Chapter 280: Fame? Or Reward?
Now that his goal has been achieved, Bai Sinan no longer hides his strength.
The strange fire was blazing, and under the control of her powerful mental power, it was sometimes like a dragon and a tiger leaping, and sometimes like a long stream of water, and its temperature and strength were precisely controlled.
Inside the alchemy furnace, each herb is refined under high temperature and turned into pure medicinal liquid without a trace of impurities.
The liquid medicine gradually merged together through the squeezing of mental power.
Bai Sinan's eyes were focused, sweat slightly appeared on his forehead, but his hands did not stop moving.
At the critical moment when the fusion was about to be completed, the red bug had already quietly crawled to the foot...
"Oh no, Xiaonan, there is danger under your feet!"
Taigu reminded loudly, but it was too late, the bug had already bitten Bai Sinan's leg.
The poison spreads throughout the body instantly. Although it is not fatal, it is a toxin that specifically attacks mental power.
"hiss!"
Bai Sinan's hands trembled and his vision went dark.
If it weren't for Taigu's help, she would have probably exploded right away.
"Damn it! You actually used such despicable means!"
Taigu cursed inwardly. He despised people who resorted to underhanded tricks when they couldn't win.
Bai Sinan took a deep breath and tried to control his shaking body: "Tai Gu, I'm fine, don't worry about anything else, we can't fail."
"Okay, Xiaonan, hold on!"
Bai Si Nan endured the pain of his mental power being eroded and refocused his attention on the elixir. At this time, the liquid in the cauldron became a little unstable due to the fluctuations just now, and all the previous efforts might be wasted at any time.
She gritted her teeth, mobilized the remaining strength in her body, and carefully guided the direction of the medicine. Taigu also tried his best to help stabilize the situation.
boom!
boom!
Two explosions were heard in succession, and after seeing the situation clearly, the audience exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god, why did Mr. Lu's furnace explode?"
"Mr. Xue also exploded?!"
"How can this be?!"
Both Elder Lu and Elder Xue were famous alchemists, enjoying great reputations in the entire Dan City. It was unbelievable that their furnaces were blown up at the same time.
Not only that, the conditions of Mr. Lu and Mr. Xue are visibly bad, making it hard not to suspect that someone is deliberately targeting them.
However, during the Alchemy Competition, no matter what accidents occur, the competition must not be interrupted, and other alchemists must not be disturbed from refining their pills.
So even if everyone has doubts, the game must go on.
Zhang Shenying curled the corners of his lips and thought to himself: Now no one can stop me from winning the first place!
But the last explosion did not sound for a long time. He looked in the direction of Bai Sinan in confusion, and was surprised to find that not only did Bai Sinan's furnace not explode, but the pill was about to be produced!
The rich fragrance of elixir wafted out from the ancient gilded tripod, and everyone present was intoxicated by it.
"Oh my god! Who made this medicine?"
"This is the first time in my life that I have smelled such a strong medicinal fragrance. I feel refreshed just by smelling it!"
"This feels like the taste of Jinyudan... Could it be..."
Everyone turned their eyes to Bai Sinan and talked about it in amazement, while Zhang Shenying was completely dumbfounded with his eyes wide open.
Although the poisonous insect was the last to bite her, it would be normal to refine a useless pill even if the furnace hadn't exploded, right?
But what's going on now?
To have such a strong fragrance, the elixir must be of at least top-grade quality, and it is also the most difficult to make, the Golden Jade Pill.
How strong must one's mental strength be to be able to accomplish such things under his poison? !
Xu Changqing has now completely confirmed that Yuebai is Bai Sinan.
What puzzled him was that Bai Sinan was now so poisoned, why didn't Yan Qianjue show up?
Could it be that there was no special relationship between the two of them? But if that was the case, why would she take such a risk?
Ding!
Following a crisp sound, the fragrance of the elixir, which was several times stronger than before, instantly filled the entire square.
Bai Sinan was so tired that he collapsed on the ground. He didn't care what kind of pill he had. He grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. With a bottle of spiritual spring water, he felt refreshed instantly.
"Did he just eat a pill?"
"Eating pills as candy beans? Is this still a human being?"
"This... Let's not talk about how valuable these pills are. Even the poison in so many pills is not something a normal person can handle at once, right?"
There was a lot of discussion from the audience.
Zhang Shenying was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Fortunately, his pill is about to be refined. Although it is his first time, it is a low-level seven-star pill after all, so his chances of success are still great.
Ding!
The one who made the pill this time was Yan Jinan.
He looked at the pills in the alchemy furnace and almost jumped up with excitement.
Although it was only a low-grade elixir, he did successfully break through to the sixth-grade elixir king!
All this is thanks to the mysterious power that frightened him before!
Yan Jinan shifted his gaze to Yue Bai, who was sitting on the ground in a vain state, and felt that he could no longer understand this young man whom he had just met.
"The competition time is up. Alchemists, please hand over the refined pills to the medicine boy."
"Wait a moment!"
Mr. Lu and Mr. Xue had already recovered by now and were just waiting for the referee to announce the end of the game.
The referee also remembered what happened before: "If you two have anything to say, feel free to speak up."
Elder Xue was furious: "I was framed!"
"That's right! I was refining the elixir, but suddenly I felt something bite me, and then my head felt like it was pierced by needles, and my mental power was completely out of control!"
Elder Lu immediately replied. With his strength as a seventh-grade Dan King, he would definitely be the first, but this happened...
"Someone must be afraid that I'll take first place, so they resorted to such shameful means!"
He was so angry that his eyebrows raised and his voice was full of indignation!
When everyone heard what the two old men said, they all felt that it made sense and cast their suspicious eyes towards Yuebai.
Bai Si Nan stood up with a confused look on his face: "No, why are you looking at me? Isn't there a guy who likes to make poison? Look at him."
After her reminder, everyone remembered Zhang Shenying and turned their eyes to him.
"Humph, although I am a poison master, I am also a seventh-grade alchemist. There is no need for me to do such shameful things."
Zhang Shenying crossed his arms across his chest with an arrogant look on his face.
Everyone was at a loss for a moment. After all, there was no evidence pointing to anyone, and even the referee didn't dare to jump to conclusion. They could only wait for the decision of the judges.
Yan Jinan couldn't bear to watch it any longer and said, "No way, it's so obvious, why are you guys so entangled?"
"Oh?" Xu Changqing curved his eyes: "Young Master Yan, what do you think?"
"This Zhang Shenying, who calls himself Black Hand, tried to rob a woman in the street and got angry when I stopped him, so he tried to kill me with a poisonous insect."
"If Brother Yuebai hadn't saved me at that time, I'm afraid he would have succeeded."
As soon as Yan Jinan finished speaking, there was an uproar around him. Everyone looked at Zhang Shenying with contempt.
Zhang Shenying's face turned extremely ugly, and he roared: "It's obvious that you are meddling in other people's business. This young master just wants to teach you a lesson. Besides, who can prove that they were bitten by poisonous insects? Maybe it's..."
"Is this the poisonous insect you are talking about?"
Bai Sinan interrupted him and raised his right foot. On the ground was a red bug that had been stepped on to death.
"A poison that specifically attacks mental power. If my mental power wasn't strong enough, I'd probably explode."
She smiled, but that smile was very creepy: "So I'm really curious, what is your purpose in wanting to get first place so much?"
"Fame? Or...reward?"
Zhang Shenying was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xu Changqing.
“Does it matter what the reason is?”
Xu Changqing stood up with a smile and walked to Zhang Shenying: "Such a despicable behavior, if you fail, you must bear the consequences. Don't you agree, Miss Bai?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and Xu Changqing's arm pierced directly into his chest.
The blood flowed down his forearm to his fingertips, dripping onto the ground, forming blood flowers.
"what!!!"
Such a bloody scene frightened everyone so much that they screamed and wanted to escape from this place of trouble. The square was instantly in chaos.
Bai Sinan's expression was extremely cold. After taking back the ancient gilded tripod, he took out the golden jade pill inside and said, "This is a top-grade six-star high-level pill. Vice President, should I also receive the first place reward?"
