Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647: Chapter 82: Did She Really Forge a Divine Artifact Already?

Looking forward to it...

Mu Qingge restrained her gaze, long lashes shielding the emotions in her eyes.

’Judging by the expressions of the Second Elder and the Third Elder, it seems they’ve also heard about what happened during her bloodline awakening. They have high hopes for her!’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.

Standing in the white circle, Mu Qingge awaited the start of the competition.

Suddenly, she felt a few gazes fall upon her and looked up.

Among the dense crowd, she easily found those who were looking at her.

One of them was Sang Zilan, whom she’d met before at Sunset Grassland.

The other was a man she didn’t recognize, but when she looked at him, he didn’t avoid her gaze and politely nodded his head.

Besides these two gazes, there was another rather elusive glance, and Mu Qingge’s eyes lightly moved to focus on the person.

Upon seeing him, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Isn’t this the same person who called Mu Yichen useless during her bloodline test, and then was in turn called useless by her?

As her gaze fell, the person hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet her eyes.

Her lips curled into a sneer, a fleeting expression on Mu Qingge’s breathtaking face.

Once she retracted her gaze, her eyes met with Mu Xuewu beside her.

Mu Xuewu gave her a sweet smile, a contrast to her usual cold and noble demeanor. However...

Mu Qingge pondered for a moment and realized that ever since Mu Xuewu discovered her identity, she hadn’t exhibited her cold and noble demeanor in front of her.

"Boss, are you nervous?" Mu Xuewu suddenly asked softly.

Nervous? How could that be?

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head. She had long since learned to control her emotions; nervousness never appeared in her experiences.

"Alright, everyone is here, let’s begin now." The Second Elder stood up and addressed the thousand people standing in the white circle on the square.

The moment he spoke, everyone in the square fell silent, and the audience maintained absolute silence.

The Second Elder stood on the platform, his solemn gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "The competition will last for three days. During these three days, do your best to craft weapons and do not be influenced by others. The ultimate winner of this competition will receive ten drops of Forbidden Condensed Liquid as a reward, so put forth your effort!"

"Forbidden Condensed Liquid!"

"The reward this time is Forbidden Condensed Liquid!"

"That’s insane!"

"Heh, since the reward this time is ten drops of Forbidden Condensed Liquid, no one better compete with me, I’m definitely taking first place!"

"With just you? I think it’s a first place at the bottom instead."

"Those ten drops of Forbidden Condensed Liquid are destined for me."

"Destined for you? I think they’re destined for Xuewu. Every year, she’s taken first place in the clan competition."

"That might not be the case. This time her brother is here, and with such high talent, his bloodline concentration has reached Level 10, and most importantly, he’s also a Treasure Level Refiner."

"That’s different, he hasn’t learned from our clan. The methods he used before for refining might be unconventional at best. In terms of quality, how can he compare to our Sang Clan’s orthodoxy?"

"Looks like this competition is going to be a battle between dragons and tigers!"

The announcement of the competition’s rewards sent the entire arena into an uproar.

All around, there were various conversations taking place.

Sang Zilan’s eyes burned with fervor as her gaze drifted to Sang Xingyu not far away, softly saying, "Don’t forget what I asked you to do."

Sang Xingyu’s face immediately fell as he replied to Sang Zilan, "Please spare me. It was easy when we didn’t know his capabilities. Now, knowing his talent and bloodline concentration far exceed ours, and that he’s a Treasure Level Refiner, how could I possibly provoke him? Haven’t you noticed even the Supreme Elders have come out for him? In previous family competitions, have you ever seen the Supreme Elders attend?"

His words left Sang Zilan speechless.

She stomped her foot in irritation.

She understood the logic, but couldn’t swallow the indignation from being driven out of Dragon Tooth Camp back then.

"Zilan, didn’t Second Grandfather say not to provoke Mu Qingge?" Sang Ye gently advised by her side.

Sang Zilan bit her lip, her eyes showing a fierce light.

"Zilan, don’t be rash! The Supreme Elders are present!" Seeing her sullen expression, Sang Ye hurriedly said.

Sang Zilan glared at him and tightly pressed her lips together, thinking: ’Since no one dares to provoke you, I can at least beat you in the competition, can’t I? Besides, I want those ten drops of Forbidden Condensed Liquid too!’

She was also a Treasure Level Refiner and had begun to aim for Divine Level Refiner.

If, in this competition, she performed exceptionally and managed to craft a Divine Artifact, wouldn’t she be able to defeat everyone? By then, she’d like to see what qualifications Sang Xuewu and Mu Qingge would have to act arrogantly in front of her.

"Quiet, all of you." After allowing some time for the discussions, the Second Elder opened his mouth again and continued, "You’re all clear about the rewards and the rules. If anyone is found cheating during the competition, they will be disqualified. Do you understand?"

"Understood—!" Nearly a thousand people responded in unison, creating quite the momentum.

"Good, since everyone is clear, let’s begin." The Second Elder finished speaking, swished his sleeves, and turned to return to his previous seat.

Refining is a lengthy process of waiting.

At the Second Elder’s command, nearly a thousand people standing in the white circle took out their pre-prepared refining materials from their Sumeru Rings and placed them in front of themselves, each making their preparations for refining.

Outside the white circle, many of the Sang Clan’s stewards patrolled back and forth, observing the participants to see if there were any violations.

Mu Qingge stood within the circle, unhurried and without any movement, merely watching the preparations of the other Sang clan members, her eyes carrying a hint of curiosity.

In the audience, seeing Mu Qingge standing still, Bai Xi frowned in confusion, "What’s wrong with Qingge? Others have all started, but she’s still not moving."

"Yeah, why isn’t the boss starting?" Mu Yichen also looked anxious.

"Why are you so anxious? Qingge has her own plans." Hearing their needless worries, Jiang Li couldn’t help but comment.

She understood Mu Qingge and knew that her inaction now was not due to any mishap, but simply because it wasn’t time for her to act yet.

Jiang Li’s words eased the crowd’s concerns a bit.

"Boss, why haven’t you started?" After taking out the materials for her own refining, Mu Xuewu noticed Mu Qingge hadn’t made a move and asked in puzzlement.

Mu Qingge turned her gaze towards her and noticed among her materials was the Mystic Armor Dragon Rhinoceros Skin obtained from the Canglan Mountain Range.

Seeing Mu Qingge’s sight on the Mystic Armor Dragon Rhinoceros Skin, Mu Xuewu shyly lowered her gaze and softly said, "I’ve been stuck at Treasure Level for a while now. Today, I hope to take this opportunity to advance to Divine Level Refiner. The Mystic Armor Dragon Rhinoceros Skin is unbelievably tough, and with its defensive capabilities, I hope to craft a set of Divine Level Armor."

Mu Qingge nodded lightly and simply said, "Do your best."

The two simple words were the greatest encouragement in Mu Xuewu’s ears. Her back straightened more and she nodded firmly to Mu Qingge, fiery determination burning in her beautiful eyes.

Before long, everyone except for Mu Qingge had taken out their refining materials, and some quick workers had already begun refining.

Her lack of movement thus became a striking presence.

"What’s wrong with the youngster? Could she be nervous?" The Second Supreme Elder joked upon seeing Mu Qingge remain motionless.

King Sang Shun laughed, "This child has many thoughts, it’s unlikely she’s nervous. She’s probably waiting to see the movements of her opponents first."

The Second Supreme Elder smiled and nodded, offering a reminder, "Let’s hope she doesn’t miss the timing."

On the square, everyone had begun refining.

Alchemists need a Pill Furnace for alchemy.

Artifact Refiners also need a Refining Furnace.

However, the Sang Clan’s refining techniques have surpassed the need for a Refining Furnace. They rely on their own Spiritual Power, alongside Beast Fire or Earth Fire, to refine.

So, inadequate cultivation becomes a hindrance to improving refining techniques.

Mu Qingge observed keenly, noticing almost all the participating disciples of the Sang Clan had a small pouch hanging from their waist, emitting the scent of elixirs.

When she smelled it, she knew the elixir’s purpose was to restore Spiritual Power, though it was merely some common Intermediate or Advanced Elixir.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge understood why Mu Xuewu had visited Mei Zizhong two days ago.

’It seems to be an elixir for restoring spiritual power.’ Mu Qingge looked at Mu Xuewu and indeed saw a bag emitting the scent of elixir hanging from her waist.

Mu Xuewu had not yet begun artifact refining. She merely arranged the materials and then walked towards Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, unsure what she intended to do.

Mu Xuewu came up to her, removed the elixir pouch from her waist, and said to Mu Qingge, "Boss, the refining process consumes a lot of spiritual power. A few days ago, I asked Master Mei to make some elixirs for restoring spiritual power. I also asked him to make some for you, but he said you wouldn’t need them."

She pursed her lips and continued, "Fortunately, he is a Treasure Level alchemist, so his elixirs are stronger. I can’t use them all, so I’ll give you half."

With that, she handed the pouch to Mu Qingge.

But Mu Qingge raised a hand to block her action.

Seeing Mu Xuewu’s surprised expression, she smiled lightly and said, "He’s right, I don’t need them."

"But..." Mu Xuewu said anxiously.

Mu Qingge pushed the pouch back to her and said, "Focus on your artifact refining, don’t worry about me."

Helplessly, Mu Xuewu returned to her circle and reattached the Treasure Level elixir pouch to her waist.

"Master Mei, didn’t you prepare elixirs for restoring spiritual power for the boss?" Mu Yichen saw Mu Xuewu’s actions and turned his head to ask Mei Zizhong.

Mei Zizhong shook his head slowly, not looking too concerned.

Mu Yichen slapped his forehead and said, "It’s all my fault. I should have reminded the boss earlier."

"Why blame yourself? If the boss wanted elixirs, would she need Master Mei’s help?" Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Mu Yichen glared at him.

Yuanyuan shook his head and said, "I don’t mean anything."

Mu Yichen was a bit puzzled, his eyes scanning back and forth at those around him. Surprisingly, none of them displayed any concern, not even worried for Mu Qingge.

"Yichen, calm down." Sang Lanruo, who had been silent, spoke up.

Mu Yichen looked at her, baffled, and said, "Mother."

Sang Lanruo’s eyes showed some hidden anxiety, but she controlled her emotions and comforted him, "It’s fine, Xuewu is beside Ge’er. If Ge’er runs out of spiritual power, she will know what to do."

Heeding his mother’s words, Mu Yichen temporarily set aside his worries and continued to watch the competition.

...

Clusters of fire rose from the palms of the Sang Clan disciples, floating to the front and gradually enlarged. The temperature of the entire square suddenly increased.

Bathed in firelight, the square appeared colorful and beautiful.

Various refining materials were thrown into the fire, using spiritual power to melt and mold them—this was the first step of the Sang Clan’s artifact refining technique...

Mu Qingge watched everyone refining artifacts with gusto, calmly drawing a lot of attention.

Some even failed in their refining due to their curious glances, forcing them to start over.

"What’s he doing? Not moving yet, waiting until we finish?" Sang Zilan continuously poured spiritual power into the fire, controlling the melting degree of the refining materials inside, and swept her gaze towards Mu Qingge’s position, feeling puzzled.

Sang Ye took a moment to say to her, "Don’t worry about others, concentrate on refining artifacts."

His words made Sang Zilan withdraw her gaze and suppress her curiosity, focusing on artifact refining.

"Why hasn’t he moved?" Mu Yichen said anxiously, watching as others turned their refining materials into various liquids while his boss had nothing in front of him, making him feel like an ant on a hot pan.

"Why rush? Isn’t the competition time three days? It’s fine to finish within three days." Yuanyuan was not anxious at all.

Mu Yichen turned his eyes to him, looked him up and down, and curiously asked, "Why are you still here?"

Yuanyuan was stunned and pointed to his nose, asking, "Where else would I be?"

Mu Yichen blinked and said, "You’re not my boss’s abnormal fire, are you? If you’re here, how can she refine artifacts?" After speaking, he suddenly realized, "Ah! I get it. My boss isn’t moving because you’re hiding here, making it impossible for her to refine artifacts."

He said this and went to grab Yuanyuan’s collar, seemingly wanting to throw him in front of Mu Qingge.

Yuanyuan knocked away his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don’t think just because you’re the boss’s brother and had drinks with me a few times, I won’t hit you!"

"It’s definitely because of you that my boss can only stand and watch!" Mu Yichen also got angry, reaching out to scuffle with Yuanyuan.

"Yichen, stop it!" Sang Lanruo urgently stopped him.

Mei Zizhong also spoke to Yuanyuan, "Now is not the time for fooling around. Qingge asked me to watch you."

Jiang Li poked his head over and scolded, "Both of you shut up! Why are you arguing?"

Others also cast displeased glances.

Stopped by everyone, Mu Yichen and Yuanyuan both snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

Mei Zizhong shook his head helplessly, glanced at Yuanyuan, and said to Mu Yichen, "Don’t worry. Even if Yuanyuan is here, it won’t affect Qingge in refining artifacts."

Hearing his explanation, Mu Yichen realized he wrongly blamed Yuanyuan.

He turned back, said to Yuanyuan, "Sorry...sorry! I was too impulsive, too reckless."

Yuanyuan’s lowered face gradually returned to normal, turning back and saying, "Forget it, you’re worried about the boss. To tell you the truth, the boss is just waiting for them to finish almost everything before she’ll begin."

"Why is that?" Mu Yichen asked, puzzled.

Yuanyuan immediately seemed proud, "Because of me!"

Mu Yichen wanted to pursue the question, but someone more urgent asked before him.

"Mu Qingge, why aren’t you moving?" The Second Elder stood up and shouted at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s motionless stance already intrigued many, but his shout attracted even more attention.

"Second, your shout might have affected the children’s refining." King Sang Shun frowned.

"Yes, Second Brother." The Third Elder also agreed.

The Second Elder’s expression turned awkward; he simply descended from the high platform, striding towards Mu Qingge. His movement prompted King Sang Shun to think and follow him.

On the platform, only the Third Elder and the Second Supreme Elder remained.

The Second Elder headed straight for Mu Qingge, came to her, and directly asked, "Why aren’t you moving?"

"Second, Ge’er must have her own plans, why are you anxious?" King Sang Shun advised the Second Elder before Mu Qingge spoke.

The Second Elder shook his head and said, "Family Head, it’s good to have talent, but we can’t spoil him. Everyone has started refining in this clan competition, yet he stands still—is he trying to show his uniqueness?"

After speaking, he looked at Mu Qingge, seemingly insisting she give an answer.

Mu Qingge looked calm, neither avoiding his gaze. She simply smiled, "Second Elder really wants me to start refining now?"

"Exactly." The Second Elder confirmed.

With a slight smile, Mu Qingge nodded, "Then as you wish."

She spoke, flipped her palm, and a cluster of Taichu Urgent Fire appeared in her hand out of thin air. Instantly, the entire square seemed like a sun had fallen inside.

"It’s so hot!"

"Why did it suddenly get so hot?"

The abrupt temperature change immediately caught everyone’s attention.

And at the moment Taichu Urgent Fire appeared, on the square, those Earth Fires and Beast Fires currently being refined became extremely unstable, flickered twice, and extinguished instantly.

Pop, pop, pop—

"Ah—! My fire’s out!"

"Mine’s out too!"

"My materials!"

"Wasted such good materials!"
