After Hua Ruge gave his instructions, the Immortal City of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace began to be received one after another. At this point, the fact that the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace had lost the bet wasn't just a rumor, but a fact.
The commoners saw their Immortal City change hands one by one as they personally experienced how insignificant the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace was. The reverence and fear in their hearts had mostly disappeared.
Because Hua Ruge didn't have to personally receive the Immortal City, he could only control it from the back. Thus, he was actually very free.
Tuoba Rui was also in closed door cultivation, so she didn't even have a companion.
She then started to head towards Shangguan Li's direction. During this day, she went through all sorts of difficulties to find Shangguan Li's residence, only then did she complain after entering, "Ah Li, aren't you moving around too frequently these past few days?"
Previously, she would only move to another house every two to three days. She suspected that if Shangguan Li stayed here for a few years, she would have already bought all the houses in Yan City.
"Why are you here again?" Shangguan Li was drinking his tea in the courtyard, raising his head, he saw her walk in.
"What's with your tone? "You don't welcome me?" Hua Ruge looked around and asked: "What, someone was hiding in the courtyard?"
Shangguan Li did not want to chat with her, so he asked: "Your still hasn't come out from closed door cultivation?"
"Nope." Hua Ruge took the tea from Lan Er's hand and sighed: "So boring."
Shangguan Li turned his head and drank his tea silently.
"You haven't answered me yet? Why are there so many moves these days? " Hua Ruge asked again.
Shangguan Li had no intention to answer, so he cast a questioning gaze towards Xiao Lan, who was holding out his hand.
"It's that Peacock King. I don't know how he found our residence, but he came to visit. The pavilion master moved the next day." Xiao Lan said.
Hua Ruge laughed: "He still hasn't put it down yet?"
"Looks like it." Xiao Lan replied.
Hua Ruge looked at Shangguan Li again: "Are you really not going to consider it?"
"You two can go on. I'm not interested in this sort of thing." Shangguan Li's expression was still calm and indifferent.
Hua Ruge and Xiao Lan looked at each other helplessly.
There was really nothing that could be done about this wooden fish's unenlightened brain.
"To be honest, how confident are you in the competition?" Shangguan Li asked. She was still a little worried about Hua Ruge.
Hua Ruge thought for a moment, then said: "70%, too bad I don't have the right pill furnace, so I can't use my pill techniques. Otherwise, I have a 100% chance of defeating her."
"The person who is not lacking in money in this world is you. Do you still have to worry about not having a good pill furnace?"
Hua Ruge shook his head: "The one that I want is in Shi Xuejun's hands, I don't fancy anything else."
From Baili Shuang's inheritance, she found out that Baili Shuang had a pill furnace called the Primordius Universe Furnace, which was a divine tool the Sword Saint brought back for her.
However, she did not find anything among the treasures left behind by Baili Shuang. It was clear that she was taken away by someone when she was being killed, so she was definitely in Shi Xuejun's possession.
She could only snatch it from Shi Xuejun after defeating him. Therefore, he didn't have a complete chance of winning right now.
"That means Shi Xuejun has a very good pill furnace?" Shangguan Li asked.
Hua Ruge nodded.
"The pills she uses the power of the pill furnace will definitely not be ordinary. And this time, she won't hide anything. Be careful." Shangguan Li analyzed.
"That's why I didn't say I have a hundred percent confidence." Hua Ruge had also taken this point into account.
Seeing that she had a plan, Shangguan Li was slightly relieved.
"This is a critical time, help me keep an eye on the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace."
Shangguan Li nodded: "I will do that, you can rest assured."
"True, you are much more reliable than me." Hua Ruge was relieved when he thought about it.
What she needed to do now was to wait and see what would happen next. She would wait for the next few days of the competition.
The two of them sat and chatted for a while. Shangguan Li saw that it was getting late so he asked her, "Are you eating here tonight?"
"No, I'd better go home and watch over him. Maybe he'll come out tonight. He'll be worried if he can't see me." Hua Ruge said as he stood up.
After she left, Xiao Lan sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect State Advisor to be so serious about relationships."
Seeing Hua Ruge's usual sloppy attitude, she had thought that he was a truly cynical person. Unexpectedly, he also had his own perseverance.
"This is probably the only difference between her and a hooligan." Shangguan Li said.
Xiao Lan coughed twice, "Pavilion Master, is that not a good idea to say?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Shangguan Li asked.
Xiao Lan thought about it, then shook his head. It seemed to be true.
"But I do envy her." Shangguan Li said again, perhaps this was the reason why they had such an intimate relationship.
"Is Pavilion Master looking for a man?" Xiao Lan's eyes lit up.
Shangguan Li asked in a daze: "That's what I meant?"
"As I understand it."
"It's better if you let me go." Shangguan Li laughed as he shook his head.
Seeing that Shangguan Li was so happy, Xiao Lan was also happy. Their pavilion master's mood seemed to be better recently than when she had just arrived at the Yan Du.
As expected, he still had to get in touch with more people.
When Shi Xuejun received the Immortal City that was being accepted, she became extremely furious. Now she finally knew why Hua Ruge had kept it for ten days.
To put it bluntly, he was stalling for time in order to completely ruin the reputation of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace.
This was because if Hua Ruge had not suggested the last match, the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace would have attacked the Sky Mansion Academy.
She was even now suspecting that Hua Ruge wasn't really interested in fighting and was only trying to stall for time. When the time was up, he would cancel the competition and use that to stall for time.
Although she knew that Hua Ruge had ill intentions, she did not have much thoughts about it recently.
Western Sea Beast King had already replied that if the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace didn't send the Myriad Spirit Pill to the Western Sea within a month, the Beast King would personally send people to retrieve it and make the news of the battle at the western border known to the public.
Shi Xuejun had a headache, she regretted provoking Tuoba Rui, but she was unable to concoct the Repentance Elixir, so she could only think of a way.
At this moment, a maidservant walked in and reported, "Mistress, Great Elder requests an audience."
The Great Clan Elder had brought the other elders recently to study the Myriad Spirit Pill, so he was definitely here for this matter.
"Quick, invite him in." Shi Xuejun said.2
The Great Clan Elder looked to be around seventy to eighty years old, but in reality, he was already close to two hundred years old. He strode into the hall and cupped his fists towards Shi Xuejun and said, "Palace Chief, we have developed a method to remove the Evil Qi."
"What is it?" Shi Xuejun was overjoyed.
"Use two types of Spirit Medicines to dispel the baleful qi. They are the Scarlet Flame Pill Heart Fruit and the Dragon Bone Grass." The Great Elder said.
