He extended his hand, but didn't hand it over to Murong Ling, instead, it went past her shoulder and landed in front of Li Cangmin. As he expected, Prince Qin immediately snatched the pill and swallowed it.

"Ya, Prince Qin has eaten." He even pretended to exclaim, then looked at Murong Ling, "Princess Qin, do you still remember the rules of the bet?"

Murong Ling said with an ashen face, "Of course."

Jiang Mingzhong returned to his seat in satisfaction, but just as he sat down, his expression changed. The pain in his body was unbearable, he immediately ordered the medicine boy, "Take two taels of beef yolk, licorice root …"

On the other side of the stage, Murong Ling stared at Li Cangmin coldly, "This is my fight, who asked you to interfere?"

Li Cangmin glanced at her, his expression calm. He did not answer her question, but rather explained the poison in an orderly manner, "Once the entrance is filled with poison mist, once the poison mist is used, the poison mist will seep into the lungs along with the elemental energy, causing the elemental energy to stagnate and the meridians to crack."

"This effect is very similar to the Pulse Breaking Pill in the pill manual."

The cyan purple poison had already spread to his face, and Murong Ling no longer bothered to get angry at him, as she started to look through the pill records in the pill manual, finally finding a medicinal formula called the Meridian Breaking Pill.

In contrast to the Meridian Accumulation Pill, the Meridian Breaking Pill was a very sinister pill that destroyed a cultivator's foundation and cultivation base. After a cultivator consumed it, all of his meridians would be destroyed and he would be unable to cultivate. Slowly, he would become no different from a mortal and his body would eventually rot and die. Fortunately, there was the Meridian Breaking Pill Detoxification Pill in the pill manual — Meridian Opening Pill, but Murong Ling had never refined it before, so she was not completely confident.

"Leng Qiu, I still lack a stalk of Extreme Ice Grass. Go and find it for me."

Fortunately, there were countless of them in the city, so they could be bought. After Leng Qiu left, Murong Ling took out the newly bought pill furnace from the medicine box and looked at it, "The pill furnace that I have given you is here."

Murong Ling's movements froze, "Blast it to pieces."

Li Cangmin did not reveal any change in expression due to her violence. He calmly took out another pill furnace and passed it to her, "Use this, a mortal pill furnace cannot take a Pill Fire." His voice paused, reminding him, "This is the last one."

Grand Master was also an ice attribute cultivator like him, he could not refine pills, so naturally he would not be able to gather any good pill furnaces. The two pills in the storage ring might just be placed conveniently, and their quality was not very good, but compared to Mo Ding, they could be considered as high quality.

The new pill furnace looked exactly the same as the previous one, and should have been made in the same batch. Murong Ling quietly put away the newly bought Fan Ding, and felt an inexplicable awkwardness.

She had to change the subject. "What do you think now?"

"No problem." Li Cangmin looked down at her, "As long as you don't use your spirit energy, it's fine."

His line of sight was obviously calm, but Murong Ling felt that it was warm. She immediately turned her head to the side, avoiding his line of sight.

Seeing his complexion lighten a little, she knew that it was useful and was about to pinch him again, but she was stopped by Li Cangmin. He firmly held her hand in his palm, dry and warm. "Don't waste your elemental energy. You still need to concoct pills later."

Murong Ling looked like she was scalded and immediately retracted her hand. Her mind spun, but he did not look at him, "I understand."

The audience below the arena was growing larger and larger. Fortunately, the arena was built well enough so that it didn't collapse from the pressure.

This stage was built by Jiang Mingzhong, and the layout of the stage was his idea. The two sides of the sparring field was divided into two sections, and a small room was built on each side. The room was about half the height of a person, and the fighters were sparring in the room. Everyone could only see the people busy inside, but their concocting, matching, and refining techniques were concealed very well.

He was originally attached to him and did not want others to secretly learn his medicine, but Murong Ling took advantage of him and openly used her spirit energy without anyone noticing. As for where he was, it was useless to hide, the Spiritual Sense had spread out, there was nothing to hide.

Seeing the medicine he asked the medicine boy to prepare, Murong Ling could not help but smile. Her poison was not so easy to cure.

The original name of the bottle just now wasn't this, it was something she had obtained at a casual whim. This poison was a new, weakened version that she had developed from her laboratory in her previous life. Other than her, no one else had been able to concoct an antidote. Jiang Mingzhong viewed it as an ordinary poison, but in the end, he suffered.

Not long after, Leng Qiu who had gone out to look for medicinal herbs returned. Murong Ling confirmed that it was indeed a spirit herb, and nodded her head in satisfaction, telling her to wait outside and begin refining the pills. The maximum duration of the competition was four hours. It was equivalent to the time needed to forge a cauldron of pills. This meant that she could only succeed and not fail.

He once again memorized the hand techniques and pill formulas to ensure that there were no mistakes, and then released the Pill Fire to heat up the furnace.

In the previous three days, she had already tested all the temperatures, so she could accurately grasp the timing. Fifteen minutes later, the pill furnace was completely hot. She calmly put the Extreme Frost Grass in, waited for it to melt, and then put down the already prepared spiritual herbs one by one.

She lowered the temperature of the Pill Fire and after about twenty minutes, the liquid inside the furnace started to boil and the water started to evaporate. She quickly reached into the furnace and split the Spiritual Sense into ten parts.

Murong Ling did not dare to be negligent, the cheers and clamor of the audience had disappeared into the distance, her mind was focused on the medicinal pills in the furnace, until the medicinal fragrance slowly came, she knew that the pill had been completed.

In the morning at the Duke Palace, she had been affected by Jiang Yunyin's voice and thus, the Spiritual Sense had been violently fluctuating, which was why the pill had exploded during the pill collection segment. Currently, there was not a single fluctuation in her heart.

She decisively made a hand seal to withdraw the pill, and the medicinal fragrance that suffused the air immediately disappeared without a trace. Only then did she reveal a slight smile. "Success."

Even she didn't expect that the first batch of successfully concocted pills would be the Pulse Opening Pill instead of the Meridian Accumulation Pill that she had practiced for many days. It could only be said that a person's potential was limitless.

He handed one pill after the other to Prince Qin. Seeing that he had taken one and swallowed it, she did not seem to have any inkling of what was going on, but the purple color on his face had already started to drop. She could not hold back her joy and nervousness, and asked repeatedly, "How is it, is it effective?"

The strong and fragrant medicinal fragrance spread into his mouth. Li Cangmin seemed to be bewitched by the smell of the medicine, and couldn't help but be attracted by her bright eyes, which were shining like the stars in the sky, and burned like the heart of a man.

He remembered that she had mentioned his pride and arrogance when she mentioned that he knew medicine concocting. That was why when he saw the pill furnace and the pill chip in Grand Master's storage ring, he immediately thought of her. He liked to see her pure joy.

As expected, she did not let him down, and she was even more outstanding than he had imagined. In just three short days, not only had she summoned her Pill Fire, she had even become an extremely skilled pill refiner.

Li Cangmin's gaze unknowingly became scorching hot. Suddenly, he felt pain in his chest, which jolted him awake, and he immediately retracted his gaze. An aloof and cold indifference once again hung on his face, as if the infatuation from a moment ago had never existed.

"The princess is very powerful. The poison has already been cured."
