Chapter 401 Why Not Refine a Rank 5
Chapter 401 Why Not Refine a Fifth-Rank Item?
These words only fueled the anger of the crowd.
In alchemist competitions, there is an unwritten rule that advanced alchemists must accommodate less advanced ones and refine lower-grade pills to determine the winner.
Ma Qianli is now clearly abusing his power to bully others!
Ma Qianli was unconcerned about the angry outcry; his most important task now was to defeat Leng Yun, no matter what method he had to use.
In contrast, Leng Yun wore a cold smile and didn't say a word.
"How about it? If you're not okay, then hurry home!" Ma Qianli said smugly, thinking that Leng Yun was scared.
Leng Yun waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.
Then, he said, slowly and deliberately, "Why don't we refine some fifth-grade pills?"
Though the words were spoken softly, they were like a bombshell, immediately causing an uproar among those around them.
Leng Yun's counterattack made everyone feel extremely proud. They forgot to be surprised that Leng Yun was a fifth-grade alchemist at such a young age, and they didn't even care whether what Leng Yun said was true or false. They just cheered excitedly.
Ma Qianli's face turned grim, and he asked with some confusion, "What did you say?"
"I mean, why don't we refine some fifth-grade pills?" Leng Yunqing said clearly again, and cheers erupted around them once more.
Ma Qianli originally intended to overwhelm his opponent with his superior level, but unexpectedly, he ended up getting a solid slap in the face.
"Are you kidding me? How could that be? You're a fifth-grade alchemist?" Ma Qianli looked incredulous.
Leng Yun smiled and said loudly, "It's my skill to be able to refine fifth-grade pills. If you can't refine fifth-grade pills, then hurry home and stop making a fool of yourself here!"
These were the words Ma Qianli had just said, and Leng Yun, using the same tactics against him, repeated them to Ma Qianli.
Another cheer erupted from the surroundings.
“I don’t believe you, you’re a fifth-grade alchemist!” Ma Qianli said.
Taking advantage of the situation, Pale said, "How about this: if Leng Yun can refine a fifth-grade pill, then Leng Yun will be considered the winner, how about that?"
Ma Qianli's eyes flashed with a cold glint: "If Leng Yun can't master it, then I'll win. If I win, the Alchemist Guild will have to disband!"
Pale slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Good!"
He had no other choice at the moment, so all eyes were now on Leng Yun.
Whether Leng Yun can refine a fifth-grade pill becomes the key point.
"Hmph! I don't believe you can refine a fifth-grade pill!" Ma Qianli revealed a sinister smile. "Let's see what you'll do when you're exposed!"
As he spoke, Pale walked onto the arena and handed Leng Yun a pill formula.
“This is an antidote formula that works in conjunction with the Ice Bed, and it can neutralize the poison in your friend’s body,” Pale said. “You should refine this pill.”
Leng Yun took the prescription. He knew that Cang Bai's actions must have been carefully considered, because helping Feng Mei detoxify meant going against the Qiyao Pavilion.
Therefore, Pale decided to continue the competition and test Leng Yun again to see if he was indeed a fifth-grade alchemist.
If a fifth-grade alchemist can refine pills, then with the help of the Ice Bed, they can detoxify Feng Mei. And with Leng Yun's help from the Alchemist Guild, there is no need to fear the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion.
If they cannot refine the elixir, then everything is just empty talk. Feng Mei cannot save them, and the Alchemist Guild will have no choice but to disband in order to save its own life.
“Let’s begin!” Gara said nervously, knowing exactly what that meant.
All eyes were on Leng Yun.
Leng Yun calmly took out the alchemy furnace and then lit a flame inside.
Although this fifth-grade pill was extremely complex, Leng Yun was merely putting on a show; all the work was actually done by the system.
As he spoke, Leng Yun had already thrown several medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace.
Now, everyone has become accustomed to Leng Yun's unique alchemy methods, which have become so casual as to be almost bizarre.
Despite appearing completely haphazard and like a complete novice, Leng Yun had already extracted the essence of several medicinal herbs.
As the alchemy process progressed, Ma Qianli's face grew increasingly grim, because he discovered that Leng Yun indeed possessed the ability to refine fifth-grade pills.
Soon, Leng Yun began the most important step: blending the various essence liquids together.
Ma Qianli knew that if he didn't do something, it would be tantamount to a slow death.
With a thought, a barely perceptible hidden weapon suddenly appeared from Ma Qianli's sleeve and headed straight for Leng Yun.
Most of the audience was focused on Leng Yun refining pills, so they didn't notice the hidden weapon.
Only a few people, including Grand Tutor Pang, noticed the anomaly, but it was too late. The next second, the hidden weapon was already close to Leng Yun.
Ma Qianli's plan was well-conceived. The most crucial step in alchemy cannot be taken lightly. Even if Leng Yun caught the hidden weapon, he would still fail to refine the medicine due to distraction.
Unfortunately, Ma Qianli didn't know that Leng Yun's alchemy was different from other alchemists; he could completely ignore it and leave everything to the system.
Leng Yun reacted extremely quickly, letting out a soft hum and flicking his hand, sending out a streak of white fire.
The white flames first engulfed the black hidden weapon, burning it to ashes, and then transformed into a beam of white light that shot straight into Ma Qianli's body.
The white fire poison was extremely powerful. Although Ma Qianli was an alchemist, his cultivation level was not high enough to withstand it. He immediately felt a pain and was horrified. He immediately mobilized his own flames to expel the poison.
Everyone was once again amazed by Leng Yun. They never expected that he could still spare the time to teach his opponent a lesson at such a crucial moment. Such skill made him the number one alchemist.
The fire poison in Ma Qianli's body had not yet been dispelled, while Leng Yun had already reached the final step of elixir formation.
A perfectly round white pill slowly rose into the air above the alchemy furnace amidst the flames, rotating gently and displaying its perfect shape from all angles.
Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed, the flames disappeared, and the pill was complete!
Leng Yun placed the pill into a glass bottle.
At that moment, another round of enthusiastic applause erupted from all around.
"Even though I already know, I still can't believe it. He really is a fifth-grade alchemist!" Pale exclaimed.
“Yes, judging from the appearance of that pill, it should be considered a perfect grade five pill!” Galo echoed.
Grand Tutor Pang sat to one side, a smile on his face, as if to say, 'I already said that.'
The only person with a grim expression on the square was Ma Qianli, because as an alchemist, he knew without looking closely that Leng Yun had indeed refined a fifth-grade pill!
Moreover, this fifth-grade pill is the best among the fifth-grade pills.
In this way, Ma Qianli's defeat was already a foregone conclusion.
And the tasks assigned to him by the Miracle Medicine Pavilion have all fallen through!
