Chapter 92: Look Who's More Excellent!

With Hu Liang and Duan Ran successfully refining pills, the third alchemist Tao Lexin also successfully came out of the furnace.

He was not well-known on Yu Ding Peak, but once he became the third alchemist to open a furnace, he immediately attracted many people's attention.

"Seven pills formed, three with one-path pill patterns, third place, I'll give you twelve points." Li Xiuqi said with a nod.

Tao Lexin hurriedly bowed, let out a sigh of relief, and walked to the side.

"That alchemist from Shu Fa Peak succeeded too!"

"Seven pills formed, also three with one-path pill patterns, impressive!"

"Looks like we underestimated him again, another twelve points, tied with Tao Lexin."

The Second-Rank Alchemist from Shu Fa Peak was under great pressure; now that he opened the furnace and saw the formed Five Poison Pills inside, he could finally wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing the other disciples behind him successively withdrawing their fire, Yu Changsheng also formed hand seals to begin the finishing touches.

His action drew many sidelong glances.

"Eh, that disciple from Yushou Peak is done too!"

"Hahaha, withdrawing fire so quickly, he probably failed!"

"Who knows who gave him the courage to throw in materials together."

"He's about to lift the lid, let's see what he refined his Five Poison Pills into."

"Bright, so bright!"

Within everyone's vision, when Yu Changsheng lifted the furnace lid, a dazzling light seemed to bloom inside the alchemy furnace.

But after an instant, the blinding feeling seemed to disappear again, everything like an illusion.

"Oh?"

Li Xiuqi looked at Yu Changsheng in surprise, focused his gaze on the Five Poison Pills inside the furnace, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Interesting, ten complete ten perfect, ten pills, although without pill patterns, every one is round and plump."

"As expected of Gongsun Yang's disciple, hehehe, I'll give you eleven points."

Yu Changsheng cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Elder."

After speaking, he rested and recovered his mana at the side.

On the Viewing Platform, Xu Lao raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked: "Gongsun Yang, is this disciple of yours refining Five Poison Pills for the first time? I don't think so?"

Gongsun Yang grinned and said: "Xu Lao, I don't know the pill topic for this first match, don't falsely accuse me."

"My disciple's talent, you can see for yourself in the following matches."

Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Technique is also famous on Yu Ding Peak, but the cultivation difficulty is too great, and it takes too much time, so many Yu Ding Peak disciples cannot persist.

But the elders on the Viewing Platform all know Gongsun Yang's ability; being able to refine Third Rank Pills during the Qi Refining Period is something they cannot do.

Xu Lao chuckled and said: "Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Technique, I want to see it; compared with my Virtual Fire Alchemy Technique, who is more superior?"

"Little Xu, your disciples have already reached Foundation Establishment; comparing them with Qi Refining disciples, even if you win, it's not very interesting."

"How about this fifth round, restricting cultivation bases, so the comparison is more interesting, what do you say?"

At the center of the Viewing Platform, Huang Lao on the main seat suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, the other Protector Elders also smiled and said: "Indeed, the Alchemy Conference is originally about comparing alchemy skills; under the same cultivation base, refining pills can show one's alchemy level."

"Huang Lao's suggestion is good; in my opinion, let's just do it this way."

"Previous Alchemy Conferences were so boring; this year it's rare that they changed the pills, so let's change the rules too."

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

Li Xiuqi glanced at Xu Lao, whose complexion looked a bit ugly, and couldn't help but laugh and cry in his heart; this was lifting a stone to smash his own foot. Under the same realm, given the special nature of Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Technique, there was an eighty percent chance it would be more advantageous.

As for Virtual Fire Alchemy Technique, among many alchemy techniques it was not particularly special; the only place it had an advantage was speed.

"Hahaha, let's just go with what Huang Lao says."

Before Li Xiuqi could speak, Xu Lao laughed out loud himself.

He forced himself to stay calm, feeling a bit guilty inside, but still said confidently: "Virtual Fire Alchemy Technique has been passed down for hundreds of years; its profundity is not something Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Technique can compare to."

"Let's just sit and see whose disciple is more excellent."

"Good." Gongsun Yang said with a smile.

Anyway he wouldn't lose, and Gongsun Yang secretly glanced at Yu Changsheng, pondering in his heart: "Just how much strength has this kid hidden?"

"Could it be he only plans to get a top three spot? Then he would be slapped in the face himself."

He thought for a moment; at the beginning he had reminded Yu Changsheng not to act too exceptionally, but this time the rules were changed; under the same realm, using Three-Fire Refinement even if a bit more excellent would not arouse suspicion.

Besides, geniuses, sometimes always hiding would only make people look down on them; better to be excellent when they should be excellent!

After thinking it through, Gongsun Yang sent a sound transmission to Yu Changsheng.

Beside him, Xu Lao saw the situation and also hurriedly sent a sound transmission to Hu Liang, telling him to use all his strength to refine pills, and not to lose to an unknown nobody! After Yu Changsheng learned of this, he was extremely surprised and turned to look at Hu Liang's location.

Coincidentally, Hu Liang also looked at him.

The two looked at each other, with confusion, astonishment, and combat intent.

Hu Liang smiled slightly, then turned his head, and in his heart officially regarded Yu Changsheng as an opponent.

This kind of struggle over the superiority of alchemy inheritance, they as disciples must step forward to fight for their Master's honor!

"Yushou Peak disciple, looking at the ten complete ten perfect Five Poison Pills he just refined, his alchemy level is not low, very likely he has reached Second Rank."

"Master reminded himself not to be careless, hehehe, when it comes to alchemy I have always been fully prepared."

Hu Liang's gaze was low.

Not far away, Duan Ran, who noticed them, was somewhat baffled.

"These two are facing off?"

Unfortunately his Master was not among the five Protector Elders, some things he could not know, and he even had no prior information about refining poison pills this time, completely relying on alchemy skill to get through.

"This time in the Alchemy Conference, I will take first place!"

Duan Ran narrowed his eyes.

His realm was already near the peak of Qi Refining; this time he participated in the Alchemy Conference to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if he lost this opportunity, obtaining Foundation Establishment Pill materials in the future would cost several times the price.

Tens of thousands in material costs—even he, a Second-Rank Alchemist, couldn't afford it.

As more and more alchemists successfully opened their furnaces.

The cultivators watching from outside the venue also became lively.

"I didn't expect that Yushou Peak disciple to actually refine a Ten Complete Ten Perfect pill; truly eye-opening. Are you sure this guy isn't a Yu Ding Peak disciple?"

"Judging by his attire, he really is from Yushou Peak. Strange. Could he possibly have been a Loose Cultivator before?"

"A Loose Cultivator refining a Five Poison Pill is possible, but I fear, I fear this guy is truly a person of talent!"

"Hahaha, no way—refining pills and taming beasts, how old is he anyway!"

"Black Horse, absolutely a Black Horse. Anyone taking bets? I want to wager on him!"

The news gradually spread, and many disciples still on the Main Peak learned that there was a Yushou Peak disciple who could refine pills, and had even refined a Ten Complete Ten Perfect Five Poison Pill! Some young and beautiful Female Cultivators, upon seeing Yu Zhangsheng, couldn't help but throw more flirtatious glances.

So handsome, can tame beasts and refine pills—too excellent! (Chapter End)
