“Liu Manpo, your opponent for the alchemy battle is me. It has nothing to do with this lady. I’ll accept this alchemy battle. Let this lady go.”
“Yo! Even a dog like you dares to step out to save the beauty? Ye Zhuixun, looks like I’ve really underestimated you.” A tinge of mockery appeared on the fatty’s oily face. “But I’m interested in the little beauty now. As for you, get lost!”
Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes, and a strange light flashed past her eyes. She looked at Ye Zhuixun and asked, “Are you certain that you want to take action?”
Ye Zhuixun nodded. His expression turned cold as his usual confidence returned. He provokingly said, “Why? Liu Manpo, you don’t dare to? Could it be that you’re afraid of losing to me, and that you’re not even comparable to the dog you’ve mentioned in the end?”
“You! Ye Zhuixun!” The fatty could not hold back his anger. With a vicious tone, he said, “You want to seek death so badly? Alright! I’ll grant your wish! I’ll battle with you!”
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ye Zhuixun. She then retreated a few steps and let Ye Zhuixun take on the fatty.
Ye Zhuixun had also attracted the attention of all the people in the entire place.
“This person called Ye Zhuixun was hesitant and did not dare to accept the alchemy battle earlier. His alchemy skills shouldn’t be so good…”
“Exactly. He’ll definitely lose in this alchemy battle!”
“If he could win, he would’ve accepted it earlier. Why would he wait until now?”
“He’s acting now because of that lady wearing the mask? Alas, he’s really a good fellow! It’s a pity that he’s going to die soon!”
In contrast with the crowd’s expressions, Lou Qianxue’s clear and beautiful eyes were filled with calmness.
She had a lot of confidence in Ye Zhuixun.
Soon, the fatty and Ye Zhuixun decided on the second-grade Blood Coagulation pill for the alchemy battle.
Thereafter, they started to refine the pill.
The two of them respectively took out their pill cauldrons.
The fatty’s pill cauldron was obviously good, whereas Ye Zhuixun’s pill cauldron was a general one from the market.
Moreover, the fatty’s technique was pure. He tempered the medicinal herbs one by one. As his actions were natural and smooth, they attracted waves of exclamations.
“He’s indeed a third-grade alchemist. Impressive!”
“Looks like he’s definitely an alchemy genius!”
“He looks to be in the prime of his life, and he’s already a third-grade alchemist. He’s really outstanding!”
“Exactly.”
On the other side, Ye Zhuixun was also following the rules as he seriously refined the pill step by step.
Time slowly passed.
Half an hour passed…
A strong medicinal fragrance permeated the surroundings and attracted more onlookers.
Suddenly!
Buzz! Buzz!
Two pill cauldrons shook at the same time.
Every person in the crowd looked on in shock. “Core formation! They have started on the core formation!”
“Lifting the cover of the pill cauldron! That third-grade alchemist is lifting the cover of the pill cauldron. Quick, take a look at his pill!”
“Smells so fragrant! Such a fragrant Blood Coagulation pill should have at least 40 percent purity? He’s indeed a third-grade alchemist. He’s quick in alchemy, and the quality is good! He’s really someone a normal person can’t compare to.”
“With this standard, he might get the top three position even at the Alchemy Competition!”
Everyone stared at the fatty’s pill cauldron with amazed expressions.
At that moment…
A strong smell of blood suddenly drifted over.
The crowd was shocked. “Huh? What’s the situation? Such a strong smell of blood? Who is injured?”
“No… No! It’s the pill! It’s the pill… That fellow called Ye Zhuixun is also lifting the cover of his cauldron!”
“Oh gosh, what kind of pill did he refine? Why does it smell so bad? There’s no medicinal fragrance at all?’
“Did he ruin it?”
Upon seeing this, the fatty disdainfully looked at Ye Zhuixun and mocked him. “You don’t even know how to refine the Blood Coagulation pill, and you still dare to call yourself an alchemist? Ye Zhuixun, you’ve lost. Kill yourself!”
