Chapter 1759 Talk About How Thick-Skinned You Are (2)

"Right, it's said that even the dean of the Alchemy Department only refines two to three Mystic Golden Core Pills a furnace at most. He's never refined more than five."

"Right, right, I've heard of it too. In that case, isn't our Junior Sister Lu even more powerful than the Dean of the Alchemy Department?"

"You can't calculate it like this. After all, the dean of the Alchemy Directorate is a middle-level Earth Grade alchemist. He's even better at refining pills than Junior Sister Lu."

"However, Junior Sister Lu is also very impressive. It's not an exaggeration to say that she's an alchemy genius."

"Of course. If a 27-year-old high-level Mystic Rank alchemist isn't a genius, wouldn't we be worse than scum?"

"Heh, you think that Junior Sister Lu is an alchemy genius now, so why didn't you have confidence in her just now?"

The group of people who were originally praising him happily: "…" Wasn't it not good to expose their shortcomings at this moment?

Lu Zijia smiled and put all the seven round pills in the furnace into a jade bottle.

After putting away the Taiyi Pill Furnace, Lu Zijia stood up and was about to throw the jade bottle to Du Yu, but she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the middle-aged mentor who was acting as the referee.

"Mentor, do you need to check?"

Lu Zijia said as she gestured at the jade bottle in her hand.

Cultivators had extremely good eyesight, not to mention that the strong pill fragrance still kept coming out when Lu Zijia condensed the pills. Apparently, she had completely succeeded in refining the pills.

Therefore, the middle-aged mentor shook his head and immediately said to everyone, "I announce that this alchemy competition…"

"Wait!"

Helian Qiguang, who was still unwilling to accept this, interrupted what the middle-aged mentor said next loudly and accused him, "Teacher, I want to accuse Lu Zijia of attacking me with her mental power when I was refining pills! I request that you void this competition!"

The middle-aged mentor frowned slightly. He was a mentor of the Alchemy Department, so he was naturally an alchemist. His mental power wasn't bad either.

However, just then, he didn't notice that Helian Qiguang was under any mental attack.

Instead, it was because of his unstable mind that the furnace exploded and the pills were destroyed.

"Senior Brother Helian, are you joking?"

Seeing that the middle-aged mentor didn't speak for a long time, Lu Zijia looked at Helian Qiguang with a sneer.

"I'm also refining pills, and what I'm refining is an extremely difficult Mystic Golden Core Pill. How can I possibly divert my attention to attack you with my mental power? Besides, even if you successfully refine the pills, you'll still lose. Why should I take the risk of the furnace exploding and the pills being destroyed to ambush you?"

Helian Qiguang's expression changed slightly, but he still braced himself and said, "Even if it's not you, it's definitely your Dao Companion!"

He had no choice. If he couldn't make this battle invalid, he would have to lose 50 million Spirit Stones to Lu Zijia. 50 million was definitely not a small amount.

Even if his father was willing to give it to him, the members of the family would definitely have something against him.

Lu Zijia put her hands on her hips and stood in front of her dao companion, saying with a fake smile, "I can finally tell that Senior Brother Helian is a sore loser and wants to go back on his word! Fortunately, I was prepared in advance. Otherwise, you would really succeed, Senior Brother Helian."

What Lu Zijia said about being prepared was naturally signing the contract.

"You…!"

No matter how thick-skinned Helian Qiguang was, he couldn't help but blush angrily at this moment.

However, before he could say anything else, he was stopped by a stern and aged voice.

"Qiguang, you've disappointed me too much."

As the aged voice fell, Liao Zhenshan appeared in the arena.
