Zhou Xinlian hurriedly gathered her thoughts and started refining again. However, she only managed to refine a mid-grade Restorative Spirit Pill.
Actually, the pill she refined was very good, and it was a mid-grade pill. In the South Shore Continent, it was already considered a top-grade pill. However, she had just witnessed Luo Yu refine a high-grade Restorative Spirit Pill without any effort.
Although she lived in the Chu Clan, she had always enjoyed the treatment of a legitimate daughter. Her learning of alchemy was also more orthodox than others, and she had always been proud of it. Now, she had lost to a nobody. This was hard for her to accept.
At this moment, another burst of pill fragrance drifted over. The crowd gasped in surprise. Luo Yu had refined a mid-grade Fasting Pill so easily. She even frowned in disdain, as if she was not satisfied with the result.
However, Fasting Pills were much harder to refine than Restorative Spirit Pills. The complexity was on a whole new level. Fasting Pills in the South Shore Continent were almost all low-grade pills. Luo Yu had refined a mid-grade pill so easily. All the alchemists present had begun to pay attention to her.
The alchemy competition only required three furnaces of pills. It was much simpler than the weapon refining competition. Luo Yu had already refined two furnaces. There was only one last furnace left. She began to pick herbs. Zhou Xinlian could not believe what she was seeing. Luo Yu was picking herbs for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Could it be that Luo Yu knew how to refine Foundation Establishment Pills? She did not!
Zhou Xinlian could not believe it. However, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Luo Yu had a card up her sleeve.
After that, Zhou Xinlian could not help but look at Luo Yu. She could have refined a mid-grade pill, but she had refined a low-grade one.
Her expression turned ugly.
The first furnace was ruined. The second furnace was a mid-grade pill, and the third furnace was a low-grade pill. She did not need to look to know that she would not be able to enter the top three!
There were only a few dozen people participating in the competition, but she couldn't even get into the top three. She had completely faded into the crowd and was just as inconspicuous as when she had first arrived. The audience didn't even spare her a glance as they were all focused on the progress of Luo Yu's refinement. Zhou Xinlian's plan was completely ruined!
She was furious. She had wanted to refine mid-grade pills in all three furnaces. If she performed well, she might even be able to refine a high-grade pill. In addition, the pills she had refined in the end were not common. Others might not know the recipe. This showed her ability. She would definitely be able to get first place.
In the South Shore Continent, it was quite difficult to maintain a mid-grade furnace.
But all of this had been ruined by Luo Yu! If Luo Yu had not suddenly switched to her side, how could she have been distracted and made such a mistake? She had been practicing in the Zhou family for the past few days and was very confident.
When many people heard that a powerful Alchemist had appeared in the Alchemy Competition, they all ran over to take a look. At this time, the outside of the arena was already filled with people. Unable to do anything to Luo Yu, Zhou Xinlian glared at Luo Yu, trying to disturb her. At the same time, she wanted to see if Luo Yu could concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill.
If Luo Yu's cauldron was destroyed, then even if the results of the previous two cauldrons were good, they would not be able to compete.
Unfortunately, Luo Yu was not affected by her at all. She did not even look at her.
The time taken to concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill was relatively long, and the other alchemists were not that strong. Very soon, more than half of the alchemists had either completed or failed. They walked over to watch Luo Yu concoct the pill.
When Luo Yu was being trained by Chu Xiang, she was already used to paying full attention. She was even used to emptying her mind and letting Chu Xiang control her. Now that she was participating in the Alchemy Competition, she naturally had no distractions. Even if there were so many people watching her, she acted as if she was the only one and focused on concocting the pill.
After a long time, she suddenly had a mysterious epiphany.
This kind of opportunity was extremely important to cultivators. Every time she had an epiphany, she would be able to improve greatly. Luo Yu immediately immersed herself and grasped this feeling tightly. She instinctively concocted the pill and completed the last step.
The pill was complete! The cauldron was up!
Luo Yu had actually concocted a high grade Foundation Establishment Pill!!!
Everyone was in an uproar. Even the organizer came forward to take a look at the pill. Usually, it was not easy for everyone to see a Foundation Establishment Pill. A low grade Foundation Establishment Pill could be taken to the Treasure Pavilion to be auctioned. When had they ever seen a high grade Foundation Establishment Pill? This was the precious collection of a large family!
At this time, Luo Yu did not touch the pill. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate.
Everyone looked at Luo Yu in a different light. She was only a Pill Refinement Master, but she had an epiphany while concocting pills. She was already at the peak of the Aura Refining realm. Did that mean she was about to build her foundation??
Zhou Xinlian looked at this scene with a pale face. She felt as if she had been played a big joke on. She had never heard of anyone with amazing talent before. In her generation, other than Wei Lingxiao, she felt that no one could be mentioned in the same breath as her. It was just that she had never had the chance to make a name for herself.
The Chu couple had been too selfish. Even though their daughter was a good-for-nothing, they still suppressed her and did not allow her to stand out. Otherwise, she would have already been revered by everyone.
However, reality gave her a hard slap in the face. Luo Yu, a person she had never heard of before, a person Lin Mu saved from her cousin and brought out of the slums, was actually stronger than her. Not only was her Pill Refinement Technique much better than her, but she had also built her foundation.
Zhou Xinlian's face, which was hidden under the veil hat, became sinister. Why didn't Luo Yu die at Zhou Yufeng's hands? Why did that damned Lin Mu save Luo Yu? Lin Mu, it was Lin Mu again. Was Lin Mu born to be their nemesis? Why was he always ruining their plans?
Zhou Xinlian was very unwilling to accept this, but there were too many people around. She could not do anything to Luo Yu, so she could only suppress her anger for the time being and prepare to go back to the Zhou family to make a long-term plan.
"Miss Zhou, the results of the competition are not out yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Zhou Xinlian froze and hurriedly looked at the person who spoke, hoping that he was not calling her. However, when she saw that it was "Lin Mu" walking over with a smile, her heart skipped a beat. Why did Lin Mu know her? Why did he call her? She had failed in Pill Refinement and did not make a name for herself. She could not let everyone know that it was her!
Zhou Xinlian lifted her foot and was about to leave when Chu Xiang whipped her foot. She was so shocked that she hurriedly stopped and said angrily, "Lin Mu, what are you doing? Could it be that your Hermit Family likes to be domineering? "
She knew these twists and turns better than Wei Lingxiao. She directly used the method Chu Xiang used to deal with the Wei family to deal with Chu Xiang.
However, Chu Xiang was puzzled. "Domineering? Me? I've always had an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. When have I ever been domineering? I don't even take the initiative to teach people a lesson. Every time someone bullies me, I have no choice but to take action. "
Everyone thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Although Chu Xiang had always been very domineering, she had never bullied anyone. It was always others who made trouble for her, so she took action. Didn't that serve them right? They did not blame her.
Zhou Xinlian frowned. She only realized how difficult Chu Xiang was to deal with when she faced her. She immediately wanted to leave. However, with so many people watching, she could only stand there stiffly and bite the bullet. "When I first came to Sea City, I lived in seclusion and did not go out. I have never offended Miss Lin. If Miss Lin misunderstood something, I apologize to you here. I still have something to do at home, so please excuse me. "
She was sure that she had never offended "Lin Mu", so she had already distanced herself from her. If "Lin Mu" still wanted to make things difficult for her, then she was being domineering.
Chu Xiang walked to Luo Yu's side and threw out a disk array to cover Luo Yu. Luo Yu was then unaware of the outside world. Then, Chu Xiang took a whip and knocked on the table where Zhou Xinlian was refining pills. She narrowed her eyes and said, "The pill furnace you used to refine pills belongs to my Lin family. It was left in the Chu family many years ago and has never been taken back. Since you have seen it today, please return it to its rightful owner. "
Zhou Xinlian was shocked. Lin Mu was actually acquainted with the Chu family? Lin Mu was targeting the Wei family and her to avenge the Chu family? If she provoked such a powerful enemy like the Hermit family, her life would be over!
Zhou Xinlian looked at Chu Xiang in surprise and said in disbelief, "My pill furnace was given to me by an elder in my family. It has been with me for many years. Don't talk nonsense. I heard that you robbed Young Master Zhou's things in the Blue Sea Region. Today, you … "
Everyone understood Zhou Xinlian's unfinished words. She was referring to Chu Xiang's tyrannical love of robbing others.
Chu Xiang clicked her tongue and said, "It's really hard to talk to a hypocrite like you. Don't you want me to be unreasonable and bully the weak? Then you're wrong. I am a very fair person. Zhou Yufeng wanted to kill Luo Yu and rob her of her things. I only beat him up and gave his things to Luo Yu. Isn't that being merciful?
Zhou Yufeng is your cousin. Could it be that your Zhou family only knows how to take things that others don't want to give any compensation? Zhou Xinlian, of course I can verify that it's my pill furnace. I left my mark on it. You stole my pill furnace from the Chu family. Now that you've seen the real owner, you still dare to talk big and try to ruin my reputation. If I don't teach you a lesson, won't others think that I'm a pushover? "
Everyone felt that her words were reasonable, but they also felt that something was wrong. No one would think that she was a pushover. Most likely, no one would ever think that. The Image Recording Stone that was circulating around showed how fierce her battles were.
Many people reacted and remembered that the Chu family's cousin was called Zhou Xinlian. The crowd immediately started discussing and looked at Zhou Xinlian with strange gazes. When they thought about how Chu Xiang and Zhou Yufeng were Zhou Xinlian's cousins, they felt that it was inconceivable, but at the same time, they also felt that it was natural. No one in the Zhou family was good. It was definitely inherited from the Zhou family!
When Zhou Xinlian saw that Chu Xiang directly called her out, she panicked. When she saw the crowd's reaction, she didn't dare to stay here any longer. She turned around and wanted to run away.
Chu Xiang lashed out with her whip. Zhou Xinlian used a water magic to counterattack, but it was directly scattered by Chu Xiang. Her flame whip was equivalent to the power of three Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could Zhou Xinlian, who was only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, defeat it?
Chu Xiang lashed out with her whip again, directly splitting the curtain hat on Zhou Xinlian's head in half! One had to know that Zhou Xinlian's curtain hat was also a magic tool. Now that it was actually destroyed by Chu Xiang in one move, everyone became excited. There were even people who spontaneously took out their Image Recording Stones to record. If Chu Xiang was in a good mood and made a few moves, they might be able to watch and learn more!
At the same time, everyone saw that it was indeed Zhou Xinlian's face in the curtain hat. The jeering became even louder. When Zhou Xinlian heard the crowd's disdain for her and the voices calling for her to hand over the alchemy furnace, she immediately became extremely angry.
Even if she was discovered, she wouldn't leave. She faced Chu Xiang and said coldly, "You are a vicious bandit. Since you insist that my alchemy furnace is yours, then let everyone be witnesses today. No matter how high your status and strength are, you can't bully others! "
The person in charge, Young Master Li, and Young Master Liu all walked forward. They were the people with the highest status in the crowd, so they still had some say.
"Miss Zhou, please temporarily hand over your alchemy furnace to us for safekeeping. Whoever can find the more secretive and detailed characteristics can prove who this alchemy furnace belongs to."
