350: Lu Chen thinks he is very smart

As a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance diffused from all directions, it was clear who the top scorer of the tenth group's assessment was.

"This kid, he hides himself very well!"

Dan Xuzi gave Su Xuan a meaningful look.

Su Xuan had hidden so deeply that even he, an Alchemy Saint, had been fooled by Su Xuan!

Based on Su Xuan's performance just now, he didn't look like someone who could do Alchemy at all.

However, the truth was startling; he had a premonition that Su Xuan's Alchemy technique might even be superior to Lu Chen's!

"If that's truly the case, then Qingling Holy Land will suffer a great loss of face, allowing an outsider to claim first place in the Saint Child Selection. Then, who would this person belong to, Tianwu Holy Land, or Qingling Holy Land?"

Dan Xuzi revealed a meaningful smile.

Of course, this was not for him to worry about. If it were truly the case, it would be beyond what he, as the Second Elder, could handle; the Holy Lord would have to intervene.

"Three-Pattern Medicinal Pill, you've really hidden yourself deeply!"

Dan Xuzi conducted a symbolic check, confirming that Su Xuan had no suspicion of cheating.

"Elder Your Excellency, I wonder if this counts as passing?"

Su Xuan asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it's a pass!"

Dan Xuzi nodded.

Thus, Su Xuan successfully advanced to the next group with the title of first place.

Returning to the Tianwu Holy Land's seating area, Liu Su Su and Nan Zhaoxue both clung to him with looks of adoration.

"Husband! I never expected it! You're so amazing! The Alchemy technique you just displayed is much more impressive than mine! You big bad guy! You're so powerful but you didn't tell me!"

Liu Su Su pouted as she spoke.

"When did I not tell you? Didn't my power manifest in your loud voice?"

Su Xuan chuckled.

"You're making fun of me again! Bad husband! You know I wasn't talking about that!"

Liu Su Su rolled her eyes at Su Xuan.

"Su Xuan... I thought you and I were a good match, but now it seems I was aiming too high!"

Nan Zhaoxue said with a wry smile.

She was, after all, a favored daughter of heaven, only slightly less impressive than a fated female lead like Liu Su Su.

However, all of that paled in comparison to Su Xuan!

"What? Regretting it now? Are you trying to break off our engagement?"

Su Xuan teased.

"How could that be! It's precisely because you're so outstanding that I like you even more!"

Nan Zhaoxue threw a flirtatious glance, her eyes almost dripping with affection!

Tang Mei and Liu Ruoli, who were nearby, both looked a little displeased seeing the intimate interaction between the three.

However, Tang Mei felt that with Liu Ruoli present, it would be too improper for her to be intimate with Su Xuan! If others found out, they would surely be criticized!

Liu Ruoli's thoughts were the same as Tang Mei's! So, even if they had much more to say to Su Xuan, they could only utter one sentence.

"Well done!"

Tang Mei and Liu Ruoli said with great satisfaction.

Seeing Tang Mei's dignified expression, Liu Su Su and Nan Zhaoxue almost burst out laughing.

Tang Mei had been extremely intimate with Su Xuan just moments ago, but she became so proper after Liu Ruoli arrived!

This contrast made Nan Zhaoxue and Liu Su Su find it particularly amusing.

After a brief heart-to-heart talk with them, a day of happy time passed by.

Su Xuan undoubtedly advanced to the final round, always achieving first place in his group.

Qingling Holy Land seemed to be intentionally avoiding a direct clash between Lu Chen and Su Xuan.

Throughout the many groups that had competed so far, Lu Chen and Su Xuan had not been matched together.

However, Liu Su Su and Su Xuan did end up in the same group. While they flirted and performed Alchemy, it directly caused the male participants present to turn green with envy towards Su Xuan.

Especially Lu Chen, whose face turned green upon seeing this scene, almost causing his Pill Furnace to explode during Alchemy!

Fortunately, Lu Chen managed to stabilize himself in the end, but the quality of his Medicinal Pill declined somewhat as a result.

Nevertheless, Lu Chen ultimately secured first place in his group due to his exceptional strength.

However, Lu Chen's performance this time also made everyone realize that his condition was not very good.

Some people even started placing bets, wagering that Lu Chen would lose to Su Xuan in tomorrow's grand competition!

Because Su Xuan was too formidable; he always finished first, and each time, he produced at least a Three-Pattern Medicinal Pill.

There was even one instance where Su Xuan, for the first time, refined a Four-Pattern Medicinal Pill, shocking the entire audience!

This was currently the only Four-Pattern Medicinal Pill, and no one had surpassed it yet.

Everyone who entered the finals was in despair; they had no expectation of taking first place, only aiming to secure a good ranking in the end.

"Heh, it seems my feigned weakness worked well!"

Upon learning of the comments from those around him, Lu Chen smirked wickedly.

His previous mistakes were all intentional; at his level, he wouldn't make such low-level errors!

He did this to make Su Xuan lower his guard, thereby lulling his opponent into a false sense of security!

When he was doing Alchemy earlier, he hadn't revealed the Qiankun Wuxiang Furnace, so no one knew he had this trump card!

Moreover, his Alchemy skill was not as simple as the rumored Alchemy Grandmaster.

A month ago, he had already achieved a Breakthrough to Alchemy Grandmaster, and refining Seven-Order Pills was no problem for him!

Not only that, with the help of the Qiankun Wuxiang Furnace, he was confident in refining a Seven-Order Four-Pattern Medicinal Pill!

This was his confidence! His trump card!

"Heh, you fools, go ahead and place your bets. In the end, I'll be the one who earns the most!"

Lu Chen smirked wickedly. He had bet half of his fortune, and if he won, he would not only get the Saint title but also earn a large amount of Cultivation resources!

"What I've lost, I'll take it all back then!"

Lu Chen secretly vowed.

...

"Hmm... where did husband go?"

Late at night, Liu Su Su woke up to use the restroom and found that Su Xuan, who had been by her side, was gone.

Su Xuan, who had just been playing happily with her, now left only Nan Zhaoxue beside her.

As for Tang Mei, she was quite annoyed because there were too many guests at Qingling Holy Land this time, and they hadn't prepared enough rooms in advance.

This led to her and Liu Ruoli having to share a room.

This infuriated her! She had originally planned to have a good time with Su Xuan in the evening, but she was intercepted by Liu Ruoli.

On the other side, Liu Ruoli had the same thought, but there was nothing she could do but endure it!

"Fortunately, I had a taste this morning, so it's not a complete loss!"

Liu Ruoli thought to herself.

At this moment, Su Xuan arrived at the entrance of Luo Qingxue's grand hall with a mischievous smile.
