However, this man was now completely healed! I also can't sense the poison I had placed in him anymore...
Gu Ruoyun frowned. She did not know why but she could sense something awfully familiar about that man. This sensation reminded her of another person...
"Looks like his acquaintance with Shi Yun was not a simple one. Unless I'm mistaken, the man who had healed him was the person who had once resided within Shi Yun... No, he was the one who had created Shi Yun! He was also the culprit behind Zixie's transformation into a phoenix egg!"
Zixie!
As she thought of that demonic yet handsome man, a murderous intent began to stir from within Gu Ruoyun like a torrential storm.
The Honorable Sir Tianqi sensed the murderous intent from her and looked at her with astonishment. However, he did not say a thing.
After a long pause, he spoke, "I don't know what's going on either. You had clearly crippled this man during the Divine Trials yet in just one day, all of his wounds had been completely healed. Little girl, I know that there's a vendetta between the two of you but now is not the time for you to have your revenge. If you wish for revenge, your time will come! This guy and his bullshit Master have always wanted to harm your brother yet they have never prevailed. I don't plan on letting them off either."
Gu Ruoyun slowly calmed her murderous intent and quietly watched the center of the plaza as if nothing had happened.
The Honorable Sir Tianqi obviously had not known that the real reason behind Gu Ruoyun's murderous intent was not because of this man but was because of the person who had healed him!
"By the way, little girl, do you see that person on the seat of honor? That's the Sect Master of the Spirit Sect! That guy next to him is that fellow's Master, Lingshang."
The Honorable Sir Tianqi looked at Gu Ruoyun as he explained.
Gu Ruoyun did not reply. Her thoughts were unreadable.
Just then, the middle-aged man on the seat of honor finally rose to his feet. He looked down at the crowd with clear, sharp eyes and spoke in a stern voice, "I'm sure all of you can recall my previous announcement. Anyone who manages to refine the pill from the pill formula shall be promoted to the position of the number one elder. Now that Lingshang's disciple, Kun Nan, has managed to obtain the method of refining this pill, this position will be given to Elder Lingshang if he is truly able to refine the pill. Does anyone have any objections?"
Hearing this, the crowd looked at each other but no one showed any signs of objection. If Kun Nan was truly able to refine the pill, they would have nothing to say against it.
"Alright. Since none of you have any objections, let the pill refinement process begin. I'll be witnessing this momentous occasion with everyone else."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man slowly sat back in his chair with an icy yet severe gaze. He focused his attention completely on the man at the center of the plaza.
Kun Nan smiled complacently, his face awash with arrogance. After uncovering the pill cauldron, he gathered the herbs and threw them into the cauldron.
Seeing this, Gu Ruoyun shook her head with an exasperated look on her face.
"Lady Gu, is something wrong with his pill refinement process?" The Honorable Sir Tianqi noticed Gu Ruoyun's reaction and asked in astonishment.
"Indeed." Gu Ruoyun nodded, "It's clear to see that Kun Nan is a genius. The steps on that pill formula were quite messy which caused you to be unsuccessful in your refinement. He has managed to arrange the herbs in a neat order but..."
