Chapter 427 Alchemy Competition 0.5
After drinking bitter medicine for two consecutive days, Cheng Jiu felt that he had lost all his dreams in life.
They couldn't find out where the master was. When they asked, they were told not to worry too much about the child and to just focus on recovering.
To be honest, Uncle Qingyang was quite cunning. Even though he had Gong Cheng and Gong Yu come to keep her company, he was the one who delivered the bitter medicine to her every single time and even watched her drink it.
The reason they gave was quite legitimate: Immortal Lord Qingxu entrusted him with the care of his disciple, and he naturally couldn't entrust the task to someone else.
Cheng Jiu wasn't bored during his time recuperating in bed, since his friends were all quite free. People kept coming to visit him, including Li Weixin.
Because of her injury, Immortal Lord Qianli finally released her and allowed her to stay by his master's side. Although she was restricted, the people above her were all Mahayana Immortal Lords who had lived a long time and knew a lot. They could easily come up with some gossip that few people knew.
Take, for example, the old love affair of Immortal Lord Duqing. The immortals present may not have witnessed this gossip, but they have all heard of it. Gossip and secrets are passed down through generations, not to mention that this involves a ninth-grade alchemy master and a newly promoted alchemist, now a ninth-grade alchemy master.
Even if you're not into gossip, you'll still hear about it to avoid accidentally offending someone you don't realize when you interact with them—that would be really foolish.
So Cheng Jiu didn't sit idle during the few days he was in bed. He learned a lot about the opponents he might face in the future, so at least he wouldn't be completely clueless like when he faced Mo Shanbo and fell into a trap without knowing what was going on.
Of course, the alchemists who have made it this far are no pushovers; it takes real skill to force out their opponents' hidden abilities.
Otherwise, like the first battle at Moshanbo, the secret technique of Yan Nu was so niche that only a few disciples who had interacted with him during his training knew about it. Everyone else was still confused and couldn't find out anything.
Of the remaining opponents, the greatest threat is not the poisonous Datura, nor the outstanding Master Duqing's nephew Yifeng, but Senior Brother Anqi!
According to the news brought by Li Weixin, the elders of Medicine King Valley have a very high opinion of this unassuming senior disciple, Yao Feng.
Cheng Jiu thought of his duel with Senior Sister Xue Yuan. It seemed to be full of dramatic moments that were both funny and sad, but in fact, every step of it was a well-thought-out and solidly planned scheme.
Cheng Jiu's heart sank. Senior Brother An Qi was indeed an opponent he couldn't let his guard down against. Once he relaxed his vigilance, he might be facing an abyss.
If Cheng Jiu were to face off against An Qi, the elders of Medicine King Valley would be very pessimistic. In terms of strength, they were certain that Cheng Jiu would not be inferior to An Qi. However, Cheng Jiu's two dramatic displays of contempt revealed her lack of experience to the fullest extent.
Whether Cheng Jiu could suppress the veteran general with his superior strength was still a question mark in the minds of these elders.
If Cheng Jiu were ten years older, they wouldn't have these concerns, but unfortunately, Cheng Jiu is too young.
Cheng Jiu was unaware of what the two elders of Medicine King Valley were thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. Her attention was now focused on An Qi.
No matter who it is, she won't lose!
But when Cheng Jiu looked to the left at Yingyue, who was peeling spirit fruit, and to the right at Wen Sishu, who was studying the incomplete manual, she still felt a sense of disconnect. She had never imagined that she would face off against her senior brother An Qi.
Yingyue naturally noticed Cheng Jiu's gaze as well, and she tightly grasped Cheng Jiu's jade-white hand: "Don't worry, Junior Sister Jiu, I'm unconditionally on your side!"
