Recognized! Medicinal materials destroyed!

  "Is it windy?"

  She stood up, walked towards him, her clear eyes fixed on his body, looking at his elegant and noble face. In her heart, she was uncertain, if it was him, why didn't he recognize her? If it wasn't him, why did he look so similar?

  His phoenix eyes flickered slightly as he raised his gaze to look at her, but instead revealed a hint of elegant and refined smile: "Does this immortal resemble the young lady's acquaintance?"

  "Are you not?" She stared at him fixedly, not letting go of a single expression in his eyes.

  "If you think I am, then I am." He raised the corner of his lips, with a hint of evil charm.

  Tang Xin furrowed her brow and walked closer to him, carefully examining his features. Those eyebrows, those eyes, were they not similar?

  Mo Chenfeng's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her, his expression calm and serene, without a hint of change. He was curious, how would she prove that he was indeed him?

  The woman in front of him had changed her appearance, and if he hadn't seen that little ghost, he probably wouldn't have recognized her either. However, in the past two years, she had already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and this progress was quite fast. On the Tiger's Roar continent, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be considered a top expert, but in the cultivation world, there were many Foundation Establishment experts. Originally, he had planned to take her to the cultivation world after finding her, but suddenly, he didn't want to.

  Her strength is still too weak, she must become stronger, otherwise, even if he protects her, it will be difficult for her to survive in the cultivation world where the strong are respected. Moreover, that cultivator who wants to take her life has not been found yet, and if they bring her along, they fear it will put her in danger.

  Just as he was lost in thought, Tang Xin, who was close to him, suddenly reached out and placed his hand on his buttocks. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he exerted some force and tore off a piece of fabric from him. He quickly turned sideways to take a look, but was taken aback.

  No!

  Isn't that mark? He really isn't Mo Sheng Feng? The hope in his heart was shattered instantly, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling was in his heart at this moment.

  Mo Chen stared at her in shock, his face pale, just because she had put her hand on his buttocks, he was about to speak out of embarrassment, but unexpectedly, she tore off a piece of cloth from his buttocks, and forcibly destroyed the white robe on him, tearing a big hole, and this hole was in that place...

  The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This woman, she actually dared to casually tear a man's pants and look at his buttocks?

  "Miss, are you concerned about me?" He looked at her with a shocked expression and said: "If that's really the case, just say so, no need to tear off my clothes like this. If someone sees it, I'll have to jump into the Yellow River to wash away the shame."

  "Sorry, I made a mistake." She took a step back, her eyes cast down, hiding the expression in her eyes.

  He raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a mixture of unfamiliarity and indifference: "Is that it?" He glanced again at his exposed buttocks, knowing she wanted to see the mark, but unaware that the mark was caused by the pearl inside him. When the pearl was shattered, the mark also disappeared. His fingers brushed against the ring on his finger, and he slowly took out a coat from space and put it on, blocking the exposed view.

  At this, Tang Xin raised her eyes and glanced at him: "I've already apologized."

  "No, apologies won't work, you have to take responsibility."

  "What?"

  "Your reputation has been ruined by you, and you must take responsibility for it. Are you going to just let me see this for free?" The phoenix's eyes were filled with laughter, her voice was warm but had a hint of evil charm, which made Tang Xin stunned and unable to react for a moment.

  Is this person crazy? But I just took a glance at his butt, do I need to be so shocked and surprised? And responsible? She must have gone mad to take responsibility for him. At the moment, she walked up to the injured Xiao Dan, picked her up and headed towards the house, with the blood of that demonic cultivator on her body, she needed to change into a new set of clothes, and Xiao Dan's wound also needed to be bandaged.

  Watching her leave, Mu Chenfeng's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he followed her figure, his lips curled up, and his mood was obviously very good. At this time, Fengfeng, who had been staring at him from the side, finally walked forward, looked up at him and said: "Bad guy."

  Obviously, he was that bad guy who always bullied it. How did Mother not recognize him? And she even went to see his butt? What's good about that?

  Upon hearing the voice, he slightly lowered his head and looked at the little demon standing in front of him. This little demon was actually an ancient divine beast, but he hadn't realized it before. However, a young ancient divine beast was still too weak, and such strength would be unable to protect her when facing a true formidable enemy.

  "Qilin, go play with it." With a magnetic voice, the fire qilin suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on Fengfeng.

  "Ah! What are you doing, bad guy!" Fengfeng ran on the grass with her little legs as she was chased by Huo Qilin. She barely avoided Huo Qilin, but who knew that in the next moment, Huo Qilin pounced again, its entire body pressed against hers, and it bumped into her, sending her flying out.

  Huǒ Qílín knew that the force had to be grasped well, so he didn't use too much strength when he reached out. However, Fèngfèng was wailing loudly and trying to run towards the house, but Huǒ Qílín pulled her back.

  Mo Chenfeng glanced at them and walked towards the house, while inside, Tang Xin was changing clothes and bandaging Xiao Dan's wound, then letting him recover in a spatial ring. Turning around, she saw the man push open the door and enter as if no one was there.

  "How come you haven't left yet." She slightly furrowed her brow, perhaps because looking at him was just like looking at Mu Chenfeng, and she couldn't bring herself to feel any disgust towards him. That man had lost everything for her, even if the person in front of her wasn't him, but he had the same face, and to her, he was also a special existence.

  "I'm not going to leave, I'll stay here with you, okay?" He walked in and looked around her room, simple but complete, especially that bed, hmm, just right for two people.

  "No outsiders allowed within Nanshan Gate."

  "Xiu Xian Ben is a family, let alone our relationship is not ordinary, how can you say it's an outsider? Moreover, that demon cultivator escaped, who knows if he won't come back again. The strength of the Dan Mo cultivator, I think no one in Nan Xian Men can be his opponent."

  Tang's eyebrows furrowed, unable to deny that what he said was indeed reasonable. However, this person's background was unclear and his behavior was extremely suspicious. She always felt it was best not to get involved with him, or else it would be troublesome later on.

  She glanced at him and walked out, seeing Feng being chased by his Flame Qilin, shouting loudly, so she called out: "Feng, go back to the space."

  "Mother! That bad person is a bad person!" Fengfeng saw her and hurriedly shouted, rushing towards her while pouncing into her arms: "Mother, he's the bad person, he's the bad person!"

  At the words, Tang's eyes flickered slightly. She had hoped he was Mu Chenfeng, hoped he was still alive. But he didn't have that mark, how could it be the same person? Moreover, the two people's temperament differed too much, even if suspicious, yet couldn't produce actual evidence to prove he was Mu Chenfeng.

  As she turned to look at him, a man in white clothes, seemingly untouched by the worldly smoke and fire, was leaning against the door. His handsome face wore a hint of noble and elegant smile, but his phoenix-like eyes gleamed with a thread of evil charm. He seemed like a combination of immortal and devil, sometimes ethereal and otherworldly, sometimes evil and mysterious, making it impossible to fathom him.

  Is he really Mo Shunfeng? Was his appearance a coincidence or intentional?

  If it was someone unrelated to her, how could he possibly lend a helping hand? But if it really was him, then whose ashes were in the space bracelet? And why didn't he acknowledge her?

  Her mind was complicated, she knew that the taste of spiritual beasts was different from humans, and ancient divine beasts were even more so. Fengfeng repeatedly confirmed that he was indeed Mu Chenfeng, but how could he have survived? What had he experienced?

  She slowly lowered her eyelids to cover the complex expression in her eyes, and said softly: "Fengfeng, go inside the space and take care of Xiaodan."

  Phoenix pouted, wanting to say something else, but after glancing at Mo Chenfeng leaning against the door, she swallowed her words, nodded, and transformed into a beam of light entering the spatial ring.

  "Since you want to stay, then stay! However, I only have one bed here, so you can only sleep on the floor." She looked at him with an ambiguous expression, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

  After hearing her words, Mu Chenfeng raised an eyebrow and smiled slyly: "It doesn't matter, I think that bed of yours is just right for two people to sleep in. Besides, you've already torn my pants and seen my body, aren't you going to be shy about sleeping in the same bed?"

  "You have the guts to try it." She hooked her lips in a cold smile, walked in, sat down cross-legged on the bed, glanced at him and said: "I have a Dan-refining competition with Green Peak's people tomorrow, I need to rest, don't cause trouble for me here." As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and began to meditate quietly.

  Although she closed her eyes, her heart couldn't calm down. His appearance was too shocking for her, and even now it felt like a dream. Although she suspected whether he was Mu Zhenfeng or not, in her heart, she hoped that he was indeed Mu Zhenfeng. No matter what reason had kept him from recognizing her, she hoped that he truly was him, and that he really was still alive.

  She saw the spiritual energy on her body gradually spreading out, and Murong Feng's phoenix eyes narrowed. "Will there be a pill-refining competition tomorrow?" He took a deep look at her, then walked outside and sat down on the grass, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, lost in thought.

  The Huo Qilin lay down beside him, turned its head to glance at the house not far away, and asked with its spiritual sense: "Master, is she the woman you've been looking for?"

  "Mm." Mu Chen Feng lazily responded with a single sound, his body lying down on the grassy ground, his head propped up by his hands as he gazed at the sky.

  "Isn't she supposed to be very beautiful? I don't see anything special about her!" Huo Qilin curled his lip, unable to discern what was so unique about the woman.

  "Been idle lately? Run laps around the grass field and temper your speed."

  "Master..." Huo Qilin lowered his head, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

  "Go."

  Upon hearing this, the Huo Qilin resignedly stood up and began to run around in circles, following its master. It could only be said that it was unlucky to have such a master, being treated cruelly for no reason at all. Was there ever an ancient divine beast as miserable as it?

  Until the sky gradually darkened, Tang Xin stepped out of the house and saw him lying on the grass in a white robe, looking at the sky filled with sunset glow. She hesitated for a moment, walked over to him, sat down beside him, glanced at him, took out a cherry from her space ring and handed it to him: "Fruit." Her gaze fell on his handsome face, paying attention to his expression.

  Cherries, she and he went to pick them, were planted in the medicine field, and it was also because of that time she and he went to find cherries, that they didn't meet that ruthless immortal cultivator, escaped a disaster, but her relatives...

  Seeing that familiar yet strange fruit, a hint of surprise flashed across Feng's eyes: "Lingguo?" How did this fruit become Lingguo?

  "Hmm." She responded with a murmur, looked away, and continued eating her cherry in silence.

  He looked at the cherry in his hand, then at her, and put it to his lips, taking a bite. The familiar taste had an extra hint of spiritual energy within, and as he bit down, there was a refreshing fragrance between his lips and teeth. He thought back to that time when they went to pick cherries together, and involuntarily lowered his eyelids, hiding the look in his eyes.

  Two people stood in silence, gazing up at the sky as the sun disappeared over the horizon. A gentle breeze rustled through the grass, causing the blades to sway softly. The leaves of the trees in the forest whispered a soft "shhh" sound as they danced in the wind. They savored this moment of tranquility, with the person beside them being someone from their past. It was as if they had returned to a time before everything had happened. Until, a sudden noise broke the silence between them.

  "Tang Tang? Who is he? What's he doing here?" Tian Yin ran over, looking at the handsome man who was reclining on the grass with an air of nonchalance, his elegant demeanor tinged with a hint of evil charm. His phoenix-like eyes were half-closed, seeming to hold a hidden light, and his lips seemed to curve into a subtle smile that was reminiscent of Tang Tang's smile.

  "Ah! Fire, Fire Qilin!"

  She let out a cry of surprise, staring at the majestic fire qilin lying beside the man in shock. At first glance, she only saw the handsome man beside Tang Tang and didn't notice anything else. When her gaze moved away from the man's body, it was drawn to the fire qilin. A fire qilin! That's an ancient divine beast! And this is a fully grown ancient divine beast! In the Tiger Roar Continent, it's absolutely impossible for such an ancient divine beast to appear. What kind of background does this man have? How can he possess such a powerful ancient divine beast?!

  However, in contrast to her shock and amazement, the Huo Qilin merely lifted its eyelids for a lazy glance before closing them again. It had been called by its cruel owner to run non-stop, and was now exhausted. Just when it could finally rest, this woman came running over.

  "Tianyin, how did you come here?" Tang Xin looked at her in surprise. Last time she said that her master let her practice hard, otherwise she would not be allowed to leave the peak. From that day on, it was only today that she saw her figure again. With a glance of her divine sense, she saw that she was still at the seventh layer of Qi Refining and had not yet entered the eighth layer of Qi Refining, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

  Sneaked out?

  "I know you have a competition tomorrow, so I came to see how prepared you are. Tang Tang, who is that man with the fire qilin? Is he your friend?" She walked up to her and sized up Mu Chenfeng, who had an air of grandeur about him, wondering what kind of person he was.

  However, Mu Chenfeng elegantly stood up from the grass, smiled at Tianyin and said in a tone as if he was the master of the house: "You're a friend of my Tangtang, what's your name?"

  "You, you're from the Tang family?" Tianyin stared at him strangely, then looked at Tangxin beside her, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with interest as she gazed at him: "I'm Gu Tianyin, what's your relationship to Tangtang?"

  "Tianyin, stop fooling around." Tang Xin said helplessly.

  Mo Chen's sensitive lips curled up into a gentle smile, his phoenix eyes filled with tender feelings as he gazed at Tang Xin: "I am her most intimate person."

  "Really?" She asked hurriedly, as if she had heard some new gossip, "Then why haven't I seen you before? What's your name? Why hasn't Tangtang ever mentioned you?"

  Upon hearing this, Mu Chenfeng's phoenix eyes fell on Tang Xin's body, and he smiled, saying: "Isn't there? Maybe there is, it's just that you don't remember." His voice paused, and then added: "My Dharma name is Fuchenshenjun, you can also call me Mu Chenfeng." As he spoke, he looked at Tang Xin with a profound meaning in his eyes, seeing her staring blankly at him, her gaze full of confusion.

  After hearing his words, Tang Xin's heart suddenly started racing. He said he was Dust Wiping Immortal Lord, also known as Mu Chenfeng. But why did she feel that when these three words came out of his mouth, he seemed to be intentionally misleading her? Was he deliberately deceiving her or was he actually telling the truth?

  For a moment, her mind was unable to calm down because of his words. She wanted to ask him, but she knew he wouldn't admit it out loud. She hoped to hear those three words from his mouth, yet at the same time, she felt a little uncertain about what to do next.

  It was Tian Yin who, upon hearing the three words "Mu Chenfeng", jumped up in surprise: "What! You... you're Mu Chenfeng? Impossible! I heard from Tangtang that the Mu Chenfeng she loved had died, killed by someone, and Tangtang even brought his ashes!"

  Phoenix's eyes swept across a gentle affection when she heard Tian Yin's words, and the joy in her heart was even harder to conceal. Although she didn't hear her say "I love you" directly to him, she could tell her friends about her love for him, which already made him feel very satisfied and delighted. It turned out that not only had he fallen in love, but she also had feelings for him, it's just that she hadn't shown them before.

  This discovery made the corners of his lips involuntarily rise, and the lines on his face became even softer. His black pupils overflowed with gentle affection as he looked at Tang Xin, his magnetic voice low and questioning with a smile: "Oh? Is it true? So, you really mentioned me to your friends? But I'm still alive and well, never having died, so whose ashes are you carrying?"

  Tang Xin just stared at him intently, as if trying to discern whether his words were true or false. However, all she saw was the warmth and affection in his eyes, the joy that couldn't be concealed in his voice, and the corners of his lips curling up slightly. At this moment, she suddenly understood - he was indeed him, no matter how ambiguous his tone was when speaking to her, no matter how intentionally confusing her thoughts were. But the look in his eyes, the joy in his voice, and the expression on his face were absolutely not something that someone who had just met her could display.

  Heart, slightly trembling, it's really him!

  "It's really you, if it's really you, why pretend not to know me?"

  Mo Chen smiled faintly, not speaking, but only stretching out his hand to gently stroke her ink-black hair. That soft and smooth black hair seemed to hum with a magnetic voice as he slowly opened his mouth: "Tang Tang, you care about me, I'm really happy, it was worth being torn apart by you today and exposing my true self."

  "What?" Tian Yin's eyes widened in shock, her gaze darting back and forth between the two of them, unable to believe that the Tang Tang she knew could do such a thing.

  When Tang Xin heard his words, the corner of her mouth twitched. This bastard is deliberately trying to provoke me! Is it just because she saw his butt? Does he have to be like this? At that moment, she rolled her eyes and said: "Alright, which part of your body haven't I seen before? Isn't it just a piece of cloth torn from the back of your butt? Do you need to remember it like this?"

  Tianyin was already speechless from Mochengfeng's words, and now, after hearing Tangxin's bold statement, she stared with even wider eyes in shock. T-Tang... had really done it? How did she manage to do that? Did she really see every inch of Mochengfeng's body?

  "Haha......" Mo Chenfeng's low, pleasant laughter sounded out, his thick and magnetic voice making Tianyin pause in confusion, unsure what he was laughing at.

  Tang Xin's eyes sparkled slightly as she gazed deeply at him, who was right in front of her. For a long time, she couldn't utter a word. Until he had laughed enough and opened his mouth: "Tang Tang, it's getting late, let's go inside and rest! You still have to compete tomorrow, so it's better to conserve your energy tonight." As he spoke, he stood up and casually took Tang Xin's hand, about to walk inside under Tian Yin's astonished gaze.

  "That's right, I really need a good rest tonight. You can sleep outside the house then." Tang Xin shook off his hand and walked into the house in big strides, closing the door behind him: "Tian Yin, you go back first!"

  "Oh, okay." Tian Yin responded dazedly, looking at the locked-out Mu Chenfeng and then at the locked door, saying: "If you want to, go rest in the male disciples' quarters for a night!"

  He turned his head back and smiled: "No need, I'll stay here with her tonight, you go back first!"

  "Well, I'm leaving." She said, took a glance at the house, and then turned around to leave.

  In the room, Tang Xin was sleepless for a whole night, thinking about Murong Feng's affairs. How did he escape that disaster? And how did he become a powerful cultivator like this? One question after another emerged in her mind, and after thinking for a whole night, she still had no answers.

  As the sky brightened, she got up, washed and dressed, opened the door, and saw him sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation. His expression exuded a serene and ethereal aura, which made her feel unreal even though he was so close. Her clear eyes fell on his body, looking at those familiar eyebrows, familiar eyes, and a hint of softness flashed across the bottom of her eyes. Unconsciously, she stretched out her hand to touch him, but before she could reach his face, he suddenly opened his eyes.

  "Good morning." Feng's eyes sparkled with a smile, and as soon as she opened them, they became enchanting and charming. Looking at her outstretched hand, he asked in surprise: "What do you want to do? Touch me?" His lips curled up slightly, seeing her momentarily stunned, then reached out and pulled her over.

  "Ah! What are you doing?!"

  She exclaimed, her whole body pounced forward and was wrapped in his arms. The man's breath suddenly rushed into her nostrils, the warm body no longer felt cold, she paused, raised her head in his arms, but bumped into the man's overflowing gentle phoenix eyes, her heart skipped a beat, as if it had lost its rhythm.

  "Come on, don't be polite, where do you want to touch?" He pulled her hand into his chest and asked with a sly tone: "Here? Or here?"

  Tang Xin's mouth twitched slightly as she watched him pull her hand down, sliding over his chest, to his solid abdomen, and then he pulled it up to his face, stroking his cheek.

  "It smells so good."

  He suddenly said, with a dark light flashing in his phoenix eyes, his big hand holding her tightly, his handsome face inching closer and closer. Looking at her stunned expression, a hint of evil smile flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly buried his face in her neck, followed by a series of nibbling, sucking, and kissing sounds.

  The Fire Qilin lying on the side raised its eyelids and glanced at it, then lazily closed them again. Needless to say, its owner with a bad heart was thinking of doing something bad again. So early in the morning, did he have to be like this? He didn't even consider that it was also an adult ancient divine beast, which also had needs. Surprisingly, he didn't even take care of it.

  "You!"

  Tang Xin only felt a sudden thrill in her body, the man's warm lips nibbling on her neck, bringing her a tingling sensation, her hand moved, but the silver needle couldn't fall for a long time.

  "Alright, now you're mine." He looked at her with satisfaction, gazing at the kiss mark he left on her snow-white neck, joyfully declaring his possession.

  But his words also made Tang Xin's heart skip a beat, staring blankly at the man with a sly and charming smile.

  She suddenly woke up, pushed him away and quickly got up, retreated to the side of his body, her heart still pounding, she had actually fallen into his emotional web without knowing it, what was wrong with her?

  "Aren't you going to try the Dan trial? Why haven't you gone yet? Or, do you think a kiss would be better?" Feng's smiling gaze fell on her face. Who could have thought that under this ordinary and plain appearance, there was an enchanting beauty that could captivate the city?

  "Mo Chenfeng! Don't come again, I'm warning you, otherwise, I..."

  "How are you?" He raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.

  As soon as she spoke, she suddenly remembered that his current strength was far beyond hers, and she wasn't even a match for him. She couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger - this bastard had let her think he was dead, making her grieve for so long, only to pop out now without a word, intentionally trying to tease her! Fine, very fine, just wait and see how she'll deal with him next!

  Her eyes flickered, and her expression changed from anger to a smile. Her clear gaze fell on his devilishly charming face: "It's been two years since we last met, and you've really gained some experience. How come I never saw you being so good at flirting with women before?" As she spoke, she took out the ashes from her spatial ring and tossed them to him: "Whose remains are these? Take them and scatter them yourself!"

  She handed him the ashes, watching as she turned and walked away. He couldn't help but smile slightly - this woman, even if the mark on his body was gone, still knew it was him. Looking down at the urn in his hand, these were the ashes of one of his undercover guards. Standing up, he walked towards the grassland ahead, scattering the ashes to the wind, dispersing with the breeze...

  Today is the competition between the two major medicine peaks in Xianmen, and everyone in Xianmen has gone to watch the excitement. Early in the morning, the competition platform was already surrounded by people, all discussing which side would win?

  Apart from the Sect Master, the other Peak Masters also came to watch the trial. The Green Peak Master and his disciples had already arrived at the trial platform, and the Cloud Peak Master was also present, but only Tang Xin had yet to arrive.

  "Isn't Yunfeng's Tang Xin coming? Is he afraid?"

  "She has only been under Yunfeng's door for a few months, how can this alchemy compare to that of Sun Yang who has been under Lü Feng's door for many years."

  "Back down at the last minute? That shouldn't be! If I had known I wasn't a match for Sun Yang, I wouldn't have agreed to this duel. But I've heard that if Yunfeng loses, Zhao Fengzhu will have to leave Nanxianmen and never again practice alchemy as a disciple. For an alchemist, not being able to practice alchemy is a life without meaning."

  "That's not fair, who let him take in such a disciple and let her come out to compete with Sun Yang? That Sun Yang is already able to refine high-quality elixirs, I heard that after winning this competition, Sun Yang will go to the Alchemy Association to take the examination for the alchemist badge."

  In the crowd, Gong Yuchao glanced up at the stage, still not seeing that woman appear. Had she chickened out? He thought it unlikely. Although he had never interacted with her before, he knew she wasn't that kind of person. On the contrary, he was looking forward to today's competition - would she exceed everyone's expectations and win?

  Stage

  "How come no one has arrived yet? Yunfeng Master, your disciple won't be afraid of losing and dare not show up, will she?" A peak master said with a smile, his face expression not looking good. How could a woman who had only been learning alchemy for a few months possibly win against Sun Yang from Green Peak?

  "Isn't it too early? The Green Peak master isn't in a hurry, what's your rush?" A woman in white clothes glanced at the man who spoke and took a sip of tea. She was the Snow Peak master, Gu Tianyun's teacher, and since she had met Tang Xin before, she knew that this woman was not one to back down, on the contrary, she was looking forward to what kind of surprise she would bring them.

  Yunfeng's master looked up at the sky, still not seeing Tang Xin's appearance. He called over a disciple to take a look. At this time, he heard a soft voice calling out. He raised his eyes and saw her walking slowly towards him in white clothes, with Gu Tianyin following beside her.

  It turned out that Tianyin was thinking about the man who appeared in Tangxin's house yesterday, and she was curious about what would happen between them. She went to find her early in the morning, but unexpectedly met her halfway, and after chatting with her for a while, they were delayed for some time.

  "Master." Tang Xin walked forward and called out.

  "Hmm." Yunfeng nodded and looked at the Gate Master: "Gate Master, the trial can begin at any time."

  "Good." The gate master's wise eyes sized up Tang Xin, this girl had an extraordinary air about her, perhaps she would indeed become a great alchemist as Yun Feng said.

  In the crowd, Shi Yun, who also obtained an inner door to watch the trial, stood far away with everyone else on the stage, watching her come out. When she saw her, Shi Yun's eyes flickered slightly. She was so outstanding that just her demeanor already surpassed everyone else. Such a person was admirable but untouchable, and such a person was destined to make everyone look up to her. He was fortunate to have received her help time and again.

  "Come on! Come on Táng! We're rooting for you!"

  A crowd of Yunfeng Outer Sect disciples shouted loudly, cheering her on. They believed that Tangtang, who had been practicing alchemy for a few months, would definitely be able to defeat Sun Yang from Green Peak.

  Sun Yang on the stage had been sizing her up since Tang Xin's appearance, seeing the confident and calm expression between her eyebrows, as if she was self-assured, making his eyes narrow slightly. Could this unassuming woman really be so capable? Did she know that if she lost to him, Yunfeng Master would have to leave the Immortal Gate and never practice alchemy again?

  "Tang Shifu, I am Sun Yang." He stepped forward and bowed slightly.

  Tang Xin only then took a closer look at the man in front of her, about thirty years old, wearing a white robe unique to inner door disciples, with a sharp glint in his eyes. As she looked him up and down, his gaze remained fixed on her body.

  "I've seen Master Sun." She returned the courtesy with a gentle voice, soft and elegant, her lips curled into a faint smile that made it impossible to feel any dislike.

  "Tang Shifu's sister can get Yunfeng's master's favor and teach her wholeheartedly, it must be extraordinary. Today, I, Sun, am looking forward to competing with Tang Shifu's sister, and at the same time, I also hope that Tang Shifu's sister will go all out."

  "Mm." She nodded slightly, looking down at the audience, seeing many familiar faces. Her gaze swept past Gong Yun and landed on Shi Yun's group, her eyes meeting Shi Yun's, and she gave him a slight nod.

  Shi Yun was taken aback, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly in response. Meanwhile, the gaze of Tang Xin on stage made everyone curious - what was she looking at? Following her line of sight, it landed on Shi Yun's grey robes.

  Outer Disciple?

  Everyone was amazed, but it was just an outer door disciple who could get her nod of approval. It seemed that this person was not ordinary either. And when Gong Yao saw Shi Yun, his eyes flickered slightly, he knew that the man was the steward of Yun Feng, an outer door disciple, and all the outer door disciples called him Steward Brother. She had been under his jurisdiction when she first entered the immortal gate.

  "Alright, since both sides have arrived, I declare that the alchemy competition officially begins!" The loud voice of Master Hong resounded in the field, clearly entering the ears of the many famous disciples. His voice paused for a moment before continuing: "The competition will last for one morning, and the ranking will be determined by the color and difficulty of the elixirs produced by both sides. The judges, apart from me, will also include the various Peak Masters of the Immortal Sect."

  "What a coincidence! Both parties have chosen to refine the same elixir, the Gathering Spirit Pill! Bring forth the two Peak Masters' self-prepared spiritual medicines!"

  As soon as the host's voice fell, the people below were shocked and began to discuss it.

  "Jū Líng Dān? Both of them are refining Jū Líng Dān? That's a pill that can enhance the strength of the Qi Refining stage, and it's also quite difficult to refine. Apart from the two Peak Masters, it seems like none of the disciples from the two peaks have refined Jū Líng Dān before. Sun Yang might be able to refine it, but Táng Táng has only been following Cloud Peak Master for a few months, how could she possibly refine it?"

  "It's just that the medicinal materials for the Jīng Líng Dān are also very precious, and the minimum age of the spiritual medicine is over 50 years old. They usually don't have the opportunity to try it out."

  On the stage, Sun Yang looked at Tang Xin with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Was she also refining the Lingdan? So, Cloud Peak's master had left earlier to find the spiritual medicine for the Lingdan? But could she do it? Even he wasn't confident that he could refine a high-quality Lingdan, yet she dared to take on the challenge. Regardless of whether she won or lost, her courage already earned his admiration.

  Yunfeng's eyes turned to Lü Feng after hearing the words of Men, seeing a confident look on his face, and he couldn't help but think deeply. They were also refining the Jiling Dan? He should have thought of it earlier, in the realm of alchemy, apart from the Jiling Dan, which was difficult to refine and suitable for Sun Yang's refinement, there shouldn't be any other option. This time, both of them coincidentally chose to refine the same kind of elixir. In order to determine who would win or lose, they could only wait and see whose refined elixir would turn out to be superior.

  Two disciples separately placed two pieces of spiritual medicine on the prepared table, then retreated: "Both of you, this is the spiritual medicine for refining elixirs that both of you need to refine, please take a look."

  Tang Xin and Sun Yang stepped forward, lifted the cloth covering the medicinal materials, and saw that the materials were damaged. Tang Xin frowned and looked at her master: "Master, the medicinal materials are damaged." At the same time, a foul odor wafted up, like the smell of urine, which had ruined all the medicinal materials.

  "What!" Yunfeng master was shocked, taking big strides forward, and indeed saw that the medicinal materials had a light yellow urine on them, a strong odor made people wrinkle their brows. He sank his face, glanced at Lü Feng master with a look of not being concerned, but the smug expression in his eyes caught Yunfeng's attention.

  These medicinal materials were ruined by him! Despicable!

  "How is this possible? These spiritual medicines were all locked up, no one entered that room, and the key was always on my body!" The master of the door looked at those good medicinal materials being destroyed in vain, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

  What a pity! These are all old medicinal materials, it's not easy to find these medicines!

  Tang Xin looked at Master Lü Feng and Sun Yang as soon as she saw that her medicinal materials had been destroyed. She knew that this must have something to do with Master Lü Feng, but the shocked expression on Sun Yang's face when he saw his medicinal materials being destroyed was not fake. It seemed that he didn't know about his master messing with her medicinal materials.

  "Hum! Can't bear to part with that sacred object? Want to drive her master out of Nan Xian Men and never be able to refine the elixir again? She would never grant his wish!"

  "Alas! What a pity! Such good medicinal materials, all of which are over 50 years old, are not easy to find!" Green Peak Master walked up with a pretentious air, saying regretfully, and glanced at Cloud Peak Master's dark face, asking: "Then, now that you've lost the medicinal materials needed for the Gathering Spirit Pill, what do you plan to use to compete with us? Or will you directly admit defeat?"

  Upon hearing this, Sun Yang was taken aback and looked at his master, thinking to himself but not daring to believe it. Could it be that his master was afraid he would lose to Yunfeng's group, so he intentionally ruined their medicinal materials?
