"This is not a fake pill." Chen Qigu's words immediately silenced all the doubtful voices. Everyone looked at Chen Qigu, waiting for him to continue.
After ten breaths, Chen Qigu's gaze moved away from the milky white pill and looked at Chu Mu: "This pill, after appraisal, is a ninth level pill. It should be a healing pill, but I have never seen it before. What is this pill called?"
Chen Qigu's words once again shocked many people.
A pill that even an Alchemy Grandmaster had never seen before, and it was not a fake pill. What was going on?
"Yang Reversion Pill." Chu Mu opened his mouth and said lightly: "For swordsmen of the Qi Hai stage and below, no matter how serious their injuries are, as long as they are not truly dead, after taking this pill, they will be able to maintain their last breath and will not die within two hours."
After Chu Mu's words, the crowd was first stunned, then they gasped.
If what Chu Mu said was true, then the value of this Yang Reversion Pill was extremely high.
It could not heal internal or external injuries, nor could it aid in training, nor could it directly increase one's level of cultivation. But it could allow a severely injured person to maintain their last breath for two hours. Within these two hours, it was enough time to make the appropriate countermeasures and slowly heal. There was a high probability that it could save one's life.
It could be said that this Yang Reversion Pill was a life-saving pill.
Of course, because it was only a ninth level pill, the Yang Reversion Pill also had its limitations. It could only be used for two hours, and it could only be used by swordsmen of the Qi Hai stage and below.
In the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain, swordsmen of the Qi Hai stage made up a large proportion of the population. Therefore, the value of the Yang Reversion Pill was immeasurable.
Chen Qigu could not hide the shock in his heart, completely showing it on his face.
Strictly speaking, a ninth rank pill actually wasn't that high of a rank. It was simply impossible for such a life saving pill to appear. However, right now, Chu Mu was telling him that the milky white pill in his hand was a life saving pill. This toppled his understanding of the world.
Chen Qigu's heart could not help but be suspicious. He felt that Chu Mu was lying.
However, he immediately overturned this idea. Was it really like what Chu Mu had said? Could the authenticity of the elixir be determined after a more in-depth and professional appraisal?
Thinking quickly, Chen Qigu nodded his head and stood up. Looking around, he announced the final winner, "This year's Pill Refining Competition has come to an end. The winner of the finals is …"
Immediately, the people from the Heavenly Dan Building and the Small Dan House became nervous. This was related to their interests and even their fates. They could not remain calm.
The middle-aged alchemist from the Heavenly Pill Building also had an expression on his paralyzed face. He was somewhat confident, but also somewhat nervous.
He represented the Heavenly Pill Building, and he was also one of the few Peak Alchemy Grandmasters in the Heavenly Pill Building. He represented the interests and image of the Heavenly Pill Building, and when he came here, the order given to him by the higher-ups of the Heavenly Pill Building was that he could only win and not lose.
The Desolate Border City was just a low-level city. To be honest, the benefits generated by the Heavenly Pill Building here were insignificant to the entire Heavenly Pill Building. Even if they gave up 50% of the market, it wouldn't have much of an impact. It was mainly a matter of prestige. At least, that was what the people of the Heavenly Pill Building thought.
The final moment had arrived.
Chen Qigu's lips moved, and his voice came out, "The first place is … Chu Mu of the Small Dan House!"
As soon as these words came out, Nalan Fenghua and the others were completely stunned. Their thoughts suddenly stopped, and they couldn't react. Happiness came so suddenly, as if it was expected, but also unexpected.
The man from the Heavenly Pill Building suddenly collapsed on his chair, as if his spine had been pulled out. His whole body was soft and powerless. The middle-aged alchemist's face suddenly changed. He lost his mind and shouted, "This is impossible! I don't accept this! I'm a Peak Alchemy Grandmaster, and he's just a nobody. How could he get first place? Moreover, the so-called Yang Reversion Pill hasn't been confirmed at all, so it can't be counted."
Chen Qigu's face suddenly became cold. He was a fair person, and at the same time, he was also a Grandmaster. He had his own bearing and dignity. If he was being accused of cheating for personal gain, he would feel ashamed and uneasy. However, facts were facts, and he couldn't be questioned. This was authority.
However, the middle-aged alchemist of the Heavenly Pill Building showed signs of losing his mind at this time. He didn't notice Chen Qigu's expression and cold tone at all.
"The first place should belong to me." The middle-aged alchemist continued to shout.
Chen Qigu didn't say anything. He stared coldly at the middle-aged alchemist, and finally, the latter felt a chill. He couldn't help but shiver, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him. He quickly woke up, and his heart was filled with fear. His forehead was oozing with cold sweat.
He actually questioned an Alchemy Grandmaster in front of so many people. Moreover, he was an elder of the Alchemist Alliance. Even if he was at the Peak Alchemy Grandmaster, and was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster, he couldn't be sure that he could become a Grandmaster.
"There should be a lot of people who have the same idea as you." Chen Qigu's gaze swept across the crowd, and he slowly said in an extremely dignified manner, "I still can't determine the specific effects of this Yang Reversion Pill. Whether it is as magical as Chu Mu said, I still need more in-depth appraisal. However, with my knowledge and experience, and my reputation as a guarantee, this is not a fake pill, but a real pill. Moreover, it is a Ninth Grade Pill. As for the reason for getting first place, it is very simple. The quality of this Yang Reversion Pill is at the Peak of Excellent Grade, and half a step away from Flawless Grade.
It is much higher than your Red Marrow Pill. "No one said anything. Chen Qigu used his reputation as a Grandmaster as a guarantee. If anyone questioned him again, they would be making things difficult for him.
"If the Heavenly Pill Building has any doubts, you can report it to the Alchemist Alliance. I will also bring the Yang Reversion Pill back for a deeper appraisal. If I am unjust, the Alchemist Alliance will naturally execute me." Chen Qigu finally said.
At this point, the alchemy competition held by the Heavenly Pill Building came to an end. The first place winner was the alchemist of the Small Pill House, Chu Mu.
As a bet, under Chen Qigu's witness, the Small Pill House obtained 50% of the alchemy market in the Border City. In fact, this was a relatively empty number. How could it be considered 50%? It was difficult to determine. It could only be said that the Small Pill House had become famous in the Border City and had formed a legitimate competition with the Heavenly Pill Building. They had their own alchemy market.
For Nalan Fenghua, this was already enough.
In addition to the bet, there was also the reward for the first place. In fact, it was not much, just three alchemy recipes. One was a Fourth Grade Alchemy Recipe, one was a Fifth Grade Alchemy Recipe, and one was a Sixth Grade Alchemy Recipe.
For Chu Mu and the Small Pill House, this was indeed a good reward. Alchemy recipes were hard to come by.
Compared to the excitement of the Small Pill House, the Heavenly Pill Building's side was completely opposite. They all looked like frosted eggplants, listless and gloomy. Especially the middle-aged alchemist, his eyes were lifeless. He looked like he had no hope in life, so he might as well die.
The competition was over, and those who should leave left. The young alchemist originally planned to cause trouble for Chu Mu, but after being dissuaded, he thought it through and gave up on the idea of causing trouble for Chu Mu. Otherwise, he would find out how terrible the consequences of causing trouble for Chu Mu were.
After the people of the Small Pill House left, the discussion about the alchemy competition in the Border City was very heated. It had become the hottest topic, and the Small Pill House's signboard was even louder. It could be imagined that the business of the Small Pill House would flourish with each passing day.
Winning first place was within Chu Mu's expectations, so he was not too excited.
After returning to the Small Pill House, Chu Mu began to study the three alchemy recipes in his hands.
He started from the lowest fourth-grade alchemy recipe, all the way to the sixth-grade alchemy recipe. Then, he told Nalan Fenghua to purchase the corresponding ingredients, as he was preparing to refine pills.
Nalan Fenghua was grateful to Chu Mu from the bottom of her heart. Without Chu Mu, the Small Pill House would not have been able to survive. She would have to return to her family and accept the arrangements she was unwilling to make.
It had to be said that her kindness was rewarded, even though she did not have such thoughts.
Qin Yang was also very excited. Chu Mu was an alchemy grandmaster, at least, because he had defeated the alchemy grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Building. Moreover, he had refined a kind of pill that even the Alchemist Union's elder, Chen Qigu, did not recognize.
As if he was the one who had won the honor, Qin Yang felt the same way and was extremely excited.
However, Chu Mu was calm and indifferent, as if he was not the one who had won first place, and it had nothing to do with him. This kind of state of mind immediately made Qin Yang admire him. This was a true expert, a true grandmaster's bearing.
…
There were many people in the Heavenly Pill Building, but it was completely silent. Each of them looked gloomy, as if they had lost interest in life.
They had lost, they had actually lost.
One had to know that in order to hold this alchemy competition, the Heavenly Pill Building had made a lot of preparations and paid a lot of price. The price could not be mentioned because it would not affect their foundation, but their reputation had taken a hit.
After the competition, the paralyzed middle-aged alchemist from the Heavenly Pill Building took a short break and left the Border City, returning to the headquarters of the Heavenly Pill Building. He had lost, so naturally, he had to go back to accept the punishment.
"What should we do now?" an elder asked.
"Wait." Yan Lie spat out a word.
In the current situation, there was no other way but to wait. The decision could only be made by the headquarters of the Heavenly Pill Building.
Chu Mu was an expert, a true expert, and could not be easily provoked. At the same time, he had extremely high attainments in alchemy. His origin could not be found, as if he had appeared out of thin air. He was very mysterious, so they had to be vigilant.
Now, there was an elder of the Alchemist Alliance as the referee. If the Heavenly Pill Building went back on their word, Chen Qigu would definitely feel that his authority was being challenged, which was not a good thing for the Heavenly Pill Building.
Yan Lie felt that the best way was to let this matter go, so as to avoid any more trouble. However, he did not know what the headquarters would decide, and it was not something he could interfere with. He could only wait.
While the Heavenly Pill Building was waiting dejectedly, the Small Pill House welcomed an unexpected guest, which made Nalan Fenghua and the others excited.
