My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Lou Mu Yan’s firebird fell into the pill cauldron and turned into a cluster of burning flames. Controlling it with her mind, it refined the Spiritual Herbs in the cauldron with flames that were occasionally big, occasionally small.

She ignored the stunned and surprised voices around her, concentrating on refining the pills in the cauldron.

She had a total of five Nine Forms Ice King Lotus seeds from Headmaster Feng. She gave one to Miao Miao and one to Bing Ji, who also had the water attribute, and the remaining three were all prepared to be used to refine Grade 6 pills.

Originally, she planned to wait to refine the Nine Forms Ice Soul Pill after the Grand Competition of the Six Major Sects. After all, refining Grade 6 high-level pills would attract a Pill Thunder, and she didn’t want to attract other people to covet what she had.

But now that Wei Yu and Bai Fei Yao were both refining Initial-Level Grade 6 pills, if she wanted to win the competition, she could only refine even higher-level pills. Since both of them had exposed their ability as Grade 6 Alchemists, then it didn’t matter if she attracted Pill Thunder anymore.

Lou Mu Yan calmly and skilfully controlled the flame to refine pills. Even if Bai Fei Yao wanted to play tricks, she couldn’t do anything anymore, because she found that her own Spirit Flame’s power wasn’t as strong as Lou Mu Yan’s.

Bai Fei Yao’s mind was affected a lot when Lou Mu Yan took out her Spirit Flame.

[PU!] It was just one distraction, and the refining of a high-level Spiritual Herb in her pill cauldron failed.

Her eyes were filled with sinister colours and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose.

Why? Why did that woman have such a strong Spirit Flame? Was that woman her nemesis? Why did she always go against her?

Bai Fei Yao’s success rate in refining Grade 6 pills weren’t very high to begin with. Now, affected by Lou Mu Yan, she failed to refine three Spiritual Herbs in a row, which completely broke the emotions that she wanted to suppress in order to calm down.

“Yao’er, adjust your state first before continuing to refine.”

Just when Bai Fei Yao’s mind was affected by Lou Mu Yan, Ancestor Bai’s voice transmission sounded in her mind: “You need to believe in yourself. If you can’t, then use your Wood Communication Spiritual Body.”

His granddaughter’s mind had already been shaken by Lou Mu Yan. If she couldn’t refine a Grade 6 pill today, then it would inevitably leave a heart demon that couldn’t be removed.

Ancestor Bai stood in a secret area in the Heavenly Secret Palace, his face filled with a murderous aura, but he couldn’t act against Lou Mu Yan right now, so he could only send Bai Fai Yao a telepathic message to make her calm down.

When Bai Fei Yao heard the voice of Ancestor Bai, it was as if she had suddenly found some support and her expression that looked a little jaded instantly sharpened again.

She sucked in a deep breath, took out a Spiritual Herb and began to refine again, her mind much stabler than before.

Lou Mu Yan had discovered Bai Fei Yao’s state already. A meaningful smile rose on her lips.

She had very strong Mental Energy, so she felt the Mental Energy that telepathically spoke to Bai Fei Yao just now.

Did they think that after refining a Grade 6 pill, she wouldn’t give rise to a heart demon? Nothing’s so easy.

As long as she won Bai Fei Yao today, with that woman’s usual over-confidence and scheming, she would definitely be given a mental blow. It was impossible not to leave a heart demon.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t pay attention to Bai Fei Yao’s movements anymore and gradually let her mind free, entering a state with only herself.

When she was free from any distractions, her eyes were like blazing torches and she began to concentrate wholly on refining the lotus seed of the Nine Forms Ice King Lotus, which required extremely strong fire control and no flaws.

The seats of the referees.

“Lou Mu Yan actually entered the Empty State when refining pills, such talent is truly amazing!” At this moment, where was the deep and solemn expression the chief referee of the Pill Tower always had—it was filled with shock and amazement.

The several Elders of the Array Alliance also had their eyes wide open, “What? She entered the Empty State now?”

Although they didn’t understand alchemy, but it didn’t prevent them from knowing the deep meaning behind the Empty State.

The Empty State was a state that occurred while practicing specialisations where one felt as if there was no one around them, forgetting themselves as well. After entering this state, whether it was alchemy or smithing, arranging arrays and such, they would receive twice the result with half the effort.

Although they’re all Grade 6 Alchemists, Array Masters, Smiths, and Spirit Beast Tamers, but they had never even felt such an illusory, unreal state before.

None of them thought that Lou Mu Yan’s alchemy realm had already reached such an amazing level.

“What kind of freak is this girl?” The Elder of the Smithing Pavilion couldn’t resist saying, “Not only does she have a stronger Spirit Flame than Wei Yu and Bai Fei Yao, but her realm in refining pills is also so Heaven-defying. She should also be a Grade 6 Alchemist right.”

“She’s not only a Grade 6 Alchemist, but it’s also possible she’s an Intermediate-Level Grade 6 Alchemist.” The chief referee looked at Lou Mu Yan with a scorching gaze and said.

“No way?” The Elder of the Array Alliance was completely shocked.

The chief referee said solemnly: “She’s using the Nine Forms Ice King Lotus seeds to refine pills, plus the high-level Spiritual Herbs on the table are all ingredients necessary to refine Intermediate-Level Grade 6 pills, so I’m guessing that she’s already an Intermediate-Level Grade 6 Alchemist.”

“Can she refine it though?” The Elder of the Smithing Pavilion asked with seriousness.

If Lou Mu Yan could refine an Intermediate-Level Grade 6 pill, then the value of this girl had to be completely re-evaluated.

“If she continued to develop according to her current state, without any accident, she should be able to refine it.” The chief referee said after pondering a little.

The several referees held their breaths and stared at Lou Mu Yan without distractions.

The viewing seats of the superiors.

The Headmasters of the Six Major Sects all possessed varying expressions, but they were all basically enveloped in shock, and the haze in the eyes of the Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect lingered.

The Headmaster of the Heavenly Secret Palace also felt bitter. Who would’ve thought that this girl, Lou Mu Yan, would have such talent and ability.

Headmaster Feng gripped his robe tightly with his hands, revealing that he was both nervous and excited right now.

Two hours later, the Spiritual Herbs in Lou Mu Yan’s pill cauldron were all refined by her.

The process of refining Grade 6 pill’s Spiritual Herbs were vastly differently to that of refining Grade 5 pills. With only one mistake, the cauldron would explode, so even the more experienced Lou Mu Yan didn’t dare be careless.

After all, her current cultivation base was really a huge hindrance. If she became a Sword Venerable, then it would be much easier for her to refine Grade 6 pills.

When she began to condense the pills, Wei Yu’s Initial-Level Grade 6 pills were also about to exit the cauldron.

He maintained his state very well. From the very beginning of refining pills, he deliberately sealed off his five senses, so he didn’t know anything about Lou Mu Yan and Bai Fei Yao’s pill refining, which was a very large reason for his success.

[WENG!!] Wei Yu’s pill cauldron suddenly made a crisp sound, which was a sign that the Grade 6 pill’s refining was coming to an end.

After a while, two smooth, lustrous pills enveloped in a gentle and sacred-like aura flew out of the cauldron, then was immediately placed into a bottle by Wei Yu.

He sighed with relief and a warm smile like the spring breeze bloomed on his face.

[PU!] Wei Yu’s success in refining the pill obviously made Bai Fei Yao’s emotions, that had originally been stabilised, become chaotic again, and a Spiritual Herb failed to be refined.

She turned her head and saw that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t affected in the slightest, mobilising the pill cauldron and controlling the fire to condense pills with movements like floating clouds and flowing water.

She took in a deep breath, and after she calmed down, she continued to take out a Spiritual Herb for refining.

After another hour, from the distant horizon, dense, dark clouds floated over suddenly.

Just when everyone was surprised, the numerous dark clouds hovered above Lou Mu Yan with lightning and thunder.

“Heavens! Lou Mu Yan actually attracted Pill Thunder, just what kind of pill is she refining?”
