“Very good,” he said. The black-robed man looked at Ling Chuxi with a look of admiration in his eyes. He continued,”the method of the competition is still the same as before. First, you take a spiritual pill and prepare the pill formula and spiritual herbs. I will refine it. Then, I will also take out a spiritual pill and prepare the pill formula and spiritual herbs. You will refine it and decide the winner.”
“What if I succeed in refining them all?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“Then take the spirit pills and continue the competition until someone wins.”
The Man in Black said, then added,”however, 1 don’t think 1 can reach that step. My spiritual pills are not as easy to refine as you think.”
Gu Buzhi’s dejected face had indirectly proved her words.
“Alright, who’s going to start?” Now that things had come to this, Ling Chuxi could not be bothered to dawdle with her any longer and asked directly.
“You’re pretty straightforward, so I’ll let you take advantage of me. I’ll go first. ” The Man in Black said.
“Alright,” he said. Ling Chuxi nodded her head.
In a battle between experts, if one had the upper hand, they would have a higher chance of winning. The same logic applied in a competition of alchemy. First, one had to see the other party’s alchemy technique. Later, when she refined the spiritual pills that the other party took out, she would naturally have a reference. Since the other party was willing to let her take advantage of this, Ling Chuxi would not be polite.
This was a gamble of life … Although Ling Chuxi did not have the awareness to gamble her life and had long been mentally prepared to run away, it was too difficult to escape with Gu Buzhi. It was better to try her best to win if she could.
Ling Chuxi pondered for a moment before taking out a spiritual pill, followed by the pill formula and the corresponding spiritual herbs.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
This was a special grade spiritual infant pill, and it was also the highest grade spiritual pill that Ling Chuxi could take out. Even if she were to do it personally, it would be quite difficult to refine this spiritual pill.
Gu Buzhi’s eyes lit up when he saw the spiritual infant pill. He had also refined the spiritual infant pill before. He had wasted hundreds of portions of spiritual herbs and only succeeded in refining one pill. Moreover, the quality of the pill was only of medium grade, far inferior to the one Ling Chuxi had. Using this spirit pill to test the other party’s alchemy skills, as long as he lost, at least Ling Chuxi would be able to stand on an undefeatable position for this round.
“Good pill! It turns out that you’re not only skilled in alchemy, but you’re also an expert in it. ” The Man in Black’s eyes also lit up with excitement and joy.
Seeing such a gaze, Ling Chuxi could somewhat understand why the other party had to fight with his life when competing in alchemy. In this world, there were martial arts fanatics, Dharma fanatics, and also alchemy fanatics. The stronger the opponent, the more they could stimulate their potential.
However, other people were betting their lives on it, but she only wanted others to bet their lives on it. If she didn’t want to die, it would be a little too shameless. Thinking of this, Ling Chuxi once again felt a deep sense of contempt for this person.
“Let’s start. ” Ling Chuxi said.
The black-robed man was not in a hurry to act. He first picked up the spiritual infant pill that Ling Chuxi had personally refined and used his divine sense to study it carefully. Then, he picked up the pill formula that she had wxitten down and read it a few times in detail. He then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Ling Chuxi was too lazy to rush him. This was indeed the pill formula for the spiritual infant pill. She had not done anything to it. However, if she did not have the Golden core sect’s origin, the Li clan’s exquisite alchemy technique, the cold heart Spirit Fire that had evolved to the eighth level, and the Azure Spirit Fire, it would not be an easy task to refine the spiritual infant pill with this pill formula.
After a moment of contemplation, the black-robed man opened his eyes. With a wave of his hand, a pill furnace appeared in front of him.
This alchemy furnace was completely black and flashed with a cold luster unique to metal. It looked rough and ugly. From Ling Chuxi’s professional vision as an equipment refining master, even an apprentice who had just entered the sect would be able to refine an alchemy furnace with a snack more exquisite than this. Even the blacksmiths in the countryside who wielded hoes and Sickles would be able to create an alchemy furnace with a more decent appearance with some effort..
