Yu Xiaoyao and Ming Hongyi didn't see Mu Qing and his group outside the arena, so they searched for them one by one from the first VIP box on the viewing platform.
After entering VIP box number six, I casually found a spot and sat down on a futon on the floor.
Xie Aotian met Yu Xiaoyao's gossipy gaze, then casually looked away, not in the mood to pay him any attention.
Yu Xiaoyao, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, asked, "Patriarch Xie, what exactly is your relationship with that goddess Shuang Feiyan from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"
Xie Aotian said lazily, "It's okay."
Seeing that Yu Xiaoyao didn't believe her, and too lazy to look at his meaningful expression, she shifted her gaze back to Xie Lanzhi.
"Indeed, it's still my elder brother who is the most pleasing to the eye," Xie Aotian thought to himself.
The arena for magical combat was divided into six sections. The most popular section was alchemy, followed by weapon crafting, then formations and talismans. There were also two sections for other magical combats, such as divination.
The most dazzling figure in the alchemy competition was Nangong Tianci. His technique was fluid and graceful, and the strange fire he used was the Azure Wood Spirit Flame, which ranked sixth among the Heavenly Fires. Although it was not the most powerful strange fire, it was the most suitable for alchemy.
The rules of the Danbi competition are simple: each participating cultivator refines the pills they are best at, and the top three are judged based on a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as the pill's grade, the quantity of pills produced, the quality of the pills produced, and the time taken to refine the pills.
As expected, the first pill to be produced was by Nangong Tianci of the Dancao Sect. Nangong Tianci refined a Grade 4 Nascent Soul Replenishing Pill, which has a miraculous effect on treating damage to the Nascent Soul. The pill was surrounded by cloud patterns and exuded a fragrant aroma. Three pills were produced, all of which were of the highest quality.
The cultivators in the entire arena were so shocked that they fell silent.
Only then did everyone gain a preliminary understanding of the new generation of alchemy geniuses of the Dancao Sect. Indeed, their talent was outstanding, and given time, they would surely become alchemy grandmasters.
Ishu stared intently at Nangong Tianci, who shone brightly on the dueling platform, his eyes filled with a tenderness he himself had never noticed.
Although Tu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand alchemy, her gaze was fixed on Nangong Tianci and she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Nangong Tianci wore a light green disciple's robe from the Dancao Sect. He was composed and had a faint smile on his fair, doll-like face. A mouse wagged its tail and flew onto his shoulder, making the young man's features even more gentle.
Little Rabbit couldn't help but tug at Mu Qing's sleeve and said firmly, "Brother Mu Qing, I want to become his disciple."
"Follow him to learn alchemy."
"When Xiaoxiao learns alchemy, she will make pills for the sect leader, elders, and Brother Qingzhu."
Mu Qing smiled and patted the little rabbit's head. Looking at the sincerity in the child's eyes, he didn't tell him that the pills he refined might not be useful to the sect leader and elders.
Mu Qing smiled and confirmed, "Xiao Xiao, are you sure you really want to become that brother's disciple?"
He nodded slightly but firmly.
Then, somewhat nervously, she asked, "Brother Mu Qing, what if he doesn't accept Xiao Xiao?"
Mu Qing patted the little head to comfort him, "Don't be afraid. Just do your best. How do you know if he'll accept you if you haven't even tried?"
Xiao Xiao raised her little face and smiled sweetly at Mu Qing, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Mu Qing, Xiao Xiao will work hard."
Mu Qing: "Mm."
The second person to successfully complete the pill was Nangong Lingyu from the Nangong family. He produced five Grade 3 Golden Yang Pills, all of which were of superior quality, drawing admiration from the onlookers.
The head of the Nangong family, sitting in VIP box number one, was beaming with pride, his smile so wide it was almost blinding. Everyone in the box stood up to congratulate him.
