"The rules are very simple. Within the specified time, two people refine a pill at the same time. Whoever refines the pill with the higher quality will win. As for what pill to refine, it's up to you. After all, the person you are competing with in the pill refining competition is from the Alchemy Pavilion, and their level is not much different. I'll keep it a secret here, and you'll know who it is in a while." Chu Yu had a mean look on his face, and anyone who saw him would have the urge to beat him up.

Although the rules and content of the alchemy competition sound simple, the whole process from the time she and Rong Zhao stepped into the Wuxin Peak cafeteria to the time Chu Yu appeared on the scene was only half an hour. It was unknown whether the alchemy competition was really something that Sect Master Chu Yu came up with on the spur of the moment. Lin Qingqing was deeply puzzled by this. She always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it. After all, in her impression, she and Chu Yu had no vested interest in each other. He couldn't be targeting her deliberately just because she was Murong Li's apprentice, right?

Rong Zhao also felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, it was unacceptable for a clan leader to interfere in other people's private affairs without reason, especially when Murong Li looked like he was ready to get angry at any time, but clan leader Chu Yu dared to make suggestions. Wasn't this like plucking hair from a tiger? Rong Zhao felt that Uncle Murong was about to break his microcosm in the next second.

"You are not allowed to participate!"

as predicted!

Five pairs of eyes immediately fell on Murong Li, and he said angrily: "This is a matter between us, master and disciple, and it has nothing to do with you! Disciple, let's go. If we have anything to say, we can go back and talk in detail. Why do we have to stay here and be watched like monkeys?"

Murong Li did what he said. He strode towards Lin Qingqing, grabbed her sleeve and wanted to leave, but Chu Yu flew over and stopped him.

"Murong, why are you so angry? Young people nowadays have their own ideas. We old antiques shouldn't interfere too much. Besides, I haven't even mentioned the prize yet. Maybe your dear disciple will be tempted. Why don't you listen to him before deciding whether to go or not?"

When it came to whether to leave or not, Chu Yu quietly shifted his gaze to Lin Qingqing, as if he knew what she was thinking and deliberately lured her into the game.

Rong Zhao frowned slightly, and felt that the sect leader's behavior was a little strange. In his peripheral vision, he saw a familiar figure. Could it be that the person being challenged was her? How could this be possible?

Murong Li did not answer him, but let go of Lin Qingqing's sleeve, and then looked at her steadily. He seemed to want Lin Qingqing to make a choice, to choose her master, or to choose the prize of the alchemy competition?

Because of this, Lin Qingqing just felt a headache. It was another multiple-choice question. Why is it that life always requires making choices?

Moreover, she had a bad feeling in her heart that the alchemy competition seemed to be aimed at her. She just didn't know what the other party's purpose was, and the person behind her would not let her choose the first option easily. If she didn't believe it, why not give it a try?

Just try it!

Lin Qingqing silently scanned the entire place, then followed Murong Li and said, "Master, let's go!"

They had just taken two steps when they heard someone calling her from behind.

Look, here it comes!

Lin Qingqing looked back, and her foot that was about to move forward suddenly stopped in mid-air. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she asked tentatively: "Ban, Xia?"

"Qingqing, you can make pills, right? Come and compete with me!" Banxia slowly approached from a distance.

"Why you?" Lin Qingqing's face changed and turned as cold as ice.

"The lucky draw is exactly what I urgently need. You know, which alchemist doesn't lack materials and spirit stones? Am I right?" Banxia asked back.

"If I don't compete with you, what can you do to me?" Lin Qingqing and Banxia stood face to face.

Banxia just stood there quietly for a long time, with a strange expression on her face. When Lin Qingqing was about to lose her patience, she slowly said, "It's nothing, I'll just be kicked out of the Tianjian Sect. If we are friends, then you can just consider it as helping me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qingqing clenched her hands and turned to Chu Yu, her face solemn and inevitably a little resentful. She tried her best to control her emotions, her mouth opened and closed, and every word was very clear: "Master, has the rule of the Tianjian Sect always been like this? Even betting on the future of disciples?"

At this moment, no one could fail to hear the anger in her tone.

With a "pop" sound, the folding fan was opened again, blocking Chu Yu's face, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.

"No, on the contrary, this is a competition she requested." Seeing that several people turned their attention to him again, Chu Yu moved the folding fan away, played with it casually, and said nonchalantly, "A few days ago, someone stole the elders' token and sneaked into the seventh floor of the library and was caught on the spot. Murong and Qingcang should know the consequences of breaking into the forbidden area of ​​the library without permission. As for who I am talking about, you should all know. I am just giving her a chance."

After a moment's silence, Lin Qingqing tilted her head, her eyes met Banxia's, and she asked, "Is what the Sect Master said true?"

Banxia nodded silently with a slightly guilty look in her eyes.

"Master, there is something that I don't understand." Although this reason sounds far-fetched, it is not impossible. But why should Chu Yu give her a chance?

"But it doesn't matter."

"Why do you insist on letting me participate in this alchemy competition?" Lin Qingqing stopped beating around the bush and directly asked the question that concerned her most.

“Hahaha, your master should be able to answer this question for you.” Chu Yu looked at Murong Li leisurely.

Seeing Chu Yu's frivolous smile, Murong Li understood and secretly cursed him for being shameless! He was the only one in the cultivation world who dared to set his sights on a little girl. Thinking back to the Dinghai Divine Pearl he had obtained some time ago, Murong Li felt that Chu Yu had the nerve to criticize others but not himself! He was so shameless!

Thinking of this, Murong Li suddenly felt unhappy. He turned his head away angrily and didn't look at him, muttering quietly: "Despicable and shameless."

Seeing that Murong Li didn't say anything, Chu Yu had to answer Lin Qingqing's question himself and said, "How about listening to the prizes of the alchemy competition? You will naturally understand."

Although Lin Qingqing couldn't understand Chu Yu's roundabout behavior, she still nodded in cooperation.

"If you win the alchemy competition, you can use the highest-level alchemy room in the alchemy pavilion at will, and you can take any first-level spiritual herbs in the sect. In addition, you will be given 100 second-level spiritual herbs and 50 third-level spiritual herbs. How about this? For an alchemist, this prize is very tempting, right?"

"What if I lose?" Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows.

"If you lose, I want the long sword you carry with you." Chu Yu changed his playful look and said seriously.
