"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, have you thought about what pill you want to use for the competition?" The Great Elder asked.
"Replying to the Great Elder, I have already thought about it," Kong Yang and Kong Li said almost in unison.
"Well, then Second Young Master, what pill do you plan to use for the competition?" The Great Elder then looked at Kong Li and said.
"Spirit Tranquil Pill!" Kong Li said.
"Spirit Tranquil Pill?" Hearing Kong Li's words, everyone present exclaimed.
They didn't expect Kong Li to have the ability to refine Spirit Tranquil Pill.
Of course, they all knew that Kong Li's Spirit Tranquil Pill would definitely not be comparable to the Spirit Tranquil Pill sold in Ding Xi City.
The Great Elder also showed a look of surprise. He couldn't help but ask, "Second Young Master, are you sure you want to compete in Spirit Tranquil Pill?"
"Yes," Kong Li nodded.
"Good, then one of the rounds will be refining Spirit Tranquil Pill!" The Great Elder immediately said.
Then he looked at Kong Yang and said, "Third Young Master, what about you? What pill do you plan to use for the competition?"
"Spirit Tranquil Pill," Kong Yang said.
Spirit Tranquil Pill? Everyone exclaimed in surprise again. They couldn't believe their ears.
"Third Young Master actually proposed to compete in Spirit Tranquil Pill, does he think that his speed of refining Spirit Tranquil Pill will be faster than Second Young Master?"
"The Third Young Master is basically admitting defeat!"
"He definitely doesn't know how to refine Spirit Tranquil Pill, and he most likely won't be able to refine Spirit Tranquil Pill faster than his opponent. He will definitely lose!"
Almost no one thought that Kong Yang would have a chance.
"Third Brother, you really know how to joke. Such a serious competition actually proposed to compete in Spirit Tranquil Pill … But I can't blame you, after all, you don't have a pill that can compare to mine, hahaha!" Kong Li couldn't help but laugh proudly.
Hearing Kong Li's words, everyone also understood why Kong Yang proposed to compete in Spirit Tranquil Pill, because Kong Yang didn't have a pill that he was good at, and Kong Li didn't know how to refine it.
The Great Elder also didn't know what to say, so he immediately said, "Very well, then one of the rounds will be refining Spirit Tranquil Pill!"
After a slight pause, he said, "The first round will be the Azure Elixir, the second round will be the Tranquil Spirit Pill, and the third round will be the Return Intent Pill. Second Young Master, Third Young Master, do you have any objections?"
"I have no objections, let's compete like this," Kong Li said.
"Yes, that's the order," Kong Yang agreed.
"Okay, the two Young Masters will compete on the Green Elixir first!" The First Elder immediately said.
The ingredients to refine the Azure Miracle Pill were already placed on their table. Hence, the two of them immediately started to mix the ingredients.
Everyone thought that Kong Yang wouldn't be much weaker than Kong Li in terms of refining the Azure Miracle Pill, but who would have thought that Kong Li was still much stronger than Kong Li, and very quickly refined the Azure Miracle Pill.
Kong Yang had just entered the last step.
"It seems that this round is won by the Second Young Master. The second round will be the Tranquil Pill that the Second Young Master can refine. I'm afraid that the Second Young Master will be able to obtain the final victory without the third round!"
"It seems like the Third Young Master knows this, so he simply suggested a competition to test the Yi Huan Dan."
…
Such a situation caused the crowd to start discussing spiritedly. Obviously, they were all optimistic about the Second Young Master Kong Li.
While everyone was discussing, Kong Yang had reached the most critical moment of refining the Green Miracle Pill.
It was also at this time that Lin Long suddenly coughed twice.
This was the secret signal that Lin Long and Kong Yang had set. Once he heard Lin Long's secret signal, Kong Yang would give up on refining.
Although Kong Yang didn't know why Lin Long did this, he still listened to Lin Long and pretended to make a mistake. Then, the small cauldron in front of him emitted a cloud of black smoke.
Looking at this situation, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. Originally, if Kong Yang successfully refined the Green Miracle Pill, he could compete with Kong Li in terms of medicinal efficacy, but now he directly failed. There was no need to compete at all.
However, there were still two sets of ingredients that had not been refined, so the First Elder and the others didn't announce that Lin Long had lost this round.
"First Elder, I would like to ask to step down from the stage to take a break," Kong Yang said.
"En, sure." The First Elder nodded.
"Third Brother, don't fight like a cornered beast, just admit defeat." Kong Li, who was beside Kong Yang, said proudly.
Kong Yang ignored him and walked back to Lin Long's side.
"Master, what's wrong?" Kong Yang asked as soon as he came back.
Zhou Han and the others also pricked up their ears to hear why Lin Long asked Kong Yang to step down.
"With your current strength, there's no way you can surpass him in terms of refining the Green Miracle Pill," Lin Long said.
"Master, are you saying that you want me to give up just like that?" Kong Yang asked doubtfully.
"Of course not. I asked you to come down because I'm confident that I can help you refine a better Green Miracle Pill!" Lin Long said.
"Refine a better Green Miracle Pill?" Kong Yang was even more confused.
He didn't think that Linlong would be able to give him a super strong ability in such a short period of time and then refine a better Green Miracle Pill.
"Actually, when refining this Green Miracle Pill, as long as you change the order of two of the ingredients, there's a high chance that the Green Miracle Pill's medicinal efficacy will increase. This way, you'll be confident of winning this round," Lin Long said.
"Change the order of the ingredients?" Kong Yang said in surprise.
"That's right. You just need to change the position of the Green Miracle Grass and the Wood Withered Vine, and you'll succeed!" Lin Long said.
In the Chaotic Sky Continent, this kind of pill was also called the Green Miracle Pill. Lin Long had refined it countless times before, so he was very familiar with it.
Because of this familiarity, he knew that changing the order of the two ingredients would make the pill more effective.
However, the Deep Cold World didn't seem to know that such a change could be made.
Lin Long originally didn't want to tell Kong Yang this method, but seeing that Kong Yang would definitely lose to his opponent if he didn't refine it this way, he called Kong Yang down and taught him this method.
At this time, Kong Yang trusted Lin Long very much. However, he was still worried. "Master, won't this change change the refining process? I've never tried this before. Won't it be easy to fail if I suddenly try it?"
"No, even if you change the process like this, there won't be any difference. Don't worry about any accidents," Lin Long said.
Hearing Lin Long's words, Kong Yang immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say, Master."
After saying that, Kong Yang turned around and quickly walked back to his table. Then, he continued to refine the Green Miracle Pill.
This time, he naturally followed Lin Long's instructions and swapped the order of the two materials. What made him happy was that such a swap really did not affect the entire process, just as Lin Long had said. Hence, he quickly reached the final step of the refinement.
After a while, he successfully refined a Green Miracle Pill.
Although he successfully refined it, the expressions on everyone's faces were still the same. They didn't think that he could change anything at all.
"Great Elder, I have refined the Green Miracle Pill. You guys check it." Kong Yang immediately looked at the Great Elder and the other two elders.
The Great Elder and the other two elders immediately walked to his table.
After a series of tests, the three of them revealed a surprised expression because they could see that the Green Miracle Pill refined by Kong Yang seemed to be more effective than ordinary Green Miracle Pills.
How did the Third Young Master do this? The three of them were very puzzled.
Then, they walked in front of the Second Young Master Kong Li and picked up the Green Miracle Pill refined by Kong Li to check.
After a series of tests, the three of them began to discuss.
"It can't be. Isn't the result obvious? The Second Young Master will definitely win. What are the Great Elder and the other two elders discussing?" Everyone was naturally very puzzled.
It was also at this moment that the Great Elder opened his mouth. "This round, the Third Young Master Kong Yang wins!"
"What? How can Kong Yang win? Wasn't he so much later than the Second Young Master? "Many people immediately cried out in surprise.
Kong Li also tightly knitted his brows as he looked at the Great Elder and the other two elders. He didn't know why the three of them would say such words.
He didn't think that Kong Yang could refine a Green Miracle Pill with a stronger effect than his Green Miracle Pill. In his opinion, even a powerful alchemist would at most refine a Green Miracle Pill that was only slightly stronger than his. Obviously, Kong Yang wasn't such a person.
In the next moment, he coldly said, "Great Elder, why do you say such words?"
"Because the Green Miracle Pill refined by the Third Young Master is much more effective than your Green Miracle Pill!" The Great Elder said.
"How is that possible?" Hearing the Great Elder's words, everyone present cried out in surprise, including the Patriarch of the Kong Family.
"Great Elder, even if it's an alchemist a hundred times better than me, the Green Miracle Pill refined by him would at most be a little stronger than my Green Miracle Pill. How can the Green Miracle Pill refined by Third Brother be so much stronger than mine?" Kong Li sneered again.
"Third Young Master, this is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can come over and take a look!" The Great Elder said.
"Alright!"
As he spoke, Kong Li immediately walked towards the Great Elder, Lin Long and the others. Very quickly, he arrived beside the Great Elder.
The Great Elder immediately handed Lin Long's Green Miracle Pill over.
After a careful examination, Kong Li's face turned ugly because he could tell that the Green Miracle Pill refined by Kong Yang was much better than his.
"Second Young Master, how is it?" The Great Elder asked.
"That's right, the Green Miracle Pill refined by Third Brother is much stronger than mine." Kong Li said with a frown.
"It can't be!" Such words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.
"Anyone who doesn't believe me can come over and take a look." The Great Elder looked at the crowd and said.
"Let me try?" Someone immediately said. It was a young man in his twenties.
"Alright, Kong Fan, come over and take a look!" The Great Elder nodded.
The young man called Kong Fan immediately came in front of him, and the Great Elder handed the Green Miracle Pill refined by Lin Long to him.
After a careful examination and comparing it with Kong Li's Green Miracle Pill, the young man couldn't help but say, "That's right, the Green Miracle Pill refined by Third Young Master is much better!"
It's actually better than the Second Young Master's! Naturally, everyone present was shocked.
The Great Elder immediately said, "Although Third Young Master's speed is much slower than Second Young Master's, the Green Miracle Pill refined by him is much better than Second Young Master's. Therefore, Third Young Master wins this round!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Kong Family Head said, "Great Elder, show me that pill!"
The Great Elder quickly took it and looked at it carefully. The Kong Family Head's face also revealed a surprised expression. He immediately looked at Kong Yang, wondering how he could refine such an elixir.
In the next moment, he directly asked the question in his heart, "Yang 'er, how did you refine the Green Miracle Pill with such medicinal effects?"
"Father, the reason why I can refine such an effect is because I changed the order of two of the ingredients," Kong Yang said.
"Impossible? This order has been verified by countless alchemists. How could you change it just like that? "Kong Li, who was beside Kong Yang, couldn't help but say.
"If it wasn't like that, how could Third Brother refine a Green Miracle Pill that's better than your Green Miracle Pill?" Kong Yang said.
Such a sentence made Kong Li speechless.
At this moment, the Kong Family Head asked, "Yang 'er, which two ingredients did you change?"
"I just changed the order of the Green Miracle Grass and Wood Withered Vine," Kong Yang said.
"Then Great Elder, try according to Yang 'er's instructions … Yang' er, Li 'er, the two of you take this time to rest and prepare for the next round of the competition," the Kong Family Head said again.
Due to curiosity, he directly delayed the competition between the two of them.
"Yes!" The Great Elder immediately replied.
Then, he took out his own tools and began experimenting on Kong Yang's table.
He naturally changed the order of the Green Miracle Grass and Wood Withered Vine according to Kong Yang's instructions. He originally thought that such a change would inevitably cause him to be unfamiliar with the process, but he didn't expect it to be as smooth as before.
Seeing such a situation, everyone was extremely surprised.
Not long after, the Great Elder successfully refined a Green Miracle Pill. Once it was refined, the other two elders immediately came over.
After the three of them verified it, their faces revealed a surprised expression because it really was a better Green Miracle Pill.
Then, the Great Elder hurriedly took it to the Kong Family Head for a look.
After looking at it, the Kong Family Head couldn't help but nod his head, then looked at Kong Yang and said, "Yang 'er, how did you discover this?"
He thought that Kong Yang suddenly discovered it when he was refining, but he didn't expect it to be taught by Lin Long.
Kong Yang immediately replied, "Replying to father, I tried it when I was bored, and I actually succeeded. After that, it was even more surprising, that is, the Green Miracle Pill that was refined is obviously better than the previous one!"
"Not bad, not bad. Alchemy requires continuous experimentation to become stronger. In the future, you must continue to develop it!" The Kong Family Head nodded his head in approval.
"Thank you, father," Kong Yang hurriedly said.
Kong Yang, you're too lucky. So many alchemists have been here for so many years, but none of them noticed this point. Instead, you noticed it! Kong Li cursed in his heart.
"Alright, let's continue with the next round of the competition." Then, the Kong Family Head said.
The Great Elder said, "The next round of the competition is the Spirit Calming Pill. Two young masters, after you are ready, you can start the competition."
After the two of them were ready, he shouted, "Now, let the second round of the competition begin!"
As soon as his voice fell, Kong Yang and Kong Li both began to refine the Spirit Calming Pill.
