Chapter 1496: Chapter 1516: Am I Going to Compete for the Title of Pill King? _1

"Although Bloodthirsty Pill has a high grade, I believe everyone here can refine it. The real contest is the quality!"

"But why add other herbs? The Alchemist Association should know about the commonly accepted formula for the Bloodthirsty Pill, adding Skyfire Grass can enhance the efficacy of the medicine. Yet, they only provided a selection of herbs for us to choose from."

"When pills of the same quality are made, whoever knows to add Skyfire Grass would have substantially improved the quality of their pill and hence would be victorious. This could be considered a hidden assessment."

"I added it, you didn’t, so I won."

Zeng Tongxiu was stunned.

Adding ingredients to the Pill Prescription?

He knew about it - after all, Pill Prescriptions were figured out by alchemists, they didn’t represent a perfect state. There were always alchemists who continuously improved the Pill Prescription to refine a better medicine.

He never thought this would become a topic in the Pill King Competition, what’s worse, as an examination question!

Whoever knew, understood, and could refine it, held the advantage and was almost insurmountable!

He naively followed the original formula and refined for a long time. Finally, he found that what others were refining was a better version?

Who should be blamed for this?

Everyone was under the same assessment. If you didn’t know and others did, doesn’t it mean you are inferior?

Looking at the corpse of the Blood-crazed Dog on the ground and listening to Lin Chen’s words, Zeng Tongxiu’s mind was buzzing for a moment.

He lost!

He actually lost to Lin Chen!

The Pill Prescription he didn’t know, Lin Chen knew!

Zeng Tongxiu’s mind was blank. Looking at Lin Chen’s face, even Lin Chen’s voice seemed to fluctuate between far and near. He even felt dizzy.

He always believed himself to be unparalleled in alchemy techniques. Regardless of the older generation, among the younger generation, he was definitely the best. But now, his confidence was directly trampled into the mud.

The person who defeated him was the one he least wanted to lose to.

Because Lin Chen defeated him in a fight, and now, he also won in alchemy...

Double humiliation!

Zeng Tongxiu clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his palm.

Shame!

Utter shame!

He wished he could turn back time to before he met Lin Chen, and he would definitely stop his junior sister from saying, "I’ll take the hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones".

All the grudges and arrogant pride were trampled into pieces at this moment because of that one sentence.

Can’t win a fight, can’t win at alchemy...

Then what is he proud of?

Is he just a frog in a well?

Is he arrogantly self-centered?

Is he overestimating his own abilities?

Zeng Tongxiu’s face turned red with surging blood. Looking at Lin Chen who had a calm face and even a smile. The surging blood seemed to be even more ferocious.

"You won!"

Zeng Tongxiu said this and then he turned and left the arena directly.

The competition process isn’t over yet, but for Zeng Tongxiu, everything else is already unimportant.

He just wanted to get as far away as possible from this place that has left him utterly disgraced.

Lin Chen, watching Zeng Tongxiu’s back, remained calm.

Although he won over Zeng Tongxiu, his victory was not because of his own abilities, but because of the insight of Elixir King Ouyang Jing.

Adding Skyfire Grass was taught by Ouyang Jing. Otherwise, how would he know to add Skyfire Grass?

Just comparing their skills in alchemy, Lin Chen didn’t think he was much better than Zeng Tongxiu.

Zeng Tongxiu is Heaven’s Chosen, he has been refining for many years. How long has Lin Chen been doing it?

Five years!

The time that Zeng Tongxiu has spent on alchemy is at least several times more than Lin Chen. If it were a pure skill competition, Lin Chen might not necessarily be able to defeat Zeng Tongxiu.

It’s all about luck!

How unfortunate Zeng Tongxiu is...

Even though Lin Chen was lamenting, he wouldn’t sympathize with Zeng Tongxiu because of that.

We’re enemies, why should I pity him?

Not stepping on him already considers me thoroughly benevolent and righteous.

The competition has ended.

Lin Chen won smoothly and will compete with the winner of the other group for the championship, which means the King of this Pill King Competition!

The highest Pill King!

Even Lin Chen himself was a bit surprised, as he had somehow made it to the finals!

If he wins again, wouldn’t that mean he succeeded?

He would become the Pill King of this year?

This is a bit exaggerated!

When Lin Chen came, he had the audacity to hope, but he never thought it would become a reality. Now that he was about to step onto the decisive stage, Lin Chen felt like he was dreaming.

Am I this good?

Am I on par with the Pill King?

Although senior Ouyang always praised me, I’ve always thought that I’m not that impressive. After all, I’ve only dedicated five years to learning alchemy seriously, right?

This is a bit unexpected!

Lin Chen looked at his final opponent, the white-haired, renowned alchemy master Gu Zhengyu.

Gu Zhengyu was Supreme Elder of the Greenblood Sect, a large alchemy sect. A renowned alchemist in the entire Cloud Sky Continent, he has been famous for thousands of years.

Am I really going to compete for the title of the King of Elixir with such a master?

Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?
