"Junior Sister Xiaoning is going to win."
"Yes, Azure Frost Elixir Workshop is going to be famous this time round."
Among the crowd, the disciples of Azure Frost Elixir Workshop discussed softly in high spirits.
"It's just a Grade 2 elixir. Even if she can win this round, she won't be famous. Azure Frost Elixir Workshop's reputation is built over thousands of years. What has it got to do with her?! "
The person who spoke was a female cultivator in a yellow dress. She had a voluptuous figure and her chin was raised slightly, revealing her slender and fair neck with a proud expression.
It was clear that the yellow-dressed woman had a high status in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop. Upon hearing her words, the cultivators who were discussing Just Now shut up hurriedly with fear in their eyes.
"Senior Sister Yang is right."
An Azure Frost Elixir Workshop disciple replied with a smile.
On the other side, the disciples of True Fire Weapon Workshop were also watching the situation on the empty ground with grim expressions.
"Things aren't looking good. Senior Brother He is going to lose."
"Don't worry, that girl from Azure Frost Sect won't be able to win today. Let's wait for Senior Brother He's signal."
The person who spoke was dressed in light red robes. His lips were curled and his expression was cold. His name was Pang Ming and he was at perfected Foundation Establishment.
Beside him, there was a ferocious-looking spirit lion. It dug its paws into the ground and opened its mouth slightly, revealing its sharp fangs and claws!
On the empty ground, the medicinal fragrance emitted from the Elixir Furnace in front of Su Xiaoning grew thicker and spread through the crowd.
Through the holes of the Elixir Furnace, white smoke wafted out in spirals. The mist changed and Su Xiaoning's figure was faintly discernible, like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world.
A white-haired old man sniffed the medicinal fragrance wafting over. Closing his eyes, he revealed an intoxicated expression and said slowly, "Based on my experience, the Spirit Regeneration Pill of this girl from Azure Frost Sect will definitely be perfect!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
This old man was the most famous Advanced Elixir Refinement Master in Yongxing City. If he dared to make such a claim, the outcome would not be too different.
He Xing could also tell that he would definitely lose if this continued.
He Xing's eyes shone brightly as he condensed his elixir and shot a glance at Pang Ming in the crowd.
Pang Ming understood and patted the head of the spirit lion beside him.
The spirit lion moved and growled deeply. Suddenly, it pounced forward and waved its paw towards the Elixir Furnace in front of Su Xiaoning.
This change was too sudden. Not to mention Su Xiaoning who was focused on refining pills, even the onlookers did not expect it.
After all, this was the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and fighting was strictly forbidden.
Now that the sect competition was approaching, the atmosphere was even more tense. Not far away, one of the three great guards, a Scarlet Vulture guard, was patrolling in midair with a long spear in hand and a cold expression.
Nobody expected that the spirit lion of True Fire Elixir Workshop would jump out at this moment!
Pa!
The spirit lion easily sent Su Xiaoning's Elixir Furnace flying with a single slap.
With a bang, the pill exploded in the alchemy cauldron, and black smoke surged out. It was obvious that the congealing of the pill had failed.
In the process of condensing a pill, the greatest taboo was to be disturbed. Even the slightest fluctuation in one's state of mind could result in failure, not to mention that even the cauldron was sent flying.
"Ah!"
Su Xiaoning exclaimed and a flash of blood appeared on her arm.
It was the spirit lion that sent the Elixir Furnace flying. Su Xiaoning's reaction was slightly slower and her arm was scratched by the spirit lion's claws. Although it was not serious, her clothes were stained red.
The spirit lion knocked over the Elixir Furnace and injured someone before running back under Pang Ming's scolding.
Coughing gently, Pang Ming said with a fake smile, "Fellow Daoist from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop, I'm truly sorry. I didn't discipline it properly and that beast actually ran out and disturbed you. I'll help you teach it a lesson right now!"
With that said, Pang Ming knocked the spirit lion's head with a moderate force.
The spirit lion shook its head, oblivious to it and even rubbed itself against Pang Ming's body.
"Haha!"
A series of laughter broke out from the crowd of True Fire Elixir Workshop.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Pang Ming had intentionally ordered the spirit lion to injure someone and knock over the Elixir Furnace!
Looking at the Elixir Furnace that had fallen to the ground not far away, Su Xiaoning pursed her lips and forgot about the pain in her arm. Her eyes reddened and gradually moistened.
At that moment, the first thing that surged in Su Xiaoning's heart was not anger, but sorrow.
Right from the beginning, she was not distracted at all and was fully focused on refining the Spirit Regeneration Elixir.
She was not wrong.
She was extremely focused.
However, at the end, it was ruined by someone and her efforts were for naught.
She was so close.
Sigh!
Everyone shook their heads and sighed in unison at the sight of a perfect Spirit Regeneration Elixir that was about to be born dying just like that.
Su Zimo's gaze turned cold. Because the spirit lion was not targeting him, his spirit perception did not react.
Furthermore, he had not expected that the cultivators of True Fire Elixir Workshop would dare to allow the spirit lion to injure someone in front of everyone in the capital!
Looking at Xiaoning who was standing on the spot sobbing, Su Zimo's killing intent surged uncontrollably in his heart!
Nien Qi, who was standing beside him, was the first to sense it.
From Su Zimo, she felt a sense of trepidation that she had never felt before.
Nien Qi glanced sideways and could not help but feel her heart skip a beat when she caught sight of Su Zimo's gaze.
Nien Qi had seen that terrifying gaze once before.
That was the same gaze that Su Zimo's eyes revealed when he faced the two Perfected Jin Dan cultivators on that night half a year ago.
It was cold, indifferent and calm like an ocean of nirvana!
After pondering for a moment, Nien Qi retreated from the crowd silently. Looking around, she sped off not far away.
…
Faced with this turn of events, Su Zimo was calm and did not appear right away, merely watching coldly from the sidelines.
He was waiting.
He was waiting for the reactions of the two factions.
At that moment, the ones who should have reacted the most were the Scarlet Vulture guards that were patrolling not far away and Azure Frost Elixir Workshop behind Xiaoning.
However, Su Zimo was disappointed.
He had clearly seen the gazes of the two Scarlet Vulture guards land on this place. However, they paused for a moment before turning their heads away, choosing to ignore it!
"True Fire Elixir Workshop is really too much!"
"That's right. They're clearly letting the lion cause trouble on purpose and yet, they're still pretending to be innocent."
In the crowd, a cultivator frowned and asked, "The Scarlet Vulture guards are not far away and seem to have already witnessed this. Why aren't they rushing over?"
"You don't know about that, right?"
An old man said, "It's said that the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, Perfected Jin Dan who is nicknamed Vulture, stayed in True Fire Sect for a period of time and can be considered as half a disciple of True Fire Sect. These Scarlet Vulture guards are all his subordinates and generally speaking, they'll have to give True Fire Sect some face. "
"Furthermore, this matter can be major or minor. Even if we pursue it, it'll most likely be left unsettled."
"Why do you say that?"
"The spirit lion came out to cause trouble and knocked over the Elixir Furnace. He Xing and the others insisted that they did not discipline it properly and caused the spirit lion to come out and hurt others. What can you do to them?"
