Shock! How could the useless Second Miss be a spiritual god?

"Master Zhou, how about you two compete in alchemy?"

The Sunset City Lord's voice was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal, but a cunning calculation flashed across his eyes.

Huo Linger looked coldly at the man sitting in the main seat, and a surge of anger rose in her heart. This man actually said such words in front of her.

If Zhou Donglai wins this competition, he will hand himself over to be slaughtered! This is simply treating her as a dead person, which is ridiculous!

No matter what the final result of this competition is, the one who truly benefits will always be him, the Lord of Sunset City.

"City Lord, what if I win?" Huo Ling'er's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of a faint smile in it, but the smile did not really reach her eyes.

When Zhou Donglai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into a shrill laugh. His face was full of pride and sarcasm, as if he thought Huo Linger's words were simply a huge joke.

"You want to win? Haha, stop daydreaming!"

He sneered mercilessly, with a confident gleam in his eyes.

He was absolutely sure of his ability in the field of alchemy.

In his opinion, this low-level alchemist who appeared out of nowhere could not be compared with him at all.

In fact, the Lord of Sunset City did not have high expectations for Huo Ling'er to win the game. He had always been very fond of Zhou Donglai, and he just wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and make him not be too proud.

However, he still gave Huo Ling'er enough face and said slowly: "If you can really win, I will agree to your three conditions. Is this okay?"

The Lord of Sunset City thought that if Huo Ling'er really won, then she would definitely be easier to control than Zhou Donglai.

Moreover, even if Huo Ling'er lost, the worst that could happen was that she would be killed.

Just continue to support Zhou Donglai in the future. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

It’s not a big loss for him anyway.

When Huo Ling'er saw this, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Then, she took out a black alchemy cauldron that Yan Yao had just found for her. If you look closely, you can still see the dark patterns on it. The aura emanating from the cauldron is simple and mysterious.

Zhou Donglai stared at the alchemy cauldron in Huo Ling'er's hand, his eyes revealing undisguised greed.

"How can Ling Ye be worthy of such a treasure? Only I am qualified to own such a rare treasure."

Thinking of this, Zhou Donglai became more and more proud. He believed that as long as he could win this competition and kill Ling Ye, everything the other party had would belong to him.

So he couldn't wait to take out a large amount of rare medicinal materials, intending to refine a seventh-grade intermediate elixir to show his true strength to everyone.

Not long ago, Zhou Donglai had successfully broken through to the realm of a seventh-grade alchemist. At this moment, he was full of confidence, thinking that Ling Ye's alchemy skills were definitely not comparable to his, and the outcome of this competition was already determined, and Ling Ye would inevitably die in the end.

As expected, when Zhou Donglai started to refine the elixir, the people around him exclaimed in amazement.

"Master Zhou actually made a breakthrough. This is so exciting!"

"Great! Having Master Zhou here is truly a blessing for Sunset City."

"That's right, Ling Ye is definitely finished this time!"

Zhou Donglai listened with pride to the flattery and praise from those around him.

His gaze was still on Huo Ling'er, as if he was looking at a dying person.

"What's going on with Lady Ling Ye? Lord Zhou has already started refining the herbs, but she's still just standing there staring blankly. Could it be that she feels that she can't win this game anyway, so she just gave up?"

"I think she must have been frightened by Master Zhou's miraculous alchemy skills."

"That's right. After all, Master Zhou is now a seventh-grade alchemist."

……

For a moment, people around were whispering to each other, and they all had an expression of watching a good show on their faces, as if they were full of anticipation for what was going to happen next.

At this moment, the guard stood beside the city lord with a solemn expression, his eyes fell on Huo Ling'er who was standing motionless in front of the tripod.

Although the other party looked calm and composed, he never started to refine the elixir.

This made him feel a little worried. After all, this man saved Zhao Jing's life, and he really didn't want to see her die so easily.

Although Zhou Donglai is a bit arrogant and domineering, it is undeniable that he is indeed a high-level alchemist.

Both his own level and actual alchemy ability are of very high attainments.

This Ling Ye doesn’t look very old, can he really beat him?

As the guard's thoughts turned, he had already made up his mind that if Ling Ye lost and the city lord wanted to kill him, he would try his best to protect him.

Huo Ling'er glanced at Zhou Donglai, who was standing opposite her with confidence, and didn't take the discussions around her to heart at all.

Before coming to Sunset City, she had already broken through to become a seventh-level alchemist.

As he became more and more in tune with the Star Soul, refining those natural treasures became as if it were something he was born with.

No matter how complicated the recipe is, she can remember it at a glance. As long as her mental power is improved, her alchemist level will naturally improve.

Huo Linger yawned lazily. Seeing that Zhou Donglai had finished refining the herbs and started to form the elixir, she also raised her hand and prepared to start refining the elixir.

Fire condensed from his fingertips and was thrown under the cauldron. The purple-red flame immediately awakened the cauldron. The ancient and extraordinary aura immediately attracted everyone in the audience.

"What kind of fire is this?"

“It’s actually purple!”

"This is a more advanced existence than ordinary flames. It can better refine the impurities in the herbs."

"And this tripod looks very powerful. What kind of tripod is it?"

"..."

Huo Ling'er remained unmoved. Her hands moved swiftly as she skillfully put all the herbs into the cauldron.

The movements are graceful and smooth.

Zhou Donglai turned slightly and glanced at Huo Ling'er out of the corner of his eye, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

"What a stupid person! Who would throw all the herbs into the alchemy furnace at once? Everyone puts them in one by one and then refines them slowly.

It seems that Ling Ye has no idea how to make pills, and is simply courting his own death."

"Even if her precious cauldron doesn't explode, she won't be able to refine high-quality pills."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

仅仅过了一会儿。

Zhou Donglai's alchemy furnace suddenly made a low humming sound.

Then, he gently waved his sleeves, and three jade-white, round and smooth pills slowly appeared before his eyes.

"Look, Zhou Donglai has successfully refined the elixir!"

"It's really Master Zhou who completed the alchemy so quickly."

"I wonder what the quality of these pills is like?"

"He must be very outstanding. After all, Master Zhou is a seventh-grade alchemist."

When Zhou Donglai heard the praises from the people around him, a smug look appeared on his face and he looked at Huo Ling'er provocatively.

It is a seventh-grade intermediate silence pill with seven clear lines on it and good quality.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Sunset City. Zhou Donglai is indeed worthy of being the number one alchemist in Sunset City!

The quality of the pills refined here is very high. I hope that this effort will get a greater reward.

"Yes, Master Zhou's strength has indeed improved."

The Lord of Sunset City praised Zhou Donglai generously.

The people on the side echoed: "Yes, Master Zhou's alchemy skills are getting better and better!"

"With a master like Master Zhou, the future of our Sunset City will definitely be even better!"

Just when everyone was about to start praising Zhou Donglai, Huo Ling'er suddenly stopped what she was doing.
