The crowd immediately burst into an uproar as they looked at the two Medicinal Pills in Jiang Yun's hand!
Du Guirong was also stunned, his eyes wide open, clearly unable to believe that this Young man, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, had actually succeeded in refining two Mortal Rank Qi Induction Pills!
Although he really wanted to deny the rank of these two Medicinal Pills, if he did so in front of so many people, he would truly lose face as an Alchemist.
Jiang Yun no longer looked at Du Guirong, but turned directly to the middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion, throwing the two Medicinal Pills into his hand and saying, "Consider this my compensation for misdiagnosing you!"
Xia Zhongxing also came to Du Guirong again, smiling and cupping his hands, saying, "Great Master Du, you've conceded, you've conceded. Take care and I won't see you off!"
"Hmph!"
At this point, Du Guirong really had no face to stay here any longer, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Jiang Yun looked at his back and suddenly spoke again, "Great Master Du, I wonder if you're interested in another duel?"
This sentence immediately silenced the previously clamoring crowd!
Another duel!
In the eyes of most people, although Jiang Yun did indeed refine a Qi Induction Pill and won against Du Guirong, it was because Du Guirong let him.
If it were a fair Pill Duel, the gap between Mortal Rank and Human Rank would make the winner and loser obvious.
However, now Jiang Yun actually wanted to challenge Du Guirong to another duel, which shocked people and made them increasingly unable to understand Jiang Yun.
"Could it be that Master Gu is also a Second-Rank Alchemist?"
A faint voice suddenly came from the crowd, but it was immediately rejected by everyone as soon as it appeared.
"The rank of an Alchemist is not self-proclaimed; it needs to be recognized by the Medicine God Sect. One must refine the corresponding Medicinal Pills in front of Medicine God Sect members. Only after success will the Medicine God Sect bestow a Pill Token!"
"Besides, Master Gu is too young, looking only seventeen or eighteen. Although his medical skills are indeed extraordinary, at such an age, even if he is an Alchemist, he would at most be First-Rank."
"Yes, even Xia Zhongxing is still only a First-Rank Alchemist. If the Shop assistant in the store were Second-Rank, wouldn't that be a joke if it got out?"
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Du Guirong, who was just about to leave, suddenly turned around, but he did not look at Jiang Yun, but at Xia Zhongxing.
Obviously, what he cared about was still Xia Zhongxing's Foundation Establishment Pill, so as long as Xia Zhongxing agreed to still use the Foundation Establishment Pill as the stake, he would naturally be very willing to duel Jiang Yun again.
To be honest, Xia Zhongxing was also a little surprised by Jiang Yun's Active provocation, but feeling Du Guirong's gaze at this moment, he pondered for a moment and then nodded, saying, "As long as Great Master Du is willing, I naturally have no objection."
Xia Zhongxing even directly took out a jade bottle and put it into Jiang Yun's hand, saying, "This contains the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Holding the jade bottle in his hand, a warmth surged in Jiang Yun's heart. Xia Zhongxing actually trusted him so much, not hesitating to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill as a stake.
With a slight smile, Jiang Yun returned the jade bottle to Xia Zhongxing, saying, "No need for Shopkeeper Xia's Foundation Establishment Pill. I'll use this as the stake instead."
As he spoke, a golden Talisman appeared in Jiang Yun's hand!
Seeing this Talisman, even Du Guirong's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "Luck Talisman!"
The so-called Luck Talisman, as the name suggests, is capable of increasing Luck. It sounds useless, but in reality, its effect is enormous.
Whether it is Cultivators Cultivating, or Alchemists and Artifact Refining, all require the blessing of Luck. It's a pity that Luck is ethereal and cannot be controlled at all.
However, if one has a Luck Talisman, it is equivalent to possessing some Luck.
When refining Medicinal Pills or Artifact Refining, adding a Luck Talisman can at least increase the success rate by half.
Even when breaking through to a Great Realm, using a Luck Talisman can also increase the chance of successful advancement.
It's just that the Luck Talisman is extremely complex to draw, because it requires drawing the Luck of heaven and earth into a small Talisman paper, which is too difficult, so it is something that can be encountered but not sought after.
Seeing the Luck Talisman, the crowd truly boiled!
Within this small Duoyao Pavilion, the owner had a Fifth-Rank Medicinal Pill, the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Shop assistant actually had a Luck Talisman!
This Luck Talisman was a gift from Lan Huazhao, the Peak Master of Tianfu Peak, to Jiang Yun as a mentorship gift.
At first, Jiang Yun didn't know its value until he came to Nanxing City and saw someone offering a high price to buy this Talisman in a Talisman shop, which made him realize the importance of this Talisman.

"Good!" Du Guirong's eyes revealed undisguised greed, and he said to Jiang Yun, "Young man, this old man admits he was careless just now. Now I will duel you again."
Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "Great Master Du, don't be too happy yet. Another duel is fine, but if Great Master Du loses again, shouldn't you also put something up as a stake?"
Du Guirong sneered, "What do you want me to put up!"
Jiang Yun pointed to the san hua furnace on the ground that hadn't been put away yet and said, "It's that. If you lose, leave this Medicine furnace!"
"You want my san hua furnace!" Du Guirong's face showed a mocking expression, and he laughed heartily, "Good, but this time, this old man won't go easy on you!"
"I wonder what Medicinal Pill Great Master Du wants to refine this time? Of course, the prerequisite is that it can only be a First-Rank Medicinal Pill, and the Materials still need to be provided by Great Master Du."
Jiang Yun's request once again confirmed the crowd's view: even if Jiang Yun was an Alchemist, he was at most First-Rank!
Du Guirong did not speak, but fell into contemplation. Obviously, he had to carefully consider which First-Rank Medicinal Pill he was most skilled at.
A moment later, Du Guirong finally spoke, "This time, we will refine Bigu Pills!"
Bigu Pills!
Hearing the Medicinal Pill Du Guirong finally decided to refine, most people's faces showed a strange expression, because this Bigu Pill was too low-grade.
Jiang Yun said indifferently, "Okay! Great Master Du, please go first!"
In fact, everyone didn't know that even though Bigu Pills were almost worthless, for Du Guirong, they were the Medicinal Pills he refined most often.
Over time, he also developed his own unique experience and mastery in refining Bigu Pills, and the Medicinal Pill efficacy he refined was also extremely strong, even having refined Earth Rank ones in the past.
Therefore, he proposed to refine Bigu Pills.
Since Jiang Yun agreed, Du Guirong was not polite and once again took out two piles of medicinal ingredients, giving one pile to Jiang Yun and keeping one for himself.
The refining process was not complicated; it was still similar to before, and Jiang Yun also noticed that Du Guirong was indeed very skilled at refining Bigu Pills, as there were far fewer flaws.
In just a quarter of an hour, amidst the fragrant aroma of medicine, Du Guirong completed his refining. When the furnace lid was opened and the only Medicinal Pill was taken out, Du Guirong's own palm trembled slightly.
After a long while, he suddenly spread his palm and roared in a nearly hoarse voice, "Earth Rank!"
Earth Rank!
These two words immediately brought a heavy pressure and deep shock to the surrounding crowd!
One must know that among them, few had even seen an Earth Rank Medicinal Pill, let alone witnessed someone refine an Earth Rank Medicinal Pill with their own eyes.
Even Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Great Master Du is indeed brilliant!"
"Enough nonsense, it's your turn! Or, you can just concede!" Holding the Earth Rank Bigu Pill in his hand, Du Guirong regained his arrogant expression, confident of victory.
"I'll try first!"
Jiang Yun also began to get busy, still with somewhat clumsy movements, still using that stone pot as a Medicine furnace, and still completing the refining in the same quarter of an hour.
Taking out two still steaming Bigu Pills from the stone pot, Jiang Yun handed them to Du Guirong, saying a little awkwardly, "Heaven Rank, two!"
