The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1518 You're a grown man, how could you refine the Hundred Flowers Heart-Cleansing Pill?

"These rules are so unfair! Who set these questions? Are they biased towards Gu Zhengyu?"

In the audience, Yao Xuanji stomped her feet angrily, her tone very displeased.

Anyone can see that Lin Chen is young. To make him compete with an immortal who is thousands or even tens of thousands of years old in refining pills is just to make him lose.
This is bullying!

Lei Zhenxiu comforted him, "Lin Chen seems very calm. Perhaps he has a way to handle this."

"Humph!"

Yao Xuanji cursed angrily, "If he loses, I'll go back and ask who set the question, and I'll go to their door and yell at them!"

Lei Zhenxiu gave a wry smile and glanced at Zhong Quan.

Zhong Quan smiled but remained silent.

"The first round begins. Both sides, please reveal your first question!"

The two staff members each picked up the first of three pieces of paper from the tray in front of them, unfolded them, and then stuck them onto the wooden board hanging next to them.

"Gu Zhengyu, the Hundred Flowers Heart-Clearing Pill."

"Lin Chen, Tai Su ointment."

As soon as the name was announced, the audience erupted in discussion.

"Although the Hundred Flowers Heart-Clearing Pill is not of high grade, it is very difficult to refine because of the variety of raw materials. There can be no mistakes. In addition, this kind of pill is usually only taken by women occasionally during their special period. Who would want to refine such a pill?"

"Gu Zhengyu is putting Lin Chen in a difficult position by offering the Hundred Flowers Heart-Clearing Pill. Few alchemists would expend so much effort to refine such a difficult but useless pill. Lin Chen is so young, he certainly wouldn't be able to refine it."

"Tai Su Ointment! Lin Chen actually set Tai Su Ointment as a challenge? That's too outrageous! Does he even know how to make Tai Su Ointment?"

"The person who sets the question needs to be able to refine the pills that they set the question for. Lin Chen set the question for Tai Su Ointment, doesn't that mean he can refine it?"

"Impossible! The Tai Su Ointment is extremely difficult to refine. Even the top alchemists on the continent find it difficult to control the precise changes of the medicinal materials in the furnace. Countless people have tried to refine the Tai Su Ointment, all ending in failure. Even if someone is lucky enough to occasionally refine a batch, it is absolutely impossible to replicate that luck..."

On the field, Gu Zhengyu's originally confident expression changed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't forget the rules for setting questions: only pills that you can refine yourself can be used as questions to test me..."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I know."

Gu Zhengyu's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty: "You know how to make Tai Su Ointment?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "That's right, otherwise why would I have used it as a topic?"

Gu Zhengyu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I fail to refine it, if you want to beat me, you have to prove that you can refine it. Otherwise, just talking is easy; anyone can do that!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Of course." Gu Zhengyu's heart sank. Could it be that Lin Chen really knows how to refine it?
impossible!

Gu Zhengyu had mastered countless refining techniques across the continent, but still none of them could effectively refine the Tai Su Ointment. How could Lin Chen do it?
Does he have some kind of superb secret technique?

It's impossible for anyone in the White Crane Immortal Sect to cultivate an alchemist of such a high level. Who did he learn alchemy from?
Gu Zhengyu composed himself and changed his question, "Although the Hundred Flowers Heart-Clearing Pill I'm offering is somewhat unconventional and difficult to make, its medicinal grade is not high, and almost all alchemists can handle it. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Lin can refine it, right?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes."

That single word felt like a heavy hammer blow to Gu Zhengyu's heart, causing him a moment of panic.

Lin Chen actually knows how to refine the Hundred Flowers Heart-Clearing Pill?

Isn't this kind of elixir usually something that only female alchemists would painstakingly study and learn?

Why would a grown man like you concoct the Hundred Flowers Heart-Cleansing Pill?
Just outrageous!
Why was Gu Zhengyu panicking?
It's not just because Lin Chen can refine the Hundred Flowers Heart-Clearing Pill, but also because he can't refine the Tai Su Paste!

His alchemy techniques lack precision!

He had tried to refine it before, but he never succeeded!
He tried various methods, but without exception, they all failed!

He never expected Lin Chen to use Tai Su Ointment as the topic. After a long silence, he still had people prepare the medicinal materials and prepare to refine it.

No matter what, we have to give it a try.

What if we succeed this time?
Just as Gu Zhengyu was resigned to certain failure as he began refining the Tai Su Ointment, Lin Chen had already written down the formula, had the medicinal materials prepared according to the formula, and then began the refining process.

The audience was abuzz with discussion, and for a moment no one could tell who had won or lost.

Ordinary cultivators watched the spectacle, while the alchemists stared intently at the two men's refining techniques, completely mesmerized.

Although many of the secrets are impossible to see through, one can always learn something from their alchemy process.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, everyone's eyes turned and they saw the lid of the alchemy furnace in front of Gu Zhengyu fly high into the air, with black smoke and flames shooting out of the furnace.

The furnace exploded!
Gu Zhengyu failed to refine the Tai Su Ointment!

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene, their gazes all falling on Lin Chen on the other side.

Lin Chen was manipulating the alchemical fire, his expression calm and focused, completely absorbed.

Everyone looked at each other.

Judging from this, Lin Chen seems to actually be able to refine the Hundred Flowers Heart-Cleansing Pill?
