After concocting the materials for a while, Master Yang couldn't help but raise his head and look at Lin Long. His expression changed immediately because he realized that Lin Long's movements were very skillful, and the speed at which he concocted the materials was obviously much faster than him.
Is this person really more powerful than me? With this thought in mind, Master Yang didn't dare to be distracted anymore. He quickly focused all his attention on concocting the materials.
After mixing the ingredients, he immediately began to refine. Who would have thought that in just a short while, there would be a medicinal fragrance coming from the opposite side.
It can't be, right? This guy refined the elixir so quickly? Master Yang was greatly alarmed.
However, he wasn't at the final moment yet, so how could he give up? He continued to concoct the pill seriously.
However, after a while, Linlong's voice came from the other side. "The pill is done!"
Linlong shook his left hand, and the Green Lotus Elixir flew out of the small cauldron and landed in his hand.
"That's really fast. I'd like to see if there are any problems with it." Kong Yang walked up to Linlong and took the pill.
After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but nod his head, "It's really the Green Lotus Pill, there's no problem at all!"
"It can't be. Is it really the Green Lotus Pill?" Master Yang was naturally shocked.
He wanted to refine more, but Kong Yang said, "Master Yang, don't waste your energy. You've lost this round!"
Hearing Kong Yang's voice, Master Yang stopped with an ugly expression.
Kong Yang threw the Qinglian Elixir that Linlong had refined and said, "Master Yang, take a look yourself. Is there any problem with this Qinglian Elixir?"
After taking the Qinglian Pill, Master Yang naturally focused his attention on the Qinglian Pill.
He really wanted to find flaws on it, but no matter how he looked at it, there was no problem with this Green Lotus Pill. It was a superior Green Lotus Pill.
"I lost," Master Yang said helplessly.
"Then let's start the second round," Kong Yang said.
After pondering for a moment, Master Yang said, "How about we compete in refining the Yuan Gathering Pill this round?"
The Soul Gathering Pill was a type of pill used to condense the Qi within the body. It was used to assist in cultivation.
For many alchemists, it was rather difficult to refine, but because he had refined it frequently in the past, Master Yang was more confident.
It was precisely because of this that he proposed to concoct the Vitality Gathering Pill at this crucial moment.
Master Yang had originally thought that Lin Long would object, but who would have thought that Lin Long would say without hesitation, "I will refine this Essence Condensation Pill."
Seeing how easily Lin Long agreed, Master Yang's heart skipped a beat.
"It seems that this person is really good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so easily." Kong Yang also had the same thought in his mind.
"Alright, let's start now." Master Yang nodded.
"However, I don't have the materials to refine the Soul Gathering Pill," Linlong said.
"I'll get someone to buy it," Kong Yang said immediately.
However, Master Yang waved his hand. "Third Young Master, there's no need. I have extra materials to refine the Essence Gathering Pill on me. Just take them out and give them to this brother."
"That's not good, right?" Zhou Han, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but speak up.
In his opinion, it was better not to use the materials given by others in this kind of competition, because if the other party had bad intentions and gave inferior materials, wouldn't they lose a step first?
However, Linlong said, "Then let's use your materials, Master Yang!"
Seeing that Linlong actually agreed, Master Yang's face immediately showed a trace of joy, but it disappeared in a flash.
The reason why he was happy was entirely because he could give the other party the materials he needed, and he believed that the other party wouldn't be able to tell.
'I'm going to win this round!'
Thinking so, he took out three sets of materials from his Space Ring and asked the person next to him to bring them to Linlong's table.
The three sets of materials he took out were naturally different from the three sets of materials he put on the table before. Although they looked the same on the surface, in fact, the three sets given to Linlong had been placed in a unique environment, and the medicinal properties of the materials had changed. Such a change was bound to affect the refinement process.
Naturally, he didn't know about such a competition. Previously, he only used these three sets of materials for experiments. Originally, he planned to throw them away after he was done, but he still kept them in his Space Ring.
He didn't expect to encounter such a situation, so he naturally took out these three sets of materials.
"Brother Kong Yang, can you check and see if there are any differences between the materials on both sides?" At this time, Zhou Han reminded.
"En." Kong Yang nodded, then walked to Linlong's table and picked up the three sets of materials on it.
After a while, he didn't see anything wrong with them, so he immediately said, "There's no problem with the materials."
As for Linlong, he didn't see anything wrong with them because the color and luster of these three sets of materials were exactly the same as Master Yang's.
'Did Master Yang really give me the materials without any problems?' Such a thought flashed in Linlong's mind.
Although Master Yang's joy disappeared in a flash, Lin Long still saw it clearly. In his opinion, Master Yang must have played some tricks.
'Forget it, let's refine first. If there's really a problem later, I'll be able to see it.' Linlong thought again.
"Okay, you two can start." Afterward, Kong Yang said.
As soon as his voice fell, Linlong and Master Yang naturally began the competition.
After just a while, Linlong found something wrong. Because after the configuration, he directly saw that there was a problem with the materials in his hand.
If this continued, the possibility of failure would increase.
Therefore, he stopped and said. "Master Yang, there's a problem with the materials you gave me!"
Master Yang was shocked. He didn't expect Linlong to see through it so quickly. However, he pretended to be calm and said. "How can there be a problem? Didn't Third Young Master look at it just now? Moreover, you also looked at it. If there's a problem, wouldn't you say it? "
"There's indeed no problem with it just now," Kong Yang couldn't help but say.
"Brother, don't tell me you're saying that because you're not confident?" Master Yang sneered.
"How about this? If there's no problem with the materials, I'll admit defeat. There's no need to compete anymore. How about it?" Linlong said.
"Okay, then look at these materials. If there's really no problem with them, you will lose to Master Yang!" Kong Yang immediately said after hearing Linlong's words.
"Alright." Master Yang nodded and stopped what he was doing.
Since the other party had already said so, it wouldn't be right for him to insist.
Seeing that Master Yang had stopped, Kong Yang immediately looked at Linlong and said, "Okay, you can tell me what's wrong with these three materials."
"These three sets of ingredients look no different from normal ingredients, but they were previously placed in a scorching environment. Although this kind of environment didn't cause them to lose any moisture, it caused their medicinal properties to change. If you continue to use them to refine the Soul Gathering Pill, even the best alchemist might fail!" Linlong said.
Such words naturally surprised Master Yang because Linlong's words were not far from the truth.
This guy was too amazing. He could actually see through it with just the configuration! Master Yang thought to himself.
However, how could he be willing to be exposed so easily? Hence, he said again, "You're talking nonsense. No matter what kind of medicinal material, if placed in a hot environment, there will be a loss of water, but these three materials have no water loss at all!"
"Yes, if that's the case, how can there be no water loss?" Kong Yang couldn't help but say.
Linlong couldn't help but laugh. "It's very simple. Because these materials were placed in an environment full of water vapor. Although this environment is hot, how can they lose water?"
"That's true." Hearing Linlong's words, Kong Yang suddenly understood.
At first, he only thought of placing them in a furnace, but he didn't expect to place them in hot water vapor.
As for Master Yang, his face twitched because Linlong was completely right.
However, he still argued, "Hehe, who would be so bored as to place these materials in such an environment?"
"I don't know," Linlong said.
"Who doesn't know …" Master Yang sneered and then said, "Since you think so, can you prove that there's something wrong with these materials?"
"It's very simple. Let's exchange the materials. If there's really no problem, I believe Master Yang can refine it." Linlong smiled.
He had a way to verify it, but it was a little troublesome. Hence, he suggested this.
"You're shameless!" Master Yang couldn't help but shout.
He didn't expect Linlong to suggest this method.
Unexpectedly, Kong Yang said, "This is a good method … In that case, the two of you can exchange the materials."
This made Master Yang's face twitch. If they exchanged the materials, he wouldn't be able to refine the Soul Gathering Pill at all.
Hence, he said directly, "Third Young Master, this won't do. If you do this, you have no evidence to doubt me. I won't accept it!"
Unexpectedly, Kong Yang said again, "Master Yang, if you don't accept it, it's equivalent to admitting defeat."
Kong Yang was not a fool. Seeing that Master Yang refused, he definitely knew that something was wrong.
"Alright." Master Yang could only agree.
Immediately, Kong Yang asked someone to exchange the materials between the two of them. Then, the two of them began to mix the materials again.
At this time, Master Yang could only pray that he could seize the opportunity to successfully refine the pill.
After all, using such materials only meant that the success rate was low, but it didn't mean that he would definitely fail.
After a while, the two of them finished mixing the materials one after another. Then, they began to put the materials into the small cauldron to refine the pill.
Unfortunately, not long after, Master Yang's small cauldron emitted a gust of black smoke. It was obvious that he had failed.
On the contrary, there was already a medicinal fragrance coming from Linlong's side.
Master Yang could only pray that Linlong failed. Then, he hurriedly took the last set of materials and mixed them.
However, before he was done, Linlong had already refined the Vitality Gathering Pill.
Although Linlong had successfully refined the pill, Kong Yang still said to Master Yang, "Master Yang, continue!"
Obviously, he wanted to confirm whether there was really a problem with the materials that Master Yang gave Linlong.
Master Yang originally wanted to stop, but he didn't expect Kong Yang to say that. At that moment, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
Soon, he entered the refining stage again. This time, just like before, a gust of black smoke came out of the small cauldron.
"With Master Yang's strength, it's not right to fail twice in a row." Linlong couldn't help but laugh.
"It's just a mistake. What's so strange about it?" Master Yang's expression was ugly.
"Master Yang, I don't care if it's a mistake or not. In any case, you've lost!" Kong Yang said coldly.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Master Yang had tampered with the materials. However, he didn't say anything because Master Yang had taught him before.
"Alright, I've lost. I'll leave the Kong residence." Master Yang could only say that.
After saying that, he walked out with an ugly expression.
Kong Yang then turned his head and said respectfully to Linlong, "Master, you'll be teaching me alchemy from now on."
The strength that Linlong displayed just now had already won Kong Yang's admiration. That was why he was so respectful and not arrogant like before.
Afraid that Linlong would misunderstand, he hurriedly said, "I had another master before, but that master left for something. I couldn't find a better master in such a short time, so I could only make do with Master Yang. That's why I didn't care about Master Yang's departure."
"Yes." Linlong nodded to show that he understood.
"Brother Kong, congratulations on finding a good master." At that moment, Zhou Han said.
"That's all thanks to Brother Zhou." Kong Yang smiled.
Thinking of what Zhou Han had said, he frowned slightly. "However, I'm not confident that I can win the competition and get an invitation."
"Where there's a will, there's a way." Linlong smiled. "Since time is tight, let's start now."
"Yes." Kong Yang nodded and immediately told Linlong about his foundation and the content of the competition.
On the other side, after Master Yang left the Kong residence, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He returned to the Kong residence, but this time, he didn't go to Third Young Master Kong Yang's residence. Instead, he went to look for Second Young Master Kong Li.
Second Young Master Kong Li usually didn't have a good relationship with Kong Yang. This was why Master Yang came to look for him.
"Yes, Master Yang, why are you looking for me?" Seeing that Kong Yang actually came to look for him, Kong Li couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Second Young Master, I've already been driven out of the Kong residence by Third Young Master. That's why I'm here to see Second Young Master," Master Yang said.
"Could it be that Kong Yang found a better alchemist and drove you out?" Kong Li asked curiously.
At this juncture, he couldn't think of any other reason for Kong Yang to drive Master Yang away.
"Second Young Master, you're only half right. Third Young Master did find another alchemist, but that alchemist's strength isn't stronger than mine!" Master Yang gritted his teeth.
"Is that so? Then why did you come to look for me? Do you want to rely on me? "Kong Li asked again.
"I do want to rely on Second Young Master, but I have more important information to report," Master Yang said.
"Oh, what information?" Kong Li's interest was piqued.
"Third Young Master's new master seems to have an unknown origin. I think the Kong residence should thoroughly investigate him!" Master Yang said.
"Huh? Unknown origin? "Kong Li asked again.
