A hundred low-grade Xuan Spirit Stones was quite a fortune for a martial artist in the Human General Realm, but it was nothing for an alchemist, especially a spirit-level alchemist.
Cheng Xinran, Yao Yikai, and Ni Zi were all spirit alchemists. They often refined elixirs for their seniors and juniors in the Martial Institution and earned a sizable income.
They were all angered by Yang Wu and ran back to get their Xuan Spirit Stones, wanting to compete with Yang Wu in alchemy.
Yang Wu was really bored. He had even defeated the Medicine King Pavilion Master. He really had no interest in dealing with these low-level alchemists. For the sake of the Martial Arts Tournament, he endured it.
Chen Zhao added fuel to the fire and spread the news of Yang Wu's alchemy competition. Many disciples of the Alchemy Department walked out of their alchemy rooms. Some disciples of the Outer Yard also heard the news and hurried over to watch.
In an instant, the Elixir Institution's alchemy field became much more lively.
"Elder Chen, why did you make such a big scene?" Yang Wu looked at Chen Zhao in confusion.
"Didn't I just say to let him know that there's always someone better?" Chen Zhao replied.
"Why do I feel like I'm abusing my power to avenge a personal grudge?"
"You guessed right. Those two brats were arranged by the Medicine King Pavilion. Their talent in alchemy is not bad, but they were led astray by the Medicine King Pavilion and disrespected their elders. Don't you think so?"
"But you want me to teach them a lesson. Don't you think it's a bit overkill? You have to give me some compensation. "
"I'll let you become a disciple of the Institution."
"I can also use my military identity to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament."
"Don't. What else do you want?"
…
After Yang Wu and Chen Zhao whispered for a while, Chen Zhao finally agreed to some of Yang Wu's additional conditions.
Chen Zhao muttered in his heart, "He really doesn't want to be taken advantage of."
Cheng Xinran, Yao Yikai, and Ni Zi each came with their low-grade Xuan Spirit Stones.
"Marquis Yang, I'll show you what alchemy is!" Cheng Xinran shouted with a strong desire for revenge.
"Of all the names, you dare call yourself a Marquis. This time, I'll make you a Monkey Marquis." Yao Yi Kai laughed coldly.
Ni Zi was very calm. She was an outstanding disciple nurtured by the academy, not a member of the Medicine King Pavilion. She just wanted to see what kind of alchemy ability this young man, who was recommended by the vice principal, had.
Yang Wu calmly walked towards one of the cauldrons. There were a total of eight cauldrons here, and they were all Imperial Cauldrons. They were the academy's Eight Cauldrons.
These eight cauldrons were usually used for alchemy competitions or when refining Pill Kings.
"Senior Martial Brother Cheng and the others are competing in alchemy with this guy. How unfamiliar!"
"Marquis Yang, how dare you use such a name? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out?"
"He looks like a noble family's young master, not an alchemist."
"To be able to make Cheng, Yao, and Ni challenge him together, this guy has some face."
…
Many of the Pill Institution's disciples were whispering to each other, expressing their doubts about Yang Wu.
A youth in a corner recognized Yang Wu's identity and cried out involuntarily, "Why did he come to the academy?"
After he finished shouting, he ran towards a certain direction and shouted, "Your Highness, Fifth Prince, Young Master Yang has come to the academy."
When Yang Wu stood still, Chen Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, quiet down. Young Master Yang is an alchemist. He wants to join the Pill Institution, and I'll give him a condition. As long as he can beat the top three disciples of the Pill Institution in alchemy, he can join the Pill Institution and become the Senior Martial Brother of the Pill Institution. Let us all be witnesses." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "This competition is very simple. They all have the same materials, and whoever can refine the best Spirit Level Blood Recovery Pill the fastest will be the winner."
"Good!" The surrounding disciples all exclaimed in unison.
Cheng Xinran, Yao Yikai, and Ni Zi were all recognized as the three most outstanding alchemists in the Pill Institution. It was only a matter of time before they became Medicine Kings. If Yang Wu could beat them, they had no reason to reject him as the Senior Martial Brother.
"You want to be the Senior Martial Brother? No way. Let's start," Cheng Xinran urged.
"Yeah, cut the crap. Let's see who's the real deal!" Yao Yikai agreed.
"Okay, let's start," Chen Zhao replied. He thought to himself, "Marquis of Celestial Master bullied your Pavilion Master first, and now he's bullying you guys. I wonder if Marquis of Celestial Master feels guilty."
Yang Wu looked around, then said to Cheng Xinran, Yao Yikai, and Ni Zi, "I'll let you guys have 15 minutes, so you won't say I bullied you."
"Arrogant!" the three of them said in unison.
The people below all showed a look of incomparable surprise. They couldn't understand whether Yang Wu was too conceited or was he very confident in himself.
Yang Wu crossed his arms in front of his chest and closed his eyes, ignoring them.
"Since he wants to be arrogant, let's show him our alchemy skills," Yao Yikai said and began to refine pills. A ball of green demon fire appeared in his palm.
This was a fire seed of a green wolf demon. Even though it wasn't very pure, it was rare for alchemists.
Cheng Xinran's fire was also ignited. He also had a special fire seed that originated from a fire stone seed. It was a fire seed that wasn't any weaker than a Demon King Fire Seed. It also had the ability to improve and was even harder to find.
Ni Zi's fire seed was a very faint purple fire. It was a Heaven Thunder Fire Seed. If it was a pure Heaven Thunder Fire Seed, its power would be very strong. Unfortunately, it was only a thin wisp of essence Heaven Thunder Fire Seed.
The three of them were very experienced in alchemy. Their movements were very smooth. Many herbs fell into the cauldron and were refined into medicinal essences one by one.
For the other alchemist disciples, this was a rare opportunity to learn. They could observe their alchemy skills and verify their own shortcomings.
Chen Zhao was also watching. He had to admit that these three disciples had already grasped the essence of alchemy. As their strength increased, it wouldn't be difficult for them to become alchemy kings. Once they broke through the Earth Sea Realm, they would become true alchemy kings.
"It's a pity that two of them are from the Medicine King Pavilion. If they all enter Mount Emei, what will happen in the future?" Chen Zhao sighed softly in his heart.
From the perspective of the development of the school, the more disciples that entered Mount Emei, the better. This would greatly strengthen the national power of the Xia Kingdom. However, Cheng Xinran and Yao Yikai were both from the Medicine King Pavilion. They already had thoughts of overstepping the imperial authority. If they were allowed to grow stronger, it would be unstoppable in the future.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Chen Zhao wanted to destroy these two seedlings. As for Ni Zi, she should be fine. Her heart was incomparably firm. In just two short years, she had gone from a young girl who didn't know alchemy to a spiritual apothecary. This was definitely related to her temperament.
Perhaps Yang Wu's appearance would make her more aware of her own shortcomings.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. The three of them had already condensed a lot of herbal essences. Their performance was very stable. The number of damaged herbs was also very limited. This proved that their alchemy skills had already reached a higher level.
Tang Xiaohan had been staring at the hourglass. Seeing that the time was up, she hurriedly called out, "Brother Yang Wu, fifteen minutes are up. You can start now."
Her call attracted the attention of most people. Everyone also recognized her. At the same time, they were also guessing the relationship between Yang Wu and the princess.
At this time, two beautiful girls walked over from not far away. They were the top five beauties of the school, Lin Qiqi and Cao Fenni. The two of them were wearing different colored clothes. They were like two flowers competing for beauty.
Lin Qiqi's most alluring part was her perky and full buttocks. Her clothes seemed to be unable to restrain them. It felt like they would burst open at any time. No matter which man saw them, they couldn't look away.
Cao Fenni's advantage was that her figure was more balanced. She also dressed up a little. Her tied hair fluttered in the wind, making her look very nimble and agile. She was like a flower that had just bloomed and was swaying in the wind.
When they stood together, they were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own fragrance.
When they came out of the crowd, many people took the initiative to give way to them and let them in.
Many of the seniors and juniors had been drooling over them for a long time.
Lin Qiqi and Cao Fenni looked at Yang Wu standing in front of the cauldron and cried out involuntarily, "It's him!"
They looked at each other and asked, "You know him?"
The two of them revealed awkward expressions and shifted their gazes to Yang Wu. They wanted to see what Yang Wu was doing.
Yang Wu slowly opened his eyes and looked in Tang Xiaohan's direction. He said calmly, "There's no rush. Let them in for a while longer."
"They've already refined a lot of herbs." Tang Xiaohan reminded him.
Wan Lanxin, who was beside Tang Xiaohan, said, "You must have confidence in him."
At this moment, another person rushed over. It was the Fifth Prince, Tang Chencheng, who was led by Gao Shengcai.
The Fifth Prince's arm had been chopped off by Cao Qinggong at the borders. If not for Yang Wu asking Little Hei to refine the Bone Connecting Pill, his arm would not have been able to be reattached.
After the Fifth Prince reattached his arm and returned to the Royal School, his entire person had changed.
He no longer had the arrogant aura he had in the past. He only had a calm and experienced appearance. It was obvious that the trip to the borders had broadened his horizons and increased his understanding.
After returning to the Royal School, he rarely returned to the Royal Palace. He had always been concentrating on his cultivation, afraid that there would be repercussions from his broken arm. Fortunately, there had not been any other abnormalities.
His cultivation level had not increased, but his strength as a high-level human general was incomparably solid. He believed that it would not be long before he could break through to the top human general level.
When he heard that Yang Wu had come to the Royal School, he quickly rushed over. He no longer had any hatred towards Yang Wu, only a deep sense of gratitude.
Without Yang Wu, he would be a cripple. The Royal Family would not tolerate the existence of such a prince.
"Yang Wu, this time I must repay you properly." The Fifth Prince thought to himself.
"Another quarter of an hour has passed. Is he still not planning to refine the pill? Could it be that he's just an empty shell? "
"He must be pretending to be calm. Maybe he really doesn't know how to refine pills."
"What the hell is this guy? If he doesn't know how to refine pills, he should just admit defeat. He's making us wait here like idiots."
…
Amidst the dissatisfied voices, Yang Wu finally began to refine pills.
