Chapter 65: Messy Medicinal Pills

Ji Wu watched Qin Ming's Pill Refining Method and couldn't help but feel relieved.

He had been very worried at first; although he had a prepared secret weapon, it wasn't foolproof.

After all, Qin Ming's master was a Grand Alchemist, far more formidable than his own master.

Ji Wu wiped his sweat, his heart calming down, and his hand movements became smoother.

"Ji Wu is doing well. Looking at his Alchemy, I believe he will definitely succeed in a single batch this time!"

The Chen Family Head saw Ji Wu's state and couldn't help but feel at ease.

"Not bad! Ji Wu is not bad!" The City Lord also nodded and said.

Qin Ming waited until the temperature in the Pill Furnace rose, then began to shake the furnace; the massive cauldron let out 'ping ping' sounds from his shaking.

"Impressive! Look at Qin Ming's posture; it's as if he's refining an incredible Medicinal Pill. His face isn't red, he's not sweating, and his expression is calm. He's nothing like Ji Wu, who looks like he was just fished out of the water."

A large man standing below the stage said, his tone clearly indicating satisfaction with Qin Ming's Alchemy.

"Tch." A young man dressed like a scholar said disdainfully:

"What do you know? Alchemy doesn't involve shaking the Pill Furnace. Ji Wu's way of refining is normal. What Qin Ming is doing isn't Alchemy; it's cooking."

The large man glanced at the scholar and said:

"I don't know? I know that Ji Wu's Alchemy has no Aura at all, while Qin Ming's Alchemy at least completely suppresses Ji Wu in terms of Aura."

Aura? The scholar was speechless.

What does Alchemy need Aura for? This isn't a fight.

"Condense!" Qin Ming and Ji Wu shouted almost simultaneously.

Ji Wu looked at Qin Ming and said:

"What, you finished refining so quickly too? You didn't fail to form a pill, did you? Should I wait for you a bit longer?"

"No need!" Qin Ming said expressionlessly.

At this time, the referee walked between them.

"Are you both finished? Does anyone want to continue refining?"

Since the one-hour limit hadn't been reached, they could choose to continue refining.

"No need," Qin Ming and Ji Wu replied.

The referee nodded and said:

"In that case, begin exchanging your Medicinal Pills!"

Ji Wu gave a cold smile and opened his hand to reveal his pill.

"Green Snake Poison Pill!"

An exclamation came from the crowd.

"What is a Green Snake Poison Pill?"

"You don't know the Green Snake Poison Pill? It's one of the more famous ones among Grade One pills.

Its formula includes a spirit plant called Green Snake Grass. Taking this pill is like being poisoned by a Grade One Green Snake, which is why it's so famous."

"It's the kind of green snake venom that kills a person in half an hour without an antidote. A Martial Apprentice will basically die if bitten, and there's no cure unless you can use the green snake's gall as an antidote."

"So, Qin Ming is in danger. At the very least, there shouldn't be an antidote among Grade One pills."

Qin Ming just smiled when he saw this poison pill and also opened his hand to reveal his own.

Qin Ming's pill was partly white, partly black, and partly red—a complete mess that didn't look like a Medicinal Pill at all.

"What is this?" Ji Wu asked, seeing this strange pill.

Qin Ming looked at Ji Wu with ill intent and said:

"Just eat it; why do you care what it is!"

"Humph, Qin Ming, today is the day you die. What do you have to be so arrogant about? I'm waiting to see you kneel and beg for mercy!"

Ji Wu couldn't help but snap back upon hearing Qin Ming's mockery.

He got angry whenever he heard Qin Ming speak; besides, the pill Qin Ming refined was so ugly.
