Artifact Alchemy Furnace

Azure Flame stood on the competition stage, watching his former proud Disciple now bowing and scraping to others, and felt a bitter taste in his heart.

This time, Qin Ming and the Pill Alliance leader had already made an agreement not to mention their master-Disciple relationship or their past grievances, but simply to have a competition.

This was also a prerequisite for the competition; if their previous grievances were known to Ordinary Martial Artists, it would have a significant impact on the reputation of the Pill Alliance.

As Jue Xin walked onto the competition stage, the referee shouted loudly: "The match begins."

"I never thought that one day I would compete against you." Standing on the competition stage and ready to start the match, Azure Flame instead let go of his hatred and said calmly.

Jue Xin looked at Azure Flame with complex eyes; this was his former master, who had personally guided him into the world of Alchemy.

"Come on! Let's see if your Alchemy has improved during this time." Azure Flame took out an alchemy furnace and placed it on the ground.

This was an ordinary alchemy furnace, as tall as a person, with ordinary patterns and ordinary decorations; it did not match this high-level competition at all.

Ever since Azure Flame lost his divine artifact alchemy furnace, and in order to deliberately temper his Alchemy skills, he had been using an ordinary alchemy furnace.

When the competition arrived, he realized that he didn't have a decent alchemy furnace at all.

If he were to find a good alchemy furnace at the last minute, he would not be familiar with it and it wouldn't be easy to use. It would be better to just use the alchemy furnace he used regularly.

"Isn't that the most ordinary stone alchemy furnace? I have one like that, and mine is even better than his." An Ordinary Martial Artist exclaimed.

"Could it be that the old man is not a Great Master of Alchemy at all, but just a front for the Huayu Sect, sent to deliberately concede?" Someone started to speculate.

At this moment, Jue Xin also took out an alchemy furnace from his space ring.

His alchemy furnace was very small, only the size of a fist. He tossed it into the air, and the fist-sized alchemy furnace grew rapidly, instantly becoming the same size as Azure Flame's alchemy furnace.

"A Divine Artifact, a divine artifact alchemy furnace!" Exclamations came from below the stage.

"This is a Divine Artifact! And a divine artifact alchemy furnace at that! This is truly an eye-opener; coming to watch this was definitely the right choice." A Martial Artist looked at the divine artifact alchemy furnace and shouted excitedly.

"The old man is bound to lose this competition. This is a divine artifact alchemy furnace; it provides a lot of bonuses to an alchemist's Alchemy." Many people started to lose faith in Azure Flame.

The moment Qin Ming saw the divine artifact alchemy furnace, his expression became somewhat ugly.

"Doesn't this count as a violation? This is the wager for the competition; how can it appear on the competition stage?"

"Of course it doesn't count as a violation. You didn't specify that the wager couldn't be used in the competition, did you?" Zhang Chongtian said triumphantly, looking at Qin Ming with contempt.

Qin Ming ignored Zhang Chongtian and looked at the referee instead.

The referee turned around and nodded: "That is indeed the logic. Since there is no written rule stating it cannot be used, this does not count as a violation."

Qin Ming was a bit angry and said: "I want to verify the wager. I suspect they haven't prepared those one hundred ninth-grade spirit plants at all."

"Hahaha…" Seeing Qin Ming's exasperated look, Zhang Chongtian laughed, "Of course we prepared them. How about we both hand the wagers over to the referee?"

"Fine." Qin Ming nodded and directly took out a space ring, "These are the land deeds for the Huayu Sect." He then looked at Zhang Chongtian and asked: "What about yours?"

Zhang Chongtian had not expected Qin Ming to be so straightforward. He was somewhat reluctant to give the spirit plants to the referee; these were what their Pill Alliance had collected over the years.

He also knew that if he didn't give them, Qin Ming would certainly not be willing to proceed.

Thinking that he couldn't possibly lose the competition, Zhang Chongtian gritted his teeth and handed a space ring to the referee: "You must keep this safe. If there is any damage or loss, you won't be able to afford the compensation."

The referee carefully took the space rings from both of them, checked them, and after confirming there were no issues, put them away carefully.

As for the words of the Pill Alliance leader, he didn't care at all. He was a member of the Great Xia Dynasty Royal Family, and the Pill Alliance had no authority over him.
