With the bet between the two presidents of the General Union, the forces in Tiancheng began to stir.
Over the years, all matters of the General Union had been handled by Ou Yuanwu.
He was ruthless and insidious in his actions. If it weren't for the existence of Zixingzhou, he might have seized power long ago.
Many people had suffered at Ou Yuanwu's hands. So when they heard about this incident, they all hoped that President Ye would win.
On the other hand, those who were in cahoots with Ou Yuanwu hoped that he would win.
Slowly, the scope expanded. Not only did all the major forces in Tiancheng know about it, but other forces also started to take notice.
After all, the General Union was highly prestigious in Tiancheng. If one could gain some benefits from it, their family might achieve a major breakthrough.
So more people came to watch the competition.
Li Muchuan had participated in many such competitions, but he had never seen so many people before.
This made his mind start to stir.
If he could win this competition, his name would spread even further.
Thinking of this, Li Muchuan became even more focused when refining pills.
Yan Xiao and the others felt the increasing number of people, and a flicker of worry flashed across their eyes.
Su Bing even asked directly, "Yan Xiao, do you think this will bring trouble to our master?"
"Surely there will be trouble, but A Qin knows how to handle things." Although Yan Xiao said so, he was still a bit worried.
Sun Jian also chimed in, "Among these people, if there are those who hope the vice - president will win, Elder Feng will be in danger."
"Now there are two forces pulling against each other, and Li Muchuan and Elder Feng are right in the middle of this tug - of - war," Ke Ruxia said.
Yan Xiao didn't reply. He understood that A Qin was creating momentum.
If A Qin won in the end, their recruitment would go more smoothly.
However, now that so many forces knew about it, it might not be easy for A Qin to win.
"President, many major forces from Tiancheng have come outside," the confidant of Ye Chengkang whispered in his ear.
Ye Chengkang didn't say a word, but Ou Yuanwu was very pleased.
Because he was certain that Li Muchuan would win this time.
So he couldn't wait for so many people to come. By then, if Feng Yuqin lost, Ye Chengkang wouldn't be able to go back on his word.
Thinking that after the final competition tomorrow, the General Union would finally belong to him, the smile in Ou Yuanwu's eyes couldn't be hidden.
The other presidents were a bit fidgety.
After all, this incident had caused quite a stir. It didn't matter much to other forces, but they were members of the Alchemy Union, which was related to the General Union in Tiancheng.
The current upheaval in the General Union was of uncertain consequence to them.
Of course, Song Jianming was an exception.
Previously, Ou Yuanwu had made it clear that if Zhongyu couldn't improve this year, they would cut off the supply of some medicinal herbs and treasures.
Since things were already at their worst, they couldn't get any worse.
So no matter what the result of this competition was, Zhongyu would gain something.
Looking at Feng Yuqin's calm expression, Song Jianming felt even more at ease.
"Do you think Feng Yuqin can successfully refine the pills?" someone asked doubtfully.
Feng Yuqin was able to refine pills this time, but she didn't speed up to overtake Li Muchuan.
She was just showing her strength without going overboard. After all, it was already quite high - profile for everyone to know that she could refine pills.
Moreover, she was young.
Although Li Muchuan was more powerful than her, he was almost twice her age.
So in any case, her talent was better, and this was her way of showing off her talent.
If people wanted to gain benefits from her, they would have to join the Dark Night Pavilion. She wouldn't give benefits to irrelevant people.
On the other hand, if people thought she had great talent but couldn't beat Li Muchuan, then the president would lose.
Only if she won could she leave a deeper impression on everyone.
In fact, Feng Yuqin underestimated her own alchemy ability. She had already left a deep impression on most people.
She was beautiful, young, had strong alchemy skills, and was calm and composed. Most people had a good impression of her.
Especially those who knew that Feng Yuqin had a spiritual pet but couldn't seize it. After giving up their thoughts, their views of Feng Yuqin became more objective.
"Why hasn't this woman failed in pill - refining yet?" Mu Weizhu stared fixedly at Feng Yuqin, her face twisted with hatred.
There was also a look of jealousy in Hong Xiaoxiao's eyes. "She really does have some alchemy skills."
Mu Weizhu's gaze turned even colder. "Feng Yuqin is being so high - profile. In the future, she will have more choices. It will be even harder for me to get her into the White Flame Sect."
She wanted Feng Yuqin dead. Since she couldn't do it outside, it would be most suitable to get her into the White Flame Sect.
But Feng Yuqin was being too high - profile and had caught the attention of many people. It was a bit late for Mu Weizhu to make a move, which made her look rather unpleasant.
On the other side, Wen Shuxi was also watching Feng Yuqin's competition. He wasn't as stupid as Mu Weizhu. He could see some clues from Feng Yuqin's alchemy process.
Especially her expression. A sly smile curled up on his lips. "I didn't expect to meet such an interesting person while on this mission."
Hearing this, the guard beside him looked up at Feng Yuqin who was in the competition and asked, "My lord, our mission isn't finished yet."
Wen Shuxi's gaze remained fixed on Feng Yuqin, but he spoke to his guard. "Watch it first and then go."
The guard was stunned. He looked in the direction of Feng Yuqin, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
When had his lord ever been interested in an irrelevant person?
If he was really interested in someone, most of them would end up dead in his hands.
Of course, the young master of the White Flame Sect was an exception.
His lord had set many traps for Mo Xuanye, but they had all been foiled.
So he thought that the only person who had really interested his lord, whom he wanted to kill but couldn't, was Mo Xuanye.
"Master, there are a lot of eyes on you now," Xiao Ying said.
"Master, are you going to show your alchemy strength so that everyone knows you're good at it?" Xiao Jin asked.
"What do you think those people will do if I'm good at alchemy and have a spiritual pet?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"They'll probably send someone to kill you or try to recruit you," Xiao Ying said. "This time, it won't be a small - scale matter. Those who come might be important figures from various forces."
"Then what do you think they'll do if I refuse?" Feng Yuqin asked again.
Xiao Ying and Xiao Jin thought for a while and said, "They'll kill you."
"And then?" Feng Yuqin asked again. She kept stimulating Xiao Ying and Xiao Jin's thinking ability, making them follow her train of thought.
Xiao Jin didn't like to use his brain on normal days. This was already a brain - racking situation for him, so he simply gave up. "Master, I can't think of it."
Feng Yuqin didn't answer and waited for Xiao Ying's reply.
