Lie Sisi is Zhen Ni, the female spy who framed Yue Xiaoqi in her previous life and ended up being blown to pieces by him. After reincarnating and crossing over, she accidentally became the delicate and virtuous eldest granddaughter of the second house of the Lie Family Mansion. Her intelligence and the experience she had as a spy in her former life soon secured her a position in the hearts of the elders of the Lie Family Mansion. During a chance encounter, she met Fa Xiaoyi, who looked identical to Liao whom she had a secret crush on in her past life, and she fell deeply and hopelessly in love with him. From that moment on, "Yue Jinghua" became the thorn in her side, the nail in her eye; she tried every possible method to discredit and eliminate him. She thought that "Yue Jinghua" would be oppressed by her for a lifetime, but who could have predicted that after his return from the Hundred Beast Mountain he would become an entirely different person. "An entirely different person?!" Lie Sisi’s face suddenly changed color. She stiffly raised her head to look at Yue Jinghua, who was engaged in alchemy. In the midst of the Alchemy Fire, that once hideous girl’s eyes were filled with indifference, as if she didn’t care at all about the outcome of the elixir in the furnace. She remained indifferent even during such an important Imperial Alchemist assessment. A shadow flashed through her mind: a face brimming with pride and confidence, a face that was stunningly beautiful, a face that never knew defeat. Yue Xiaoqi, it was Yue Xiaoqi. Lie Sisi’s long nails jabbed into her palm. A pain in her palm registered belatedly. She should have guessed that the only one who could transform overnight from trash to genius was Yue Xiaoqi, like a persistent ghost that refuses to dissipate. "No, I absolutely cannot lose to Yue Xiaoqi again like in my previous life," Lie Sisi’s mind was in turmoil. She looked unconsciously towards Fa Xiaoyi, the cold-hearted man who shared Liao’s appearance. Right now, he was staring intently at Yue Jinghua. From the shocking act of inebriating the ginseng baby with alcohol to the skilled process of extracting Elixir Liquid and controlling the fire, Yue Jinghua unconsciously became a magnet, drawing everyone’s attention, including Fa Xiaoyi’s. "No," Lie Sisi screamed frantically in her heart. She was losing; she couldn’t lose to Yue Xiaoqi again. Lie Sisi formed a Dharma Seal in her hand and began to chant the mantra taught to her by Lie Changshun. "Sisi, remember, the Golden Toad Technique can only be used once a day at most, otherwise the golden toad blood-sucking will easily damage your cultivation," Lie Sisi clearly remembered Lie Changshun’s words, but at this moment, she could no longer afford to worry about that. Right now, she just wanted Yue Jinghua and his Elixir Furnace to be completely destroyed. Yue Jinghua’s brow furrowed imperceptibly. The refinement of the ginseng baby was more difficult than she expected, especially in preserving its medicinal efficacy. She couldn’t directly refine the ginseng baby, but needed to use the Dark Fire from the Elixir Fire Array to slowly process it. This would inevitably consume a great deal of her Dark Power and spiritual power. At the final moment of forming the elixir, Yue Jinghua noticed Lie Sisi’s abnormality. Lie Sisi’s eyes were filled with hatred. Behind her, an ugly golden toad was sticking out its fat, red tongue, coveting her Wood Tripod. "Beast, once wasn’t enough, you want a second round, getting too big for your boots," Yue Jinghua had long anticipated that Lie Sisi would play dirty again. Just as she was about to deploy Divine Stab, an unexpected change occurred. The golden toad didn’t spit out its tongue to suck away the Elixir Energy like it did when setting up Feng Chuo last time. On the contrary, its belly swelled up, and its cheeks puffed out as a mist of mixed air was shot directly towards Yue Jinghua’s Wood Tripod. The nearly completely refined ginseng baby inside the tripod suddenly started to struggle violently. "Thump, thump, thump," the Wood Tripod made a wobbling sound. Inside, the ginseng baby let out a piercing scream, the sound painful to the ears, almost unbearable to sustain. The silent struggle between Yue Jinghua and Lie Sisi was purely on the spiritual level; the onlookers in the hall saw both of them with serious expressions, having reached the final crucial stage of alchemy. Only Fa Xiaoyi kept glancing at the Wood Tripod behind Yue Jinghua. After the ginseng baby’s intoxicated revival, its second awakening made it much more formidable. Its screams penetrated the tripod, causing discomfort to several people on site. "Medicine Master, perhaps we should have His Majesty and Noble Consort withdraw first. I fear this alchemy..." Qin Gang’s eyes were filled with concern, fearing this would go on to harm Fa Xiaoyun’s Dragon Body and the fetus inside Lady Sha. Just as Fa Xiaoyun was about to agree, Lady Sha’s voice suddenly rose sharply, "Hold on, look."
