2240 Why Are You Here?
Shu Jing’s expression was cold as she said indifferently, “You’re very confident in her. The competition isn’t over yet, but you’re sure she’ll win?”
Xiao Ba tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and blinked ambiguously. “It can’t be helped. Our Master is just so outstanding.”
Shu Jing laughed. Anyone could tell that there was contempt and disdain in her smile.
“There are some things that are best not said in advance. Otherwise, when the results are out, won’t it be difficult to clean up?”
This Chu Liuyue is arrogant, and the people under her are all the same as her.
At this moment, Chu Liuyue suddenly threw the dragon-taming nut surrounded by the remaining two petals into the cauldron and slapped it!
Swoosh!
A cluster of reddish-gold flames suddenly poured into the cauldron and swallowed it!
The scorching flames raised the temperature of the surrounding space.
Shu Jing’s expression changed. “That’s—”
The reddish-gold flames were clearly visible!
“Condense!” Chu Liuyue yelled loudly.
With her order, all the fireballs in the Heavenly Square Cauldron began to gather in the middle!
Several fireballs fused together, and the medicinal herbs—which had long been refined—quickly condensed!
This action immediately caused many people to exclaim. “She’s actually planning to make a pill just like that?”
“Isn’t this too fast? Has the dragon-taming nut inside been refined yet?”
“I didn’t see it clearly. There seemed to be another fire just now…”
“She’s so rash—it looks like she’s anxious. Sigh, Shangguan Yue is probably going to lose this round!”
Everyone criticized her.
Many people shook their heads. Clearly, they all thought that this competition was about to end.
But at this moment, all the flames in the Heavenly Square Cauldron finally fused!
Randomly, a fist-sized pill condensed!
A powerful pressure gradually emitted from above.
Whir!
The Heavenly Square Cauldron buzzed when it was hit by the power of this pill!
All the voices disappeared at this moment!
Shu Jing’s heart sank, and she could hardly believe her eyes. The pill was formed? It is really a pill?! How can that be?
Whir!
An invisible force fluctuated and continued to spread from the pill!
This sound shocked Liang He. He subconsciously looked up and saw that a round and bright golden pill was shrinking under the transparent flames.
This was the final tempering! Moreover, from the looks of it, she was clearly about to succeed!
Liang He’s heart was in a mess. Isn’t she a Senior Physician? How could she refine a Supreme Physician-level pill?
In a moment of dazedness, the flames in his bronze cauldron instantly lost control and burned crazily.
Boom!
There was an explosion!
Liang He knew that something was wrong. He immediately tiptoed and retreated.
The flames in the cauldron exploded, and several sparks scattered with astonishing power!
Seeing this, Shu Jing immediately waved her sleeves.
A barrier flew out and trapped the bronze cauldron. Only then did it stop the power from spreading wildly.
The flames inside gradually extinguished, and the ashes danced wildly, leaving only a mess.
…
Liang He’s chest trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. He knew very well that he had completely failed this time.
But on the other side—
Under the continuous tempering of the flames, the pill had already changed from its initial appearance to the size of a longan.
The dazzling golden light was pure and rich.
Swoosh!
Finally, the pill was completely refined and flew out of the cauldron!
Chu Liuyue was quick-witted—she quickly flew up and firmly grabbed the pill! Right on the heels of that, she placed it into the black jade box she had prepared without hesitation.
Da!
The jade box closed and locked the pill inside. However, the air was still filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.
Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief. It’s done!
She smiled and turned to Shu Jing. “Eighth Deity, the competition has ended. Please take a look at this Settling Yuan Pill yourself and see who won and who lost!”
With that, she flicked her wrist and sent the jade box out!
Shu Jing was still in a daze. When she saw that thing flying toward her, she subconsciously reached out to catch it.
The cold touch spread from her palm to her heart, finally waking her up a lot.
Her entire body seemed to freeze.
Chu Liuyue didn’t rush her. She just looked at Shu Jing calmly, as if she was very patient.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Shu Jing. Obviously, they were also waiting for Shu Jing’s answer.
Shu Jing had never felt so uncomfortable before.
She gritted her teeth and finally looked at the jade box in her hand. Then, she slowly opened it.
Kada.
A bright golden pill was lying quietly inside.
With just a glance, Shu Jing immediately understood that this was indeed a successfully refined Settling Yuan Pill!
Her slender fingers gripped the jade box so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly as she smiled and asked, “Eighth Deity, why aren’t you saying anything? How is my Settling Yuan Pill? Who exactly is the winner of this competition? You’re the referee. Naturally, everyone will believe you if you say it.”
She wanted Shu Jing to admit that she won!
Shu Jing’s throat was dry. She opened her mouth, but she felt that it was really difficult to say this.
Suddenly, the void trembled, and ripples spread.
A blurry figure slowly appeared. “Eighth Deity.”
Shu Jing was shocked and immediately turned around to look. A hint of shock flashed across her eyes. “Why are you here?!”
