28: Qi Tian's Counterattack

“Dong.”

With a sound of a Pill Furnace being struck, the Pill Furnace in front of the arrogant young man directly opened.

Whoosh.

A white Medicinal Pill, mixed with some spots, shot out directly.

“Hahaha, I, Qi Tian, succeeded.”

“Eh? Master Gu, you are too polite. You don’t need to come over yourself, I’ll just send it to you.”

Qi Tian was extremely excited.

Just now, he had been fully focused on Alchemy, and the Quenching Bone Pill had been successfully refined.

Then, he saw Master Gu walking towards him, seemingly very happy.

It’s stable.

This time, becoming Master Gu’s Personal Disciple was a sure thing.

In that case, his Family would certainly prosper because of him, and he, Qi Tian, wanted wealth, status, and beauties; he wanted to enjoy all the blessings.

This made Qi Tian begin to fantasize about his future life of extraordinary success.

“Move aside, don’t block the Dao.”

With a cold shout, Master Gu impatiently pushed Qi Tian aside.

“Ah?”

Originally, Qi Tian, who had already started to feel light-headed, stumbled from the push, looking utterly bewildered.

He turned his head, slightly stiff.

He found that Master Gu had actually walked towards Su Ling'e.

And at this moment, the latter’s fair, jade-like, slender fingers seemed to be holding a snow-white, crystal-clear, perfectly round Medicinal Pill.

A Quenching Bone Pill, a high-quality one?

Even if Qi Tian hadn't refined one, it didn't prevent him from having some knowledge.

Judging from the Quenching Bone Pill in Su Ling'e's hand, this Medicinal Pill should at least have reached the high-quality level.

It was perfectly round, flawless, crystal clear, and even emitted a faint, fragrant aroma.

“No, this is absolutely impossible. How could a mere Ling'e refine a high-quality Quenching Bone Pill?”

Qi Tian shook his head, disbelieving.

Let alone him, even Ling'e herself was feeling a bit dizzy at the moment.

Her beautiful eyes stared at the high-quality Quenching Bone Pill in her hand, feeling as if she were dreaming.

“Haha, Xiao Ling'e, well done, well done. To actually refine a high-quality Quenching Bone Pill, from today onwards…”

Master Gu was very satisfied.

His usual impression of Ling'e being a bit dull was completely swept away.

After all, even he hadn’t refined a high-quality Quenching Bone Pill when he was an Alchemy Disciple.

This indicated that this young girl had extremely good talent.

“Wait!”

Just at this moment, Qi Tian suddenly shouted loudly.

At the same time, Ling'e saw someone whispering something into Qi Tian's ear.

This caused Qi Tian’s previously dejected and shocked expression to once again become confident, as if he held victory in his grasp.

This made Ling'e’s heart skip a beat.

She thought to herself: Not good.

“Master Gu, I suspect Ling'e cheated.”

Qi Tian stepped forward, looked at Ling'e, and sneered lightly.

“Cheated?”

Hearing this, Master Gu’s face darkened, and he said unhappily, “Are you suggesting my old eyes are failing? This high-quality Medicinal Pill was just refined, how could she have cheated?”

Seeing Master Gu get angry, Qi Tian’s body also trembled.

After all, Master Gu was a top-tier figure within the entire Wuling City.

He knew that if he couldn't give Master Gu a good explanation today, he might not only be unforgiven by Master Gu, but his own father would also skin him alive when he returned home.

Wiping a cold sweat from his forehead, Qi Tian's gaze swept over the table in front of Su Ling'e's Pill Furnace, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“Master Gu, Qi Tian would not dare to deceive you in any way.”

“Look, Su Ling'e used the second set of Materials, but of the Lie Yang Grass, which only has one stalk in each set of Materials, two sets are left.”

“This shows that she altered the Pill Formula, and may even have added other things. This is definitely cheating.”

Qi Tian feigned anger.

Upon hearing this, Ling'e's face instantly turned pale.

After all, she knew she was bound to lose just now, and she only tried the help from the handsome young man behind her with a 'let's see' attitude.

However, she didn't expect to actually refine a high-quality Quenching Bone Pill.

This filled her with pleasant surprise.

How did this Qi Tian know?

She glanced at Qi Tian's rear, where several attendants were sneering, making Ling'e's face turn ashen.

“Hmm?”

Indeed, when Master Gu’s eyes swept towards Ling'e’s Alchemy Materials, he found that the second portion of Lie Yang Grass had not been used at all.

“Nonsense. Xiao Ling'e, you altered the Pill Formula?”

“A Medicinal Pill refined with an incorrect Pill Formula cannot even be called a Quenching Bone Pill. If a medicine doesn't form a Medicinal Pill, it becomes poison.”

“Do you admit your guilt?!”

This heavy accusation nearly made Ling'e collapse.

It's over.

Her fate, and the fate of her Su Family, would likely be plunged into eternal damnation because of her mistake.

Qi Tian behind her was incredibly smug, strutting around like a victorious rooster.

“Hoo.”

Ji Yue'er’s figure shot out directly and supported Ling'e.

She huffed at Master Gu, “Is your Pill Formula necessarily correct? Why do you assert that Ling'e Young Miss’s Quenching Bone Pill is poison?”

Oh, wow.

Upon seeing Ji Yue'er, Qi Tian was so mesmerized he almost couldn't move.

This young girl, from head to toe, was enveloped in an ethereal, immortal aura.

Her appearance, figure, skin, and temperament were all three points more outstanding than Ling'e's.

He thought to himself, if he could have both her and Ling'e, wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?

“Ignorant girl, how dare you question Master Gu’s Pill Formula? Do you admit your guilt?”

“Come on, seize her.”

Qi Tian said excitedly to himself.

Once she was under his control, this lively Xiao Hu would be hard-pressed to escape his grasp.

“Yes.”

“Ah, ah!”

However, the two attendants behind Qi Tian had just lunged towards Ji Yue'er when two screams erupted, and their figures flew back at an even faster speed.

Hiss.

Everyone gasped.

They saw two bloody wounds on the chests of the two men, even revealing stark white bones.

And in front of Ji Yue'er, a cold, black-clad sword-wielding young man appeared.

It was Sword Dust.

“Sensible.”

Ji Yue'er chuckled softly.

Sword Dust nodded; with him present, no one could bully his Senior Sister.

This was a tradition of their sect.

“Presumptuous! How dare you cause trouble in Jubao Tower? You have immense audacity.”

Qi Tian said loudly.

Without a doubt, this time, he directly linked Master Gu and even Jubao Tower to the situation.

Sure enough, Master Gu’s face was also frighteningly gloomy.

Clatter.

Faintly, one could hear some experts moving rapidly from the direction of Jubao Tower towards this side.

Jubao Tower, the number one business association in Wuling City, naturally employed many strong guards.

Anyone who dared to cause trouble in Jubao Tower would have to pay the price.

“She is right. A Dao of Alchemy that adheres to rigid rules and lacks adaptability has no future. And the Lie Yang Grass in your Quenching Bone Pill is indeed inappropriate.”

Just at this moment, a clear and transcendent figure dressed in green walked out.

It was Li Luo.

Looking at Li Luo's youthful face, Master Gu sneered, “Boy, do you understand the Dao of Alchemy?”

“Heh heh, he jumped out himself.”

Qi Tian also sneered.

He had just heard that it was this pretty boy who had given Su Ling'e a Spiritual Plant.

Moreover, that lively girl seemed to be with this guy, right?

This made him incredibly jealous inside.

Now, having offended Master Gu and questioned Master Gu’s Dao of Alchemy, this boy was undoubtedly seeking death!
