At the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance, Wan Er said excitedly, "Young Master Lin, we won!"
Lin Xuan nodded. This was all within his expectations.
Wan Er continued, "The second round of the contest is in five days. This ti, we have to refine the elixirs on-site. I wonder what kind it will be? It must be another new elixir."
As she said this, Wan Er’s expression grew solemn. She looked at Lin Xuan seriously and said, "Young Master Lin, from now on, everything depends on you. As long as you win the second round, I’ll give you the Fire Dragon Jade with both hands and present you with a grand gift."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Leave everything to ."
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
「On this day,」
the Pill Tower was bustling with activity once more. A large crowd had gathered for the second round of the competition between the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance and the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance.
The competition involved live alchemy, so many people ca to watch the spectacle. After all, a duel between Fourth-Grade Alchemy Masters was a rare sight. Martial Artists from various clans and sects were present, along with many other Alchemy Masters.
mbers of the Fire Dragon Sect also arrived, among them Huo Yuner and Situ Hang.
They had co to see just what kind of expert the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance had invited. Huo Yuner wanted to confirm if it was Lin Xuan who had helped them refine the elixir, while Situ Hang wanted to see who had replaced him.
Situ Hang’s arrival caused a commotion. The crowd saluted him, parting to form a path. This was a true Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master. To think that even soone of his caliber would co.
After Situ Hang entered the Pill Tower, he took a seat, closed his eyes, and rested, waiting for the competition to begin.
Soon, the people from the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance arrived. They spotted Situ Hang instantly and sneered. So, Situ Hang is here. He must be here to participate in the competition. Just as we thought, the expert behind the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance is Situ Hang.
Master Qingyou smiled. It seed his opponent in the second round would be Situ Hang, which ant he had nothing to worry about. Situ Hang was only an early-stage Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master; it would be impossible for him to refine the Unworried Pill on the spot. He was no match for him.
In the second round, victory was his.
The other spectators began to debate who would win.
"It should be the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance," one person said. "I heard that in the first round, they refined a mid-tier Fourth-Grade elixir, suppressing the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance. This shows they have an extrely powerful alchemy expert backing them. I think they’ll definitely win again this ti."
Hearing this, many people nodded, but others scoffed. "What do you know? The Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance only managed to refine a mid-tier Fourth-Grade elixir because they got lucky. But that kind of luck won’t last forever. This ti, there’s no way they can refine an elixir of that level again."
"It’s hard to say who will win this match."
"Anyway, I’m betting on the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance."
"That’s right. The Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance’s representative is Master Qingyou, a veteran Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master with incredible skill. We don’t even know who’s competing for the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance yet."
"Maybe it really was just a lucky guy. Once his luck runs out, he’s guaranteed to lose."
More and more people ca to agree with this viewpoint, and gradually, the consensus was that the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance would win the second round.
Before long, the people from the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance arrived.
Their arrival also caused a stir among the crowd.
Huo Yuner instantly grew tense. They’re here, they’re here.
She looked toward the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance’s group and imdiately saw Lin Xuan.
Huo Yuner frowned. Why is that kid here too, and with the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance? What’s his relationship with them now?
Situ Hang also saw Lin Xuan but only gave him a passing glance, paying him no real attention. His gaze swept through the group, searching for their Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master. But after a full scan, he frowned, as he didn’t recognize any Fourth-Grade Alchemy Masters.
What’s going on? Where is the expert backing the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance? Why haven’t they appeared? Are they hiding? That must be it.
Situ Hang snorted coldly. He wasn’t worried; the opponent would have to show up eventually. Once the second round began, they would reveal themselves, and he would finally know who this hidden master truly was.
More and more people arrived until the entire area was packed, creating a lively sea of people.
"The Tower Master has arrived!" a clear voice rang out.
Instantly, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone looked up to see a figure flying in from the distance. He was an old man with the air of an immortal sage—the Tower Master of the Dragon Dao Pill Tower, Tower Master Ouyang.
"Greetings, Tower Master."
Nurous Alchemy Masters stood and saluted.
Tower Master Ouyang waved his hand. "There’s no need for formalities. Please, be seated."
Once everyone was seated, Tower Master Ouyang said with a smile, "Allow to announce the content and rules for the second round. This round will be live alchemy. The elixir to be refined is called the Unworried Pill, a Fourth-Grade elixir. The pill recipe for the Unworried Pill and the necessary dicinal materials will be provided by our Pill Tower.
"The Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance and the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance will each send one Alchemy Master to refine the elixir on-site. Each person will have three sets of materials, which ans you have three attempts. If all three attempts fail, you are eliminated.
"The duration for the second round is still ten days. You must refine the Unworried Pill within that ti. The final outco will be determined by the quality of the refined elixir; the one with the higher quality wins. If the quality is the sa, the refinent ti will decide the winner. The one with the shorter ti wins."
The crowd erupted into discussion after the announcent.
"The Unworried Pill? I’ve never heard of it. It must be a new elixir."
"Damn, that’s going to be tough."
"It’s extrely difficult to successfully refine a new type of elixir in such a short ti."
"I wonder if anyone will succeed. They’re not both going to fail, are they?"
When the people from the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance heard this, they couldn’t help but clench their fists, their hearts pounding with excitent. Hahahaha, it really is the Unworried Pill! We obtained this pill recipe a year ago!
Master Qingyou had been practicing refining the Unworried Pill for a year and was already highly proficient. Once he took the stage, he should be able to refine the Unworried Pill with ease.
It seed they had already won this competition.
Master Qingyou also had an air of confidence. If his opponent was Situ Hang, there was no way he could win. Situ Hang was only an early-stage Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master; with his skill, it would take him at least half a year to master the Unworried Pill. There was absolutely no way he could succeed in just ten days.
It would only be possible to refine the Unworried Pill in ten days if the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance had an even stronger, mid-stage Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master.
But does the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance have soone like that?
Qingyou glanced at the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance’s lineup opposite him and shook his head slightly. There wasn’t a single Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master in their ranks. In the end, they would still have to rely on Situ Hang.
In that case, the Sky Sun Alchemy Alliance was dood to lose.
