"Nothing in particular!"
The Great Order Wisdom King gave Zhu Zhengyan a cold look. "I merely think he doesn't need your lecturing right now!"
"You..." Zhu Zhengyan flew into a rage. "You damned woman, what business is it of yours how I discipline my child?"
"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've broken through another level!"
Zhu Zhengyan's aura surged erratically.
One could say that this action by the Great Order Wisdom King had thoroughly enraged Zhu Zhengyan.
The Great Order Wisdom King could not be bothered with him!
"Besides, you don't even have children. What the hell do you know about raising them?" Zhu Zhengyan remained indignant.
"Well, Brother Zhengyan, don't be angry!" Demon Emperor Vajra stepped in to smooth things over. "The children down there are competing, and alchemy requires a calm state of mind. I don't think it's appropriate to speak to Xuanlun that way either. If you upset him, it won't do his subsequent pill refining any good!"
"Besides, Zhu Zhengyan isn't the only one competing here. There are other prodigies too. Acting like this... will distract them!"
Zhu Zhengyan drew a deep breath and said nothing more.
After all, Demon Emperor Vajra had a point.
But Zhu Zhengyan would not admit his mistake. He merely snorted coldly, fell silent, and continued watching his son.
Although the Great Order Wisdom King had isolated Zhu Xuanlun within a barrier, it was transparent. It blocked only sound, not light.
His every movement could be seen clearly.
Bang... bang, bang, bang...
Bang, bang...
The sounds of exploding furnaces rose one after another.
Many people's second batches exploded too.
As they spoke, the prodigies had already finished refining their second batches of pills.
Some had already begun their third batches.
Others held their breath and calmed themselves, first
