I Have an Invincible Replicating System

"Ah, I've truly been enlightened once more," Qin Yang said with a sigh. "Shouldn't pills reach supreme quality after refinement? I can't comprehend how you produce high-grade or mid-grade pills. Are you all supposed to be alchemy geniuses? How laughable!"

He shook his head, wearing an expression of genuine bewilderment.

"Heavens! Is Qin Yang some kind of demon?"

"Only producing supreme-grade pills? This must be a fluke, right?"

"And he dares to speak like that? He's humiliating every alchemist present!"

Meng Gaofei shook his head violently, shouting repeatedly, "Impossible! He cheated! He doesn't even know how to refine pills properly. How could he create a second-order supreme-grade Face-Preserving Pill? He must have secretly switched the pill!"

Qin Yang sighed. "The pill might be switched, but what about the pill qi that forms at the moment of completion? Show me your replacement version. Besides, the crowd's eyes are sharp. With so many witnesses, there's no deception possible."

After a pause, he added, "Since you've lost, you should accept the consequences. From now on, stay as far away as possible from any place Lou Mengyu resides!"

Meng Gaofei's face turned ashen, his humiliation overwhelming. This was supposed to be his grand performance, where he'd even exceeded his usual capabilities. But this outcome... He couldn't accept it!

"He actually succeeded..." Lou Mengyu's eyes brimmed with astonishment. A top-grade pill meant everything. While members of small sects might not fully grasp its significance, in major clans or even the Celestial Academy, this would undoubtedly make him the center of attention.

Moreover, it would spark a frenzy among top-tier alchemists vying to take him as their apprentice!

"Wait!" Lou Mengyu's brow furrowed. A top-grade Face-Preserving Pill... was that even possible?

Every pill has its formula. What limits a pill's quality isn't just the alchemist's skill - the formula itself plays a crucial role.

Whether it's a second-order Face-Preserving Pill or a higher-grade version, there's simply no known formula capable of producing a top-grade result!

Lou Mengyu stared blankly at the pill furnace before Qin Yang, momentarily bewildered.

Qin Yang, undeterred, produced the pill and walked up to Lou Mengyu, offering it with a gentle gesture.

"Hm? You... you're giving it to me?" Lou Mengyu asked, surprised.

Qin Yang chuckled, "Of course. Do you think I'd use a Face-Preserving Pill as a man?"

He then began explaining, "This is a top-grade second-order Face-Preserving Pill. The formula has been improved - not only does it preserve youth, but it also has many other benefits."

In the Pill Dispensary, the female disciples' eyes nearly bulged out like rabbits' as they stared at the supreme-grade Face-Preserving Pills, unable to contain their excitement. Their gazes toward Qin Yang sparkled with stars.

If only someone could concoct a supreme-grade Face-Preserving Pill for me...

This was the inner cry of every female disciple present.

"What other functions does it have?" The disciples asked before Lou Mengyu could even open her mouth.

Qin Yang explained, "This second-tier supreme-grade Face-Preserving Pill has superior efficacy compared to ordinary pills. It also replenishes vital energy, nourishes yin essence, and whitens the skin..."

As he listed these benefits, all the female disciples were completely captivated.

Even Lou Mengyu felt her resolve wavering.

"Consume the pill while the medicinal qi still lingers for enhanced effects!" Qin Yang added.

"Ah! I'm going mad!" One disciple burst into tears.

"It's not just any supreme-grade Face-Preserving Pill—it's freshly concocted, with its medicinal qi still intact..." Another disciple wept openly.

"I don't want it!" Lou Mengyu declared firmly. She was about to activate the Ice Heart Art to suppress her instincts when Qin Yang suddenly pressed his body against hers, their forms nearly merging!

"Wind Piercing Finger!" Qin Yang thrust his finger into Lou Mengyu's dantian, sending her true qi into chaos. He carefully controlled his strength, ensuring he didn't injure her.

Lou Mengyu's heart raced with shock. "How... how do you know an advanced martial technique like the Wind Piercing Finger?"

"Advanced martial technique?" Qin Yang blinked in confusion. He had no idea about any such classification. He'd simply pushed his Wind Piercing Finger cultivation to its peak, sensing it might serve as a foundation for some other martial art.

"Since we're both going to die anyway, why keep circulating the Ice Heart Art?" Qin Yang murmured, his breath brushing against her ear. "It's excellent for combat, but constantly using it will turn you into an ice statue."

He leaned closer, his lips brushing her ear. "Don't you want to preserve your youthful beauty and die in style?"

The warm breath against her ear sent shivers through Lou Mengyu's body. A crimson blush spread from her ear down her swan-like neck.

Their intimate closeness left the entire crowd frozen in stunned silence.

"Open your mouth," Qin Yang commanded. "Ah!"

Lou Mengyu opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, Qin Yang had already stuffed the pill in. He simultaneously withdrew his Wind Piercing Finger.

"Quickly circulate your energy to digest the pill's power!" Qin Yang instructed. "This premium Face-Preserving Pill has no side effects. Take one daily from now on..."

Hisss!

The Pill Dispensary echoed with gasps of shock.

Several female disciples fainted on the spot.

Lou Mengyu initially tried to spit out the pill, but upon hearing this, she swallowed it down in a panic.

She gazed earnestly into Qin Yang's eyes. If...

Just as Qin Yang had said - since they were all doomed to die together anyway, what was there to fear? She immediately began circulating her true energy to process the pill's power.

Already breathtakingly beautiful, Lou Mengyu's skin now glowed with an ethereal radiance after consuming the premium Face-Preserving Pill. Her complexion became even more lustrous, smooth, and translucent, making her appear like a celestial maiden.

Qin Yang drew in a deep breath, the intoxicating fragrance of her body reminiscent of immortal essence.

Meng Gaofei finally reached his breaking point. The goddess he'd considered his for the taking was now nestled in Qin Yang's embrace! At least, that's how it appeared to him.

The two were so intimate, whispering to each other the entire time...

More importantly, why could Qin Yang concoct a supreme-grade Face-Preserving Pill? Why?!

The previous bet had long been forgotten. Now, his sole desire was to kill Qin Yang!

If Qin Yang died, everything would return to normal. He would once again be the shining genius of pill refining! Lou Mengyu would still belong to him!

"Qin Yang, die!" Meng Gaofei's hand shot forward like a claw.

In his mind, this strike would snap Qin Yang's neck like a twig!

"Ah! Watch out!" Lou Mengyu saw the attack coming, but Qin Yang had his back turned. Without thinking, she pushed him aside.

Copy technique: Falcon Art. Host's cultivation base upgraded to Qi Gathering Realm, full mastery. Technique 1/10.

Copy martial art: Falcon Claw. Proficiency automatically set to peak mastery. Martial Art 1/10.

"Despicable! You lost the pill refining competition fair and square, yet you lack any honor! Is this truly our esteemed Da-shixiong?"

"Outraged by shame and resorting to a sneak attack? We clearly misjudged him before!"

The Inner Sect disciples glared furiously.

The system alerted Qin Yang. He wanted to counterattack, but Lou Mengyu's push had thrown him off balance. She now stood facing Meng Gaofei head-on.

Qin Yang's heart swelled with relief. Could this mean...

"Wind Piercing Finger!" Lou Mengyu thrust out her finger, simultaneously breaking Meng Gaofei's Hawk Claw technique and sending a searing pain through his palm.

Meng Gaofei's face darkened. "This is a matter of the Thousand Hidden Sect. Keep out of it!"

Lou Mengyu opened her mouth to curse Meng Gaofei's cowardice, then paused. She didn't care about the sect's affairs; her mind churned with confusion. Why had she instinctively saved Qin Yang?

Was it because of the pill he gave me? Or because this whole situation started because of me? Did Qin Yang want to stop Meng Gaofei from harassing me?

Lou Mengyu shook her head, her inner voice declaring: "It's because he can only die by my hand. Yes, that's right!"

"If he's to be killed, I'll do it myself. No one else has the right!" Lou Mengyu's eyes flashed with icy sharpness as she reached her decision.

"Uh..." Qin Yang's face darkened, his lips twitching involuntarily...

"This is indeed an internal matter of our Thousand Hidden Sect," Elder Zhang stepped forward, his aura erupting with force.

Meng Gaofei murmured, "Elder Zhang, detain Lou Mengyu. I'll personally end Qin Yang!"

Elder Zhang shook his head. "He can't die now."

Meng Gaofei froze.

"At least not until he reveals that formula and the refinement method!" Elder Zhang added.

The elder's mind churned with regret. Had he known this brat possessed such skill, he would have memorized those ingredients earlier...

Meng Gaofei roared with laughter. "Exactly! We must proceed thus!"

Qin Yang watched their coordinated performance with amusement. "Have you decided? The Thousand Hidden Sect - what a joke! This place is nothing but a bandit den! So, who's coming first?"
