The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

How could he be willing to do this?

"No, this is not true, I don't believe it!" Li Hao shouted loudly.

"Your pill is of good quality, but the pill pattern is just average. To you, this pill is just a defective one!" The elder said in a cold tone, "This is the truth!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Li Hao yelled, "I am a genius in the world of alchemy, I am a genius in the world of refining weapons, and I am also a formation master. How could I not be able to refine a top-grade sixth-grade elixir? You are talking nonsense. My elixir pattern cannot be a defective one. I don't believe it!"

The elder looked at Li Hao with disgust in his eyes. Such an alchemy genius was not worth cultivating at all. However, it was not appropriate to do anything in public under this situation.

The elder's eyes fell on Xi Suo, and then turned to Li Hao: "Li Hao, the remaining pill was made by Xi Suo, you come and evaluate it and see if there is any problem!"

"Yes! Elder!" Li Hao shouted, then looked at Xi Suo, "Brother Xi Suo, come and take a look at this pill, is it made by you?"

Xi Suo took the pills and took a look at them, then said, "I made them. Two yellow and one green, a total of three marrow cleansing pills."

"Oh!"

Li Hao nodded, and looked at Xi Suo with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Although the elixir you refined is of the sixth grade, it is not good enough."

Li Hao looked at Hisoka, a hint of conspiracy flashing in his eyes.

Xi Suo didn't say anything, just looked at Li Hao quietly.

"The quality of your pills is too poor, and they don't have much spirituality. If you don't improve your refining methods, you will never reach the level of high-level pills."

"Brother Hisoka, you're not unwilling to admit it, are you?" Li Hao looked proud.

"Admit it?" Hisoka was slightly stunned. "Why not admit it? Some of what you said is correct."

"Haha, I feel relieved when you say that." Li Hao showed a relaxed expression, "In that case, let's continue refining and try to refine five sixth-grade pills at a time. This will be enough to prove that my pills are better than yours."

"Of course I have no objection!"

Li Hao smiled.

Hisoka's mind suddenly became active.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Hisoka is not stupid, how could he not understand the meaning of Li Hao's words? He just wants to embarrass him. How could he agree to such a result?

Hisoka's eyes swept over the elders, and with a smile in his eyes, he looked at the referee.

"Li Hao, you said that Xi Suo's elixir has not reached the level of high-level elixir?" The elder suddenly looked at Li Hao and asked.

The elder's gaze fell on Li Hao's face, making Li Hao feel a sense of oppression.

"Yes." Li Hao lowered his head.

"What are your criteria for judgment?" asked the elder.

"Although Xi Suo has refined a lot of pills, this green pill doesn't even have any pill patterns on it. Besides, the marrow cleansing pills that Zhao Yufan and I have refined are all yellow, and we don't even know what the green pill that Xi Suo has refined is."

Chapter 654: So the two yellows and one green are the result of toxin confrontation?

Li Hao explained his judging criteria to the elders one by one.

After hearing what Li Hao said, the elder frowned slightly. "You are half right."

Li Hao's face turned dark.

"It's true what Li Hao said about the elixir not having elixir patterns. But, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is not yellow. In other words, it doesn't have a fixed color." The elder snorted coldly.

Li Hao suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into a cold valley, and a bone-chilling cold spread throughout his body.

"Xi Suo, show everyone the medicinal herbs you use." The elder looked at Xi Suo with an expectant expression.

"Yes, Elder." Xi Suo walked to the table and brought Qingxin Grass, Muqing, and some low-grade medicinal herbs in front of everyone.

"Aren't these just some low-level medicinal herbs? These herbs are all ordinary grasses. Is there anything special about them?" Li Hao's tone was a little speechless.

Hisoka ignored Li Hao's rudeness.

"Are these the only herbs used? Xiso." The elder asked Xiso again.

Xi Suo nodded: "No, there is another herbal ingredient that I can't take out."

Li Hao was already dissatisfied with Xi Suo, and he became even angrier after hearing what Xi Suo said, "It's just a medicinal ingredient, why are you taking so long to get it out?"

Xi Suo ignored Li Hao and said, "When I first refined it, the medicine cauldron was very hot and almost exploded. I tried hard to control the heat, but found that the medicine cauldron was still out of my control." Xi Suo picked up Mu Qing and continued, "I thought about it and added Mu Qing to neutralize the heat during the second refining. It did work, but the medicine cauldron still moved strangely."

After saying that, Hisoka picked up the Purifying Grass again.

"When I was refining the medicine, the flames in the medicine cauldron kept changing. I tried to fuse this Qingxin grass into it, but found it very difficult to fuse. I tried several times, but the medicine cauldron still showed no signs of calming down. Finally, I thought of a medicinal ingredient."

"What kind of medicinal herb is it?" asked the elder.

"Seven-Star Grass." Hisoka said the name.

"Seven-Star Grass? You added Seven-Star Grass to the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Don't you know that this thing is highly poisonous?" Li Hao became more and more excited, and even wanted to attack Xi Suo, but was stopped by the referee.

"Of course I know that Seven-Star Grass is highly poisonous, but haven't you noticed that there is no such thing as Seven-Star Grass among the medicinal materials provided for the competition?" Xi Suo asked Li Hao.

Li Hao was stunned by Xi Suo's question. He thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was indeed no Seven Star Grass among the medicinal materials provided for the competition.

After a while, Li Hao reacted and asked again: "How did you use the medicinal herbs without the Seven Star Grass?"

"Although there is no Seven Star Grass in the medicinal materials provided, there is refined Seven Star Grass toxin. The refined toxin is lower than the original Seven Star Grass and can be neutralized by Mu Qing."

"You..." Li Hao looked at Hisoka with his eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.

"When you were refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill this time, you knew to add the toxin extracted from the Seven-Star Grass, but do you know why your pill has two yellows and one green?" the elder said lightly.

"I don't know." Hisoka shook his head.

“Although the toxin in the extracted Seven-Star Grass is lower than that in the medicinal material, if you feel it carefully, you will find that it is not as stable as it appears on the surface. The toxins inside it will fight against each other and finally be separated during the refining process.” The elder explained slowly.

"So the two yellows and one green are the result of toxins fighting against each other?"

Chapter 655: Hisoka Becomes the Alchemy Competition Champion

Hisoka still didn't understand, so he asked the elders.

"That's right." The elder nodded.

Li Hao had a surprised expression on his face, and he looked at Hisoka with a hint of admiration.

"Li Hao. Do you know now why you lost?" the elder said to Li Hao.

Li Hao did not answer.

"You have strong aptitude in medicine refining, but your practice method is too impetuous. This impetuousness makes it difficult for you to achieve results in medicine refining, because in medicine refining, you have to use mental power to manipulate the medicine to succeed, and your attainments in mental power are not high, so you can only be a pharmacist, not an alchemist. Looking at the entire continent, there are only a handful of alchemists of your level." said the elder.

After hearing the elder's words, Li Hao fell silent. He knew where he had failed.

"Li Hao, do you have anything else to say?" the elder continued to ask Li Hao.

Li Hao pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

"I surrender."

Hearing Li Hao's words, the elder smiled with satisfaction.

"Zhao Yufan, why are you hiding in the corner? You are also a participant in this competition." The elder noticed Zhao Yufan hiding aside.

Zhao Yufan stood up. "Elder, my practice is too shallow. I haven't even refined the elixir completely."

"Fifth-grade elixirs are different from lower-grade elixirs. The energy and effort required are also different. Failure to refine them once is nothing at all." The elder said calmly.

"Yes, Elder." Zhao Yufan said respectfully.

"Xi Suo, you did well in this alchemy competition. You dared to add toxins to the refining, which is something most alchemists dare not do." The elder looked at Xi Suo with approval. "No matter how strong your alchemy skills are, you have too little to learn. Your alchemy skills are too basic and you don't have any practical experience. I hope you can change this problem."

"Yes, Elder." Xi Suo said respectfully.

"Okay, announce the results." The elder signaled the referee to announce the results of the game.

The referee stood up and walked in front of Xi Suo. "I declare that the winner of this alchemy competition is Xi Suo. The second place is Li Hao, and the third place is Zhao Yufan."

When Hisoka heard the referee announce that he was the winner, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of being defeated by Li Hao just now.

"Congratulations to Hisoka for winning the championship. The reward for this competition will be a bottle of fourth-grade healing pills and a spiritual-level equipment. The best alchemist of this competition will be awarded three fifth-level pills as a reward. The other two will also receive rewards. Please go to the pharmacy together to claim your prizes."

"Thank you." Hisoka bowed in thanks.

"Xi Suo, let's go to the pharmacy to get our reward." Zhao Yufan said.

"Okay." Xi Suo nodded, then followed Li Hao and Zhao Yufan to the pharmacy.

On the way, Zhao Yufan said, "Congratulations on becoming the champion, Xi Suo."

"Thank you, Zhao Yufan, you're not bad either." Xi Suo responded.

"Xiso, you refine sixth-grade elixirs and I refine fifth-grade elixirs. What's the difference?" Zhao Yufan asked.

“Not bad.”

"No way, are you just trying to fool me?" Zhao Yufan asked with a frown.

"of course not."

"But I can only refine fifth-grade pills." Zhao Yufan lowered his head.

"We started from different points. Is it too much to ask us to be in the same position? The elder also said that you have a lot of room for improvement." Xi Suo responded.

Chapter 656: We can be friends, right?

Xi Suo has always admired Zhao Yufan.

Because Zhao Yufan's personality and way of doing things are very similar to himself, he has a proud character. Although it is not very strong, he is very stubborn and never admits defeat. Such a person is easy to get along with. It is precisely because of this that Xi Suo is willing to teach him, but he is also very busy, and Xi Suo does not always have time to teach him.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two seem to be having a great chat. Did you forget that I'm with you?" Li Hao suddenly jumped out and said something.

Li Hao's appearance made Li Hao and Hisoka embarrassed.

"So you are here." Zhao Yufan complained silently.

Li Hao smiled and walked up to the two of them.

"Zhao Yufan, if you want to study, can I help you?" Li Hao said.

Li Hao turned to look at Hisoka and said, "I can help you if you need it."

"Come on, you have to beat them first." Zhao Yufan retorted to Li Hao again.

Xi Suo smiled. "Li Hao, I'm not such a stingy person."

"Hisoka, I know that although I lost to you, it's not that I can't afford to lose." Li Hao's eyes showed a hint of determination.

"Well, as a fellow alchemist, we should indeed have such thoughts." Xi Suo replied.

"We can be friends." Li Hao said in a low voice.

Li Hao's words stunned Xi Suo and Zhao Yufan. Li Hao, who was usually arrogant, now took the initiative to invite Xi Suo to be friends with him, which made them both flattered.

Xi Suo didn't say anything, but Zhao Yufan laughed. "Li Hao, do you really think so?"

Li Hao ignored Zhao Yufan and looked at Hisoka.

"If you want to make friends, you can give it a try," said Hisoka.

Li Hao's face turned gloomy in an instant, but soon recovered.

"Okay." Li Hao said.

"Haha." Zhao Yufan laughed, "Since Xi Suo has said so, I will agree with reluctance."

"Shut up." Li Hao glared at Zhao Yufan.

Xi Suo didn't say anything, just smiled.

The three people walked into the pharmacy, took the pills, and then Li Hao and Zhao Yufan left the pharmacy.

Xi Suo stayed in the pharmacy, waiting for the people from the Alchemist Guild to give him the reward.

About half an hour later, a staff member from the Alchemist Guild finally came over.

"Congratulations, Xi Suo, you won the first place in this Yaolu competition." The man handed the reward to Xi Suo. "This is your reward, and this is your bonus." The man put the reward on the table.

"This is your badge."

Xi Suo took out his badge, then took the reward and looked at the reward on it. It was a total of seven million gold coins, a fifth-grade pill, an eighth-grade pill, and two auxiliary pills.
