Wei Xiaobao opened the system warehouse again and took out the Qi-refining pills made by Xu Fu and Li Cheng.

After placing the three Qi-refining pills together and observing them carefully, he found that in terms of glossiness, the pill refined by Xu Fu had relatively poor glossiness due to its age; while Li Sun's was slightly inferior; in comparison, the Qi-refining pill refined by himself had the most dazzling gloss, and could even clearly reflect a person's figure.

Comparing in terms of roundness, Lee Sun's pills appear to be rougher and less refined; while his own pills are the most round in appearance, giving people a feeling of fullness and richness.

Finally, judging from the smell, Yi Sun's elixir exudes a strong medicinal aroma, indicating that its medicinal effect is gradually dissipating; Xu Fu's elixir is second, although it has a history of more than 2,000 years, it has been placed in a sealed porcelain bottle, so the medicinal effect has been well preserved.

However, when Wei Xiaobao smelled the Qi-refining pill he had made, it did not smell like medicine at all, but instead gave off the aroma of ginseng stewed chicken soup.

He knew in his heart that this was because he had used this alchemy furnace as a soup pot, so it was inevitable that some of the flavor of ginseng chicken soup would remain.

But the question is, since this pill has no medicinal taste, is its quality really reliable? Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. In the end, he decided to try it himself, and took the Qi Refining Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

At this moment, a huge amount of spiritual energy suddenly poured into his body like a flood. The quality of this spiritual energy was much purer than any spiritual energy he had absorbed before, and its quantity was twice as much as Xu Fu's Qi Refining Pill! It was even three times more than Li Cheng's spiritual energy!

Faced with such surging spiritual energy, Wei Xiaobao did not dare to slack off at all. He hurriedly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and quickly practiced the "Nine Turns of Divine Movement", trying his best to refine the endless spiritual energy in his body.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long period of effort, Wei Xiaobao finally refined all the spiritual energy.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that his cultivation had actually improved. Although it was only a very slight improvement, it was a real improvement.

This made Wei Xiaobao extremely excited, because before this, unless he was in a specific environment, eating Qi Refining Pills had almost no effect on him.

However, now, the Qi-refining pills he made could bring in purer and larger amounts of spiritual energy, which really helped his cultivation.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was exceptionally clear. Wei Xiaobao, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao came to Changdeokgung Palace, where there was a huge crowd and it was very lively. Because today was the day of the finals of the martial arts competition, it was also the most critical moment of the entire event. Wei Xiaobao and Ling Zhao would also appear on the main stage as award presenters to witness this grand competition.

After entering the palace, they saw that a spectacular viewing platform had been built in the square, and below the platform was a spacious arena. In contrast, the other arenas had been demolished overnight, leaving only this final stage for the contestants to compete.

At this moment, Suzong Wang Li Yun was already sitting on the viewing platform, with a serious expression. There were not many guests on the platform, and those who were related to the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to go up to the viewing platform. However, Galdan was there, looking around and waiting for Wei Xiaobao to appear.

Not long after, a Korean eunuch came forward and took Wei Xiaobao, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao to the viewing platform. Wei Xiaobao smiled and gestured to everyone, then found a seat and sat down, looking forward to the exciting game to come.

When King Sukjong Lee Sun saw Commander Wei arrive, he stood up reluctantly, forced a smile on his face and said, "Your Excellency Commander Wei, Your Majesty the Emperor, please take a seat, the horse race is about to begin."

Seeing that King Sukjong was finally able to talk to him like a normal person, Wei Xiaobao no longer cared about his previous arrogance and rudeness, and responded with a smile: "I haven't congratulated King Sukjong on his ascension to the throne yet, congratulations to you!" After saying that, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Li Yun.

"Commander Wei, you are too polite. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality we received in Goryeo!" Li Yun said quickly.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Wei Xiaobao responded quickly.

"My Goryeo has already joined your country. Commander Wei, please take good care of us in the future." Li Yun continued.

"We are all family, no problem, no problem!" Wei Xiaobao replied with a smile.

At this moment, three deafening drum beats were heard from the ring. Then, a Taoist priest from Zhaoge Temple walked onto the ring with steady steps and solemnly announced: "Dear fellow martial artists, the finals of the martial arts competition are now officially starting!"

There was a sudden burst of warm cheers from the audience and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

The Taoist priest continued to shout loudly: "First, please invite the six finalists to come on stage! The first one to come on stage is Lu Siniang from the Iron Sword Sect..."

Hearing the familiar name of Lu Siniang, Wei Xiaobao, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao were very excited and clapped their hands vigorously to express their welcome. The audience in the audience was not to be outdone and also cheered and applauded.

"The second person to appear is Li Ziguang, a disciple of Kongtong Sect..." Following the Taoist introduction, Li Ziguang stepped onto the stage with confidence and saluted to the audience.

"The third person to appear is Zhang Jianfeng from the Huashan School..." Zhang Jianfeng was agile and jumped onto the stage, showing the style of the Huashan School.

"The fourth person to appear is Taoist Master Daoning from Zhaoge Temple..." When Taoist Master Daoning stepped onto the stage, the whole audience burst into thunderous cheers. After all, this was the territory of Zhaoge Temple, and Daoning was a leader among the younger generation of Goryeo martial arts, and he attracted much attention.

"The fifth person to appear is the Japanese Shinto warrior Koizumi Ichiro..."

When Ling Zhao heard that there were Japanese warriors participating in the competition, he immediately became excited, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted in Japanese at the top of his voice: "Koizumi-kun, come on!"

At this moment, Koizumi, who had just walked onto the stage, happened to be facing the main stage. He saw the emperor of his country sitting there at a glance, and heard the emperor personally cheering for him.

Instantly, an uncontrollable excitement surged in his heart. He knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed three times to Ling Zhao to express his deepest respect and gratitude.

However, this scene made Li Yun jealous. He turned around and whispered to Cui Jingwen, the left political advisor, who was standing behind him: "Look at the quality of the Japanese people. It's really enviable!"

Facing Li Yun's words, Cui Jingwen felt helpless. He really didn't know how to respond to the king. After all, in this situation, silence might be the best choice.

"The sixth person to appear is Xu Xueting from the Shenlong Sect..." As the host's announcement sounded again, everyone's eyes turned to the new contestant.
