710: The Empress lost control of her emotions

"The Empress is so beautiful," Jiang Yurou, who was beside him, exclaimed sincerely.

Hearing this, Lin Yun just smiled and shook his head secretly, "Not as beautiful as you, Senior Sister."

"Senior Brother, what are you saying? How... how could I possibly compare to her!" Jiang Yurou's face turned red. While shy, she was even more secretly delighted.

Which woman doesn't like to be praised?

Especially being praised by someone she likes.

Aside from shyness, only happiness remained.

Lin Yun didn't say much.

In reality, from his perspective, he was speaking the truth.

After a hundred years of companionship in his previous life, he had already become extremely disappointed and indifferent towards this ice mountain that could never melt.

Relatively speaking, Senior Sister was clearly more appealing.

What Lin Yun didn't expect was that his casual words of praise clearly and piercingly fell into the ears of the highly cultivated Empress Kongtong Frost Snow.

The woman, who had originally worn a calm expression with a hint of self-satisfaction in her heart, deliberately paying attention to Lin Yun's situation, stiffened slightly upon hearing these words.

She had deliberately dressed up and done her makeup, wanting to see Lin Yun's reaction, indirectly saying she had dressed up for him.

Yet, she received such an evaluation in the end?

Looking towards the woman beside him, Kongtong Frost Snow slightly frowned.

She recognized that woman.

Just a Mortal, without a single Spiritual Root.

In her previous life, she had shamelessly hooked up with Lin Yun, who was already married to her.

A hint of majesty flickered in her eyes. Kongtong Frost Snow didn't put the other woman in her sight.

Turning her head, she looked at the Dan Sect Elder and Disciples before her: "It seems the Dan Sect is holding a Holy Son selection?"

"Then continue. I am quite interested and would like to see the Heaven's Chosen among the younger generation of Alchemy on our Five Spirits Continent."

As Kongtong Frost Snow finished speaking, the Sect Leader immediately understood and arranged seats for the Empress and the several attendants behind her.

Each of these attendants, taken individually, was in the Golden Core Realm, an existence like a distinguished guest in any Sect.

However, with the Empress beside them, they dared not sit.

They all stood behind the Empress's seat, their expressions solemn.

And with the Empress taking her seat and the Sect Leader of the Dan Sect accompanying her, the Elders who were originally supervising and scoring became peripheral figures.

The entire judging panel instantly reached the top tier of the entire Five Spirits Continent!

Lin Yun looked at his four other competitors.

He saw that each of these people had faces full of excitement, rubbing their palms together, with a desire to show off their skills impatiently!

He remembered that he was in the same state back then.

Thinking of showing off in front of the Empress and leaving a good impression on such a great figure.

Thinking about it now, he was still too young.

"The final assessment, refine a Fourth Grade Youth Preservation Pill!" The examiner announced the topic at this moment.

At the same time, the corresponding spiritual plants were also delivered by the Disciples of the Sect to the long tables of the five contestants.

"The Youth Preservation Pill, once successfully refined, can be kept by oneself or given to others. I hope all contestants who have advanced to the final round will cherish the spiritual plants before you."

"The assessment is limited to the time it takes two incense sticks to burn. Begin!"

As the examiner finished his last words, the other contestants, except for Lin Yun, immediately took action.

Spiritual plants were refined into spiritual liquid, baked and heated, other matching spiritual plants were added, the heat was controlled, and pill qi was injected...

Unlike the speed of the others, Lin Yun looked at the spiritual plant Materials before him, somewhat lost in thought.

Youth Preservation Pill, the Materials for this item are extremely precious.

In his previous life, he searched for a hundred years and still couldn't find all the Materials needed to refine a Youth Preservation Pill once.

Of course, this was also largely due to him being under house arrest in the Imperial Palace.

He still remembered the look of avoidance and inferiority on Senior Sister Jiang Yurou's face as she grew older and her skin loosened and wrinkled.

He had promised Senior Sister a Youth Preservation Pill...

Since he couldn't fulfill it in his previous life, he would make up for it in this life.

The Materials for the Youth Preservation Pill were precious after all, so Lin Yun chose not to waste them.

He also understood.

These Materials, generally speaking, the Dan Sect would not possibly take them out for their assessment.

This was all because of the appearance of that woman sitting in the main seat.

If one wasn't stupid, those who refined the Youth Preservation Pills would all curry favor by offering the pills to that woman in the main seat.

And the Dan Sect could also use this point to draw closer to the Phoenix Feather Dynasty.

Youth Preservation Pill is a Fourth Grade pill.

The difficulty of refining it is not considered hard.

People who have successfully attempted to refine Fourth Grade pills can basically refine it successfully.

The main difficulty of this pill is that the pressure during refining will be somewhat great.

After all, the medicinal herbs are precious.

The main spiritual plants have all grown for ten thousand years!

Looking at the five Disciples refining pills below, the Sect Leader of the Dan Sect nodded slightly.

These younger generations are all quite steady, just different in speed.

Among them, the slowest was the Disciple named Lin Yun.

But it wasn't bad either, at least the procedure was correct.

And Kongtong Frost Snow, sitting in the center of the judging panel, was lightly tapping the armrest of the chair beneath her with her slender, fair fingers.

Her phoenix eyes, containing a sense of coldness, mostly rested on Lin Yun.

She remembered that in her previous life at this time, this man was the first to refine the Youth Preservation Pill and gave it to her.

In her previous life, she had only glanced at it and signaled for her attendant behind her to accept it for her.

As for now, I will let you taste some sweetness, and I will personally accept it then.

As these thoughts arose in her heart, the time for one incense stick to burn had already passed.

"I succeeded, I refined it successfully!" Among the five Dan Sect Disciples, one of them shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, the eyes of many people, including Kongtong Frost Snow's gaze, turned towards him.

Upon finding it was not Lin Yun, they were puzzled, with a hint of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, this Youth Preservation Pill, I hope Your Majesty will accept it! I wish Your Majesty eternal youth and beauty!" The Disciple who refined the Youth Preservation Pill hurriedly used spiritual power to support the pill and came to a place more than ten meters in front of Kongtong Frost Snow.

Within the Sect, especially those female Disciples, showed expressions of envy and longing upon seeing that Youth Preservation Pill.

Youth Preservation Pill, it is said that after taking it, no matter how old you are in the future, you will have the appearance of an 18-year-old!

Facing the envious gazes of countless people, Kongtong Frost Snow felt a hint of displeasure.

If she could, she even wanted to directly refuse this item.

However, thinking that if she refused outright, Lin Yun might not dare to give her the Youth Preservation Pill later.

She looked towards the Chief Eunuch beside her.

The other party understood and stepped forward to accept the pill.

After the Youth Preservation Pill was accepted, this Disciple's expression was also a burst of excitement.

Not long after, the second Disciple also succeeded in refining!

And then came the third and fourth!

Four people in a row, one by one, finished refining!

And they all passed the assessment within the specified time, successfully refined the Youth Preservation Pill and gave it to the Empress!

"Time's up!"

The examiner saw the two incense sticks had burned out and announced loudly.

And within a few breaths after his words fell, Lin Yun, who had deliberately delayed, finally formed his pill!

His pill was of excellent quality.

The surrounding Elders nodded secretly as they watched, but it was a pity that he did not succeed in refining it within the specified time.

In this way, he would also have no points in this round.

Then, the competition for the Dan Sect Saint Child, Lin Yun was directly eliminated!

People's gazes gathered on the last formed Youth Preservation Pill.

Just when everyone thought Lin Yun would give this pill to the Empress in the main seat, they saw him take the pill and place it into the hand of a female Disciple in the crowd.

"Senior Sister Yurou, it's for you."

The appearance of this scene caused a slight commotion around.

Jiang Yurou looked at the top-grade Youth Preservation Pill in her hand, with its rich, misty pill fragrance, her head felt dizzy, feeling so unreal.

"No, Senior Brother Lin Yun, this is too precious! And you should give this to the Empress, this is your future!" The girl shook her head, her face full of anxiety.

Even though she was not deeply involved in the world, she understood that such a precious item as the Youth Preservation Pill should be given to the superior Kongtong Frost Snow, to gain her favor and obtain better cultivation resources!

"It's for you, keep it." Lin Yun pressed the item into her hand.

This foolish woman, that Empress has already received so many Youth Preservation Pills, does she lack this item?

Moreover, Lin Yun had no intention of getting involved with that woman at all.

Among the judging panel.

Kongtong Frost Snow saw this scene, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although it was only a slight furrow, the fluctuating emotions were already extremely intense!

This man was clearly her Husband, yet he acted like this towards another woman right in front of her!

"Bang!" The chair beneath her, which the Dan Sect had spent a fortune to build, instantly turned into powder as the spiritual power around the Empress Kongtong Frost Snow erupted!

The Sect Leader of the Dan Sect beside her watched with a pained expression.

But even more so, he was terrified.

What was happening? Why was this Empress suddenly so angry?

"Lin Yun! In broad daylight, acting like this, what sort of conduct is this?!" The woman's cold voice was like a thousand-meter ice mountain, about to press down upon them.

Hearing this voice, Lin Yun looked at Kongtong Frost Snow in front of him, somewhat stunned.

Her usually calm expression now showed a clear hint of anger.

And even when she was angry, her angry look carried a unique kind of beauty.

"Your Majesty, did I commit some offense?"

"I am not yet married. What is wrong with giving a gift to someone I like?" Lin Yun didn't understand why this woman suddenly flared up at him.

As Lin Yun's words spread.

The enraged Empress Kongtong's expression stiffened slightly.

Yes, this man was not yet her Husband, she couldn't control his actions.

But...

Hearing Lin Yun's later words, Empress Kongtong felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

Giving a gift to someone I like?

This guy likes that woman?!

No, it's clearly not like this!
