Chapter 680: Chapter 677: Time to Lend a Hand_1
Between the fourth-grade high stage and the fourth-grade perfect, there was an inherent gap. In addition, Wei Gang held the Treasure Furnace in his hand, which multiplied the formation of elixirs and their quantity, far surpassing Feng Qian. Naturally, Feng Qian wouldn’t have any chance of winning.
As for Yang Chen, his eyes could instantly appraise an alchemist’s level. As long as he observed someone’s alchemy techniques, he could immediately discern what kind of elixir they were refining. Moreover, that wasn’t even his limit. He could even estimate the amount of elixirs someone could refine and the final quality of their elixirs.
This was why he quickly knew the outcome, because he had already appraised the results of Feng Qian’s elixirs, along with Wei Gang’s. After comparing the two, Feng Qian’s results would only end in a miserable defeat.
The outcome was no different from what he had expected, there was no disparity at all.
In just less than half an hour’s time, the elixirs were already refined.
Wei Gang and Feng Qian, both revealed their products.
The referee beside them spoke, “Wei Gang, Feng Qian, you may uncover the Pill Furnace now!”
“No problem.” Wei Gang was brimming with confidence at this moment. He directly uncovered his Pill Furnace, revealing the elixir within.
As the elixir was revealed, an intense pill fragrance filled the air. This pill fragrance spread, and Wei Gang’s face showed a confident expression.
He glanced around, and soon after, the exclamation from the side sounded, “This is a Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixir, a top-grade elixir for enhancing one’s martial arts cultivation in the Origin Martial Realm. It’s only second to Yuanhe Liuyun Pill, in terms of upgrading powerful ones’ martial arts cultivation level at the Origin Martial Realm.”
“It’s actually a Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixir, this is a perfect fourth-grade pill!”
“It’s not right. Even with the Treasure Furnace, Wei Gang’s ability shouldn’t be enough to refine perfect fourth-grade pills. What is going on?”
Exclamations filled the air continuously.
Wei Gang’s face showed an even more confident expression while he immersed himself in the praise. He looked at the surprised and amazed people around him, feeling that their admiration was the best compliment he could receive.
Wei Gang was intoxicated by the praises. He smiled and said, “One Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixir isn’t enough. Humph, my level isn’t that simple. You all watch closely!”
The next moment, he poured out two more elixirs from his Pill Furnace.
These elixirs had the same quality and appearance as the Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixirs.
Wei Gang had actually refined three Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixirs in one furnace!
“This…!”
“Wei Gang’s alchemy level is so strong! With these three Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixirs, doesn’t that mean he could refine rank 5 elixirs?”
“Nonsense! Wei Gang has just refined three Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixirs, three perfect fourth-grade pills. He must have a certain chance of successfully refining rank 5 middle-grade elixirs!”
“Senior Brother Wei Gang is so amazing!”
“Senior Brother Wei Gang, I really admire you!”
Some disciples flattered him from the side, only feeding Wei Gang’s arrogance even more.
As he listened to their compliments, Wei Gang was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He was feeling somewhat haughty and had even forgotten the pain from being dealt with by Yang Chen earlier. Now, he looked at Yang Chen with an air of defiance, as if to tell him that he was the protagonist here!
Yang Chen didn’t expect Wei Gang to provoke him, and just kept his mouth shut, not providing any response.
Not getting a response from him made Wei Gang feel as if Yang Chen was afraid of him. He snorted arrogantly and then looked at Feng Qian, saying, “Junior Sister Feng Qian, why don’t you take out your elixir too? Don’t dawdle, do you have no confidence?”
Feng Qian’s beautiful face indeed lacked confidence at this moment.She gulped and glanced at the Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixir, exclaiming, “Impossible, Wei Gang, how could you have refined a Pure Yuan Wu Yang Elixir? Your alchemy level before was never like this!”
Wei Gang’s previous alchemy level was limited to refining middle-tier or high-tier fourth-grade elixirs at most.
Even with the help of a Treasure Furnace, refining a perfect fourth-grade pill was his limit, let alone refining three at once.
“Heh heh, actually, I have to thank the guests you invited. When my spirit was on the verge of collapse, I accidentally reached a higher level of understanding in alchemy. So, Junior Sister Feng Qian, don’t underestimate someone you haven’t seen for three days,” Wei Gang said mockingly.
Feng Qian’s body trembled. Had Wei Gang broken through in his alchemy level?
This was quite unexpected for Yang Chen.
It turned out that Wei Gang’s alchemy skills had broken through after he was captured and his spirit had collapsed, thinking he was done for.
Such things could happen, but he didn’t expect it to happen to Wei Gang.
“Junior Sister Feng Qian, enough with the chit-chat, time to show your pill,” Wei Gang said menacingly.
Feng Qian clenched her teeth and took out the elixir.
As soon as the Colorful Moon Chasing Cloud Elixir was revealed, the outcome of the match was clear.
The referee announced, “In the first round, Wei Gang wins! Feng Qian, you have been eliminated according to the rules, and you can step down now. Sect Leader, who will you send to compete next?”
Feng Qian was so angry that she stomped her feet, her heart filled with reluctance. However, according to the rules, she was indeed eliminated now.
With Feng Qian eliminated, Li Ruoxiang’s side was left with only four people.
Li Ruoxiang’s brows furrowed, her expression serious at this time.
“Sect Leader, what should we do? Apart from Yun Er, Feng Qian was our best alchemist. If she lost, the other disciples simply won’t be able to handle Wei Gang,” the Elder beside Li Ruoxiang said anxiously.
Li Ruoxiang knew that the situation was dire, but she also knew that now was the time to stay calm.
She tapped her finger on the table and said, “Send Wang Tong.”
“But Wang Tong’s alchemy level is nowhere near… ”
“Do we have any better options?” Li Ruoxiang said.
The Elders could only sigh. Indeed, there were no better choices now, so they reluctantly ordered, “Wang Tong, you go!”
The female disciple named Wang Tong was not as good as Feng Qian, and she had no confidence in herself. As she stepped forward, her aura was much weaker compared to Wei Gang’s.
“Tsk, so it’s Junior Sister Wang Tong. Didn’t you see how Feng Qian just lost? You dare to compete with your Senior Brother Wei Gang?” Wei Gang sneered arrogantly.
“You!” Wang Tong was timid by nature, and when provoked by Wei Gang, she didn’t know how to retort.
Yang Chen watched all of this and rubbed his eyebrows, sighing bitterly in his heart.
He observed everything clearly. The Great Elder was well-prepared for the Pill Battle, but Li Ruoxiang was not. Having just returned from the Black Dragon Sect, she had had no time to prepare. It seemed that the remaining four disciples were even worse than Feng Qian. If they were to compete, they would most likely lose more than win!
It seemed that he had to find a way to help Li Ruoxiang.
