Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Chapter 137: The Arrival of the Strong, Family in Peril (Second Update)

"Elder, I’m done."

The voice of Mu Qingge, like the morning bell and evening drum, awakened the elder of the arena. He looked up bewilderedly, glanced at Mu Qingge, then at Diao Yuan, as if only just recalling what was taking place.

He looked towards the central grandstand and gestured to Hua Cangzhu.

Hua Cangzhu’s eyes twitched violently, his heart entangled with jealousy, hatred, and murderous intent, unable to calm down.

However, thinking of the people behind him, he restrained his emotions and slowly stood up, bowed to the four elders from the Main Courtyard, and said, "Elders, what do you think of this..."

The four exchanged glances, and finally, Yuan Hu stood up, respectfully saluted the highest grandstand, and cautiously said, "Your Majesty the Holy King, this is the last match of the selection contest. Could you please make a decision?"

Si Mo’s lips curled slightly. However, he replied in a very slow, very light, yet absolutely unrebellious voice, "This is your Medicine Tower’s affair, what does it have to do with me?"

His words left the four looking embarrassed.

In the end, Xia Tianwu was pushed forward to the arena to personally judge the outcome between the two elixirs.

In fact, the result was already clear in everyone’s heart; it was just that having an elder from the Main Courtyard declare it lent more credibility.

Xia Tianwu stepped onto the arena, first smiling and nodding to Mu Qingge, showing goodwill. Then he glanced at Diao Yuan, who was still immersed in his own world, his face sullen. Xia Tianwu’s eyes narrowed slightly and he shook his head almost imperceptibly.

He reached out to Diao Yuan, saying, "Give me the elixir."

Diao Yuan was startled, as if just waking up, and placed the bottle in Xia Tianwu’s hands. Afterward, he stared at Mu Qingge with eyes full of darkness.

Xia Tianwu glanced at him, then looked down, opened the bottle, and poured the elixir into his hand.

After carefully examining it, he announced loudly, "Advanced Elixir, Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, top grade."

This elixir, which should have received cheers, was met with only a few sparse claps from the audience. Everyone was waiting for Xia Tianwu’s judgment on Mu Qingge’s Spirit Level Elixir.

In front of a Spirit Level Elixir, any advanced elixir seemed less significant, no matter how difficult it was to refine, no matter if it was of the highest quality!

Xia Tianwu returned Diao Yuan’s elixir to him and extended his hand to Mu Qingge with a slight smile.

Mu Qingge returned the smile and placed her elixir in Xia Tianwu’s hand.

Xia Tianwu held the elixir in his hand, once again feeling its pure medicinal power. Steadying his mind, he began to meticulously inspect the elixir.

Suddenly, his eyes contracted sharply, and he pointed at the elixir in surprise, looking at Mu Qingge and asked, "Did you refine a Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill?!"

Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill!

The words from Xia Tianwu immediately made the three people on the second layer of the grandstand widen their eyes and lean forward.

"Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill? Why do the names sound so similar?" A disciple wondered.

This voice of doubt seemed to reach Xia Tianwu’s ears. He took a deep breath and looked at Mu Qingge, saying, "Although the names Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill and Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill are similar, their effects are worlds apart. The Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill is refined from the most ordinary medicinal materials, yet it can withstand six heart demon attacks. Cultivators know that the higher the cultivation, the stronger the heart demon’s harassment. Every time cultivation reaches a critical point, the heart demon will take advantage, causing mild cases of inner demons and confusion, and severe cases lead to shattered meridians and collapsed cultivation. However, if one possesses a Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill when encountering a heart demon during cultivation, it will smoothly pass the crisis, undoubtedly helping someone survive six life-and-death scenarios..."

With Xia Tianwu’s explanation, people gained deeper insights into the Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill.

The Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill can restore severe injuries six times.

However, the Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill can prevent the torment of six heart demon invasions, avoiding the risks of inner demons, shattered meridians, and becoming crippled. Who is more powerful has become very clear.

Since ancient times, physical injuries are easier to heal while spiritual wounds are difficult.

Diao Yuan’s Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill is powerful for treating physical injuries, but Mu Qingge’s pill is different, as it directly blocks the entrance of heart demons, preventing both physical and mental injuries.

Such an elixir is coveted everywhere, in any power, even in the Holy Yuan Empire.

Yet, the Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill, like the Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, is extremely difficult to refine, as the medicinal power must be released in six phases, meaning the elixir must be layered, and each layer is akin to forming a pill. Any slight misstep results in failure.

Moreover, because of the special nature of the Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill, the alchemist must resist the elixir’s resistance during its creation, adding to the challenge.

Xia Tianwu took a deep breath and declared loudly, "Six Revolutions Tribulation Crossing Pill, Spirit Level Elixir, grade... perfect!"

Hiss——!

The entire audience was stunned!

Their Medicine Tower Branch had truly produced a Spirit Level Alchemist! And it was a disciple who had just joined recently, this... this was simply uplifting for them!

"No! Impossible! What’s a perfect grade!" Diao Yuan shouted in disbelief.

He had never heard of a perfect grade.

Xia Tianwu’s face remained indifferent as he said, "A grade beyond top-grade is perfect grade!"

"This is impossible!" Diao Yuan denied, pointing at Mu Qingge, "How could she possibly refine an elixir beyond top-grade? Unless she cheated!"

"Insolence!" Xia Tianwu glared and roared angrily.

"Diao Yuan, shut up!" Hua Cangzhu stood up to stop him from speaking further. He was afraid that allowing Diao Yuan to continue would result in saying things they shouldn’t.

Diao Yuan looked at him, his eyes shadowed and deep.

Hua Cangzhu signaled him a warning, seeing little effect, he said with hatred, "Do not be insolent! Do you wish to be disrespectful in front of His Majesty the Holy King?"

Diao Yuan suddenly woke up, he raised his head and looked at the man sitting at the highest point, then knelt abruptly, prostrating in front of him, saying in horror, "Forgive my sins, Your Majesty the Holy King!"

From a distance, came a cold and indifferent snort.

Suddenly, even the three from the Main Courtyard stood up with changing expressions, carefully.

Li Ren looked at Hua Cangzhu and said harshly, "Look at the good disciple you’ve taught!"

Hua Cangzhu trembled all over, his heart filled with thoughts of wanting to kill Diao Yuan.

When the emperor is angry, the corpses lie scattered for thousands of miles.

This cold snort made all the Medicine Tower Disciples present trembling in fear, anxious, fearing that they might lose their lives inexplicably here.

This cold snort also woke Diao Yuan completely, reminding him that there was someone here he absolutely couldn’t offend!

Mu Qingge stood in place, her cold eyes slowly sweeping over the crowd frightened like quails by a certain someone’s presence, frowning slightly.

’Enough is enough.’ Mu Qingge transmitted telepathically to Si Mo.

Si Mo smiled and transmitted back: ’If little Ge’er doesn’t want me to get angry and kill everyone here, you should ask me.’

Mu Qingge’s eyes turned cold as she replied, ’You can kill, it has nothing to do with me.’

’Oh? Is little Ge’er willing? There are quite a few of your friends here, right?’ Si Mo taunted.

Mu Qingge’s eyes turned colder, she looked up towards the high platform she hadn’t dared to glance at after knowing certain someone was there. ’Are you threatening me?’

’I’m just a bit impatient to know little Ge’er’s answer.’ Si Mo suddenly said.

Mu Qingge was stunned, recalling the events of that day, a sudden inexplicable panic rising in her heart.

Just then, Si Mo’s voice resonated over the entire grandstand: "Well then, I’m in a good mood today, so you are pardoned from your disrespect."

Si Mo’s words brought everyone great relief, and Mu Qingge’s tense state also relaxed at once.

With Si Mo’s deterrence, Diao Yuan dared not speak again.

Only Xia Tianwu said: "In this match, Mu Ge wins!"

Mu Ge wins!

These three words were like three sharp knives stabbing into Diao Yuan’s heart, making him so pained he wished to become a demon and kill everyone opposing him.

The ensuing cheers only worsened his mood.

’Little Ge’er, that guy has murderous intent towards you.’ Si Mo suddenly transmitted his voice.

Mu Qingge looked at Diao Yuan and saw his gloomy appearance, carelessly saying: ’If he dares to come, I dare to kill.’

Si Mo’s lips curved into a smile, saying: ’I really like this temper of Little Ge’er.’

Mu Qingge heard this, awkwardly turned her face, and ignored Si Mo.

All around, there was nothing but cheering.

Standing under the arena, Zhu Ling strangely said, "Eh? Why did Mu Shidi’s cheeks suddenly turn red?"

Shang Zisu raised her eyes to look over, a hint of confusion flashing in her cool eyes, guessing: "Perhaps, it’s a great expenditure."

At this time, Zhao Nanxing walked up to the two women, and said to Zhu Ling: "The competition is over, according to the initial plan, I will first escort you out of Medicine Tower. Mu Shidi will come soon to take you away."

Zhu Ling’s expression became solemn and nodded slightly. She looked at Shang Zisu and said to her: "Zisu, take care, we’ll meet in the Qin Country."

Shang Zisu nodded and said to her: "You too, be careful with everything."

Zhu Ling quietly left with Zhao Nanxing.

After winning, Mu Qingge also quietly left the arena.

She already obtained the quota to deliver medicine and had no interest in the affairs afterward.

However, before leaving, Xia Tianwu extended an invitation to her, hoping she would come to the Medicine Tower Headquarters.

Mu Qingge understood the implication of these words; it meant for her to continue studying alchemy at the headquarters. She currently had no such plan, so she only gave a vague reply that they would depart for the headquarters three months later to brush it off.

Mu Qingge left the Medicine Tower slightly later and encountered Gu Ya right outside.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Qingge asked in surprise.

She remembered Gu Ya had been standing behind Si Mo just now.

Gu Ya remained cold-faced and said to Mu Qingge: "The master ordered me to attend to Little Lord."

"I don’t need it." Mu Qingge frowned and refused.

Gu Ya said: "The master said you would need it."

Mu Qingge frowned tighter: "Is this forced buying and selling?"

Gu Ya’s face turned dark, secretly complaining: Forced buying and selling? Treating him like goods?

However, he dared not get angry and continued saying to Mu Qingge: "It’s better for Little Lord to keep me, it will be useful sooner or later."

Mu Qingge felt Gu Ya’s words had hidden meanings but had no time to figure it out now. Reluctantly, she said: "As usual, hide in the dark, and I’ll call you when I need you."

Gu Ya nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared before Mu Qingge.

Resolving the matter with Gu Ya, Mu Qingge quickly headed towards the small courtyard in Sangzhi City.

...

When Mu Qingge arrived at the small courtyard, Zhao Nanxing and Zhu Ling were already sitting under the tree drinking tea, with You He and Hua Yue attending beside them.

Seeing her enter, the two women hurried over and called: "Little Lord."

Mu Qingge nodded slightly and walked towards Zhao Nanxing and Zhu Ling.

Zhao Nanxing stood up and praised Mu Qingge: "Mu Shidi, you fought beautifully in the last match against Diao Yuan today. Thanks to your reminders, we coordinated seamlessly and didn’t let Hua Cangzhu’s disciples snag a single spot."

Mu Qingge smiled.

Zhu Ling continued: "Thank you, Mu Shidi. With this, even if I board the ship, I’ll be much safer."

Mu Qingge waved her hand: "No need to be so polite, Zhu Shijie. Now, everything is proceeding according to our plan, but we mustn’t let our guard down. Having lost to us, Diao Yuan must hate us to the bone. Angered, Hua Cangzhu might drive him to do something extreme. So, pack up, and let’s leave."

Zhu Ling nodded and said to Mu Qingge: "I have nothing to pack, we can leave anytime."

"In that case, let’s leave now." Mu Qingge said.

"I’ll accompany Mu Shidi to escort you," Zhao Nanxing said.

Mu Qingge did not refuse Zhao Nanxing’s company; the three of them and both You He and Hua Yue headed out of the city together.

On the way, Mu Qingge asked You He about the situation in Li Country.

You He said: "After Feng Yugui returned to the country in disgrace, his reputation fell drastically due to the notoriety of stealing medicine and harming others. Combined with Feng Yufei’s sudden return, he’s utterly overwhelmed, trying to salvage his reputation while also actively suppressing Feng Yufei. Little Lord, what should we do next?"

Mu Qingge said: "Let Feng Yufei go and keep him company for now."

You He nodded, understanding Mu Qingge’s intention.

The five of them arrived at the agreed location with Mo Yang, where Mo Yang was already waiting with a group of Dragon Tooth Guards.

Beside them stood Mu Qingge’s carriage.

Mu Qingge vaguely sensed something amiss; from Mo Yang’s expression, she seemed to feel something had happened.

With this thought, Mu Qingge immediately quickened her pace and approached Mo Yang first.

Upon seeing Mu Qingge, Mo Yang came forward immediately, whispering to her: "Little Lord, Old Lord has had an accident!"

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed sharply, her face turned stern, and she asked: "What happened?"

Mo Yang immediately said: "Subordinate just received the news recently. It’s from the dark chess we placed in Luodu. A few days ago, some people suddenly arrived in Luodu, and we don’t know what they said to the Emperor, but the Young Emperor has put the Regent King under house arrest and also locked Old Lord and the First Miss in the Heavenly Prison."

Mu Qingge’s breath turned cold, her clear eyes showed no visible emotions.

"Mu Shidi, what’s wrong?" Zhao Nanxing just arrived, catching a glimpse of Mu Qingge’s cold demeanor.

Mu Qingge turned towards him and said: "Brother Zhao, please go back to the Medicine Tower and inform my teacher that there’s an emergency at home, and I must return to handle it. Three months later, we will meet again in Mu City, Qin Country."

Zhao Nanxing frowned and asked: "What happened? Do you need my help?"

Mu Qingge shook her head slowly, telling Zhao Nanxing: "This matter, brother can’t help me. I have to deal with it personally."

Zhao Nanxing nodded, sighed, and said: "Anyway, if there’s anything you need help with, feel free to find me."

Mu Qingge nodded, asked Zhu Ling to board the carriage, and herself mounted the Black Flame that Mo Yang had retrieved. You He and Hua Yue also got into the carriage.
