Yuan Hao asked with a serious expression, "Yunxiao, have you really made up your mind? When you said that, I really doubt if you really understand the path of alchemy. You have to know that there are specializations in every field. If we split it up, I might not be Zhengzong's match in some areas. "
Although he didn't think highly of Li Yunxiao, Li Yunxiao was someone Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han respected so much. He also didn't want to ruin his relationship with the two rank four arcane refiners because of this, so he reminded him out of goodwill.
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Whether or not he understands, we'll know in a while. Let him set the question, in case he loses unwillingly. Today, I'm going to make him kowtow to me three times willingly. "
What an arrogant tone!
Yuan Hao's pupils constricted, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. He said coldly, "Since that's the case, then Zhengzong, you set the question." After saying that, he silently narrowed his eyes, looking like he was waiting to watch a good show.
Sun Zhengzong swallowed his saliva. Although this made him lose face, winning was more important at the moment, so he said bluntly, "Since that's the case, I won't make it complicated, let's compete in alchemy." A cold look flashed across his eyes, and he sneered, "But, it's refining a rank three pill!"
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned, and all of them looked like they were about to faint!
Li Yunxiao had a rank two arcane refiner badge, at most a rank two arcane refiner, but the competition was actually refining a rank three pill! Was this something a noble arcane refiner could say? Was this even something a human would say?
Everyone's hazy sense of reverence towards the profession of arcane refiners instantly shattered. Weren't arcane refiners all proud and insufferably arrogant fellows? How could he play such a trick? Under the premise that the other party was so gracious and let you set the question, he was actually so cunning!
A trace of anger also appeared on Yuan Hao's face, and he blushed in his place.
Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were even more furious. Zhang Qingfan shouted angrily, "Sun Zhengzong, you're a disgrace to all arcane refiners in the world! If you still have the slightest bit of pride as an arcane refiner, then choose a topic and compete with Grandmaster Yunxiao! "
Sun Zhengzong snorted. He didn't dare to confront Zhang Qingfan, so he sneered at Li Yunxiao and said, "What? Just a moment ago, he had boasted so much, and now he was a mute? Castrated? Haha! If you don't dare, just admit defeat and kneel. "
Li Yunxiao looked at him as if he was an idiot and smiled foolishly. "Are you done? Are you done fantasizing? Then hurry up and start. I don't have time to play around with you. "
"You …!" Sun Zhengzong was so angry that his face turned ashen. His neck turned red as he roared, "You heard me clearly, I'm refining a level three elixir!"
Li Yunxiao was speechless. "You don't have to repeat your shamelessness again. Your moral integrity has already been shattered. Not only me, but everyone heard it. Are there any other rules? Say them all, don't go back on your word. "
Yuan Hao was afraid that Sun Zhengzong would say another embarrassing rule and shame their Fire Crow Empire's Alchemist Guild. He hurriedly said, "There are no other rules, as long as it's a level three elixir. Elixir of the same type will compete in medicinal properties, and elixir of different types will compete in purity. Let's begin, the time limit is two hours! "
A large empty space was quickly opened up on the stage for the two to compete. Fortunately, it was spacious enough. The officials and 800,000 soldiers watched with bated breath.
Qin Yue and Qin Yang had bitter expressions. The battle for the crown prince position had turned into a personal grudge between arcane refiners. Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the crown prince of a small country was nothing compared to a rank 3 arcane refiner.
Qin Yue's hands were sweating. He knew that he had already laid his cards on the table. If he couldn't obtain the position of crown prince today, he would lose completely! As for Li Yunxiao, he had become the most crucial figure in this.
Because Qin Yang's biggest supporter, the rank 4 arcane refiner Zhang Qingfan, was full of respect for Li Yunxiao. As long as Li Yunxiao was willing to speak, even if he couldn't make Zhang Qingfan change his mind, he could at least be slightly neutral. Moreover, there was another rank 4 arcane refiner, Xu Han, who had yet to express his stance. If he could support him, he would have the capital to turn the tables.
Qin Yang also noticed this and stared at Li Yunxiao with a gloomy expression. In his heart, he was looking forward to Sun Zhengzong defeating him and completely erasing this monstrous existence who rose up out of nowhere!
Qin Ruxue looked at Li Yunxiao with a nervous expression, the sweat on her palms even more than Qin Yue's. Ever since Li Yunxiao walked up, her gaze had not left him for a moment. Only now did she realize that he had concealed himself so deeply. It was laughable that she had fought for him everywhere in the academy. So it turned out that he was pretending to be a pig.
Thinking up to here, her nose immediately turned sour, feeling extremely wronged.
"Today, I want to see how a fake arcane refiner like you refine pills!"
Sun Zhengzong walked to the front of the empty space with a cold expression and said to Yuan Hao, "I want to refine the Seven Transformation Bodhi Pill. I need Crimson Cloud Grass, White Sun Stone, Sky Scorpion Sting, Aurora Water, Spiraling Immortal Parrot Leaf and Bodhi Seed. Master Yuan Hao, please prepare three sets of materials for me. "
Yuan Hao's eyes jumped, then he slightly praised, "The Bodhi Pill is the pill that can best display an arcane refiner's strength. Three transformations forming pills, five transformations advancing, seven transformations third. Even if they are all transformations, the gap between them is extremely large."
He casually threw out a pile of materials, exactly three sets of each.
Arcane refiners all had a certain success rate when refining pills. No one could guarantee a 100% success rate. Hence, every refinement would have a few more batches of materials prepared in case of emergencies.
"Yunxiao, what about you?" Yuan Hao curiously asked Li Yunxiao, because he really did not think highly of this youth. At this age, being able to refine a level 1 pill was already a heaven-defying existence.
Li Yunxiao smiled, "I'll do the same as him. It will be easier this way."
Sun Zhengzong was shocked, a trace of anger flashed across his eyes. This was completely looking down on him!
Yuan Hao was also slightly taken aback. He had seen this youth's arrogance before. Seeing that he did not know what was good for him, he did not care. Just as he was about to take out the materials, he heard Li Yunxiao add, "I only need one set of materials, that's enough!"
"What?!"
Yuan Hao was shocked, then he sneered, "As you wish!" He bluntly waved his hand, and a complete set of materials was immediately placed in front of him. He sneered. Even he, a rank 4 existence, did not dare to say a 100% success rate in refining the Bodhi Pill. He wanted to see how this arrogant brat would end up.
Although Sun Zhengzong was angry that the other party used actions to humiliate him, seeing that the other party only wanted one set of materials, he was secretly delighted. He stretched out his right hand, and instantly, a mini green cauldron appeared in his hand. Under the control of his divine sense, it began to gradually expand, finally turning into a large cauldron half the height of a person, and landed on the General Welcoming Platform.
Yuan Hao's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Zhengzong, you really have a lot of treasures."
Cauldrons for refining pills were divided into four colors: purple, green, black, and yellow. Among cauldrons of the same rank, purple cauldrons were the most common, followed by green cauldrons. Sun Zhengzong's cauldron was a rank 3 green cauldron, which was priceless.
"Hehe," Sun Zhengzong grinned, "I paid a great price to obtain this treasure, I can't bear to use it when I refine it normally." He looked coldly at Li Yunxiao, and said proudly, "Brat, you should be content to die under my green cauldron today!"
Li Yunxiao scolded disdainfully, "Tsk! You're crazy! "
Sun Zhengzong was fuming, realizing that he was always asking for a scolding, which made him feel a little cheap. He immediately shut his mouth, thinking to himself, 'I can't fall for this brat's tricks, he must be trying to make me angry on purpose, and thus affect the refining process.' 'Yes, that must be it!' He forced a smile at Li Yunxiao, meaning that he was not angry, and that his plan was useless.
Li Yunxiao looked at that bitter smile, and couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, I called him crazy, and he still laughed, he really is crazy!"
"You …!"
That bitter smile immediately turned into an angry one, humiliated in front of so many people, he was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he said angrily, "Don't try to talk nonsense! If you have the ability, then let's fight! "
He quickly calmed his mind, and wholeheartedly focused on the refining process.
First was the material selection and purification, he quickly went through all the materials, and with a clear understanding of the measurement and quality, he began to calculate in his mind. At the same time, he waved his right hand, and immediately a row of crystal containers appeared in front of him, each of them sparkling, translucent, and glimmering.
Generally, when one reached rank three and above, the purification step could be done at will. But Sun Zhengzong carefully followed every step, these crystal purification containers were used when he was an alchemy apprentice, and he didn't know how many years ago he had last used them.
Today, he took them out again, because he couldn't afford to lose!
"Scarlet Cloud Grass, fifty years old, extract the original liquid."
"White Sun Stone, seventy percent purity, remove the essence with elemental energy."
"Sky Scorpion Thorn, seventy years old …"
"…"
Sun Zhengzong swiftly operated while softly muttering, as if there was no one else around, as he did all of this with familiarity. Everyone watched quietly. It was a feast for the eyes and heart. Usually, these alchemists were all high and mighty existences, and rank three alchemists were at a height that they couldn't even touch. Now that they had a rare opportunity to personally watch the refining process, they all revealed extremely focused gazes.
"Hu! ~"
After going through all the materials, a few of the crystal containers had already extracted the materials that could be refined directly. He suddenly slammed his palm on the pill furnace, and the lid flew off. A ball of green flame flew out from his palm, falling into the pill furnace, and the lid closed with a bang. Immediately, the green cauldron began to buzz, and the green color became even more eye-catching.
"Green Wolf Demonic Fire?" A trace of shock appeared on Yuan Hao's face, and a trace of envy flashed across his eyes, "Zhengzong, your net worth is really high!"
Sun Zhengzong smiled embarrassedly, and said modestly, "Compared to Grandmaster Yuan Hao's Burning Soul Beehive Fire, it's not worth a mention, haha." There was no trace of modesty on his face, and he coldly turned his head to take a look, and was stunned for a moment, almost fainting.
