C17 He Suppressed the Medicine Sect's Disciple Sect Master and Rushed over

I never expected this kid to be so formidable; even Elder Wang has never laid eyes on such an item.

Keep in mind, Elder Wang is a seasoned veteran, no stranger to life's tempests and trials.

The shock of those present at Su Ping'an's display was indescribable. Yet, doubts crept in—could this kid be nothing more than a pretender?

"I bet this kid just stumbled upon that pill somewhere and now he's trying to pull one over on Elder Wang."

"This guy seems all show and no substance; he doesn't have any real skills."

"With the Medicine Sect's people here, he won't get away with any trickery!"

Amidst the crowd's buzzing discussions, Su Ping'an's fury was fully ignited by their ignorance.

"You clueless fools have never witnessed such a refined spiritual medicine. To accuse me of deceit? Ridiculous!" Su Ping'an retorted with scorn.

But before the crowd could process his words, Yang Na hurried over to Su Ping'an.

Throwing caution and decorum to the wind, she snatched the pill from Elder Wang and scrutinized it closely.

Suddenly, the unexpected happened—the dark green pill burst forth with a blinding green glow.

The outer green layer cracked and transformed into an even higher-grade green pill, leaving everyone's jaws on the floor.

Su Ping'an, observing the crowd, couldn't help but find the earlier mockery laughable.

"Go on, keep boasting. Haven't you realized this is a green pill? Who else in history has managed to craft such a pill at my age?" Su Ping'an boasted.

The crowd fell silent, simply gawking at the now smug Su Ping'an, too stunned to speak.

Elder Wang quickly approached Yang Na and took the green pill, examining it with great interest.

Finding it beyond his understanding, he turned to Su Ping'an for answers.

"What does this green pill do? I've lived a long life and yet, I've never come across anything like it," Elder Wang inquired, his curiosity piqued.

This was precisely why Elder Wang had earned his position as an elder of the Disciplinary Hall—his integrity and directness, never shying away from speaking his mind.

Seeing Elder Wang humbly seeking knowledge from him, Su Ping'an couldn't resist flaunting a little.

"This pill? It's not overly significant. It merely allows those at the Vast Sea Stage to elevate their cultivation to the Other Shore Stage for as long as an incense stick burns."

It didn't seem to matter much at the moment, but the crowd gathered couldn't wait to shower Su Ping'an with their contempt.

This was partly because the Elite Wound Sect was a major player with a storied past, having been graced with magical treasures by its founding patriarch.

In a lesser sect, such items would be revered as the most sacred of relics.

It appeared that Su Ping'an had a flair for the dramatic, boasting to an almost unbelievable degree.

Yet, he had every right to his swagger; at barely twenty years old, he was already capable of crafting green-grade pills.

Given another decade, it's anyone's guess how formidable he might become.

Meanwhile, Yang Na seemed to have seen a ghost, launching into a frenzied tirade.

"Impossible! There's no way you could concoct such a miraculous pill. You're definitely up to something!"

But the tide was against her. It wasn't just Su Ping'an; even Elder Wang gave her a peculiar look, as if he were observing someone unhinged.

The onlookers from the Elite Wound Sect didn't hold back their scorn.

"Utterly shameless! Clearly outmatched and yet you point fingers at others."

"What a drama queen! Our Brother Su could crush you single-handedly."

"Brother Su was merely going easy on you. Had he not, you'd have been defeated long ago."

The crowd piled on, berating Yang Na as if they could see right through her.

Inwardly, Su Ping'an scorned the sect's followers for their behavior, realizing they would turn on him just as quickly if he were the one to fail.

Elder Wang gestured for silence before announcing the outcome of the match.

"I hereby declare Su Ping'an the victor of this contest. Not only that, but he has also produced a green-grade pill. I must inform the Sect Master immediately."

With that, he hurried off toward the Sect Master's chambers.

As he left, the crowd's gazes upon Yang Na varied from pity to disdain to outright mockery.

Her complete humiliation was written all over her face, leaving her feeling as if she were crawling with insects.

Despite her loss, she recognized that this young man's ability to refine a green pill would undoubtedly be useful in the future. Thus, she shamelessly sidled up to Su Ping'an and began to flirtatiously whine.

"Ugh, Senior Brother Su, why didn't you show off your skills earlier? Now you've gone and made me misunderstand you," she pouted.

To Su Ping'an's dismay, Yang Na's demeanor was so off-putting that he felt nauseated. He pushed her away and scoffed at her behavior.

"They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and you're living proof. Your talent for playing both sides is truly unparalleled," he said with biting sarcasm.

The onlookers viewed Yang Na with contempt, wishing they could take her down with their glares alone.

"Her audacity is astonishing. Who knew she could be so utterly shameless?"

"It's all because of her deceitful ways that we nearly blamed Senior Brother Su."

Amid the crowd's jeering, Yang Na found herself unable to remain there any longer, desperately thinking of a way to flee.

Meanwhile, the Sect Master, having received the news, hastened to the site of the competition, the green pill in his trembling hand.

"You've managed to refine a green pill? You've truly brought honor to our Elite Sect," Ancestor Yang said, his face beaming with pride.

Though Sect Master Yang harbored some aversion toward Su Ping'an, he refrained from showing it openly due to the crowd.

Previously unaware of Su Ping'an's pill-refining talent, he was now eager to see a demonstration, to discern whether it was genuine.

"But what I'm really curious about is your method for refining this green pill. Would you care to demonstrate?"

Prompted by the Sect Master's interest, Su Ping'an promptly displayed the green flame, to the amazement of all who watched.

However, upon seeing the green flame, the Sect Master's expression turned grave.

He never expected that this young man's flame would be the exact replica of his junior brother's!
