Lack of materials had undoubtedly become the most awkward situation for him now. He had the skills, but without materials, he couldn’t simply create an elixir out of thin air.
With that thought, Yang Chen didn’t care about his dignity anymore and sent a sound transmission directly to Li Ruoxiang, explaining his embarrassing predicament.
Upon hearing that Yang Chen lacked materials, Li Ruoxiang did not hesitate. She followed Yang Chen’s instructions, remembered the materials he needed and ordered her subordinates to prepare them for him. Li Ruoxiang wouldn’t hesitate when it came to providing materials.
After all, in theory, the Green Lotus Sect was supposed to cover these expenses.
Seeing that an elder of the Green Lotus Sect had already gone to prepare the materials, Yang Chen felt relieved and started waiting patiently. Alchemy didn’t have a strictly defined time limit, as long as it didn’t take too long – there should be no problem.
The time spent preparing the materials was naturally not very long, so Yang Chen had no worries.
However, his idle stance was interpreted as self-abandonment by others.
“What is Yang Chen doing?”
“Has he given up on himself?”
“Hmm, who knows? Maybe he’s given up hope because he thinks he can’t beat Senior Brother Fang He?”
As Yang Chen talked to Li Ruoxiang through a sound transmission, many people didn’t know the reason. Even Li Ruoxiang’s disciples were wide-eyed, wondering what exactly Yang Chen was doing. Fang He had started alchemy already, but Yang Chen just sat there doing nothing.
The doubts were only temporary. When the elder Li Ruoxiang had sent to fetch the materials returned and handed them over, the surrounding people suddenly understood.
So that’s what it was – Yang Chen lacked materials.
“He came to perform alchemy but didn’t even bring enough materials!”
“That’s simply disrespect to the profession of alchemy!”
“Bullshit, if it weren’t for Wei Gang’s provocation, Yang Chen wouldn’t even have taken action. He never planned to intervene, so why would he have materials in stock!” Some of Li Ruoxiang’s female disciples retorted.
With the female disciples’ retort, those who had just wanted to badmouth Yang Chen were left speechless since they had no way to refute their argument.
It seemed true; if it were not for Wei Gang’s provocation, Yang Chen wouldn’t have taken action at all…
“So what if he’s late? A late start can cost one’s success. Your Yang Chen started alchemy so late, haha, the outcome is already set!”
“Exactly!”
When Yang Chen’s materials arrived, Fang He had already successfully refined his elixir.
At this moment, Fang He placed the pill furnace in front of him, confidently and leisurely said, “Yang Chen, I don’t know what kind of elixir you are refining, but it must be only a Five-Grade Initial Stage elixir. How come, after refining one furnace of Five-Grade Initial Stage elixirs, you can’t even manage the materials for the second one?”
“Hehe, Senior Brother Fang, you don’t know. Yang Chen, the number one genius in the Eastern Region, comes from an impoverished background in North Mountain County. Where would he have resources? He’s always been very frugal with his Hua Ling Stones and such.” A disciple sneered.
Yang Chen ignored them, focusing on the pill furnace, and slowly began alchemy.
He didn’t deliberately speed up; on the contrary, he intentionally slowed down.
The time was long, and if Fang He had refined the elixir already, he might as well slow him down.
As Yang Chen thought this, time gradually passed.
One hour went by in a flash.
Fang He was already restless. Seeing Yang Chen’s slow refining speed, he was even more furious.
He clenched his teeth and said, “I say, Yang Chen, can you do it or not?”
Yang Chen smiled slightly, and finally slowed down his pace.
In an instant, the scent of the elixir filled the air.
“I’ve also refined the elixir.” Yang Chen said.
“If that’s the case, both of you may reveal the elixir,” the referee said.
Furious, Fang He was eager to prove his brilliance to Yang Chen. He swiftly uncovered his pill furnace.
Five well-rounded pills emerged from the furnace, emitting a faint glow. It was easy to see that the quality of these pills was top-notch.
Some discerning individuals said in shock after the faint glow faded, “This… This is the Longji Pill!”
“Indeed, it’s the Longji Pill, no doubt. Rumor has it that it can instantly detoxify a body and make it immune to most poisons; it’s a precious elixir, one of the Five-Grade Perfect Pills. Fang He managed to refine five of them all at once, this…”
The entire scene was shocked.
Li Ruoxiang’s subordinates were wide-eyed and speechless, not fully comprehending the situation. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing and felt uneasy. These five perfect Fifth Grade elixirs were equivalent to a Sixth Grade Low-Class elixir. How could Yang Chen possibly win?
Fang He was not on the same level as Wei Gang at all!
Only Li Ruoxiang remained calm, her eyes fixed on Yang Chen, waiting quietly for him to reveal his creation.
Great Elder Zhang Huai stroked his beard, watching everything with a smile.
He was confident in his victory…
No, to be precise, he had already won. Certain things didn’t need the referee to judge them conclusively.
Five Grade Perfect Pills – what could be more convincing than that?
Fang He was also very satisfied with his refining results and said with a faint smile, “Yang Chen, it’s your turn.”
Hearing this, Yang Chen did not waste any time and took the elixir out of his pill furnace.
A similar faint glow emerged.
It seemed even more dazzling than the Longji Pill’s, causing everyone to be surprised. When the light dimmed, everyone focused their attention on it.
“This…!”
Many felt as if their jaws were about to drop from astonishment.
“This is the Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pill!” Someone broke the silence and named the elixir.
The name of the elixir was like a nail, piercing Fang He’s heart!
Fang He stared intently at the elixir in Yang Chen’s hand, and even though he didn’t want to admit or believe it, he had to accept the fact that Yang Chen refined a Sixth Grade Initial Stage elixir, the Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pill! An elixir that he couldn’t even be sure of refining himself!
