Chu Qingsong froze for a moment, then shook his head.

He sneered, "Heh, I don't even feel like saying harsh words to a little brat like you. Fine, since your father wants you to die, let's begin!"

The competition soon officially began.

Chu Luo followed the pill refining method Chen Xiao had taught him yesterday, refining the pill in an orderly manner.

Chu Qingsong, on the other hand, didn't rush to start. Instead, he stared at Chu Luo with a strange expression.

"Boy, what are you doing? Do you even know how to refine pills?"

Chu Luo's lips curled up, and he said triumphantly, "You're just making a fuss over nothing!"

Chu Qingsong frowned, folded his arms, and watched.

He was, after all, a master of pill refining who had been immersed in the Dao of Alchemy for decades. He quickly discovered some clues and understood the essence of this pill refining method.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Xiao Luo, where did you learn this pill refining technique? Who did you learn it from?"

"It's definitely not from your father. His wooden head couldn't possibly come up with such a wonderful pill refining method!"

Chu Qingsong not only didn't refine pills himself, but also started to comment on Chu Luo.

Jian Xiao frowned slightly and said impatiently, "What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and finish this quickly?"

Chu Qingsong glared at him directly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Jian Xiao was so angry that his teeth itched, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Chu Qingsong sneered and finally picked up the medicinal herbs, lit the pill furnace, and began to refine pills.

However, this scene, when it fell into Chu Qingbai's eyes, shocked him.

"Second Brother, he actually dares to speak to a disciple of a sect like that? What is his status now?"

Chen Xiao silently sized up Jian Xiao. This person's strength was slightly stronger than Tu Junhou's, but not by much. He was probably also a Yuanying Realm cultivator.

He wondered what position someone with such strength could hold in the Xuanjian Sect.

It probably wouldn't be too high, or else he wouldn't have been lectured by Chu Qingsong.

As for the pill refining competition, Chen Xiao didn't pay too much attention to it.

In his opinion, Chu Luo was already guaranteed to win. After all, a crushing advantage in pill refining skills couldn't be compensated for by experience.

Boom—

Along with the disappearance of the final Qilin (Kirin) Fiery Flames, Chu Luo's Three Flowers Pill had been successfully refined.

Chu Luo couldn't wait to open the pill furnace, and a round and full Three Flowers Pill popped out!

In an instant, the fragrance of the pill spread everywhere, and the entire training ground was filled with a strange aroma.

Even Chu Qingsong, who was concentrating on refining pills, was a little distracted.

He frowned, and a cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Chu Luo presented the Three Flowers Pill to his father, and Chu Qingbai praised it endlessly after seeing it.

"Perfect, this is simply a perfect Three Flowers Pill! Smell the aroma, look at the pill patterns, it's truly authentic!"

Chu Luo was speechless, thinking to himself, 'Father doesn't leave Medicine King Valley much, where did he learn this foul language from?'

The pressure was on Chu Qingsong's side. Although he didn't distract himself to see how perfect Chu Luo's Three Flowers Pill was.

But just the aroma earlier was enough to explain the problem.

A sense of powerlessness enveloped him, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that Xiao Luo was right? I couldn't beat my elder brother before, and now I can't even beat him?"

"No, I can't lose!"

Thinking of this, Chu Qingsong gritted his teeth and gave Jian Xiao a look.

Jian Xiao understood and flicked his finger, and an invisible burst of energy shot into the pill furnace.

However, this scene could deceive others, but it couldn't escape Chen Xiao's eyes.

He smiled slightly and didn't rush to expose it. Since the other party was cheating, then this competition was already over.

Victory or defeat no longer mattered.

What Chen Xiao wanted to see now was what was behind the victory or defeat.

Chen Xiao knew that Chu Qingsong was cheating, but Chu Qingbai didn't. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Qingsong's pill furnace in disbelief.

"How is this possible? Why is there so much more spiritual energy in the pill furnace all of a sudden?"

Chu Luo also noticed this, "This is impossible, Uncle must be cheating!"

Chu Qingbai stopped him, "Xiao Luo, don't talk nonsense. Your uncle has been in the Hidden Immortal World for so many years after all, maybe he has mastered some superb pill refining techniques."

"Father, what time is it, and you're still helping him speak?"

Chu Luo asked in confusion.

Chu Qingbai didn't speak, his eyes fixed on Chu Qingsong in front of the pill furnace.

Just as he thought, a look of pain appeared on Chu Qingsong's face.

"What a great psychological tactic!"

Chen Xiao was completely convinced by Chu Qingbai. This person completely understood the human heart.

If Chu Qingbai followed Chu Luo's words and pointed out that Chu Qingsong was cheating, Chu Qingsong would definitely be enraged.

But Chu Qingbai didn't do that, instead, he blamed Chu Luo.

In this way, as long as Chu Qingsong was a person, he would feel guilty.

The facts proved that Chu Qingsong was indeed guilty...

And this also meant that this person still had a shred of conscience, and hadn't fallen to the point of being completely hopeless.

"Damn it, it's Pill Clouds!"

Just then, Zhu Xuanqing suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked up at the sky. The originally clear blue sky was now suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds.

"Is Second Master's Three Flowers Pill going to attract pill lightning?"

"In this way, the young master is in danger!"

"If Second Master successfully refines the pill, the young master will definitely lose!"

"Why are you still calling him Second Master? He's our new Valley Master!"

…

Amidst the discussions, Chen Xiao suddenly shouted, "Chu Qingsong, is this your Dao of Pill Refining?"

At the same time, a thunderbolt descended from the sky, like a wildly dancing silver serpent, striking the pill furnace in front of Chu Qingsong.

Crack—

The sound of thunder rang out, and a cloud of white smoke rose from the pill furnace!

The next second, the smoke dissipated.

Everyone's eyes were dull, and everyone's gazes converged on the pill furnace in front of Chu Qingsong.

"Did he successfully refine the pill?"

"Or did he fail?"

"The pill lightning struck the pill furnace, there's an 80% chance of failing to refine the pill."

"What a pity, if Second Master had acted a little faster... he wouldn't be Second Master anymore."

…

Pill lightning striking the pill furnace has a high probability of leading to the failure of pill refining.

But if it doesn't fail, it will add a lightning pattern to the pill.

Pills with lightning patterns are the best of the best.

So far, everyone doesn't know whether Chu Qingsong has successfully refined the pill or failed.

At this time, Jian Xiao said indifferently, "The victory or defeat has been decided, congratulations, Jiansong, you have finally achieved your wish and become the Valley Master you have always dreamed of."

"Hey, it's not certain whether he has successfully refined the pill yet, isn't it a little early to say that?"

Zhu Xuanqing said dissatisfied.

Jian Xiao sneered, "A mere pill lightning is not worth mentioning in front of my Xuanjian Sect's pill protection talisman. Jiansong, why don't you quickly open the pill furnace and let them see!"

The next moment, Chu Qingsong finally opened the pill furnace.

Boom—

A cloud of black smoke flew out...
