Could it be …
A bold idea suddenly came into Ding Ning's mind, and he looked at Mr. Hu with an extremely strange expression.
Mr. Hu was puzzled by Ding Ning's gaze. He blinked his eyes in confusion and did not know what his senior fellow apprentice meant.
Ding Ning subconsciously glanced at Mr. Jiang again. Seeing his blank face, Ding Ning could not help but frown slightly. Did he also not know the truth?
But when Mr. Jiang talked about Millie Xue's origin before, he seemed to want to cover it up. Ding Ning immediately denied this idea.
Mr. Jiang must know the truth, but for some unknown reason, he was not willing to make it public.
Ding Ning withdrew his gaze and showed a thoughtful expression. If this patient was really the biological son of Mr. Hu and Jiang Kaili, then Mr. Jiang's deliberate concealment could be completely explained.
After all, the patient was born in the Rothschild Family. No matter how open-minded such a big family was, it would never allow a person who was not of the Rothschild Family's bloodline to mix in, especially when the patient was a pure Shenzhou person. Once this secret was leaked out, Mr. Jiang's nephew and Millie Xue's family would be doomed eternally.
In order to protect this secret and the lives of his nephew's family, Mr. Jiang could only bury this secret deep in his heart and cut off contact with his nephew's family. He even dared not tell Mr. Hu, the person involved.
The more Ding Ning thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. For the first time, he was full of respect for Mr. Jiang. This stubborn and poor old man never expected that the nephew he yearned for day and night was the patient in front of him.
"Forget it. I just want to help him get rid of the poison and win this competition. Now that I know that he is Mr. Jiang's nephew and is likely to be Mr. Hu's biological son, I can't sit back and do nothing about his internal injury as an elder. I'll just treat it as a gift for my nephew."
Thinking that he had become Millie Xue's elder, two generations higher than her, Ding Ning's mood became inexplicably wonderful.
When Millie Xue knew that the person she schemed against turned out to be her grandfather, what expression would she have? Ding Ning was looking forward to it very much.
Silently humming a tune, Ding Ning cast a camouflage spell, quietly took out some ancient herbs from the Spiritual Medicine Ring and mixed them in the medicinal materials. After a simple treatment, he threw them into the Yanlong Furnace, closed the lid, and continued to play mobile games.
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion. They didn't know what he was playing at. Didn't he already concoct the pill? Why did he start concocting pills again?
"It must be because the previous pill wasn't satisfactory. That's why he wants to concoct another batch."
Someone guessed softly.
"It's very possible. That pill just now didn't have any medicinal fragrance. It must be a defective product."
Someone immediately followed up and guessed.
"I heard that elixirs also have grades. It seems that the Young Medicine King concocted a high grade elixir, which gave him a lot of pressure. He didn't have any confidence in winning, so he concocted another cauldron."
Someone said confidently, thinking that he had found the truth.
"That's not right. If his second cauldron is concocting a high-grade elixir, it shouldn't be the same as the first cauldron. Then … then whatever."
There were also people who felt that something was wrong and raised their own doubts.
"Maybe he doesn't have the confidence to refine high level pills, and can only win by quantity."
The previous person couldn't explain it and could only make a far-fetched guess.
"There's a fixed standard for elixirs. Quantitative changes won't lead to qualitative changes. I don't think it's that simple."
Someone didn't agree and shook his head to deny this guess.
"That's not necessarily true. What we can be sure of now is that the Young Medicine King is concocting a high-grade elixir. However, he has already failed a few times. It's obvious that it's very difficult to concoct a high-grade elixir.
If the Young Medicine King can't successfully concoct it, or the elixir he concocts isn't satisfactory, there's still hope for the Young Medicine King to win by concocting two low-grade elixirs. "
"It still doesn't make sense. If the Young Medicine King fails, he can win with one low-grade elixir. There's no need for him to concoct another one. If the Young Medicine King succeeds, even if he concocts two low-grade elixirs, he still has no hope of winning."
"Then why do you think it is?"
"How would I know? The Young Medicine King's actions are always unexpected. However, I think he must have his reasons. He won't do useless things."
"What's the difference between what you said and not saying anything?"
…
With Ding Ning's action, everyone was whispering to each other and guessing his intentions. Unfortunately, no one could guess it. They could only wait and see for the answer.
Even Mr. Hu and Xun Er, who knew Ding Ning's attainments in concocting elixirs, didn't know what he was planning. Why did he start another furnace?
"Mr. Wen, what do you think?"
Millie Xue stared at Ding Ning doubtfully and asked in confusion.
Mr. Wen was also confused. He shook his head and guessed, "I can't see through it. This person's actions are unexpected. It's hard to guess his real intentions. Maybe he feels that the previous furnace of elixirs is not enough to win, so he wants to refine another furnace to see if he can surpass the first one."
Millie Xue nodded slightly. This might be the only possibility. This made the last trace of luck in her heart disappear, and a trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes.
Fortunately, there was a spare tire, Sun Yaozu, who suddenly made a breakthrough. Hopefully, he could bring her some surprises.
Time passed quietly. While everyone was waiting in boredom, Sun Yaozu, who had been as still as a statue as if he had entered an uninhabited land, suddenly showed joy on his face. With his hands shining with spiritual light, he patted the Nine-flowered Green Jade Tripod gently.
The lid of the cauldron suddenly flew up and floated in the air. A refreshing and rich medicinal fragrance spread out from the cauldron and instantly filled the entire venue. Everyone's spirits were lifted. They took a deep breath and looked at Sun Yaozu with reverence in their eyes.
Although they didn't know what level this elixir was, the fragrance of the elixir made them feel comfortable all over. They knew that this elixir was not an ordinary one.
"Condense!"
Sun Yaozu shouted in a low voice.
He made a series of gestures with both hands, and a series of elixir spells hit the elixir that was about to take shape. The elixir squirmed at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly condensed into a shape. The rough surface gradually became smooth and flawless, and the overflowing medicinal fragrance quickly converged. Soon, it became a crystal clear elixir.
Sun Yaozu was overjoyed. He took out a jade bottle that he had prepared and put the elixir into it. He glanced at Ding Ning with a trace of arrogance on his face. He proudly cupped his hands at the judges and said in a loud voice, "Fortunately, I didn't fail you. Earth-level top-grade elixir, Heaven Drop Elixir, is done."
"Earth-level top-grade? What level is it? "
"I've heard that elixirs are divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human, and each level is further divided into four levels: low, medium, high, and extreme. This Young Medicine King can actually refine an Earth-level top-grade elixir. I'm afraid no one in the world can match his alchemy skills."
"Isn't there a Heaven-level above the Earth-level? To say that his alchemy skills are unparalleled, I'm afraid it's a bit of an exaggeration. "
"That's why you said that because you don't understand. You'll understand with a simple example. An incurable disease like cancer can be easily cured by a Human-level top-grade elixir. Earth-level elixir is not something that ordinary people can take. Only those warriors with strong bodies can take it. As for Heaven-level elixir, legend has it that it's for gods to take it. How can there be gods in this world? Therefore, Heaven-level elixirs only exist in legends. The Young Medicine King can refine an Earth-level top-grade elixir.
Since he can refine an Earth-level top-grade elixir, he is already unparalleled. "
"Oh my god, so that's how it is. Doesn't that mean that Earth-level top-grade elixir is a miraculous elixir that can bring people back from the dead?"
"You can say that. This Young Medicine King is not simple. From now on, I'm afraid that he will soar to the sky. No matter how noble the family is, they will all treat him as a distinguished guest. They might not even be able to get a single elixir."
…
With a boom, the scene was instantly in an uproar. People were talking about it. As the knowledgeable people explained the elixir, everyone stared at the crystal clear Heaven Pill with fiery eyes. When they looked at Sun Yaozu again, their eyes were filled with fanaticism and envy.
Feeling the admiring eyes of the crowd, Sun Yaozu felt comfortable all over. Especially when he found that Millie Snow was also looking at him with joy and fiery eyes, the complacent feeling made him even more complacent. He felt that he was standing at the peak of his life at this moment.
He waved his hand in high spirits and squinted at Ding Ning. With a disdainful smile, he said arrogantly to the group of judges who were appreciating the Heaven Pill, "Judges, can you now announce the result of the second round of the competition?"
The expressions of Carlos and the others froze. Although they didn't like Sun Yaozu's arrogant manner, he really had the ability. Although they didn't know the grade of the elixir, just smelling it made them feel refreshed and refreshed, and all their fatigue disappeared. It was definitely an extremely high-end elixir.
"Don't be impatient, representative of America. The representative of Shenzhou hasn't finished refining yet. After he finishes refining, our group of judges can give a fair score," Catherine said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Although the elixir refined by Sun Yaozu looked very powerful, she was still very attentive to him. What a joke, her man was a god. Even Athena took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. How could he be afraid of a mere Earth-level top-grade elixir?
Sun Yaozu's face darkened, and he said in a disdainful tone, "What's there to wait for? Even if he refined it, it can't be compared to my Heaven Pill. It's not hard to tell who will win. Hurry up and announce the result, so as not to waste everyone's time."
"That's right. It's getting late. Hurry up and announce the result, so as not to waste everyone's time."
"Yes, that Ding Ning, just by looking at his alchemy technique, we can tell that even if he can refine it, he can't be compared to Master Sun at all. It's clear who will win."
"Yes, hurry up and announce the result. It's okay to waste our time, but we can't afford to waste Master Sun's time."
…
Many medical experts at the scene had already made up their minds to build a good relationship with Sun Yaozu, so they immediately voiced their support and even called him Master Sun.
"All judges, you've seen it, right? This is what everyone expected. Please give your score now. I don't have time to waste with a person with an undeserved reputation here."
Seeing that so many people supported him, Sun Yaozu became more and more complacent. With his hands behind his back, he said arrogantly, not hiding his contempt for Ding Ning at all.
Seeing that the crowd was excited, the members of the group of judges all showed hesitation. Subconsciously, they looked at Ding Ning, who had an indifferent expression and was playing with his phone without raising his head. They smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Carlos directly grabbed the microphone. "In this case, I now announce that the winner of the second round of the medical exchange is the representative of America, Sun …"
"Wait!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out, and it reverberated in the huge venue.
"Oh, Ding Ning, do you have any speech about your failure that you want to make?"
Sun Yaozu spread his hands and looked at Ding Ning with a face full of ridicule.
"Hahaha!"
Those medical experts who were waiting to ride on Sun Yaozu's coattails all laughed very cooperatively, looking at Ding Ning as if they were looking at a clown.
