Chapter 1189: The Precious Stone Lands its Innocent Possessor in Jail
He suppressed his overwhelming feelings. After much thinking, he still decided to stay here first and wait for Chu Liuyue to finish producing her pill.
Even if the academy really were in danger, the other elders were still around. Thus, it was okay for him to go late.
On the other hand, Chu Liuyue was at the most crucial moment of finishing her pill. If she was abruptly interrupted at this point, it would spell trouble.
Chu Liuyue also noticed that something was wrong with him as she averted her gaze and glanced at him.
His face—which was previously filled with excitement—had hints of nervousness and worry now.
Her heart sank slightly as well. “Mentor, what’s wrong?”
Elder Wan Zheng hurriedly shook his head. “Nothing, nothing. Just focus on producing your pill! I’ll be watching you from here. Don’t be distracted—it’s going to be produced soon!”
However, Chu Liuyue didn’t believe him. I have come to the academy for some time, but I have never seen Elder Wan Zheng reveal such an expression.
She originally wanted to ask him about it, but after much thinking, she held it in and turned her attention to producing the pill.
A fist-sized pill had already appeared in the fire!
Feeling the force from within, Chu Liuyue felt slightly more at ease. This time, I might actually succeed!
Even though she used to be a ninth-grade heavenly doctor, she still couldn’t help but feel agitated and elated now that she could come back after her rebirth and reach such a stage again.
Every day after her rebirth, she hoped that she could return to her peak or become even stronger! She didn’t expect to achieve this goal in the heavenly doctor aspect first!
She focused all her strength and became increasingly careful.
At the side, Elder Wan Zheng couldn’t completely rest assured as he kept looking in that direction from time to time. The academy’s plan this time is confidential, and even some elders aren’t too clear about it. This shows how highly everyone thinks of this issue. Calculating the time, they have been gone for more than 20 days, so it is normal that they came back at this time. But that ripple… clearly had hints ofstrangeness and uneasiness.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A few figures quickly flashed across in mid-air! Those were clearly elders who noticed that something was amiss, and they rushed over.
Elder Wan Zheng gradually clenched his fists tightly.
Chu Liuyue furrowed her brows slightly. She originally wanted to focus on producing her pill, but the strange vibe change on Elder Wan Zheng’s side wasn’t ignorable.
As she stared at the pill in the cauldron closely and controlled the fire carefully, she said,
“Mentor, if you really have something urgent on, you can just go ahead first. I’ll be over real soon
“No, I want to supervise you personally. You don’t have to care about those things; just produce your pill.” Elder Wan Zheng was very insistent.
Chu Liuyue could only swallow her remaining words, but she was increasingly curious. It’s probably not a small matter that can cause Elder Wan Zheng to be so worried. Previously, a few elders had already flown over in the sky. It seemed like… they were going toward the academy entrance? Did someone come and cause trouble?
But once this thought flashed across her mind, Chu Liuyue dispelled it. This is Ling Xiao Academy. Who has so much courage to cause trouble? Won ‘t they be making it unpleasant for themselves?
The fire burned relentlessly, and the pill gradually formed within.
A wave of herbal fragrance spread across.
Elder Wan Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but take a step forward and cross his arms tightly. Is this… succeeding?!
Whoosh!
Another figure flew across the sky!
Elder Wan Zheng felt as if another pot of cold water was poured on him. It seems like the situation is even worse than I thought…
He knitted his brows tightly and stared at Chu Liuyue and the pill in front of her without blinking. His heart beat increasingly quickly.
Time seemed to pass especially slowly.
The pill’s fragrance became increasingly strong.
Chu Liuyue held her breath in, circulated the force within her body, and turned it into fire, causing it to surge up!
Whir!
A strong force circulated within the cauldron!
Chu Liuyue was sure that the success of the pill production was right before her eyes!
She slammed against the cauldron harshly, and the fire suddenly exploded!
The pill in the middle became increasingly round and smooth. The lines gradually surfaced more clearly!
Chu Liuyue’s lips had already become slightly white. For the current her, she still had to force herself to produce a ninth-grade pill. This pill production basically exhausted all her force.
As she had already failed twice before, she was even weaker. Hence, this pill came with much difficulty!
The waves of weakness attacked her until her legs became soft.
She bit the tip of her tongue and used the sharp pain to wake herself awake.
The faint bloody taste spread across her lips, but Chu Liuyue already couldn’t care about all of this.
As long as I can successfully produce it, Elder Wan Zheng’s previous promise will come true! Thinking of this, she tried her best and sent the last bit of strength into the cauldron, merging it with the fire!
Whish!
That pill suddenly flew out, and it seemed like it was about to escape!
Chu Liuyue clenched her teeth tightly and controlled it as much as she could! IfIjust continue for a while… the pill will—
“Wan Zheng, why are you still here?! Fangzhou is already in a mess!” An anxious voice suddenly sounded, and it was Elder Hua Feng who rushed over. “That item is with Rong Xiu now, and they’re being surrounded—”
Bang!
Explosions could be heard from Chu Liuyue’s cauldron!
Ashes flew everywhere, and an intense burning smell spread across the area.
Chu Liuyue’s pill… was destroyed!<
