Chapter 1498: Chapter 1518: You, a man, can actually refine the Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill?_1

"This rule is so unfair, who set the question? Is it biased towards Gu Zhengyu?"

In the audience, Yao Xuanji stomped his foot with a huffing tone, which was quite upset.

Anyone could see Lin Chen’s youth. If he were to compete with an immortal who was thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, who could refine more elixirs, wouldn’t it be a setup for him to lose?

This is bullying!

Lei Zhenxiu tried to console, "Lin Chen seems to be calm, perhaps he has a way to handle it."

"Humph!"

Yao Xuanji muttered discontentedly, "If he loses, I’ll have to ask who set the question, so I can apologise directly!"

Lei Zhenxiu forced a smile, casting a glance at Zhong Quan.

Zhong Quan smiled without saying a word.

"The first round begins, please both sides present the first question!"

Two staffers picked up the first of the three pieces of paper on the tray in front of each of them, opened them, and then affixed them to the wooden board hanging next to them.

"Gu Zhengyu, Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill."

"Lin Chen, Tai Su Ointment."

As the names were announced, the audience broke into discussion.

"Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill may not be a high-grade one, but because of the variety of raw materials, the difficulty of refining is high and there cannot be a slight mistake. Moreover, this medicinal pill is usually taken by women during special periods, so who would bother to refine such a medicinal pill?"

"Gu Zhengyu is making it hard on Lin Chen by selecting the Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill. There are few alchemists who would waste a lot of energy to refine this extremely difficult but relatively useless medicinal pill. Lin Chen, being so young, would definitely not know how to refine it."

"Tai Su Ointment! Lin Chen has actually chosen Tai Su Ointment as the topic, isn’t this too exaggerated? Does he know how to refine it?"

"The person asking the question needs to know how to refine the pill they are asking about. By choosing Tai Su Ointment as the topic, isn’t Lin Chen saying that he knows how to refine it?"

"Impossible! The difficulty of refining Tai Su Ointment is extremely high, even the top alchemists on the continent could hardly control the precise changes of the herbal ingredients in the furnace. Numerous people have tried to refine Tai Su Ointment, but all ended in failure. Even if someone had luck and occasionally succeeded, it would be absolutely non-reproducible good luck..."

On the race course, Gu Zhengyu’s originally confident face changed slightly.

"Friend Lin, don’t forget the rules of the questions. You can use the pill that you can refine as the question to assess me..."

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "I know."

Gu Zhengyu wore a look of disbelief on his face: "Can you refine Tai Su Ointment?"

Lin Chen remained calm: "Yes, otherwise how could I use it as a question?"

Gu Zhengyu gritted his teeth: "Even if I fail to refine it, if you want to win, you have to prove that you can refine it. Otherwise, anyone can just talk!"

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Of course."

Gu Zhengyu’s heart sank. Did Lin Chen really know how to refine it?

Impossible!

Gu Zhengyu has tried countless methods around the whole continent, but still hasn’t found an effective method to refine Tai Su Ointment. How could Lin Chen do it?

Does he have some kind of top-notch secret technique?

There’s no way that the Baihe Immortal Sect could produce such a level of alchemist, who did he learn the alchemy from?

Gu Zhengyu contained his mind and changed the subject: "I might have been a little unfair with my Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill, it is a bit difficult. But the grade of the medicinal pill is not high, almost all alchemists have access to it. I’m sure friend Lin would be able to refine it, right?"

Lin Chen laughingly answered: "Yes."

With just a word, it seemed like a heavy hammer had fallen on Gu Zhengyu’s heart, causing him a moment of panic.

Could Lin Chen really refine the Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill?

Isn’t this medicinal pill usually only refined by some female alchemists who spare no effort and energy to learn?

Why would you, as a man, be able to refine the Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill?

That’s ridiculous!

Why is Gu Zhengyu panicking?

Not only because Lin Chen knows how to refine the Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill, but he also doesn’t know how to refine the Tai Su Ointment!

His control in refining pills wasn’t precise enough!

Not that he didn’t try, but not once was he successful!

He had tried all kinds of methods, but they all had ended in failure!

He never would have thought that Lin Chen would actually use Tai Su Ointment as the question. After a long silence, he had someone prepare the herbs and get ready to refine the ointment, anyway.

No matter what, he had to give it a try.

What if he succeeded this time?

As Gu Zhengyu started to refine Tai Su Ointment with a heart full of despair, Lin Chen had already written down the pill prescription, according to which people had prepared the medicinal herbs, then he started refining.

The audience was full of discussion, and for a moment, no one could judge who would win or lose.

Ordinary cultivators were watching with great interest, while alchemists were staring at the two people’s refining methods with sparkling eyes, completely absorbed in the process.

Although many techniques were impossible to fully understand, some sort of comprehension could always be gained by observing their refining processes.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, everyone’s eyes turned and saw the lid of the furnace in front of Gu Zhengyu flying high, with smoke and fire rushing out of the mouth of the furnace.

The furnace exploded!

Gu Zhengyu failed to refine Tai Su Ointment!

Everyone looked at this scene with amazement in their eyes, then their eyes unanimously fell onto Lin Chen on the other side.

Lin Chen was operating the Pill Fire, calm and serious, keeping his heart clear of distractions.

The audience looked at each other.

Did it look like Lin Chen was really capable of making the Hundred Flowers Clear-Heart Pill?
