In an instant, a rich pill fragrance filled the air, and a star-like pill slowly rose from the light. There were actually two pill inscriptions on it.
Two-patterned Star Pill!
Exclamations came from the crowd.
"Haha …" Shan Yang was overjoyed. He looked at Elder Duanmu and said proudly, "Elder Duanmu, please test it."
Elder Duanmu had a helpless look on his face when he saw Shan Yang's pride. He took the pill and threw the cauldron.
"Buzz …"
Rings of light appeared on the cauldron.
"A total of five rings, five stars difficulty," Elder Duanmu shouted and stood to the side.
At this time, Elder Shan Yang walked to the center and said loudly, "I now announce that my disciple, Yuchi Huaicai, is the winner of this competition. The loser, Liu Xing, will return the top-grade star jade and cripple his own arms. If he does not, Elder Duanmu will do it personally."
Elder Duanmu's face darkened and he could not help but curse in his heart. Shan Yang's move could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. Not only did he cripple Zhou Yang, but he also dealt a blow to himself.
"You want to win our top-grade star jade? Look at where you are." Li Xun and the others revealed looks of delight.
"I see that Elder Duanmu does not want to fight either. Why don't we fight instead? Each of us will take one strike. That will be enough to vent our anger." Zhang Yan smiled.
"That's right. Also, I have to clarify that Liu Xing has been defeated. In that case, the bet between me and his fiancée does not count. Qing Kui belongs to me, Lu Shamiran." Lu Shamiran smiled.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu. When are you going to attend the wedding?"
"Haha … I think we should do it today. No matter what, today is a joyous day."
A moment later, the few of them congratulated each other. Yuchi Huaicai even cupped his hands at Elder Duanmu. "This farce is over. I still have to go into seclusion."
With that, Yuchi Huaicai turned and left.
"I don't think I have turned on the cauldron …"
At this time, Zhou Yang's doubtful voice rang out. The entire place suddenly fell silent, then burst of laughter.
"I said that you are an idiot. You really said something that only an idiot would say. Is it important whether you open the furnace or not? Hurry up and cripple your arms. We don't have time to wait for you to daydream here." Mo Qianqi said disdainfully.
"Liu Xing, as an elder, I order you to quickly hand over the Peak Grade Star Jade and cripple your own arms," Shan Yang said coldly.
"Why? Did you guys win? "Zhou Yang frowned.
"Nonsense, my disciple has already refined a Two Vein Celestial Pill with Five Star Difficulty. Do you think you can refine a Three Vein Celestial Pill? Even a high-level alchemist might not be able to reach that level. Hurry up and do it. "Shan Yang said angrily.
At this time, Yuchi Huaicai also shook his head. He turned around impatiently and said, "Liu Xing, accept your fate. Even if you refined the same Two Vein Celestial Pill as me, according to the refining speed, I will still win. Unless it is a Six Star Difficulty pill … but that kind of pill is not something an intermediate alchemist can achieve."
Everyone nodded. There was indeed nothing wrong with Yuchi Huaicai's words. The difficulty of a Grade 2 pill was generally between three to five stars. An extremely small number of Grade 2 pills with Six Star Difficulty were not something an intermediate alchemist could refine. In fact, even an advanced alchemist could not refine them.
Therefore, both Yuchi Huaicai and Shan Yang were almost certain that Zhou Yang would lose.
"Who told you that intermediate alchemists cannot refine pills? Nothing is impossible in this world. If you are limited by the theories of your predecessors, you will never be able to reach the realm of your predecessors."
After Zhou Yang stood up and said that, he directly patted the cauldron. The next moment, the cauldron lid opened and a pill that emitted a faint light floated in mid-air.
This pill was milky white and looked ordinary. It did not have the brilliance of a Star Pill or the power of a Wind Defying Pill.
"What a joke. Even I have not seen this pill before. You want to compete with a Two Vein Celestial Pill?" Shan Yang revealed a look of disdain.
The rest of the people present also shook their heads. Even Elder Shan Yang had not seen this pill before. It was definitely hopeless.
But there was one exception, and that was Cai Liangchen.
"He … He actually succeeded. Unbelievable, unbelievable …" Cai Liangchen's low sigh caused everyone to be very puzzled. Meanwhile, Elder Duanmu suddenly walked forward and said, "Liu Xing, since you've already refined the medicinal pill, then let me test it."
"Elder Duanmu, please."
Zhou Yang waved his hand and the pill landed in Duanmu's hand.
Duanmu nodded and with the last trace of hope in his heart, he placed the pill into the cauldron.
"Hmph, I dare to bet that it will not exceed Four Stars." Shan Yang glanced at him with disdain.
"Then we shall wait and see."
Zhou Yang smiled and looked at the cauldron. In a moment, a ring of light appeared above the cauldron.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four …"
Everyone looked like they were possessed. Every time a ring of light appeared in the cauldron, there would be a chorus of voices.
When the fifth ring of light rose into the air, the voices finally stopped and were replaced with nervousness …
The cauldron became temporarily quiet. The sword pool also became very quiet. Everyone stared at the cauldron, including Shan Yang and Yuchi Huaicai.
Five rings of light had already exceeded their expectations. If another one appeared … they did not dare to think about it.
After a long time, there was still no reaction from the cauldron. Shan Yang and Yuchi Huaicai heaved a sigh of relief. Even if it was a Five Star difficulty, they would still be the ones to win.
However, just as they thought it was over, Mu Xinya's exclamation made their hearts sink to the bottom.
"The sixth ring of light, the sixth ring of light has appeared."
Mu Xinya was practically jumping as she shouted.
Another ring of light rose from the cauldron. Finally, it stopped at the fifth ring of light and condensed into the sixth ring of light.
Six rings of light, Six Star difficulty. Yuchi Huaicai, defeated!
The entire place was silent until Elder Duanmu's loud laughter broke the silence.
"Congratulations, Liu Xing. You won."
I won!
Yuchi Huaicai took a few steps back in horror. Then, he suddenly froze. He immediately ran to the side of the cauldron, opened it, and took out Zhou Yang's Pill.
"This is impossible. I have never seen such a Pill before. How can it be more difficult than my Two-Mark Star Pill?" Yuchi Huaicai said in disbelief.
"Let me take a look."
Shan Yang snatched the Pill from Yuchi Huaicai's hands. After looking at it carefully for a while, he quietly put it away.
At the same time, Zhou Yang walked to Mo Qianqi's side and carried a box of Peak Grade Star Jades on his shoulder.
Mo Qianqi's expression was extremely unsightly. In this competition, he had lost twelve thousand Peak Grade Star Jades. Furthermore, he had lost the rights to manage the Spiritual Fields for a period of time. This was practically a disaster for the Alchemy Faction.
However, Zhou Yang acted as though nothing had happened. He went to Shan Yang and extended his hand.
