"What stakes do you want?" Chu Nan asked.
Zhang Baitian sneered and casually pointed at Lin Yian, saying, "If you lose, I want Lin Yian to marry !"
Upon hearing this, Chu Nan’s face imdiately darkened. He said coldly, "I, Chu Nan, have no right to use soone else as a bet. You’d better change your condition."
"Are you scared? If you’re scared, crawl under my legs!" Zhang Baitian said arrogantly, looking down on Chu Nan.
At this mont, Lin Yian suddenly spoke, "Zhang Baitian, I agree to your condition!"
Chu Nan was shocked to hear this and looked at Lin Yian, "Lin Yian, this..."
"It’s okay," Lin Yian smiled and said, "Chu Nan, I believe the victory will be yours!"
Seeing Lin Yian’s belief in him, Chu Nan naturally couldn’t object.
Then Lin Yian turned to Zhang Baitian and said, "Zhang Baitian, what can you offer if you lose? You can’t expect to win sothing for nothing, right?"
Zhang Baitian looked thoughtful; he knew that ordinary items were unworthy of this gamble, so he smacked his storage bag, and ten milky white Yuan stones appeared on his palm.
The mont the Yuan stones appeared, everyone’s eyes were fixed on them. Even Yang Wheel Martial Artists in Cyan Profound Mansion had little of this, yet Zhang Baitian took out ten at once.
Chu Nan was also a bit surprised and felt tempted by the ten Yuan stones.
He currently had forty Yuan stones, but you could never have too many of these. So he nodded and said, "Alright, let’s bet on these ten Yuan stones."
Zhang Baitian showed a look of anticipation. Although the ten Yuan stones were a huge fortune for him, they were nothing compared to getting Lin Yian. Besides, he was confident he could easily defeat Chu Nan.
"Since you agreed, let’s begin."
"We will see whose elixir grade is higher and more effective."
Chu Nan had no objections. This was generally how alchemist contests went. But there was another problem at hand now.
He looked at Lin Yian and said, "Lin Yian, do you have an alchemy furnace?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yian was slightly taken aback, and Zhang Baitian was even more astonished.
Xie Long laughed, "Without even an alchemy furnace, you dare to compete with Brother Zhang in alchemy, it’s laughable!"
Others shook their heads helplessly, thinking Chu Nan really overestimated himself. They couldn’t figure out if Chu Nan was here to help Lin Yian or to drag her down.
"I have one, but it’s of low grade, just an upper-grade Mortal Martial furnace," Lin Yian said, taking out an earth-yellow alchemy furnace.
Chu Nan took the furnace and smiled, "A Mortal tier furnace, it’s enough."
After completing the first stage of ’Ten Thousand Transformations Return to Origin’, he could already use the Martial Wheel to refine third-grade elixirs.
However, using a Martial Wheel to refine elixirs was too shocking, so Chu Nan chose to use an alchemy furnace to conceal his ability.
Seeing this, Zhang Baitian grew even more confident. He patted his storage bag and took out a fiery red Dragon Pattern Pill Furnace, exuding the aura of a top-grade Spirit Martial.
The crowd was stunned upon seeing it, "That’s the Dragon Pattern Roaring Fire Furnace, comparable to a top-grade Spirit Martial, but being a furnace makes it far more precious."
"This furnace was excavated from so ruins, causing a huge sensation at Cyan Profound Mansion, but it quickly disappeared. Turns out, it ended up in Zhang Baitian’s hands."
"Zhang Baitian is already the best among second-grade alchemists. With this furnace, he might refine third-grade elixirs!"
Hearing everyone’s praise, Zhang Baitian was very proud and sarcastically said to Chu Nan, "If you lack alchemy materials, I can lend you so."
It seed generous but was actually mockery.
Chu Nan waved a hand, and a Yuan stone fell into his palm: "That won’t be necessary, let’s refine."
Seeing Chu Nan not taking out herbs, but instead a precious Yuan stone, soone was shocked, "Chu Nan, is he going to refine that type of pill?"
"Yuan Saint Pill, yes, it’s definitely Yuan Saint Pill, sothing only third-grade alchemists dare attempt. Could it be Chu Nan is already a third-grade alchemist?"
"That’s impossible, he must be bluffing!"
The Yuan Saint Pill is made from Yuan stones without mixing anything else.
Though Yuan stones contain precious energy to aid Martial Artists in cultivation, they also have a lot of impurities, making them troubleso to remove.
Thus, a purification thod was developed, refining Yuan stones by alchemy to turn them into Yuan Saint Pills free of impurities.
It’s easier said than done, as the energy within Yuan stones is so powerful that the furnace can explode easily during the process. Though it’s a third-grade pill, usually only Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artists can refine it on a large scale.
Yet Chu Nan wants to try refining a Yuan Saint Pill at the Yang Wheel level, truly overestimating himself.
Zhang Baitian slightly frowned on witnessing this: "Bluffing, wait for your furnace to explode!"
"You’ll know soon enough if it will explode," Chu Nan looked at Zhang Baitian, refusing to back down.
Soon, the crowd cleared a space for their alchemy, and Chu Nan and Zhang Baitian each occupied a corner to begin refining.
Lin Yian encouraged Chu Nan, "Chu Nan, I believe in you. Defeat Zhang Baitian thoroughly!"
Zhang Baitian laughed, "Lin Yian, I suggest you prepare to beco part of my Zhang family."
He laughed loudly and began placing herbs and spirit plants into the furnace to refine elixirs.
The Dragon Pattern Roaring Fire Furnace automatically ignited a sky-high fla, with the aroma of herbs spreading throughout the hall.
"This is... Brother Zhang is also refining a third-grade elixir."
"With Brother Zhang’s skills and this Dragon Pattern Roaring Fire Furnace, refining a third-grade elixir is no problem!"
"Watch Chu Nan disgrace himself... hahaha~"
Chu Nan ignored the crowd’s mockery, suspending the alchemy furnace in mid-air, throwing in the Yuan stone.
Nine large Martial Wheels appeared behind, filling the area with a subtle pressure.
The Fla Martial Wheel emitted radiant light as Chu Nan sparked a fire in his palm, starting to refine the Yuan Saint Pill.
Since Chu Nan hadn’t refined the Pill Fire, he could only substitute it with fla spiritual power from the Martial Wheel. With aid from other Martial Wheels, he was confident he could refine the Yuan Saint Pill!
On Zhang Baitian’s side, he indeed had so skill in the Alchemy Dao, losing all sense of the outside world since he began. He efficiently placed herbs and spirit plants, turning them into dicinal liquid, with movents so fluid and flawless.
Clearly only a second-grade alchemist, but exhibiting strength no less than a third-grade alchemist.
An entire hour passed, and the rich aroma of dicine began spreading all around. Zhang Baitian’s eyes flashed sharply, and he shouted fiercely, "Open!"
Upon the word, the furnace automatically opened, and a still warm green elixir fell into his palm.
"Third-grade Grass Cloud Pill, it’s done!" Zhang Baitian’s eyes shone with excitent. The Grass Cloud Pill is a healing elixir and, despite being the lowest tier of third-grade elixirs, it was his first successful third-grade elixir.
Every gaze turned to Zhang Baitian, filled with admiration. Zhang Baitian being able to refine a third-grade elixir under thirty made a sensation in the whole Cyan Profound Mansion!
