Chapter 436: Competition Start! (2)
Who did Pu Lisi think he was? All Great Herbalists could only stand aside as they make way for Ye Qing.
Shen Yanxiao looked at Ye Qing in surprise as she did not expect that he would be there as well. She respected her mentor for teaching her herbalism, and she could deduce the reason he was there that day.
She felt a little emotional with his presence. Even though she was not afraid of Pu Lisi, she knew that he would do his best to hinder her progress in the competition.
Ye Qing was there to tell everyone that Shen Jue was his student. If they wanted a fair competition, then he would have no problem with that. However, if they were to attack him sneakily under his nose, then they would have to deal with him first.
Even Pu Lisi would have to weigh the pros and cons before he could decide to do anything.
There was a slight change to Pu Lisi’s expression, but he did not dare to cause trouble in front of Ye Qing.
However, even if he did not use any underhanded tactics, he was confident that the two types of formulae he handed to Luo Fan and Shangguan Xiao was enough to bring Shen Jue down.
Due to Ye Qing’s arrival, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere, and Luo De could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, the competition began.
“This competition is only to compare notes on herbalism, and you will have to observe proper restraint.” Pu Lisi pretended to be just, but he was rather annoyed that he could not cause more problems for Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao remained silent and waited for the competition to start officially.
The trio then immediately began to move.
Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan had made preparations for the competition the day before that, and they had memorized the formula to their potions. When the match started, they immediately dashed toward the medicinal ingredients to select what they needed.
Shen Yanxiao walked calmly behind them with a light-hearted expression on her face.
Luo De went to Ye Qing’s side and observed Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan’s movements. Shangguan Xiao had already retrieved 17 types of medicinal ingredients, and most of them were ingredients with extremely potent toxicity. If those were mixed together, the effects would certainly be dreadful.
“Great Master Ye Qing, the medicinal ingredients that Shangguan Xiao took are extremely toxic. Does he really intend to make a potion with detrimental effects with it?” Those toxic medicinal ingredients were sufficient to make a poison. Luo De was sincerely worried about Shen Yanxiao’s wellbeing.
Ye Qing looked calm and peaceful, but he was well aware of Luo De’s concerns. He had also noticed the ingredients that Shangguan Xiao had gathered. Based on that, he could already confirm the potion that he intended to concoct.
Ye Qing furrowed his eyebrows as he turned toward Pu Lisi, who was sneering at Shen Yanxiao. Disapproval flooded Ye Qing’s eyes.
It was a rare competition in which they would brew potions with detrimental effects that could be harmful to one’s health. However, the elixir that Shangguan Xiao wanted to produce would cause extreme damage to one’s five senses. It was an extremely sinister and malicious potion that was not suitable for competition.
On the other hand, Luo Fan had gathered about 19 medicinal ingredients. The items that he had selected were not all toxic, but most of it contained a certain degree of heat. At that moment, not even Ye Qing knew which potion he wanted to produce.
