Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The location of this alchemy competition is located in the Kun area of Danding Academy. In an area the size of a basketball court, there is an open alchemy room specially set up for the competition.

The materials for the Purple Extreme Pill are directly retrieved from the Danding Society's material library, and the credits consumed in this process must also be paid by the loser.

The result of the alchemy competition is that the winner takes all.

"Are you sure?" the person in charge asked with sweaty palms.

"The Purple Extreme Pill is an ancient recipe elixir with a success rate of less than 10%. Speaking of confidence, no one can be absolutely sure, but..." Zhang Tingshan smiled faintly: "Could he be more familiar with it than me?"

The Purple Extreme Pill is an elixir used for breakthroughs, and every first-level transcendent is very eager for it.

The reason why there are so many second-level extraordinary people in Penglai is that although the Purple Extreme Pill is precious, it is not uncommon here.

Each person only needs it once, so as long as hundreds of them can be produced every year, so many second-level ones can be produced.

However, even a high-level alchemist would have to rely on luck to be able to refine the Purple Extreme Pill. The price of the medicinal materials was only over 200 credits, but the average transaction price was over 600 credits.

There is only one chance to compete for the elixir, no second chance.

Zhang Tingshan had already made up his mind. Even if he couldn't make the pill, making a semi-finished product was better than not being able to hand over anything.

He guided the earth fire into the alchemy furnace, the flame lit up the furnace, and the temperature began to rise. He grabbed the herbs and threw them into the furnace, and began to control the flame and refine them.

Just then, there was an uproar.

Zhang Tingshan's attention was also drawn to him. He turned his head and saw Bai Yu open the alchemy furnace, then picked up all the herbs and threw them into it.

After making sure that almost all the herbs had been thrown in, he began to slowly introduce the earth fire for refining.

Zhang Tingshan also had a lump in his throat at this moment. He put the herbs in first and then turned on the fire... Did you think he was cooking?!

Does this guy know how to make elixirs?

The people around were in an uproar. Seventy percent of the people who came to watch the show were alchemists. Even if the others were not alchemists, they had seen pigs running, so they could naturally tell that this method was simply absurd.

Only Hua Yuan pushed up his glasses, shook his head and exclaimed: "Wow!"

Every time he saw this cooking-style alchemy technique, he couldn't help but sigh that the gap between people was really huge.

Although he had seen through the finishing touch of refining the Sword Qi Pill last time, he could neither learn nor understand the method of refining all the medicinal materials in one go.

Usually medicinal materials need to be refined one by one before being fused into pills, just like assembling Lego toys, which must be assembled one bag at a time. The puzzle must be assembled starting from the edge and getting faster as you go to the end.

Bai Yu's approach, however, was completely the opposite. He started the puzzle from the middle, which was not only difficult but also prone to problems.

Of course, there are benefits as well.

The advantage is that the alchemy process is faster and more efficient.

But alchemy is not like cooking, so what’s the point of being quick? It’s not like a regular restaurant where you have to wait for your food to be served, so no one dares to rush.

Bai Yu was refining the alchemy at a speed that was obviously much faster than Zhang Tingshan next door. The latter also felt the pressure and frequently looked at the alchemy furnace here.

"Is he trying to make the pill faster than me... since he knows it can't be refined anyway, he might as well just make a semi-finished product as quickly as possible?" Zhang Tingshan thought to himself, "How despicable!"

He also had to speed up.

Bai Yu let the fire burn and didn't think about controlling it at all. Instead, he sat down aside, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and occasionally fanning the alchemy furnace a few times, as if he was a food zone UP host boiling Chinese medicine.

The scene was so beautiful that many alchemists were trembling all over and their fists were clenched.

If this is recorded and the video is uploaded to the Internet, he will definitely be an irritating anchor.

After half an hour, Bai Yu took a look at the alchemy furnace, then frowned and realized that things were not simple.

It’s strange. Last time I refined a second-grade pill, it only took a quarter of an hour to make it. Why isn’t it made now?

He looked back left and right.

The copper bamboo shoots are still there.

"Ah..." He picked up a herb: "I forgot one."

Without the copper bamboo shoots, there is no soul.

"puff--!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to chop him down!"

"Damn it! Stop me now! My magnetic field is spinning out of control!"

There was a lot of cursing from the crowd.

Sister Wu, on the other hand, looked extremely happy.

Professor Shi was also at a loss for words and said, "This student might be more suitable to be a spiritual chef."

No one thought that such a reckless move would produce any results.

Zhang Tingshan was also sweating profusely. Seeing that the other party had lost a main spiritual medicine, he was no longer anxious. What was there to be anxious about... Everyone knows that the most difficult ingredient to refine in Ziji Dan is the purple copper shoots. If you don't put them in right away, it will be impossible to refine it before the other medicinal properties evaporate.

Bai Yu had also seen the recipe for the elixir and knew that the copper bamboo shoots were the most difficult to refine, so he thought about it, pulled out the Quick Rain Knife from his sleeve, and quickly cut it into dices, then picked up the sticky board and swept the knife.

The smoothness of his movements showed that he had spent at least ten years in knife-making.

The purple copper shoots are a third-grade elixir, and it is impossible to break them apart with bare hands. They are too hard, and can only be cut with a famous sword like the Kuaiyu Knife.

The audience has become numb.

No one shouted for fighting or killing, only people left the table quietly.

The biggest barrier is not confrontation, but indifference... There is a tragically thick barrier between us.

Only Hua Yuan's eyes lit up and he kept taking notes. All operations were worth recording. He firmly believed that the boss's operations must have deep meaning.

As long as Bai Yu can refine the Purple Extreme Pill, then all the absurd operations are worthy of research by all alchemists.

This is what Hua Yuan wants to see the most - he is afraid that the other party will not do something fancy!

As the copper bamboo shoots were added into the furnace, the medicinal materials began to fuse at an accelerated rate.

Just as Bai Yu thought, he just waited and waited... for more than forty minutes.

Everyone stared at the cauldron and smelled the fragrance of the elixir.

They didn't understand. It was fine that Zhang Tingshan's furnace had the aroma of elixir, after all, he was strictly following the elixir recipe; but why did Bai Yu's furnace also have the aroma of elixir?

Zhang Tingshan's eyes lit up, he felt that he was lucky today.

"Turn on the furnace!"

With a bang, a flash of purple light flew out of the alchemy furnace.

Zhang Tingshan grabbed him, extinguished the fire in the alchemy furnace, and pretended to be reserved. He clasped his fists and said to everyone, "I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission."

He had been working so hard to speed up the process in order to refine the semi-finished product faster. Otherwise, it would take at least two hours to produce the Purple Extreme Pill.

He handed the seemingly flawless Purple Extreme Pill to Professor Shi. Professor Shi took a look at it, then sighed and shook his head, "If you hadn't deliberately increased your speed, you might have been able to refine a complete Purple Extreme Pill."

Zhang Tingshan said unconcernedly, "As long as we can win."

Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is still effective, even if its medicinal power is not even 30% of that of the original Zi Ji Dan.

At this moment there was another bang!

Following Zhang Tingshan, Bai Yu also opened the alchemy furnace, and a purple light also floated out.

Zhang Tingshan began to be thankful for how wise his early action was. Even if they were all semi-finished products, as long as he was faster, he would still win.

Bai Yu held the Purple Extreme Pill in his hand and weighed it as if he was playing with a glass marble, but in fact it was a little hot because it had just come out of the oven.

"One Purple Extreme Pill." Bai Yu looked a little regretful. "If I had more herbs, I should be able to make two more."

Zhang Tingshan retorted, "Do you think you're a high-ranking alchemist? How shameless!"

Professor Shi picked up Bai Yu's Purple Extreme Pill and his eyes widened: "This is—"

"What's wrong, Professor Shi?" Sister Wu asked, "Is there something wrong with this pill?"

"No, no problem..." Professor Shi immediately took out the instruments and test strips he carried with him to test it. After a simple and quick operation, he immediately laughed loudly: "It is indeed Ziji Dan, and it is a very high-quality Ziji pill. Pill! How did you make it? That ridiculous operation can actually make the pill? Chopped copper bamboo shoots and then adding them can really improve the yield rate and the quality of the pill?!"

He didn't care about anything else and immediately asked Bai Yu a series of questions.

At this time, the people in the audience could no longer sit still.

"What? The pill is ready?"

"Is that really the Purple Extreme Pill?"

"This is outrageous. Someone let me slap it to see if it's true."

"Ah? Ah??? He's obviously decocting Chinese medicine, how can he do such a mess?"

"Shut up! Since he's made the Purple Extreme Pill, he must be at least a third-grade alchemist. Show some respect!"

"I finally understand why Huayuan is so confident... He's even been taking notes. It seems he knew this all along!"

There was an uproar and a commotion.

The students couldn't understand why Bai Yu's cooking and decocting skills could actually produce a pill, and a third-grade pill at that... How?

In response to these doubts, Bai Yu smiled and said, "I don't know."

God knows how it works. I'm just a causal superpower.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Zhang Tingshan suddenly collapsed and shouted, "You cheated, you must have cheated!"

His eyes were red, his expression was sullen, and he roared like a gambler who had lost his temper: "I demand that he be examined!"

It's just that no one cares about this.

Sister Wu first held her chin and sighed. She stood up, twisting her slender waist, and said slowly, "Mr. Zhang, there are so many people from the law enforcement team here, and the audience is watching. Do you think we are blind? If we really cheated, it will definitely be exposed, right?"

Professor Shi said with an unhappy expression: "Do you think I am a blind person who can't tell the difference between new pills and old pills?"

Zhang Tingshan was speechless after being rebuked. He murmured stubbornly, "But, but, it's so random..."

"The elixir won't lie. It's the truth." Professor Shi concluded without question, "This is the rule of Danding Academy. The semi-finished product you produced is inferior to the other party's elixir. This is the truth!"

Professor Shi's voice was like thunder, and his third-level soul power was shaking: "Zhang Tingshan, a third-year student at Danding Academy, you must admit defeat!"

Zhang Tingshan's face turned the color of liver. He looked at the Purple Extreme Pill unwillingly. After a long moment, he said dejectedly, "Student admits defeat."

"Humph!" Professor Shi waved his hand. "According to the rules of the Alchemy Competition, you should fulfill your promise."

Zhang Tingshan's muscles were trembling, his face was ashen, he forced himself to bend his back, bent over, and his expression was as ferocious as Director Yamatoda who was forced to kneel.

"I'm sorry for what I said..."

"I'm a blind fool... I don't know my place, I just bark."

He finished these words in a ferocious tone, and then he looked like a deflated ball or an eggplant hit by frost, wilting and losing all his energy.

People who attach great importance to dignity sometimes fall into depravity faster when they lose it.

He took out the fourth-grade spiritual medicine Buddha Fruit, put it down, turned around and ran away without looking back. He even fell down on the way and the whole audience burst into laughter.

"This is truly a disgrace." Sister Wu smiled briefly. "Then let's call it a day, everyone. Let's go."

The person in charge in the crowd was just about to sneak away with the crowd when he was caught on the spot by a law enforcement officer.

"Where do you want to go?"

"You still have the signed Dan Dou Treaty to complete."

"And you'll have to pay for the credits for the elixirs consumed in this alchemy competition... Or do you want to spend some time in the Law Enforcement Department's holding cell? The guys there are all exceptional, each with their own unique skills. Their fighting spirit and endurance are truly astonishing, and they'll definitely surprise you."

The law enforcement officer patted the person in charge's butt with a very healthy smile.

The person in charge collapsed on the ground in fear. He had spent several years giving away many gifts before he got the position of the head of the Yuling Society Office. Now that it was back to the time before liberation, he would inevitably be held accountable.

He even offended an alchemist of the third rank or above. Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he also lost his wife and his army.

He cursed loudly, "Zhang Tingshan, you bastard, you've caused me so much trouble!"

"Let go, let go! I'll pay you, I'll pay you!"

"I don't want to go to the law enforcement department to stay in jail!"

Chapter 292 Is It Really?

The Purple Extreme Pill was obtained just like that.

Bai Yu himself was a little surprised, so the copper bamboo shoots he bought had nowhere to use.

I also got a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, the Buddha Fruit, for free.
