Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 352: The Topic Of The Final

The Soul-Protecting Pill is a kind of pill that protects the soul of cultivators. Generally speaking, it is not used very often.

Choosing this pill as the topic for the Pill Refining Competition this time is indeed a difficult challenge.

As a result, many participants of varying levels encountered problems during the competition.

One moment, a furnace exploded; another moment, someone produced a batch of useless pills. The whole venue was in chaos.

However, even so, many people still managed to easily complete the pill refining.

After half a day, Lu Yu and Mingxin successfully refined the pill.

Because it was only the preliminary round, the difficulty of refining the Soul-Protecting Pill was extremely high, so as long as they succeeded in refining it, they could advance to the next round.

If it had been before, Mingxin probably wouldn't have had the confidence to refine such a high-difficulty pill in one go.

But these past few days, she had learned a lot from Lu Yu and her strength had improved significantly.

"I'm done. This thing is really difficult. If I had come a few days ago, I would probably have blown up the furnace," Mingxin said with lingering fear after refining the pill.

"I'm fine now. The difficulty of this pill is indeed not small. Those who can refine it are all experts," Lu Yu said while looking towards the disciples of the Medicine King Valley.

Several disciples of the Medicine King Valley were gathered together for the competition.

When Lu Yu and the others finished refining, the disciples of the Medicine King Valley were also approaching the crucial moment.

Obviously, they were quite accomplished in the art of pill refining. Lu Yu didn't even see a single participant whose furnace exploded.

Finally, evening arrived, and the referee returned to the competition arena to announce the official end of the competition.

"Next, I announce the results of the competition..."

Who could advance to the next round was basically obvious, and the referee didn't need to carefully distinguish.

Just announcing the names of those who completed the competition would be enough. As for the others, they could only go back and continue their cultivation.

"The Medicine King Valley is really amazing. Seven of their people have entered the finals."

"Yes, they brought a total of eight people, and seven of them managed to refine the Soul-Protecting Pill. It's really impressive. I remember in the last competition, they also had many people in the finals."

"That's right, the Soul-Protecting Pill is extremely difficult for us, but for the people of the Medicine King Valley, it's simply a breeze."

When the referee called out their names, all the disciples of the Medicine King Valley who passed the round had a proud expression, as if they were showing off.

As for the one who was eliminated, his face looked very ugly.

Actually, it was just bad luck for him. During the competition, Lu Yu used his divine sense to discover that there might have been a problem with his materials, which caused the furnace to explode. It had little to do with his own pill refining skills.

But that's how competitions are. Who told him not to check the ingredients properly?

"Alright, everyone go rest for a while. Tomorrow, we will have the final competition. I hope everyone can achieve good results."

The first day of the competition ended here.

Lu Yu and Mingxin returned home together.

When they arrived home, they found that there were guests in the house.

"Why is Li the shopkeeper here?"

Seeing the two women in the room, Lu Yu's eyes lit up.

Previously, Bai Xiaoxi had always covered her face when appearing in front of everyone, but today she was probably at home, so she didn't bother to wear a veil.

As expected, her appearance was so perfect that it was suffocating. Even just a glance made Lu Yu almost lose his composure.

"She's really a vixen. Just one look and I almost couldn't control myself," Lu Yu shook his head, feeling somewhat speechless.

"Congratulations, Young Master Lu, on your victory. I came this time to share some insider information with you," Li the shopkeeper said.

"Please have a seat, Li the shopkeeper. What insider information do you have?"

Lu Yu sat down next to the Eight Immortals table and absentmindedly picked up a teacup, pouring himself a cup of spiritual tea and taking a sip.

Today, refining the Soul-Protecting Pill had consumed a lot of his energy, so this cup of spiritual tea came at just the right time.

"You know about the Tianji Tower of the Greedy Wolf Hall, right?"

"Of course."

Not only did Lu Yu know about it, but he was also the champion of the previous Tianji Tower trial.

"I heard that the Tianji Tower trial is about to begin, and there is a stage in the tower that requires defense against soul attacks. So, the topic for the preliminary round this time is the Soul-Protecting Pill."

"I see."

Lu Yu nodded, suddenly realizing.

He was well aware of how important the Tianji Tower trial was.

If he was prepared for the trial, he could definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, the trials he had experienced before did not involve soul attacks, so it seemed that they only appeared in the latter half of the Tianji Tower.

"Who is so powerful that they can enter the latter half of the Tianji Tower? If I have the chance, I should get to know them."

He thought to himself.

"The Soul-Protecting Pill is only for ordinary disciples. The topic for the final stage should be the Exploding Spirit Pill, a new type of pill."

"Exploding Spirit Pill? I've never heard of it. What kind of pill is it?"

Even though Mingxin was knowledgeable, she had never heard of this pill.

The same went for Lu Yu.

"The Exploding Spirit Pill is said to be a pill that can instantly provide a large amount of spiritual power, allowing the user's strength to double instantly!"

"A battle pill? Could it be that the person in the trial has reached the fortieth level?"

Lu Yu immediately understood the meaning of this pill.

In the Tianji Tower, there was indeed a need for a lot of battles, especially on the twentieth level, where he would have to fight against himself.

Fighting against oneself would be difficult without some special means.

So it made sense to use the Exploding Spirit Pill, a pill that rapidly increased one's strength.

The more he listened, the more he felt that this was the case.

Thinking about it, after the Pill Refining Conference was over, he would probably have to visit the Greedy Wolf Hall. At least he should go and see the next opening of the Tianji Tower.

He had already comprehended the third level of the Tianji Heart Sutra, and was now striving towards the fourth level.

With his current strength, he might be able to see what the fortieth level looked like.

"I've obtained the pill formula for the Exploding Spirit Pill. Take a look and make some preparations."

Li Qingqing's main purpose for coming this time was to deliver the pill formula to Lu Yu.

Originally, he thought that Lu Yu only had one dual cultivation partner, Mingxin, but he didn't expect to see another beautiful woman, Bai Xiaoxi, when he entered.

Moreover, Bai Xiaoxi didn't seem like a guest at all. She even poured tea for her.

So Li Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable now.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Li. This pill formula came just in time."

Lu Yu was overjoyed.

Being able to get the pill formula in advance would allow him to prepare early for any problems that might arise during the refining process. Who knows what could go wrong with such a powerful pill?

"Then I wish Young Master Lu great success."

After giving out the pill formula, Li Qingqing had no reason to stay any longer and bid farewell.

After she left, Lu Yu's gaze remained on her for a long time, unable to withdraw.

"It seems like she's not as strict today."

"What did you say?"

Mingxin was studying the pill formula next to him and didn't hear him clearly.
