Chapter 117

Another elder heard his words and immediately nodded in agreement, “Yes, there should be a name.”

“Then what do you think it should be called?”

“Since it’s above top-level, how about calling it above top-level?”

“No, we’d better call it the special level.” Several elders immediately gathered together and discussed eagerly.

Looking at the crowd of elders who were involved in a heated discussion on the name of a new elixir level, Situ Kong secretly rolled his eyes and thought, “I am totally speechless. What does the Spirit Recovering Elixir refined by Xi have anything to do with them? Is it necessary for them to name it?”

Looking at the elders who had a heated discussion, Yi Shusheng smiled lightly, “Guys, don’t you think that this new level should be named by the pharmacist who refined it?”

Hearing Yi Shusheng’s words, the elders immediately stopped their discussion and nodded with agreement.

“The Fifth Elder is right, the person who refined it should really be the one to name it.”

“Sorry, we were too excited just now, and forgot about the refining pharmacist who made the new level of Spirit Recovering elixir.”

“Oops, after all these talks. Who was the one that made this new level of Spirit Recovering Elixir?”

“Yes, take us to meet this expert.”

The refining pharmacist did not simply make a new level of Spirit Recovering Elixir. As a result, the creation of a new elixir level also implied the beginning of a new era in their medicine refining world. This expert had truly elevated their medicine refining level to the next height, creating a new future for their medicine refining world.

Looking at the adoring eyes of the elders, Ye Wuya’s face darkened. By contrast, Situ Kong was very happy, and his black eyes were full of pride.

However, after Yi Shusheng glanced at the eager elders, he smiled slightly and expected to see their complicated expressions later on.

“The expert who refined this new level of Spirit Recovering elixir is on the contest stage, I will go down and invite her to come up.”

As Yi Shusheng said, he flew to the bottom of the contest stage. Walking quickly to Duanmu Xi’s side, Ye Wuya bowed and said, “Please come with me. Miss.”

Facing Yi Shusheng’s sudden deference, Duanmu Xi’s purple eyes flickered slightly. What’s the matter with the Fifth Elder? Although Yi Shusheng was very polite when talking to her just now, not as respectful as he was now. Duanmu Xi was confused.

Could it be that he had known her identity? No way! The Refining Pharmacists’ Guild had always been noble and mysterious. So, her identity should not make the elders of the Refining Pharmacists’ Guild treat her so respectfully.

Duanmu Xi nodded lightly and followed Yi Shusheng onto the high platform.

When the elders on the high platform saw that Yi Shusheng had invited Duanmu Xi up, they were all stunned.

“How could it be her?”

“I couldn’t believe it’s her!”

“Isn’t she the disciple of the Chief Elder?”

Seeing all the elders with incredulous expressions, Yi Shusheng smiled slightly, “This girl is the refining pharmacist who refined the new level of Spirit Recovering Elixir.”

“It’s her. It’s amazing for her to refine the Spirit Recovering Elixir beyond top level at such a young age!”

Wu Fengsui, who was sitting aside, finally understood why Situ Kong was stalking this girl as his disciple after hearing Yi Shusheng’s words. Such a talented genius, if it were him, perhaps Wu Fengsui would have made the same decision as Situ Kong did!

Duanmu Xi frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Yi Shusheng meant by that.

Yi Shusheng looked at Duanmu Xi’s puzzled face and immediately explained, “Miss, the Spirit Recovering elixir you just refined has been confirmed to be superior to the top level, and now we would like you to give this new level a name.”

Superior to the top level? Duanmu Xi froze for a moment. She knew that the top-level elixir she refined was very special, but she did not expect it to be superior to the top-level ones.

After being stunned, Duanmu Xi calmly accepted the fact right away. She was not excited or proud when she realized that she had refined a new level of elixir, nor did she complacently agree to name the new elixir immediately.

Seeing Duanmu Xi being so calm, the elders were stunned again. What a composed girl!

Although she had refined a new level of elixir, when it came to naming… Duanmu Xi raised her head and looked at Situ Kong, hoping to get his suggestions.

Situ Kong smiled when he saw her face and nodded lightly at Duanmu Xi.

Seeing that the chief master also meant to make her name it, Duanmu Xi pondered for a while, and said to the elders, “Thanks for your care and support. I got a name, but I wonder if it is okay.”

Duanmu Xi’s humility and courtesy changed the previous impression of the elders towards her. They initially thought she was arrogant and rude. But it turned out she was not. So, the elders all smiled at her and said, “Miss, please.”

“Since it is superior to the top-level, how about we name it superior level?”

“Superior level, fantastic!”

“Superior level, great name!”

“Superior level, what an excellent idea!”

Now no matter what Duanmu Xi said, the elders would agree.

Duanmu Xi blushed because of their praises, she thought she just gave a mere suggestion. Was it necessary for them to act like this?

Situ Kong looked at the elders who were nodding their heads and said, “Well, since everyone agrees to call it the superior level, then the level above top level will be called superior level in the future.”

After that, Situ Kong turned to look at Yi Shusheng again, “Fifth Elder, announce the result!”

“Sure.”

Yi Shusheng flew directly to the contest stage, looked at the remaining refining pharmacists on stage, which was only less than half of the initial number, and said loudly, “The first round is over. For the refining pharmacists who passed this round, please come for the second round tomorrow on time.”

The first day of the contest ended finally, and the biggest winner of this first round was undoubtedly Duanmu Xi who refined the superior-level Spirit Recovering Elixir.

After the game, the elders announced the creation of a new level: superior-level elixir. The announcement of this news undoubtedly shocked the entire medicine refining world. Now all the refining pharmacists were inquiring about the news of the superior-level elixir.

The next day, Situ Kong brought Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo to the contest field early for the second round of medicine refining contest.

“Bang…”

Just like yesterday, Yi Shusheng appeared in front of the crowd after the sound of a loud bell.

“Today, we will have a group match, with 58 people divided into five groups, and the top two in each group can enter the finals. The topic of this round is a dark-grade level-five elixir: the Yang Restoring Elixir. The elixir should be at least medium-level. If your elixirs were of the same quality, we will check your refining time. And the person who is faster will be deemed as the winner. There are three copies of the materials, and the time is four hours. Those who finish medicine refining can press the red button on your medicine refining table, and the judges will check it over for you. Now, let’s begin.”

After Yi Shusheng finished speaking, he looked specifically at Duanmu Xi. The topic of today’s contest was much more difficult than that of yesterday, but he had a hunch that she would definitely nail it.

The elders on the high platform were also focusing their attention on Duanmu Xi. Indeed, today’s topic was a bit difficult for a girl at her age. Although her Spirit Recovering Elixir was refined very well yesterday, the elixir was only a yellow-grade elixir after all. However, today’s Yang Restoring Elixir was a dark-grade level-five elixir.

Back then, these elders were promoted to dark-grade refining pharmacists in their middle age. So, they doubted whether she could complete today’s topic at such a young age.

Duanmu Xi glanced at the materials on the medicine refining table: Serpentine Spiritual Gingsen, Agate Horn, Thousand Leaf Dew, Star spiritual Grass, and spiritual cores of the level-five water holy beast.

Because today’s contest also checked refining time, Duanmu Xi did not throw all three copies of materials together into the medicine tripod as she did yesterday. Instead, she took only one copy of the materials and put them into the medicine tripod for refining.

Also due to time limits, Xuanyuan Hao did not always keep his attention on Duanmu Xi today, but concentrated on controlling the flame in his medicine tripod.

When the elders on the high platform saw that Duanmu Xi put the materials into a medicine tripod for refining again, they were speechless. What is she doing?! Looking at her proficient movements and her super high-precision refinement methods, they estimated that this dark-grade elixir was probably no different from the yellow-grade elixir for her.

Sure enough, within 30 minutes, Duanmu Xi had completed the refining and began the subsequent fusion.

When a strong elixir fragrance floated from her medicine tripod, Duanmu Xi smiled lightly. She made it! When the fusion was done, with a wave of her right hand, a dark purple elixir flew directly from the medicine tripod to her palm. At this moment, only half of the time passed.

Seeing the astonishing speed of Duanmu Xi, the refining pharmacists on the stage were once again shocked.

With such a fast speed and high success rate, everyone couldn’t help but wonder, was she really only 16 years old? Duanmu Xi had probably taken the Beauty Locking Pill as the Second Elder.

Xuanyuan Hao was shocked once again. In addition to shock, he was a little ashamed. He initially thought that he was already very talented, but didn’t expect that there was someone who was more superior to him.

Duanmu Xi gently pressed the red-light button on her medicine refining table, and a judge immediately came to check it out. Once again, it was the Fifth Elder, Yi Shusheng.

When Yi Shusheng saw the Yang Restoring Elixir refined by Duanmu Xi, he admired the Chief Elder’s vision in choosing disciples again. And at the same time, he was deeply envious.

The elders were thrilled when Yi Shusheng returned to the high platform with Duanmu Xi’s elixir. Two refining pharmacists were invited to try the elixir again.

The results soon were shown and proved that Duanmu Xi’s Yang Restoring Elixir was also superior level as the Spirit Recovering Elixir she refined yesterday.

The elders were shocked ever again. They thought Duanmu Xi could only do well in the refining of yellow-grade elixir, but it turned out that she could also refine dark-grade superior-level elixir as well, which really made them feel ashamed!

Seeing the result, Ye Wuya was shocked again. If I were him, he would not be able to refine a superior-level Yang Restoring Elixir. But she did it so easily as if she was born to be able to refine the superior-level elixir. Ye Wuya couldn’t help wondering, had she really just learned medicine refining for more than a year?

Unsurprisingly, Duanmu Xi made it to the final with first place in her group.

The final was scheduled for three days later.

Because of Duanmu Xi’s outstanding performance, many refining pharmacists came to find her in these three days. But they were all turned away by the guards of Situ’s Mansion by saying that the Chief Elder had ordered that no visitor was allowed to meet Duanmu Xi in these three days.

Even though some elders kept visiting Situ’s Mansion from time to time, they had only seen Situ Kong instead of Duanmu Xi.
