Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 357 Green Diamond Pill

In the midst of everyone's anticipation, Lu Yu finally completed the alchemy just as three hours had passed.

"Open!"

He forcefully lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace, and several pills jumped out from inside.

"Wait, what did I see? Green pills?"

"Huh, the pills I saw are also green. Could it be that these pills have gone bad?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! After all that effort, he ended up with a furnace of useless pills. You've lost, miss."

Everyone present were cultivators, and although the pills were quickly collected into bottles, everyone had at least seen the color of the pills clearly.

They were indeed green... but everyone knew that the Diamond Pill was supposed to be white.

They were certain that no matter how you calculated it, these green pills couldn't be qualified as Diamond Pills, right?

"Hehe, let's laugh for now. We'll see when the referee announces the result."

As soon as Mingxin saw the change in the color of the pills, she became even more certain.

This must be the same method Lu Yu used during their previous competition, using the Half-Life Pill to enhance the properties of the pills.

And if he wanted to refine a perfect pill, he should be holding it in his hand.

"Hehe, you're just talking big. But it doesn't matter, it won't be long anyway."

As Gu Si spoke, he shamelessly fixed his gaze on her, his face filled with admiration.

Because of his appearance, he had very little luck with women, so he could only gamble or occasionally find some women in town to spend money on.

But how could those women compare to Mingxin?

She was a woman even Lu Yu found stunning. Especially after being nurtured recently, her skin even emitted a seductive glow.

Gu Si couldn't help but drool as he looked at her.

"Lu Yu, do we still need to watch?"

The leading referee glanced at the green pills in Lu Yu's hand and furrowed his brows.

Just now, he counted, and there were indeed ten pills, but the color... it was hard to put into words.

He had never heard of Diamond Pills being refined into green ones.

Just like the disciple from the Medicine King Valley said earlier, could it be that the pills had gone bad from being refined for too long?

"Let's take a look."

Lu Yu smiled lightly and handed over the pills.

There was no choice. Since he didn't admit defeat, the referee could only open the bottle and carefully go through the procedure.

The three of them really thought they were just going through the motions.

But when they picked up the pills and took a look, they were all stunned.

"Huh? Such beautiful pill patterns."

"There are pill patterns, so they're not useless pills. Could it be that the Diamond Pill can mutate?"

"Let's take a closer look before making any conclusions."

Seeing the beautiful pill patterns on the pills, none of them dared to be careless and continued to carefully observe these strange Diamond Pills.

After inspecting for a while, the referees were surprised to find that, apart from the difference in color, the fragrance of these pills was exactly the same as that of the Diamond Pill.

And the quality was even better, all of them were top-grade without a doubt.

This was an unheard-of situation.

"What do you think?"

"It's undoubtedly a top-grade Diamond Pill, but why is it this color?"

"Could it be a problem with the materials? If that's the case, it might be unfair to judge him as losing."

The referees discussed for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.

With this unexpected turn of events, even the Elder of the Medicine King Valley and the Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall in the audience were starting to get impatient.

"What happened? Why hasn't the result been announced yet?" Elder Gu of the Medicine King Valley asked with some dissatisfaction.

It was clear that Gu Liu had won this competition, so why wasn't it announced? Could there be something fishy going on?

The referees glanced at each other and suddenly had a clever idea.

"Elder Gu, there has been a slight problem here. We would appreciate your help in overseeing it," one of the referees said.

"What kind of problem could there be?"

"Elder Gu, since the referees feel conflicted, it would be troublesome if you could take a look. We believe that with your reputation, you wouldn't do anything biased."

"If that's the case... then I'll take a look."

Elder Gu nodded.

After all, the facts were right in front of him. Gu Liu had successfully completed a perfect alchemy. If he couldn't win even with that, then something was definitely fishy.

So he didn't think too much about it and quickly went to the martial arts arena.

Naturally, his status was higher than that of the referees.

When he approached, the referee handed him the diamond pill that Lu Yu had refined.

"Why does this diamond pill look like this? Is it a waste pill that you want me to see?"

Elder Gu received the pill with a disdainful expression.

But as soon as he held the pill in his hand, he felt that something was off.

The beautiful pill pattern, the strong medicinal power... If it wasn't a diamond pill, then what was it?

But the color seemed off no matter how he looked at it...

After all, Elder Gu was the elder of the Medicine King Valley and had seen a lot. He knew that some pills would change color after being refined due to certain reasons, but their medicinal properties remained the same.

It seemed that the diamond pill in his hand could be explained by this reason, and even more so.

"Hiss..."

Elder Gu pondered over the diamond pill for a long time, but in the end, he could only helplessly glance at Gu Liu.

Gu Liu, who had been feeling proud, was startled when he saw the look from Elder Gu.

"What does Elder Gu mean? Could it be that I'm going to lose?"

"Sixth Junior Brother, what does Elder Gu mean?"

"I don't know. Could it be that Elder Gu is biased towards that kid?"

All the disciples of the Medicine King Valley felt the gaze from Elder Gu and a sense of unease rose from the bottom of their hearts.

"Cough, based on my judgment, this young man's pill underwent a mutation during the refining process. The diamond pill he refined is slightly stronger than Gu Liu's, that's all."

After all, he wasn't a referee, and it would be awkward for him to personally announce the outcome involving Gu Liu's victory or defeat.

After stating his judgment, he gave Gu Liu a helpless expression, then put down the pill and returned to his seat.

With his judgment, the referees also had a clear understanding.

Actually, they had also judged that the diamond pill refined by Lu Yu was more powerful, but they had never encountered such a situation before, so they didn't dare to make a hasty conclusion.

Now that they had the endorsement of Elder Gu from the Medicine King Valley, they no longer had any reservations.

"Now we announce that Lu Yu is the winner of this competition!"

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing this result, Mingxin jumped up excitedly.

On the other side, the disciples of the Medicine King Valley all had gloomy faces, as if they had lost their fathers.

If it had been the referees' own judgment, they might have questioned it.

But since Elder Gu from the Medicine King Valley personally went up to inspect, would he still favor an outsider?

So even if they were unwilling, they had to accept this result.

"Haha, kid, what number am I? Don't forget to pay me back for the flowers. Otherwise, I'll have to go to the Medicine King Valley and have a talk with you all."

Mingxin took advantage of the situation and smugly said to Gu Si.
