I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 340 Such a Talent for Alchemy

She suddenly thought that her previous failure in refining the elixir might be due to her being too impatient and lacking the patience to wait and observe.

At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the alchemy furnace, followed by a strong medicinal fragrance that wafted into the air.

Liu Ruyan quickly opened the lid of the furnace and took out a round and full pill from it.

"Success!" Lu Xueyao exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded, handed the pill to Lu Xueyao and said, "This pill is for you, I hope it can bring you good luck."

Lu Xueyao took the pill, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that this pill not only represented Liu Ruyan's friendship, but also represented her support and encouragement on the road of alchemy.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their friendship became deeper.

They began to discuss the techniques and experiences of alchemy together, learning from each other and making progress together. Lu Xueyao also gradually came out of the failure of alchemy and began to achieve some success in the road of alchemy.

Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, inside the secret room.

Under the dim light, Bai Yifei's face was as gloomy as water. His eyes revealed deep jealousy and unwillingness, as if there was a flame burning deep in his heart.

"That Liu Ruyan actually has such a talent in alchemy!" he said gritting his teeth, his tone full of jealousy and resentment.

Sitting opposite him was an elder from the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, with a sinister face and a cunning gleam in his eyes.

He listened to Bai Yifei's complaints quietly, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

“Junior Brother Bai, why are you so angry?” The elder spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and low, “No matter how high your talent in alchemy is, you are just a yellow-haired girl. We in the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect are not so easily outdone.”

Bai Yifei's eyes flashed with cruelty when he heard this. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"The elder is right. I lost my composure. It's just that the appearance of Liu Ruyan makes me feel threatened. We must find a way to suppress her."

The elder nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this girl should not be underestimated. However, we in the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect are not pushovers. In my opinion, we can start with her alchemy secret book."

Bai Yifei was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the elder's intention: "Elder, do you mean that we try to seize her alchemy secret book?"

The elder smiled slightly and nodded: "That's right. As long as we can get her alchemy secrets, then her alchemy skills will not be a problem."

Bai Yifei's eyes flashed with cunning. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Leave this matter to me. I will try to get close to her and take the opportunity to seize the secret book."

The elder nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this: "Very good, Junior Brother Bai is indeed very smart. If this is accomplished, you will be a great contributor to our Xiaoyao Immortal Sect."

Bai Yifei was secretly proud in his heart. He stood up and bowed to the elder to say goodbye: "Elder, rest assured, I will not let you down."

However, he did not leave the secret room immediately, but turned around with a sinister smile on his face.

He secretly planned in his heart that he would not only seize Liu Ruyan's alchemy secrets, but also bring her disgrace to relieve his hatred.

Bai Yifei's plan did not go smoothly. He originally thought that he could easily get close to Liu Ruyan and then take advantage of the opportunity.

However, he did not expect that Liu Ruyan was so vigilant and there was always someone around her, making it impossible for him to do anything.

The sunlight shines on the bluestone slabs of the Yaowang Sect's Alchemy Square, reflecting a dazzling light.

The square was crowded with people, and monks from various sects gathered together, their eyes focused on the alchemy platform in the center of the square.

Today is the alchemy competition held by Yaowang Sect, and the most watched person is Liu Ruyan, the alchemy genius of Qitian Sect.

Liu Ruyan was dressed in green, standing quietly in front of the alchemy table, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Lu Xueyao stood beside her, cheering her on. Although the two had only been together for a short time, they were like sisters and had experienced many ups and downs together.

With the referee's order, the alchemy competition officially began.

Liu Ruyan skillfully took out the herbs and began to mix them carefully. Her movements were light and graceful, like a dancer dancing.

The audience around her were impressed by her skills and expressed their admiration.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, there was a pair of cold eyes secretly watching Liu Ruyan.

That was Bai Yifei, an inner sect disciple of Xiaoyao Xianzong. He was envious and jealous of Liu Ruyan's talent in alchemy, so he also signed up for this alchemy competition, hoping to find an opportunity to attack Liu Ruyan during the competition.

Halfway through the competition, Liu Ruyan had successfully refined a batch of pills.

The fragrance of the elixir filled the air, attracting countless voices of admiration. Seeing this, Bai Yifei became even more jealous. He took advantage of the situation and quietly threw a highly poisonous herb into Liu Ruyan's alchemy furnace.

Liu Ruyan did not notice anything unusual and continued to concentrate on refining the medicine. However, when the elixir was about to come out of the furnace, she suddenly found that the color of the flame in the furnace had changed.

She was startled and immediately realized that someone was secretly doing something.

Liu Ruyan calmly took out an antidote and skillfully added it into the furnace.

After a moment, the flame returned to its normal color. She smiled softly, as if everything was under her control.

Seeing this, Bai Yifei cried out inwardly, "Oops!" He had not expected that Liu Ruyan could resolve his evil plan so quickly. He was unwilling to accept defeat, so he decided to go all out and attack Liu Ruyan directly.

However, just as he was about to take action, Lu Xueyao suddenly stood in front of Liu Ruyan.

She looked at Bai Yifei coldly, with a vigilant light flashing in her eyes. Bai Yifei was frightened by her momentum and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

The noise and excitement of the alchemy competition gradually faded away, and only Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao were left in the alchemy room of Yaowang Sect.

The fire in the alchemy room was still burning brightly, but the enthusiasm in the two men's hearts had been cooled by the sudden incident.

Liu Ruyan's face was solemn. She searched the entire alchemy room but still couldn't find the alchemy secret book that she regarded as a treasure.

"How could this happen? I clearly put it here." Liu Ruyan murmured to herself anxiously, her eyes full of confusion and worry.

Lu Xueyao stood aside, frowning, and looked around, trying to find any possible clues. Suddenly, her eyes fell on a small window in the alchemy room. The window was half open, and a cold wind blew into the room.

"Was this window open when you left?" Lu Xueyao asked, pointing at the window.

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "I clearly closed the window when I left, how could it be..." A sharp light flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes, and she whispered, "It seems that someone has been here."

The two looked at each other and had guesses in their minds. Liu Ruyan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "It must be Bai Yifei. He wanted to attack me during the alchemy competition, and now he is trying to steal my secret book."

Lu Xueyao nodded in agreement: "This is very likely, but we don't have any evidence now, so we have to find a way to find him."

The two decided to act separately. Lu Xueyao was responsible for secretly investigating in the Yaowang Sect, while Liu Ruyan returned to the Qitian Sect to report the matter to her master Zhao Qi and ask for help.

Liu Ruyan told Zhao Qi the details of what happened. Zhao Qi frowned and said after thinking for a moment.

"This matter is of great importance. I will send someone to investigate Bai Yifei. At the same time, you must be careful to prevent him from attacking you again."

Liu Ruyan nodded, but her heart was filled with worry. She knew that the alchemy secret book was of great significance to her. It was not only related to her cultivation path, but also carried the expectations of her master and senior sisters.

At the same time, Lu Xueyao's investigation in Yaowang Sect also made progress.

She found some suspicious footprints and handprints, which, although blurry, were enough to prove that someone had sneaked into the alchemy room.

She brought the evidence back to Qitian Sect and analyzed it with Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qi. The three of them agreed that the evidence pointed to Bai Yifei.

The moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, and its bright light shone on the back mountain of Yaowang Sect.

The swaying shadows of the trees and the occasional chirping of night birds add a touch of tranquility and mystery.

In such a dark night, two figures were moving silently through the woods. They were Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao.

"Senior Sister, are you sure Bai Yifei will pass by here?" Liu Ruyan asked softly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, but there was still a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

Lu Xueyao nodded, her eyes scanning the surroundings, not missing any clues.

"According to our previous investigation, Bai Yifei is likely to choose this relatively hidden path to escape after stealing the secret book. We just need to wait and see, and we will definitely be able to catch him."

As the two were talking, suddenly, the sound of faint footsteps reached their ears.

Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao looked at each other, then immediately hid vigilantly in the bushes beside them, holding their breath and waiting quietly.

After a while, a figure appeared in their sight. The man was dressed in black and walked hurriedly. It was Bai Yifei.

He was holding a package tightly in his hand, which was obviously the stolen alchemy secret book.

Seeing Bai Yifei appear, Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao looked at each other, with a cunning light flashing in their eyes.

They followed Bai Yifei carefully, keeping a certain distance so as not to alert the enemy.

Bai Yifei seemed unaware of the pursuer behind him. He ran quickly all the way and soon arrived at a dense forest.

The trees here are so dense that the moonlight is almost blocked and cannot penetrate. The entire forest is plunged into darkness.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, intercepting Bai Yifei from the left and right.

"Bai Yifei, you finally show up!" Lu Xueyao sneered, and the long sword in her hand was already unsheathed and pointed at Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei was startled by the sudden change. After he saw the faces of the people who came, he showed a look of panic on his face, "Liu Ruyan, Lu Xueyao, why are you here?"

"Why can't we stay here?" Liu Ruyan asked, "But you, Bai Yifei, you stole my alchemy secret book, where do you want to escape to?"

Bai Yifei's face changed, and he tightly grasped the package in his hand, as if looking for a chance to escape. However, Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao had surrounded him, and there was no chance for him to escape.

"Humph, you two little girls dare to stop me?" Bai Yifei suddenly sneered and took out a dagger from his arms, "Since you are looking for death, I will grant your wish!"

After saying that, he swung his sword and rushed towards Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao. Seeing this, the two immediately rushed forward. For a moment, the sword flashed, and the three of them fought together.

However, although Bai Yifei had a good cultivation base, he soon fell into a disadvantage under the joint attack of Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao. Although his swordsmanship was sharp, every attack was cleverly resolved by the two.

Gradually, Bai Yifei began to feel overwhelmed. He cursed himself for underestimating the enemy, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to escape. Suddenly, he made a feint with his sword and turned to flee.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Lu Xueyao sneered and chased after him in a flash. Liu Ruyan followed closely behind him, and the two of them forced Bai Yifei into a desperate situation.

"Bai Yifei, you have been surrounded by us. Just hand over the secret book and we may spare your life." Liu Ruyan said coldly.

Seeing this, Bai Yifei knew that he had no way to escape. He took a deep breath and threw the package in his hand to Liu Ruyan, "Catch it!"

Liu Ruyan reached out to take the package, opened it, and inside was the stolen alchemy secret book. She was delighted, but then she looked at Bai Yifei warily.

"Hmph, you guys are awesome. This time I admit defeat." Bai Yifei snorted coldly, turned around and prepared to leave.

However, the moment he turned around, Lu Xueyao's sword was already on his neck, "Want to leave? Not that easy!"

"What do you want?" Bai Yifei's face changed. He felt the coldness of the sword and knew that he would be beheaded if he was not careful.

"Come back to Qi Tian Sect with us and accept the judgment of our master." Liu Ruyan said coldly.

She knew that this matter would not end so easily, but at least they had recovered the alchemy secret book, which could be considered an explanation to their master and senior sister.

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were sparse. Bai Yifei returned to Xiaoyao Xianzong with heavy steps, feeling exhausted and frustrated.

His clothes were torn and there were several obvious scars on his body, which were the marks left after the fierce battle with Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao.

Bai Yifei was filled with resentment and resentment. He had originally planned to steal Liu Ruyan's alchemy secrets to improve his alchemy skills and gain a higher status in the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect.

However, his plan was ruined by Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao. Not only did he fail to succeed, he was also severely injured.

After returning to the sect, Bai Yifei was immediately brought before the elders. The elders looked at his miserable appearance and showed displeasure on their faces.

"Bai Yifei, what's wrong with you?" an elder asked in a deep voice.

Bai Yifei lowered his head, not daring to look the elder in the eye. (End of this chapter)
