Chapter 1766

. 2 Equally renowned.

"Little brother, did you come here to find Qin Tian for alchemy?" Master Lin asked.

"No, I came to find Qin Shuang'er." Zhao Yang said.

"Oh?" Master Lin was somewhat surprised. "You came to find Qin Shuang'er? I remember Qin Shuang'er only returned a few days ago. Could it be that you did not come together?"

"No." Zhao Yang replied somewhat helplessly.

"Little brother, I heard you are also an alchemist. I wonder if you are interested in competing with me?" Master Lin looked at Zhao Yang, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Yang's heart stirred; he was just looking for an opportunity to exercise his alchemy skills. So he immediately agreed, saying, "Very well, I am willing to compete with Master Lin."

Master Lin smiled slightly. He took out a cauldron, then retrieved some medicinal herbs from his pocket. With practiced skill, he refined the herbs together, then infused a wisp of spiritual power.

Zhao Yang immediately set to work as well. Although his time as an alchemist was not long, he had already mastered some basic alchemy techniques. He arranged the herbs according to the pill formula in his mind, then began controlling spiritual power to refine them.

A fierce contest erupted between Zhao Yang and Master Lin. The two men's techniques differed, yet both were equally practiced and precise. Their movements flowed like clouds and water, dazzling the onlooker.

Finally, Zhao Yang's pill took shape. Although its color was not as vivid as Master Lin's pill, its aura was far more intense. Master Lin looked at Zhao Yang's pill, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had not heard Zhao Yang's name before, yet Zhao Yang's alchemy skills left him utterly stunned.

"This is a Mortal Grade Third-Rank pill. I did not expect you to be able to refine it." Master Lin praised sincerely. "Your alchemy skills are very good. Let us compete again when we have the chance."

"Thank you, Master Lin, for your praise." Zhao Yang was also very happy in his heart. Although he knew his alchemy skills still had much to learn and improve, at this moment, he felt he had taken another step closer to the goal of becoming a top-tier alchemist.

He bid farewell to Master Lin, then headed to Qin Shuang'er's room. When he knocked on the door, Qin Shuang'er was cultivating inside.

"Zhao Yang, why have you come?" Qin Shuang'er asked, somewhat surprised.

"I just competed with Master Lin in alchemy skills." Zhao Yang said.

"Master Lin?" Qin Shuang'er was somewhat puzzled. "What is your relationship with him?"

"No relationship. I merely met him by chance. He said he wanted to compete with me in alchemy skills, so I agreed." Zhao Yang said.

Qin Shuang'er looked at Zhao Yang, feeling a certain admiration in her heart. Although Zhao Yang's alchemy skills were not as good as hers, he dared to compete with an alchemy master in Juncheng. This courage and confidence made her appreciate him even more.

"You truly have guts." Qin Shuang'er said. "Master Lin is one of the top alchemists in Juncheng. His alchemy skills have reached a new height."

"I know." Zhao Yang said. "But I am not afraid of failure. Only through failure can I learn and improve myself better."

Qin Shuang'er looked at Zhao Yang, feeling a certain emotion in her heart. This person, although younger than her, possessed perseverance and courage far beyond his peers. This perseverance and courage made her feel that Zhao Yang was more remarkable than many others.

"Did you need something from me?" Qin Shuang'er looked at Zhao Yang and asked.
