"You won't be able to win the third round either!" Bai Ruyue turned her head to look at Mu Furong.

Bai Ruyue already didn't want to bother with her anymore, because even if Mu Furong won in the third round, it would still be two to one. This competition was completely meaningless, as she, Bai Ruyue, would still be the winner!

But Mu Furong shouted, "We must compete in the third round! The reason why you won the first two rounds was because I thought that you were a true Tier 1 Pill Refiner. However, the potential you displayed wasn't inferior to mine at all! Only by competing in the third round will it be considered fair! "

"Mu Furong, don't pester me!" Han Yu angrily rebuked Mu Furong, but at this time, Bai Ruyue spoke up: "What do you plan on comparing me with in the third round, that's what you think is fair?"

Mu Furong breathed heavily, "Whose Pill Palace is stronger than mine!"

"Pfft!"

"Cough, cough!"

In a split-second, many people who were shocked and choked appeared in the surroundings – they had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen such a shameless person before!

A dignified seventh-grade apothecary, the granddaughter of the Great Elder, and a high and mighty goddess of the Pill Sect actually wanted to compete with a first-grade apothecary in the Pill Palace?

How shameless could he be, how shameless could he be to say such words!

At this moment, not to mention Han Yu who was shocked speechless, even the spectators looked at Mu Furong in disbelief.

Some of their eyes expressed astonishment. Some were surprised that they had heard wrong, or that Mu Furong's head had broken down.

Some expressed their contempt, despising the fact that a high and cold goddess was thus inferior to even a village nun!

Some felt that it was unbelievable, they were curious as to how Mu Furong could so shamelessly propose this competition.

But in everyone's astonishment, they were even more unable to accept Bai Ruyue's reaction. She actually sighed and said, "If you really want to compete in this, then I'll satisfy you!"

"Hua …"

Everyone was going crazy.

They could not understand the situation the two of them were in, but Han Yu angrily shouted: "What are you talking about? Competing in Pill Palace? How do we compare? Could it be that when Pill Palace is competed, the weaker one will perish in the Pill Road from now on? "

"If Elder Sister Mu insists on killing one of us, I can only accompany him to the end." Bai Ruyue's expression was still cold.

Mu Furong clenched her teeth and was about to speak, when Second Elder's voice floated over: "How can we allow such a moment of destruction within the Pill Sect!"

Everyone pushed her away when they heard the noise. For the first time, the cold jade had a look of joy in her eyes — it was as if she had found her savior.

He anxiously stepped forward and wanted to explain what had happened, but Second Elder held his arm down, "I was here when Bai Ruyue was concocting the pill. I can see everything clearly."

When he finished speaking, he took two steps forward and walked in front of the two of them. He looked at Bai Ruyue, then looked at Mu Furong, and spoke to him.

Mu Furong gritted her teeth and nodded, "That's right!"

"You are Grand Elder's granddaughter, and also one of the pillars that stands at the very top of my Cloud Sea Division. Do you really plan to go head to head with a first rank alchemist like this?"

"I don't have her, I don't have her!" Mu Furong's eyes were filled with absolute hatred.

Second Elder nodded and looked at Bai Ruyue: "Do you also want to compete?"

"Second Elder, Ruyue isn't the type of person who causes trouble, and Ruyue doesn't wish to cause such a ruckus either. But Ruyue has never been afraid of matters since she was young, if Elder Sister Mu insists on it, I won't reject it!"

She was not in trouble, but she was not afraid!

This Mu Furong actually dared to harm her, and wanted to harm her.

She, Bai Ruyue, was definitely not someone anyone could bully!

"Alright, since you guys insist on competing in Pill Palace, then I won't stop you. I will be the witness and arbiter for this round!" When Second Elder's voice fell, Han Yu immediately rushed forward:

"Second Elder! How can you agree? Elder Sister Mu and Little Junior Sister are the hope of our Cloud Sea Division, so even if you do something rash, it would be equivalent to destroying our Cloud Sea Division. I object, I, I want to go find Grand Elder! "

Han Yu immediately glared at her, not caring at all about her status as an elder.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the two of them. I won't let their Pill Palace fight to the death with one another, as long as I look at whose Pill Palace is stronger, I can determine who will win."

At this time, Bai Ruyue glanced at Second Elder.

She was not afraid of Pill Palace competition, because her Pill Palace was very strong. However, if her Pill Palace was revealed to people she could not trust, it might bring about a fatal disaster!

Even though the inside of her Pill Palace looked simple and crude, it was a dilapidated palace!

A palace! It was a city, a colossus, and even more accurately, it was a ruin situated in the middle of a desert!

Even if an ordinary person had extraordinary talent, they would still possess a palace-like Pill Palace.

Could there be such a large space to create a bigger and better Pill Palace?

If this kind of Pill Palace was exposed, she would not be able to thrive and grow in the future, and would instead be killed by the strength of powerhouses. For example, for demi-humans, who would want to see one more powerful human being?

"Second Elder is willing to act as the arbiter to determine victory or defeat for us and avoid losing blood and sacrifices. Ruyue is very grateful, but Ruyue does not want others to know about the situation of our Pill Palace, so as to prevent others from breaking their lips or divulging everything, and to leave behind hidden dangers in their confrontation of Dandong!"

Bai Ruyue quickly found an excuse, suggesting the importance of keeping it a secret.

The Second Elder nodded his head immediately: "You are right, with the competition of Dandong near at hand, all sorts of invisible methods will not appear. It is only right to be cautious, how about this, I swear with my heart, I won't reveal the feelings between you two, and will only determine who is the strongest!"

Bai Ruyue nodded in relief upon hearing this, but Mu Furong did not object.

Therefore, Second Elder extended his hand out, grabbed a person's arm at the same time and started channeling his divine sense into the two people's Pill Palace.

After a moment, his expression turned into one of shock as if he had been struck by lightning. Then a moment later, it turned into surprise and a moment later, a frown appeared on his face.

When everyone saw the change in Second Elder's expression, they were inexplicably excited. Previously, they didn't even need to think to know that the victor would be Mu Furong, but looking at Second Elder's expression, there seemed to be a variable.

After around fifteen minutes, Second Elder released the two people's hands. He did not say anything, but instead took out a Kernels and wiped the sweat off his forehead and the back of his neck.

"In terms of Pill Palace, the winner is Bai Ruyue!"

"What?" "That's impossible!" Mu Furong did not believe what she had heard and shouted, but Second Elder had actually looked at her and said, "If I am to lie, then let my core collapse and my Pill Palace collapse!"

How could there be any doubt when such harsh words were spoken?

At that moment, Mu Furong's body swayed and fell back onto the ground. She had already become the one and only person who had lost three rounds in a row, she could not accept it and fainted.
