Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss

The smell became denser, telling everyone clearly that she had succeeded in her refinement.

“Why is it not over yet?” Song Ming Zhu asked.

Shen Ye Xuan had already succeeded in her refinement by this time. However, she was still going on. She hadn’t extinguished her flames yet.

“Could it be that he is trying to refine an eighth ranked pill that is even higher in rank?”

“That shouldn’t be.” Song Ye Xuan said, “It’s already heaven-defying for him to be an eighth ranked alchemist. He can’t be ranked even higher than me.”

“Then why is he still refining?”

“He should be finishing soon.”

“Guys, look!” Mo Yu saw the changes in the sky above and cried out.

Everyone raised their heads and saw dark clouds starting to gather in the skies above.

“Pill Tribulation! He actually moved the calamity cloud!” Shen Ye Xuan cried out with disbelief.

“How could it be?!”

“It’s really a pill tribulation. He actually caused a pill tribulation.”

Nobody could comprehend it, but the clouds in the sky gathered to become denser and denser. They just couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Sima You Yue raised her head and saw the calamity clouds drifting above her. She could feel that it was coming closer, so she extinguished her flame, opened the lid and took out the successfully refined pill.

“Zap-”

When the pill came out, a lightning bolt shot from the calamity cloud.

Sima You Yue held the pill in her hands. Because it was the target of the lightning calamity, it struck both her and the pill.

Song Ye Xuan and the others had long since escaped from the arena before the lightning struck. There was no way they wanted to be hurt.

“He actually activated the lightning tribulation. He wouldn’t be struck to death, right?” Song Ming Zhu said as he patted his chest.

“It shouldn’t be so.” Mo Yu said, “Seeing how he is, it shouldn’t be his first time encountering it. He isn’t flustered in the least. He should be fine.”

“Hmph, it would be best if he was struck to death! Right, Xuan Xuan?” Gu Xi Ping huffed.

Song Ye Xuan merely took a glance at him. He didn’t speak before continuing to watch Sima You Yue go through the tribulation with shining eyes.

All the alchemists understood that even if it were the same rank, quality and pill, there would be a difference going through the pill tribulation and not. This competition was her win.

However, she was interested in Sima You Yue. How many people in this world were crazy existences like she was?

After three bolts of lightning struck, the calamity cloud left unwillingly. It had finished drinking its wine, but this guy wouldn’t give it anymore.

However, they were friends and it didn’t seem like she wanted to give away the relationship between the both of them so it had to leave in a low key manner.

The tribulation lightning was just like a tickle to Sima You Yue. The purple lightning was swimming in her lightning pool, and this wasn’t even enough as an appetizer!

She placed the pills into a jade bottle before looking down at Ji Qing Yuan.

Ji Qing Yuan stepped forwards before calling all the contestants back up stage.

Shen Ye Xuan and the others returned to their respective positions and their recently successfully refined pills were still placed on the tables.

Xia Chang Tian and Zhao Xiang Qi came up with four other alchemists. He inspected them in order, announcing their scores.

“Song Ming Zhu, advanced seventh ranked pill, third place.”

“Gu Xi Ping, intermediate seventh ranked pill, sixth place.”

“…”

“Mo Yu, premium grade seventh ranked.”

“Shen Ye Xuan, low grade eighth ranked pill.”

Xia Chang Tian and the others came in front of Sima You Yue and took her pill to take a look. They beamed, “Sima You Yue, low grade eighth ranked with two pill marks!”

He raised the pill in his hands to let everyone take a look at the pill marks on it.

After that, he kept the pill away and said to Sima You Yue, “Excellent.”

Then, he returned to the platform.

Sima You Yue and the others kept their things away and returned to the resting area. They had to announce the results of the competition today, and it would be fine after waiting just a short while.

On the platform, the pavilion leader from Sage Pavilion looked at Sima You Yue and touched the ring in his hands.

“You knew long ago, didn’t you?” Shao Yun Xiao asked Wu Lingyu.

“Knew what?” Wu Lingyu played the fool, pasting an apathetic look on his face.

“He was the person from the Dark Forest.” Shao Yun Xiao said, “He is your Junior Brother. How could you not know that he was the one responsible for what happened in the Dark Forest?”

“He didn’t tell me.” Wu Lingyu said, “I’ve been in closed door cultivation these few years and I rarely care for the things outside. I didn’t see what happened in the Dark Forest personally either.”

“Did you really not know?” Shao Yun Xiao glared at him, wanting to find any signs based on his expression.

“I know now.” Wu Lingyu said lightly. His eyes seemed to say that he had really only found out just now.

“Catch him tonight and come look for me.” Shao Yun Xiao said, “Can you do that?”

“I can.”

“I’ll be waiting for you, then.”

“Understood.”

Wu Lingyu looked over to Sima You Yue. When he saw the smile on her face, his mouth hooked up into a light smile.

It seemed that some things would have to be pushed forward.

Xia Chang Tian took out the results that Ji Qing Yuan had given to him. Then, he stood up and cleared his throat, announcing, “I will now announce the results of the youth category of our pill competition. First place, Sima You Yue. Second place, Shen Ye Xuan. Third place, Mo Yu, Fourth place… right now, I invite the top three contestants to come up the stage to receive your prize.”

Sima You Yue and the other two came to the center of the stage where the winner’s podium was. She stood up there while Xia Chang Tian and three other servant girls walked in holding trays.

He came in front of Mo Yu and handed him the item on the tray saying, “Congratulations.”

“Thank you, President.” Mo Yu smiled as she took the prize.

Xia Chang Tian came to Sheng Ye Xuan and uttered congratulatory words before handing her her prize.

Then, he came in front of Sima You Yue and handed her the item, saying, “I just knew that you wouldn’t let me down. Congratulations.”

Sima You Yue knew that the box contained a Ten Thousand Years Laughing Buddha Fruit. She didn’t have much use for this item anymore. However, she still took it. Who knows, she might have some use for it in the future.

She took the box and said, “Thank you.”

After Xia Chang Tian had given out the prizes to the three of them, he said, “As the top three contestants this round, I officially invite you to join our alchemist guild to rise and improve together.”

Mo Yu was elated and immediately agreed.

Shen Ye Xuan considered it for a moment, saying, “Thank you, President, for your kind intentions. However, my clan cannot do without me.”

This was her way of rejecting him.

Xia Chang Tian did not really react to her refusal. He had long since known that she would not join them.

He looked at Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue thought for a moment, saying, “Thank you, President, for your invitation. However, You Yue still has things to do. I am afraid that I won’t be able to stay within the guild.”

“You Yue, do you not wish to better yourself in the field of alchemy?

Xia Chang Tian asked, “We have exceptional alchemists here. We will be able to help you greatly with your progress, I…”

Sima You Yue still shook her head, saying, “President, I am not finding excuses. I truly do have things that I need to do. I have no way to stay rooted in a single place.”

Xia Chang Tian looked at her and made a decision in his heart.
