"Me? My disciple will lose? It's not that I'm arrogant, but as long as your disciple can refine 70% to 80% of my disciple's pills, he won't lose! "
"Cut the crap. What's the wager?" Elder Lingxin went straight to the point.
"Alright! If your disciple wins, I'll give you my set of tools for Night Rain to distribute the medicine! "
Elder Lingxin sneered. "Only you would treat that pile of scrap metal as a treasure. It's just a set of tools. You want to compare it with my Azure Demon cauldron? Senior Sister, are you old or have you become muddle-headed? "
"Then what do you want?" Hui Xin's face darkened.
"I don't care about anything else. Your Phoenix Flame Incense from Spiritual Mountain will be the wager. "Elder Lingxin's lips curled up slightly.
Hui Xin's mouth twitched a few times. Obviously, this item was also her favorite. However, she was confident that her disciple would win. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! I'll bet the Phoenix Flame Incense. However, your Azure Demon cauldron is mine! "
"Which one of you will go first?"
After both of them were ready, Senior Sister Qingyue stood in the middle as the temporary referee and asked softly.
"I'll go first. I'll show Senior Brother Chu what the real Medicine Dao is! Today, I'll refine a Void Yuan Pill to broaden your horizons. "
Xuan Yu had a domineering look on his face. Light flashed between his fingers and he took out sets of medicinal ingredients. At this time, Chu Chen discovered that the storage ring on this little guy's hand was actually a 'six foot ring' level storage ring. The internal space was six feet in length, width, and height. It was a level higher than the 'three foot ring' Chu Chen had.
Intermediate Medicine Masters were indeed wealthy. A Six-foot Ring's storage ring was ten times more expensive than a One-foot Ring. In other words, this ring was worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones! Even with the wealth of an intermediate pharmacist, being able to afford such a ring was already shocking enough.
In the next moment, Chu Chen's mouth twitched a few times.
One set, two sets, three sets … 10 sets, 11 sets … 15 sets …
Xuan Yu took out a total of 18 sets of medicinal ingredients before he stopped taking out the medicinal ingredients. Chu Chen was dumbfounded by what he saw.
In order to refine a single pill, he actually took out eighteen sets of medicinal ingredients to prepare. Just how low was this fellow's success rate?
When Senior Sister Qingyue saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She almost laughed out loud.
Having spent so much time with Chu Chen, Qing Yue had almost forgotten that the success rate of ordinary alchemists refining medicinal pills was only between 20% to 30%.
For an ordinary alchemist, being able to refine two or three pills out of ten sets of medicinal herbs was already very good. Even for some high-level pharmacists, it would be considered very good if their success rate could reach 40% or 50%.
In Qing Yue's memory, Chu Chen's success rate for refining Tier 1 Medicinal Pills was one hundred percent.
Level 2 pills also had a success rate of about 90%. If he used his own "little iron lump medicine furnace", he would almost never fail to refine level 2 pills.
The "Void Essence Pill" that Xuan Yu wanted to refine was also a high-level pill that could increase one's mental strength like the "Purple Cloud Golden Pill". However, there was a big difference in their medicinal effects.
The ingredients for the "Void Essence Pill" were easy to obtain, but the success rate was very low. Generally speaking, the success rate was less than 10%.
Being able to refine one pill out of ten sets of medicinal herbs was already considered very good.
Qing Yue also saw that Xuan Yu had reached the level of an Intermediate Medicine Master at such a young age. He probably relied on a large number of medicinal herbs to achieve this.
Usually, alchemists like him were too young and inexperienced. It was inevitable that he would be a little impatient. This way, the success rate of less than 10% would be even lower.
Hence, Qing Yue thought that it was reasonable for Xuan Yu to prepare 18 sets of medicinal herbs in order to refine a single pill.
The refining process of the Void Essence Pill was extremely complicated. There was one main ingredient, six additional ingredients, and eight additional ingredients. In total, it would require 15 types of spirit herbs to refine a single pill. This level of difficulty exceeded any pill that Chu Chen had refined in the past.
In the art of refining pills, the difficulty of refining a pill would increase exponentially with each additional type of spirit herb. With each additional type of spirit herb, the effects of each medicinal herb would become many times more complicated. The control of the fire and medicinal properties would also be many times more demanding. It was a great test of an alchemist's refining skills.
The first set of medicinal herbs, failure. The second set, failure. The third set, failure …
Xuan Yu's expression was very calm. It was as if he was no longer shocked by the failure of refining pills. On the other hand, Chu Chen, who was at the side, felt his heart ache as he watched the medicinal herbs turn into ashes in his hands.
This wastrel … This set of medicinal herbs would cost at least a hundred spirit stones in the market. He was so wasteful. Wasn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?
Even Elder Lingxin frowned slightly as 11 sets of medicinal herbs were destroyed in a row. With her eyesight, she could naturally tell that many of Xuan Yu's failures could have been avoided. To put it bluntly, it was because his foundation was not solid enough. Often, a seemingly small mistake would ruin the entire result of the refinement in the later stages.
Finally, when the thirteenth set of medicinal herbs turned into ashes in a ball of green fire, Xuan Yu's expression changed. There was a slight change in Xuan Yu's expression. His expression became serious. There were not many medicinal herbs left. If all 18 sets of medicinal herbs were not successfully refined, he would be greatly embarrassed.
For the fourteenth set of medicinal herbs, he focused 120% of his attention. After careful consideration, he did not make any mistakes. Furthermore, his qualifications as an intermediate alchemist were not exaggerated. His control of the medicinal properties and the control of the fire had reached an extremely precise level. Finally, a soft, sharp sound was heard. A crimson pill broke out of the furnace and landed on the porcelain plate at the side.
"Void Origin Pill successfully refined. Quality — Good grade."
Xuan Yu, who was slightly nervous previously, had an arrogant expression on his face. He deliberately raised the pitch of the word "Good grade" and even glanced at Chu Chen casually.
Do you think you can compete with me, brat? Learn from me!
A smile appeared on Elder Hui Xin's face. Actually, as long as he could refine a spiritual-type medicinal pill, he would be qualified as an intermediate alchemist.
This time, Xuan Yu did not disappoint her. Although he had failed more than ten times previously, his breakthrough this time gave her a pleasant surprise. A Red God Golden Pill of Good grade was enough to make many experienced intermediate alchemists shrink back!
"Haha, Yu 'er's talent is outstanding. However, he cannot be too complacent. He must have compassion for the weak. Next, Elder Ling Xin, what kind of medicinal pill will your precious disciple refine? "Elder Hui Xin glanced at Elder Ling Xin with a complacent expression.
With an unnatural expression, Elder Ling Xin turned to look at Chu Chen. However, he said plainly, "I will refine a 'Cold Crystal Black Pill'."
Once these words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked!
The Void Origin Pill was a medicinal pill that could increase one's mental strength. Taking it out was enough to make Xuan Yu the limelight.
However, once the 'Cold Crystal Black Pill' was out, the Void Origin Pill lost its luster. What was the 'Cold Crystal Black Pill'? It was the realm pill that every disciple dreamt of obtaining in order to break through to the Spiritual Water Realm.
The realm pill could be said to be the most valuable and difficult pill among all the medicinal pills. A hundred Void Origin Pills could not even be exchanged for one 'Cold Crystal Black Pill'.
Chu Chen did not even need to talk about refining a Good grade 'Cold Crystal Black Pill'. As long as he did not fail, Xuan Yu would lose completely even if he refined a 'Cold Crystal Black Pill'.
