F{h*F 5"( V hapter 95: The Battle for the Crown (Part 1)
Everyone was unaware of what this name represented; however, the three elders in front had all sharply inhaled a breath of cold air. They should have guessed that this man in the black robe was no ordinary person; he turned out to be that person’s proud student.
“What’s the matter? Does this name surprise you that much? Or do you want to drive me out?” Ling Ye said with a cold smile, his eyes under the black robe filled with a mocking smile, “Unfortunately, I haven’t broken the rules, and you don’t have the power to cancel my qualification. I, Ling Ye, have decided on this championship.”
He did not particularly like the Elixir industry, hence he hadn’t put much effort into studying it, but even so, defeating these so-called geniuses was not a difficult task. Wouldn’t it just be too boring otherwise? Since he was here to stir up trouble, he might as well do it thoroughly and let these people understand that his master’s Disciple was not weak.
Elder Huo and Elder He exchanged wry smiles. If the champion of this competition were indeed to be won by that person’s Disciple, it would likely mean they, the elders, would lose all face.
After all, it was they who had expelled that person from the Alchemy Conference.
Just as they were feeling desperate, they saw Mu Ruyue, who had previously stood still without any action, walking up to the Pill Furnace, squinting at her pile of herbs, and then slowly placing her hand above the ingredients…
“Could it be that she also wants to use Qi Nourishing Medicine like that man called Ling Ye?”
“How could everyone know this legendary technique?”
“Maybe she just wants to give it a try…”
When the crowd saw Mu Ruyue’s actions, they all began to laugh.
Ling Ye frowned slightly, his lips curving into a cold smile underneath his black robe. His gaze was fixed on the girl, a trace of mocking in his eyes.
However, for Elder Huo and the others, their eyes lit up; perhaps this girl could truly bring about a miracle…
And a miracle there was.
The instant Mu Ruyue’s hand touched the herbs, the wilted ingredients emitted a faint glow, each one bursting with vitality, and compared to before, had clearly grown more than an inch in size.
Those who had just laughed at her were stunned, their eyes widening in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
“A miracle, this is a miracle, ha ha ha!” Elder Huo laughed heartily, his heart unspeakably thrilled, longing to laugh proudly up at the sky, “Ling Ye, what do you think? It’s not only you who can use Qi Nourishing Medicine here. Moreover, her ingredients seem to have grown a lot… eh, a lot?”
Elder Huo opened his mouth wide in astonishment, only now realizing that the herb had indeed grown significantly.
What was previously merely fifty-year-old ingredients had turned into hundred-year-old ones in an instant? Was this… a monster? How could Qi Nourishing Medicine have such an effect?
“Who exactly is the master of this monster? If it’s some Alchemy Master less famous than me, I might still be able to negotiate with them and take this Disciple under my wing.”
Elder Huo’s eyes began to twinkle; such an excellent prospect was right in front of him, and it would be like cutting at his own heart to take no action.
Ling Ye’s face turned ashen, his eyes narrowing slightly, a trace of cold light flickering through the depths of his gaze.
This method of Qi Nourishing Medicine was something his master had learned from an ancient book; he hadn’t expected that someone here would possess this technique. It seemed he had underestimated the organizers of this Alchemy Conference.
Regardless, the championship of the Alchemy Conference was his to win.
“Since there are only two people who can compete, the championship will be contested between you.”
