Miracle Doctor Baby

Chapter 218: 218. He wanted this woman.

Di Minghan, concealed within the shadows, had a brief flash in his eyes as he caught sight of Mo Jiuli’s medicinal materials. If he wasn’t mistaken, the medicinal plants the woman had were recently harvested, weren’t they! But given the variety, it would be impossible for all those plants to be growing in one location, let alone be freshly harvested by her...

His gaze once again swept over Mo Jiuli, thinking back to how she had vanished before his eyes with just one toss of the array plate. A hint of a smile played on Di Minghan’s lips as if he’d realized something...

This woman is indeed extraordinary, Di Minghan evaluated to himself...

Mo Jiuli had an uncanny feeling that someone was watching her from the shadows, a hint of a presence that might not even be there. Despite searching diligently with her divine sense, she couldn’t spot anyone...

Strange, does it mean a powerful figure is hiding in the shadows? Mo Jiuli wondered. With her current cultivation base, even if the Mo Family Ancestor and his accomplices tried to hide, she should be able to detect their positions...

But now, she felt a distinct sensation of being observed, yet she couldn’t find the source of it, making her more cautious...

Watching Mo Jiuli’s stance tensing up slightly, Di Minghan’s smile grew more profound!

Ye Qianzhong regarded Mo Jiuli’s alchemy furnace and flames with contempt, his confidence in his own skill bolstered! However, out of caution, he popped two elixirs. After all, she hadn’t held back her blows earlier...

This also led Ye Qianzhong to take another look at Mo Jiuli. Shouldn’t she also have felt the effects of their clash? But she apparently wasn’t affected at all...

Could it be that she’s stronger than him? Dismissing the possibility immediately, Ye Qianzhong theorized that the woman must have had some magical treasure protecting her, otherwise, there was absolutely no chance she would have emerged unscathed...

Ignoring Ye Qianzhong’s scrutiny, Mo Jiuli began to throw the medicinal materials into the Alchemy Furnace in a set sequence. Her movements were fluid and unbroken, leaving the spectators astounded...

Aside from Ye Qianzhong busying himself with refining the elixir, all eyes gathered on Mo Jiuli, as if they were watching a performance...

Ye Qianzhong, who had just finished refining his medicinal materials, noticed something amiss. Lifting his eyes, he saw that everyone’s attention was focused on Mo Jiuli...

Feeling somewhat disgruntled, he glanced at Mo Jiuli, who was sitting serenely, watching her Alchemy Furnace, all the while munching on a spiritual fruit. Her relaxed posture hardly indicated that she was refining pills, rather, it appeared as if she was merely sitting there and resting...

”Humph, what a show-off!” Yu Qianzhong cursed internally.

He then continued to refine his elixir, now utterly convinced that Mo Jiuli was no grandmaster-level alchemist. He even suspected that she was not able to refine any elixir at all and was just putting on a show...

Did she really believe that her act alone could produce a grandmaster-class elixir? What a joke! He wondered what she would present for comparison once the time came...

As time ticked away, the refining processes were nearing their end and the sky also gradually darkened. The evening’s lingering light fell upon Mo Jiuli, making her look like a beautiful red lotus basking in the sunset...

Di Minghan’s gaze deepened as he watched Mo Jiuli. Regardless who this woman belonged to, he had taken an interest in her! He decided, this woman was his to claim...

Di Minghan’s thoughts caused a brief show of his aura. Almost imperceptibly, Mo Jiuli, hiding a twitching fingertip under her sleeve, released an almost undetectable fragrance...

The faint scent swiftly drifted towards the positions of Di Minghan and Guardian Hua. Caught off guard, Di Minghan barely had time to block his nose with his sleeve, providing no aid for Guardian Hua behind him...

”My Lord, I...” Guardian Hua slurred, before passing out mid-sentence...

”Idiot!” Di Minghan cursed under his breath, and with a mere thought, Guardian Hua’s figure vanished.

Next time, he would bring Bai Zhe along. At least that fellow wouldn’t be poisoned unconscious so easily!

He cast another glance at Mo Jiuli, whose fierce assault was bolder than he had expected. But this made it all the more interesting, didn’t it...

Who would have reckoned that there were actually two people lurking in the shadows, and that her poisonous fragrance managed to eliminate only one with the other escaping unscathed...

But did he really think that was the end of it? That would be too naive...

Mo Jiuli raised her head and flashed a bright smile towards Di Minghan, which caused his heart to flutter. Just as he began to question what she intended, a sudden intense heat surged from his stomach...

”Damn, that damned bastard!”

With eyes darkening, Di Minghan glared in Mo Jiuli’s direction for a while, and then faded into the background...

”Little Wildcat, we shall meet again!” After Di Minghan vanished, a teasing voice echoed in Mo Jiuli’s ear...

Mo Jiuli pondered, the voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere but couldn’t quite place it...

She shrugged it off when she couldn’t figure it out, after all, the man was meant to have a rough time today anyway...

She refocused on her alchemy, dismissing all distractions. This type of elixirs was nothing more than an appetizer for her, something she could successfully refine even with her eyes closed...

No one in the crowd had noticed the small exchange that had happened between her and Di Minghan.

”Ding...”

With a light chime, a rich fragrance of the elixir wafted from Ye Qianzhong’s alchemy furnace, lingering in the air...

”Wow, it smells so good! He truly is a grandmaster-level alchemist! This fragrance is so strong!”

”Yes, yes! He is amazing! This must be the crucial step for condensing elixirs!”

The crowd’s attention shifted to Ye Qianzhong again, clearly anticipating that he could be the first to complete the elixir...

”Bang!”

At this moment, Mo Jiuli lightly tapped on her furnace wall. The lid of the alchemy furnace opened automatically under the amazed gazes of the crowd...

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

Several elixirs flew out from the furnace. A white porcelain bottle appeared in Mo Jiuli’s hand. With a wave, she caught all the elixirs in the porcelain bottle...

This scene occurred too fast, it even caught Ye Qianzhong, who was about to succeed in condensing the elixir, by surprise. Thanks to his skills, he maintained his composure and continued to perform the final step of condensing the elixir...

Moments later, Ye Qianzhong also completed his elixir. As he stored away his pills and glanced over at Mo Jiuli, who was watching him with an amused smile, his expression darkened...

However, he was quite confident about his own elixir, primarily because he hadn’t even detected a hint of fragrance from Mo Jiuli’s so-called elixir, hence, he was convinced that she must have created a failed elixir...
