MEIWITA Chapter 478: Grand Competition Finals (Twenty-Five)
At the same time as the muffled sound of Bai Fei Yao’s failure in refining Spiritual Herbs, Lou Mu Yan placed the Grade 6 pill that attracted a Pill Thunder into the pill bottle.
Bai Fei Yao raised her head and stared at the pill bottle in Lou Mu Yan’s hand. A layer of icy despair rose in her eyes.
How could this be possible? She hadn’t even used her Wood Communication Spiritual Body to refine a Grade 6 pill yet, so why did Lou Mu Yan finish refining first?
She was obviously much stronger than Lou Mu Yan in both constitution and talent!
Right now, the fact that Lou Mu Yan succeeded in refining pills after Wei Yu, and even attracted Pill Thunder, completely crushed the last straw in Bai Fei Yao’s heart.
“Yao’er, don’t be affected by them. Continue refining your pill, you can do it.” Ancestor Bai’s voice sounded by Bai Fei Yao’s ear.
Bai Fei Yao pressed her lips together and turned her gaze to the viewing seats of the Heavenly Secret Palace.
She saw the man she deeply loved look at the battle stage of the Alchemy Competition with a soft and doting gaze. Although she was confident and proud, but she also knew that her Senior Brother Chi wasn’t looking at her.
Right now, he couldn’t put anyone in his eyes—only Lou Mu Yan’s figure was reflected.
He didn’t shy away from his interest and liking for Lou Mu Yan at all, and his emotions were revealed in his deep phoenix eyes without any concealment.
She wasn’t reconciled!
“Yao’er, don’t give up.” Ancestor Bai’s urging voice came again.
Bai Fei Yao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze grew much firmer.
She took out another Spiritual Herb to refine, but no matter how much she tried to calm her mind, she could no longer do it.
The moment she began refining, the scene of Lou Mu Yan refining the pill appeared inexplicably in her mind, and images constantly flashed by of the flamboyance of the other party who successfully attracted the Pill Thunder and condensed the pills.
[PU!] The Spiritual Herbs in the pill cauldron failed to refine again.
Lou Mu Yan smiled meaningfully—Bai Fei Yao, herself, fell into a kind of despair. It seemed that she didn’t need to take action today, the other party already couldn’t refine Grade 6 pills anymore.
But she also sensitively discovered that Bai Fei Yao’s eyes were often aimed at Ming Xiu who was standing tall and straight in the seats of the Heavenly Secret Palace.
So she coveted her man!
She raised her gaze and looked as well. With one look, she met the pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes that were dark and bright like the stars.
It was just that those eyes lacked the usual lofty look of a fallen immortal as if untouched by the mortal world. Right now, it was filled with a warm colour of pampering, as if she was his whole world.
Lou Mu Yan’s lips melted into a gentle smile, her brows and eyes curved, and her beautiful eyes that were like the most dazzling gems also reflected only the figure of Ming Xiu’s peerless elegance.
The two tacitly looked at each other and chuckled, and Lou Mu Yan slowly looked away.
Ming Xiu stretched out his hand and rubbed the Buddhist beads that Lou Mu Yan gifted. This was a defence-type Magic Tool that she had specially carved for him using the Soul Nourishing Wood, which was sealed with nine layers of restrictions and arrays.
Although he was better than Lou Mu Yan in smithing, but this string of Buddhist beads had become his most favourite thing.
At this time, the pupils present were discussing in private that Lou Mu Yan once again won the championship of the Alchemy Competition.
Although the referee hadn’t yet announced it, but who could help it, Lou Mu Yan’s performance was simply too outstanding.
Although Wei Yu also refined a Grade 6 pill, but it was much inferior to the Intermediate-Level Grade 6 pill that could attract Pill Thunder.
As for Bai Fei Yao, she was still in the process of continuous failure in refining.
The disappointment in the hearts of many pupils of the Heavenly Secret Palace was evident. They never thought that their prideful favoured daughter of Heaven not only lost to Lou Mu Yan, but also continued to fail. She probably wouldn’t be able to refine Grade 6 pills again.
Talk from several pupils about how powerful Lou Mu Yan was and how her talent was Heaven-defying entered her ears. In addition, after meeting the disappointed gazes of the Senior Brothers that had a good relationship with her, Bai Fei Yao’s firm confidence was instantly shattered.
Hearing the sound of [PUCHI!] from the pill cauldron again, she already felt numb.
The last ingredient for refining pills was exhausted, but she also seemed to be relieved.
Even if she really refined an Initial-Phase Grade 6 pill, so what? She would still lose to Lou Mu Yan. Since that was the case, it was meaningless whether she refined it or not.
“Bai Fei Yao, you have already exhausted the Spiritual Herbs for refining your pills, do you still want to choose another pill to continue refining?” The referee of the Alchemy Competition asked.
Bai Fei Yao’s entire body trembled with weakness, and she said slowly and meekly: “No.”
She already lost, no? But why was she still so unreconciled?
She raised her head and looked coldly at Lou Mu Yan who had a flamboyant smile on her face, no longer hiding her resentment. Killing intent even surged.
Lou Mu Yan raised her eyes to meet hers. Her lips moved slightly, then she withdrew her gaze from Bai Fei Yao, no longer looking at her.
Bai Fei Yao’s hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched and the killing intent was even stronger.
Lou Mu Yan just said: I had never regarded you as an opponent, because you’re not worthy!
Those words deeply stimulated Bai Fei Yao. She was so angry that she was about to draw her sword when Ancestor Bai’s voice sounded in her mind.
“Yao’er, you still have a chance to defeat Lou Mu Yan, don’t be impulsive.”
Bai Fei Yao withdrew the hand that wanted to hold her sword, and replied telepathically, slightly confused: “Defeat Lou Mu Yan? How can I defeat her, Ancestor? Should I wait for the next Sects’ Grand Competition? But by then I won’t be able to participate in it!”
“Aye! Yao’er, did you forget that Lou Mu Yan is also participating in the Strength Competition?”
Ancestor Bai sighed and continued: “She’s only a Sword Sovereign, while you have the Wood Communication Spiritual Body and you’re also a Middle-Phase Sword Venerable. Even completely crippling her isn’t a problem. I’ll give you support when that time comes. The Eight Extremes Sect wouldn’t trouble you for a crippled pupil.”
His eyes were filled with wickedness—the confidence and dao heart in alchemy of the granddaughter he was proud of was ruined step by step by that little girl named Lou Mu Yan. If she couldn’t walk out of this shadow in her heart, then she would probably stop at Grade 6 Alchemist.
He couldn’t just watch the hard work he had raised for many years be ruined like this. Although Bai Luo Yin’s scheming and means were superior to Bai Fei Yao’s, but Bai Fei Yao was still a child who grew up by his side, and he didn’t want to just give up like this.
As long as Bai Fei Yao defeated Lou Mu Yan and crippled her in the Strength Competition, then her inner heart demon would be completely dissipated. Everything would be restored to its starting point.
Bai Fei Yao’s confused gaze suddenly brightened up.
Yeah! She and Lou Mu Yan both participated in the Strength Competition. She couldn’t compare to Lou Mu Yan in alchemy, but she was still very confident in her combat strength.
She restrained the grim look on her face, revealing a smile that was the same innocence and liveliness as before.
She walked lightly to Lou Mu Yan’s side and said in a voice that only them two could hear: “Lou Mu Yan, I’ll let you understand a truth in the Strength Competition.
“A pheasant will never become a phoenix.”
Lou Mu Yan chuckled, looked at Bai Fei Yao calmly and indifferently, replying: “I’m looking forward to seeing how you interpret this truth to me.”
Bai Fei Yao sneered, turned around without saying further words, and left the competition stage.
Lou Mu Yan, just wait. I, Bai Fei Yao, will trample you into the dust. The more dazzling you are today, the more worthless you will be in the future, like dust!
After Bai Fei Yao left, the chief referee compared the pills made by Wei Yu and Lou Mu Yan, then showed them to the Headmasters of the other Sects.
Then, he stood up and announced: “Alchemy Competition, Eight Extremes Sect’s pupil Lou Mu Yan wins the championship!”
