Ye Chen looked at Guo Hong and Zhou Xinghe who were refining pills after hearing what Elder Ge said. He chuckled softly and said, "Should I call them seniors?"
After Mad Southern Ye stepped into the cultivation world, his aptitude was initially mediocre. However, he still managed to cultivate all the way from the cruel cultivation world to the immortal world. He even became an immortal and founded a great immortal kingdom.
This was all because of his alchemy skills. In just 3,000 years, he had refined countless medicinal pills with the help of the Immortal Drift Bottle. No one knew how high his attainments in alchemy were.
Now, Elder Ge actually said that Guo Hong and Zhou Xinghe, the two so-called masters and geniuses, were actually his seniors. It was a little ridiculous.
Seeing that he was actually laughing, Elder Ge scoffed, "I meant well. It's fine if you don't believe me!"
"They're starting to refine the medicinal herbs!"
At that moment, someone reminded softly.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Guo Hong pinched a seal, and eight Dharma Arrays immediately condensed in the void.
Eight beams of flames of different temperatures surged out of the eight formations and poured into the eight apertures of the pill furnace.
There were three grade-7 medicinal herbs in front of him.
"As expected of Master Guo. He's able to form formations out of thin air so easily and skillfully! “
Someone could not help but exclaim.
The purple-clothed girl clenched her fists tightly as she watched the scene nervously. She secretly cheered for her grandfather.
Subsequently, Guo Hong controlled the eight flames with one hand to prevent them from being extinguished. He used his other hand to throw all the medicinal herbs that had been categorized into the pill furnace and focused on extracting the medicinal herbs.
The process of alchemy was generally fire control, extraction, smelting, pill condensation, pill cultivation …
Controlling the fire was especially important because different medicinal herbs required different temperatures.
Some medicinal herbs would lose their medicinal properties if their temperature was too high, while some medicinal pills would consume a lot of energy if their temperature was too low.
Extraction was to refine the required medicinal properties one by one from the medicinal herbs.
Then, it would turn into medicinal liquid and be refined into powder by the alchemy fire. Then, it would turn into a pill using a fixed method. The last step was to refine the pill.
Every step was extremely strict. It required precise calculations and multitasking. Any mistake would result in failure on the verge of success.
"It's just a small trick!"
Zhou Xinghe sneered upon seeing this, before forming a finger seal. Thirteen formations immediately appeared in the air, before thirteen flames gushed into the cauldron.
"Thirteen arrays?!!"
"Young Lord Zhou can actually form 13 Dharma Arrays at once? He actually has five more than Master Guo … "
"Rumor has it that the leader of the Alchemy Guild, Patriarch Danhe, created a technique to control fire, which also consists of thirteen arrays. Could it be that Young Master Zhou received all of Patriarch Danhe's teachings?"
Many people secretly gasped at the sight of this. Clearly, they were stunned by Zhou Xinghe's control over fire.
Even Elder Ge's eyes flickered with envy, "It's the Ancestor's Imperial Spirit Technique, the Ancestor used this technique to become an Alchemy Grandmaster …"
Following that, the crowd held their breaths as they stared fixedly at the process of Guo Hong and Zhou Xinghe refining the pills, not daring to make the slightest noise.
On the other hand, Ye Chen was disinterested. He secretly shook his head from time to time, "This Guo Hong actually used the stupidest method of smelting the medicinal liquid with pure fire. Little did he know that this would cause a lot of medicinal properties to be lost …
"And this Zhou Xinghe, he clearly has 13 Dharma Arrays, but he reversed the order and separated five of them. It's no different from taking off his pants to fart!"
"…"
The purple-clothed girl could not help but whisper when she saw him shaking his head, "Little brother, it's okay if you don't understand. At most, I'll get grandpa to guide you after this."
Ye Chen smiled. He thought to himself that this little girl was quite kind, so he reminded her kindly, "Your grandpa is going to lose."
The purple-clothed girl was stunned when she heard that, "W-Why?"
Although Ye Chen's voice was neither loud nor soft, the people around him still heard it. At that moment, many people glared at him.
A grade-5 Alchemist present sneered, "A brat who just obtained a grade-1 Alchemist certificate dares to boast shamelessly?"
"Bad guy, I'm ignoring you!"
The purple-clothed girl turned her head away angrily.
Ye Chen smiled and did not explain.
As time passed, two hours later, a lot of mist suddenly surged out of Zhou Xinghe's cauldron. As the mist dispersed, a rich medicinal fragrance spread.
"Young Master Zhou has completed the pill!"
The onlookers could not help but be excited.
In the next moment!
A white glow bloomed from the cauldron. Subsequently, Zhou Xinghe removed the formation and slapped the cauldron lid.
Whoosh …
A white elixir shot out at once.
Instantly, the medicinal fragrance spread, causing countless people to be intoxicated. "The Innate Spirit-clearing Barrier Breaking Pill. It's a grade-7 medicinal pill, the Innate Spirit-clearing Barrier Breaking Pill!"
Zhou Xinghe waved his sleeve and put the medicinal pill into the bottle. After that, he got up and tossed it to Elder Ge for appraisal.
"A grade-7 medicinal pill, the Innate Spirit-clearing Barrier Breaking Pill!"
Elder Ge secretly took a deep breath in and said after a pause, "Middle-grade. If a cultivator consumes this pill, it can remove mental barriers, clear the mind, and nourish the soul. It will reduce the chance of qi deviation …"
The crowd was in an uproar when they heard that!
A middle-grade grade-7 medicinal pill!
The crowd did not expect Zhou Xinghe to be able to refine such a high-quality medicinal pill at such a young age.
Rumble …
At the same time, Guo Hong's cauldron shone brightly as well. Then, a white glow fell into the bottle.
Elder Ge took it and appraised it. "A grade-7 medicinal pill, the Lunar Vitality Enhancement Pill. It has the effect of strengthening one's foundation and nourishing the eight meridians …"
For a moment, the crowd was shocked. They stared at Elder Ge with their eyes wide open, trying to figure out which of the two medicinal pills was better.
The most nervous person was the purple-clad girl.
Under everyone's gaze, Elder Ge continued, "However, this pill has a flaw. It only has three-quarters of the medicinal effect. Therefore, it is appraised as a low-grade grade-7 medicinal pill …"
He paused for a moment before he slowly said, "Therefore, Young Master Zhou wins this alchemy battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
Everyone present looked at Zhou Xinghe, their gazes filled with envy and respect …
Guo Hong could not help but look disappointed. His brows were filled with self-blame. The purple-clad girl behind him was like a defeated rooster, her head lowered.
Elder Ge looked at Guo Hong, "Master Guo, do you have any objections to my judgment?"
"No!"
Guo Hong smiled bitterly and bowed to Zhou Xinghe, "Young Master Zhou is able to refine a middle-grade grade-7 medicinal pill at such a young age. I'm inferior to you, and I admit my inferiority!"
"Grandpa …" The purple-clad girl could not bear it.
The rest nodded one after another. Clearly, they felt that Elder Ge's analysis was reasonable and fair. After all, everyone present was proficient in medicinal pills.
As the victor, Zhou Xinghe looked at Guo Hong with disdain, "Old thing, I told you long ago. Why did you have to humiliate yourself?"
"Idiot, let's go!"
Guo Hong could afford to lose. He turned around and pulled the purple-clad girl, whose eyes were bloodshot, away.
"Since Young Master Zhou has defeated Master Guo!"
Elder Ge glanced at the crowd and deliberately ignored Ye Chen. He said slowly, "Since there's no one else participating, I'll announce the winner of this alchemy competition …"
"Wait!"
Before he could finish, Zhou Xinghe suddenly interrupted him. The latter pointed at Ye Chen.
