"Do you have the ability to make a scene?" Qin Lang asked calmly.
"When I started making elixirs, you probably weren't even born yet!" Zhang Xianwen said coldly.
"Alchemy doesn't depend on how long one has learned it. I'm afraid it depends on one's talent." Qin Lang retorted, "You came here to make a scene, but you're not afraid of ruining the reputation of the Herbal Sect. You should know that everyone knows that you are a member of the Herbal Sect."
"Since you dare to come here, you naturally have full confidence." Zhang Xianwen said.
"Full confidence? You're really arrogant. "Qin Lang laughed," Even I can only say that I have 90% confidence. "
"It's useless to say more. How do you want to compete?" Zhang Xianwen asked.
"Of course, it's alchemy." Qin Lang said, "Let's make it simple. We'll refine the elixirs that we're best at, and we'll see who's better based on the grade and level. How about that?"
"Fair." Zhang Xianwen said, "But since it's a competition, I have another condition. Do you dare to accept it?"
"Go ahead."
"Whoever loses this competition will not be allowed to make elixirs for the rest of his life!" Zhang Xianwen said.
"That's too much!" Taoist Hai Chan couldn't help but jump out to refute, "Your Herbal Sect has gone too far! Alchemists are precious. Your Herbal Sect refuses to provide elixirs to the people of Jianghu, and now you even refuse to let others make elixirs. It's too much! "
It was no wonder that Taoist Hai Chan was so angry. It was because Qin Lang was now the "cash cow" of the Qingcheng Sect. He couldn't let the people of the Herbal Sect destroy this "cash cow". This time, the people of the Herbal Sect took the initiative to provoke them. If Qin Lang lost, where would the Qingcheng Sect get elixirs in the future?
"Mr. Qin can refuse, but he must admit defeat!" Zhang Xianwen was ready to slap Qin Lang in the face. If he were to admit defeat, Qin Lang would be able to continue refining pills but he would lose his reputation in the Jianghu. From then on, the people of the Jianghu would still believe that the Medicine Sect was the orthodox sect of pill refinement.
"I agree. Why wouldn't I agree to such a good condition?" Qin Lang readily agreed to the condition. Daoist Sea Toad desperately tried to stop him, but it was too late.
As for the other Jianghu people, they were eager to see a fierce battle. Usually, it was difficult to see an alchemist, but today, they could see two alchemists competing. This was a rare opportunity.
Daoist Sea Toad was powerless to stop them and could only watch as Qin Lang and Zhang Xianwen entered the hall together.
The main hall of this Daoist temple was very big. It could easily accommodate hundreds of people. It was already very spacious for the two of them to concoct pills inside. As for the people outside, they were all martial artists. They could easily see everything clearly from a distance of tens of meters.
After entering the main hall, the two of them separated by about 20 meters and took out their respective pill furnaces to make preparations for refining pills.
When they saw Qin Lang take out his pill furnace, many onlookers could not help but sigh. This was because Qin Lang's pill furnace was too shabby and looked like a 'cheap product'. On the other hand, Zhang Xianwen's pill furnace was very shiny and complicated. The two pill furnaces seemed to be on a completely different level.
However, as alchemists, their attention was focused on themselves and the pill furnace. At this time, it was simply asking for trouble or even death to care about how the other party was going to refine pills.
After taking out their pill furnaces, the two of them laid out the pill refining materials one by one.
"Boss, this old guy is going to refine a top-grade pill! It should be the Five Qi Pill. In terms of efficacy, it's not as good as the Soul Essence Pill! " Young Monk Dan Ling looked at the other party's materials and knew that he was going to refine some kind of pill.
"He's a Pill Master from the Medicine Sect after all. It would be strange if he couldn't even refine a top-grade pill," Qin Lang said. However, since the other party was going to refine a top-grade pill, Qin Lang had no choice but to refine a peerless pill. Otherwise, even if he won, he would not have an obvious advantage and would not be able to bring about a shocking effect.
Honestly speaking, it was fortunate that Qin Lang had already mastered the method to refine a peerless pill three days ago. Otherwise, he might not have the confidence to defeat Zhang Xianwen today.
Boom!
Zhang Xianwen had already ignited his true fire and started the pill refining process. This old man was indeed a Pill Master from the Medicine Sect. His movements seemed to have been practiced thousands of times and were as smooth as flowing water. It was obvious that he knew all the pill refining materials like the back of his hand. He did not make any extra movements.
As expected of a Pill Master, he had some skill.
Qin Lang no longer paid attention to his opponent's actions and started to concoct his own pills. He was still concocting Nine Yang Pills. In the past few days, Qin Lang had already concocted a few batches of Earth Nine Yang Pills. Firstly, he wanted to familiarize himself with the process of concocting Peerless Spirit Pills. Secondly, the Nine Yang Pills were very useful. Therefore, concocting a few more batches was beneficial.
Since he was competing with someone, Qin Lang did not dare to be negligent and began to concentrate on refining the pill.
Because he had been refining the Nine Yang Pill for the past few days, Qin Lang's movements were very adept. Although he was not as practiced as Zhang Xianwen, Qin Lang's movements were more casual and natural, with a hint of elegance and casualness.
From an outsider's point of view, it would seem that Zhang Xianwen viewed pill refining as a very, very serious matter while Qin Lang viewed it as a relaxing and leisurely affair.
Faced with the competition between the two Pill Masters, the surrounding spectators gradually entered the zone. As the saying goes, 'the layman watches the show while the expert watches the ropes'. Even though most of the spectators were laymen, there were a few who had come into contact with the art of pill refining. Hence, these people began to comment in hushed tones, "Look, Grandmaster Zhang is indeed a Grandmaster of the Medicine Sect. He is completely focused and meticulous while refining pills. On the other hand, this Mr Qin seems a little too casual. He's still a young man after all, I'm afraid he hasn't reached the required level yet..."
"That's not true! I don't think so. I can see that Mr Qin's true fire is especially pure and he's so calm and composed. It's obvious that he's very confident in refining the pill. This is what it means to hide one's true self! "Someone expressed another opinion.
"No, no! I think Grandmaster Zhang is still better! "
"Don't comment if you don't understand!"
"You're the one who's pretending to understand!"
"I think you're deliberately looking for trouble? Could it be that you want to compete with me as well? "
"I'll take you on anytime! But after the pill refining is over! "
"..."
Following the escalation of the spectators' comments, Qin Lang and Zhang Xianwen's pill refining had entered a critical stage. Both of them were fully focused on preparing to form their Gold Cores.
However, right at this moment, the originally clear and boundless sky began to fill with dark clouds as if the Heavens and Earth had given birth to some sort of special response.
As long as a treasure of the Heavens and Earth was about to be unearthed, there would be this phenomenon of the Heavens and Earth reacting to it. Legend has it that refining a few heaven-defying pills would also produce this phenomenon. However, this only existed in legends because no one could refine a heaven-defying pill now. They did not even have the chance to refine one and they could not even gather the required ingredients.
Hence, the dark clouds were probably just a coincidence.
