It turns out, they were the main characters.

But Ye Yu is an inner disciple of Drunken Dream Peak. According to other disciples, he is a rare genius and might really be able to create a miracle.

In no time, news of the alchemy competition between the two spread quietly.

Nigati's gaze inadvertently drifted to the Southern Wilderness Saintess at the back of the crowd.

It must be said that she is an extremely sexy and mature beauty. She is dressed in a bright red dress with exotic flair, which is exquisite and gorgeous. Her round and dignified face highlights the elegance and composure of a lady from a prominent family, while her slightly pale skin adds a touch of frailty that makes people feel sorry for her.

She seemed to be somewhat interested in the alchemy competition as well, her eyes showing a hint of interest.

Upon seeing this, Nigati couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Seeing this, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

He chose to compete with Ye Yu in order to attract the young lady's attention, because he knew that the young lady had little interest in battles between cultivators, so he suggested a competition in alchemy.

Through this alchemy competition, I'll also have the opportunity to try it out myself and get closer to the young lady...

As the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness Temple, Regina is a figure above all others. Her future status will definitely be no less than that of the current Three Evil Gods. If I can take this opportunity to pursue her... my future self will be on a meteoric rise.

Just as Nigati was about to look away, he suddenly seemed to realize something and his gaze fell on the young man in the black and gold robe at the back of the crowd.

Then, his brows furrowed slightly.

After the young lady returned, she secretly had someone investigate Mu Zhian's affairs, seemingly quite interested in him, which naturally made him somewhat unhappy.

However, due to the young lady's status, he dared not disobey.

Seeing Mu Zhian and the two stunning beauties beside him, who were no less beautiful than the young lady, naturally aroused some jealousy.

However... a cultivator at the third level of the Spirit Refinement Realm is not as threatening as Ye Yu.

At least Ye Yu is an alchemist, while Mu Zhian is nothing.

As if sensing Mu Zhian's gaze, Nigati gave a contemptuous sneer, then withdrew his gaze and flew towards Canghai Peak on his sword.

At the summit of Canghai Peak, there is an alchemy platform, which is most suitable for alchemy competitions.

Many people also headed to the pavilions near Canghai Peak, intending to enjoy tea while watching the contest between the two alchemists.

Mu Zhian's smile remained unchanged.

He knew perfectly well what Nigati's look had meant.

However, this had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to get involved, so he pulled Bai Ruoxi along and prepared to leave.

Meanwhile, Regina seemed to sense something and turned her head slightly to look over.

"Mu Zhian, is that it..."

She murmured to herself, a hint of doubt in her eyes as she gazed at Mu Zhian.

His primordial spirit was not strange at all, and his realm was only a very ordinary third-grade Refining Spirit. Logically speaking, he should not be able to attract the favor of so many beauties... Moreover, the existence he saw in Tianhe Garden was definitely not just at the Refining Spirit realm, but far beyond the Returning Void realm.

Who exactly is Mu Zhian, and why is he secretly protected by some powerful figure living in a small villa...?

Regina looked at Mu Zhian's primordial spirit and the cauldron within his body, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.

Soon, as the crowd gradually dispersed, she also turned her gaze away and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, she saw an alluring pale purple aura silently pass before her eyes. Regina tilted her head slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, followed by confusion.

Then, her eyes slowly widened, her red lips parted slightly, and she stared blankly at Mu Zhi'an.

Not long after, Regina snapped out of her daze, and her soft, pleasant voice, tinged with a hint of urgency, rang out:

"Young Master Mu, please wait!"

Chapter 235 "They Are Practicing Alchemy"

As Regina's soft and pleasant voice rang out, many people's eyes were involuntarily drawn to her.

But Mu Zhian seemed not to hear him and continued walking straight toward Tianhe Garden.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou glanced at the young man beside her and transmitted her voice, "It seems that the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness was calling you just now."

Mu Zhian's expression remained unchanged, but a faint smile appeared on his face. He also transmitted his voice, "It's okay, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Wei Mengrou raised her eyebrows slightly, and her rosy lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to ask something.

But when she saw the smile on Mu Zhian's face, she held back what she wanted to say.

The maid who knew Mu Zhian well knew very well that whenever her young master showed such a mysterious smile, it was never a good thing.

Or perhaps... whenever Mu Zhian shows this expression, he is definitely plotting something in secret.

Ignoring me...?

Regina frowned in disbelief and said, "Young Master Mu, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."

Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but glance at the boy beside her and said, "Mu Lang, aren't you going to listen to what she has to say?"

Mu Zhian gently shook his head and said, "I've already promised you that I'd go back and play chess and have tea with you later, so I won't worry about anything else for now."

"And we haven't fed Sister Lin Ling yet today."

Feeding... The elegant and gentle Miss Bai seemed to have been amused, but because she was outside, she tried her best to maintain her ladylike demeanor.

The dignified spirit dragon of the Liangyi Sect is described by Mu Zhian as being fed like a domestic cat... Thinking about it this way, it's strangely amusing.

However, since Mu Zhian had already said so much, Bai Ruoxi naturally didn't say anything more.

Miss Bai wasn't particularly interested in most things outside the family, and besides, Regina was a great beauty. Since Mu Zhi'an didn't plan to have any contact with her, she could rest assured.

Watching the three figures gradually disappear, Regina, who appeared sickly and pitiful, couldn't help but have a slight flicker in her eyes, a hint of doubt appearing in them.

As the number one genius in the Southern Wilderness, coupled with her own appearance, talent, and background, Regina had countless suitors in the Southern Wilderness in the past.

This holy maiden of the Southern Wilderness has always been quite confident in her beauty.

As a result, when she took the initiative to chat with a cultivator at the third level of the Spirit Refinement stage, she was ignored instead...?

Regina quickly shook her head again, rejecting this somewhat outlandish idea.

He probably wasn't ignoring me, he just didn't hear me...

Come to think of it, how could anyone choose to ignore her when she strikes up a conversation?

Moreover, Mu Zhian's primordial spirit carries a faint pinkish aura, which means that he has good luck with women and has the desire to take the initiative... Under such circumstances, how could he possibly ignore a beautiful woman who takes the initiative to speak to him?

Whether it was self-consolation or genuine confidence in her beauty, Regina quickly composed herself. Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she followed him with small steps, calling out again in a clear voice, "Young Master Mu, please wait."

The sound of this voice caused some cultivators who were planning to go to Canghai Peak to turn their attention to it. After recognizing Rejana's identity, some of the cultivators looked on with surprise.

This Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness has only been at the Liangyi Sect for one day... how could she have gotten involved with a disciple of the Liangyi Sect...?

For a moment, some disciples who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, their eyes glancing at Regina, intentionally or unintentionally.

It must be said that she was indeed an extremely beautiful oval-faced woman. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her skin was like cream, and although her slender hands were not very healthy-looking, they did not look out of place at all. Instead, they added to her delicate and frail appearance, making her seem pitiful.

Of course, this only shows that she looks sickly. Not to mention that few cultivators are so weak, the other party is a saintess carefully selected by the Southern Wilderness to participate in the Ascension Conference. It would be absolutely impossible for her to be sickly and weak and have no strength.

As Regina spoke, Mu Zhian stopped and turned to look at the woman walking gracefully toward him.

A hint of doubt flashed in Mu Zhian's eyes, but then a kind and gentle smile quickly appeared on his face as he asked, "Miss Regina, is there anything I can help you with?"

Regina tucked a stray lock of hair that had slipped from her ear, then raised her eyes and gazed at Mu Zhian, saying, "The person who accompanied me today was having an alchemy competition with Young Master Ye at Canghai Peak, but I don't know where Canghai Peak is."

"If it's possible, would Young Master Mu be willing to accompany me and show me around the Liangyi Sect? What do you think?"

The invitation was perfectly natural. She had a slightly sickly appearance, her eyes were a little moist, and her face was delicate and pretty. Any normal man would probably be unable to resist being drawn to her at that moment.

However, Mu Zhian has become somewhat immune to beautiful women.

Or perhaps, having just finished having sex several times last night, he was still in a state of euphoria and therefore didn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

"Young Master Mu, would you do me the honor?" Regina spoke softly again, her bright eyes gazing tenderly at Mu Zhi'an.

But hidden deep in his eyes was a hint of curiosity that was hard to conceal.

Although Mu Zhian is at the third level of the Refining Spirit Realm, there are too many mysteries surrounding him. Not to mention what kind of beings live in Tianhe Garden, which makes her feel fear.

The sheer amount of attention given to Mu Zhian's innate furnace, and even the spiritual energy she sensed within it, is quite intriguing.

In any case, we must figure this out before the Ascension Ceremony begins.

If Mu Zhi'an is truly a born furnace and possesses the aura of the Heavenly Dao, then his value would likely far surpass that of an Emperor-grade medicinal herb…

Seeing that Mu Zhian did not answer for a long time, Regina came back to her senses and called out again in a slightly tentative tone, "Young Master Mu...?"

Mu Zhian gently shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I already have an appointment today."

"Miss Regina, please have someone else take you to Canghai Peak."

After saying that, he took Bai Ruoxi's hand and prepared to leave.

Regina raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at Mu Zhi'an's back, and transmitted her voice again: "Young Master Mu, are you a born furnace cauldron?"

As she spoke, a pair of silver eyes, as cold as a deep pool, calmly gazed at his departing figure, as if wanting to see the surprise or other expression on his face when he turned around.

After all, the innate furnace was a very important secret to Mu Zhian, and now that she had discovered it, even the most composed person would be extremely surprised.

Just as Regina had predicted, after hearing her question, Mu Zhian, who was about to leave, abruptly stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to look at the Southern Wilderness Saintess behind him.

His face first showed confusion, then gradually turned to surprise, until finally, his gaze was fixed on her, and he transmitted his voice, "How did you know about this?!"

Regina's slightly pale lips pursed slightly, forming a very beautiful curve, and she transmitted her voice: "Young Master Mu, there is no need to be nervous. I do not intend to reveal this matter. I am just interested in your innate furnace and would like to talk to you about it."

As she finished speaking, a pair of silver eyes quietly stared at the frail young nobleman. Her face seemed calm, but her eyes held a sense of composure and confidence, with a faint smile that only a person in a superior position would show when victory was assured.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded: "I understand. Since Miss Regina doesn't know where Canghai Peak is, then I'll take you there."

At this point, he turned to look at Bai Ruoxi beside him and continued, "Ruoxi, you go back with Sister Mengrou first, I'll be right back."

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian casually, and seeing his exceptionally clear and innocent eyes, which conveyed an expression of 'I have no interest in women,' she finally nodded gently.

But as he looked away, he inadvertently glanced at the Southern Wilderness Saintess, who was wearing a low-cut long dress and had a shapely and sexy figure.

"Be careful," she whispered.

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, Wei Mengrou glanced meaningfully at Regina, who had a faint smile on her face and slightly pale skin, and transmitted her voice in the same way:

"Her constitution is somewhat strange; she seems to be able to see through people."

Feeling the cold gaze of the maid in the yellow dress, Mu Zhi'an exchanged a brief glance with her and then smiled as he transmitted his voice, "Is Sister Mengrou worried about me?"
