Chen Tianwen finally understood what Envoy Cui meant. He probably wanted him to defeat King Qi Dan and embarrass King Qi Dan!
Although the feeling of being used as a tool made Chen Tianwen very uncomfortable.
However, if one were to do this, not only would it enhance one's prestige, but one could also obtain the recipe for the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill.
Chen Tianwen was also eager to know what kind of heaven-defying effects the top-grade Nine Revolutions Creation Pill would have.
With that in mind, Chen Tianwen readily accepted it, since he had long been somewhat displeased with Qi Danwang!
Alchemy is meant to cure diseases and save lives, but this King Qi used it to make a profit. He even established the King Qi's Palace and monopolized almost all the immortal pill resources in the entire Liufeng Domain.
The jeers from those around him grew louder and louder, leaving King Qi Dan in a difficult position.
It is believed that no alchemist could refuse the formula for the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill, and even if it meant sacrificing his reputation, King Qi Dan would not hesitate.
Having thought this through, King Qi Dan made up his mind and spoke to Envoy Cui:
"As for the alchemy skills of this old man and Mr. Chen, how should we compare them, in your opinion, Sage Cui?"
Envoy Cui gave a cold laugh and said:
"That's for sure. If the two of them refine the same elixir at the same time, whoever succeeds will be the more powerful one!"
King Qi Dan said dismissively:
"What if Mr. Chen and I both succeed in refining it?"
Envoy Cui smiled, glanced around, and said:
"That's easy to say. Whoever refines the elixir faster and produces the highest quality one will win!"
King Qi Dan nodded and said to Chen Tianwen:
"Mr. Chen, would you be interested in a contest?"
Chen Tianwen smiled, bowed slightly to King Qi Dan, and said:
"I dare not presume to challenge you, but I would like to ask King Qi Dan for some advice."
King Qi Dan snorted coldly and said to Envoy Cui:
"Then I'll trouble Envoy Cui to set the questions!"
Seeing that both of them had agreed, especially Chen Tianwen's confident demeanor, Envoy Cui also made up his mind and said:
"Since that's the case, then naturally we'll focus on the Nine-Turn Creation Pill. However, you two must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that you will not reveal the formula for the Nine-Turn Creation Pill!"
Qi Danwang and Chen Tianwen both nodded in agreement, which was also the rule in the alchemy world.
After all, if someone works hard to obtain a pill formula and then leaks it after you've refined the pills, who would dare to ask you to refine elixirs in the future?
King Qi Dan and Chen Tianwen both made a vow to Heaven, and only then did Envoy Cui feel at ease hand over the jade slip to them.
Envoy Cui set up a barrier around King Qi Dan and Chen Tianwen. The jade slip was unfolded, and King Qi Dan and Chen Tianwen began to carefully write down the pill formula.
Although the recipe for the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill only contains more than 30,000 kinds of immortal herbs, the high grade of the herbs and the complicated refining steps made Chen Tianwen frown upon seeing it.
The two spent three full hours studying the formula before confirming that they had completely memorized it, and then Envoy Cui took back the jade slip.
"Mr. Chen, we are going to the Xuanwu Secret Realm in twenty days! I wonder how long it will take you to refine this Nine Revolutions Creation Pill?"
Envoy Cui carefully transmitted his question to Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen gestured the number three to Envoy Cui. Envoy Cui was slightly taken aback, but then understood. He then loudly addressed the people present:
"Today, Qi Danwang and Mr. Chen have one day to prepare. Tomorrow, they will remain here, and the two will officially begin refining the elixir. We ask that everyone witness this: if they cannot successfully refine the elixir within four days, then they will be considered to have lost this contest!"
Cui Shengshi's words sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd.
Such a high-grade elixir would normally take several months to refine, which is perfectly normal.
But Envoy Cui only gave four days. Isn't that a bit too much to ask?
However, Cui Shengshi's words had already made it clear that no one could refute them, and at the same time, King Qidan's expression turned extremely ugly.
On the other hand, Chen Tianwen's expression showed slight surprise, because what Chen Tianwen meant was that he only needed three hours!
Therefore, Chen Tianwen was surprised that Envoy Cui needed four days.
This really can't be blamed on Envoy Cui, since it's common knowledge that refining elixirs takes several months.
Envoy Cui had also heard that Chen Tianwen could refine elixirs very quickly, but when Chen Tianwen held up three fingers, Envoy Cui was still surprised. He hadn't expected that Chen Tianwen could refine them in just three days, so to be on the safe side, Envoy Cui added another day.
After the bet was made, Envoy Cui assigned his four disciples to build a high platform for the competition, while Envoy Cui took Chen Tianwen to purchase immortal herbs.
Envoy Cui had already collected many immortal herbs, and now he was only missing some common immortal herbs, which were relatively easy to buy in Danwang City.
After returning to the Danwang Mansion, King Qi Dan went directly into the mansion's treasury and began selecting immortal herbs.
"Wang Gan, go and summon all the alchemists of the Pill King's Mansion right now. I'll assign them tasks!"
While selecting the medicinal herbs, King Qi Dan gave instructions to Wang Gan.
Wang Gan dared not delay and immediately went to make arrangements.
After all, refining a fifth-grade immortal pill within four days is absolutely beyond human capability.
It would be possible only by gathering a large number of alchemy masters to help refine the immortal herbs.
In less than an hour, Wang Gan had gathered all the alchemists in the Pill King's Mansion, a total of eight hundred alchemists, the lowest of whom were third-grade alchemists, and they were gathered in the backyard of the Pill King's Mansion.
Looking at the eight hundred alchemists gathered here, King Qi Dan felt a little more confident. With so many alchemists helping him, his chances of successfully refining the elixir were much greater.
King Qi Dan simply couldn't believe that Chen Tianwen could gather so many alchemists to help him.
Without hesitation, King Qi Dan began assigning tasks to each of these alchemists. Even though the competition wouldn't officially begin until tomorrow, King Qi Dan had already ordered them to start refining the immortal herbs.
Meanwhile, Chen Tianwen was leisurely strolling around the city.
Seeing Chen Tianwen's leisurely demeanor, Cui Shengshi felt a little nervous.
If Chen Tianwen fails to defeat King Qi Dan this time, then all of Cui Shengshi's plans will fall through.
Moreover, it inexplicably fueled King Qi Dan's arrogance, and as a result, Envoy Cui even gave King Qi Dan an extra recipe for the Nine-Turn Creation Pill.
So, with some concern, Envoy Cui said to Chen Tianwen:
"Mr. Chen, should we make some preparations in advance?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Tianwen smiled and said to Envoy Cui:
"Everything is ready now, we're just waiting for the war to begin tomorrow!"
