“As a key alchemy disciple trained by the Huangshan Sect, Wen Feiyang is indeed formidable. At such a young age, he has already reached the level of a Third-Rank Middle-Stage Alchemy Master. The Bloody Moon Pill he refined is of top-quality materials, with hardly any faults.”
“This Wen Feiyang is almost certain to win. His alchemy level is already outstanding among many alchemy geniuses in the knockout competition.
Besides a few who are stronger than him, his skill ranks among the best. Moreover, having excelled in the first round by refining the Bloody Moon Pill, it’s almost certain that he’ll prevail against Yang Chen in alchemy.”
Wen Feiyang listened to the whispers with pride on his face. Yet, his anger surged when he saw the girls from Yanhua Pool still cheering. He immediately shouted: “Honorable referees, I have finished refining my elixir.”
The referees nodded and then turned their gaze to Yang Chen.
The competition couldn’t end until Yang Chen finished refining his elixir.
Seeing that Wen Feiyang had finished refining, Yang Chen calmly continued to control the fire under Wen Feiyang’s provocative gaze.
This made Wen Feiyang snicker inwardly and secretly ridicule Yang Chen for appearing profound. He had seen such pretentiousness many times. What was Yang Chen trying to show off?
Soon, Yang Chen’s refining also came to an end. A rich pill fragrance overflowed as he calmly lifted the lid of the pill furnace and took out an elixir.
Upon seeing the elixir, the audience sighed in disappointment.
“It’s an Essence Pill.’
“Yang Chen also refined a healing holy medicine that restores vitality!”
“However, when compared to the Bloody Moon Pill, the Essence Pill is far inferior. The Essence Pill is only a Third-Grade Elementary pill, while the Bloody Moon Pill is a Third-Grade Middle-Stage. Although there is only a difference of one rank, the actual gap between them is enormous. Yang Chen’s martial arts talents are extraordinary, but when it comes to alchemy, he’s still just an amateur.”
“Yeah, it’s too difficult for an amateur to beat someone who’s professionally trained.”
Listening to the crowd’s discussion only fueled Wen Feiyang’s arrogance. He straightforwardly said: “Honorable referees, can you announce the result now? I’m sure you are well aware of the material and quality difference between the
Bloody Moon Pill and the Essence Pill.”
However, the referees didn’t rush to give their verdict. An experienced referee asked: “Yang Chen, is there only one Essence Pill in your pill furnace?”
“Of course not.”
Seeing this number, the referees were astounded, even though they had anticipated it.
“Yang Chen actually refined nine Essence Pills at once!”
The referees were all dumbstruck.
Wen Feiyang was also stunned, his expression becoming extremely unpleasant.
The audience on the viewing platform was similarly shocked.
Nine…
If Essence Pills were compared only in terms of material quality to the Bloody Moon Pill, they would be considered inferior. However, when the difference in quantity is taken into account, the significance completely changes.
One Essence Pill might be inferior to the Bloody Moon Pill, but what about three? Or five?
Yang Chen refined a total of nine Essence Pills.
In fact, Yang Chen had initially aimed to refine eleven Essence Pills.
His alchemy technique leaned towards steadiness, transcending flashy stunts and returning to simplicity. This was why the alchemists of the Wang Family in the Great Wilderness could see the extraordinary nature of his alchemy technique, but these alchemists couldn’t. They thought that alchemy should be showy and ostentatious.However, unknown to others, Yang Chen’s alchemy technique had no problems from the very beginning.
If he followed these steps, Yang Chen could easily refine eleven Essence Pills, reaching the limit of the materials for this furnace.
But he wasn’t in a hurry to produce the results and deliberately waited for Wen Feiyang to finish refining.
After Wen Feiyang finished refining, upon seeing that the opponent had refined only one Bloody Moon Pill, Yang Chen then deliberately made some mistakes in his technique, resulting in only nine Essence Pills.
This couldn’t be helped; at his age, refining eleven Essence Pills in one breath would be too shocking. Until it was absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to expose too much of his alchemy level.
When the referee saw the nine Essence Pills, they exchanged glances, and their decision was basically made.
“Wen Feiyang, if there are no more Bloody Moon Pills in your pill furnace, then we shall announce the results,” the judges said one after another.
Wen Feiyang clenched his teeth in irritation, but indeed, there was only one Bloody Moon Pill in his furnace. Where could a second one come from? This Bloody Moon Pill was not something easily refined on a whim.
Thinking of this, he glared at Yang Chen resentfully.
What on earth was going on?
How could Yang Chen, with his clumsy alchemy technique, refine as many as nine Essence Pills?
Seeing that Wen Feiyang didn’t say anything, the referee calmly announced,
“Yang Chen wins and advances to the next round of the competition. Wen Feiyang is eliminated!”
This left Wen Feiyang looking extremely deflated as he angrily left the ring.
Yang Chen didn’t bother to care about what Wen Feiyang was thinking; with his hands behind his back, he returned to the viewing platform where the Zhou Family was located.
Seeing Yang Chen return, Zhou Haoran laughed heartily, “Congratulations, Yang Chen! Each of these three-grade elixirs can be sold for a good price. Nine in a row, wow!”
“Sell? I didn’t plan to sell,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
“If you don’t sell, young friend Yang Chen, it won’t be of much use to you,” Zhou Haoran said with a longing expression, making his intentions clear.
Obviously, he wanted to buy the nine Essence Pills.
They were very suitable for Origin Martial Realm masters to take, not to mention the Spirit Martial Realm.
Yang Chen listened to Zhou Haoran’s words, hands behind his back, and said indifferently, “Master Zhou, I won’t sell these nine freshly refined Essence Pills, but I’ll give them away. You take these pills!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoran’s eyes widened, and he stammered, “Young friend Yang Chen, this… this isn’t appropriate.”
“What’s inappropriate?” Yang Chen took out the storage bag and handed the nine Essence Pills to Zhou Haoran without any hesitation.
Seeing that Yang Chen had already given the Essence Pills to Zhou Haoran, many forces who had wanted to buy the Essence Pills from Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel frustrated, cursing that Zhou Haoran was taking advantage of his close relationship with Yang Chen.
In fact, Yang Chen had his reasons for giving the Essence Pills to Zhou Haoran.
He needed to repay favors properly.
Zhou Haoran had helped him, and even when he was down and out, Zhou Haoran never looked down on him and even comforted him. This wasn’t something material, but it was worth far more than any tangible thing!
Yang Chen was never stingy with those who helped him!
