The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side

Chapter 62: "I'll definitely spank you if you don't explain it clearly to me!"

At noon of the second day, Mu Chen waved his sleeve to open the lid of the furnace, took out nine pills and threw them into a jade plate. These pills not only looked different in color but had distinct effects. However, they were all covered with a layer of faint aura which enabled him to tell their quality.

After putting the furnace into the space ring, Mu Chen held the plate, went out of the room and handed the pills to the servant at the door, who was startled at the first sight of the pills and hastened to pass them to the judge panel.

The judges looked at each other after examining the pills carefully, all seemingly shocked. With only three shares of herbs, Mu Chen should have concocted nine pills. They assessed the herbs used in each pill, only to find that Mu Chen didn't waste any tiny material. Among the nine pills, the judges only recognized Heart-Protecting Pill, Ambergris Pills, Five-Element Blood-Coagulation Pill and Qingyang Pill, which were all hard to concoct. The rest five were full of dynamic spirit power but unknown to the judges.

It was worthy to mention that all these nine pills had reached the top level!

At this time, other pill alchemists were still trying hard to control their soul power to avoid distraction. Otherwise, the herbs would be wasted or the furnace would even explode. However, Mu Chen stood indifferently downstairs, seemingly in lack of interest. People's attitude suddenly changed while looking at him, 'How old is he?'

Only a hundred or so!

Being able to produce so many high-quality pills with limited materials in so short a time, Mu Chen did have remarkable talents. In the judges' prediction, three top pills out of those herbs would reach the ceilings, while Mu Chen unexpectedly brought them nine!

"Nine top pills!" The appraiser announced fairly. Bystanders all gasped in shock upon hearing that.

The crystal screen showed that the second place was Yin Lixun who only concocted two high-quality pills. Bo Jinyu followed him with also two pills, one of which, however, looked unsaturated in color to be counted as a top pill. Both the two used up their herbs during the competition as others did.

Mu Chen was reluctant to discuss with the crowd but interrupted them indifferently, "These awards are mine now, right?" His spirit power could be faintly sensed from the cold voice.

Bo Yuntian twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a heartache, 'The child is so poor that he still thinks about the awards now. How hard should his life be?'

"Yours, definitely yours!" Bo Yuntian consoled him, "This competition is due to be concluded at noon tomorrow. By then you can certainly go and claim the awards yourself."

Worrying about Gu Yunjue who was meditating to heal himself alone, Mu Chen didn't want to stay longer, so he just turned around and left before giving a glance at Bo Jinyu's image in the screen.

It was bustling with noise in the street because this competition had attracted amounts of travelers to Pill City. Stalls and stores at either side of the street were selling various kinds of stuff. Kids hand in hand with their elders were holding colorful candies in their little arms and smiling radiantly.

Mu Chen subconsciously walked into a small shop and bought two packs of candies.

After he paid the shopkeeper, he immediately regretted as he looked at the candies in his hands. 'The evil disciple conceives so many licentious thoughts and can't even tell right from wrong, but I still buy candies for him! I really should have chopped my hands!'

While he was hesitating whether to throw the candies away, a white figure flashed beside him and aroused his notice. 'It's the white-dressed scholar!' Mu Chen frowned.
