Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Xie Wanning came to Si Jinchuan's side and found a seat.

As soon as she sat down, Xie Wanning noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, even Si Jinchuan's eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to panic. I'm just here to join in the fun." Xie Wanning smiled gently at everyone, her beautiful eyes crinkling, looking so sweet and adorable.

The crowd on the stage blinked in surprise. Xu Weilin's harmless appearance was completely different from her previous ability to take on ten people with one punch. Was this still the same person?

Xie Wanning sat quietly in place, waiting for the competition to begin.

However, she noticed that Si Jinchuan looked hesitant to speak.

"Are you nervous, Brother Si? Don't worry about the competition. No matter what happens, I'll take care of you." Xie Wanning said confidently with a smile, "I'm someone who can't even refine a first-grade recovery pill. No one is worse than me."

Xie Wanning's voice was loud, attracting the attention of the surrounding disciples.

They were all speechless. Was Xu Weilin just here to cause trouble?

Indeed, Xie Wanning came here to cause trouble; she was going to make a scene, after all, she had already taken their money.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Xu, with that air of certain victory, are you going to put on a show of your alchemy furnace exploding for us?" Xia Mengqi had been watching Xie Wanning's every move closely. Hearing that she couldn't even refine a first-grade recovery pill, Xia Mengqi was no longer worried. Instead, she came up to Xie Wanning and said sarcastically.

Xie Wanning frowned, touching her chin, seemingly deep in thought.

Suddenly, her eyes shone like the sun at dawn, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Xia has such sharp eyes! How did you know I was going to explode the alchemy furnace?" As she spoke, she patted Xia Mengqi's shoulder warmly.

Xia Mengqi had hoped to see Xie Wanning looking dejected, but Xie Wanning acted as if he were seeing a good brother, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

"Hmph! I knew you couldn't refine pills. Get off the stage now." Xia Mengqi turned her back and fled from Xie Wanning as if she were escaping.

Xie Wanning tilted her head. This unruly senior sister of the Nine Cauldrons Division was really strange.

After returning to her seat, Xie Wanning saw Si Jinchuan take out a simple second-grade alchemy furnace and sit attentively waiting for the competition to begin.

“Brother Si, how can you use such a low-grade alchemy furnace if you want to refine pills? I’ll give you this alchemy furnace.” Xie Wanning placed a seventh-grade alchemy furnace, which was radiating golden light and looked priceless, in front of Si Jinchuan.

Si Jinchuan opened his mouth to refuse, but Xie Wanning lowered her voice and leaned closer, saying, "Brother Si, there's no need to be polite. These are all good things from Senior Wei. Why not take them?"

Seeing Xie Wanning's furtive appearance, Si Jinchuan suppressed the corners of his mouth from turning up and replied calmly, "Alright, thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Don't be so polite with me." Xie Wanning patted Si Jinchuan on the shoulder and returned to her seat.

Only Si Jinchuan remained frozen in place.

Xie Wanning sat there, idly drawing circles on the ground.

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears.

It was Ye Qianqian's voice.

[System, is this true? Xu Weilin can't refine pills?]

[Through rigorous calculations, this system has discovered that Xu Weilin has absolutely no knowledge of alchemy.]

[That's good. Now my only opponent is Xia Mengqi. But Xia Mengqi can refine sixth-grade pills, so she's definitely not someone to be underestimated. System, I want to pay 100 points to improve my pill-refining ability.]

[Thank you for your patronage, host. You now have 750 points. Having spent 100 points to exchange for alchemy skills, you now have 650 points remaining, bringing your alchemy skills to the level of a seventh-tier alchemist.]

Ye Qianqian pondered for a moment. Her alchemy skills had already reached the level of a fifth-level alchemist. Although jumping two levels was a bit exaggerated, it was good that she could win the competition.

"Yes, I'm definitely the champion of this competition. As for that Xu Weilin, she should just get off the stage as soon as possible."

A smug smile appeared on Ye Qianqian's lips, completely unaware that Xie Wanning's gaze had never left her.

Xie Wanning pressed her temples.

It seems she needs to make a scene; she just can't stand Ye Qianqian.

However, what is this system, and how can it tell that she has no alchemy ability?

Could it be the remnant soul of some ascended great being?

Before Xie Wanning could think further, the competition began.

"The alchemy competition officially begins. The rules are that whoever can refine the most pills of the highest grade in the shortest amount of time will win," Wei Changsheng announced on the stage, waving his right hand.

The wall behind him was suddenly moved aside, revealing another secret room.

This secret room is filled with all kinds of spiritual herbs, all of which are of grade seven or above.

"These are all materials for your alchemy; take them as you like," Wei Changsheng said generously.

The disciples on each platform were initially taken aback, followed by deafening cheers.

"There are so many spiritual herbs, I might not be able to find them even if I explored ten secret realms."

"They are all high-grade spiritual herbs. No wonder it is the herb garden of an ascended great power."

"Great, at least we won't go home empty-handed."

……

Everyone entered the herb garden, selected suitable medicinal herbs, and prepared to begin refining elixirs.

Xie Wanning glanced at Wei Changsheng, surprised that he had so many good things hidden away.

Xia Mengqi and Ye Qianqian took a large pile of spiritual herbs and returned to their original spot. They carefully processed the herbs, washing, drying, and weighing them before carefully placing them into the cauldron. They then took out their respective spiritual fires and began refining pills, the fragrant aroma of the herbs spreading all around.

Every alchemist needs spiritual fire when cultivating pills. Spiritual fire can come from one's own fire spiritual root, but most alchemists do not have a fire spiritual root, so they go to the cultivation world to find inextinguishable spiritual fire formed from condensed spiritual energy.

The Undying Spiritual Flame has ten grades, from bottom to top. The purer the spiritual flame, the easier it is to successfully refine pills, and the higher the grade of the pill.

Xia Mengqi and Ye Qianqian both possessed eighth-grade spiritual fire.

After all, a ninth-grade spiritual fire has only appeared once in the last hundred years, and it disappeared after being bought by a mysterious alchemist.

The tenth-grade spirit fire is a legendary spirit fire that no one has ever seen.

Xie Wanning picked herbs aimlessly in the herb garden. Although she did not recognize these spiritual herbs, she was inexplicably familiar with their scent.

After careful observation, Si Jinchuan selected the necessary medicinal herbs and prepared to leave.

"Brother Si, wait a moment." Xie Wanning called out to Si Jinchuan and handed him a talisman.

It is a sixth fret articulated note.

"Remember to use this talisman to block out sound when you're refining pills. I believe you'll be able to refine good pills." Xie Wanning smiled quietly, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Si Jinchuan accepted the talisman, nodded his thanks, and left.

He missed the fleeting slyness in Xie Wanning's eyes.

Xie Wanning returned to her seat, where all the disciples were meticulously refining pills. The occasional popping sound indicated that someone's pill furnace had exploded.

However, everyone was already used to it. After all, after years of alchemy, which alchemist's furnace wouldn't explode?

Xie Wanning rummaged through her storage bag and finally found an eighth-grade alchemy furnace made of millennium-old diamond.

The entire furnace was pitch black, almost as tall as Xie Wanning, and weighed 500 kilograms. It made a dull thud when placed on the ground.

Xie Wanning nodded in satisfaction. After washing all the medicinal herbs, she neither dried them nor chopped them.

They were all thrown into the alchemy furnace.

Afterwards, Xie Wanning set up a protective barrier around the area to ensure that no one would be injured.

Xie Wanning flew to the top of the alchemy furnace and put the lid on.

With everything ready, Xie Wanning leaped back to the ground and took out her secret weapon from her storage bag.
