Competition (4)

After a while, the red mist gradually dissipated.

Jia Chan slapped the pill furnace, and dozens of medicine pills rose from the pill furnace immediately.

Jia Chan had been prepared for a long time, and took out a white jade plate with the other hand, put dozens of pills on the plate, and then calmly put the whole plate of pills on the table.

The pill refiners stared at the pills on the white jade plate, all dumbfounded.

“This… these are ninety-three energy restoration pills? They were made in just one furnace?”

The contempt on Wu Jian’s face had long since disappeared, replaced by shock.

Generally speaking, although Energy Restoration Pills are of low grade, due to their single and pure effect, the number of pills in a batch of furnace is often less than ten. And Jia Chan refined nearly a hundred of them in one refining, which was beyond their imagination.

Wei Yongshou sniffed it with his nose, then frowned and said, “The potency of this medicine is so weak, I’m afraid the effect of the refined pills won’t be much better, right?”

Hearing this, the other master alchemists nodded in unison.

However, Jia Chan smiled lightly and said, “The potency of this Energy Restoration Pill is about two-thirds of the normal version, and it is mild in nature. It is suitable for the Foundation Establishment realm and below cultivators. Seniors will know it once they taste it.”

Hearing this, the master alchemists present all showed surprise on their faces. They stepped forward one after another, grabbed an Energy Restoration Pill from the white jade plate, took it, and closed their eyes to experience it carefully.

After a while, Kong Jue opened his eyes first, and said in surprise, “The potency of the medicine is indeed two-thirds of that of ordinary Energy Restoration Pills, and the quality is high! Miss Jia, how did you do it?”

Jia Chan sighed and said, “This junior is ashamed to say that she was able to do this thanks to the Nine Heavens Fire gifted by Feng Shao, the city lord of Wuling City. This fire can not only dissolve the medicinal materials quickly, but also lock it firmly. Based on this, junior was able to divide the power of a batch of medicine accurately. But reducing it to two-thirds is already this junior’s limit. However, this junior feels that if she practices more, she may be able to further reduce the power of the medicine.”

Kong Jue said with emotion, “I didn’t expect that the Nine Heavens Fire would have such an effect, I have been taught!”

As he spoke, Kong Jue bowed deeply to Jia Chan to show respect.

Chu Qing on the other side finally refined a furnace of Medicine Pill. He also put the Energy Restoration Pills on a white jade plate, then put the white jade plate on the table, and said to the master alchemists, “Seniors, please taste the Energy Restoration Pill refined by this junior!”

Chu Qing had strong confidence on his face, but there were only twelve pills lying quietly on his white jade plate.

The pills refined by Chu Qing are filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, and one only needs to smell it to know that the medicinal power is extraordinary. The alchemists picked up a pill one after another, and after a while, they frowned in unison.

It was Kong Jue who spoke first. Kong Jue said slowly, “The Energy Restoration Pill refined by Chu Qing is about twice as powerful as ordinary Energy Restoration Pills. Although the quality is flawed, it can still be classified as top-grade.”

When Chu Qing heard this, a look of arrogance appeared on his face.

Wu Jian and Wei Yongshou glanced at Chu Qing with complicated expressions, and then at Qin Tianshu, showing hesitation.

Kong Jue said at this time, “Everyone, it should be obvious who wins and who loses?”

The master alchemists nodded slowly.

Kong Jue smiled, looked at Jia Chan, and said, “Congratulations, Miss Jia, you have won this game.”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Qing’s expression changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but roar, “Why did she win? One of my Energy Restoration Pills can match three of hers, how can it not compare to her?”

Chu Qing’s words made the master alchemists frown involuntarily. They looked at Chu Qing in puzzlement, as if they wanted to ask why Chu Qing asked such a naive question.

But before the master alchemists could speak, Xiao Ruoyao smiled and said, “Old man Qin, it’s up to you to tell this good friend of yours, he doesn’t even know where he lost.”

Qin Tianshu’s expression was a little ugly, but Xiao Ruoyao publicly called him by name, so he had no choice but to say, “Little friend Chu, in this round, it is indeed hall master Jia who won.”

Chu Qing looked at him in disbelief, “How is this possible? The medicine pill I refined is so effective, why can’t it compare to hers?”

Qin Tianshu sighed, and said slowly: “Little friend Chu, do you still remember who these Energy Restoration Pills were for?”

Chu Qing frowned, and asked in confusion, “Isn’t it just for a cultivator?”

Xiao Ruoyao let out a laugh. She clapped her hands and said with a smile to Qin Tianshu, “Old man Qin, old man Qin, your vision is really amazing! I have never seen many characters like this in my life.”

Chu Qing also heard the sarcasm in Xiao Ruoyao’s tone, and his face flushed with anger. Fortunately, the lost right eye firmly grabbed his reason, preventing him from getting angry at Xiao Ruoyao.

He suppressed his voice and asked hoarsely, “Is there anything wrong with my answer?”

Qin Tianshu said helplessly, “Chu Xiaoyou, this Energy Restoration Pill is usually given to Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, in order to pass the ‘Three Thresholds of Foundation Establishment’ smoothly. However, ordinary Energy Restoration Pills are often used because the drug effect is too violent. Therefore, before being taken by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, one must rest for a few days, and when taking it, one must swallow it with wine to slow down the onset of the effect. But even so, there are often cultivators who cannot bear the effects of the Energy Restoration Pills. The seven orifices bleed due to the effect of the medicine, what’s more, the meridians will be cut off, the foundation will be destroyed, and there will be no hope of cultivating in this life.”
