Ch194 - One Additional Match

Edited by Zaki

Seeing that Liu Mufeng had already started refining, the ten challengers were all stunned in their places. Because they didn’t know how to start refining. In other words, they simply didn’t know how to use eleven spiritual plants to refine the pill that requires fifteen spiritual plants and refine successfully.

Seeing that the ten people didn’t move for a while, the Officiating Elder frowned. “Let me say the rules again, the alchemy competition is time-limited. After Liu Mufeng who had been challenged has completed refining, within an hour, if the challenger fails to refine a pill, it will be regarded as a failure. Each person has three chances, and if he fails to refine a pill within the three chances, then that is also considered as a failure.”

Hearing the words of the Officiating Elder, the faces of the ten people were extremely ugly. That was to say, after Liu Mufeng successfully refined a pill, the timer would start, and if they couldn’t refine a pill within an hour, they would fail. This, this rule was too strict, wasn’t it?

Unconsciously clenching his fists, Song Mo also had a look of despair, let alone an hour, even if he was given three days and three nights, he couldn’t figure out how to use eleven spiritual plants to refine the Red Cloud Pill.

“Song Mo, Green Tobacco, Azure Flower, White Silk Wood. Hurry up and start refining.”

Hearing an unfamiliar voice transmission addressed to him, Song Mo was stunned. But he immediately guessed that this person must be Liu Mufeng’s enemy. After thinking about the three kinds of spiritual plants that the other party told him, Song Mo decided to take a gamble. Anyway, he couldn’t think of it himself, so he could only make this last attempt.

Seeing that Song Mo took out the three kinds of spiritual plants he had transmitted and had already taken out the pill furnace and started the refining process, Zhang Hao couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth and thought to himself,‘Liu Mufeng, just wait to get out of the Pill Peak. Haven’t you looked in the mirror and seen what you are? A country bumpkin from a low-level contient, actually dared to compete with us for Master’s attention? It was simply not knowing your own place.

Sitting next to Zhang Hao, Lin Yu felt Zhang Hao’s voice transmission, and also saw that a challenger in the challenge area had already started refining pills. Seeing someone concocting alchemy, Lin Yu unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth and showed a smug smile. ‘Great, Liu Mu Feng will soon be gone. I hope this Song Mo is worthy and not so useless. Hopefully he could refine a Red Cloud Pill.’

‘Liu Mufeng, you hillbilly, you bastard, why are you so favored by Master? What right do you have to live in the Master’s Palace? On what grounds? Why?’Thinking of Master’s kindness to Liu Mufeng, Lin Yu became extremely jealous and hateful. She was obviously a native cultivator from the Zunhuang Continent, and she was the one who entered the Pill Peak first, but her Master’s eyes only had Liu Mufeng, only Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng was the first to finish, with six finished pills, four of them were top grade, and two were mid grade. The medicinal pills were sent to the Third Elder, the Ninth Elder, and the Eighteen Elder for inspection.

“En, yes, yes, it is indeed a Red Cloud Pill, it is indeed a Red Cloud Pill.” Nodding, the Ninth Elder repeatedly confirmed in amazement.

“I really didn’t expect that Nephew Liu’s alchemy skills were so powerful that he could actually refine the Red Cloud Pill with only eleven kinds of spiritual plants. It’s really not easy.” With a smile, the Eighteenth Elder also praised profusely.

“This round is considered a draw, and there will be another match in an hour.” Looking at the Officiating Elder, the Third Elder said.

“Okay.” Nodding, the Officiating Elder publicly announced a draw.

Hearing this result, Song Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his seat. He was from the Spiritual Plant Garden, and his seat was next to Ma Ming.

Seeing Song Mo coming back, Ma Ming looked at him and said, “Well done.”

“Many thanks, Senior Brother Ma!” Looking at Ma Ming, Song Mo immediately thanked him. He knew that it was impossible for someone to tell him how to refine the pill for no reason. Ma Ming must have secretly found someone to help him. It must be Ma Ming, just half a month ago, Ma Ming specially found him, gave him a bottle of soul nourishing water to improve his soul power, and told him he would help him win the competition against Liu Mufeng.

If it weren’t for Ma Ming’s help, his soul power wouldn’t have improved so fast, and he wouldn’t have been able to tie with Liu Mufeng today. It was just that Song Mo was very puzzled. How did Ma Ming know that Liu Mufeng would choose him? You must know that there were more than 1,000 people who had sent challenge letters to Liu Mufeng, and the chance of being selected was not high. But for some unknown reason, Ma Ming was able to get the news in advance to help him improve his soul power, and even found someone to help him secretly, which made Song Mo very confused.

“You don’t need to think too much, adjust to the best state and prepare for the next challenge.” Ma Ming gave Song Mo a small bottle.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ma.” Song Mo took the bottle and smelled it, and found that there was spiritual water in the bottle. Looking up, he drank the spiritual water in one gulp and began to adjust his state to get ready for the next match.

Sitting beside his lover, looking at his lover who was resting his eyes, Jiang Xu stared around with a wary face and was helping to protect his lover.

Sitting in his seat, the Third Elder’s face was slightly gloomy, and he glanced at his disciples under the stand from time to time.

——————————————–

An hour later…

The nine challengers who failed to refine the Red Cloud Pill were ruthlessly eliminated. Only Liu Mufeng and Song Mo were left on the stage. Liu Mufeng was still standing in the ring, while Song Mo was still standing in the challenge area. Since the challenge area only had him, it was very spacious.

“Second question, use nine different ingredients, whether they are spiritual plants, spiritual flowers, or spiritual fruits to refine the Red Cloud Pill. You can’t repeat any of the spiritual plants you’ve used before. You can’t use the spiritual plant your opponent has used. Prepare your own spiritual plants and the refined pill will belong to you.” In order to guard against the manipulation of the Ma family’s Elder and Grandson, the Third Elder asked the two people to prepare their own spiritual plants to refine the medicinal pills.

“Nine, nine kinds of spiritual plants!” Hearing this, Song Mo had cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn’t even refine a pill with eleven kinds of spiritual plants, let alone nine kinds of spiritual plants. This, how could this be done?

“Yes, Master.” In response, Liu Mu calmly sat down, took out his pill furnace and spiritual plants, and began to process the spiritual plants to prepare for alchemy.

With a wave of his hand, the Third Elder placed another protective barrier around Liu Mufeng, covering Liu Mufeng in it. He was worried that someone would attempt to sabotage Mufeng’s alchemy.

“This, this…” Seeing that Liu Mufeng had already started to deal with the spiritual plants, Song Mo was dumbfounded. He had seen the nine kinds of spiritual plants on Liu Mufeng’s table, and out of the nine, he only knew two kinds of spiritual plants, the other seven, he had no idea what kind of spiritual plants they were at all. Although the Officiating Elder reported the names of the spiritual plants one by one, he simply couldn’t match the name with the order of the spiritual plants, and he didn’t even know which one was which, let alone any understanding of their medicinal properties.

Sitting on the seat, Zhang Hao thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t think of a way to deal with it. Turning his head to the side, he looked at the Fourth Senior Sister who was sitting beside him. Under Zhang Hao’s gaze, Lin Yu shook her head helplessly. She couldn’t figure out how to use nine kinds of spiritual plants to refine the Red Cloud Pill.

Seeing that Lin Yu was helpless, Zhang Hao looked at the Third Senior Brother Gong Rui. Gong Rui also shook his head, saying that he didn’t know either.

“Second Senior Brother, do you know what kind of spiritual plant to use?” Looking at his Second Senior Brother Qiao Yu, Zhang Hao sent a voice transmission to the other party.

Glancing at Zhang Hao, Qiao Yu ignored him. In fact, he didn’t know what to do either. He only knew five kinds of spiritual plants that Liu Mufeng took out, and he didn’t know any of the remaining four kinds. However, even if he knew how to refine the pill using 9 ingredients, he would not tell Zhang Hao, because he was not as stupid as Zhang Hao, and dared to play tricks under the eyes of the Master. Wasn’t this courting death?

Looking at Liu Mufeng, who was concocting alchemy on the stage, Song Mo was feeling anxious, but after waiting for a long time, he never received the voice transmission again which made him even more helpless.

Looking at Liu Mufeng, who was calmly sitting on the stage and refining the pills with skillful techniques and quick movements, the Ninth Elder smiled and praised,”Third Senior Brother, you have a good disciple.”

“Yes, Third Senior Brother. Nephew Liu is indeed an alchemy genius.” Seeing that the other party actually took out three kinds of spiritual plants which he did not know could be used to refine the Red Cloud Pill, the Eighteenth Elder had to say that Liu Mufeng was not so simple.

Looking at the two Elders, the Third Elder’s lips hooked up, revealing a faint smile.

Soon, Liu Mufeng’s medicinal pill refining was completed. Even this time there were six pills, four high-grade and two mid-grade. After handing the medicinal pill to the Officiating Elder, Liu Mufeng walked off the stage and sat on his chair.

From the moment Liu Mufeng stepped off the ring, the Officiating Elder started timing. On the other side, the three Elders were all examining Liu Mufeng’s medicinal pills, and even the other Elders took the medicinal pills to check them out of curiosity.

“I didn’t expect that nine kinds of spiritual plants could be used to refine the Red Cloud Pill. It seems that there would be no need to wastefully use fifteen spiritual plants in the future.”

“En, Liu Mufeng has done a good job, done a good job.”

“Third Elder, the Red Cloud Pill made from these nine spiritual plants is worth promoting in the sect.” Looking at the Third Elder, the Sect Master said.

“You have to ask Mufeng about this, the pill recipe belongs to Mufeng.” Looking at the Sect Master, the Third Elder said.

“Okay, let’s talk about this after the match.” Nodding, the Sect Master already understood what the Third Elder meant.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, Song Mo looked at Ma Ming who was on the viewing seat in a panic, and Ma Ming’s face at this moment was also very ugly. Obviously, there was no way for him to help. If he had a way to tell Song Mo, he would have told long ago, why would he hide it?

Sitting on the viewing platform, looking at Song Mo standing in the challenge area, Liu Mufeng smiled coldly. He had already guessed that Song Mo was from Ma Ming’s faction, but what Liu Mufeng couldn’t figure out was how he had cleared the first match? Logically speaking, it was impossible for Song Mo to have skills to use eleven kinds of spiritual plants to refine the Red Cloud Pill, right? It wasn’t that Liu Mufeng underestimated Song Mo. But Liu Mufeng himself had tried many times, so he understood how hard it was to change the pill recipe.
