written by Nan Si Ning, Chen Tangyuan was very surprised: "Are you really going to refine this pill? This pill is the most difficult among the pills of the same grade."
Nan Si Ning nodded with certainty, "I have made up my mind, Senior Brother Shen."
Seeing Nan Si Ning's determination, Chen Tangyuan, as a temporary judge and not Nan Si Ning's senior brother, could not persuade him too much, so he could only say, "Then I wish you good luck."
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
What the two people said was like a riddle, which made everyone else very curious about what kind of elixir Nan Si Ning was refining.
Hua Shengqing poked Zhou Lixing and asked, "Third Senior Brother, what kind of elixir do you think Junior Sister can make?"
Zhou Lixing shook his head foolishly. Although he had been alone with his junior sister for more than ten days, his junior sister had tinkered with so many types of pills, some of which he had never even heard of, so he didn't know what kind of pills his junior sister could make.
Hua Shengqing was disappointed and asked Qin Sangyue again. Qin Sangyue said, "I can't guess. After all, I haven't seen Junior Sister making pills with my own eyes."
When Nan Si Ning was refining the Dahuan Pill, she was in a coma.
Hua Shengqing felt like there were ants crawling in her heart. She was not worried about whether her junior sister could win, but she was too curious!
It’s a pity that no one can know the outcome of this fight until it comes out, so we can only wait patiently.
Others were also discussing what kind of elixir Xiao Jingwen would refine. The disciples of Medicine King City could guess a little, but as for Nan Si Ning, they were completely in the dark:
"Fifth Senior Brother will definitely refine a third-grade pill to ensure his victory."
"Tsk... Is it worth taking out a third-grade elixir to deal with Nan Si Ning?"
"Hehe... I can make a top-grade soul-replenishing elixir, can you?"
"This... I can't do this, but Fifth Brother has no problem with it!"
"No need to guess this time, Fifth Senior Brother will definitely win. Nan Si Ning is amazing at refining a first-grade Soul-Boosting Pill, but how long has she only been awake? How could she have the time to learn how to refine more difficult pills? Perhaps this Soul-Boosting Pill was made because Cijian Peak is poor, so they had to refine it themselves, and only after repeated practice did they become good at it."
This speculation makes some sense and has calmed the anxious mood of many people.
Many people also secretly speculated that Nan Si Ning challenged the difficult task in order to defeat his fifth senior brother. His desire to win was too strong, which made him prone to failure.
Soon they prepared the spiritual plants again and heated the furnace. Xiao Jingwen and Nan Sining carried out the preparations in an orderly manner.
As soon as they saw the spiritual plants and alchemy movements prepared by Xiao Jingwen, many people understood: "Fifth Senior Brother is indeed going to refine the third-grade Qingxin Pill."
"Fifth Senior Brother is very good at refining the Qingxin Pill. This time, it's a sure thing."
"Huh? Why can't I tell what kind of elixir Junior Sister Nan is refining?"
"I can't tell."
"This is strange. I've memorized the pharmacopoeia, but I can't remember any elixir that requires these spiritual plants."
"I noticed that the spiritual plants she used were all low-grade. They were definitely not third- or fourth-grade medicinal pills. They couldn't compare to Fifth Senior Brother's in terms of grade."
…
The disciples of Yaowang City were chattering among themselves, and their attention gradually focused on Nan Sining.
Despite being watched by so many people, Nan Si Ning was not panicked at all. He put the spiritual plants into his small broken alchemy furnace little by little at his own pace.
The alchemy furnace was a little shaky, as if it would collapse at any time, which was terrifying to watch.
But everyone present remembered that she had just used this seemingly broken little furnace to refine a batch of top-grade spiritual elixirs!
Luo Qingyao was annoyed by the nagging of the disciples.
These disciples are so useless that they can’t even tell what kind of elixir Nan Si Ning is refining!
Luo Qingyao also turned her gaze to Nan Si Ning, and the more she looked, the more angry she felt.
Unlike the first round, this time Nan Si Ning seemed particularly calm and steady, as if everything was under her control. This situation made Luo Qingyao couldn't help but have a thought in her mind: Nan Si Ning is not really going to beat Xiao Jingwen, right?
When this idea came up, Luo Qingyao's first reaction was also absurd. As a newcomer to alchemy, how could Nan Sining possibly defeat the second-level alchemist Xiao Jingwen!
However, after this thought came out, it lingered in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it or suppress it.
Others may not know, but she knows very well that Nan Si Ning is the protagonist, the son of destiny of this world, an existence that cannot be killed even if you want to!
As the son of destiny, wouldn't it be easy for Nan Si Ning to defeat a supporting character? In Feng Aotian's world, isn't it normal for the protagonist to surpass his level and defeat others? Even if it seems unreasonable, it will come true!
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyao couldn't help but look at the prize placed next to Shen Tangyuan.
In addition to Xiao Jingwen's three spiritual plants and Yuntian gold furnace, as well as Shen Tangyuan's bottle of fifth-level elixir, there is also her Baohua hairpin.
At a glance, it was clear that Nan Si Ning hadn't offered anything as a prize! All she offered was the right to stay in a few superior guest rooms. This was simply a scam!
At this time, Luo Qingyao finally understood that all this was part of Nan Sining's plan!
If Nan Sining won, all these treasures would be hers. Even if she lost, she would just move to a slightly worse guest room and would not lose anything.
What's more, Nan Si Ning had never learned alchemy, so it was normal for him to lose to Xiao Jingwen, an alchemy practitioner, so Nan Si Ning would not suffer any loss in reputation!
Nan Sining had calculated every aspect, he was indeed extremely cunning and treacherous!
She actually underestimated Nan Sining's ability and courage. He actually dared to make a big profit with a small investment. As the protagonist, he could do whatever he wanted!
Luo Qingyao, who thought she had seen through Nan Si Ning's plan, was filled with anxiety and hatred. She couldn't just watch Nan Si Ning win the fight and take away all the treasures easily!
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyao had an idea and quietly took out a magic weapon from her storage ring.
Luo Qingyao put the magic weapon in her sleeve, concealed it from others, quietly injected spiritual power into it, and activated the magic weapon. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew towards Nan Sining's alchemy furnace.
Luo Qingyao originally thought that this magic weapon was useless. The person who gave it to her thought it looked nice and that Luo Qingyao, as a girl, would like it, so he gave it to her to please her.
I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
Two breaths later, Nan Si Ning felt a gust of bitingly cold wind blowing towards her, which made her feel as if she had returned to a cold night in the south in the deep winter. More importantly, it caused the fire under her alchemy furnace to begin to sway and waver restlessly.
Nan Si Ning's fire is not a strange fire, and it cannot withstand this kind of wind.
As the fire started, the medicinal juice in the furnace suddenly became difficult to control.
Nan Sining concentrated his mind and tried his best to stabilize the medicinal juice in the furnace, but he felt that the flame under his furnace was getting smaller and smaller.
Due to insufficient firepower, the essence of the spiritual plants could not be extracted. Nan Sining increased the intensity of the fire, but with little effect.
Looking at the ground near his alchemy furnace, where a layer of white frost began to condense from the right, Nan Sining gradually came to his senses. It was not that there was a problem with his fire, but that someone had attacked him!
Thinking of this, Nan Si Ning gave up his useless efforts and turned to others for help.
Nan Si Ning shouted, "Brother Shen! Please give me a windproof array plate quickly!"
Chen Tangyuan didn't hesitate, and immediately waved his hand, taking out a formation plate to cover Nan Si Ning and Xiao Jingwen.
After a while, Nan Si Ning's flame became strong again, and the medicine refining in the furnace, which was almost abandoned halfway, slowly returned to normal.
Seeing that everything was back on track, Nan Si Ning felt relieved and quickly concentrated on continuing.
When Luo Qingyao saw Chen Tangyuan generously throw out a fourth-grade formation disk, she knew that her magic weapon was useless and reluctantly put it away. The look she gave Nan Si Ning was even more sinister.
It was only after Nan Si Ning called out to Shen Tangyuan that the others noticed that something seemed to have gone wrong on her side.
Xiao Jingwen looked up in surprise, glanced at Nan Si Ning, and after noticing the white frost on the ground that had not completely disappeared, he guessed something and his face suddenly became ugly.
During a fight, it is a taboo to attack your opponent, and you will be severely punished in Yaowang City.
Just when Xiao Jingwen was worried that he would be blamed, Shen Tangyuan sent him a voice message: "Collect your mind and concentrate on refining your pill."
Hearing Shen Tangyuan's voice, Xiao Jingwen knew that the eldest brother had a plan for this matter, and he should not be blamed. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly refocused his attention on his alchemy furnace.
Chen Tangyuan looked at his junior brother who had finally come back to his senses, and then looked at Nan Sining who was still wholeheartedly refining the elixir, and sighed in his heart. This junior brother was getting beaten into the mud the more he compared himself to others.
Nan Si Ning was the one who was disturbed and attacked. Even in such a situation, she immediately sought help without hesitation, which shows her quick thinking. And after the incident was resolved, she immediately returned to refining the elixir, not rushing to find out who had done it. This shows that she has a clear understanding of priorities and understands that the most important thing at the moment is to refine the elixir well and complete the competition.
Not to mention Nan Sining's ability in alchemy, his character and style of doing things destined him to be no ordinary person.
Chen Tangyuan also admired this little junior sister more and more. No wonder the people of Cijian Peak loved her so much.
Except for those with higher cultivation levels such as Shen Tangyuan and Qin Sangyue, the people present roughly understood what had happened. The others only thought that Nan Sining had suddenly asked for a windproof formation plate. Those with sharper eyes could only see traces of frost on the ground, but no one could guess what had happened specifically, so this small disturbance quickly subsided.
Luo Qingyao hid in the crowd, feeling a little relieved, but more unwilling.
But she could see that the array plate released by Chen Tangyuan was not an ordinary windproof array plate, but a fourth-grade array plate with a maximum defense value. Not to mention the wind, it was a defensive magic weapon that could not be penetrated by any attack or small movement.
Chen Tangyuan is really willing to give up!
Luo Qingyao felt unbalanced and unwilling.
Chen Tangyuan was rude to himself and even to his junior fellow apprentice, but he was so caring and concerned about Nan Si Ning. It was really infuriating!
Why did Nan Si Ning do this? Is it just because she is the protagonist?
Luo Qingyao looked at the expressionless Nan Si Ning and almost gritted her teeth.
The process of alchemy is quite time-consuming, and this is also true for higher-grade elixirs. As the alchemy progressed, Nan Sining and Xiao Jingwen repeated the process of extracting and refining the medicinal juice, which made many people almost yawn - although cultivators do not need to sleep.
The two people's speed is almost the same, and it is difficult to tell who is better. The longer the timeline goes, the more impatient everyone becomes.
As time passed, I finally reached the stage of condensing the pill.
Nan Sining and Xiao Jingwen both made complicated hand seals and struck the alchemy furnace one after another, causing waves of air to surge.
However, with the protection of the formation, it did not affect other people.
But at this time, no one could figure out what kind of elixir Nan Sining was refining.
Just when everyone opened their eyes wide, held their nerves, and waited for the two people to complete this crucial step, suddenly the alchemy furnace in front of Nan Sining began to shake violently!
The alchemists' hearts all jumped in unison, and they cried out in horror, "Oh no! I'm afraid the furnace is going to explode!"
When Qin Sangyue and others heard this, they immediately became anxious and wanted to fly forward to rescue their junior sister.
The last time Nan Sining’s furnace exploded in the secret realm, people are still terrified.
Chen Tangyuan stopped everyone from Cijian Peak and said, "Don't panic. I've used my spiritual sense to investigate, and it doesn't look like the furnace is going to explode. Don't let your concern get you in a mess, or you'll ruin her plans."
