Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

"He is merely 20 years old; it's really unbelievable…" Zhong Ben sighed, hearing the words of the supervisors. "Indeed, he is worthy of being called a monstrous talent."

"Father, do you really believe that his talent is as terrifying as they said?" Zhong Ben's son scoffed on the side, clearly not believing Noah's age at all. "I think it is merely a ploy by the Royal family to make a name for themselves."

Hearing his son's words, Zhong Ben did not say anything to refute and simply shook his head while thinking, 'Others might need to do something like that, but that man…'

A memory of a bloody figure sweeping through the royal court flashed through his mind, causing him to involuntarily shiver.

While the two of them were conversing, they failed to notice Zhong Hua's expression turning complex for a second.

Only the maid standing beside her managed to notice it, but she also did not say anything.

…

"Make any kind of pill from these materials?" Noah muttered while glancing at the materials on the table. There was mostly one set of materials for all the tier 5 herbs on the table.

Each herb or heavenly treasure had different kinds of properties and uses. Each of these materials was placed under a small, hand-sized orb that kept them fresh and prevented their aura from leaking outside.

"Your final score will be calculated based on the effects of the pill and its purity." The old man surnamed Zhang stroked his beard while glancing at the two contenders.

'Even though it's not a difficult task, with just a single batch of ingredients of tier 5, things will be much more difficult for them.'

Even though Tier 5 heaven and earth materials were not that rare for the Feng Empire, they were still very valuable.

They had to carefully take out such materials in a large amount just for the competition.

Zhang Ying hurriedly racked her brains to come up with all the pill recipes she could think of, including any of these materials.

She was confident in the abundance of knowledge of her sect. The Alchemy Pavilion had been gathering all kinds of recipes over the years.

'I got it!' Suddenly, as if thinking of something, her eyes sparkled with a confident glint. She glanced at Noah to see what he was doing.

To her surprise, he was standing in the same spot nonchalantly. From his expression, she couldn't discern whether he had any idea about the pill or not.

'Just keep putting on the fake front. Aren't you flabbergasted seeing these herbs? There is no way you can come up with a better pill than me.' She grinned, thinking Noah did not have a profound background.

According to her, there was no way he would have a good recipe that could match the heritage of her sect.

Just when she was about to move, her eyes suddenly shone with a clever light. She glanced at the herbs and thought, 'You take your time while I take these herbs.'

She hurriedly walked forward and started looking through the batch of herbs sharply.

She wanted to take all the herbs before Noah could think of a recipe, making him lose by default.

Seeing the young woman pick the herbs one by one, Zhang Yi understood what scheme she was thinking of and calmly spoke. "While you can choose any amount of herbs if you don't use all those herbs in your pill recipe, you will be disqualified immediately."

His calm words caused the woman's body to freeze. She glanced at the old man hovering in the air with an air of calmness around him and gritted her teeth in frustration.

'So what if you plan to help him all the way? There is no way he can win against me!' She thought that Zhang Yi was helping Noah blatantly using made-up rules.

Placing the extra herbs she had previously taken back on the table, she snorted and turned around, only to freeze.

Noah was standing behind her, looking at her with amused yet chilling eyes.

"Are you done, young miss? I thought you would not stop before cleaning the whole table." He chuckled lightly as if he had made a small joke. "I was getting restless on my feet thinking how long you might take."

Zhang Ying narrowed her eyes, hearing Noah's words. Even though it felt like he was merely cracking a joke at her actions, she could feel there was a deeper meaning behind his words.

"Do you mean to say that you let me choose the herbs first on purpose?" Zhang Ying spoke lightly, but her tone was chilling, as was the look in her eye.

"Ara, Young Miss is really perceptive. Indeed, it is as you said." Noah raised his head to look down at the woman and added, "I didn't want you to make any excuse when you will lose to me later on."

~Silence~

Zhang Ying clenched her hands into fists, her hair covering her face, making it difficult to discern her expression.

The chilling silence did not last for long before the crowd erupted energetically.

"What arrogant words!!"

"Does he really think he can win against someone from the Alchemy Pavilion?"

Even the other participants looked at Noah with a shocked expression. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

"Even though they are both of the same rank, there is a huge gap of heritage. Young people are too hasty."

"You are talking as if you are an old man."

"But even then, what he said is true. I think the boy clearly has a bone to pick with the Alchemy Pavilion."

"Do you think she will respond to his provocation? It is practically a slap on the face of their sect."

Zhang Ying, hearing those words, raised her head to look Noah in the eyes, her eyes gleaming with intense hatred.

She had never felt this kind of humiliation in her life… No, she felt it once before a couple of months ago, when she was on duty patrolling the mountains.

She encountered a suspicious boat, and when she tried to stop the boat to perform her duty, she was humiliated for the first time.

Noah's words resurfaced those memories and made her even more enraged at him.

'Just you wait. I will show you your place!' Without saying anything, she walked away with a snort.
