Chapter 455 The Competition of Sixth-Rank Alchemists
Leng Yun walked to the last glass box. Although it was empty, there was still a faint mark on it.
He knew immediately what had been placed there.
It turned out to be that chilling fruit.
Presumably, Cai Zhibing had already taken these things and kept them with him.
Leng Yun even felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier that the Heart-Cold Fruit was actually in the Rare Medicine Pavilion, he would have secretly come and snatched it away long ago.
However, at this point, the only way is to win in the ring.
Fortunately, he had already been promoted to a sixth-grade alchemist, giving him a strong enough confidence to win.
He had already emptied the entire treasure vault, and there was nothing left to linger over, so Leng Yun turned and left the vault's gate.
When he walked out of the vault, the guards who had been knocked down were still unconscious and had not noticed him.
This shows just how lax the defenses of this Miracle Medicine Pavilion were.
Afterwards, Leng Yun returned to the Alchemist Guild's headquarters.
Although it was late at night and the moon was high in the sky.
But Leng Yun saw from afar that Feng Mei was sitting on the roof, looking up at the moon with a hint of sorrow on her face.
Then, Leng Yun walked to Feng Mei's side: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Brother Yun, you're back! I've been waiting for you," Feng Mei said excitedly upon seeing Leng Yun.
Leng Yun smiled but didn't say anything.
"Brother Yun, are you really able to win tomorrow's match?" Feng Mei asked.
Leng Yun said, "Don't worry, when have I ever let you down?"
Feng Mei nodded, her face slightly flushed, and said with a smile, "That's true."
After that, neither of them spoke; they simply sat quietly on the roof, watching the crescent moon hang silently in the sky.
Before she knew it, Feng Mei moved closer to Leng Yun and gently leaned on his shoulder.
……
The next morning, before dawn, the entire square was already filled with people who had come to watch the game.
Because it was a duel between sixth-grade alchemists, everyone was even more excited, and no one wanted to miss such a rare competition.
So many people arrive early, hoping to secure the best spot, while those who arrive a little later can only stand on the periphery, sighing incessantly.
When Leng Yun and the others arrived, the entire arena was already packed with people.
Fortunately, there was a special passage for the competition, which allowed Leng Yun and the others to successfully walk onto the arena.
"Hmph! You've finally arrived. I thought you were scared!" Cai Zhibing was already standing on the arena.
Leng Yun looked at Cai Zhibing's appearance, then glanced at the two elders behind him.
He could tell that they already knew that the treasure vault of the Miracle Medicine Pavilion had been emptied.
However, not a single message has come out of the Miracle Medicine Pavilion; it must have been suppressed by Cai Zhibing.
Of course, if the Miracle Medicine Pavilion were to publicize this matter, their supporters would decrease significantly.
Thinking about this, Leng Yun gradually realized that Cai Zhibing was indeed a cunning person.
Although the two elders looked distressed, as if they had lost a fortune, that was indeed the case.
However, Cai Zhibing remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.
When the two stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause. After all, they had been waiting for this moment for so long; the real showdown was about to begin.
There are only a handful of sixth-grade alchemists in the entire Fanglai Kingdom. A sixth-grade alchemist can become a local overlord by relying on their own strength, just like the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion.
So everyone looked at the two of them with envy. For ordinary people, they might never encounter an alchemist of this caliber in their entire lives.
"Go, Brother Yun!" Feng Mei shouted from behind.
Beside her, Grand Tutor Pang also looked somewhat nervous, his eyes fixed on the situation on the arena.
"In that case, let's begin," Leng Yun said casually.
"Hmph! Fine, let's see how you lose!" Cai Zhibing sneered.
He thought that Leng Yun was just trying to forcefully refine a sixth-grade pill, and that the consequences of failure might be even more serious than that of the pill itself, which could lead to his death from the backlash.
With the sound of a bell, the two took out their respective alchemy furnaces.
This time, they refined a sixth-grade elixir, the Wind and Clouds Rising Pill.
This elixir, if ingested, grants temporary control over the power of the wind, making one incredibly swift in movement. It is a divine weapon for escaping, and even those three levels higher cannot catch it.
However, the process of refining a sixth-grade pill is extremely complex, and only those who reach the intermediate level of a sixth-grade alchemist have a chance of succeeding.
Therefore, Cai is absolutely confident of victory this time.
The alchemy process began. Leng Yun first integrated the pill formula into the system space, and then began throwing one type of pill into the alchemy furnace.
Cai Zhibing, who was standing to the side, revealed a sinister smile after seeing Leng Yun's actions.
"Hmph, I thought this kid really had some trump card, but it turns out he's still the same as when he was refining fifth-grade pills, he hasn't improved at all!" Cai Zhibing thought to himself.
Because he saw that Leng Yun's movements remained as casual as ever.
As the grade of the pill increases, the required concentration also increases. Someone as careless as Leng Yun has a very high chance of failure.
Thinking of this, Cai Zhibing couldn't help but smile again.
He also began to refine his own elixirs.
Inside his alchemy furnace, a ball of orange-red flame was refining a medicinal herb.
The surrounding audience remained silent, simply watching the two men concoct the medicine.
Some knowledgeable people could see that Cai Zhibing was indeed a skilled alchemist; every step he took was a standard procedure for alchemists, making his alchemy a textbook example.
Meanwhile, Leng Yun's movements were quite casual, yet at this point, the essence he had extracted was even faster than Cai Zhibing's.
Soon after, Cai Zhibing also discovered this, and he was surprised to realize that Leng Yun was not forcibly refining a sixth-grade pill!
And Leng Yun really is a sixth-grade alchemist!
Thinking of this, Cai Zhibing couldn't help but be surprised: "How is that possible? His strength was only at the fifth rank yesterday, how could it have become the sixth rank overnight!"
Just as he was distracted, the flames in front of him suddenly jolted, and he almost failed.
Cai Zhibing quickly regained his composure, not daring to think any further, and could only concentrate on refining the medicine.
On the other side, the old man and Jialuo both showed excited expressions.
"This Leng Yun is really good at playing mysterious. He's actually a sixth-grade alchemist. We were worried about him all night!" the old man said with a smile.
"Yes, it's incredible. I wonder when he reached the sixth rank." Galo also looked incredulous.
