When the four hours were about to end, Zhen Xianshu was still sweating profusely while refining the phosphorescent powder. Munin was beside her, giving her pointers.
Everyone was already impatient. They cursed Zhen Xianshu and Munin countless times in their hearts. The two of them were the epitome of useless trash. They were a complete disgrace to the Zhen family.
Some of the younger generation even said, "Are the two geniuses of the Zhen family done yet? Everyone is waiting for you. You are really shameless." “
"With your level of refining medicine, you still have the courage to admit that you are members of the Lord Zhen's family. If it were anyone else, they would be so ashamed that they would find a hole to hide in."
"I think that the Zhen family's refining skills are not to be doubted. However, they will never pass it on to Young Madam Shen and a mediocre concubine's son."
"Speaking of which, the Zhen family of Yunzhou Prefecture has inherited seventy to eighty percent of the Zhen family's refining skills. We are many times better than these two. In time, we will be able to restore the Zhen family to its former glory."
"You two, hurry up. Don't you feel embarrassed to let so many seniors waste their time?"
"If you don't know how to refine medicine, then don't force yourself. You are too shameless to represent the Zhen family."
…
The four hours were finally over. Zhen Xianshu also stopped refining medicine, but no one cared.
However, according to the rules, Quan Zhen still sent someone to bring the phosphorescent powder for everyone to examine.
"High-grade? How is this possible?!"
"Elder Yu, are you sure?"
"Everyone, come and see."
"It is really high-grade." “
Along with the judge's surprised voice, the others were also shocked and looked at Zhen Xianshu in disbelief.
She was able to refine high-grade phosphorescent powder even when the powder was about to be burnt. Her refining skills were indeed very good. Judging from this, Zhen Xianshu's refining skills were close to the Saint Realm. At least, she was better than the other seven participants.
However, everyone was puzzled. Since Zhen Xianshu's refining skills were so high, why would she make such a low-level mistake like burning the powder?
Was it to show that she was good at refining medicine? Or was it because her useless cousin, Zhen Mowu, was really good at refining medicine?
But those who thought this quickly rejected this unrealistic idea. Although it was shocking that Zhen Xianshu had such high alchemy skills, it wasn't something they couldn't accept. It could be said that she deserved her reputation as a genius.
Zhen Mowu, on the other hand, was a nobody. Even if he had obtained the secrets of the Zhen family, it would be impossible for him to reach the level of a Saint in a short period of time.
After a round of exclamations, the judges soon realised that the amount of Phosphorescent Powder that Zhen Xianshu had refined was extremely small, it was only a fifth of the others.
Just like that, the Zhen Clan's side branch took advantage of the situation and immediately questioned the result of Zhen Xianshu's victory. "City Lord Quan, although you said that the person closest to the Zhen Clan would be able to obtain the Zhen Clan's treasure after refining the high quality phosphorescent powder, Zhen Xianshu is just taking advantage of the situation. Look at the phosphorescent powder she refined, it's not even 20% of the others'."
"That's right. Although City Lord Quan didn't say anything, such an opportunistic person can't be considered to have won." The Qu Family members agreed.
The reasons given by the two families were so good that the Family Shen also tried to refute them, but he was powerless.
Just like that, almost everyone felt that the winner should be either the Qu Family or the side branch of the Zhen Clan.
However, Quan Zhen looked at Munin again and said in an unquestionable tone, "Since I didn't say anything, then Young Madam Shen is right. Today's battle is won by the Zhen Mowu siblings. I will now hand over the Zhen Clan's treasure to them."
Although the Qu Family and the side branch of the Family Shen were dissatisfied, this was Green Rock City. A strong dragon couldn't suppress a snake in its own turf. They couldn't do anything about it.
Soon, a few soldiers came forward with a few brocade boxes and opened them one by one. There were three pharmacopoeias, five ordinary prescriptions, one medical book, and Zhen Mowu's personal belongings. The only thing missing was the family heirloom, the jade pendant.
The others didn't leave because they wanted to see what the Zhen Clan's family heirloom looked like. They were very disappointed. Someone immediately said, "City Lord Quan, have you forgotten something? Or are you going back on your word? “
"The Zhen Clan's family heirloom is of great importance. I will hand it over to the Zhen siblings in private. You don't have to worry about it," Quan Zhen said with a calm expression.
"Who knows if your words are without proof, or if you don't have the Zhen Clan's family heirloom in your hands. Today's battle of refining medicine is a lie to the entire Xinglin World." Among the people present, there was no lack of sharp-tongued people. Every word was aimed at Quan Zhen's vital points, making him unable to back down.
However, Quan Zhen was a city lord. He was prepared for this kind of small situation. He said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Everyone is exaggerating. I am not that kind of person. Although I won't hand the family heirloom to the Zhen siblings in public, I will still take it out for everyone to see."
Before he finished speaking, another soldier came forward with a brocade box the size of a palm. He slowly opened it, revealing a jade pendant in the shape of a mushroom. At first glance, it was obvious that it wasn't an ordinary item.
When the people present saw it, their eyes lit up. They wanted nothing more than to snatch it away, but they were speechless.
"Since everyone has seen it, I will temporarily take care of it. After this, I will definitely hand it over to the Zhen siblings," Quan Zhen said. He then had the soldier put away the brocade box.
However, Munin suddenly said, "City Lord Quan, thank you very much for bringing back the family heirloom. However, can I see the family heirloom first?"
A trace of shock flashed through Quan Zhen's eyes. He didn't think that the Zhen Clan's trash would be so shrewd. He didn't directly expose him. Instead, he pretended to ask to see the family heirloom. It seemed that he had some ability to escape from Captain Zhang Yu's hands.
Thinking of this, Quan Zhen became serious. He believed that Munin wouldn't be able to snatch the jade pendant away. However, he still didn't want to agree to Munin's request.
However, he still wanted to borrow the Xinglin Family's power to refine medicine in front of everyone. He couldn't break his promise. He could only personally take the jade pendant and give it to Munin.
While Munin was looking at the jade pendant, he had already circulated his internal energy to guard against Munin's tricks.
After receiving the jade pendant, Munin was reluctant to throw it away. He actually looked at it for a full fifteen minutes. After being urged many times, he reluctantly returned the jade pendant.
With Munin in such a state, Quan Zhen suddenly felt that his previous judgment was wrong. This Zhen Clan's trash was simply reluctant to part with the family heirloom. It was ridiculous that he was still so serious.
After taking back the jade pendant, Quan Zhen immediately had the soldier put it back.
Munin's expression didn't change. However, his aura changed slightly. He looked at the jade pendant for a long time. It wasn't because he was reluctant to part with the family heirloom. It was because he was using his spirit bean to stimulate his strength. In the end, it took him fifteen minutes to complete.
After he succeeded, he could use his divine sense. His strength was comparable to that of a First Rated Warrior. However, he couldn't obtain the pill formula in the jade pendant. He had already expected this. He quietly used his divine sense to mark it. He would be able to sense it within a certain distance and find an opportunity to steal it.
At this moment, a servant of the Zhen Clan hurriedly came and whispered a few words in Zhen Fu Ming's ear.
In the end, although Zhen Fu Ming tried his best to hide it, a trace of ecstasy could be seen in his eyes. He immediately left with a few important members of the Zhen Clan.
The others were confused. They didn't understand what had happened.
However, a subordinate of the City Lord's Mansion quickly passed a secret message to Quan Zhen. After reading it, although his expression didn't change, he said a few polite words and asked his subordinates to take care of the others. After that, he hurriedly left.
After that, people from the Family Shen's Qu Clan and the Fu Clan from the other Xinglin World came to report. However, only the Qu Clan and the Fu Clan hurriedly left.
The Family Shen, Shen Quxin, hesitated for a long time. In the end, he glanced at Munin. Then, he asked a housekeeper to lead the others away.
The remaining people were confused. Only Munin was stunned. However, he was pleasantly surprised.
This was because the people who came to report were all about the Clear Jade Pill that he had given to the dark-skinned youth. It seemed to have appeared in a large medicine store.
Seeing these people rushing over to snatch it, he felt that he had completely underestimated the value of the sacred medicine.
