To Ye Tian's surprise, the burly man with the thick beard had the unexpected name Hai Wuyai.
However, he might not necessarily be able to defeat Gu Nishang.
This girl is exceptionally talented. It can be said that from the moment she embarked on the path of cultivation, everything she did was almost like having a cheat code.
First, he cultivated across several realms, and dared to skip a certain realm even when he was unhappy.
She had only been practicing alchemy for a short time. However, firstly, she possessed a secret alchemy manual: the basic cultivation rules for junior cultivators. Secondly, thanks to her own cultivation level, she progressed rapidly, as if riding a rocket.
It keeps getting higher and higher.
The duel between this bearded man and her is now a spectacular heavyweight showdown.
Hai Wuyai still had a full beard, and his voice was rough and resonant, extremely bold as he said, "I am Hai Wuyai of the Jiangtao Sect. I'm too lazy for all this formality. Let's begin."
Ye Tian broke out in a cold sweat. This rugged Hai Wuyai was still a bit reserved when it came to women, otherwise he would have said, "Grandpa, it's me."
Gu Nishang was even colder, and with a furrowed brow, she said, "Gu Nishang, let's begin."
The two then left each other alone.
Anyone who makes it into the top 100 goes through the same competition process.
They each refined their own elixirs, competing to see which was the best.
When watching a match, the first thing people notice is their style and demeanor.
Although Ye Tian's match with Chen Jianghua was the subject of much discussion, to be honest, he had quite a presence. It was just that his temper caused some strange thoughts among the onlookers.
Now we'll see if Gu Nishang has the right attitude.
In the basic alchemy rules for junior cultivators, those below the Medicine King level...
The Grand Pharmacist's realm utilizes mortal fire. Every sip and bite, every movement and stillness, must be utterly steady, as if bearing the weight of the universe's great principles.
Gu Nishang's expression showed no sign of panic; her coldness and determination were frightening.
It was simply a matter of following the procedure step by step. First, the cauldron was set up, then a fire was started, and the temperature of the fire was controlled by adjusting the amount of spiritual energy.
Although it is a basic movement, it is performed almost like the Tao.
The onlookers, who hadn't yet grasped the incredible skill in Ye Tian's movements, were now stunned by Gu Nishang's feat.
Not bad!
This woman's foundation is so solid it's almost frightening.
Then consider Wuchen Daoren, the sect leader of the Ruthless Sect, who also defeated Chen Jianghua.
Outsiders might doubt that Chen Jianghua was faking it. But the locals all believe that Wuchen Daoren defeated Chen Jianghua with genuine skill.
Not far away.
In the empty pavilion, Su Li stood with his hands behind his back, watching the two fighting on the arena. He said with a smile, "Is this woman the disciple of the sect leader?"
Chen Jianghua nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
Su Li looked her up and down and commented with interest: "This woman's spiritual energy is like that of an ancient magpie, and her alchemy skills are like those of a peacock dancing gracefully. Such talent is truly enviable."
“Master’s talent is even greater than hers, so what is there to envy?” Chen Jianghua couldn’t help but ask.
“Who said I envy her? I envy her master for having such a disciple,” Su Li said with regret.
Chen Jianghua's forehead creased with annoyance. This was a blatant mockery of his alchemy talent, which was inferior to that of the woman below the stage. However, it was also true that he was no match for her talent.
He made a sarcastic remark at Chen Jianghua.
Su Li patted him on the shoulder again, comforting him, "Jiang Hua, don't be discouraged. In the art of alchemy, talent only determines the lower limit, but what truly determines the upper limit is courage, opportunity, resources, and mindset."
"Any one of these can trap a person for half their life."
Chen Jianghua remained silent, his heart actually unmoved.
Su Li said so much, but he only thought it was embellishment.
"Look at this burly man with thick beard. He may seem stupid, but he is actually born with a unique insight and exceptional intelligence. He must have his own special characteristics when it comes to alchemy. If this woman wants to surpass him, she will need to put in a few more years of effort."
Su Li, being far away, pointed to the burly man with the thick beard.
Hai Wuyai also lived, but he did not use ordinary fire, nor qi fire, nor thunder fire.
Instead, the gourd was placed on the ground, and this seemingly flat and round gourd stood quite steadily. Strangely, however, the burly man placed the cauldron directly on the mouth of the gourd.
Use a gourd to start a fire.
This fire can be called material fire.
All things contain fire. By using the fire of all things to refine elixirs, one can obtain certain special properties. This person must be an unorthodox practitioner, and certainly more than just an unorthodox practitioner.
The Jiangtao Sect, which no one has ever heard of, probably has a powerful figure in charge.
The wildfire inside the gourd burned the alchemy furnace with immense force.
a long time.
Su Li sighed and said, "In this alchemy competition, all sorts of people have emerged, each with their own unique skills. It seems that the path of alchemy is not declining, but rather becoming more and more prosperous."
Only Chen Jianghua stared intently at the gourd, seemingly lost in thought.
Chen Jianghua asked, "Master, could this fire be from that person from back then?"
Su Li chuckled and said, "Besides this person, who else could it be? But it's all in the past, and that's that. He and I are long gone, buried in the dust of time. Even if this bearded man defeats Gu Nishang, can he defeat Wuchen Daoren? Even if he defeats Wuchen Daoren, can he defeat your junior brother?"
"You've been holding onto these old, trivial matters for so long, and now you want to train a disciple to win first place just to provoke me?"
"This is certainly not the behavior of a gentleman," Chen Jianghua sighed.
"No, what I mean is, if he had even a shred of self-awareness, he would understand. He is no match for me at all. I couldn't even beat him in alchemy back then, let alone in teaching disciples."
Su Li smiled faintly, his words full of humility, but in his heart he was extremely arrogant.
Chen Jianghua was utterly helpless.
Su Li added, "I've already bet on this bearded man to win, a thousand taels of silver. When the results of the competition come out, you'll have to go and collect it for me. If I go myself, it will be too high-profile."
"Forget it, you don't need to go either. Send your junior brother instead."
Su Li added, "Completely lacking in the demeanor of a superior being." But if someone asked him, he would surely reply, "To hell with the demeanor of a superior being."
The audience.
Both of them had already produced the elixir from the furnace.
There was only one pill.
Very few people would bring out ten pills during the competition; most people would bring out one pill to have someone verify its efficacy.
After verification by the referee.
In the overall evaluation, Hai Wuyai defeated Gu Nishang by a significant margin.
pity.
Ye Tian sighed inwardly; Gu Nishang's class was quite good.
At the level of a Grand Pharmacist, if he hadn't encountered the bearded man, he probably would still have been able to put up a fight.
This boundless sea is of such a high level that it has reached the realm of the Medicine King.
The superior quality of the medicine completely overwhelmed Gu Ni Chang, leaving her no chance to gain points by using fewer impurities.
Ye Tian chuckled and comforted him, "It's alright, losing to this person is not unjust."
