After the competition in the heavenly doctor arena started, the Armory Refinement Masters and the Xuan Masters slowly entered their respective arenas.
Jin Yunlai was naturally sent out to accept the Xuan Master challenges one by one.
As for the Armory Refinement Master side, unexpectedly, nobody came out after a long time.
After some waiting, the deities exchanged glances.
The other cultivators looked confused.
At this point, Mu Qinghe’s voice sounded. “Xi Yan will come slightly later. The competition will go on first.”
Upon hearing this, quite a few people’s expressions changed slightly. They then recalled that the Tenth Deity, Xi Yan, hadn’t come out for some time.
Outsiders did not know, but Yu Qian and the rest knew that Yu Qian was locked in the Fantasy Divine Sea with Jiu Long. Originally, they thought that First Deity would release them in advance, but they did not expect him to wait until now.
But since he said so, the person should be coming.
Someone couldn’t help but softly mutter, “The lightning pool is already sealed. I’m afraid we can’t guide the lightning to nourish the Yuan instruments. What should we do?”
This was actually what they were most worried about.
Once this was said, Mu Qinghe whipped his sleeves!
Many lightning bolts rapidly flew out! Then, they landed in the Holy Jade of Chaos!
The middle concave part was actually filled with silver lightning bolts!
The silver snake-like force swam within. One could even hear the pitter-patter sounds coming from inside.
“This is enough for you to pass the life-and-death challenge,” said Mu Qinghe.
Quite a few people secretly gasped.
The First Deity is indeed extraordinary and is so shocking when he takes action! It’s definitely enough to use all the lightning bolts to produce Yuan instruments.
Above that, one had to trigger the Holy Jade of Chaos’s force…
The few Armory Refinement Masters relaxed and started taking action.
…
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Next to the Holy Jade of Chaos, intense battles proceeded in the four competition arenas respectively.
Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings and finally focused on the heavenly doctor arena. After all, Xiao Ba and Jian Fengchi were there.
The fire burned.
Xiao Ba smoothly placed the many herbs in, and her movements flowed well.
Even Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment. Even though she knew that Xiao Ba was very capable in this aspect, she hadn’t really seen her properly produce pills.
Such chances were even fewer, especially after Xiao Ba broke through to become a Supreme Physician. Hence, now that Chu Liuyue suddenly saw it, even she couldn’t help but secretly gasp in shock.
Su Li’s eyes lit up and praised, “Little Yue’er, I recall that Xiao Ba just broke through to become a Supreme Physician not long ago, right? Why is she so capable?”
Even though she wasn’t a heavenly doctor, she had seen quite a few Supreme Physicians producing pills. Xiao Ba’s technique was at the top of the rankings.
Chu Liuyue smiled and said, “She has always been smart and has been continuously going to the medicinal mountain lately. No wonder she’s like this.”
Su Li nodded thoughtfully, lowered her voice, and said, “Even though I don’t really know, from what I see, I feel that Xiao Ba is on par with that Eighth Deity!”
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes lightly.
Actually, this wasn’t Su Li’s misunderstanding. In actual fact, she also had such thoughts.
In the heavenly doctor arena, Shu Jing’s own skills were restricted to that of a Supreme Physician. Everyone also produced pills at the same time, thus the comparison became more intense.
Shu Jing was familiar with her actions, and so was Xiao Ba.
Shu Jing controlled it extremely well, and so did Xiao Ba.
Shu Jing could put the herbs of different properties in at different timings while adjusting the fire, and… so did Xiao Ba.
Compared to the both of them, the remaining heavenly doctors all seemed rather clumsy.
Liang He and Jian Fengchi were slightly better, but one could clearly see the difference.
It seemed like Xiao Ba had spent quite some effort on this…
…
Even the spectators could see the comparison. Those competing could see it even more clearly.
Originally, Shu Jing didn’t take Xiao Ba to heart. But as time passed slowly, she finally realized that Xiao Ba’s skills were much stronger than she had predicted.
The two of them weren’t far away, so she could see her opponent at one glance.
Xiao Ba stood before the cauldron, and there was a smile on her pretty face.
Every movement and action was filled with an indescribable beauty. It was the type of smoothness that one would have when one clearly knew the properties of the herbs and fires.
As she moved, the crushed gems around her wrist also sounded.
To the crowd, she didn’t look like she was producing pills and instead looked like she was dancing. Just by standing there, she was as pretty as a painting.
Shu Jing knitted her brows. Then, she added more herbs and secretly hastened her speed.
Xiao Ba’s lips suddenly curled up. Eighth Deity is… anxious? However, such pill production can’t be rushed. This Shu Jing… can’t calm herself down. I really don’t know how she became the Eighth Deity.
As Xiao Ba thought to herself, she added the herbs into the cauldron in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, heavy sounds were heard from the side!
Bam!
Chu Liuyue’s gaze turned slightly.
It turned out that the competition between Fang Xuning and Mu Dongyou had already ended. The previous sound was Fang Xuning being hit by Mu Dongyou, and he fell to the floor.
He actually lost.
“What a pity…” said Xiao Ran suddenly, his voice filled with regret.
Following that, Chu Liuyue saw a few rays of light flying out from the Xuan formation beneath the duo’s feet. They were like ropes that strangled Fang Xuning tightly.
There were many wounds on Fang Xuning’s body, and his face and his hands were stained with blood. He looked disheveled.
When he saw the few rays of light, deep disappointment flashed across his face. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he eventually closed his eyes.
The next moment, his figure was instantly absorbed!
At that moment… his soul was crushed!
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes, and her heart skipped a few beats.
The legendary warrior with shocking aura previously actually met his demise in the blink of an eye! He could not even say a word…
The so-called life-and-death challenge… was indeed ferocious!
She instinctively surveyed her surroundings but saw that most people weren’t shocked. Obviously, they had already predicted this scene the moment Fang Xuning lost!
Chu Liuyue held her breath in.
Even if there was a barrier that isolated all the commotion in the arena, she could still smell the faint bloody scent permeating the air.
It’s no wonder everyone tried their best to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall beforehand… They have to face so much risk for this challenge alone!
Thinking of this, she furrowed her brows and glanced at Xiao Ba and Jian Fengchi. If they also faile, then… Will they have to face the same consequences as Fang Xuning?
Once this thought flashed across her mind, an explosion sound was suddenly heard.
Bang!
Chu Liuyue looked over and saw that a heavenly doctor not far away behind Xiao Ba had failed due to a mistake. His entire cauldron exploded, and the broken shards even flew toward Xiao Ba!
Chu Liuyue felt uneasy!
