Just as the crowd had said, the Scarlet Vulture guards were clearly biased and chose to ignore everything that happened.
A few cultivators from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop were furious and were about to step forward to argue when they were stopped by the sharp gaze of the yellow-dressed woman and retreated helplessly.
Most of the disciples from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop were indignant but they did not dare to say anything because of the yellow-dressed woman's authority.
Instinctively, Su Xiaoning turned back and saw the cold face of the yellow-dressed woman.
The two factions that should have stood out chose to remain silent at that moment.
In the middle of the crowd, Su Xiaoning looked lonely, helpless and lost.
"Done!"
Right then, He Xing who was standing at the side hollered softly.
An elixir with a refreshing medicinal fragrance popped out of the Elixir Furnace and spun in midair.
Everyone focused their gazes – there were three elixir patterns.
A superior-grade Spirit Recovery Elixir.
"Fufu."
He Xing waved his hand gently and pinched the Spirit Recovery Elixir between his fingers. Looking at Su Xiaoning who was not far away, he chuckled and said leisurely, "Junior Sister Su, you've lost."
"Senior Brother He is amazing!"
"I'm guessing that Senior Brother He only used 70% of his skills this time round."
"It's definitely less than 70%, 30% at most!"
The group of cultivators from True Fire Elixir Workshop boasted shamelessly, but the cheers from the surrounding crowd were sparse and sparse.
No one was blind.
Even though superior-grade elixirs were already rare, if not for the unforeseen event Just Now, Su Xiaoning would most likely have condensed a perfect elixir with five elixir patterns.
In the end, it was clear who had won and who had lost.
Now that He Xing had the cheek to say such words, everyone was wary. Even though they would not stand out, they could not help but scold him for being shameless in their hearts.
"Junior Sister Su, since you've lost, hand over the Elixir Furnace according to our initial agreement," He Xing said smugly with a smile.
"I didn't lose."
Su Xiaoning was fearless and did not back down as her voice was firm.
The smile on He Xing's face froze for a moment before returning to normal. He continued smiling. "Junior Sister Su, don't worry. Even though you've lost, I'll still pay double the price for that Elixir Furnace. I won't take advantage of you as long as you hand it over."
"I didn't lose," Su Xiaoning repeated those three words.
Instantly, He Xing's expression darkened.
"Su Xiaoning, don't refuse a toast only to be forced! Because you went back on your word and went back on your word, affecting Azure Frost Alchemy Pavilion's reputation! "
Not only that, He Xing's't's words, he even's words.
Su Xiaoning raised her head with a stubborn expression. She had no intention of yielding.
"Xiaoning."
Right then, the yellow-robed woman from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop stood out and said indifferently, "Hand that Elixir Furnace over to Fellow Daoist He."
Su Xiaoning was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.
A's a stir to Su Xiaoning's.
Su Zimo's gaze was dark as he watched everything quietly.
Su to, Xiaoning to, Xiaoning....?? Xiaoning?
Vulture Su ask ask.
To Su to you to you lose lose lose lose,, Su Disciple to, you, you, you, you, you... '' '' ''s Sect You you you, disciple
"But, I didn't lose at all. If not for him …"
Su Xiaoning was about to defend herself when she was interrupted by the yellow-dressed woman. "I don't want you to listen to excuses. I only want the outcome! The outcome is that you've lost! "
There was a hint of sternness in the yellow-dressed woman's voice and the coldness in her eyes intensified.
Su Xiaoning's body swayed and her face turned incomparably pale.
Just Now, Su Xiaoning did not show any fear despite He Xing's overbearing attitude.
But now, when her fellow sect mates chose to stand against her, Su Xiaoning's final pillar of support crumbled.
The yellow-dressed woman looked at Su Xiaoning coldly and said in a deep voice, "Azure Frost Sect and True Fire Sect have always been on good terms. It's best that we don't affect our relationship because of you. Hand over the Elixir Furnace and apologize to Fellow Daoist He. We'll let this matter rest. "
"Apologize?"
Su Xiaoning smiled bitterly with mockery in her eyes. "May I ask, Senior Sister Yang, what did I do wrong?"
"How dare you disobey my orders?"
The yellow-dressed woman's expression darkened as she said sternly, "Don't think that you can be so brazen just because Yaoxue is backing you! Let me tell you, even if Yaoxue is back, I, Yang Yu, have the final say in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop in the capital of Great Zhou, let alone the fact that Yaoxue isn't back yet! "
While others did not feel anything when they heard that, Su Zimo vaguely caught a few pieces of information.
Firstly, Ji Yaoxue had yet to return to the capital.
That was normal. There was still more than a month to the sect competition and most sects had yet to make a move.
Secondly, this Yang Yu must have a feud with Ji Yaoxue. Furthermore, Yang Yu did not know of Ji Yaoxue's true identity.
If Yang Yu knew of Ji Yaoxue's true identity and still dared to be so arrogant, it could only mean that she was an idiot.
Back when the two of them first met, Ji Yaoxue hid her surname and identity.
That was indeed her style of doing things.
Thirdly, the reason why Yang Yu was against Xiaoning was most likely because of Ji Yaoxue.
In Yang Yu's eyes, the fact that Xiaoning was on good terms with Ji Yaoxue meant that Xiaoning was definitely her enemy. That was the reason why she kept making things difficult for Xiaoning.
Su Xiaoning pursed her red lips tightly and bean-sized tears welled up in her eyes. However, they refused to fall.
Slowly, Su Xiaoning took out an Elixir Furnace from her storage bag.
The furnace was extremely small and looked like it had been around for a long time. It was extremely old and was covered in mottled copper.
Based on that alone, the Elixir Furnace was inconspicuous and there was nothing special about it.
However, at that moment, Su Xiaoning's arm was injured and fresh blood dripped onto the bronze Elixir Furnace.
After being stained by Su Xiaoning's blood, the Elixir Furnace suddenly emitted a divine light that shone brightly, causing everyone to gasp in shock!
Immediately after, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Elixir Furnace.
This time round, even a fool could tell that the Elixir Furnace was definitely a treasure!
He Xing's eyes lit up and a flash of greed flashed through his eyes as he licked his lips.
Back then, he could vaguely tell that the Elixir Furnace was similar to something described in an ancient book in True Fire Sect. That was the reason why he pestered Su Xiaoning multiple times, wanting to buy the Elixir Furnace back.
If they were outside the capital, He Xing would have long killed her and snatched the treasure!
Now that he had a look, the Elixir Furnace was indeed no ordinary item and there was a high chance that it was something described in the ancient book!
At the thought of what was recorded in the ancient book, He Xing's heart burned and he was even more determined to get his hands on the Elixir Furnace at all costs!
Yang Yu looked at the Elixir Furnace in Su Xiaoning's hands and froze for a moment with a look of shock in her eyes.
It was clear that she had not expected the Elixir Furnace to be a treasure!
For a moment, a look of regret flashed through Yang Yu's eyes.
If she did not get Su Xiaoning to return the Elixir Furnace, given her authority in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop, she would most likely be able to get her hands on the Elixir Furnace!
Under countless greedy gazes, Su Xiaoning felt as though she could be torn into pieces at any moment. She was terrified and helpless as her limbs turned cold.
For some reason, a figure suddenly flashed through Su Xiaoning's mind.
That figure wore green robes and was neither tall nor burly. However, he was able to shelter her from the wind and rain.
At that moment, a gentle voice seemed to ring in Su Xiaoning's ears. "Xiaoning, don't be afraid."
