Chapter 53 Unprecedented Alchemy Techniques
In the afternoon.
The entire Imperial City Square was already packed with people.
"Tell me, who is it that dares to compete with the people of Medicine King Valley in alchemy?"
"I don't know. It seems that even the people from Medicine King Valley have never seen this person before."
"How interesting! I didn't expect to encounter this scene so soon after arriving in the capital."
"Doesn't that person know that the alchemy skills of Medicine King Valley are the best on the continent?"
"Forget it, never mind all that, anyway, this is going to be a good show!"
"..."
When Lin Que and Su Yuyan arrived at the square, everyone there was talking about it. It was clear that everyone in the entire imperial city had received the notice that someone would be here that afternoon to compete with the people from Medicine King Valley in alchemy.
Of course, the girl was still closely following Lin Que.
On the arena in front of the three, Zhang Yuanji was already waiting. In front of him was a cauldron of pills, and he was resting with his eyes closed.
It seems that Medicine King Valley wants to make a big splash, not only having ten thousand witnesses, but also taking the opportunity to promote itself, even though Medicine King Valley is already very famous and doesn't need such publicity.
But why not use this opportunity to demonstrate the authority of Medicine King Valley and suppress the other alchemists?
This will prevent any random alchemist from daring to provoke Medicine King Valley in the future.
The time had come, and Zhang Yuanji, standing on the arena in the square, opened his eyes and shouted down towards the crowd below, "The time has come, where are you?"
"Could it be that they were scared and have already run away?"
Just as Zhang Yuanji finished speaking and glanced at the crowd below the stage, a leisurely voice came from below.
"I'd be overjoyed to have someone give me spirit stones for free, why would I run away?"
As the sound rang out, it drew the attention of the crowd, who automatically parted to make way for the three people who emerged. Lin Que had his hands behind his head, looking completely relaxed.
No one knows what Su Yuyan did to the girl just now. She leaned down and whispered a few words in the girl's ear, and then the girl let go of Lin Que's hand that was tightly holding hers.
This aroused Lin Que's curiosity.
It seems I can only ask after the competition is over.
"Could it be that this young man wants to compete with Medicine King Valley?"
"Wow, he's so young! What a handsome young man!"
"Look! The person next to him is actually the third young lady of the Su family!"
"It seems this is not a simple matter."
"..."
Upon seeing Lin Que's appearance, everyone started discussing it again, all wondering that someone who could have the third young lady of the Su family by his side must be extraordinary.
"Brother, do you think this person can defeat Zhang Yuanji?"
"To be honest, I don't think he has a good chance of winning, but he gives me a very special feeling."
"Hehe, since that's the case, how about we make a bet, Your Majesty?"
"I bet that older brother will win."
"Since my royal sister has said so, then I'll bet on Zhang Yuanji to win. What should the stakes be after the outcome?"
"Hehe, if you lose, I'll borrow your seven-colored glass cup to play with. If I lose, hmm~, I'll give you a surprise."
"You silly girl, I just can't do anything with you. I bet you've been eyeing my seven-colored glass lamp for a long time."
Among the crowd, two figures were making a bet with each other, a man and a woman. The man looked helpless, while the woman was short and had a sly look on her face.
The only thing they had in common was that, although their clothes were extremely ordinary, they both exuded an air of luxury.
No one dared to approach within three steps of the two men.
Zhang Yuanji looked at Lin Que and said contemptuously, "I hope you don't lose too badly later!"
Ignoring the gazes of others, Lin Que leaped onto the arena in one swift step.
He said to Zhang Yuanji, "Then you won't need to trouble yourself."
"Tell me, how do you want to compete?"
Seeing Lin Que step onto the arena, Zhang Yuanji stopped arguing and pointed to the two baskets of spiritual herbs placed on the arena, saying, "These are two portions of spiritual herbs prepared, one for each of us. In this competition, you and I will refine a second-grade pill, the Returning Origin Pill."
"Refine one batch and see whose pill success rate is higher and whose pill pattern count is greater."
Lin Que made a gesture to indicate that he was fine, and then took out the alchemy furnace he had borrowed from Su Yuyan.
Zhang Yuanji's eyes flashed with a sharp light when he saw the alchemy furnace, and he said, "Isn't this the alchemy furnace that Ding was going to sell?"
Lin Que spread his hands and said, "What can I do? I don't have a pill furnace, so I can only borrow one to refine pills for now."
"If you think this alchemy furnace is better than yours and it's unfair, we can exchange them."
Zhang Yuanji snorted and said, "No need! Anyway, after the competition, this alchemy furnace will belong to my Medicine King Valley!"
Ha, that's quite confident.
Lin Que couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't seem to care much.
The two then retrieved the spiritual herbs. Lin Que inspected them and found that there were no problems with the prepared herbs. It seemed that Medicine King Valley still cared about its reputation and would not make mistakes in this regard, providing its opponents with spiritual herbs that did not meet the requirements for refining.
That would be a disgrace to Medicine King Valley itself.
"Big brother! Look, it's Brother Lin Que!"
"It seems Brother Lin's skills are more than just this!"
"I think so too!"
It turned out that the Liu brothers, Dezhu and Dezhu, had also come to the square. When they saw that the person competing was Lin Que, they were both surprised.
After Lin Que and Zhang Yuanji were ready, the alchemy officially began.
Zhang Yuanji patted the alchemy furnace, opening the lid. He then first threw in the cockscomb grass, and then a ball of fire rose from his palm and struck the furnace.
As spiritual energy circulated, the fire gradually intensified, and impurities in the cockscomb grass were gradually removed.
Then, in the same manner, add the purple vine.
Blood-red grass...
Seven Star Flower...
Snow lotus seeds...
Each herb is first cleaned of impurities before the next one is added.
In contrast, Lin Que still looked lazy, stretching before slowly starting to move.
Lin Que slapped the alchemy furnace, opened the top, and poured a whole basket of spiritual herbs into it.
"What...what is he trying to do?!"
"Does this person know how to make pills?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Is there such a way to refine pills?"
"So you're an idiot, get down here!"
"Get off!"
"..."
Everyone who saw Lin Que's actions cursed. They had never seen anyone refine pills like this before. He poured all the spiritual herbs down. How was he supposed to remove the impurities from each herb and refine its medicinal properties?
Even Zhang Yuanji couldn't help but laugh at Lin Que when he saw him like this.
Su Yuyan frowned, feeling that Lin Que shouldn't be like this. Could it be that he really doesn't know how to refine pills?
Lin Que completely ignored this.
Lin Que closed the lid of the alchemy furnace, calmly closed his eyes, circulated his spiritual energy, and exhaled a flame from his mouth.
This flame was very different from Zhang Yuanji's; Zhang Yuanji's flame was cyan, while Lin Que's was red.
"what?!"
"It's actually the fire of the heart!"
Among the crowd, the man exuding an air of nobility muttered to himself.
At this moment, everyone's gaze became somewhat strange again. They had never seen anything like this, where spirit herbs were refined together, nor had they ever seen flames spewed from the mouth.
Lin Que formed a hand seal, and the flames he exhaled began to burn fiercely.
In an instant, the entire alchemy furnace was enveloped by this ball of inner fire.
The hand seals in Lin Que's hands kept evolving as his hand gestures changed.
Gradually, a medicinal fragrance began to permeate the arena.
This is an alchemy technique I've never seen before; it's simply unheard of!
As time went on, people's initial disdain and contempt changed.
From the current state of confusion and stagnation...
