Chapter 309: 306: Yuwen Hao 1
“You don’t know? It’s a treasure furnace. a real alchemv treasure furnace!
With Yang Chen’s knowledge, he naturally recognized the preciousness of the Purple Yin Pill Furnace at a glance. As the discussion suggested, this Purple Yin Pill Furnace was indeed a ‘treasure furnace’.
Not every pill furnace can be called a treasure furnace. The value of a treasure furnace, although not as precious as a strange fire in flames, is still a rare breed among pill furnaces.
It can be said that alchemists who own a treasure furnace will have a far easier time when refining pills, even achieving effects that are difficult for other alchemists to reach.
Yet, Xiao Yunfeng used a treasure furnace during the alchemy process.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, admitting that there were loopholes to exploit in this Alchemy Knockout Competition.
Take Xiao Yunfeng for example. Yang Chen would bet that without the Purple
Yin Pill Furnace, Xiao Yunfeng could at most be a Fourth-tier Junior Alchemy Master and might not even reach that level. But with the Purple Yin Pill
Furnace, Xiao Yunfeng instantly became a Fourth-tier Intermediate Alchemist.
There was no way around it – the effects of the treasure furnace were just too significant. With the same materials and methods, the treasure furnace’s pill formation success rate was much higher. Even if Xiao Yunfeng himself was not confident in refining Fourth-grade middle-stage pills, with the treasure furnace, he could refine them with a high degree of certainty.
The Alchemy Knockout Competition did not prohibit the use of treasure furnaces, and there were no restrictions on either pill furnaces or strange fires.
It was unavoidable.
Since Xiao Yunfeng was a genius of Beishan Main City, the rules would naturally favor their own talents in the city.
This disappointed Yang Chen even more. As a matter of fact, basic knowledge of alchemists suggests that low-grade alchemists should not use treasure furnaces, as they can easily affect the user and even lead to instability in their cultivation.
Fourth-Tier Alchemists…
In Yang Chen’s view, they were obviously still low-grade alchemists.
However, compared to that, with the presence of the Purple Yin Pill Furnace, Fan Shijie was in an awkward and embarrassing situation.
When Fan Shijie saw Xiao Yunfeng bring out the treasure furnace, his face showed a sigh of regret, apparently knowing something about Xiao Yunfeng owning an alchemy treasure furnace.
“Brother Xiao, please go ahead,” Fan Shijie said.
Xiao Yunfeng appeared amiable on the surface and said a polite word, but in his heart, he sneered.
“Alchemy Genius?”
Xiao Yunfeng snorted in his heart, “The Huangshan Sect is just the Huangshan
Sect after all. Their so-called main force is still far from being my match. This Purple Yin Pill Furnace is the gap between us!”
In an instant, the two great alchemy geniuses began refining pills.
Yang Chen took one look at their techniques and could already predict the outcome.
Xiao Yunfeng was refining a fourth-grade middle-stage pill, the Qinghuang Pill, while Fan Shijie was refining an Entry-level Fourth-grade Elixir, the Yuanmei Pill.
It’s not that Fan Shijie was inferior to Xiao Yunfeng. Compared to him, Yang
Chen favored Fan Shijie’s breadth of mind and alchemy level more. Fan Shijie’s alchemy techniques were clearly much stronger than Xiao Yunfeng’s by a large margin. If it wasn’t for the Purple Yin Pill Furnace, defeating Fan Shijie would have been wishful thinking for Xiao Yunfeng.
However, the difference was solely due to the Purple Yin Pill Furnace.
As expected, about half an hour later, the result was revealed.
Just as Yang Chen had predicted, Fan Shijie lost disastrously.”Xiao Yunfeng, fourth-grade middle-stage pills, wins with the Qinghuang Pill!” The referee
announced tne result.
With his victory, Xiao Yunfeng’s confidence soared significantly.
In the entire Alchemy Knockout Competition, the only one he found to be a tough opponent was Fan Shijie. Now that he had defeated Fan Shijie, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his confidence surged: “Brother Fan, it seems that your alchemy skills still need some refining.” Hearing this, Yang Chen laughed.
Was Xiao Yunfeng truly ignorant or just pretending to be?
If it weren’t for the absence of the Purple Yin Pill Furnace, would Xiao Yunfeng have any chance of defeating Fan Shijie?
Fan Shijie, unexpectedly calm, did not say much and jumped off the ring. This broad-mindedness made Yang Chen secretly nod his head. Fan Shijie still had a considerable future in the field of alchemy. Bai Yunfei had a good eye.
“The third battle, Yuwen Hao versus Huang Bo!”
“Yuwen Hao, the second main force of the Huangshan Sect!”
“There is no suspense in this battle!”
“Isn’t it? Even though Beishan Main City will take first place in this Alchemy
Knockout Competition, is Xiao Yunfeng in control of the Purple Yin Pill
Furnace and has enough alchemy level? Hey, who will win? Now, the
Huangshan Sect’s first main force is out. There’s only Yuwen Hao left.”
“But Yuwen Hao is far from Fan Shijie. Even if he wins against Huang Bo, can he defeat Xiao Yunfeng?”
“Yang Chen’s alchemy level is not bad either. He might be able to compete with
Xiao Yunfeng, right?”
“Yang Chen, haha, you’re thinking too much. He’s far behind.”
The third battle went as expected, and Yuwen Hao, the second main force of the Huangshan Sect, won eventually.
Finally, the four battles ended, and the four finalists were determined. They were Yang Chen, Yuwen Hao, Xiao Yunfeng, and a teenager named Zhang Feiyang, who was a direct disciple of a great Alchemist, just like Li Xianbin.
Now that the top four had been decided, Elder Hu announced loudly, “Next, we will go from four to two and compete for the top two places. I announce that
Yang Chen will face Yuwen Hao!”
Upon hearing this, people in the viewing platform burst into laughter.
“Yang Chen is going up against Yuwen Hao.”
“Although the champion will definitely be Xiao Yunfeng, the battle between
Yang Chen and Yuwen Hao should be quite exciting. Yang Chen can only refine Essence Pills, but Yuwen Hao is different. His level is sufficient to support him in refining perfect third-grade elixirs!”
“Even if Yang Chen has a deep understanding of Essence Pills and refines them well, what can he do? He still falls short compared to Yuwen Hao. No matter how perfect the third-grade elementary pills he refines are, there is still a gap between them and the perfect third-grade pills. It will be extremely difficult for him to win!”
Instantly, the crowd was abuzz with discussion.
Yang Chen naturally didn’t care about what others thought. He patted his body and stepped onto the ring.
At the same time, Yuwen Hao arrived on the ring. Seeing Yang Chen stepping onto the ring, he raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Yang Chen, I didn’t expect you to have the courage to stand on this ring. If I were you, I would just step down and avoid humiliating myself. Do you think you can beat me by just refining Essence Pills?”
Facing Yuwen Hao’s mockery, Yang Chen grinned, “That’s none of your concern, my friend.”
“Alright, enough talk. Let’s get started,” Yuwen Hao said coldly with a smile, not taking Yang Chen seriously at all.
Although he didn’t get first place, stepping on others and getting second place was still satisfying to him.
In his eyes, there was a significant gap between him and Yang Chen, who could only refine a few Essence Pills..
