1994: A Pill Alchemist's Consummate Skill

A Pill Alchemist's Consummate Skill

"You, what medicinal powder did you use!!" The Celestial Light Academy mentor yelled in a fluster. He hastily covered his nose with his sleeve to avoid breathing in any medicinal powder.2

"Wow, it smells so good. What medicinal powder is this? My whole body feels refreshed after smelling it. I feel like the mystic energy in my body is circulating faster."

"Yeah, I feel like it's even better than using mystic-returning medicinal solution!"

The students standing behind Qiao Mu all sniffed as hard as they could, clambering to take in the remnant medicinal powder fragrance.

"Don't randomly sniff when you don't even know what it is. What if it's poison?" The Celestial Light Academy mentor scolded the students beside him.

"Mentor, I feel like I recovered a third of the mystic energy I expended in the battle earlier."

"Right, right, I feel the same way."

"Ludicrous!" That Celestial Light Academy mentor continued to cover his nose as he scolded those two students who were discrediting them. "How can there be such a fast-acting medicinal powder in this world? Don't be daydreaming! Beware of any tricks. All of you hold your breaths."

However, the Celestial Light Academy mentor couldn't control people's breathing.

Since they couldn't reason with the mentor, the students just kept mum. They still stealthily breathed in the medicinal powder though.

Qiao Mu couldn't care less about that self-opinionated mentor. With a flip of her hand, ten gleaming needles appeared between her fingertips, and she stabbed them at the ten people in front of her like a fairy scattering blossoms.

The ten people from River Horse Academy opened their eyes at the same time and all spit out mouthfuls of black blood.

The Celestial Light Academy mentor screeched in alarm, "Y-You! Stop right now! Quickly have the people in charge of the arena come over! How could they just let this little witch casually harm students from other academies?"

"Who're you calling a little witch!" Qi Xuanxuan hollered, "If you don't understand what other people are doing, just shut up, alright?"

Mo Lian's group had already made their way to Qiao Mu at this point. They swept indifferent gazes at that blustering Celestial Light Academy mentor.

"Get out of the way!" Feng Chen flicked a burst of spiritual energy at the Celestial Light Academy mentor's knee, which promptly made him drop to the floor on one knee.

Subsequently, a gust of wind from a palm strike swept the Celestial Light Academy mentor away like trash. He tumbled into the seating area, crushing several stools.

Qiao Mu had not even looked that Celestial Light Academy mentor in the face. She took out a porcelain bottle and poured out ten pills. She then struck the ten people's acupuncture points from a distance, forcing them all to open their mouths.

The pills entered each of the ten people's mouths and dissolved upon contact, leaving behind a faint medicinal fragrance in their mouths.

"This great master has incredible medical skills! My senile self is in admiration." A white-haired elder walked out from Shuntian Prefecture's Starlight Academy team. He gave Qiao Mu a friendly smile and cupped his hands courteously.

"Ah? Isn't that Starlight Academy's great pill master, Great Master Zhou?"

"Even Great Master Zhou is so respectful toward this young lady. It looks like this young lady's medical skills are truly incomparably impressive."

Qiao Mu turned around and politely returned the greeting to Great Master Zhou. "Senior is exaggerating. You flatter me by saying great master. I merely studied several years of medicine with my teacher and only know a bit."

"Ay, Little Great Master, you're too modest." Great Master Zhou waved his hand with a smile.

By this time, the ten River Horse Academy students were also slowly stirring awake.
