Chapter 470 Vomiting Blood

"Then let's hurry up and compete!" Lu Yueshan gritted her teeth, full of Battle Intent, and directly summoned her Pill Furnace…

A cyan Pill Furnace appeared before her, looking ancient and heavy, nearly three meters tall.

"Wait, wait a moment!"

Xiao Fan was stunned. This wasn't right. Apart from the heaven mending pill, he hadn't looked at any Grade 4 Pill Formula at all. How was he supposed to compete?

"What's wrong?" Lu Yueshan paused, then mocked, "Are you afraid?!"

The gazes of the surrounding crowd gathered on Xiao Fan, waiting for what he would say next.

"I don't have enough Spiritual Plant and Spirit Medicine on me to refine a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill." Xiao Fan spoke, finding an excuse, though in reality, it was indeed the case.

Refining a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill often requires thousands of Spiritual Plant and Spirit Medicine to work in harmony, and some even require the addition of Yao Beast Essence Blood, etc…

The difficulty of refining is far beyond what a 3rd Grade Medicinal Pill can compare to.

"You…" Lu Yueshan was furious, but the other party's reason was valid.

And no one around doubted the truth of Xiao Fan's words.

After all, he was only a Level 2 Alchemist before, and it was only here in the black tower that he had advanced to Grade 4. It was not surprising that he didn't have the ingredients to refine a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill.

"Then what do you mean!" Lu Yueshan gritted her teeth in anger.

"How about this… Tomorrow at noon, you and I will have a fair competition here, how about it!" Xiao Fan suggested.

"Fine, I agree." Lu Yueshan immediately accepted.

Xiao Fan let out a breath. Having time to prepare was good; at the very least, he needed to take a few looks at a Pill Formula.

The surrounding crowd didn't feel it was a pity; it was just delaying the competition by one day.

The crowd dispersed, and Huangfu Cheng and the others also left, though he ordered the experts in the city to protect Xiao Fan in secret…

Kong Ping took Xiao Fan and the others back to their lodging and asked what Spiritual Plant and Spirit Medicine Xiao Fan needed; he could help procure them.

"Elder, I will return to my room first to study what Medicinal Pill to refine, and I will let you know once I've decided."

Xiao Fan went straight back to his room.

It was just noon, and Xiao Fan planned to go into the star chart to study some Grade 4 Pill Formula first…

Warrior Feng, who was at the lodging, was stunned…

The group of Danding Peak Disciple that returned kept muttering: Grade 6 Alchemist, Xiao Fan is awesome, and he's going to win over Lu Yueshan… What the hell is that about?

Because he was afraid of losing face and didn't want to see the faces of a bunch of Alchemist, Warrior Feng simply didn't go to the black tower and stayed at the lodging the whole time, but now he felt he seemed to have missed something.

Returning to his room, Xiao Fan entered the star chart directly…

"The heaven mending pill definitely won't work… the origin of this Pill Formula is hard to explain." Xiao Fan muttered to himself and began flipping through various ancient texts, intending to find a common, easy-to-refine Grade 4 Medicinal Pill.

"This Zhiyuan Pill is not bad…" Xiao Fan saw a Pill Formula for the Zhiyuan Pill, which required 1893 types of Materials.

For a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill, using less than two thousand types of medicinal ingredients was considered simple.

Xiao Fan decided to refine this Zhiyuan Pill.

It took him half a quarter of an hour to memorize the Zhiyuan Pill's Pill Formula. He left the star chart and then informed Kong Ping…

Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan rummaged through their Storage Pouch, provided Xiao Fan with some medicinal ingredients, and then led Xiao Fan to the medicinal ingredient shop specially supplied by the City Lord's Mansion…

Only a 3rd Grade Alchemist could enter here; it was a benefit Shengdan City gave to high-level Alchemist…

Here, the higher the Alchemist rank, the more discounts one got when buying things.

For the same eight gods spirit blood, it sold for 500,000 per drop outside Shengdan City, but a 3rd Grade Alchemist only needed 400,000 to buy it here…

After arriving at this place, Xiao Fan simply wanted to vomit blood…

He felt he had been a sucker; if he had become a Grade 4 Alchemist, the purchase price would have been 300,000.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was filled with regret. If he had known that the eight gods spirit blood was here, he should have just told Kong Ping earlier and let him buy it for him. The price was even cheaper than the Auction House…

But he was just thinking about it. After all, if he hadn't come to Shengdan City and obtained the Opportunity in the black tower, he wouldn't be able to refine the heaven mending pill today.

Time passed quickly, and in a short while, Xiao Fan had gathered the Materials. Moreover, he didn't even have to pay the Spirit Stone; Kong Ping very generously picked up the tab for him.

The next day.

The weather in Shengdan City was clear, and it was noon…

At the Sacred Pill Tower, both Xiao Fan and Lu Yueshan had arrived early. The time they had agreed upon was noon.

"Let's begin!" Xiao Fan looked at Lu Yueshan.

"Come on, watch me defeat you!" Lu Yueshan shouted angrily, and once again summoned her cyan Pill Furnace.

Xiao Fan patted his Storage Pouch, and a huge golden Pill Furnace appeared.

The xuanhuang pill furnace… an item bestowed by the black tower.

Even in the entire Wuhuang Province, it was a top-tier Pill Furnace.

Even the Pill Furnace used by Kong Ping, Huangfu Cheng, and the others might not be better than this xuanhuang pill furnace.

The number of onlookers was not small at all, even more than yesterday.

"Who will win in the end?"

"Is this Xiao Fan from the Jixian Sect going to refine a Grade 4 Medicinal Pill?!"

"It looks like it… If he really is a Grade 4 Alchemist, then wouldn't he have reached Grade 4 Alchemist at the age of twenty!"

"…"

The surrounding crowd was noisy and clamorous…

Huangfu Cheng, Kong Ping, Ling Luo, Pill Master Lu Yongzhen, Jiang Rushuang, and others stood together, watching with furrowed brows.

4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, Jiang Yushan, and dozens of other Grade 4 Alchemist in Shengdan City were also watching with furrowed brows…

They might be witnessing the birth of the youngest Grade 4 Alchemist in the history of Wuhuang Province!
