Chapter 2009 - 1998: A Look of Disdain
Later, those elders turned their gaze towards Ao Cangsheng.
At this time, there was less than a quarter of an hour left until the end of the hour.
Seeing that Ao Cangsheng was still there, the elders immediately showed a look of disdain.
"At this moment, this child is still struggling. How ridiculous!"
"He’s just pretending to be calm. In fact, he’s already panicking!"
"The four-legged pill is Yun Chi’s highest realm. Even if you give him another hour of alchemy, he still can’t beat Yun Chi."
"Such a mysterious boy is really interesting!"
As the time approached, those Yun elders began to despise the opponent. It seemed that no one was optimistic about Ao Cangsheng anymore.
At this time, Nangong Mengyu’s heart was about to sink to the bottom.
Seeing that an hour was about to pass and Ao Cangsheng was still creating a pill, Nangong Meng was on the verge of tears.
"Ding—"
However, at this moment, a clear iron collision sound suddenly rang out in the hall.
Then, I saw Ao Cangsheng’s pill exposed, it was instantly released.
"Just a second to the hour. Oh my, you cut it close, you’re pressed for time!"
Yun Chi smiled faintly, looking at Ao Cangsheng and said casually.
Although his words had no intention of despising Ao Cangsheng at all, anyone could hear the contempt in Yun Chi’s speech.
Regarding Yun Chi’s sarcastic words, Nangong Mengyu wanted to respond but couldn’t find the right words for a moment.
However, Ao Cangsheng looked at all the elders indifferently, gently waved his hand, and said, "As long as I don’t go overtime, it doesn’t matter how I make the pill!"
Rather than addressing the elders, it was more directed at Yun Chi.
As soon as the words fell, a red pill had already shattered the furnace and quietly floated in the air.
Looking at the color of the pill. As good as Yun Chi’s pill.
As for the aroma of the pill, it was slightly less than the cloud.
"Stop talking nonsense. Since the pill is out, I’ll take it to see Elder Mu Xu."
"There are so many people waiting for you. As a third-year student, you can laugh!"
Ao Cangsheng’s words immediately drew Yun Chi’s dissatisfaction.
As Ao Cangsheng’s senior, Yun Chi immediately reprimanded Ao Cangsheng.
"If I remember correctly, you set the one-hour time frame."
"Now that I completed the alchemy within one hour, it seems there’s no problem!"
Ao Cangsheng sneered coldly, staring at Yun Chi.
"You’re right, but..."
"But what? Since that’s the case, what are you still saying? More importantly, you have no excuse, yet the younger generation has put you on the spot again. Are you really going to disregard your seniors?"
In the end, Ao Cangsheng’s words suddenly became aggressive.
"You..."
He was rebuked by Ao Cangsheng in front of everyone, standing late, and Yun was also very angry.
But before he had time to attack, Ao Cangsheng waved the pill politely and walked towards Elder Mu Xu, leaving Yun Chi aside.
"Damn it!"
Yun Chi glared furiously at Ao Cangsheng’s back, but could only curse him inwardly.
"I’ll see if you can still be so arrogant when you’re kicked out of the Purple Flower Hall!"
Ultimately, Yun Chi could only comfort himself inwardly.
At the top of the hall, all the elders expressed dissatisfaction with Ao Cangsheng’s actions.
Only Nangong Mengyu stood aside, giving Ao Cangsheng a thumbs up.
"Senior, please assess the pill!"
Approaching Mu Xu, Ao Cangsheng raised his hand, presenting the pill.
"Excellent! I’m also looking forward to your pill’s quality!"
Mu Xu smiled, then gently observed the pill.
However, when Mu Xu’s eyes met the pill, he couldn’t help but pause.
At this moment, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Mu Xu, waiting for him to judge Ao Cangsheng.
"Oh dear!"
But just at this moment, Mu Xu sighed.
At the same time, his eyebrows furrowed.
Seeing this scene, Yun Chi suddenly felt an inexplicable tension.
"Elder Mu Xu, is this pill qualified?"
Old Peng heard Mu Xu’s strange voice, furrowed his brows, and asked with a smile.
"Qualified?"
Mu Xu raised his eyes, glanced at Old Peng, and suddenly sneered.
"Is this pill not qualified?"
Old Peng’s brows furrowed further, though his heart was suddenly filled with joy.
"Not qualified?"
Mu Xu sneered again, but his expression became more exaggerated.
Just like that, Peng was completely confused.
As for the other elders, seeing Mu Xu’s mysterious expression, they couldn’t help but mutter among themselves.
"Master, is this child’s immortality elixir good?"
Enduring the suspense, Yun Chi suddenly couldn’t help but catch up to him.
Mu Xu laughed heartily and then spat out a sentence: "I don’t know, but I know this pill is better than yours!"
"Wow—"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience stirred.
Mu Xu might not give face to Yun Chi, but he couldn’t refute Old Peng.
Now, staring blankly, he scanned the elders, "This pill is second-class, five feet. Do you have any issues with that?"
Upon hearing these words, all the present Yun elders showed shock on their faces, even Nangong Mengyu’s father and daughter expressed astonishment.
No one expected that in the creation of an Osmanthus Pill, someone could surpass Yun Chi.
No one thought that the person who was better than Yun Chi would be a wet-behind-the-ears child.
"Why, do you have any issues with my evaluation?"
Seeing the crowd unresponsive, Mu Xu seemed suddenly dissatisfied.
"No, no, no, of course, we have no doubts about the senior’s assessment."
"We just find it a bit strange that a child at such an age can create such a pill!"
Old Peng replied, laughing.
Mu Xu coldly chuckled, sarcastically saying: "It’s laughable to say someone’s unattractive, but you must measure the sea’s depth first!"
"Alright, according to Elder Mu Xu, this round of competition favors the child. In that case, he wins the match."
Old Peng didn’t mind Mu Xu’s satire, he said dryly, laughing.
"What do you mean? Truthfully, this competition itself is the child’s victory!"
Nangong Mengyu gave Old Peng a white look, voicing dissatisfaction.
"In the second round, Yu Daoyuan will compete against the boy!"
After a meal, Old Peng directly announced the candidate for the second round.
Upon hearing it, Yu Daoyuan immediately showed a trace of satisfaction, smiled, and said to Yun Chi: "Brother Yun, don’t be discouraged. Even though you lost, don’t worry. I’ll teach that kid a lesson today!"
After finishing, Yu Daoyuan walked away swaggeringly.
Leaving only the angered Yun Chi behind, wishing he could strike Yu Daoyuan to the ground.
He suffered greatly, but as a senior, especially in front of Yu Daoyuan, what could he say?
Moreover, Yu Daoyuan’s words were obviously mixed with arrogance and mockery. How could Yun Chi not be angry?
At this moment, Yun Chi’s hatred for Yu Daoyuan seemed to surpass that for Ao Cangsheng.
Although he didn’t speak outwardly, inwardly he was secretly cursing Yu Daoyuan, hoping he’d be defeated by Ao Cangsheng.
"Don’t be complacent, kid. You defeating Brother Yun doesn’t mean you can beat me."
"Since this competition is between you and me, you should open your eyes and see how I teach you a lesson!"
Yu Daoyuan arrogantly approached Ao Cangsheng, his tone extremely smug.
"Humph!"
Ao Cangsheng ignored Yu Daoyuan, merely raising his face to sneer before directly turning away.
"Let’s begin!"
At this moment, Old Peng’s voice sounded coldly.
Ao Cangsheng winning a match not only worsened Peng Yuyan’s mood but also left him feeling half-hearted.
Yun Chi couldn’t defeat Ao Cangsheng. It was difficult for Peng to count on Yu Daoyuan to defeat Ao Cangsheng.
"We’ll refine the second product, the Purple Wei Pill this time. Only half an hour!"
Upon hearing Old Peng’s voice, Yu Daoyuan suddenly said coldly.
In front of him lay a pill furnace, a pile of pill materials, and a heap of fire.
