Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 102 Taking First Place

"It's formed!"

"I never expected the second alchemist to succeed would be that alchemist from Beast Taming Peak!"

"Haha, I just know if the people who bet on Hu Liang are doing alright now?"

"Damn it, Hu Liang's busy with snakeskin, still dawdling there!"

"I'm so angry!"

Some disciples outside the arena clutched their hearts, furious.

These disciples all bet on Hu Liang from the beginning, and they all bet a lot of spirit stones. Now that Hu Liang has failed to complete the pill for a long time, and the pill furnace is about to burst into flames, he is still calling for beautiful fairies. How can they not be angry?

What started as a laugh has now turned into a bitter laugh – that's the life of gamblers.

"There's still a chance! There's still a chance!"

"Yu Changsheng's pills may not be as potent as Hu Lianghao's!"

"That's right, Hu Liang is pursuing perfection. As long as he can suppress the Desire Immortal Smoke, he will definitely be able to produce ten. If the ending is handled well, even a single pill pattern won't be a problem!"

"Brothers, we must trust Master Hu!"

Amidst the shouts of some disciples, Yu Changsheng extinguished the flames of his alchemy.

"Open the furnace!" Yu Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the furnace lid flew off, revealing the Desire Immortal Pill underneath!

On the stands, Xu Nian stared wide-eyed, eager to see how many pills had been formed.

Gongsun Yang stroked his beard, a broad smile on his face, clearly very confident in his disciple.

"Oh? Ten pills formed, all perfect, such quality!"

Old Huang's eyes changed, and his expression became more serious. He walked up to Yu Changsheng, picked up a Desire Immortal Pill, and sniffed it.

"Ah, good! Good stuff! What a fine elixir!"

Old Huang's face immediately turned rosy, and he took a long sniff, completely captivated by the aroma.

"Good, I didn't expect you, little guy, to be able to refine pills of this caliber!"

"Although there isn't a single pill pattern, its effect is no less than that of a pill pattern. Ten pills, very good, I'll give you 150 points!"

Old Huang looked at Yu Changsheng with great appreciation, his wrinkles crinkling with laughter as he spoke. This was far better than when he first tasted the Desire Immortal Pill.

"One hundred and fifty points?!" Yu Changsheng exclaimed in surprise.

He knew his Desire Immortal Pill wouldn't be bad, but he didn't expect it to reach 150 points. The extra points added in there were too many!

At the same time, Milif's eyes darkened, and a sense of defeat rose in his heart.

The difference between his score of 150 and his own score made him realize that he and Yu Changsheng were not the same kind of people.

"Perhaps this is talent," Milif sighed inwardly.

"Only Hu Liang is left. Let's see if he can succeed in making the pill. Otherwise, he'll definitely be number one this time."

Now that the two alchemists present have finished refining their products, only Hu Liang remains.

All eyes were on him.

Hu Liang made a gesture of raising a glass with one hand, while embracing the imagined beauty with the other, laughing loudly several times and swaying from side to side.

"Come on, again!"

He looked up and took a sip. There was no cup or wine in his hand, but he seemed to be tasting the finest wine in the world!

But the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his expression turned ashen.

"puff!"

After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Hu Liang became much more lucid. He stared straight at the alchemy furnace and reached out to grab it.

"No, no! Don't!"

The ethereal smoke surrounding him gradually dissipated, the fire in the alchemy furnace began to go out, and the pills went out at the same time!

The nascent Desire Immortal Pill cracked open with a snap and then began to turn to ashes.

Upon seeing this, Hu Liang's eyes became somewhat vacant, and he sat blankly on the ground.

"Why is Master Hu coughing up blood? Has he failed?!"

"Damn it, the alchemy furnace went out, the Desire Immortal Pill inside is probably ruined!"

"I bet a thousand spirit stones on him, but now it seems like it's hopeless!"

"You only bet a thousand spirit stones, while I wagered three thousand! I'm the one who lost out big time, I'm so angry!"

"Ugh! Why did I fail?!"

Hu Liang snapped out of his frustration and slammed his fist on the stone platform.

Hu Liang's disappointment was noticed by everyone, and their faces turned grim.

Gongsun Yang smiled slightly as he looked at Hu Liang.

"It seems your disciple's character is still lacking."

Beside him, Hu Liang's master, Xu Nian, sneered, "He only suffered from insufficient magical power. Otherwise, with his alchemy skills, what would a mere Desire Immortal Pill be!"

"Oh? In that case, my disciple has come out on top, hahaha." Gongsun Yang laughed loudly, then whispered, "But your disciple should also go back and cultivate diligently."

"There were quite a few people over there who recorded your disciple's embarrassing behavior with recording stones. If it gets out, your disciple's Dao heart might collapse."

"As a mentor, I have to guide and enlighten you properly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Nian's expression turned extremely grim.

"You, Gongsun Yang, don't need to worry about that!"

With Hu Liang's failed alchemy attempt, this alchemy competition has officially come to an end.

Some laughed, some cried, and some sighed.

"The fifth match of the competition is over," Elder Huang announced.

First place: Yu Changsheng, 264 points.

Second place: Mi Lifu, 157 points.

Third place: Hu Liang, 80 points.

Although Hu Liang failed in alchemy, he could still rank third, because the top three in the alchemy competition would get a chance to choose a spiritual herb below the third rank from the sect.

The points they earn will not be cleared; they will all be converted into sect contributions.

For example, Yu Changsheng's 264 points can be exchanged for 26,400 sect contribution points. These contribution points are enough for Yu Changsheng to combine various pills, and even gather the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill!

"You younger generation are the hope of the new generation. You must practice alchemy more, even if it is not your main focus, you must still do it with your heart."

Old Huang spoke earnestly to Yu Changsheng and Mi Lifu.

The top two finishers in this alchemy competition were quite special. One chose the Beast Taming Peak, and the other chose the Magic Peak. However, both of them possessed terrifying talent in alchemy, far surpassing the others.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng nodded vigorously, then looked at Mi Lifu.

This person's alchemy techniques are combined with the spells of the Magic Peak, which is quite novel. I just don't know how much of the Magic Peak's spells he has learned, or what his strength is like.

If he is like me, with strong talent in both areas, then I should pay more attention to him in the future, as we might meet again during the trials when he advances to become an inner disciple.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Yu Changsheng never underestimates any formidable opponent.

When Mi Lifu saw Yu Changsheng looking him up and down, he gave him an ugly smile with yellow teeth that made people feel disgusted.

Given his sleazy appearance, few people would pay him any attention in a crowd.

Just like this alchemy competition, no one would have expected him to come in second place at the beginning!

Of course, after this alchemy competition, Yu Changsheng's reputation will be much greater than Mi Lifu's; the first and second place are not on the same level.

When sects discuss something, the one that always comes up is number one!

Yu Changsheng glanced at the disciples outside the arena, showing no sign of guilt!
