Chapter 56 Resisting Dan Lei
Feng Shen was also startled by the sudden change in the sky. He immediately ordered the crowd of onlookers to be dispersed. Looking at the three people still refining pills on the field, he whispered, "Could it be that all three of them are about to complete their pills, which is why this is happening...?"
Thunder rumbled across the sky, but Yu Xian'er looked up without the slightest fear. A female disciple from the Illusionary Sound Sect nearby smiled and said, "You're quite someone, how about we become friends?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's an honor!"
"It's coming!" Ji Xuan shouted, looking up at Lei Yun.
"Let's defend together!" Yu Xian'er controlled the alchemy furnace with one hand, and with a light tap on her storage bag, a talisman flew out, instantly transforming into a huge blue mirror shield.
"Hey, Fu Bao, I can't be stingy either."
Ji Xuan then summoned a defensive magic weapon, which flew into the sky with a whoosh and suddenly grew to form a red flower shield.
In the distance, the Qingyue Sect disciple's expression changed drastically, and he cried out anxiously, "Hey! You two women are abandoning me?"
Ji Xuan glanced at him and said, "What do I care what you're doing? You stinking man, you should just die!"
Xiang Nantian: "..."
At this moment, all he wanted to do was curse. He never expected that a simple alchemy competition would actually put his life in danger.
"Snap—!"
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning struck down from the sky. Xiang Nantian was shocked and summoned his magic weapon to defend himself. However, his spiritual power became unstable and his control over the fire became chaotic. The furnace shook violently and then exploded with a loud bang.
"Damn it!" His face was full of resentment as he glared at Ji Xuan and Yu Xian'er in the distance and roared, "You just wait!" After saying that, he quickly fled the arena.
"It's not our fault that he's so far away." Yu Xian'er said speechlessly. The major sects occupied the central area, while they were assigned to the edge, making it impossible for them to be taken care of.
Why bother with him? He deserves it!
Ji Xuan looked up at the sky and said seriously, "Concentrate, there's one more Dan Lei!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er activated the talisman again, and a powerful bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the entire area with blinding light.
After the thunderclouds disappeared, Yu Xian'er and Ji Xuan were exhausted. They shouted at the same time, "Collect the pills!"
The light emanating from the medicine furnace faded away, and the elixir suddenly condensed, filling the area with the fragrance of medicine.
Then the bell rang to signal the end of the match, and the spectators snapped out of their daze and erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"These two sisters are awesome!"
"That's right! I've watched so many competitions, but I've never seen such an intense alchemy contest!"
"If it were me, I would have abandoned the furnace and run away long ago, hahaha!"
"You coward!"
...
Nan Muyin loosened her clenched fist, stood up and ran towards Yu Xian'er on the stage, "Xian'er, are you alright?"
Yu Xian'er looked exhausted and shook her head, saying, "Brother Yin, I'm fine."
You were amazing today!
Yu Xian'er blushed slightly, tiptoed, and kissed his chin, whispering in his ear, "That night... you can't stop me from coming in..."
Nan Muyin's face was full of doting affection as she chuckled softly, "I couldn't ask for more."
Ji Xuan, standing to the side, covered her eyes and cried out dramatically, "My God, this is going to blind my eyes! It's so painful to look at!"
"It's just an eyesore..." Cen Feng muttered under his breath. Yu Qianling chuckled upon hearing this and slapped him on the head. "Little brat!"
"What are you saying... does that mean you've kissed her too?"
Yu Qianling: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Oh, so you don't have any then." Cen Feng patted Ye Luo, trying to find a like-minded ally. "Then aren't you just a kid like us, junior brother?"
"Uh..." Ye Luo rolled his eyes guiltily. He felt like he was becoming unclean in front of his innocent and naive fifth senior brother...
"Hey, you've gone too far!"
The boisterous sounds from over there were extremely jarring to Zhuo Yunze's ears. He glared at them with a gloomy expression, his teeth grinding together.
Yu Xinyao, standing beside him, had an extremely grim expression and muttered under her breath, "How is this possible... How could she refine a fifth-grade pill?"
Before she was kicked out of the Yu family, she couldn't even refine a second-grade pill.
Seeing them all surging forward, Feng Shen was about to shoo them away when he suddenly noticed Ye Luo, Yu Qianling, and Cen Feng in the crowd. He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's you three!"
"Greetings, Elder Feng!" Ye Luo and the others bowed to him.
"Hmm." Feng Shen's eyes showed relief as he said, "You all go down first and wait patiently for the results."
"yes!"
The crowd escorted Yu Xian'er back to her seat, awaiting the announcement of the final rankings, while Feng Shen quickly left with the pills.
Sure enough, after a short while, the elders examined the quality of the pills and listed the top five.
Feng Shen walked onto the arena stage, cleared his throat, and announced in a strong voice, "Now, the top five rankings of the Alchemy Competition will be announced!"
"Both Peach Blossom Valley and Illusionary Sound Sect produce top-grade fifth-rank pills, so they are tied for first place!"
"The fifth-grade pills refined by Xuanwu Palace are of medium quality, ranking third!"
"The fourth-grade pill refined by the Myriad Swords Sect is of superior quality, ranking fourth!"
"The Tianfeng Sect's fourth-grade pills are of superior quality, but they take longer to refine than those of the Wanjian Sect, so they rank fifth!"
"Hahahaha! We're number one!" Cen Feng jumped up excitedly. He had been holding back for so long and could finally celebrate wildly.
This was met with a chorus of boos from the crowd. Unexpectedly, the most favored sects, Qingyue Sect, Xuanwu Palace, and Tianfeng Sect, did not win the championship. Instead, it was two insignificant small sects that emerged victorious.
"The disciples of the Illusionary Sound Sect and Peach Blossom Valley are quite powerful, why didn't they participate in the Grand Competition before?"
"Who knows! Anyway, seeing those big sects get humiliated makes me feel really good, hahaha!"
...
"waste!"
A loud slap echoed from inside the room. Fu Zhenghan glared at the disciple kneeling on the ground, "The sect has poured so much effort into nurturing you for so many years, and you only managed to come back with fifth place?"
"Sect Leader, please forgive me!"
The disciple knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. He knew that this was the end for him; the sect would no longer provide him with cultivation resources.
"Hmph, you actually lost to Peach Blossom Valley, you deserve to be beaten to death!" Bai Ruoqian vented all her resentment on him as if transferring her hatred.
"You—!" The disciple looked at her in disbelief. Was this still the same Junior Sister Bai who fawned over him every day, asking him to refine medicine?
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Unexpectedly, after losing the competition, she revealed this true color. I can only regret that I misjudged her and let her take so many benefits for nothing.
"Junior Sister Bai, with such a vicious heart, aren't you afraid of retribution?!" The disciple sneered and said, "I may be less skilled, but haven't you ever been defeated by them?"
Bai Ruoqian seemed to be stung by these words. A red light flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand and unleashed a powerful spiritual force. Caught off guard, the disciple was sent flying and crashed into the wall, losing consciousness.
"Junior Sister...?" Yang Shen frowned as he looked at her. Even if there was a dispute between fellow disciples, it shouldn't have come to such a heavy blow, right?
When Bai Ruoqian came to her senses, she realized that everyone was looking at her. She said aggrievedly, "Senior Brother, you don't know this. This person always used sweet words to coax me into dual cultivation. At the time, I was considering the sect's need for personnel, so I endured his harassment..."
"Such a thing?!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan's face filled with rage. He kicked the person on the ground twice, shouting, "You lecherous bastard, you dare to say that!"
Fu Zhenghan, who had been silent all along, put down his teacup and said coldly, "Guards, throw this bastard out and expel him from the sect."
"yes."
A hint of smugness flashed across Bai Ruoqian's face as she knelt beside Fu Zhenghan's legs and said coquettishly, "Thank you, Master, for standing up for your disciple..."
"Why didn't you say something sooner when this happened, you silly girl?"
"I was just worried that it would affect the competition..."
"I'm so sorry to have put you through this."
Fu Zhenghan's face showed affection as he patted her head and turned to look at Su Yuyuan, saying, "The weapon refining competition is about to begin. You must win a good ranking this time."
Su Yuyuan replied confidently, "Yes!"
