"Since we're going to learn from each other, we naturally need a referee. Who's willing to be the referee?" As soon as Gu Ding said this, many people looked eager and raised their hands to recommend themselves.

"I'll be the referee." At that moment, a middle-aged man in casual clothes suddenly appeared. Hearing this voice, everyone looked at him.

"Master Chief!" Many people cried out in surprise.

"What do you two think about letting me be the referee?" The middle-aged man who suddenly appeared was Venerable Medicine, whom Gu Ding had seen in the video projection before. However, he was dressed very casually, which was a big contrast to the way Gu Ding and the others had seen him before.

"I have no objections." Gu Ding felt that Venerable Medicine would not be biased in this matter and was more at ease with him being the referee.

"Since Master Venerable Medicine is going to be the referee, I'm relieved." Belanger's expression was still normal. Although he said that, there was not much respect in him.

"Alright, I'll set the topic. Let the medicinal herbs warehouse transfer the medicinal materials uniformly so that there won't be any difference in the materials." Venerable Medicine glanced at the set of medicine refining equipment in front of Belanger. "Belanger, since it's just a learning match, for the sake of fairness, both of you should change your equipment. Change it to the fine concoctions of our God-level pharmacologists. "

"A fine concocting set costs tens of thousands of source stones. It's enough to brew a five-star God Medicine, and it won't be difficult to brew a two-star medicine. Moreover, it's the first time both of you are using new equipment, so there won't be any difference in familiarity with the refining equipment. Once you're done, you don't have to return the equipment to me. Keep it for yourselves. You won't need it in the future, but it's good as a souvenir or something. "

As Venerable Medicine spoke, he took out two sets of equipment from his Inventory and even prepared a temporary refining bench.

"It seems like Venerable Medicine is more on your side." Neptune laughed in Gu Ding's ear.

Belanger didn't raise any objections. He simply put away his equipment with a nonchalant expression. "Alright then, since Master Venerable Medicine has said so."

"Since no one has any objections, I'll explain the rules of the match." Venerable Medicine looked like he was watching a good show and was in a very good mood.

"Everyone should know that medicine of the same star rank has different refining difficulties. It's the same for two-star God Level medicine. There are 186 types of two-star God Level medicine formulas in the human Cosmic Sea. Among them, there are 128 types of conventional medicine, 49 types of unconventional medicine, and 9 types of rare medicine. In order to increase the difficulty and scope of the assessment, we'll use a point system for this match. "

"Only when you refine perfect quality medicine will you get points. Ultimate quality medicine will you get 0 points. Those who didn't reach the Ultimate grade would be given negative marks. 'Excellent' -1 point, 'Good' -2 points, 'Pass' -3 points, 'Poor' -5 points, 'Inferior' -10 points. If the refinement fails completely or if you give up halfway, you'll lose 100 points. "

The moment Venerable Medicine announced the rules, many of the onlookers had their mouths agape.

"That's so strict. Only perfect quality can be counted as points. Anything less than ultimate quality will be counted as a negative?!"

"Venerable Master" s "Master". "Master" Ding Point system will "" the other "

"If the points are calculated this way, most people here would end up with negative points."

"One hundred and twenty-eight types of conventional medicine. The refining difficulty is divided into three levels. Everyone should be aware of this. "One hundred and twenty-eight conventional medicines are divided into three levels of difficulty. I'm sure everyone knows this. For ordinary potions of medium difficulty, one bottle of perfect quality was worth two points. As for ordinary potions of high difficulty, one bottle of perfect quality was worth three points. Refining a bottle of perfect quality medicine for an intermediate difficulty medicine is worth 2 points. Refining a bottle of perfect quality medicine for an advanced difficulty medicine is worth 3 points. Refining a bottle of perfect quality medicine for 49 types of unconventional medicine is worth 5 points.

"Of course, if you develop a new medicine or a formula that has been lost in the Cosmic Sea and you refine a perfect quality medicine, the first bottle will be worth 100 points, and each bottle after that will be worth 10 points. However, since it's a formula that has never been used before, you might need to look for the medicine ingredients, and you might not have them in stock. If you really need them, it's best to let me know now. I'll have the warehouse check and prepare in advance. "After saying this, Venerable Medicine glanced at the two of them.

However, Gu Ding and Belanger only raised their eyebrows and did not say anything.

"This Venerable Medicine is quite smart. He probably wants to see which one of you has a new formula," Neptune smiled at Gu Ding. "I have a lot of new Two-star Divine Level formulas, about two hundred of them. However, if it's not necessary, I think it's better not to reveal them."

"Alright, it seems like both of you are planning to keep your trump cards. I'll have the warehouse prepare the medicine ingredients now. If there are any medicine ingredients missing, I'll let you know later, "Venerable Medicine said as he contacted the warehouse.

After a while, the staff of the warehouse arrived at the scene. After whispering into the Honorable Medicine's ear, they passed the two Storage Rings to the Honorable Medicine.

Medicine Zun Zun lowered his head and checked the two storage rings before speaking.

"You're in luck. Only two rare medicines are missing ingredients, the transformation medicine and the Fake Death medicine. Therefore, you can directly remove these two potions from the refining plan. Come and get your materials. I've asked the warehouse to split them evenly into two portions. I've just checked, and there are no problems with the medicine. If you're worried, you can pour out all of them and compete with the other party. "

The two of them took their medicine ingredients and refining equipment and returned to their original positions.

"In that case, the time limit for the duel is three hours. After three hours, whoever has the highest total points will be the winner." Venerable Medicine gave them a time limit of three hours. He took into account that everyone would be setting off the next day and could not delay the matter for too long. However, if the time limit was too short, he felt that the two of them might not be able to perform to their heart's content and miss out on their wonderful performances.

"Are you ready? If you are, I'm going to start the countdown … Three, two, one, start! "

As soon as his voice fell, Gu Ding and Belanger moved almost at the same time.

Both of them quickly picked their medicine ingredients. Seeing that the two of them had decided on the medicine to refine first without hesitation, everyone looked over curiously. Everyone present was a pharmacologist, so it was easy for them to recognize the medicine that the two of them were going to refine.

"Gu Ding chose the Cell Enhancer. Doesn't he understand the rules?" Someone in the crowd could not help but mutter in a low voice, "The Cell Enhancer is only a medium difficulty medicine, and the refining process is more complicated than many high difficulty medicines. Choosing this medicine is a thankless task."

"Gu Ding chose this prescription on purpose. Although the refining process of the Cell Enhancer is complicated, it's the best medicine for practice. If I'm not wrong, Gu Ding hasn't refined medicine for a while. He just wants to use this prescription to awaken his pharmacologist instincts. "Someone in the crowd could see the reason for Gu Ding's choice.
