Chapter 1168: I Haven’t Said it Ended

Dead silence.

Everyone looked at the smiling young man in shock as they lost their words at that moment. It’s done… He actually merged the pills successfully ?!

“That’s impossible!” yelled Liu Zi’an suddenly. He stared at Chu Liuyue closely, and his eyes burned with disbelief as if they wanted to burn a hole in Chu Liuyue’s body! “That pill is definitely problematic!”

Chu Liuyue wasn’t annoyed as her smile didn’t falter at all. “Since you’re so sure of it, why don’t you come and verify it yourself?”

Seeing how confident Chu Liuyue was, Liu Zi’an became increasingly uneasy, and his heart seemed to be tightly clutched by something!

I clearly just saw that Chu Yue was about to fail, but who would’ve thought he actually managed to save it in the end! Liu Zi’an kept comforting himself. Impossible… Even a ninth-grade heavenly doctor might not have a method in the previous situation, let alone Chu Yue? Even if his pill looks fine, t-there was such a big commotion previously. I don’t believe that there can be a completely undamaged pill! This Chu Yue is most likely putting on an act!

Thinking of this, Liu Zi’an felt more assured. He calmed himself down and walked forward.



“It seems like you’re pretty confident in yourself, Junior Brother Chu Yue,” said Liu Zi’an coldly. “Since this is so, why don’t you take yours out first?”

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Senior Brother Liu, you finished your pill first. Why don’t you take it out first?”

Liu Zi’an ground his teeth and felt increasingly certain that this child was guilty.

He coldly snorted and picked up his jade box—everyone’s gazes landed on it. Then, Liu Zi’an opened the jade box.

A red, dragon eye-sized pill lay within quietly.

Everyone could see the lines on it clearly. It’s indeed an inferior ninth-grade pill!

“Have you seen it clearly?” Liu Zi’an’s tone had a hint of annoyance.

Just when he was about to close the jade box, Chu Liuyue suddenly said, “Hold on.”

Liu Zi’an knitted his brows. “What else do you want?”

Chu Liuyue pointed at his jade box. “Senior Brother Liu, your pill… seems to be faulty.”

Liu Zi’an’s expression changed slightly. “What nonsense are you talking about!? This pill is an inferior-class ninth-grade pill! Everyone saw it clearly, so how can it have a problem?!”

His voice sounded more enraged and frustrated.

Chu Liuyue’s expression didn’t change as she still smiled warmly. “Senior Brother Liu, although I’m just an eighth-grade heavenly doctor and can’t compare to you, a ninth-grade one… I’ve seen ninth-grade pills before. Just now, the color of your pill seemed off. Senior Brother Liu, do you mind if you bring the pill up for us to take a closer look?”

Liu Zi’an’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. This kid—how could he tell?

“On what basis are you doubting my pill?” asked Liu Zi’an lowly as he clutched the jade box tightly.

Chu Liuyue blinked. “This is a challenge, and we’re competing in this. Isn’t it normal to bring out your pill for everyone to see it clearly? Senior Brother Liu, are you so resistant because you… don’t dare?”

Liu Zi’an was stumped. I really can’t reject him in front of everyone!

He was so angry that he laughed. “Okay! Since this is so, don’t forget to do this later too!”

Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. “Of course. Senior Brother Liu, go ahead!”

Now, Liu Zi’an was caught between a rock and a hard place. He clenched his teeth and opened his jade box to take out the pill within.

“Hey! That pill does seem to have spots!” Gasps could be heard from the crowd.

Liu Zi’an looked at that person harshly, and his gaze was sharp.

The person talking fell silent immediately, but everyone had already heard it. Besides, everyone had eyes of their own. Even if that person didn’t say it, they could tell that there was a dark spot on the pill.

Actually, the spot was only the size of a green bean and was very unassuming on this red pill. However… this meant that this pill’s quality was highly discounted!

“Si… So Liu Zi’an didn’t even produce his pill properly?”

“With such a huge spot, can this pill be considered as a ninth-grade pill?”

“The medicinal efficacy is messy, and it isn’t separated evenly… Such a pill won’t be very effective even if it’s a ninth-grade one, right?”

The crowd partook in heated discussions. Some heavenly doctors even gave harsher comments.

Liu Zi’an’s face flashed white and red as if he were being tortured. Previously, I was worried about this problem, and I didn’t expect it to actually occur! I originally wanted to muddle my way through, but who knew that Chu Yue would be so cunning!?

He braved himself and accepted all sorts of gazes from the crowd as he glared at Chu Liuyue furiously. “You! Now, it’s your turn to take out your pill for everyone to judge, right?!”

Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and opened her jade box without hesitation to take out the pill.

This pill was the size of a normal pill, but its color was very special. Emerald green and light blue each took up half of the pill in a very distinct separation, and the colors were very rich!

The pill had a smooth and tidy surface, glowing with a faint light. With just one glance, they knew that the medicinal effects were merged well.

However, this wasn’t the most important point. The most important thing was that the lines on the pill were exactly the same as Liu Zi’an’s Greater Mastery pill.

The pill Chu Liuyue produced was clearly also an inferior ninth-grade one!

When he saw the perfect color and shape of the pill, Liu Zi’an felt very uneasy.

This uneasiness evolved to the extreme when he saw the same lines! Almost at the same time, he knew that he had lost this match!

Shua!

The last bit of color on his face disappeared!

The surrounding spectators broke into an uproar after a temporary silence. “Inferior ninth-grade! Chu Yue’s pill is also an inferior ninth-grade one!”

“And this pill looks even stronger than Liu Zi’an’s! So he wins this round, right?!”

“I really couldn’t tell that this Chu Yue was so strong!”

“Haha! One that can be accepted by Elder Wan Zheng naturally isn’t ordinary! Liu Zi’an originally wanted to use his ninth-grade heavenly doctor identity to suppress the other party, but the latter made a comeback! This time… he’s completely humiliated!”

All sorts of voices came one after another.

Liu Zi’an’s heart beat wildly, and his face burned!

He never thought that Chu Yue would actually succeed! Previously, he still thought that Chu Yue’s pill was faulty, but the truth was now out. He stood so near and could see very clearly that Chu Yue’s pill was indeed more outstanding than his!

He couldn’t even say a word of defense.

Chu Liuyue looked at him. “Senior Brother Liu, have you taken a good look at it?”

Liu Zi’an ground his teeth and said with hatred, “You win!”

Then, he flung his sleeves and was about to leave.

“Hold on.” Chu Liuyue’s voice came from behind.

Liu Zi’an turned around and furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze filled with hatred. “What else do you want?!”

Chu Liuyue smiled, and her eyes curved up. Then, she slowly said, “Did I say that this match has ended?”
