A Good Romance

"Is there still a need to compete?" Yin Le said indifferently, but she was incomparably arrogant in her bones.

In the alchemy competition, he invited a low level Earth Grade alchemist, and in the martial arts competition, he even invited the freak Xuanyuan Zi Guang. He himself specialized in formations, and had already become a sixth tier formation master.

No matter what, he should have a complete victory in this competition, adding an incomparably glorious stroke to his resume.

"Why not compete?" Yin Hong crossed her arms, completely showing off her majestic breasts, as if disdaining others for not knowing that her breasts were large. "Who knows, that alchemist of yours might fail miserably in an easy task."

"That's right, pill refinement is a meticulous work, and one careless mistake could result in a complete loss. Clan Brother Le is too complacent," Yin Hao said angrily.

"Then let's compete!"

Under the supervision of the clan's bigwigs, the alchemy competition officially began.

Actually, every clan could send three alchemists onto the stage and choose the one with the best results. Yin Le was full of confidence, and only sent Xuan Ji Yun, while Yin Hong obviously trusted Ling Han even more, and only sent one person.

The other three clans used up all three slots, afraid of making a mistake and adding insurance.

Furnace explosion during pill refinement was an extremely common thing. Even Heaven Grade alchemists like Kang Zi Shi and Nong Bo Xin couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success rate, let alone others.

There was only one chance in the alchemy competition, and if the furnace exploded, it would be over.

First, choose the medicinal ingredients, and determine what kind of medicinal pill to be refined.

This involved a very deep game.

As mentioned earlier, no alchemist dared to pat their chest and say that they would definitely succeed in pill refinement. The difference was that refining low-grade medicinal pills was infinitely close to a hundred percent success rate, and the higher the grade of the medicinal pill, the closer it was to one's alchemy level, so the failure rate would skyrocket.

Normally, when a low-level Earth Grade alchemist refined a low-level Earth Grade medicinal pill, the success rate was only about thirty percent, which was equivalent to refining three furnaces of medicinal pills, and only one furnace could succeed.

Thus, if Xuan Ji Yun chose to refine a low-level Earth Grade medicinal pill and succeeded, then the other alchemists could only admit defeat willingly, but what if he failed? One had to know that the failure rate was as high as sixty percent, and once he failed, then it was nothing.

So, choosing what kind of medicinal pill to refine not only depended on one's own alchemy level, but also how the opponent chose.

For a moment, although the ten alchemists were pacing back and forth in front of the medicine cabinet, and the medicine basket was filled with a lot of materials, whether or not they were refining this kind of medicinal pill, whether or not it was a smokescreen, only they knew in their hearts.

This was a process of a battle of wits and courage.

Only Ling Han didn't care, and he directly chose the materials to be refined.

Unfortunately, there was actually no Heaven Grade material in the medicine cabinet.

True, Heaven Grade materials were too precious, so how could they be taken out? It was common knowledge that there were only three Heaven Grade alchemists in the whole world now, and if the Spirit Treasures Pavilion took out Heaven Grade medicinal ingredients now, other than wasting them, what use would it have?

They were merchants, not idiots!

Forget it, then let's just refine a high level Earth Grade one.

Ling Han casually chose, and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the others. To him, alchemy was just a formality. His goal was the martial arts tournament six days later, the battle with Xuanyuan Zi Guang, and who was the strongest in the younger generation.

He returned to his own position, and immediately opened the furnace to concoct pills.

"Is this guy an idiot, starting to concoct just like that?"

"There are obviously three days, and the first day is definitely a battle of wits and pressure the opponent. It's best if he can make the opponent make a mistake and choose to refine a high level medicinal pill, then the possibility of the furnace exploding would be higher."

"Coming to the north region means he doesn't want to win."

"Last time, he was at the bottom, and this time probably won't be an exception."

"I reckon the first place this time is the south region. A low level Earth Grade alchemist has a huge psychological advantage, and if he chooses to refine a high level Black Grade medicinal pill, not only will the success rate increase greatly, it can also force others to choose to refine high level Black Grade medicinal pills, and the possibility of the opponent's furnace exploding is extremely high."

"Yeah, Xuanyuan Zi Guang has also been roped in by the south region, and in the martial arts tournament, he should be able to secure first place."

"Yin Le's strength in formations is even more impressive, and even if she can't get first place, she'll be able to secure second place. Two first places and one second place, that'll definitely be the champion this time. "

The big shots of the Spirit Treasures Pavilion all spoke one after another, but there were also a few who revealed pensive expressions, such as Yin Xue Yang, who was looking at Ling Han.

Being able to become sworn brothers with a Shattering Void Tier elite, how could he possibly be simple?

"Yi, isn't that brat's technique shocking?" Soon, there were exclamations of surprise. Although the Spirit Treasures Pavilion didn't have their own alchemist, they had always had an extremely good relationship with the Alchemist Society, and could often get alchemists to refine pills. Thus, even if they didn't know how to refine pills themselves, they could still taste some flavor.

Ling Han's technique was definitely shocking!

"Experienced and ruthless!"

"Smooth!"

"Done in one go!"

More and more people arrived, and all revealed shocked expressions. This youngster was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, so how could his technique be so skilled?

"What medicinal pill is he refining?"

"The material seems to be the Five Turns Black Jade Pill!"

"This, this, this, isn't this a high level Earth Grade medicinal pill?"

"What, this guy is crazy, wanting to refine a high level Earth Grade medicinal pill!"

Meanwhile, the corner of Ying Hong's mouth twitched, thinking that this guy was already giving them face by not refining a Heaven Grade medicinal pill. Otherwise, he would've scared them to death!

Ling Han's technique was practiced and smooth, to the point that people couldn't help but feel a sense of beauty, as if it wasn't alchemy, but rather a master performing art.

Too wonderful.

After completing the selection and purification of the ingredients, Ling Han began to refine the pill.

He was now in the Flower Blossom Tier, and refining a high level Earth Grade medicinal pill no longer required the help of the Strange Fire. His own strength was already enough. His figure moved, and he struck palm after palm at the alchemy furnace. Flames rolled, and one after another, seals shone brightly.

This was drawing upon the essence of heaven and earth in the ingredients, perfectly interweaving the medicinal effects.

"Phew, unbelievable. This guy's technique is too experienced. Could it be that there really is hope to form a pill?"

"From the looks of it, everything is going smoothly."

"Hiss, there's going to be another alchemy genius in this world. He's already a high level Earth Grade alchemist in his twenties, so it's extremely possible that he'll advance into the ranks of Heaven Grade in the future."

"Don't you guys forget, this guy's talent in martial arts isn't bad either."

What a freak!

Ling Han was unmoved, and only focused on alchemy. After a little less than half a day, multiple wisps of dense Qi floated above the alchemy furnace, turning into the shapes of mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, which was incredibly wondrous.

"The pill is about to form!" everyone exclaimed.

Xuan Ji Yun and the other alchemists were even more shocked by Ling Han. The difference of one level in alchemy was like the difference of one major tier in martial arts. That was an absolute gap, not to mention that a high level Earth Grade alchemist was almost standing at the peak of alchemy, making them want to prostrate themselves in worship.

Reading on the phone was more refreshing.
