Chapter 667

"New prescriptions?" Venerable Master Medicine's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Alright, give me the prescriptions. I'll get someone to prepare them."

"Gu Ding, let's use the new prescriptions as well. The new prescriptions cost 100 points per refinement, and there's less than half an hour left. If our points are overtaken, it'll be hard to catch up," Neptune suggested.

"Alright then." Gu Ding immediately shouted at Venerable Master Medicine, "Sir Venerable Master Medicine, I want to use the new prescriptions too!"

In fact, the two of them using the new prescriptions was surprising, but it was also within everyone's expectations. From everyone's point of view, it was impossible for someone like Gu Ding and Belanger to not have inherited a powerful pharmacologist's legacy. That was because the level of their pharmacologists was not something that could be achieved through individual cultivation.

Receiving a legacy meant that they must have obtained some exclusive medicine prescriptions from their master. This was also why Venerable Master Medicine had proposed the new prescriptions' point rules from the beginning. He had predicted the possible direction of this duel from the beginning.

"Sir Venerable Master Medicine, I have five new prescriptions. Help me prepare them." Belanger glared at Gu Ding as he spoke. His eyes were clearly saying, "You're still too young to fight me, you're too young."

"Sir Venerable Master Medicine, I have five new prescriptions as well. Help me prepare them too," Gu Ding said, unwilling to be outdone. Of course, he knew what Belanger was planning. One successful refinement of a new medicine would be worth 100 points. Five consecutive successes would be worth 500 points. That way, Gu Ding would be able to leave Belanger far behind. However, what Belanger did not expect was that when it came to the types of new medicine prescriptions, Neptune's inventory was much more than what he had.

"Hmph, I have more than ten new prescriptions in my hands. It's enough to finish the refinement in the last half an hour. I don't believe you have more prescriptions than me." Belanger looked at Gu Ding with disdain. He did not think that Gu Ding's knowledge could compare to his.

'I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint this guy.' Gu Ding laughed in his heart.

Soon, the medicine materials for the five new prescriptions given by Gu Ding were completed. However, only three of the five prescriptions given by Belanger were completed, and the materials for the other two prescriptions were lacking.

After learning about this, Belanger thought that Gu Ding was just lucky. However, he did not expect that because the Sea Emperor had too many new prescriptions in his hands, he deliberately chose those that did not have any special medicinal herbs when he was making his choice. This was to avoid wasting time changing prescriptions.

After obtaining the herbs, Gu Ding raised his eyebrows provocatively at Belanger, who had an unfriendly look on his face. Then, he immediately immersed himself in refining the new prescription, causing Belanger to grit his teeth in hatred.

Gu Ding's refining speed finally slowed down as he refined the new medicinal herbs. This was because only perfect quality medicine would be counted as points. If he did not refine it well, points would be deducted. However, the new prescriptions in Neptune's hands were not new to Gu Ding. He had a habit of refining all the prescriptions of that level at least once every time he reached a pharmacologist level, until he could refine a bottle of perfect quality medicine.

With the relevant experience, Gu Ding's refinement was not difficult. Many pharmacologists could tell at a glance. However, the use of new tools made the refining process slightly different from before.

For the first bottle of new medicine, Gu Ding chose the epidermal strengthening medicine. The medicine was only suitable for physical cultivators. It could increase the physical defense strength of the body by two small ranks. It was a commonly used medicine in ancient times. However, in this era, its use was very limited because there were too few physical cultivators.

Gu Ding took more than six minutes to refine this medicine. On the other side, Belanger also finished refining another new type of medicine right after him.

After that, the two of them began refining the second new type of medicine. It was still perfect quality, and the time taken to complete it was still less than a minute.

Belanger finally managed to gather five of the medicinal herbs he had replaced.

The two of them continued with the third and fourth medicine. At this point, there were less than five minutes left until the end of the sparring session.

Belanger finished even later. When he looked at the time and saw that Gu Ding had just prepared the medicinal herbs and was already refining, he smiled sinisterly. "Sir Medicine Supremacy, I'm done refining."

Belanger immediately gave up on refining the fifth medicine. One reason was that he knew he could not complete it. Based on Gu Ding's previous refining speed, he guessed that Gu Ding would not be able to complete it either. If the refinement could not be completed or the refinement failed, 100 points would be deducted instead. Gu Ding only had 54 points more than him. If the refinement failed, it would be his win. Therefore, he chose to watch from the sidelines.

Many of the onlookers saw that Gu Ding had already started refining and felt that it was a pity. They had also seen that Gu Ding's previous refinements basically took about six minutes and thirty seconds, and the fastest was not even six minutes. Now that there were less than five minutes left, it was naturally impossible for him to complete the refinement.

When he heard Belanger say that the refining was complete, Gu Ding grinned at Belanger after he had prepared the materials. Then, he started refining with both hands at a terrifying speed, almost twice as fast as before. Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched.

Three minutes and fifty-six seconds was the time it took for Gu Ding to finish refining the last bottle of medicine. When the crowd saw the golden liquid wash in the medicine bottle and emit a beautiful luster, they were a little stunned.

"Sir Medicine Supremacy, I'm done refining." Gu Ding finally handed the last bottle of medicine to Venerable Medicine Supremacy.

After a round of inspection, Venerable Medicine Supremacy nodded in satisfaction. "It is indeed of perfect quality. So, I now announce that Gu Ding's final points are 1234 points, and Belanger's final points are 1080 points. The winner of this competition is the pharmacologist, Gu Ding! "

A hint of darkness flashed in Belanger's eyes before he smiled. "Congratulations, Gu Ding."

"Don't forget what you promised me." Gu Ding was not in the mood to accept everyone's congratulations. To him, this was just a small competition. Winning was no big deal. He was more concerned about Huck's safety.

"Don't worry. I, Belanger, will naturally do what I promised." With that, Belanger turned and left. He did not even take the refining tools that Venerable Medicine Supremacy had given him, nor did he take the medicine that he had refined.

"What a waste …" Gu Ding shamelessly pocketed the two refining tools, the makeshift refining table, and all the medicine. He did not even let go of the extra herbs.

Venerable Medicine Supremacy, on the other hand, pretended not to see anything as he continued to say 'encouraging' pleasantries.

"This competition can be said to be very exciting. It's unprecedented! Although Mr. Belanger lost, the success rate of the perfect quality medicine that he refined was as high as 100%. That's quite an impressive result. As for Gu Ding, it's even more difficult. He's only a two-star God-Level pharmacologist. There's still a lot of room for him to grow. With such high standards, everyone should learn from these two genius pharmacologists … "
