High Grade Magical Artifact?
Qin Xuan looked at Li Hu with some surprise.
The value of a High Grade Magical Artifact was not simple, and Qin Xuan had not expected this person to possess one.
However, since Li Hu was a Three-Rank Alchemist, it was normal for him to have a High Grade Magical Artifact.
“Is this enough?”
As Li Hu spoke, Qin Xuan nodded.
“Enough. Since you’ve brought out so much, I can’t offer too little…”
Qin Xuan was about to take out items for his own wager, but at that moment, Li Hu suddenly spoke coldly.
“No need for anything else. I’ll use your head as the wager!”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd fell silent.
Everyone looked at Li Hu in astonishment; they never expected Li Hu to use Qin Xuan’s life as a wager.
“Li Hu, don’t go too far!”
Jiang Dan said angrily.
“Too far? He almost choked me to death. Am I going too far?”
Li Hu stared back at Jiang Dan with equal fury.
He would return what Qin Xuan had done to him twofold!
He wanted Qin Xuan’s life.
“Is that so!”
Qin Xuan nodded, looking at Li Hu with a hint of surprise, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.
This person must be eliminated given the chance!
But not now.
“Using my head as a wager isn’t impossible, but your wager isn’t quite enough yet!”
“You need to add more money!”
Qin Xuan looked at Li Hu with a smile.
Li Hu, on the other hand, looked at Qin Xuan with surprise.
He hadn’t expected that even though he was using Qin Xuan’s life as a wager, this Qin Xuan showed no intention of backing down.
Not only that, but this person even calmly bargained with him.
It was as if he felt completely confident of victory.
Could it be that this person truly had great attainments in the Dao of Alchemy?
While Li Hu was filled with doubt, Qin Xuan urged him on, as if he himself wasn't the one gambling with Li Hu.
“Add two more High Grade Magical Artifacts!”
Li Hu said, taking out two more High Grade Magical Artifacts, but Qin Xuan still shook his head.
“Don’t be so greedy!”
Li Hu questioned him from the side.
Qin Xuan smiled, dismissing it with disdain.
“What? Do you lack confidence in winning? If you’re confident, then just put more down. But if you’re hesitating like this, do you not have absolute certainty of victory?”
Qin Xuan’s mocking words left Li Hu speechless.
Nothing else, he indeed had some hesitation now, after all, Qin Xuan did seem a bit too formidable.
“What are you afraid of? You don’t even have confidence against a mere newcomer? You were the one who proposed adding stakes, and now you’re backing down?”
Wu Yong looked at Li Hu with dissatisfaction from the side.
Hearing this, Li Hu gritted his teeth and threw out his qiankun ring, placing it directly to the side.
“This is my qiankun ring. I’ll use my entire fortune as a wager. Similarly, you must also use your fortune as a wager.”
Li Hu stared intently at Qin Xuan as he spoke.
Qin Xuan shook his head.
“There’s no need. If I lose, my life will be gone, and my things will be yours to take as you please.”
Wu Yong and Li Hu were speechless.
Jiang Dan on the side was very anxious. He wanted to say something to Qin Xuan, but at this moment, Qin Xuan was only staring at Li Hu, not even looking at him, so he was at a loss for a moment.
“Then let’s begin!”
The two spoke, then stood in front of their respective Medicine Cauldrons.
“Since it’s an Alchemy competition, let’s see whose Medicinal Pill quality is better. If the quality is the same, then we’ll see who refines it faster.”
Wu Yong glanced at Qin Xuan and Li Hu, a smile playing on his lips.
“How about we choose a Three-Rank Medicinal Pill this time? As for which Medicinal Pill, Jiang Master, you can decide. That way it’s fair, and you won’t say I’m bullying your Named Disciple.”
He directly set the Medicinal Pill to Three-Rank in one breath.
As soon as this condition was stated, Jiang Dan immediately hesitated.
For a Three-Rank Medicinal Pill, Qin Xuan was naturally extremely familiar with the medicinal properties of the herbs, but when it came to Alchemy, he wasn't sure of Qin Xuan’s actual strength. If he chose something too difficult and it failed, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
“Then let’s refine the Bone-Growing Pill. This Medicinal Pill is relatively common among Three-Rank Medicinal Pills.”
Jiang Dan said, taking out the Pill Formula.
“Go quickly and prepare the medicinal ingredients!”
Wu Yong instructed the guards, and immediately someone went to prepare the medicinal ingredients. Soon, the medicinal ingredients were delivered.
Looking at the two sets of medicinal ingredients and confirming that there were no issues, Jiang Dan waved his hand, signaling for these people to send the medicinal ingredients over.
Looking at the delivered medicinal ingredients, Qin Xuan immediately looked at the Pill Formula.
Although he hadn’t refined the Bone-Growing Pill before, after glancing at the Pill Formula, Qin Xuan closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment.
This Bone-Growing Pill was actually simple to refine.
With his Alchemy attainments, it was naturally not an issue.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan then looked at Li Hu.
At this moment, Li Hu also looked towards Qin Xuan, their gazes intersecting. Li Hu extended his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.
It was clear that he was very confident in defeating Qin Xuan.
“Then let’s see if you have the ability.”
Qin Xuan chuckled softly.
“Since the Pill Formula and medicinal ingredients are ready, let’s begin!”
Wu Yong frowned, then waved his hand, signaling to begin refining the Medicinal Pill.
Upon seeing this, Li Hu immediately took action.
“Boom!”
A ball of flame flew out from Li Hu’s palm, then began to roast the Medicine Cauldron.
“Spirit Flame Earth Fire?”
Hearing this, Wu Yong nodded proudly.
“Good eyesight, it is indeed Spirit Flame Earth Fire. This fire was subdued by Li Hu himself; it’s much more powerful than those ordinary Pill Fires.”
Jiang Dan couldn’t help but become a little nervous.
For an Alchemist, the Medicine Cauldron, medicinal ingredients, and flame are all very important. If any part goes wrong, it could be a major problem.
This Qin Xuan wouldn’t even have a flame, would he?
“Kid, you really don’t have a flame, do you? If you can’t even conjure a Pill Fire, then don’t bother competing. It’s too embarrassing.”
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, flipped his palm, and a stream of flame immediately surged out.
“It’s actually Spirit Fire!”
Wu Yong’s expression immediately changed.
Qin Xuan actually had Spirit Fire. What did this mean?
It meant that this young man in front of him might actually know Alchemy!
He knew exactly what this meant.
Thinking of this, Wu Yong immediately frowned deeply.
Not only him, but even Li Hu was a little flustered.
This Qin Xuan actually knew how to refine Medicinal Pills!
Putting everything else aside, just this Spirit Fire alone was enough to greatly surprise him.
No way!
Li Hu quickly cheered himself on.
Even if this kid really knew how to refine Medicinal Pills, they would only be low-grade Medicinal Pills. It was impossible for him to refine a Three-Rank Medicinal Pill.
Thinking this, Li Hu regained his confidence.
However, Qin Xuan on the other side clearly wasn’t thinking about so many things. Watching the temperature of the Medicine Cauldron continuously rise, Qin Xuan took a deep breath, then threw all the medicinal ingredients into the Medicine Cauldron.
“Haha, I thought he was some kind of expert, but it turns out he’s nothing special. I was thinking too much.”
Seeing Qin Xuan actually throw all the medicinal ingredients into the Medicine Cauldron, Wu Yong immediately burst into laughter.
Now he was relieved.
For an Alchemist, each medicinal ingredient has specific requirements for the flame’s temperature and heat control.
If the temperature is too high, the medicinal liquid is prone to volatilization; if the temperature is too low, the medicinal liquid is difficult to extract.
More critically, the Fusion of all medicinal liquids has a specific sequence, and this is the key to everything.
Allowing the medicinal ingredients and medicinal liquids to fuse together in the predetermined order is the only way to refine a qualified Medicinal Pill.
This requires the Alchemist to strictly control the timing and temperature of each medicinal ingredient added to the Medicine Cauldron.
But now, Qin Xuan had actually thrown all the medicinal ingredients in at once.
“What are you doing? Are you learning how to stir-fry like a Mortal? How ridiculous. I think you should leave the Azure Green Sect now and go learn how to stir-fry among Mortals. Don’t waste time here; Alchemy isn’t suitable for you!”
