"The level of an alchemist depends on who can refine more difficult elixirs. It's useless to refine more trash elixirs. If you want to compete, let's see who can refine more difficult elixirs," Yuchi Huaicai said proudly.
"Agreed." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Alright, Elder Duanmu and I will be the witnesses for this competition."
Shan Yang took out a black cauldron that looked like an alchemy cauldron, but it didn't have a lid. There was only a small hole on it.
"This is an alchemy cauldron. It's used by the Alchemy Guild to measure the difficulty of refining elixirs. You just need to put the elixir into the cauldron to see how difficult it is. Now, Elder Duanmu, please give it a try." Elder Shan Yang looked at Duanmu and said.
Duanmu nodded and took out two elixirs. "One is a True Elemental Elixir with three stars difficulty, and the other is a Star Elixir with four stars difficulty."
Elder Duanmu put the True Elemental Elixir into the cauldron. The next moment, rays of light appeared on the cauldron and formed three halos in the air.
"Three halos means three stars difficulty," Shan Yang said.
Then, Elder Duanmu put the Star Elixir with two lines, which showed four halos.
"The alchemy cauldron is correct. You two can choose your elixirs and start refining. Before that, I have to remind both of you to abide by the previous bet. Otherwise, I will enforce it and expel anyone who doesn't abide by it." Elder Duanmu glanced at Zhou Yang and Mo Qianqi.
"Rest assured, Elder. The money is here. He can take it if he wins." Mo Qianqi was confident in Yuchi Huaicai.
Zhou Yang smiled and returned to the alchemy cauldron. At the same time, Yuchi Huaicai took out his alchemy cauldron.
The Sword Pool fell silent once again. Everyone's gazes landed on the two of them as they whispered to each other.
"He reminds me of someone. Unfortunately, he's not here. It would be more interesting if he was here." Jin Bubai smiled.
"Cousin, I'm confused. Who is the person you're talking about?" Xia Bingxin asked.
Jin Bubai was startled. Memories appeared in his eyes. "He … He is a person you will never be able to see through. Wherever he is, there will be all kinds of miracles. Father once said that he has surpassed the limits of a genius."
"Beyond the scope of a genius? What is that? A monster?" Xia Bingxin was shocked. Who was Invincible Jin's father? He was the direct descendant of the Golden Blade King, and he was also a Gold Star Realm warrior. Someone like that had a vision that the so-called genius disciples could not compare to.
"It doesn't matter. He's not here anymore. Maybe even the heavens are jealous of his talent." Invincible Jin sighed. He was originally excited, but now he was bored.
Xia Bingxin didn't ask anymore. She always felt that her cousin was exaggerating. She thought that her cousin might not be like this after he met the real geniuses of the five peaks.
"Quick, look! Liu Xing is about to refine the pill. I wonder what pill he is refining," Mu Xinya said anxiously.
"I think that Yuchi Huaicai is concocting a Star Pill. The lowest difficulty level for a Star Pill is Four Stars. Only the best among the Second Tier Alchemists can successfully concoct one. Liu Xing might not be able to win this time." Mu Qingkui sighed. Zhou Yang had shocked her too much. However, in terms of true alchemy, she still felt that Yuchi Huaicai was stronger.
Fortunately, even if Zhou Yang lost this time, he wouldn't suffer any losses, so she wasn't too worried.
"Liu Xing, there is one thing I admire about you, and that is your confidence. Unfortunately, your confidence comes from your ignorance."
In the field, Yuchi Huaicai laughed as he continued to concoct.
Zhou Yang only smiled and didn't say anything. He continued to concoct slowly, enjoying the process.
"Of course, I know that you're feeling very relaxed right now, because even if you lose, you won't suffer any losses. This is actually the reason why you're so calm and composed right now. Unfortunately, the battle between us won't end because of your defeat today. Everything you've taken from us will be returned tenfold."
At this point, Yuchi Huaicai finally put in the last pill seal and entered the Yundan Realm.
"You are talking about winning or losing before the results are out. When the results are out, you will feel even more despair." Zhou Yang glanced at Yuchi Huaicai, then closed his eyes and gently stroked the furnace.
"Pretending to be mysterious."
Yuchi Huaicai looked at Zhou Yang disdainfully. In his opinion, Zhou Yang's words and actions were all fake.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yang opened his eyes. Yuchi Huaicai had also finished his Yundan.
"Liu Xing, if you are really confident, why not increase the stakes?" Yuchi Huaicai stood up and smiled.
"How?" Zhou Yang asked.
Yuchi Huaicai thought for a while before saying, "If you lose later, not only will you return the three thousand Peak Grade Star Jades you took earlier, you will also have to cripple your arms like Song Liang. Do you dare?"
The moment he said this, the crowd gasped.
"Liu Xing, don't agree!" Mu Xinya shouted.
Zhou Yang looked at Mu Xinya. After a while, he said, "What if you lose?"
"Don't you want money? If we lose, we will give you even more wealth."
"Say something practical." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Very well, I will give you something practical. If you win, we will give you the management rights of the Spiritual Fields," Yuchi Huaicai said confidently.
The Spiritual Fields were a treasure land of the Dragon's Gate Mound. There were large amounts of Spiritual Materials that were produced twice a year. Just the materials produced each time were worth a hundred thousand Peak Grade Star Jades. However, eighty percent of them had to be handed over to the five peaks. The remaining twenty percent and ten percent belonged to the Alchemy Elder, Shan Yang. The remaining ten percent was given to the disciples of the Alchemy Faction.
This was the privilege of the Alchemy Faction disciples.
However, only the Alchemy Elder had the final say in managing the Spiritual Fields. Yuchi Huaicai could not make the decision.
Zhou Yang could not help but look at Shan Yang. "Does he mean what he says?"
Shan Yang did not answer. Instead, he looked at Yuchi Huaicai. "Are you confident?"
"Don't worry, Elder. I can only say that … the pill is done," Yuchi Huaicai said proudly.
"Good."
Shan Yang rejoiced. He looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Liu Xing, I agree to what Yuchi Huaicai said. If you win, you will manage the Spiritual Fields from now until this day next year."
"Since that is the case, I agree to an additional bet. However, after the Spiritual Fields belong to me, I will only hand over the five peaks' portion. The remaining twenty percent will belong to me," Zhou Yang replied.
"Humph! Do whatever you want. I'm just afraid you will not win." Shan Yang glanced at Zhou Yang before looking at Yuchi Huaicai. "Disciple, start the furnace."
"Yes, Master!"
