I Have Medicine Chapter Ch239 - Cheating

Chapter Ch239 - Cheating

Early in the morning, Xu Lingxiu sent someone to bring Gu Zuo over. Gu Zuo looked around, and brought along Dragon One.

It had to be said that, because he was the best of Gongyi Tianheng’s confidantes, Dragon One’s management abilities were the strongest. Although his current strength wasn’t able to keep up with them, he was the most considerate and thorough when handling matters.

This time, Gu Zuo needed to compete with the members of Chongyun Sect, so taking along Dragon One was still the most appropriate choice.

Very quickly, they reached the Violet Tower. Xu Lingxiu was already waiting with seven male and female pharmacists. After Gu Zuo walked over and met everyone, he heard Xu Lingxiu speak: “Everyone’s all here, so we’ll be going now.”

The numerous pharmacists all said: “Understood, Junior Sect Brother Xu.”

Gu Zuo looked over…and wasn’t familiar with a single one of them. Also, there weren’t only just the faces he’d seen during the “meeting” a few days ago.

However, he knew that these people were the elites of the mid-level pharmacists. In a short while, they would strive to win honors for the Sect.

Gu Zuo diligently walked behind Xu Lingxiu. Under the protection of a crowd of Inner Sect martial artist disciples led by Xi Yangyun, they rode a wild bird and flew towards the core region of the Sect.

Qingyun Sect was very large. It was so large that, while Gu Zuo already came here long ago, there were still many places that he’d never visited before — Such as this time’s place where they would spar with Chongyun Sect. The plaza was incredibly big, and the ground seemed to be inlaid with a material similar to jade. If a spar was held here, regardless of whether it was a martial arts compet.i.tion or a pill battle, it would be run very smoothly. It also wouldn’t cause too much damage to the ground.

Gu Zuo gave a glance and saw several fretwork pavilions. All of the pavilions were gorgeous, and were split up among several layers. Each layer would have young men and women either sitting or standing; they had impressive bearings and wore uncommon clothes. Settled at the topmost layer were some qi emissions which were as vast as the ocean or the abyss. Although he didn’t deliberately discharge his psychic power, in Gu Zuo’s consciousness, he keenly felt that that place was very dangerous and imposing. He couldn’t rashly go to sound things out, or do anything inappropriate.

Suddenly, he realized that the ones staying there should’ve been apex powerhouses! Not even the Immortal Realm Huang Ji gave him this kind of oppressive feeling. Perhaps, the ones over there were Grand Elders?

There wasn’t enough time to think too much about it. Soon, Gu Zuo was pulled by Xu Lingxiu to take a seat that was directly across from a pavilion on the second layer. Over here, besides their nine pharmacists who were partic.i.p.ating in the spar, there were also some kindly-looking seniors. Among them was even the face of the high-level pharmacist Elder Huo, whom Gu Zuo had met a few times before.

Elder Huo clearly still remembered Gu Zuo, this good seedling. He had also heard about some of Gu Zuo’s achievements. At this time, Elder Huo gave Gu Zuo a very gratified smile, but stopped Gu Zuo’s plan of going over to pay his respects in public — He didn’t want to complicate this simple relations.h.i.+p between the two, which was similar to a cross-generational friends.h.i.+p.

Gu Zuo sat obediently with Xu Lingxiu, and quickly realized the situation here.

As it turned out, this place originally only had some very tidy jade-like stone steps. Whether one was a martial artist or pharmacist, everyone would have to find a layer to sit down cross-legged. However, after the members of Chongyun Sect arrived, they had directly set up those fretwork pavilions. If Qingyun Sect didn’t want to lose face, it needed to do something just as ostentatious.

As a result, because the other party was escorted by several Grand Elders, and those Grand Elders were concealing themselves on the top layer, Qingyun Sect likewise had their Grand Elders come to guard the venue — Otherwise, with only this level’s matter of Xiantian Realm younger generations, a few Immortal Realm experts would’ve been enough to supervise them. However, how would that have alarmed the might of the Atomic Realms?

Gu Zuo felt that, not only were Chongyun Sect’s people harboring evil designs by suppressing Qingyun Sect in this respect, they also definitely had other schemes in mind.

If not, they wouldn’t have gone this far&#k2026; For such a big sect to send envoys to Qingyun Sect, it wasn’t likely for those fellows to all have brain problems.

Without waiting for Gu Zuo to ponder things for too long, the spar between pharmacists had begun.

In that Chongyun Sect pavilion, a person quickly leaped out, and floated down.

After that, he took out a pill cauldron.

Gu Zuo immediately heard a peal of astonished voices around him.

“That’s a pharmacist?”

“How can a pharmacist do something like this…”

“Strange. What technique is this?”

Although a pharmacist’s realm could be continuously improved, their true qi could only be used to hasten the pharmacist’s hand seals. If one was to mention any martial artist-related abilities, there were none to speak of.

For example, Xiantian martial artists could briefly fly, but a Xiantian Realm pharmacist wasn’t able to do that. And just now, that fellow who jumped out from the pavilion was undoubtedly a pharmacist. How was he able to jump down from such a high pavilion without sustaining injuries?

On this side, the expressions of Xu Lingxiu and the other pharmacists were unnatural.

Something was wrong… They weren’t able to perform this kind of movement.

Only Gu Zuo was shocked in his heart.

This was psychic power!

Under that pharmacist’s feet was a supporting disk of unsophisticated psychic power, which slowly lowered him down! Although too much of that psychic power was wasted, it was unmistakably psychic power!

It was quiet on Xu Lingxiu’s side.

Originally, everyone who was going to spar was very excited. However, after the scene before their eyes, the first person to go out would inevitably be subjected to numerous unmeasured gazes like brambles and thorns in one’s back… It would certainly be extremely awkward.

Xu Lingxiu steadied his expression, and prepared to stand up.

He was the leader. Since the others weren’t willing to go, then only he could go.

But just at this moment, a woman who was as pretty as a spring flower stood up instead. With her curvy figure, rosy complexion, and stern temperament, she was like a fire phoenix going out with a head held high: “No, Junior Sect Brother Xu. Let me go to act as your vanguard. Keep an eye on what petty magic tricks those Chongyun Sect members are playing at!”

Gu Zuo collected his thoughts, and looked at this woman. His heart was somewhat worried.

Previously, he saw that Chongyun Sect had a female pharmacist who comprehended psychic powers, causing him to have many guesses. Now, it seemed that an ominous guess had come true. He had the best understanding of how formidable psychic powers were. The other side had it and his own side didn’t. As such, the following matters had become very difficult!

Xu Lingxiu and the others’ hearts also had bad premonitions, but they agreed, and watched as the woman departed.

A Xiantian martial artist came over, and carried that woman down swiftly. Although the spectacle was embarra.s.sing, the woman’s complexion was unfazed. In a natural and unrestrained manner, she arrive directly across from that Chongyun Sect pharmacist. She took out a pill cauldron, and sat opposite to him.

The pill fires were lit, and they began refining medicinal pills.

The movements of both sides were as smooth as drifting clouds and flowing water. Likewise, the pill fragrances that were emitted during refinement were also very attractive. It appeared that both sides’ skills were about the same? However, because the woman was fully concentrating or perhaps due to having a heart obsessed with medicine refinement, her speed seemed to gradually quicken… If this continued, the winner would most likely be the woman.

The Qingyun Sect pharmacists watching from far away gave slight sighs of relief.

It seemed that Qingyun Sect would be able to retrieve a little bit of face during this round.

But Gu Zuo’s gaze was firmly fixed upon the bodies of those two compet.i.tors — To be exact, he was staring at the body of that Chongyun Sect person. Because, he discovered that the psychic power over that pharmacist’s entire body was roving around!

Sure enough, the facts weren’t beyond Gu Zuo’s expectations. During the following pill condensing process, each of the woman’s steps didn’t have a single hair out of place. She was able to condense the pills without a hitch. But just when it was at the most critical juncture, a type of invisible power suddenly surged over and disturbed the qi emissions within that pill cauldron!

In the blink of an eye, quite a lot of burnt fumes spread out from the pill cauldron, which was a sign that the medicinal pills inside, which were about to condense, were failing!

Gu Zuo almost wanted to jump up.

Despicable! Too despicable!

Perhaps onlookers would think that this was a normal situation, but Gu Zuo was clearly aware that the Chongyun Sect pharmacist had quietly sent over his psychic power to wreck the woman’s refining!

The next moment, Gu Zuo caught sight of something else. The corner of that Chongyun Sect disciple’s mouth held an imperceptible sliver of conceited pride!

In a split second, Gu Zuo’s face sank.

He remained calm, and carefully recalled the strength of that psychic power just now. He immediately made a decision.

Following this, Gu Zuo condensed his own psychic power into an extremely thin strand. It flew over to the venue, and approached that Chongyun Sect pharmacist.

The other party didn’t act strangely, and nothing odd showed on his face.

Gu Zuo was betting. He bet that the other party’s Atomic Realm powerhouses wouldn’t strongly monitor this battle. Furthermore, he won this gamble.

That strand of psychic power was hidden under the other party’s pill cauldron. The very moment after the woman’s final pill also failed, the strand stimulated the cauldron’s flame. The medicinal power was instantly thrown into chaos!

Boom!

After a loud sound, the Chongyun Sect pharmacist’s cauldron unexpectedly exploded.
