Yao Lingyu was the current master of the Medicine King Pavilion, a high-level Earth Sea Realm cultivator. He was one of the top figures in the Grand Xia Dynasty, but today, he was forced to take two steps back by a young man in front of so many civil and military officials. If this matter were to spread, the Medicine King Pavilion would lose all face.
No one expected Yang Wu to have such courage. Only Cao Jianda knew that Yang Wu would do such a thing. It was not surprising. Yang Wu was someone who even killed a top Barbarian King of the Barbarian Race.
"A dragon among men!" Cao Jianda sighed in his heart. At the same time, he felt sorry for his daughter. He wanted his daughter to be with Yang Wu, but unfortunately, his daughter's eyes were too high and she missed such a rich husband.
"General Yang is so powerful, even the master of the Medicine King Pavilion was forced to retreat," a civil official whispered.
It would have been better if he did not say it. After he said it, the civil and military officials began to discuss.
"Heroes come from the youth. Is the Medicine Lingyu Pavilion Master afraid of his sharp spirit?"
"General Yang really understands the essence of battle. This first move gave him a bit of an advantage in this challenge."
"Yao Lingyu shouldn't give in to this junior. Hurry up and teach him a lesson."
"Let's start the alchemy competition quickly. What's the use of these words?"
…
Two more kings appeared beside Yao Lingyu. They were afraid that Yang Wu would harm Yao Lingyu.
"What? Are you afraid that I'll kill your master in front of the emperor? I'm not that cruel. "Yang Wu smiled faintly.
After he said that, he completely withdrew his spiritual force, allowing Yao Lingyu to relax. Yao Lingyu's face turned green and red. He shouted loudly, "Yang Wu, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Let's see who's the real deal in alchemy."
Yao Lingyu had realized that Yang Wu was not easy to deal with. He also did not want to be entangled with Yang Wu. The best way was to suppress Yang Wu with alchemy.
"You know you're in the wrong, right? It's all thanks to His Majesty's tolerance. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of His Majesty." Yang Wu disdainfully replied.
At that moment, the Emperor said, "Alright, let the competition begin. Don't keep everyone waiting." Then he added, "Today, I and my beloved ministers will be the witnesses, and Elder Chen and the Medicine Priest will be the judges. The two masters can refine the pill without worry. No matter who wins or loses, I will reward them handsomely."
The Medicine Priest faintly said, "For the sake of fairness, the two of you will refine the best pills together. Whoever refines the highest grade pill will win."
A eunuch announced, "The alchemy competition begins."
Thus, Yang Wu and Yao Lingyu respectively stood on the left and right side of the open space and began the alchemy competition.
"Yang Wu, I'll let you see what alchemy is. Those who insult my Medicine King's Pavilion will not have a good ending. Just you wait." Yao Lingyu looked at Yang Wu and said with a fierce expression.
Yang Wu directly pointed a middle finger at Yao Lingyu and said, "Wait for lightning to strike you to death."
"Is that so? Then I'll be waiting. "Yao Lingyu sneered.
After saying that, a cauldron appeared in front of Yao Lingyu. This was a top grade cauldron made from many kinds of king materials. Moreover, this was the work of the long dead Master Refiner Xue Gui.
That year, Xue Gui had to use the earth's fire to refine this cauldron. It had extraordinary abilities. If he had used heaven grade materials, then this cauldron might have been a heaven grade cauldron.
Yao Lingyu did not immediately start refining the pill. Instead, he performed a strange ceremony, as if he was praying something. It was very solemn.
Yang Wu disdainfully said, "You think you can refine a good pill by pretending to be a ghost?"
A voice entered Yang Wu's ears, saying, "This is the blessing to form the pill."
This was a spiritual transmission technique.
Yang Wu's reaction was incomparably outstanding. He looked at Chen Zhao in front of him and knew that this Medicine King was reminding him.
Yang Wu shrugged indifferently and then began to refine the pill.
"I'll use this opportunity to refine the 'Qi Reversal Pill'." Yang Wu took a deep breath and secretly thought.
The Qi Reversal Pill was a pill that could allow his father to return to his original realm in one fell swoop. It could also repair his dantian and help him reach the next level.
Ordinary alchemists had to have a corresponding realm to improve their alchemy skills. Yang Wu was only at the Earth Sea Realm. Refining a heaven grade pill was undoubtedly a big challenge.
Yang Wu had enough confidence. He had the Divine Court Dao Flower, sufficient spiritual power, and the Blue Enchantress Heart Fire. How could ordinary people compare to him?
Just as Yang Wu was about to start the fire, Yao Lingyu started first.
Peng!
A ball of demonic flame jumped in Yao Lingyu's palm. It was a scorpion red flame.
Chen Zhao whispered, "Yao Yanhai's famous' Scorpion Flame '?"
"Hehe, it seems that Elder Chen has a deep impression of it. That's right, it's the 'Scorpion Flame'." Yao Lingyu said proudly.
The Scorpion Flame's origin was not ordinary. It came from the Sky Demon Scorpion's beast fire seed. It was very powerful and was very tempting to alchemists.
In the past, Chen Zhao and Yao Yanhai's alchemy skills were about the same, but they lacked a high level flame. Yao Yanhai used the high level flame to refine a higher quality pill and defeated Chen Zhao in one fell swoop. Chen Zhao still could not forget it.
Over the years, Chen Zhao had also collected a high-level fire seed. But now, Yao Yanhai's fire seed had been passed to Yao Lingyu. This proved that Yao Yanhai no longer needed this fire seed. He might have obtained a higher level fire seed. This was undoubtedly a big blow to Chen Zhao.
Some of the old officials present were fortunate enough to have seen this flame before. They all revealed looks of awe.
The Sky Demon Flame was not something that anyone could obtain. Without someone guarding it, there was no way to obtain it. Even if one was lucky enough to obtain it, one needed to have the ability to refine it. Some alchemists were not able to refine the high level flame and were even killed by the backlash. There were many such cases.
Just as Yao Lingyu was feeling proud, Yang Wu's flame was ignited.
Yang Wu's Blue Enchantress had only turned into a small flame, but it released an extremely hot energy. Even the civil and military officials far away could feel the strange heat.
At the same time, Yao Lingyu's Scorpion Flame was greatly disturbed. Its firepower quickly shrank. It was like a commoner meeting a king. There was no way for it to compete with Blue Enchantress.
"His flame counters my flame?" Yao Lingyu felt that he had lost control of the Scorpion Flame and exclaimed in his heart.
However, Yang Wu had no time to pay attention to him. He began his alchemy show.
In an instant, ordinary herbs flew out and kept falling into the medicine cauldron. Blue Enchantress was like a fairy. It began to burn on the bronze cauldron. Lines jumped on the bronze cauldron's wall. It began to refine the herbs in the cauldron one by one. Wisps of medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Now, no one could remain calm, especially Chen Zhao and Han Qingqian. They were both King Pharmacists. Their vision was not something that others could compare to.
Chen Zhao lost control and shouted, "He … he's using his spirit to control medicine!"
"General Yang is really a young man. No wonder he became a King Pharmacist at such a young age." Han Qingqian sighed.
The Emperor asked from the side, "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, only when the spiritual power of the Divine Court reaches the Heavenly Realm can one use his spirit to control medicine. This is the symbol of a Celestial Pharmacist," Han Qingqian replied.
"A Celestial Pharmacist!" The Emperor was extremely shocked.
The civil and military officials also heard the conversation. Their pupils constricted. They could not believe that this young man who was almost 18 years old was a Celestial Pharmacist.
Yao Lingyu was even more shocked. He revealed a panicked expression and said, "Impossible. This must be a trick. It must be a trick."
In the Medicine King Pavilion, only Yao Lingyu's father could reach the level of using his spirit to control medicine. However, he did not reach the level of controlling medicine as easily as Yang Wu. Yao Lingyu specialized in spiritual power, but he had not broken through to that level. However, he actually saw a young man who was not even 20 years old using his spiritual power to control herbs. He could not accept this fact.
Yang Wu had already entered a state of full concentration. If he knew that they were so shocked, he would definitely respond innocently, "Isn't this the normal way of refining pills?"
Ever since he started practicing alchemy, he had been doing this because he learned from Little Hei. Although he knew that ordinary alchemists used their hands to throw herbs into the cauldron to refine them, he never thought that "using one's spirit to control medicine" was a symbol of a Celestial Pharmacist.
Yao Lingyu bit his tongue. The pain woke him up. He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "This is all an illusion. I want to refine a higher level pill to defeat him."
Yao Lingyu got rid of his distracting thoughts and began to refine the pills step by step. Although he was not like Yang Wu who could "control the medicine with his mind", he still had a unique method to control the herbs to enter the cauldron in an orderly manner. His scorpion flame began to burn, skillfully refining the herbs.
The civil and military officials were all watching attentively. Compared to the two of them refining pills at the same time, Yang Wu's refining was undoubtedly more attractive. It was as if he was performing a kind of artistic creation. Every movement was as smooth as flowing water. Many of the herbs moved without any wind, continuously flying into the cauldron. It was even more pleasing to the eye. The blue enchantress also added to the visual impact.
Yao Lingyu's alchemy technique was also very experienced, but there was no harm without comparison. He had already been completely overshadowed by Yang Wu and could only focus on refining pills.
"Junior Brother, this youth must join our Imperial College," Chen Zhao said to Han Qingqian telepathically.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. You should ask him yourself. I feel that this time, the Emperor might not be willing to let him go," Han Qingqian said. Han Qingqian paused for a moment before adding, "Will the Royal School be able to accept him, the King of Youth?"
"I can push him up. I believe that he won't refuse," Chen Zhao said with great eagerness.
"I heard that he already has a mysterious master behind him. Perhaps he came from the Transcendent World."
"No matter what, I have to give it a try. Perhaps he will make a better choice."
