110: You guys are so unlucky!

Boom!

Fierce flames erupted from Liu Xingwen's palm. Facing Xu Xi's provocation, Liu Xingwen also burst forth with an unprecedented sense of conviction.

Immediately after, his Pill Furnace was taken out of his storage bag. Mysterious runes were engraved on the ancient Pill Cauldron, and formations were activated by Liu Xingwen.

Then, the medicinal ingredients were stacked inside. Without any other words or trash talk, Liu Xingwen now only wanted Xu Xi to know this:

Pill Refinement is a technical skill, not just simple theoretical knowledge!

"Quite a temper, but I wonder if he has the capability to back it up."

"His Pill Furnace is also quite good, considered top-tier below Ru Xuan. I didn't expect a second-rate disciple like you to use such a Pill Furnace. The Purple Cloud Sect is truly wealthy."

Seeing Liu Xingwen's actions, Xu Xi felt no tension in his heart. Instead, he watched Liu Xingwen's performance with great interest.

The Pill Refinement technique was no different from Li Ning霜's, but it was slightly unpolished, clearly not as well mastered as Li Ning霜's.

It must be said that among the second-rate disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect, Li Ning霜 was indeed one of the most outstanding, otherwise, she would not have been valued by Tang Wan.

However, even Li Ning霜 couldn't surpass Xu Xi in Pill Refinement, so how could these few disciples possibly gain the upper hand with their techniques?

Taking out his own Pill Furnace, Xu Xi's Pill Furnace looked much simpler compared to Liu Xingwen's ancient one.

But there's a saying: a bad student has many tools!

Although Xu Xi didn't quite agree with this view, he had to find a way to convince himself and belittle the other party.

Continuously adding medicinal ingredients into the Pill Furnace, Xu Xi was still refining the Hundred Spirit Pill this time.

One fresh dish to conquer the world; with the system's aid, Xu Xi was incredibly skilled in Pill Refinement below the third-tier, but the Hundred Spirit Pill was clearly the most effective type of pill to crush his opponents.

In terms of medicinal efficacy, this item was in a league of its own among third-tier pills.

"Hundred Spirit Pill?"

"Such a complicated Pill Refinement process, yet he is so skilled. It seems Senior Sister Li's words were true."

"But if it's just like this, it's far from enough!"

"Let me show you our Purple Cloud Sect's unique Pill Combat method!"

While focused on Pill Refinement, Liu Xingwen suddenly saw Xu Xi throwing in various medicinal ingredients. At first, Liu Xingwen was a bit confused, because those ingredients were thrown in all at once, which was simply wasteful.

But then he remembered the Hundred Spirit Pill, a third-tier pill, and Liu Xingwen understood Xu Xi's plan.

Observing Xu Xi's skilled technique, Liu Xingwen couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Of course, it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a strong desire to win.

Continuously displaying hand seals, under the augmentation of spiritual power, in an instant, the pill in Liu Xingwen's furnace, which was about to take shape, suddenly left the Pill Furnace. It was then covered by a layer of hard spiritual power barrier, and subsequently charged towards Xu Xi's Pill Furnace, attempting to break through everything.

"Senior Brother Liu has made his move! Quick! Coordinate with Senior Brother Liu to destroy that arrogant fellow Xu Xi's pill!"

"Let him be smug! Does he really think a single jade talisman can scare us?"

"It's just a trick of borrowing power. If you hadn't taken our storage bags, did you really think those Zhao Dynasty people could do anything to us?"

The other three who were refining pills with Liu Xingwen, seeing that Liu Xingwen had already used Pill Combat techniques to confront Xu Xi, naturally didn't delay.

They all performed hand seals, and then their pills were also enveloped by spiritual power, forming a solid barrier, and then charged towards Xu Xi's Pill Furnace.

Vaguely, the three people's pills and Liu Xingwen's pill formed a pincer attack, containing the subtle rhythm of a combined attack formation.

If Xu Xi wasn't careful, he might really be caught off guard by the four people's Pill Combat, causing this batch of Hundred Spirit Pills to explode.

"Xu Xi, be careful!"

Beside him, seeing Liu Xingwen and the other three use their Pill Combat techniques, Li Ning霜 couldn't help but warn him.

Although Liu Xingwen and the four's Pill Combat methods, from the perspective of a pure alchemist, were a bit underhanded, they were also a new approach.

It is well known that alchemists cannot be disturbed during Pill Refinement. Once disturbed, at best, the furnace will explode and the medicinal ingredients will be incinerated; at worst, they will suffer a backlash from the pill flames, resulting in severe injury.

The emergence of Pill Combat techniques perfectly solved this problem.

If someone tried to interfere, the alchemist could use Pill Combat methods to resolve many unnecessary troubles.

"This is the art of Pill Combat?"

"Quite interesting. If my cultivation was still at the Spirit Refinement realm, or the peak of Spirit Forming, I might actually find it a bit troublesome."

"But now..."

"It's just a trivial trick. Watch me break it with a flick of my hand!"

Even before Li Ning霜's reminder, Xu Xi had already noticed the actions of Liu Xingwen and the others.

However, Xu Xi did not immediately counterattack, but quietly observed Liu Xingwen and the others performing Pill Combat.

He had never experienced this novel method of Pill Combat before, and as long as he was sure his Pill Refinement wouldn't fail, Xu Xi was happy to play around a bit longer.

Everyone else is having fun, why can't I be one of them?

Of course, now that Liu Xingwen and the four's attacks had arrived, if he didn't counterattack, Xu Xi's Pill Furnace would truly explode.

Spiritual energy was continuously supplied without any disorder. While Xu Xi was supplying spiritual power to the Pill Furnace, he also diverted a portion of his spiritual power to resist the Pill Combat attacks from Liu Xingwen and the others.

No matter how the four people's pills advanced, they could never break through that layer of spiritual power barrier, leaving Liu Xingwen and the others baffled as to what extent Xu Xi's spiritual power strength had reached.

He could not only remain flawless under the siege of four people but also had spiritual power to spare.

"Confused?"

"It's good that you're confused! Otherwise, how else can I strike you down and show that I am superior to you?"

Looking at the dazed expressions of Liu Xingwen and the four, Xu Xi couldn't help but smile, then immediately accelerated the circulation of his spiritual power. In the Pill Furnace, the flames also surged up a notch.

The Hundred Spirit Pill, which was already on the verge of taking shape, completely formed at this moment.

However, at the moment the pill was completed, Xu Xi felt a bit of regret, because something was missing.

The last time he refined the Hundred Spirit Pill with Li Ning霜, the process was very exciting. Now, comparing with Liu Xingwen and a few others, Xu Xi didn't have that kind of mood.

"How annoying, you guys disgusted me!"

"How much better it would be if it were your senior sisters! No, I have to beat them up to vent my anger!"

Resentment brewed in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a bit more anger. This time, the Hundred Spirit Pill didn't have any vigorous and potent medicinal ingredients added. Xu Xi silently blamed Liu Xingwen and the others for this.

At the moment the pill took shape, Xu Xi's entire aura was fully displayed. However, under perfect disguise, Xu Xi's current aura was still at the peak of Spirit Forming.
