Chapter 2237 Tell Her
Chapter 2237 Tell Her
?
When Shu Jing heard this suggestion, her first reaction was: laughable and ridiculous.
Is this Chu Liuyue crazy? She actually wants to challenge a Supreme Physician as a Senior Physician? Does she think that a Settling Yuan Pill can be casually produced?
"Are you sure?" She stared at Chu Liuyue and said every word clearly, "There's only one chance. If you fail this time, you have to stick to your promise and not come to the medicinal mountain again. Can you do it?"
"I always stick to my words." Chu Liuyue smiled slightly. "After all, this medicinal mountain is your territory, Eighth Deity. If I lose today, I can't possibly come again in the future, right?"
This was true.
Shu Jing controlled the entire medicinal mountain, and she knew everything like the back of her hand, such as whoever entered the place and what kind of herbs they retrieved.
Chu Liuyue's suggestion did tempt her. If she could use this bet to exchange for peace, it was worth it.
No matter if it were the Chu Liuyue before her or that day's Xiao Ba, she did not like them both, especially after knowing that Zhen Bao Pavilion took a fancy for Chu Liuyue and was willing to support her. All sorts of dislike arose with a few additional hints of enmity.
She couldn't afford to offend Zhen Bao Pavilion. But since Chu Liuyue offered herself, what was there to hesitate?
Liang He listened from the side but furrowed his brows. After hesitating for a while, he still softly advised, "Miss Shangguan, why must you do this? I think we should just forget it."
However, Chu Liuyue's attitude was very insistent. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master Liang, but I don't need it. I came here today to take the dragon-taming nut."
If she wasn't allowed to take the dragon-taming nut, she would just produce the Settling Yuan Pill here and bring it out.
Liang He was hesitant with his words but finally shook his head helplessly.
He could finally tell that this bunch of people had pride in their bones. Since they could come to Fantasy Divine Palace, they were naturally elites—this was unquestionable.
However… the point was that they didn't even have bloodline totems! In this case, they didn't even have any advantages in Fantasy Divine Palace.
If it were someone else, they would have long sucked it up and accepted it, but this bunch… It was as if they did not notice what kind of situation they were in.
Qiang Wanzhou's words that day did influence him to some extent. Hence, when he faced Chu Liuyue now, he also felt that she was overly arrogant.
She really stubbornly insisted on her own ideas.
He hesitated for a moment and finally swallowed his remaining words.
…
The news of Chu Liuyue and Liang He competing to produce a pill quickly spread around. Quite a few people rushed over from all parts of the medicinal mountain to watch.
"Liang He is the youngest Supreme Physician in Fantasy Divine Palace, and even many famous Supreme Physicians don't dare to challenge him. What exactly is that Miss Shangguan thinking to go against him?"
"I heard that this has nothing much to do with Liang He. It was Shangguan Yue who wanted to take the dragon-taming nut, but Eighth Deity refused. Thus, Shangguan Yue directly wants to produce the Settling Yuan Pill here…"
"Settling Yuan Pill? Even Liang He hasn't successfully produced it before, right? Shangguan Yue dares to do this… Is she also a Supreme Physician?"
"No way! She personally told Eighth Deity that she just broke through to become a Senior Physician not long ago, so she is far from being a Supreme Physician!"
"Then, where did she get her confidence from?"
"We don't know either. Besides, I heard that if she can't succeed this time, she won't come to the medicinal mountain in the future. Eighth Deity agreed. I think there will be a show to watch…"
Chu Liuyue and Liang He stood facing each other on a smooth mountain peak.
Shu Jing stood at the side, and her gaze scanned Chu Liuyue's body. "I'll repeat it again: There will only be one chance. If you fail, the competition immediately ends."
This clearly meant that she felt Chu Liuyue would definitely fail first.
Chu Liuyue curled her lips into a smile. "Eighth Deity, even though I'm not a Supreme Physician yet, my hearing and memory are pretty good. You don't have to repeat some words."
Shu Jing's face faintly turned green.
However, quite a few people had surrounded them, and she couldn't release her temper. She coldly snorted in her heart and retracted her gaze.
Liang He looked over and helplessly shook his head; then, he took out a copper square cauldron.
That copper cauldron had three legs and two ears, and it was engraved with clouds and fiends, looking very stern.
This was actually a supreme Yuan instrument. Even though supreme Yuan instruments were common, cauldrons were rare.
Liang He originally had outstanding talent. With this cauldron as assistance, his rate of success would be greatly increased.
"Liang He rarely uses this cauldron. I think he's planning to be serious this time!"
"I hear that the Settling Yuan Pill is extremely hard to produce. Liang He can't be sure himself, right?"
"I want to see how Shangguan Yue plans on handling it. Her own standard is not enough—"
Bam!
A thought popped up in Chu Liuyue's mind as she directly summoned the Heavenly Square Cauldron.
The surrounding whispers instantly disappeared.
Even Shu Jing's gaze froze for a moment, and she looked unsure and shocked.
After a while, someone softly said, "That's… a holy weapon?"
"I think so? I heard that she has more than one holy weapon with her…"
"So she has such a trump card. No wonder she's so confident. But even with this holy weapon, it won't allow a Senior Physician to produce a Supreme Physician-level pill, right?"
"But maybe she won't lose so badly?"
Laughter erupted amidst the crowd.
…
Clearly, they did not think highly of Chu Liuyue.
However, Chu Liuyue didn't even care about this in the first place.
She thought, and a transparent karmic fire instantly burned in the Heavenly Square Cauldron! Then, she started putting the herbs in slowly.
Her movements were very smooth.
When Liang He saw this from the opposite side, he did not hesitate further and took action.
…
In the palace, Rong Xiu sat behind a desk and held a brush in one hand, writing something on a piece of paper.
Yu Mo kneeled on the floor on one knee. "…That's roughly what happened. Now, many people in Fantasy Divine Palace have already found out, and quite a few people went to join in the fun."
Rong Xiu's hand paused. "Settling Yuan Pill?"
"Yes." Yu Mo sweated secretly. That person just broke through to become a Senior Physician not long ago, and she wants to try producing a Supreme Physician-level pill now. Won't she clearly lose? I really don't know what exactly that Shu Jing is thinking, to even refuse to give some dragon-taming nuts. Isn't she causing trouble for herself?
Noticing that Rong Xiu fell silent again, Yu Mo quickly looked up, braved himself, and asked, "Master, should I ask someone to send the dragon-taming nuts over?"
"There's no need." Rong Xiu continued writing.
They probably wouldn't make it in time, and there was not much meaning in sending them over.
Yu Mo fell silent again.
In the large hall, other than the sound of the brush gliding against the paper, there was no other sound.
Yu Mo felt cold for some reason, and he silently looked up. Master is… angry? That's true. Shu Jing did this without much senses.
He thought and asked, "Master, why don't… I find someone to talk to Shu Jing?"
After a moment, Rong Xiu finally stopped. He looked over, and there was dark coldness in his phoenix-like eyes. "Tell her that if she doesn't want her Eighth Deity position, there are many people who can replace her."
