Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491: Chapter 135: Junior Brother Mu, You Did That on Purpose!

The scene was originally very quiet.

But suddenly someone interrupted Hua Cangzhu’s speech, and instantly, countless eyes turned to such a ’bold’ person.

"It’s Junior Brother Mu!"

"Look quickly, it’s actually Junior Brother Mu!"

"What does he mean by asking this question? Could it be that he still wants to challenge others?"

"However, with Junior Brother Mu’s skills, being ranked eighth is indeed an injustice to him!"

"Haha, I thought we’d only see a real duel when the popularity ranking matches start. But now, seeing this situation, the upcoming competition will surely be exciting."

The stands were filled with whispers, yet they all consciously kept the volume as low as possible.

In the middle of the three-tier stands, Hua Cangzhu’s face slightly darkened, his eyes glinting coldly as he looked at Mu Qingge. On the second tier of the stands, the four Elder Stewards from the Main Courtyard also raised their eyes, glancing expressionlessly at Mu Qingge.

It seems they were somewhat displeased with her rashness.

"Whose disciple is this?" Elder Li Ren among the four Elder Stewards asked, seemingly casually.

Lou Chuanbai immediately stood up from the lower tier, turned around and saluted saying, "Reporting to Elder Li, the disciple who spoke is my disciple. Please pardon the young one’s recklessness."

Elder Li didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids as he asked, "And who are you?"

Lou Chuanbai’s expression froze; Elder Li’s tone was indeed a bit disdainful. While standing aside, Hua Cangzhu secretly mocked Lou Chuanbai in his heart.

Perhaps, in the territory of the Third-class Country, Lou Chuanbai hadn’t experienced such treatment in a long time.

Lou Chuanbai immediately composed himself and said calmly, "I am Lou Chuanbai, a Pill Master from the Medicine Tower Branch."

"You are Lou Chuanbai?" Before Elder Li Ren could speak, another elder named Xia Tianwu spoke with interest.

He looked at Lou Chuanbai, his eyes revealing some appreciation.

Lou Chuanbai sensed the goodwill in his tone and slightly turned to him, saying, "That would be me."

Xia Tianwu smiled and nodded, "I’ve heard some things about you in the Main Courtyard, they say your alchemy talent is quite good. Why not come to the Main Courtyard?"

Lou Chuanbai smiled and said, "I am a person of the wilderness, accustomed to my current life. Going to the Main Courtyard, I’m afraid I wouldn’t adjust well and would disappoint the Main Courtyard’s nurturing."

"A place where everyone wants to squeeze in, yet you stay away. Interesting, interesting, let’s have a good chat after the selection competition." Xia Tianwu’s attitude was quite congenial. With just a few words, the previous awkwardness was passed over, and it subtly reminded everyone that the selection competition was serious business, not to delay, not forgetting there’s a supreme being sitting above them.

What sort of people are the elders from the Main Courtyard? Each and every one of them is a person of insight.

A secret exchange of glances, and all tacitly fell silent.

"Chuanbai is at your service any time." Lou Chuanbai also slightly saluted, then turned around and sat down.

Hua Cangzhu felt the change among them, both angrily and resentfully. Clearly, he could have suppressed Lou Chuanbai, but the turn of events unexpectedly allowed him to gain face in front of the elders from the Main Courtyard.

But in this scene, he couldn’t do anything.

He turned his eyes slightly, using the corner of his eyes to sneak a look at the emotions of the one sitting at the top, yet he could not discern any clues.

’Master, what is Little Lord doing?’ Gu Ya looked at his master, who was smiling since a certain lady appeared, and asked using a secret sound in his ear method.

Poor him, he didn’t get a response from Si Mo at all.

It seemed all of Si Mo’s attention was focused on the breathtaking figure standing proudly by the edge of the ring.

Hua Cangzhu suppressed his anger and asked, "Mu Ge, what do you mean by this?"

Mu Qingge chuckled softly, "No special meaning, just wanted to clarify the rules to avoid misunderstandings. May I ask, Principal, can a defender also challenge the ringmaster they are defending?"

Hua Cangzhu frowned, his intuition told him to deny this inquiry. So, he said loudly, "This is naturally not allowed. If the ringmaster challenges the ringmaster, wouldn’t the whole competition be in chaos?"

Defending is a kind of honor; defending successfully in three matches allows one to win. On your own ring, if you defend successfully for three matches you win, who would be foolish enough to challenge another ringmaster?

You must know, the abilities of a ringmaster and a challenger are not of the same level!

"Good, understood." Mu Qingge smiled slightly and said no more.

It seemed, the doubt in her heart had been clarified, and she would no longer ’seek attention’.

Yes, in the eyes of the four elders from the Main Courtyard, Mu Qingge’s abrupt behavior just now seemed like attention-seeking, deliberately using topics to leave an impression on them and get noticed.

They have seen these little tricks too often at the Main Courtyard, how could they be fooled?

The four Elder Stewards inwardly smiled with some disdain.

Even if there’s an impression, so what? Who could say if it’s a good one or a bad one? Although this kid trying to grab eyeballs looks stunningly attractive, their Medicine Tower is not a place for selling looks, who cares how good he looks? Talent is the most important!

If these thoughts were to reach Si Mo’s ears, who knows if this supreme being would crush their heads in public.

Dare to judge his little Ge’er this way? They’re simply courting death in creative ways!

"Alright, the competition rules have been stated, now the competition begins. The top ten on the popularity list, go to the ring according to their ranking." Hua Cangzhu shouted.

The challengers stepped back, poised for action.

Mei Zizhong, being the first on the popularity list, did not rush to the first ring.

Instead, Diao Yuan took the lead and jumped onto the second ring, standing coldly with a disdainful gaze scanning over the people beneath the stage.

However, when he saw Mu Qingge, his gaze flashed slightly.

For some reason, he always felt that this person’s earlier question was aimed at himself.

Diao Yuan’s gaze didn’t linger long on Mu Qingge before moving away.

Zhao Nanxing at this moment said to Mu Qingge and others, "Senior brothers, junior brothers, junior sisters, let us all do our best!"

The four nodded, then Zhao Nanxing leaped up onto the fourth ring.

"That one seems to be a prince of Yu Country." Elder Cang Erzi suddenly looked at Zhao Nanxing and said.

Li Ren’s expression was arrogant, his voice carrying some pride, "So what if he is a prince?"

Cang Erzi glanced at him, smiled, and said nothing more.

After Zhao Nanxing took the stage, Zhu Ling also went onto the fifth ring. Her figure was alluring and graceful, exceptionally charming, causing many male disciples in the stands to brighten in their eyes, even the four elders from the Main Courtyard took a few more glances.

"Unexpected to have such a bright and charming female disciple in the branch." Elder Yuan Hu narrowed his eyes, speaking with some unclear meaning.

Sitting beside him, Xia Tianwu lightly coughed twice, hinting with his eyes not to forget who was sitting above.

Yuan Hu’s face instantly changed, immediately sitting upright, saying no more.

Even when the beautiful Shang Zisu stepped onto the third ring, though his eyes flashed with astonishment, he dared not speak further.

All rings except the first ring had people standing on them.

Mei Zizhong didn’t hurry to the ring, instead walked to Mu Qingge, his eyes as calm as water, "Mu Ge, whatever you plan to do, make sure you advance. Don’t risk yourself for pointless individuals."

Mu Qingge held a slight smile at her lips, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

Mei Zizhong nodded, as if he had more to say, but he just pursed his lips, then turned like floating clouds, heading for the first ring.

"This person ranked first on the branch’s popularity is indeed someone extraordinary." Xia Tianwu nodded in appreciation. It seemed he admired Mei Zizhong’s airy, cloud-like, ethereal and tender temperament.

Sitting at the highest point, Si Mo’s narrowed eyes fell on Mei Zizhong, the smile that curled at his lips held several different meanings.

Secretly, Gu Ya looked at Gu Ye, conveying with his eyes: ’Do you feel any killing intent?’

Gu Ye coldly nodded.

Gu Ya added: ’It seems to start when that guy walked up to Little Lord.’

Gu Ye nodded again.

Gu Ya was almost crying without tears, lamenting in his heart: ’Master! Could your possessiveness not be so strong? It was just a word!’

When Mei Zizhong stepped onto the first ring, it immediately sparked cheers from the crowd.

The start of the competition seemed to also release these Medicine Tower disciples under the pressure of His Majesty, the Holy King.

Once most people were standing on the rings, only then did Mu Qingge head toward the eighth ring.

Once she stepped onto the ring, the surrounding erupted with deafening cheers, almost lifting the ground of the Medicine Tower!

"Mu Junior Brother! Mu Junior Brother! Mu Junior Brother!"

"Mu Ge—! Mu Ge—!"

The cheers came one after another, like waves of the sea.

This enthusiasm far exceeded that of the first person, Mei Zizhong. Yet, Mei Zizhong did not show any discontent; instead, he smiled slightly, with a sense of pride hidden in his eyes.

Not only him, but the notable figures on the third, fourth, and fifth platforms also smiled and showed no sign of jealousy.

Only Diao Yuan, standing on the second platform, had a darkened expression, and even his aura suddenly turned cold.

However, his change was not enough to alter the atmosphere at the scene. In fact, he had been overlooked to the point of non-existence.

"This disciple actually has so much support!" Xia Tianwu exclaimed in shock.

Such popularity, they had never experienced even in the Main Courtyard.

The other three were equally shocked, but they still had some doubts about Mu Qingge’s strength. After all, no matter how impressive she was for her age, how formidable could she really be? At most, she was an Advanced Alchemist, and in the Medicine Tower Headquarters, Advanced Alchemists of her age were not unheard of.

The cheers, like heatwaves, heightened the temperature of the competition site by several degrees.

This stemmed from the last thrilling Dan Fighting between Mu Qingge and Song Yu; the unprecedented phenomenon made them full of expectations for Mu Qingge, hoping she would amaze them once more!

Si Mo’s smile held a touch of fondness, his eyes locked onto the person on the eighth platform.

It seemed as if she was the only one in the world worthy of his gaze.

Such thunderous cheers seemed perfectly normal to him, and he even thought it was not enough. After all, that person was his little Ge’er! His little Ge’er was incomparable!

"Mu Ge—! Mu Ge—!"

"Mu Junior Brother! Mu Junior Brother! Mu Junior Brother!"

Standing on the eighth platform, Mu Qingge’s clear gaze scanned over Hua Cangzhu’s darkened face and Luo Chuanbai’s blooming smile, then suddenly raised her arm and clenched her fist tightly.

The action was crisp and forceful. Almost instinctively, all the cheers instantly silenced, and the Medicine Tower disciples in the stands pursed their lips following her action, but their chests still roared with emotion, stirred by this unparalleled, handsome gesture!

"Mu Junior Brother is so handsome!" a female disciple said with a shy face, biting her handkerchief.

"Oh my! I can’t take it anymore!" a male disciple couldn’t help but let out a low roar, overwhelmed by the primal energy within.

Such a simple action, yet it could command the entire scene.

This kind of control and influence made the four Elders from the Main Courtyard involuntarily gasp!

They all wondered in their hearts about who exactly this Mu Ge was. How could she have such popularity and support? Could it be... that the Branch had another world-shocking genius they were unaware of?

Immediately, all four of them simultaneously directed their inquisitive gazes at Hua Cangzhu.

Hua Cangzhu suddenly felt as if needles were pricking his back, making him very uncomfortable.

"Dean Hua, why does this Mu Ge receive such adoration from the disciples?" Xia Tianwu asked on behalf of the four.

Hua Cangzhu’s expression was uncertain, but he had no choice but to respond to the question from the Headquarters’ Elders. He difficultly replied, "This person completely passed the Spiritual Consciousness Tower test during the tower entry and also received the Spiritual Sense Fruit as a reward."

The four immediately widened their eyes.

They knew what the Spiritual Sense Fruit was; in the Main Courtyard, everyone was aware.

Only by completely passing the test of the Spiritual Consciousness Tower could one receive the Spiritual Sense Fruit as a reward, significantly enhancing one’s spiritual sense, achieving a qualitative leap.

However, no one in either the Main or Branch Courtyard had ever completely passed the test.

Therefore, the Spiritual Sense Fruit had never been obtained by anyone.

But now, what did they hear? A new disciple was able to pass the test of the Spiritual Consciousness Tower and received the Spiritual Sense Fruit?! This wasn’t just the number one in the Branch; it was the number one in the Main Courtyard too!

Yet, the shock was not over.

Hua Cangzhu continued, "After entering the tower, during a Dan Fighting, she refined a Top Grade Advanced Elixir, and there were Dan Clouds forming, which further condensed into Dan Flowers."

Having said this, he almost ground his teeth to pieces.

"What!" the four exclaimed in shock.

Those who have never practiced alchemy can hardly imagine how difficult it is to produce Dan Clouds, let alone for them to condense into Dan Flowers.

Could such a young person really achieve this step?

"How many flowers?" Cang Erzi asked, losing his composure.

Hua Cangzhu’s mouth twitched hard, and he squeezed out two words through his teeth: "Seven flowers."

Ssss——!

The sound of the four drawing a breath was incredibly synchronized. The shock in their eyes was impossible to conceal.

They seemed to understand why Mu Ge had such support.

In an instant, their impression of Mu Qingge transformed from a showy youngster to a remarkably talented prodigy!

"Since he is so formidable, why does he only guard the eighth platform?" Li Ren asked after recovering from the shock.

Hua Cangzhu really didn’t want to answer this question, as the person defeated by Mu Qingge was his disciple.

While he hesitated, Luo Chuanbai stood up and answered for him: "My disciple has only joined for a few months and is yet to participate in the ranking competitions. The eighth ranking was due to someone challenging her, and she won by chance."

A few months?

Li Ren’s mouth twitched hard, and he chose not to speak further.

Xia Tianwu smiled with admiration at Luo Chuanbai and said, "Chuanbai brother, you really got yourself a good disciple!"

Luo Chuanbai humbly lowered his head, saluted the four, and then sat down again.

The conversation between them was clearly heard by Si Mo. The smile on his lips grew wider; his little Ge’er was indeed so astonishing and delightful.

Even Gu Ya and Gu Ye showed expressions of shock in their eyes.

They had witnessed with their own eyes how this Mu "Little Lord" had transformed from a worthless being to her current state. Not only had her cultivation skyrocketed, but her alchemical prowess was equally impressive. Moreover, the whole process took less than two years.

Such a person... when compared to those so-called geniuses and prodigies, it was simply an insult!

They synchronously glanced at their master, once again admiring their master’s sharp vision! Yes, for such a formidable, legendary prodigy, it’s best to bring her home early!

The master was right! The master was indeed wise!

...

The shock caused by Mu Qingge mounting the platform gradually subsided, and the selection competition officially began.

There were few people mounting platforms from the first to the fifth. It seemed they all knew that going up would mean a loss. Meanwhile, before platforms six to ten, outside Mu Qingge’s eighth platform, there wasn’t a single challenger in line.

Seeing this situation, Mu Qingge thought she should have asked one more question.

That is—what happens if no one challenges her?

Fortunately, her question was somewhat unnecessary. After waiting patiently for a while, she witnessed a failed challenger coming down from the second platform, and finally, a shy-faced female disciple approached her platform.

Mu Qingge was stunned, and only then did she notice that at that moment, female disciples had filled in before her platform.

Once the female disciple ascended the platform, she immediately explained to Mu Qingge: "Mu Junior Brother, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not here to seize your platform. I... I can’t win against you. I just want... to see you up close. Being able to have a Dan Fighting with you is the greatest honor of my life."

Mu Qingge was bewildered by what she heard, feeling her mouth twitch slightly.

She speechlessly glanced at the eager-to-try female disciples below the platform and thought to herself: Surely, they weren’t all thinking of doing this?

With a helpless smile, Mu Qingge said to the female disciple, "Senior Sister, please."

The female disciple’s cheeks flushed a shy red, and she said to Mu Qingge, "I... I can at best refine Intermediate-level elixirs."

Mu Qingge, with a good temper, replied, "No worries, let’s just refine Intermediate-level elixirs then."

Such gentleness and demeanor made the female disciples below the platform swoon all over again, immensely excited.

Unlike the other fiercely contested platforms, Mu Qingge’s platform was like a gentle spring breeze, captivating hearts.

Even on the first platform with Mei Zizhong, there were occasionally female disciples hesitating below the platform, but it did not possess the same springtime exuberance as the eighth platform.

Si Mo watched with a slightly cold gaze, and Gu Ya and Gu Ye, standing behind him, took a step back in unison.

Feeling that his master was almost unable to restrain himself from killing, Gu Ya hurriedly said, "Master, they’re all women. Women."

"Women?" Si Mo’s lips slightly parted, his indifferent tone carrying an irresistible air: "Even if they’re women, it won’t do."

Gu Ya and Gu Ye wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking to themselves: Master, oh master, you know this young master is a magnet for trouble, why look for trouble yourself?

Just as they were worrying and fearing their master would lose his temper, a sudden exclamation sounded from the eighth arena.

The two immediately looked over and saw a puff of black smoke coming from Mu Qingge’s pill furnace on the eighth arena, clearly indicating a failure in alchemy.

The woman competing against her was bewildered, looking incredulously at Mu Qingge’s pill furnace.

The female disciples queuing to get on the arena were also dumbfounded.

Even those in the stands were shocked, staring at the eighth arena.

"What’s going on with Mu Ge? How could she fail?" Wei Guanguan asked in confusion.

Wei Qi remained relatively calm and said to her, "Just wait and see, Mu Ge must have her own plans."
