Even though he experienced two failures, Lin Shaohua still did not look nervous at all.
While waiting for the pill cauldron to cool down, he even lifted his head to glance at Lu Yu. Seeing that Lu Yu was still slowly throwing in the spirit medicines, a hint of a cold smile actually involuntarily surfaced at the corners of his mouth.
"Humph! These two kinds of spirit medicines, I've already refined no less than a thousand times. Even though each time when refining, the first two times would always fail, the third time, I absolutely won't make a mistake again. If he's this slow, even if he refines in the end, he absolutely won't be as fast as me. The grade of the medicinal pill absolutely can't compare to mine either! "
The reason why Lin Shaohua would be so confident was because of this. If he did not have successful experiences, how could he dare to use his own life as a bet and compete with Lu Yu in refining this kind of unpopular medicinal pill?
The refining difficulty of the Cloudcliff Pill and Howling Song Pill were both very high. Looking through the ancient texts, there was also no one who could succeed on the first refinement. On the contrary, if the first two times failed, it would greatly increase the success rate of the third refinement. Not knowing why, this was like a curse, continuing all the way in the history of Alchemy Dao.
According to Lin Shaohua's understanding, the first two attempts at refining were like sacrificial offerings. It could be done casually, using these damaged spirit medicines as sacrificial offerings to increase the success rate of the final refinement!
In Lin Shaohua's eyes, Lu Yu's behavior of wanting to pursue success on the first try was simply not understanding these two kinds of medicinal pills!
Hence, when he saw until here, Lin Shaohua already completely did not treat Lu Yu as an opponent.
Very soon, his pill cauldron already finished cooling down. The third refinement also officially began.
And at this time, everyone could also clearly feel that an obvious change occurred in his attitude. Even though the movements and speed of his hands did not change, his gaze became incomparably focused.
But all of a sudden, the Lu Yu who was standing opposite him refining the medicinal pill actually changed from the previous gentle style. His technique became swift and fierce. After he finished throwing in the spirit medicines, he covered the pill cauldron and pushed forward fiercely with both hands. The flames burning at the bottom of the pill cauldron suddenly increased several times.
The abruptly rising high temperature made the balance inside the pill cauldron immediately break. The entire pill cauldron started to tremble violently!
"Getting anxious?"
Lu Yu's movements naturally immediately attracted Lin Shaohua's attention. However, he didn't show the slightest fear. Instead, he sneered and mocked, "However, even if you're anxious, you're definitely not a match for me!"
After saying that, he once again focused his attention on his cauldron!
…
After an hour, the lid of Lu Yu's cauldron was instantly opened. An extremely rich fragrance was carried through the night breeze to everyone's face, causing everyone to reveal an expression of enjoyment.
"How is this possible?"
The originally confident Lin Shaohua's expression finally changed at this moment, revealing a trace of fear: "To succeed on the first try, this is simply impossible!"
However, regardless of whether he believed it or not, Lu Yu had already stopped moving. Her expression was calm and unperturbed. Although he had yet to take out the pill, this was sufficient proof that he had already succeeded.
"No! I haven't lost yet! "
Lin Shaohua shook his head forcefully and said, "As long as I'm able to refine a higher grade Cloudcliff Pill than him, I'll be able to turn the situation around. At the very least, it'll also be a draw! "
It was just a pity that this kind of fantasy did not persist for long before it was mercilessly shattered by Lu Yu!
That instant when the Cloudcliff Pill in Lu Yu's cauldron was taken out, that dazzling light emitted was just like the bright moon in the sky, intoxicating people!
"The highest grade Cloudcliff Pill!"
Lin Shaohua cried out loudly. All of a sudden, the pill cauldron in front of him gave off a loud bang, emitting a gust of black smoke again!
Failure!
The third failure descended once again when he was cloning!
The failure this time made him finally sigh dejectedly and choose to give up!
The grade of the Cloudcliff Pill that Lu Yu refined already surpassed his imagination. Even if he continued to persevere, whether he could succeed or not, even if he really refined a Cloudcliff Pill of the same grade as Lu Yu in the end, this kind of time gap was also not something that could make up for!
Rather than wasting effort here, might as well give up now and admit his failure.
However, the way he looked at Lu Yu at this time already started to become different.
A person who could refine the Cloudcliff Pill on one try, it was his first time seeing. Furthermore, looking at that calm look on Lu Yu's face, it was as if telling him: Doing this sort of thing was not difficult at all!
"Could it be that I really can't compare to him?"
At this time, thick self-doubt arose in Lin Shaohua's heart!
Clearly, the heavy blow this time already made him somewhat unable to take it anymore.
"Sect Master Lin, time is pressing. Shall we... start the second round?"
At this time, Lu Yu's voice suddenly sounded out beside Lin Shaohua's ear. At this moment, in his heart, Lu Yu's voice had already become a death-hastening talisman!
"Another loss and my life will be gone!"
A thick fear birthed in Lin Shaohua's heart. At the same time, he was also filled with resentment towards Senior Apprentice Brother Fei. "If not for him, how could I possibly accept such a wager?"
If fear and resentment were useful, then Lu Yu would absolutely not be Lin Shaohua's match next.
It was just a pity that at this sort of time, not only would negative emotions not have the slightest effect, it would instead create an extremely serious burden on his heart!
The second round of the competition started just like this. But compared to the first round, Lin Shaohua's condition was evidently much worse.
The Howling Song Pill and the Cloudcliff Pill belonged to the same type of medicinal pill. The refining difficulty was very high. A little bit of carelessness and it was possible to cause a complete failure because of a tiny mistake.
Lin Shaohua who was completely out of form started to make frequent mistakes. Even mistakes that even the lowest level Pill Master would not make, would appear on him.
This would only result in him failing time and time again when he was refining elixirs!
On the contrary, Lu Yu was exactly the same as the first round. Everything was carried out methodically in his hands.
Honestly speaking, if at this time, Lu Yu made a single mistake, Lin Shaohua could possibly recover. It was just a pity that this sort of thing could not be seen on him at all.
Following the elapse of time, Lu Yu's medicinal pill gradually took shape. And although Lin Shaohua had been working hard all along, his progress was far from Lu Yu's.
