Hao Xinqing frowned and her mood suddenly became bad. At this time, other people were not allowed to enter the competition venue. Even if they had a lot of pills, they could only watch.
It's been more than a year since I last went to the Monster City. How come there's still no news? Hao Xinqing looked at Yan Shuyin unhappily and blurted out, "It's been so long since the Monster City incident. Why don't you give us more information? Aren't you the direct disciple of the Great Elder? Are you still short of elixirs?"
After complaining for such a long time, Hao Xinqing lost her temper and the alchemy furnace almost broke down. She quickly concentrated on controlling it and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
However, these words are actually very touching. Yan Shuyin has been pampered since he was a child and has hardly experienced any setbacks. The fact that the woman he likes has another man is probably his biggest setback.
Now, this is the first setback he has encountered in his life, and he continues to experience setbacks. It is still unknown how many more setbacks there will be in the future.
In fact, Yan Shuyin has lost a lot since he started dating Hao Xinqing.
Because Cai Yuqin couldn't get what she wanted, the Great Elder didn't think of him as close as before, and occasionally there would be more difficult tasks. Yan Shuyin took on all of these by himself and almost never told Hao Xinqing.
Since it was a difficult task and almost impossible to complete with his strength, the Great Elder would look at him with extreme disappointment, and the cultivation resources allocated to him would become less and less.
Fortunately, Hao Xinqing was generous and often gave Yan Shuyin a lot of good things. Generally speaking, they were more and better than what she got from the Great Elder.
Just like that, the two of them were immersed in the beautiful love and didn't notice anything wrong. But now, when Hao Xinqing suddenly said this, Yan Shuyin felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.
After the incident in the Demon City, Hao Xinqing had been in a bad mood. Yan Shuyin had gained a lot of insights from the battlefield, so he went into seclusion as soon as he returned to the Shenxue Sect and did not come out until before the competition in the Medicine King Palace.
Not only has he never met the Great Elder from beginning to end, but now the Great Elder does not give him any resources for cultivation. How could he have such a thing as elixir?
On the contrary, Yan Shuyin would think, it's been more than a year, why didn't Hao Xinqing think of preparing something for him? Which man is she focusing on?
Yan Shuyin didn't know yet that his resentful guess was actually correct. If he hadn't come out of seclusion in time, he might have been forgotten all the way to Java.
Once dissatisfaction arises in the heart, the originally beautiful love will have a flaw. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t discovered it yet. Anyway, it’s not the first time you have heard Hao Xinqing say heartbreaking words. This time the discomfort is particularly obvious.
Yan Shuyin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Hao Xinqing's serious expression, Yan Shuyin shut up rationally. However, the look in his eyes was no longer full of love and tenderness without any impurities. Instead, there was a hint of coldness that he himself didn't even notice, just like his normal feeling towards others.
Hao Xinqing didn't care about that, and didn't think that what she said just now was wrong. The disciple of the great elder couldn't even take out a bottle of elixir to restore spiritual power. Who would believe it if she told others? Hao Xinqing didn't know how tense the relationship between Yan Shuyin and her master was. That was not what she saw.
She didn't have time to think about these things as she was in a huge crisis.
Her spiritual energy was consumed like the tide, and it seemed that the remaining energy was not enough. If she didn't think of a solution, this batch of pills would fail, and she would not have time to refine a second batch.
What's more, she made such a big fuss, but failed here. The popularity and reputation she had accumulated at the beginning of the competition would be completely ruined.
All this effort has been completely in vain.
Hao Xinqing frowned, feeling extremely unwilling. It was too late to regret. The most important thing was the solution.
Seeing the beautiful strange fire jumping under the alchemy furnace, Hao Xinqing suddenly had an idea. It seemed that she still had a trump card. The hidden strange fire must be more powerful than the beautiful pink fire. If it was used to refine the pill, it would greatly shorten the time for the pill to succeed while consuming the same amount of spiritual power.
If you do the math, after shortening the time, the spiritual power will be enough.
However, Hao Xinqing had spent so much effort hiding her trump card, and now it was exposed, which felt too depressing.
He could have hidden it well, but because of himself, he had to expose it.
Feeling unwilling and depressed for a moment, Hao Xinqing's mind raced. After thinking it over, she realized that she didn't seem to have any other choice, unless she would rather fail than expose the strange fire.
It only took a few breaths for Hao Xinqing to change her mind. She finally gritted her teeth and decided to protect her reputation first. If she gave up this rare opportunity, she would become a joke that others would never forget. It would be difficult to find another opportunity to make up for it, and it would be counterproductive.
Therefore, Hao Xinqing used the force to push the alchemy furnace to make it spin faster again. The current situation could not be delayed, otherwise even if she took out her trump card, her spiritual power might not be enough.
Therefore, Hao Xinqing made a decisive decision.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the originally pink and crystal clear strange fire under the alchemy furnace controlled by Hao Xinqing was actually slowly changing.
Under everyone's attention, the pink color turned into blue, and the originally beautiful crystal dots turned into vague jade butterflies flying by.
There were so many eyes at the scene, and they all saw it, but it seemed like a temporary illusion. I wiped my eyes and looked carefully, but it seemed nothing unusual. Wasn't it just a blue flame? Where did the butterfly shadow come from? "Oh my God, I am not seeing things!"
"Yeah, my eyes are blurry too."
"Is everyone's eyes blurry? Why do I seem to see the Azure Dark Butterfly Jade Fire, which ranks 15th on the Strange Fire List?"
“But I saw it too!”
Just as everyone was silent for a while and then started talking, the looming jade butterfly appeared again, passed by in a mysterious arc, and quickly disappeared in the green flames.
