"Haha! Unbelievable! Actually picked five kinds of low-rank materials."
Liu Xiang had already chosen his materials and couldn't help but laugh: "Forget low-rank materials, these are five kinds that barely qualify as poor grade spiritual dicine!"
"Sigh..."
Muye also sighed.
He thought he would face two formidable opponents this ti, but it turned out there was only one, and that was Liu Xiang.
Xia Liu basically failed completely.
"Xia Liu, you..."
Old Zhuang didn't know what to say, Xia Liu had talent.
The failure was due to his lack of experience.
If given three more months, perhaps he could refine Mid-Level Pills.
After all, his Pill Fire was quite special.
"I don't know what to say, just do your best."
In the end, there was only a bitter smile and regret on Old Zhuang's face.
Qingdie remained silent, only expressing disappointnt towards Xia Liu.
The gap compared to the pharmacist she expected was huge.
Xia Liu didn't care about the eyes of the crowd.
After countless comparisons, he determined that the five materials he chose were the ones needed to refine a nearly High-Level Pill Restoring Pill.
Amidst several disappointed glances, Xia Liu's Divine Sense surged.
Suddenly, the dicinal cauldron gifted to him by Liu Xian'er appeared in the grand hall.
The phoenix spiraled around the cauldron, its gold-red color refreshing to behold.
The aura emitted by the cauldron astonished everyone.
"The quality of this cauldron is as expected, it should be Supre Grade!"
Old Zhuang exclaid in surprise.
"Supre Grade dicine Cauldron!"
Liu Xiang was also amazed.
The cauldron he used was among the best in Thousand chanisms City.
Yet its quality was rely Middle Grade.
The Liu Family didn't lack the ability to buy a Supre Grade dicine Cauldron.
It was because Supre Grade dicine Cauldrons were extrely rare.
Thousand chanisms City had only one Four-Grade dicine cauldron, belonging exclusively to the city's sole Four-Grade alchemist, Mo Wentian.
Mo Wentian resides in the City Lord's Mansion and holds a prestigious status.
As for the Supre Grade dicine Cauldron, few have ever seen it.
He generally used ordinary cauldrons for alchemy.
The Supre Grade Cauldron was only brought out during significant occasions, otherwise, it was kept treasured.
This shows how precious Supre Grade dicine Cauldrons are.
Yet Xia Liu, whose basic alchemy skills weren't even up to standard, could produce a Supre Grade dicine Cauldron; what great energy was hidden behind him?
"Xia Liu, what are you hiding, able to bring out a Supre Grade dicine Cauldron!"
Qingdie straightforwardly asked.
"Pfft... What am I hiding? I don't understand at all what you're saying, this cauldron was given to
by my ntor before leaving..."
Liu Xian'er taught him to beco an alchemist, qualifying as his ntor.
Before today, Xia Liu truly didn't know the cauldron's quality.
Even if he knew it was Supre Grade, he wasn't greatly moved.
After all, he didn't know its value…
"Your ntor actually gifted you a Supre Grade dicine Cauldron!"
Upon learning, everyone was speechless.
The word 'fearso' appeared in their minds.
Fearso wasn't Xia Liu, but his ntor; gifting a Supre Grade dicine Cauldron was terrifying!
"Tsk tsk, a fine blade given to a waste, this world is still very fair."
Liu Xiang didn't harbor much jealousy, as Xia Liu's alchemy experience greatly lagged behind his own.
Even given a Supre-Grade dicine Cauldron, he wouldn't be able to refine pills.
No need to be envious of such trash.
"Sigh, since you have a Supre-Grade dicine Cauldron, focus on refining..."
Old Zhuang sighed deeply; Xia Liu started too early.
If his ntor could produce a Supre-Grade dicine Cauldron, his alchemy skills must be extraordinary; if Xia Liu were consistently guided, his future accomplishnts would be considerable.
Sadly, alas...
With a smile and nod from Old Zhuang, Xia Liu began refining pills.
Apart from Old Zhuang, no one paid more attention to Xia Liu.
Such trash didn't deserve their attention.
Qingdie also didn't pay attention.
She was deeply disappointed with Xia Liu.
Her mind continuously pondered how to tactfully reject Liu Xiang when he claid victory later…
Xia Liu naturally proceeded with alchemy preparations.
First, warming the cauldron with Pill Fire.
Feeling the timing was right, the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire erupted, displaying golden flas at the material and fire entry points.
When the ti ca, Xia Liu threw all five materials into the cauldron.
Xia Liu recalled, the successful pill he refined was done slowly.
Thus, he didn't increase the fla intensity.
Instead, he let the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire refine the materials at extrely low heat.
No one dared to use divine sense to spy inside Xia Liu's cauldron.
His Pill Fire's intensity was extrely fearso.
Divine sense contact could cause frightening consequences.
Even the thirteenth-layer Qi Cultivation practitioner, Old Zhuang, didn't dare.
About thirty minutes later, the cauldron in front of Liu Xiang lost its luster and turned black.
A waft of dicinal fragrance emanated from it.
"He actually refined pills!"
Muye and another's extensive alchemy experience was evident.
Seeing this scene, slling that faint fragrance, they understood they were outmatched in refining speed by Liu Xiang.
They still needed at least five minutes to condense the materials into pills.
Although pressured, they weren't anxious.
This contest was about pill quality.
If Liu Xiang's pills were inferior, speed didn't matter.
However, the result disappointed Muye and the other competitor.
Old Zhuang checked Liu Xiang's pills; the verdict was they were Mid-Level High-Second Grade, fairly decent.
If they reached High-Level, it would be perfect.
Yet the term Mid-Level made Muye and the other contender feel disheartened.
Refining High-Second Grade Pills was already comndable.
Aiming for Mid-Level quality would be a delusion, at least in the next two years they lacked confidence.
Thud thud...
With two muffled sounds, Muye and the other's cauldrons faded, the Pill Fire finally extinguished.
Except for a scorched sll, there was no dicinal fragrance inside their cauldrons.
Their results were both failures...
"Haha, as expected, you still have skill but were overly nervous."
Liu Xiang smiled faintly, his words full of consolation.
At this point, it was largely announced he was victorious.
Winners should have the arrogance and deanor of victors, comforting the competitors defeated by them was the essence of a winner.
The two said nothing, failure was failure, educated by Liu Xiang, regardless of right or wrong, they could only swallow their pride.
"Get it straight, kid, even if you refine for a year, you can't make High-Second Grade Pills with inferior materials..."
Liu Xiang turned his gaze, focusing on Xia Liu.
He no longer considered Xia Liu as a competitor at all.
Competing with soone lacking basic skills was self-degrading.
Sigh...
Just as Liu Xiang finished speaking, he was shocked to see the fla inside Xia Liu's cauldron start to dim…
