My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 291: The furnace exploded at the alchemy conference

As soon as the Demon Lord finished speaking, a cold wind blew through the hall, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.

Yunshuang huddled in the Saint's sleeves and couldn't help but shudder as she watched the scene in front of her.

"Alchemy Conference?" The Saint Girl smiled slightly, "The Demon Lord thinks highly of me."

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments." A glint of brilliance flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes. "Since you have the ability to suppress the Blood Demon Pill, I believe your alchemy skills are not too bad either."

At this moment, an old man in a gray robe walked out of the hall.

He has white hair and wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are bright and lively.

This is Elder Dan, the head of the Demon Realm Alchemy Hall, who is responsible for refining pills in the Demon Realm.

"Demon Lord." Elder Dan walked up to the Demon Lord. "The guards in the hall have been brought under control."

"Yes." The Demon Lord nodded, "How many people died?"

"Thirteen." Dan Lao sighed, "and more than twenty seriously injured."

The Demon Lord sneered: "This Blood Demon Pill is even more powerful than the one I refined."

Hearing this, Dan Lao's eyes fell on the bloodstains on the ground: "Indeed.

Ordinary Blood Demon Pills will only make people irritable, but won't cause them to explode and die."

"What do you think, Master Dan?" asked Mosha.

Elder Dan pondered for a moment and said, "This Blood Demon Pill should contain Demon Blood Grass."

"Devil Blood Grass?" The Saint raised her eyebrows. "Didn't it become extinct long ago?"

"That's right." Elder Dan nodded, "The Devil Blood Grass grows in the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, and it blooms only once every thousand years.

The last time it bloomed was five hundred years ago."

Yunshuang was confused, but he noticed that the saint's fingers moved slightly.

"Interesting." The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, "It seems that someone has secretly hidden the seeds of the Demon Blood Grass."

"Demon Lord." Dan Lao suddenly said, "Why not take advantage of this alchemy conference to let all the alchemists show their skills.

Maybe we can find someone who improved the Blood Demon Pill."

The Demon Lord glanced at the Saint and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

Just then, a woman in red came from a distance.

She has a pretty face, a slender waist, and holds a red folding fan in her hand.

"Greetings, Demon Lord." The woman in red bowed. "I heard something happened, so I came to see you."

"Hongxiu." Mosha said with a smile, "Why are you here instead of training in Dan Pavilion?"

It turned out that the woman's name was Hongxiu. She was the chief disciple of Dan Pavilion and her alchemy skills were second only to Dan Lao.

"Master asked me to inform everyone." Hongxiu opened her folding fan and gently waved it. "The Alchemy Conference will be moved forward to tomorrow."

"So fast?" Mosha frowned.

"There's nothing we can do." Hongxiu looked at the bloodstains on the ground. "The Blood Demon Pill incident has caused such a big stir, we need an explanation."

The Saint smiled faintly: "Miss Hongxiu, are you going to participate in the competition?"

"Of course." Hongxiu folded her fan. "I heard the Saint is also going to participate. I'd like to experience it."

Yunshuang poked her head out from the Saint's sleeve and looked at Hongxiu. A hint of pride flashed in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was very confident in her alchemy skills.

"Alright." The Demon Lord interrupted their conversation, "If that's the case, then we'll see the outcome tomorrow."

After saying this, he turned and left, with Mosha following closely behind. Dan Lao glanced at the Saint Girl and followed her.

"Saintess." Hongxiu put away her fan, "Don't lose too badly tomorrow."

"Let's wait and see." The saint smiled slightly.

Hongxiu snorted and turned away. Yunshuang then emerged from the Saint's sleeves and said, "She seems hostile to you."

"Hongxiu has always wanted to be the number one alchemist in the Demon Realm." Zi Ling said from the side, "It's a pity that my sister's alchemy skills are better than hers."

The Saint waved her hand and said, "Let's go, go back and get ready."

As soon as they walked out of the hall, they saw Xiaotao running towards them, jumping and skipping.

"Sister Saint!" Xiao Tao said excitedly, "I want to participate in the alchemy conference too!"

"You?" Zi Ling asked in surprise, "You can make pills?"

"Master taught me a little bit." Xiao Tao said proudly, "Although not as good as Sister Hongxiu, it's not too bad either."

The Saint looked at Xiao Tao's innocent look and suddenly said, "Do you know that this alchemy conference is not simple?"

"I know." Xiao Tao nodded, "We just need to find out who improved the Blood Demon Pill."

"It's more than that." The Saint said meaningfully, "This is a contest."

Xiao Tao blinked: "What competition?"

"It's a power struggle," the Saint said. "The Demon Lord wants to use this opportunity to test the power of all parties."

Yun Shuang seemed to understand what he heard, but he knew that this alchemy conference was probably not that simple.

"Master is right." Xiao Tao suddenly said seriously, "Those who come to participate in the alchemy conference this time are not good people."

"Oh?" The Saint looked at her with interest. "Tell me about it."

"Besides Sister Hongxiu, there is also Master Mosha's junior brother Heisha."

Xiao Tao counted on her fingers, "He specializes in refining poison pills. Even the Demon Lord says his pills are extremely toxic."

"Heisha?" Zi Ling frowned. "Is he the weird guy who wears a black mask all day long?"

"Yes." Xiao Tao nodded. "I heard that his face was injured by the poison pill, so he never shows it to others."

Yun Shuang shrank back. The alchemists in this Demon Realm were each more terrifying than the last.

"Who else?" asked the saint.

"And there's Gui Danzi." Xiao Tao lowered her voice, "He's an alchemist from the ghost world, specializing in using ghosts to make elixirs.

It is said that his elixir can turn people into the living dead."

"Someone from the ghost world has also come?" A gleam of light flashed in the saint's eyes.

"That's right." Xiao Tao sighed, "This alchemy conference has become a complete chaos."

Just then, a cold wind blew, bringing with it a foul smell.

A thin figure in a black robe came out from the corner. He exuded an aura of death and made a sound of bones rubbing against each other when he walked.

"Speak of the devil, and here he comes." Xiao Tao hid behind the Saint, "This is Gui Danzi."

Gui Danzi stopped in front of the Saint and laughed hoarsely, "Saint Lady, I have long heard of your great name."

"Fellow Daoist Gui Danzi," the Saint said calmly, "Why are you here instead of staying in the Ghost Realm?"

"I heard about the Blood Demon Pill in the Demon Realm." Ghost Danzi said sinisterly, "I'm very interested in this kind of pill."

"Oh?" The Saint raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that the ghost world also wants to get its hands on the Blood Demon Pill?"

"Saintess, you're joking." Ghost Danzi laughed dryly. "I just want to see who has the ability to improve the Demon Lord's pill formula."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Yun Shuang: "Is this the Saint's new pet?"

Yun Shuang shuddered and hid in the Saint's sleeve. The look in Ghost Danzi's eyes was as if he were looking at a corpse.

"What? Ghost Danzi wants to use my spirit pet to make pills?" The Saint sneered.

"I dare not." Gui Danzi waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just curious why the Saint Lady is so concerned about an ordinary spirit pet."

"Don't worry about that, fellow Taoist." After the saint said this, she turned and left.

Ghost Danzi looked at the Saint's back, a sinister look flashing in his eyes: "See you at the Alchemy Conference tomorrow."

Returning to the bedroom, Zi Ling immediately closed the door: "Sister, this ghost Danzi is too scary."

"He is indeed not a simple person." The Saint Girl nodded. "The fact that the Ghost Realm sent him to participate in the Alchemy Conference shows that this matter has become a big deal."

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Tao asked worriedly, "Should we withdraw from the competition?"

"Quit?" The Saint smiled, "This is a good opportunity."

Yunshuang emerged from her sleeves: "What opportunity?"

"This is a chance to find the mastermind behind this." The Saint said, "The Demon Lord will definitely make all the contestants refine the Blood Demon Pill on the spot.

By then, we will naturally be able to see who has the problem."

"But..." Xiao Tao hesitated, "What if someone deliberately fails to refine it?"

"That's why we need to send a few more people to participate." The Saint looked at Xiao Tao, "Do you understand?"

Xiao Tao suddenly realized: "So Master asked me to participate so that I can help you keep an eye on the others!"

"Smart." The Saint touched her head. "You just need to watch. You don't have to actually make the elixir."

"What about me?" Zi Ling asked.

"You are responsible for protecting Xiao Tao." The Saint said, "People like Gui Danzi love to target young girls."

Zi Ling nodded and took Xiao Tao's hand: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely protect her."

"Oh right." Xiao Tao suddenly remembered something, "I heard that a mysterious judge was invited this time."

"Mysterious judge?" The Saint frowned. "Who is he?"

"I don't know." Xiao Tao shook her head. "Master said that even the Demon Lord was very polite to this judge."

The Saint Lady pondered: "It seems that this chess game is bigger than I imagined."

At this moment, a maid came running over: "Saint, Elder Dan wants you to go to Dan Pavilion."

"Now?" The saint looked at the sky.

"Yes," the maid said, "Del said he wanted to show you something."

The Saint stood up and said, "Let's go."

"I'm going too!" Xiaotao raised her hand.

"No." The Saint shook her head, "You stay here and prepare for tomorrow with Zi Ling."

Xiao Tao pouted and gave up. The Saint brought Yun Shuang and the maid to the Dan Pavilion.

Dan Pavilion is located on the highest mountain in the Demon Realm, surrounded by clouds and mist, looking mysterious.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong medicinal fragrance.

"Saintess." Dan Lao stood in the middle of the hall, "You are here."

"What advice does Master Dan have?" asked the saint.

Dan Lao did not speak, but took out a jade bottle from his sleeve: "Look at this."

The saint took the jade bottle, opened it and saw a blood-red pill inside.

"This is..." A hint of surprise flashed in the saint's eyes.

"Indeed." Elder Dan nodded. "This is the Blood Demon Pill that was refined from the Devil Blood Grass five hundred years ago."
