"You're saying that you reserved this medicinal furnace?"
Chu Chen pursed his lips. Tang Rou snorted coldly. "Nonsense."
"I didn't know that the free medicinal furnaces in the Medicine Refinery Hall could be reserved." Chu Chen smiled bitterly. "You said that you reserved this. Is your name written on it? Free medicinal furnaces are first come, first served. I came here first and the herbs are all set up. Yet, you claim that this is your spot. What kind of logic is that? "
"You … Why are you so shameless? I was preparing the furnace here and left for a while. If you don't believe me, you can ask this senior brother next to you!" Tang Rou glared at him angrily. She gritted her teeth and looked at a short senior brother.
The senior brother seemed to be timid and did not dare to get between the two of them. He quickly shook his head. "I didn't see anything. The two of you can settle it yourselves."
"If this senior brother isn't willing to testify for you, then there's nothing I can do. You can wait in line."
Although Chu Chen was not disgusted by Tang Rou, a genius girl who was high above others, it was not a bad thing to have the opportunity to dampen her spirit.
"You …!" Tang Rou's little face flushed red.
"What about me? You're blaming me for being slow. "Chu Chen ignored her and turned around to focus on fiddling with his things.
This scene made Tang Rou even angrier. She had always been extremely resistant to Chu Chen. There was always an indescribable feeling of disgust in her heart.
This time, Chu Chen even 'accidentally' snatched her furnace. She was so angry that she trembled. "Alright, since you said that, let's compete. Whoever wins gets to use this medicinal furnace first. What do you think? Do you dare? "
Chu Chen smiled and turned around. "Alright, but since you said you want to compete, then I'll play with you. Tell me, what do you want to compete in?"
Tang Rou looked around and her eyes lit up when she saw a medicine furnace. She pointed at it and said, "That short Senior Brother seems to be about to succeed. Let's guess what percentage of pills he'll succeed and what percentage of pills he'll fail. Let's see whose eyesight is better. What do you think?"
Chu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth curved upwards. "Sure."
At this moment, the short Senior Brother didn't expect that he would still get involved with this man and woman after dodging left and right. However, he thought to himself, 'I don't even dare to guarantee the success rate of refining pills myself. How dare you use my success rate to gamble?!'
"Then I'll go first." The corner of Tang Rou's mouth twitched as she frowned and looked at it carefully for a while. "The pill Qi in that cauldron is rich, and the medicinal fragrance is pervasive. The success rate of the pill is higher. It was estimated that there was a 70% chance of success. The failure rate was about 30%. "As soon as she finished speaking, a smug expression appeared on Tang Rou's face. She firmly believed that with her peak eyesight as an 'advanced apothecary', she definitely wouldn't be wrong.
The short Senior Brother nodded secretly. It was obvious that he agreed with the young female apothecary's point of view.
"Are you serious? Is that all you've got?" Chu Chen sneered and said leisurely, "The pill that Senior Brother refined is the Golden Mirage Pill, a grade 3 pill. It's a pill that increases one's movement technique and speed. He used a total of 20 sets of medicinal herbs and successfully refined 15 pills. Three pills were wasted while the other two pills were half-cooked due to the uneven heat. They could only release half of the medicinal power of the pills, so they're considered half-finished products. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Rou's lips curled into a mocking smile. "There should be a limit to bragging. You can even boast about the number of finished and wasted pills. Don't you think this method is too childish? Before an apothecary refines a pill, even the apothecary himself wouldn't know the exact number of pills in a cauldron. Do you think you can tell just by looking from so far away? Do you think you're a god? "
Tang Rou's words made the short Senior Brother's heart tremble. He indeed didn't know the situation of the cauldron, but this young man said it so confidently.
"Whether I'm bragging or not, you'll know when you see it later." Chu Chen didn't waste any more time. He turned around and began to fiddle with his medicinal herbs. Tang Rou hesitated for a moment and scoffed softly. "Alright then, I'll make you give up!" As she spoke, she walked towards the cauldron at the side.
Behind her, Chu Chen shook his head and didn't say anything. He concentrated on the first step of cutting the medicinal herbs.
Just as Chu Chen was concentrating on the first step of refining pills, the short Senior Brother's cauldron spewed out three light blue spiritual medicine energies.
"It's ready." Tang Rou realized that she was extremely nervous at this moment. She had never lost to any other disciple when it came to medicinal pills.
On the other hand, Chu Chen was busy with his own matters without looking back. It was as if he had already forgotten about the bet just now.
The short Senior Brother took a deep breath of the earthly fire and sulfur. He suddenly felt that this cauldron of medicinal pills was the most important cauldron of pills in his life.
Originally, he should be the clearest about the quality of the medicinal pills he was refining.
In the end, the man and woman next to him looked as if they knew better than he did. If what they said was true, it would really make him blush with shame. He had been in the Medicine Palace for at least a year. These newcomers were too arrogant.
Buzz!
As the short Senior Brother made a cauldron opening the cauldron, the lid of the cauldron opened with a loud bang. Countless light blue medicinal energies rose into the air. Upon inspection, he realized that 15 Golden Mirage Pills had been successfully refined. Three of them were wasted, and the other two pills were half-cooked due to the uneven heating. They could only display half of the medicinal energy of the completed pills.
The short Senior Brother's mouth fell open. The situation after the cauldron was exactly the same as what the young man, who was busy with his own matters without looking back, had said!
Tang Rou's face turned green, then white, then green again. She didn't expect to lose so thoroughly. Was Chu Chen an alchemy freak?
It was no wonder that her brother had tried so hard to persuade her to marry such a freak.
"You're already so arrogant when you just entered the Medicine Palace. You'll suffer in the future."
The short Senior Brother, who felt that he had been looked down upon by the newcomers, quickly put away the medicinal pills with a red face and turned to leave as if he was fleeing.
At this time, Chu Chen, who had finished cutting the medicinal herbs and was preparing to brew the Medicine Cleansing Soup, finally spoke. "You lost?"
"I lost, but I won't marry …"
Tang Rou, who had bitterly admitted defeat, almost blurted out her family's internal affairs. Fortunately, she stopped herself in time.
Chu Chen, who was brewing the Medicine Cleansing Soup, didn't pay too much attention to her words. It was enough for him to confirm that he had obtained the right to use the cauldron.
The genius girl, Tang Rou, also stood in front of the cauldron left by the short Senior Brother. However, she was still in a daze.
