The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 216: Full Attention

Neither Xuening nor Su Jingzhen could guarantee that they could refine a superior-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

So, he started early and refined multiple times, increasing the chances of success.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Su Jingzhen.

When they saw the medicinal materials he took out, which were vastly different from Xuening’s, they were astonished once again.

Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang, sitting on the judging platform, also had a hint of surprise in their expressions.

“That kid has some potential. I think he’s trying to refine a Breaking Through Adversity Pill with these medicinal materials. But it’s not like it has any competitiveness in the second round.”

Yao Changsheng and the others had a keen eye, and from the medicinal materials Su Jingzhen took out, they could already tell what kind of pill he was trying to refine.

When Vice President Ouyang heard Yao Changsheng’s words, he raised an eyebrow.

“Let’s wait and see. That little girl earlier already gave us a surprise. And I have a feeling that she didn’t use her full strength. As her assistant, he shouldn’t be an ordinary person. Who knows, this kid might also give us a surprise.”

As Vice President Ouyang spoke, there was a hint of expectation in his small eyes.

While Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang were chatting casually, the surrounding cultivators and alchemists in the audience also realized what kind of pill Su Jingzhen was trying to refine.

When they found out that he was only refining a second-grade pill, most people lost interest.

“I thought he deliberately took out such a high-quality furnace to refine some extraordinary pill. It seems he just wants to show off his skills.”

“Hehe, this is understandable. Although the little girl brought by Feng Qingya has decent alchemy skills, she’s only a third-grade alchemist after all. It’s too difficult to enter the top three. If this kid can show off his strength now, he might be noticed by some forces and invited as a guest elder or something.”

“It’s likely. If he truly has second-grade strength, many forces would be willing to recruit him.”

“…”

Yunmeng City was too far from Linjiang City, and the events that happened in Linjiang City might not have reached Yunmeng City.

But most forces probably didn’t care about it.

So, most people in the audience didn’t know about Su Jingzhen’s identity as the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch.

Many who knew about this matter didn’t recognize the Su Jingzhen in front of them.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s actions, Feng Qingya’s expression also had a hint of surprise.

“Could it be that Master Su also wants to try refining a superior-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill? The pressure on them is really that great? But… can Master Su succeed?”

In all the pills Feng Qingya had seen Su Jingzhen refine, the best one was only a superior-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

She couldn’t help but feel anxious and expectant.

After all, she always thought that even if a superior-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill was going to be used as a trump card, it would be Xuening who would operate it.

Her heart was filled with worry, but her face remained calm.

Not far from her, Bai Susu’s eyebrows furrowed again.

When Feng Qingya had provided the medicinal materials earlier, she had mentioned the superior-quality pill.

“Could it be… that this guy is the one refining the superior-quality pill? Or is he Feng Qingya’s last trump card?”

Thinking of this, Bai Susu’s mouth curled up into a bitter smile again: “If he really succeeds, then I’ll have to apologize this time.”

“What’s wrong?” Tuoba Junlin asked, seeing Bai Susu’s cold face suddenly smile.

Bai Susu shook her head: “Nothing, I just thought of something interesting. This time, things might not go as expected, and there might be some unexpected surprises.”

“Surprise?” Tuoba Junlin asked, becoming more curious.

Bai Susu’s mouth curled up again, but she didn’t answer.

The discussions below didn’t seem to affect Su Jingzhen, who had already entered a state of focus.

He had activated Black Mountain, and his mind was completely immersed in the true essence of alchemy.

He still remembered the principles of Dan Heart taught by Dantai Mingjing.

After a moment, Su Jingzhen had adjusted his state to its best.

Then, he began to operate according to the refining method of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

He had refined the Breaking Through Adversity Pill too many times, and it was all too familiar to him.

“This technique is very skilled. He’s probably stronger than many second-grade alchemists on the scene.”

“He’s indeed a talented person!”

“…”

Su Jingzhen had just started operating, and many forces had already taken notice of him.

Many leaders had begun to thoroughly investigate Su Jingzhen’s background.

The Breaking Through Adversity Pill was only a second-grade pill, and Su Jingzhen was extremely familiar with it.

So, while others were still in the process of fusion or even refining the medicinal materials, Su Jingzhen’s Breaking Through Adversity Pill in the Black Mountain furnace had already taken shape, emitting a faint, sweet fragrance.

As he controlled the pill, he also controlled the flames, letting them engulf the pill in intense heat.

Until the pill’s surface was completely rounded, he lightly tapped the furnace, and the pill flew out.

Su Jingzhen caught the pill in one hand.

He took a look, and his eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

Because this pill had only reached the level of a top-quality pill, still short of the superior-quality pill he desired.

A top-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill had no competitiveness in the second round.

He had dozens of superior-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pills in his storage ring, but he couldn’t replace them under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Moreover, he believed that if Xuening could refine a superior-quality pill, he could also do it without relying on that strange land.

“Everything seemed perfect just now.”

“But where did I go wrong?”

Su Jingzhen stood still, lightly closing his eyes.

His mind replayed the details of refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

“What is he doing?”

“Is he meditating? This is interesting.”

“…”

After Su Jingzhen successfully refined the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, the crowd no longer had any ridicule.

They were only curious about what he would do next.

As the crowd waited, Su Jingzhen didn’t close his eyes for too long.

He soon reignited the flames in the Black Mountain furnace.

He took out another set of Breaking Through Adversity Pill medicinal materials, his face expressionless, his heart calm to the extreme.

In an instant, he entered that state of refining again.

“Huh?”

“Is he going to refine another one?”
