"Although this old man isn't even a tenth of my master's level, I'm still the number one alchemist in our Sky Firmament Academy!" The stern old man sneered at Lime. "What kind of alchemy techniques have I not seen before? You're just a little brat, what do you know? "
"You're already old, stubborn and unable to keep up with the times!" "It's true that I'm just a silly little girl. My experience in alchemy is indeed limited, and I'm not as good as you. However, when it comes to alchemy theory and knowledge, you're not as good as me at all!" Qing Ning replied stubbornly.
"Bastard!" Hearing Qing Ning's words, the stern-faced and old-fashioned old man immediately flew into a rage. He immediately berated with a deafening voice.
Elder Ma, Elder Hu and the other elders of the Pill Emperor Hall also joined in, berating Lime for his lack of etiquette and disrespect for his elders.
"If you can win by being loud, then why don't we all compete with our voices?!" As Lime's pill servant, Mu Junsu couldn't stand by and watch any longer. She stepped out and spoke to the elders and disciples of the Pill Emperor Hall.
"If you're not convinced, you can compete with my little master. We'll see who wins and who loses. Right now, all you can do is shout and scold him. To put it bluntly, you're just trying to take advantage of your seniority. How despicable!" Snow Red also stepped out and retorted in a domineering manner.
"A group of old bastards and little bastards. Our grandpa doesn't feel like paying attention to you, but if you're not convinced, then come, our little master will come out and fight. Let's see who will kneel down and call him daddy in the end!" The little bastard jumped out and didn't seem to mind that things were getting out of hand as he hooted.
"Fine, I'll compete with a little brat like you!" The stern old man's chest heaved violently as he shouted. "I'll teach you how to write the words' don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth '."
"Bring it on!" Lime tilted his head and replied.
"I heard that you think your alchemy theories and knowledge are better than this old man's. It's just that you're still lacking in alchemy experience. Fine, today this old man will compete with you in terms of alchemy knowledge!" The stern old man said coldly. "As for the competition method, you should know of the Hundred Questions Method, right?"
The Hundred Questions Method was one of the more popular methods among alchemists. The competition method was very simple. Both parties would prepare a hundred questions and take turns to answer the other party's questions.
The time required to answer, including thinking and answering, must not exceed ten breaths of time. Otherwise, you'll be considered to have lost.
In the end, who could answer more questions?
Of course, there's a chance that the competition would be a draw.
At this time, they could choose to add time according to the situation, and then decide whether to decide the winner or loser.
"I have the Hundred questions method method of the Hundred Questions?" Qing Ning naturally knew about the Hundred Questions Method, so she didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Let '''s of the competition.. . "The stern old man said coldly." Before we begin, you and I have a hundred breaths of time to prepare a hundred questions. Once the time is up, the competition will officially begin! "
"If you lose, you'll have to kowtow to me in front of everyone. If I lose, I'll kowtow to you in front of everyone and admit that I'm not good enough!"
After he finished speaking, the stern old man didn't say anything else. He stood with his hands behind his back and began to prepare his hundred questions.
Lime's eyes were focused. His brain was spinning rapidly as he pondered over his own questions.
At this moment, Xiao Fan, who was sitting there, also looked over with interest!
Lime had been by his side for quite some time. Whenever he had free time, he would often give Lime pointers on alchemy. Originally, he wanted to find some time to test Lime's alchemy knowledge.
But now, it seemed like there was no need for that. This was the perfect opportunity to test Lime.
Everyone in the surroundings stepped back slightly, leaving space for Qing Ning and the stern-looking old man. Then, all of them held their breaths as they watched the match.
"Senior Uncle Lin is Master's number one disciple. Master Lin has basically learned all of Master's skills. Although her current achievements are inferior to Master's, the difference isn't by much!" Among the crowd, a disciple from the Pill Emperor Hall couldn't help but sneer as he watched Lime facing off against the stern old man. His voice was so loud that it traveled into the ears of the crowd. "A mere lass dares to compete with Senior Uncle Lin? She's simply overestimating herself! "
"So what if she's Tang Daoxuan's number one disciple?" Little Bastard immediately retorted. "In front of my Little Mistress, she's destined to be crushed!"
"Not to mention Tang Daoxuan's number one disciple, even if all of you grandsons come together, or even if your Master Tang Daoxuan comes back to life, you still won't be able to defeat my Little Mistress!"
The crowd fell into a momentary silence. Everyone from the Sky Firmament Academy was stunned by the Little Bastard's words. For a moment, no one dared to reprimand him.
Tang Daoxuan was simply too dazzling. He was the most dazzling pearl of the Sky Firmament Academy in the last ten thousand years. Tens of thousands of people revered him, and no one dared to defer to him.
Ever since Tang Daoxuan was alive, even if it had been a thousand years since his death, no one dared to say anything bad about him.
Therefore, when they heard the Little Bastard looking down on Tang Daoxuan, everyone in the Sky Firmament Academy was already used to the respect they had for Tang Daoxuan. No one would have thought that someone would actually dare to say such words in front of everyone.
But this deathly silence was fleeting!
In the next second!
"What did you say?"
"Despicable beast, how dare you insult our Master! You're courting death!"
"Kill him! Whoever dares to insult our Master will be the enemy of the entire Sky Firmament Academy!"
....
All the elders and disciples of the Pill Emperor Hall roared in anger. Even the other Sky Firmament Academy disciples and elders had ugly expressions on their faces as they joined the crowd in condemning the Little Bastard.
"Don't be unconvinced. Let's wait and see the result. If our Little Master loses, I'll cut off his head and give it to you. But if you lose, every single one of you here will kowtow to our Master eighteen times!" The Little Bastard's attitude became increasingly arrogant as he shouted at the Sky Firmament Academy disciples.
"Fine, a word spoken cannot be taken back!" Almost all the disciples and elders of the Sky Firmament Academy were unwilling to be outdone. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they wanted to kill someone.
And at this moment, the hundred breaths time limit was up!
"Don't say that this old man bullied a junior. You go first!" The old man with a stern and old-fashioned face glanced at Lime and said arrogantly.
"Fine!" Lime didn't hold back and directly asked a question.
"Of the Fire Refinement Technique, how do you perfectly combine the eighth and second minor forms of the Ice Refinement Technique with the ninth and twelfth minor forms of the Ice Refinement Technique?" Lime asked.
"Simple!" Hearing this question, the stern and old-fashioned old man's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he didn't hesitate and immediately answered, "Using the twelfth, eighteenth, and twenty-second forms of the Fire Refinement Technique as a foundation, supplemented by the thirty-sixth form of the Qi Refinement Technique, you can achieve a perfect combination of these two incompatible techniques!"
"Please!" Lime opened his mouth and allowed the stern and old-fashioned old man to ask the question!
"The Clear Heart Grass and the Hundred Night Fruit are medicinal herbs that counter each other. During the process of refining the Hundred Green Pill, how do you prevent them from producing even the slightest bit of toxicity?" The stern and old-fashioned old man asked the first question.
"First, convert the furnace's fire into Yin Fire and refine the Clear Heart Grass. Then, use the nineteenth form of the Earth Refinement Technique to convert the Yin Fire into Yang Fire and refine the Hundred Night Fruit. When the Hundred Night Fruit is halfway refined, use the twenty-third form of the Metal Refinement Technique to convert the Yang Fire into Yin Fire. Once the refinement is complete, use the twenty-third form of the Metal Refinement Technique to convert the Yang Fire into Yin Fire and finally complete the refinement. This way, even though the Clear Heart Grass and the Hundred Night Fruit are medicinal herbs that counter each other, they won't produce even the slightest bit of toxicity during the refinement process!" Lime answered quickly.
After answering the question, Lime didn't even pant for a moment and directly asked the second question.
The stern and old-fashioned old man was indeed worthy of being Tang Daoxuan's first disciple. His alchemy skills were not to be underestimated and he answered Lime's questions fluently.
In an instant!
In the square, Qing Ning and the stern and old-fashioned old man asked and answered questions at a rapid pace. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already answered thirty to forty questions from each other without making a single mistake.
However, all the surrounding Sky Firmament Academy disciples and Elders were dumbfounded at this moment as they stared at Lime in horror, their minds completely blank.
The stern and old-fashioned old man was Tang Daoxuan's first disciple and after Tang Daoxuan's death, he had indeed carried Tang Daoxuan's name on his shoulders and was widely regarded as not inferior to his Master, Tang Daoxuan. In the future, it was not impossible for him to reach his Master's height.
Over the years, the stern and old-fashioned old man had challenged many people to a hundred questions competition and there was no lack of top Alchemy Grandmasters in the Eastern Spirit Lower Province.
But in the end, out of a hundred questions, very few people could answer thirty of the stern and old-fashioned old man's questions. Most of the Alchemists couldn't even answer ten questions.
Now, Lime had actually answered thirty to forty questions from the stern and old-fashioned old man and it seemed like the two were still in a stalemate. It was likely that there would still be a few dozen more questions before the victor would be decided.
This was simply unimaginable.
More importantly, how old was Lime? She was just a little girl. On the other hand, the other Alchemy Grandmasters who had lost to the stern and old-fashioned old man were all over a hundred years old. Hundreds of years old?
Even the stern and old-fashioned old man had already lived for five hundred years by relying on various life-prolonging pills and the gifts from Sky Firmament Academy.
A little girl in her teens was temporarily tied with Tang Daoxuan's first disciple who was over five hundred years old?
