The Elders all agreed, and immediately a Disciple came to signal Tian Ning to start, helping her send the refined Pills up.
For Aphrodisiac Pills, such low-grade Pills that were not presentable, no one had any expectations.
So what if the furnace was full?
Things used to excite animal instincts were less useful to Cultivators than an ordinary Healing Pill.
As a result, when Tian Ning lifted the pot lid, it surprised everyone again.
"A full furnace of Top-Grade Aphrodisiac Pills?!"
You must know that Top-Grade Pills are extremely rare, requiring Pill Cultivators to completely remove impurities from the Spirit Plants and strictly control the Spirit Fire; no slack can be allowed at any stage of Alchemy. Refining Top-Grade Pills is extremely difficult!
"What good is that? With this talent, it would be better to put your mind on the Righteous Path and refine useful Pills!" A Cultivator scoffed.
"If she hadn't refined something like this Aphrodisiac Pill… even any other Pill, the Elders would have thought more highly of her," another Cultivator lamented.
"I wonder if she can refine other Top-Grade Pills?"
Seeing the Disciple carrying the Aphrodisiac Pills, the Elders had the same doubts; if she really could refine Top-Grade Pills other than Aphrodisiac Pills, she would definitely be sought after by various Sects!
"Ahem… these Aphrodisiac Pills look quite good," an Alchemy Elder said to Tian Ning, "Young Friend, can you refine other Top-Grade Pills?"
If Tian Ning could also refine other Top-Grade Pills, she would definitely be a dark horse in this Alchemy Competition.
Tian Ning nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
"Elder Liu, why would you believe what she says?" The Tai Chu Sect Sect Leader sneered, "It's not like there haven't been Disciples who lied to get into Sects in previous years."
If she were really that capable, why wouldn't she refine other Pills, but instead choose Aphrodisiac Pills?
Other Elders also held a wait-and-see attitude.
The Yun Yue Sect Sect Leader played peacemaker: "Since it's the second round of the Competition, let's see how effective these Aphrodisiac Pills are first."
Except for a few Beast Tamers, no one else was interested in these Aphrodisiac Pills.
As everyone knows, the higher the grade of Spirit Beast, the more difficult it is to breed, especially artificially raised Spirit Beasts; their offspring are extremely precious.
Although Aphrodisiac Pills can indeed help with breeding, they are only effective on some low-grade Spirit Beasts, and long-term use will lead to resistance. Some low-quality Aphrodisiac Pills, if used for a long time, may even affect the male Spirit Beast's virility…
It was just unknown how effective these Top-Grade Aphrodisiac Pills would be?
Tian Ning asked: "Do you have any powerful, rare Spirit Beasts? The more difficult to breed, the better. I only need to apply a little of this Aphrodisiac Pill to guarantee a cure!"
Everyone: "..."
Is that how you use "a cure"?
Inability to breed isn't exactly an illness…
The Tai Chu Sect Sect Leader spoke: "Doesn't the Yun Yue Sect specifically raise a male Ice Frost Dire Wolf? But for some reason, it's always unwilling to get close to the female wolves. Why don't we try this Top-Grade Aphrodisiac Pill?"
An Elder thought it inappropriate: "That Ice Frost Dire Wolf is a high-grade Spirit Beast, and besides…"
The Tai Chu Sect Sect Leader: "What's inappropriate? Since she herself chose to refine Aphrodisiac Pills, if it can't even cure a high-grade Spirit Beast, what good are the Top-Grade ones?"
The Yun Yue Sect Sect Leader gestured for a Disciple to bring the Ice Frost Dire Wolf.
Everyone waited for a while before a large, snow-white, spherical Spirit Pet was led out. Unlike the robust physique of normal wolves, probably because the Yun Yue Sect's food was too good, this Ice Frost Dire Wolf had eaten itself into a white ball, finding it difficult to even walk two steps; as soon as it came out, it lazily lay down on the ground and panted.
Its Beast Tamer Elder, presumably its Master, immediately took out some meat, worriedly saying: "Da Bai, you must be exhausted! Quickly eat something to replenish yourself!"
Tian Ning: "..."
It should be fine, just simply too fat, right?
Afterwards, Disciples led out two beautiful female Ice Frost Dire Wolves. These were what wolves should normally look like, with clearly defined muscle lines, their snow-white fur shimmering in the sunlight.
The two female Ice Frost Dire Wolves had sharp eyes, exuding a wild, untamable arrogance, while the one that had become a fat ball was like a Samoyed, with clear stupidity in its eyes.
Everyone: "..."
Would Aphrodisiac Pills really be effective in this situation?
Tian Ning wasn't worried at all; after all, the Materials were provided by the Dragon Clan, and the Ice Frost Dire Wolf was nothing compared to them.
However, seeing the Disciple about to feed the entire Pill, Tian Ning quickly stopped him!
"Fellow Cultivator, you only need to divide it into ten portions, and take one… forget it, to be safe, let's divide it into twenty portions, and take one!" she said seriously.
If the whole thing was eaten, the wolf might be exhausted before the effects wore off.
Disciple: "..."
Where did she get that confidence?
"This…" The Disciple looked at the Yun Yue Sect Sect Leader, unsure whether to listen to Tian Ning.
The Yun Yue Sect Sect Leader smiled: "Young Friend, confidence is a good thing, but you're a little too confident. Many people are waiting, this will only waste everyone's time."
Tian Ning knew exactly how potent the Aphrodisiac Pill was, so she said directly: "Just divide it into twenty portions, and take one. If it fails, I'll withdraw from the Competition myself."
After she said that, the other Sect Leaders and Elders didn't say anything more; anyway, the one who would lose face in the end would be herself.
The Pill was originally small; after being divided into one-twentieth, only a grain of rice remained. With just that little bit, could it really make the Ice Frost Dire Wolf breed?
No one would believe it anyway.
After the Disciple fed Da Bai, its lazily drooping eyelids instantly widened, and its eyes immediately lit up as it looked at the other two female Ice Frost Dire Wolves. At this moment, it no longer cared about its usual favorite raw meat; with an 'Awoo' howl, it immediately pounced on the female Ice Frost Dire Wolves, beginning to show off its virility!
Everyone: "..."
Although it was very effective, why did they have to see such a shocking sight?
The two female Ice Frost Dire Wolves were startled by Da Bai's sudden action and instinctively tried to shake it off, but Da Bai was incredibly powerful; no matter how the female beasts treated it, it persisted in fulfilling its duty!
The Yun Yue Sect's Beast Tamer Elder shed tears of relief, quickly saying: "Quickly, quickly, quickly! It's amazing that Da Bai is finally doing it! Quickly bring the other female Ice Frost Dire Wolves over!"
Everyone: "..."
Isn't this an Alchemy Competition?
Why is there such an absurd scene…
Except for the Beast Tamers, all the Cultivators present wanted to gouge out their own eyes; a proper Alchemy Competition, how did it turn into a scene of wild beast copulation?!
The other Sect Leaders and Elders were equally speechless.
The Yun Yue Sect Sect Leader was the first to react, using a piece of Black Cloth to cover the shocking scene.
"Ahem… this Aphrodisiac Pill… is indeed effective." The Yun Yue Sect Sect Leader spoke with difficulty.
The Tai Chu Sect Sect Leader looked at Tian Ning with a complex gaze. He hadn't expected this Little Girl to actually have some Ability, but thinking of his wronged granddaughter, he still said, "We don't know how long it can last. Why don't we continue the Competition and see how the effects are?"
The audience: "..."
Please, spare our eyes!
