Chapter 345 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 46
The first thing Shen Xinran did when she returned to the inn was to open the storage bag and check the contents. Her shock was palpable when her eyes fell upon the dazzling array of spirit stones and immortal herbs in the bag.
"Isn't it said that the first prize is only the Jinyangzhi worth one thousand high-grade spirit stones?" She was full of doubts.
Shen Xinran hurriedly found Qiao Nangen, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "Master, it seems that I have taken too many prizes."
Qiao Nangen smiled and shook his head when he heard this: “Not much, did you know that you have refined a top-grade barrier-breaking pill?”
Shen Xinran frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled: "Are those pills with fine lines on them the best-grade pills?"
Qiao Nangen was stunned for a moment, "You didn't know? Isn't this the first time you've refined a top-grade elixir?"
Shen Xinran nodded and said nonchalantly: "Before entering the inner gate, I refined a pot of elixirs with fine lines."
Qiao Nangen felt regretful, "Then why didn't you say it?"
If he had known that Wu Qingge had such talent, he would have accepted her as his disciple the moment she entered the sect.
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "I always thought its danwen was too ugly. Every time I finished refining it, I rolled it into small balls."
When Qiao Nangen heard that Shen Xinran had destroyed the Danwen like that, his face flushed with anger, "You...you are really wasting a gift from heaven!"
After a burst of excitement, Qiao Nangen sat directly on the chair. He was silent for a long time, as if trying to calm himself down.
Then, he stood up and held out his hand. "Since that's the case, I guess you won't need the Barrier Breaking Pill anymore, so give it to me."
Shen Xinran's eyes widened. "But weren't all the Barrier Breaking Pills handed over to the Medical Alliance? I don't have any."
Qiao Nangen said unhappily, "You have it. It's in a storage bag, in an ebony box."
Shen Xinran opened the storage bag and found an exquisite wooden box. She smiled and said, "Master, there really is one."
Shen Xinran took the pill bottle out of the wooden box and handed it to Qiao Nangen. She knew that Qiao Nangen had a knot in his heart, and the Barrier Breaking Pill was to help cultivators break the knot.
After Qiao Nangen took the pill bottle, he blushed and said, "Show me your iron pot!"
Shen Xinran was a little surprised, but she still took out her iron pot. She only heard Qiao Nangen tell her: "It's okay, you can go out, I'll return this pot to you tomorrow."
As soon as Shen Xinran left, Qiao Nangen walked over to the iron pot and examined it carefully. What kind of magical power did this ordinary iron pot hide that allowed people to refine top-grade elixirs?
Qiao Nangen's mind moved, and he took out the ingredients for the Barrier Breaking Pill he had prepared in advance, deciding to try it himself. He followed Shen Xinran's method, heating the iron pot and adding the ingredients one by one.
The first pot was burnt, but he didn’t get discouraged and kept trying.
The second pot was also mushy.
The third pot, the same thing.
It wasn't until the seventeenth pot that he finally ran out of ingredients.
Qiao Nangen finally gave up. It seems that not everyone can handle the iron pot.
The next morning, after Shen Xinran got up, he found Qiao Nangen and asked softly, "Master, can you return the iron pot to me?"
Qiao Nangen looked a little depressed. He pointed to the corner and said in a hoarse voice, "It's right there, take it yourself!"
Shen Xinran looked in the corner that Qiao Nangen pointed to, and for a moment he didn't recognize that the black iron pot was his own.
This iron pot, which she had hammered out with her own hands, was now completely unrecognizable. She couldn't help but wonder: What had it been through in just one day?
Qiao Nangen looked at Shen Xinran who had been standing there motionless and cursed directly: "You blew up hundreds of my alchemy furnaces and I didn't say anything. I just made your iron pot dirty, so why do you have such an expression?!"
Shen Xinran blinked. Did Qiao Nangen eat explosives today? Why is he so angry?
She wanted to retort, but swallowed the words back. They say women go through menopause, and maybe men do too. She'd better keep her mouth shut to avoid getting herself into trouble. As for this iron pot, it's impossible for it to break. Just scrub it twice and it'll be clean.
…
According to the original plan, Shen Xinran and his group were supposed to leave Yuqing City and return to Tianjian Sect the day after the Medical Competition.
However, due to the accident caused by Zhong Xiaolong, the final of the medical competition had to be extended by an additional round.
Chen Xinran and Tan Jingxue were satisfied with their results in the first round, so they did not sign up for the supplementary round.
But Yuan Feiping was unwilling to give up. He signed up for the final three days later, forcing the group to stay in Yuqing City for a longer time.
On the day of the finals, Shen Xinran stood in the viewing area as a spectator for the first time, watching the competition between other contestants.
The recipe for this final was different from the first one. Shen Xinran judged from the herbs on Yuan Feiping's desk that his alchemy task this time was to refine a bone-growing pill, which could promote bone regeneration and heal fractures.
She was also happy for Yuan Feiping, because Yuan Feiping had just refined this pill last night, which was equivalent to guessing the test questions before the college entrance examination.
Chen Xinran watched intently as Yuan Feiping heated the alchemy furnace, deftly adding the herbs one by one. He sighed, "Brother, you just refined the Bone-Growing Pill last night. This time, it should be a sure thing!"
Tan Jingxue shook her head and said with a smile, "It's hard to say. It depends on whether anyone disturbs him."
Just then, an elder passed by Yuan Feiping. After seeing Yuan Feiping's skillful movements, he nodded to him with satisfaction.
This made Yuan Feiping hold his breath and freeze in place. The flame under the furnace flickered as he became nervous.
Shen Xinran, who witnessed this scene: "..."
Fortunately, the elder soon left, and Yuan Feiping recovered his previous state and began to add herbs to the furnace. An hour later, wisps of white smoke drifted out of the furnace, indicating that the elixir had been refined.
Huang Qianfeng sat firmly in the first place, watching the contestants below. After the competition was over, he began to announce the results of the competition.
Combining the two exams, Shen Xinran still ranked first.
Yuan Feiping jumped from seventh place to fifth place, and from a sixth-grade alchemist to a seventh-grade alchemist, which made a satisfied smile appear on his face.
Just as everyone was about to leave, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds blocked the sunlight, thunder rumbled in the sky, and the air seemed to become heavy, with a suffocating pressure.
Shen Xinran recalled her last experience of being struck by lightning, which took her half a year to recover. She subconsciously looked at Hu Changfeng, her eyes full of questions. "Brother, are you up to something again this time?"
Hu Changfeng simply patted her head gently, revealing a confident smile: "I will soon be going through a thunder tribulation. Don't be afraid, just stand aside and watch. It will be over soon."
Shen Xinran pursed his lips slightly and swore in his heart: Don't worry, even if you are struck to death by lightning this time, I will never take a single step forward.
She looked around and found that everyone else had quickly evacuated to a safe area, leaving only her and Hu Changfeng.
Running so fast! Shen Xinran widened his eyes, quickened his pace, and ran to the periphery, secretly praying in his heart that he would not be implicated.
However, just as she ran to the periphery, there was a loud bang in the sky and a bolt of lightning struck down.
Chen Xinran looked back and saw that the spot where Hu Changfeng was had turned into a deep pit. At the center of the thunderstorm, clouds of disaster continued to gather, forming a huge vortex that seemed to devour everything.
This is only the first thunder tribulation, and its power is so astonishing! What kind of evil and immoral thing did the hero do?
