Seeing Tan Yun's successful challenge, the Danmai and herb garden disciples of Huangfu Sacred Sect were unable to recover for a long time.
They felt as if they were in a dream, unable to believe what they had just heard was real!
After regaining their senses, tears filled their eyes:
"Big Niu, did you hear that? Tan Yun..."
“I heard it… I heard it!”
“……”
Luo Fan and Song Hong were in tears.
In contrast, the six chiefs of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, who had been in charge of tools, symbols, and formation lineages, wore forced smiles.
Dantai Xuanzhong, being genuine, was also filled with tears of joy at this moment.
Because Tan Yun had created a miracle!
He became the first person in the alchemical arts grand competition, which had lasted for fifty thousand years among the three great ancient sects, to successfully challenge and create a supreme sub-respect elixir!
What excited Dantai Xuanzhong even more was that in nearly ten thousand years of competitions, the Danmai had never achieved such remarkable results. With just the second round of the alchemical arts competition finished, the Huangfu Sacred Sect had already scored an impressive 5890 points!
They had left the Divine Soul Celestial Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect far behind!
“Tan Yun!” A melodious voice reached his ears. The moment Tan Yun turned around, he was greeted by a sweet fragrance reminiscent of a maiden, and immediately felt a soft sensation in his chest.
It was Zhong Wu Shi Yao, who had embraced Tan Yun with affection.
“I knew you were the strongest.” Zhong Wu Shi Yao raised her delicate head shyly and tiptoed, giving Tan Yun a light kiss on the cheek, akin to a dragonfly skimming over water.
Tan Yun smiled warmly, wrapping his arms around the beautiful and radiant Zhong Wu Shi Yao.
Seeing this scene, Tang Xinying, who considered Zhong Wu Shi Yao as her younger sister, smiled slightly.
“Wuu—” At that moment, a painful groan reached Zhuge Yu’s ears from behind.
Zhuge Yu turned around abruptly, only to see Nangong Yuqin in a pink floor-length gown, her delicate body trembling, her breathtaking beauty pale to the point of being alarming!
Nangong Yuqin's face was etched with pain, her soft jade-like hand pressed against her heart!
“Qinger, what’s wrong?” Zhuge Yu hurriedly stood up, supporting Nangong Yuqin, her gaze filled with anxiety. “Is your heart condition acting up again?”
“Mm.” Nangong Yuqin pressed her hand against her heart and nodded slightly, her eyes never leaving Tan Yun, who was holding Zhong Wu Shi Yao.
Zhuge Yu's expression grew grave. “Don’t worry, Qinger. Since your mother entrusted you to me, I will definitely cure your heart condition.”
Zhuge Yu's mood was heavy; it had been over four years since Nangong Yuqin had been sent to her side while unconscious by her mother.
Upon diagnosis, Zhuge Yu discovered that Nangong Yuqin’s heartbreak and extreme despair had caused her heart meridians to rupture.
Zhuge Yu had asked Nangong Yuqin's mother what had happened to her daughter, what she had experienced to end up like this.
Though Nangong Yuqin's mother had never spoken a word about it, Zhuge Yu could guess that Nangong Yuqin had certainly experienced the pain of life and death separation!
After Zhuge Yu saved Nangong Yuqin, she found that someone had forcibly erased her memories.
Over the past four years, Zhuge Yu had known that Nangong Yuqin often endured unbearable heartache!
“Thank you, Master. I feel much better now,” said Nangong Yuqin, her face still pale.
“Sister, are you okay?” Nangong Ruxue approached Nangong Yuqin, her expression anxious.
“Don’t worry, sister. I’m fine.” Nangong Yuqin forced a smile, but pain was visible in her expression.
She did not understand why, at that moment when she saw Tan Yun holding Zhong Wu Shi Yao, her heartache had struck harder than ever before!
Apart from the pain, there was a sense of inexplicable anxiety, as if something that belonged to her had been taken away!
“What is wrong with me?” As Nangong Yuqin pondered, the pain in her heart gradually faded…
