Chapter 60 Nan Si Ning came to rescue Cong Chen and was ambushed
Zhao Shiquan knew very well how much of a sensation the longevity pill had caused. Many old guys showed up just for the longevity pill.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shiquan finally came to his senses and said hurriedly, "It seems that I misunderstood my two junior apprentice nephews. I never expected that Yaowang City would develop such a powerful soul-replenishing elixir."
The Medicine King smiled distantly, his tone very polite. "This is indeed a happy occasion, but because this kind of spiritual nourishing elixir is much more difficult to refine, we in Medicine King City are worried that if we sell it directly, we won't be able to meet everyone's needs. So, we put it on hold and didn't make it public. I didn't expect this to lead to such a misunderstanding."
The King of Medicine was not apologizing, but pointing out Zhao Shiquan's mistakes.
As the leader of a sect, suspecting his disciples because of such a small matter is not only suspicious, but also narrow-minded.
Zhao Shiquan silently clenched his fists and said gently, "My fellow apprentices, since this is just a misunderstanding, you can go back. You have made great progress at Cijian Peak this time, so you must persevere!"
After hearing this, even Wu Che couldn't help but secretly curl his lips. Isn't it a bit late to pretend to be a senior at this time?
Before the three of them could respond, Qin Sangyue, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "Since my junior brothers and sisters are already here, please ask Peak Master Yu and Senior Medicine King to examine their Soul-Replenishing Pills. After all, the pills you just saw came from Medicine King City. This way, we can avoid any gossip and, if suspicions arise in the future, we at Cijian Peak will have the confidence to defend ourselves."
Before Zhao Shiquan could respond, Medicine King chuckled, "Nephew Qin has a point. It's a piece of cake anyway. What do you think, Master Yu?"
Master Yu Feng glanced at Zhao Shiquan and said "OK".
Wu Che and Li Yunqi took out their own pills and checked them. They were indeed similar to the Soul-Replenishing Pills that Qin Xueyang had taken out, but theirs seemed to be more refined.
The King of Medicine and Master Yu Feng were secretly amazed in their hearts, wondering how good was this little girl, Junior-Master Nan/Niece Nan, at refining pills?
After checking the two people's soul-replenishing pills and finding no problems, Yuan Qing'an led his junior brothers and sisters to leave calmly. The atmosphere on the main stage was left with only a slight awkwardness.
However, the main embarrassment was for Zhao Shiquan. The others had already started chatting with the people from Yaowang City, inquiring about the spiritual elixir that could quickly replenish spiritual power.
The hustle and bustle at Yaowang City made Zhao Shiquan's side seem even more deserted.
The following fights were peaceful. Some disciples who had always been favored suffered narrow defeats, while some unknown disciples suddenly stood out with amazing performance.
Two days passed like this, and by the third day, most of the Qi Refining disciples had already gone on the arena to challenge, and many of them had also used up their challenge opportunities. Those who remained were considered the elite Qi Refining disciples who had been preliminarily screened out.
Cong Chen has been defending the ring from yesterday to today, and has defeated fifty or sixty people who came up to challenge him. Gradually, the number of people who dared to challenge him decreased.
Just as Cong Chen was sitting cross-legged on the ring, quietly regulating his breathing and resting, a figure leaped lightly onto the ring.
The sound of the bells coming from her body made Cong Chen frown.
When Cong Chen opened his eyes, he saw Luo Qingyao, dressed in white, standing on the ring and looking at him.
Seeing Cong Chen open his eyes, Luo Qingyao showed a sweet and harmless smile: "Luo Qingyao, a disciple of Yunxiao Peak, wants to fight Cong Chen of Cijian Peak."
When Cong Chen saw her, he couldn't help but feel angry.
He was originally imprisoned in the forbidden area by the Discipline Hall because those people spread rumors made by Luo Qingyao, saying that people from Cijian Peak killed their fellow disciples. After he was released, he also heard a lot about Luo Qingyao attacking her senior brothers, sisters, and junior sisters. Cong Chen hated her for a long time.
Although the senior brothers and sisters had already told us that we must be careful if we meet Luo Qingyao.
But Cong Chen still couldn't resist the urge to kill her, so he drew his sword and rushed forward.
Soon the two men started fighting, making loud "bang bang bang" noises, and even the attention of many people on the main stage was attracted by them.
Many people gathered in front of the arena to watch the two fight.
Although both of them are in the Qi Refining Stage, Luo Qingyao is the sect master's personal disciple and is very favored by the sect master. Many good things are piled on her, and Cong Chen is a natural swordsman, so the battle between the two is quite interesting.
Outsiders watched every move, but as an opponent, Cong Chen was most annoyed by the bells on Luo Qingyao's body, which kept making tinkling sounds.
That sound was like a spell. In the noisy fight, it could accurately penetrate his ears and even his brain, making him unconsciously pay attention to the sound. The blood in his body could not help but be stimulated, becoming boiling hot and difficult to suppress.
Seeing Cong Chen frowning impatiently and his eyes getting redder and redder, Luo Qingyao's mouth curled up into a secret smile.
Although the other people from Cijian Peak escaped, Cong Chen can't escape easily!
Soon, Cong Chen felt a little dizzy and his vision was a little blurry.
He shook his head desperately, but still couldn't drive away the feeling. Instead, he became even more irritable.
"Did you poison me?" Cong Chen asked.
Luo Qingyao said innocently, "Junior Brother Cong, please don't spit bloody words at me. I'm fighting you openly and squarely!"
The silkworms were not successful, but this poison was given to Cong Chen by Han Qingyu when he was in the Discipline Hall. This bell was also specially prepared by Han Qingyu to activate the poison. How could ordinary people easily see it?
"Junior Brother Cong, if you can't beat me, you can just admit defeat and stop making excuses for yourself!" Luo Qingyao still looked like she was thinking about Cong Chen.
Cong Chen was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "You——"
People in the audience who were unaware of the situation also felt that Cong Chen could not afford to lose. After all, he had defeated so many people before, and it was normal for him to be unable to accept the contrast of being beaten by others for a while.
Cong Chen was very depressed. He had exchanged dozens of moves with Luo Qingyao, and he was sure that Luo Qingyao was no match for him at all. He was not that kind at all!
Seeing that Cong Chen's face was distorted with anger, Luo Qingyao laughed even more blatantly. In Cong Chen's opinion, she was just provoking him.
In a fit of rage, Cong Chen's spiritual power circulated wildly, and he launched an even more fierce attack on Luo Qingyao.
In the stands, Sheng Tianyun looked at the situation on the ring and asked worriedly, "Han Qingyu, are you sure that thing of yours really works?"
Han Qingyu sat crookedly in her seat. Without a trace of disdain, she took a sip of the spiritual tea that Luo Qingyao had just drunk. She said with great pride, "That's my masterpiece. If you don't believe me, I can use it on you and let you feel for yourself how useful it is."
Sheng Tianyun frowned and said disdainfully: "Don't come on, I think your things are dirty."
"Haha..." Han Qingyu smiled, but his eyes were devoid of a smile. Instead, they looked malicious and insane. He had never suffered such a huge loss before, so he decided to let Junior Sister Luo have some fun this time, and help him collect some interest from Cijian Peak.
On the ring, the harder Cong Chen and Luo Qingyao fought, the more Han Qingyu laughed, because the poison relied on the circulation of spiritual power to slowly penetrate into the bone marrow, heart meridians, dantian, and even the spiritual roots.
Cong Chen on the stage almost pushed Luo Qingyao off the stage after several outbursts, but Luo Qingyao held on.
Hua Shengqing watched from afar and said anxiously, "Second Brother, Eighth Brother doesn't look right. What should we do?"
Yuan Qing'an's expression also looked somewhat grim. He said, "Eighth Junior Brother probably doesn't want to lose to Luo Qingyao, so he's acting like this."
The evil things Luo Qingyao did to Cijian Peak made everyone in Cijian Peak want to kill her as soon as possible, even the junior sister who knew it was difficult to kill her.
It is not surprising that Eighth Junior Brother behaved like this.
"Didn't I tell him that he was the most important thing, and if he encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat, he should just admit defeat?"
"But when you meet Luo Qingyao, it's hard to resist hitting her, right?" Li Yunqi's voice sounded very calm.
"Is there any way to bring Eighth Junior Brother down? Eighth Junior Brother is already in an unstable state of mind. If this continues, it will probably affect his future cultivation!" Liang Xiao also became anxious.
Yuan Qing'an stood up, his lips were stretched straight, and he looked extremely serious.
"Luo Qingyao might be planning this." Yuan Qingan said.
Hua Shengqing stamped her feet in anger: "Then let's go and rescue Eighth Junior Brother!"
Yuan Qing'an didn't hesitate and walked directly to the front of the arena, saying, "Seventh Junior Sister, follow me."
Hua Shengqing hurriedly chased after him.
The brother and sister pushed through the crowd and struggled to the front of the ring. Hua Shengqing immediately shouted, "Eighth Junior Brother! We don't want to fight anymore! We admit defeat!"
Cong Chen seemed not to hear her words. He stared at Luo Qingyao with bloodshot eyes, like a mad monster, wanting to tear Luo Qingyao apart.
Luo Qingyao was not afraid at all when she saw this. According to Han Qingyu, Cong Chen looked like he was only half a step away from the collapse of his psychic realm and becoming possessed by a demon.
Just as she slowly smiled and was about to give the final push to send Cong Chen into the abyss, suddenly there was a deafening "bang", which frightened everyone.
Not only was everyone startled, but even Cong Chen shuddered, the blood red in his eyes faded a little, revealing a somewhat confused look.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a female cultivator holding a gong in one hand and a mallet in the other. When she struck the gong, it made a deafening "clang" sound that made people's ears feel numb.
Many people used their spiritual power to seal their ears to avoid being tortured by her.
Nan Si Ning knocked hard a few times without hesitation before saying, "Eighth Senior Brother, come down!"
Cong Chen paused, looked at Luo Qingyao in front of him, then looked at his junior sister, and took a step forward.
Luo Qingyao hadn't expected that at this point, she would be disrupted by Nan Si Ning again. In her anxiety, she shouted, "Cong Chen, we haven't finished the competition yet!"
Cong Chen's eyes finally brightened up a little, as if he had regained some of his rationality. He slowly said, "I give up."
Luo Qingyao was immediately furious: "You are such a coward! How could you admit defeat so easily?!"
Nan Si Ning uttered a few mocking "yo yo" sounds and asked, "My Eighth Senior Brother admitted defeat, but I, the little Junior Sister, wasn't anxious. My Second Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Sister weren't anxious either. They didn't feel ashamed. So why are you, an opponent, anxious? Could it be that... you poisoned my Eighth Senior Brother, and it takes time to take effect, so you're deliberately stalling for time?!"
