She continued to refine the medicine as if nothing had happened, but not long after, suddenly, there was a bang, and her alchemy furnace was directly blown up by a powerful force, and happened to fly in the direction of Nalan Yan.
This happened very suddenly. Nalan Yan could ignore the thunder and the conversations around her, but there was no way to ignore the medicine furnace that was bigger than an adult male's head flying towards her.
If such a strong force were to fall on her, she would definitely be injured.
"Yan'er, be careful." Yunxiao was shocked when he saw this scene. He stood up suddenly and reminded Nalan Yan.
As for Nalan Yan, she also sensed something attacking her from behind. She had no choice but to give up refining the elixir and avoid the attack from the alchemy furnace.
But when she dodged, the elixir that had just been fused in her furnace exploded, and black smoke filled the air for a while.
"This? Can you play it this way?" Ye Liuyun, who was standing in the corner watching this scene, was stunned. How could she not see that this was done on purpose.
Such insidious means were used, and you probably really have no way to blame the female disciple.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Nalan, are you okay? This is my first time challenging a mid-grade blue-level elixir, and I couldn't control the temperature well for a moment. I'm so sorry." The female disciple hurriedly apologized to Nalan Yan.
But the way Nalan Yan looked at her, all she saw was sinisterness, as if she was apologizing?
Nalan Yan was not a little girl who didn't understand anything. She could tell at a glance that this was intentional. Even the disciples around her thought that this was intentional.
But how can you prove that she did it on purpose? After all, she said that it was her first time to refine a mid-grade blue-level elixir, so it was normal to make mistakes.
To be precise, it is normal for an alchemist to fail in refining elixirs, and the higher the quality of the elixir, the greater the power of the furnace explosion. It was just a coincidence that the power of the elixir that exploded the furnace just happened to blow the furnace towards Nalan Yan.
After all, Nalan Yan was about to succeed in refining it, so it couldn't be a coincidence.
But as ordinary disciples, even if they felt there was a problem, they did not dare to say much and could only express their dissatisfaction.
When Yunxiang saw this scene, she opened her red lips but didn't say anything. Obviously, she also felt that this was a bit despicable and it brought discredit to the alchemist, but due to her position, she couldn't say anything.
Seeing that Yunxiang didn't say anything, Yunxiao could only ask Nalan Yan through voice transmission.
"Yan'er, is it too late to reopen?"
Nalan Yan nodded to Yunxiao, and then immediately started again. As for the female disciple whose furnace exploded, she failed in refining the medicine, so she was naturally eliminated. Their game was originally decided by one round.
It was she who interfered with Nalan Yan, not Nalan Yan's own failure in refining, so Nalan Yan could still start over.
Even though Wang Sai didn't say much, this was originally his instruction, to let his junior sister sacrifice herself to stop Nalan Yan from making the elixir.
"Junior Sister Yunxiang, do you think this is appropriate? This goes against the principles of alchemy. The Eternal Heavenly Venerable will definitely not be happy." Yunxiao said bluntly after sitting down.
"This? This matter has nothing to do with me." Yunxiang just said this, and it really had nothing to do with me.
But she had no intention of pursuing accountability, so it was not like she knew there was a problem but ignored it or didn't ask.
Wang Sai also knew that he only had this one chance and there would never be another chance, so he could only speed up. He had already smelted the three batches of medicinal materials one after another, and the next step was to purify and fuse them.
If he still cannot defeat Nalan Yan after this, then his loss is not unfair.
Nalan Yan took a deep breath, removed the residue in the furnace, took out a new batch of medicinal materials, and started refining them for the second time.
But no one knew if it was because Wang Sai’s luck was bad. At this moment, a louder muffled thunder accompanied by the spatial tremor of Yunxia Sect reached the ears of everyone present.
The sound was too loud, with a power that shook the heavens and the earth. Wang Sai and another disciple were affected by this force and failed on the spot, and their pills exploded.
"Oh!"
"This? What the hell is going on? Why is the thunder getting louder and louder?" Wang Sai looked at his medicine furnace that was emitting black smoke and glanced at the clear sky with an embarrassed expression.
Ye Liuyun smiled when he saw this scene.
"You deserve it, me in the other world. Thank you so much for your help. Can you make the thunder louder?" Ye Liuyun thanked silently in his heart.
This time the three of them were back to the starting point, and Wang Sai spoke to Yunxiao and Yunxiang first.
"Pavilion Master, Deputy Pavilion Master, this cannot be considered a mistake on my part in refining the medicine. The thunder was too loud. I, I was affected by external forces."
Yunxiao sneered in his heart, then without saying anything more, he simply nodded, indicating that the two could start over.
But how can they defeat Nalan Yan if they start over again?
After the roar disappeared, Nalan Yan started to refine the medicine again, and her speed was still the best. What else could Wang Sai do this time? He had no choice but to pray that Nalan Yan's alchemy failed.
In fact, apart from the returning disciples from the Medicine Refining Pavilion who suffered setbacks, the original disciples in other sects and halls have all suffered setbacks.
For example, in the Martial Arts Hall managed by Yun Hui, several of his direct disciples were defeated by the disciples of the deputy hall master. There was no other way, as the most talented of his disciples was only in the late Spiritual Pattern Realm, while the newly appointed deputy hall master, Yun Xing, had one disciple at the peak of the Spiritual Pattern Realm and two disciples in the late Spiritual Pattern Realm.
They have practiced in the Yun Sect for several years, and their skills and techniques are not comparable to those of the Yunxia Sect.
But what the martial arts hall is fighting for is not management rights, but prestige.
It seems that the Yun Sect has obviously investigated the current situation of the Yunxia Sect, so the cultivators sent back are almost all equal to the current sect master and elders of the Yunxia Sect, but their disciples are stronger than those of Yun Hui and others.
Chapter 104: The Pig Demon Troubles
The news of the internal fighting in the various halls had already reached Yun Yun, who was currently sitting in the main hall drinking tea with Yun Che.
“It seems that the people you sent to the Alchemy Pavilion are not very good.” Yun Yun glanced at Yun Che on the left and said.
Yun Che was also somewhat surprised. These people had practiced in the Yun Sect for decades, and they specialized in the art of medicine, but they were actually no match for the alchemists of the Yunxia Sect. This made Yun Che puzzled, but also somewhat comforted.
“It’s good that we can win. Infighting within the sect is inevitable. I’m sure that Master has already told you, Senior Sister, that this is a fair competition. If we win, the future direction of the sect will definitely be determined by us. If the original disciples win, then it will naturally be determined by your will.” Yun Che said.
But the word "fair" made Yun Yun want to laugh.
“Fairness? Yun Che, what you mean by fairness is to gather a group of powerful disciples to suppress the younger generation of our Yunxia Sect. If it weren’t for Li Jianxin and Nalan Yan’s efforts, I’m afraid that no one in this generation would be able to fight against you returning cultivators, right?” Yun Yun asked with a mocking look on her face.
Yun Che did not deny it. It was indeed like that. The fairness he spoke of was not fairness in the true sense, but compared to being forcibly taken over by the Yun Sect, it was already fair.
“Sister, what’s so special about your precious disciple that you would rather let her leave the sect to practice in the outside world than let her come into contact with us. I guess she must have very good aptitude, right?” Yun Che shifted the topic to Lin Aoxue.
As soon as Lin Aoxue was mentioned, Yun Yun immediately became alert.
"What? You still want my apprentice to fight with Qi Chaoying? In terms of scheming, my apprentice cannot compare to him. Oh no, now it's her. I don't know if God noticed the evil heart of this kid and turned her into a woman. I suddenly feel that she is much more pleasing to the eye after she turned into a woman." Yun Yun sneered.
After she accepted Qi Chaoying, she discovered Qi Chaoying's character. He was a complete egoist who didn't care about the future of Yunxia Sect at all.
Under normal circumstances, the Yun Sect would not select an heir from a lower-level sect. It was Qi Chaoying who came out on his own and said that he wanted to go to the Yun Sect to practice.
The Yun Sect envoy must be very happy about this. Yun Yun was very angry about this incident back then. She felt that she had chosen an ungrateful person as her disciple.
“There’s no way to hide. The best way is to engage in direct combat. You know, since the upper sect has already decided to do this, it’s impossible for the four major sects to have a way out. There’s no point for her to hide in the Liuyang Mountains.” Yun Che said helplessly.
"You? How do you know that she is in the Liuyang Mountains?" Yun Yun was stunned.
Not many people knew that she sent Lin Aoxue to Liuyang Mountains. It could be said that there were only a handful of people who knew about it. It seemed that among these elders, there must be someone from Yun Sect.
Yun Che did not answer Yun Yun's question, but his lack of answer was the best answer.
"Well, it seems that there is still a traitor in the sect." Yun Yun understood.
Let’s talk about the Alchemy Pavilion. Nalan Yan crushed Wang Sai and the other man with absolute speed. A pill with a blue glow rolled out of the alchemy furnace.
When Wang Sai and the other man saw this scene, they immediately lost their minds and the pills in the alchemy furnace exploded on the spot because there was no need to go down anymore.
"Master, Deputy Pavilion Master, I have succeeded in refining this pill. It is a top-grade blue-level pill, the Youtan Di Lingdan." Nalan Yan presented the pill to Yunxiang and Yunxiao.
The two of them only took one look and knew that this was indeed the Youtan Di Lingdan, and the color was very good. They could not refine a pill that was filled with such a bright light.
"Not bad, not bad, very good, hahaha..." Yunxiao laughed.
Yunxiang looked at the pill, then glanced at Wang Sai and the other two who all looked disappointed, and finally sighed.
"Nalan Yan won this competition. From now on, the disciples of the Medicine Refining Pavilion will still be led by Nalan Yan. Let's all go." Yunxiang stood up, turned around and left.
The Alchemy Pavilion has such an excellent alchemist. She feels that the other party has the hope of becoming a purple-level alchemist. She is afraid that even she may not be able to defeat Nalan Yan. Nalan Yan's alchemy skills have actually surpassed those of her elders.
"Great." Yuan Hao and others cheered immediately.
They happily gathered around and kept congratulating Nalan Yan, because from that moment on Nalan Yan was no longer a lower-grade blue alchemist, but a higher-grade blue alchemist.
Those returning disciples were slapped in the face, bringing humiliation upon themselves.
Of course, the main reason is that Wang Sai and his group targeted them in order to highlight their status, so they must be unhappy. Now the Medicine Refinery Pavilion is still headed by Nalan Yan, and they support her wholeheartedly.
If Nalan Yan was a man, she would have been lifted up and thrown into the air by this group of fellow apprentices.
Nalan Yan showed them the alchemy skills of their Yunxia Sect. Although this was not taught to Nalan Yan by Yunxiao, as long as Nalan Yan was a disciple of the Yunxia Sect, the alchemy skills she demonstrated would naturally be considered those of the Yunxia Sect.
"Hmph! Junior Sister Nalan, do you think this is the end? Let's wait and see." Wang Sai took a deep breath, then left after saying a few words.
Nalan Yan and the others did not mock them, but just watched them leave. After the competition, Ye Liuyun also came to his own alchemy room.
"Oh! It feels so good to be slapped in the face. What a pity! I also want to show off. It feels great to be the center of attention." Ye Liuyun sighed.
"Come on, if you really want to perform well, then practice quickly and improve your physical strength." Lin Qingyou said.
Ye Liuyun let out a long sigh. If she could meet herself in another world again, she felt it necessary to ask for a few more pills. Perhaps her physical strength could be raised to a higher level.
Time passed quietly again, and a few days later something happened in the sect again.
In a mountain south of Yunxia Sect, a team of disciples from the Yunxia Sect were concentrating on searching for something in the mountain.
Looking closely, isn’t this Yu Yuan and others?
"Senior Sister Yu, where is this monster hiding? We have been looking for it for several days. Could it be that he knows we are coming and therefore dares not come out?" Several intermediate disciples of Lingxi Realm said with frowns.
The mission they received was to eliminate the wild boar monster hiding in the mountains. After investigating and tracking for a long time, they were basically sure that this mountain range was the habitat of the wild boar monster.
At this time, the sky was gradually turning into dusk. They would be at a disadvantage at night. However, their mission was about to expire, and they had also captured the whereabouts of the wild boar monster. If they missed today, it would be difficult to find this guy again.
More than a dozen people in the surrounding villages and towns have died at the hands of this pig monster. We can’t let him continue killing indiscriminately.
Soon, the sky darkened completely. For a moment, the night was dark and windy. The moon and stars were not visible tonight, and it was almost pitch dark in the mountains.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
"Damn, the wind is blowing. It's so strong, Senior Sister. The wind is too strong. Why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow during the day." A disciple suggested.
Yu Yuan felt that there was something wrong with the wind. It didn't blow in the morning or evening, but it happened to blow when it got dark.
She flew up and quickly used her spiritual sense to sense something. Suddenly, she sensed a demonic aura in the darkness.
"Oh no, be careful, this monster is all around us." Yuan Yu's face changed and he yelled immediately.
Unfortunately, it was too late. A black whirlwind with a smell of pig rushed towards the Lingxi Realm cultivators.
The black shadow was very fast, and the five disciples were not on guard and were knocked away by it in an instant.
"Ah..." Five disciples were knocked flying seven or eight feet high, their bones were shattered on the spot, and finally they fell heavily to the ground, screaming in agony.
"Damn it, this damn monster actually ambushed us?" Yu Yuan realized that they had fallen into a trap.
She immediately attacked the pig monster with her sword. When she got close to the pig monster, she found that it was a black-haired wild boar that was bigger than a buffalo.
The black-haired pig demon looked at Yu Yuan who was flying towards him with a murderous look in his eyes, and then charged forward without fear. Yu Yuan chopped the pig demon's head with a sword, but the pig demon's skull was too hard, and Yu Yuan was knocked flying.
"This? Such a powerful force! This must be a monster in the late stage of the Wheel of Sea Realm at least? The news is wrong." Yu Yuan turned around and ran. If she didn't run, she would die here. She couldn't take care of the five injured disciples.
However, the black-haired wild boar didn't seem to intend to let Yu Yuan go, and chased after him immediately.
Chapter 105: Pants Tiger
This pig demon was quite smart. Knowing that there were human monks looking for him, he deliberately led people to his territory, whetting their appetites and dragging them until dark.
The eyesight of wild beasts at night is much better than that of humans. If there were six cultivators in the Linghe realm, he would have run away long ago. But if there were six cultivators weaker than him, it would be a feast for him.
The flesh and blood of human monks are much more nutritious than the flesh and blood of mortals.
Yu Yuan tried to escape by flying sword, but on the way he took out the sect's communication token and prepared to send a distress message to the sect.
But at this moment, all the bristles on the pig demon's back stood up and shot towards the edge of the feathers in the sky like steel needles.
This large amount of pig hair almost covered the area where the feather edge was located.
"Damn it." Seeing this, Yu Yuan was forced to give up communication and use his strength to protect himself.
However, the attack power of this pig monster was too strong. Yu Yuan’s defense could not even last three breaths before it was pierced by the pig monster’s mane.
"Ah..." Yu Yuan let out a shrill scream and then fell from the sky.
She happened to fall off a cliff with a river at the bottom. Yu Yuan was immediately swept away by the rapids and her life or death was unknown for a while.
As for the pig demon, he might have thought that Yu Yuan was doomed. After all, it was basically impossible for a cultivator in the early Linghe realm to survive if he could withstand a blow from him in the late Lunhai realm.
Besides, he had just clearly seen that Yu Yuan had been pricked like a sieve by his own bristles.
So after observing for a while and seeing that no one got up from the bottom of the water, the pig demon returned to the previous battle area and prepared to enjoy the five injured disciples of the Yunxia Sect. This guy was not greedy.
I didn’t plan to go to the river to look for Yuyuan, mainly because it would be a waste of time.
