Chapter 456: Young vs. Old There was a pavilion in the medicine garden, and Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue sat there, drinking the sweet and delicious flower tea while waiting for Li Baojun to come up with the idea of ??the alchemy competition.
Chen Xiang touched Hua Xiangyue's straight and long black hair. Hua Xiangyue didn't say anything to him. She just looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes that were so charming that they could drip water. In her eyes, Chen Xiang was like a child, but sometimes he was very manly.
"Little rascal, I may have to go into seclusion for a while after I go back. If you have anything to do in the future, go find Meng'er!" Hua Xiangyue said.
Shen Xiang wanted to give Hua Xiangyue some medicinal materials for the Life-Restoring Pill and a Fortune Fruit. He asked, "How long will you be in seclusion? What if I have something important to find you for?"
"Come directly to Danxiang Taoyuan. When the time comes, you can find me directly in the forbidden area of ??Danxiang Taoyuan. You can only enter there with my permission!" Hua Xiangyue took out a white bead and handed it to Shen Xiang.
"When the time comes, you can take out this bead and enter safely! Also, after you come in, it's best not to yell loudly. I will know if someone comes in." Hua Xiangyue said.
Shen Xiang nodded, took the bead and played with it.
"Senior Li, you have been guarding this medicine garden, so you should have obtained a lot of spiritual medicines." Shen Xiang shouted towards a pond not far away. Li Baojun was sitting there thinking about something.
Li Baojun said: "Of course, many spiritual herbs are ripe, I can only pick them and continue to plant them, but most of them are low-level spiritual herbs."
"Boy, don't bother me, you should adjust your state!"
Shen Xiang curled his lips and continued to play with Hua Xiangyue's smooth ponytail, because the faint fragrance wafting from it was very strong.
"Sister Xiangyue, why do you have such a pleasant fragrance? Is it natural?" Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Your blood is also fragrant." S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Hua Xiangyue twisted his arm and said, "Don't mention that again."
Thinking of the embarrassing thing about Shen Xiang lying on her chest and sucking her blood, her cheeks turned slightly red, which made Shen Xiang laugh.
"You smell so good. If I hold you in my arms while sleeping, I will definitely sleep soundly." Shen Xiang was thinking wildly, which caused Hua Xiangyue to hit him on the head again.
Li Baojun couldn't stand it anymore. This handsome man and beautiful woman were flirting in front of him, which made it impossible for him to calm down. What he couldn't understand was why such an outstanding woman like Hua Xiangyue would get involved with such a little brat.
"Be quiet!" Li Baojun said.
"It's boring to think of a way to compete for so long." Shen Xiang snorted, which made Li Baojun secretly disgusted. He felt that he could not hold back and had to teach this little brat Shen Xiang a lesson.
Chen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue waited for more than an hour before Li Baojun said loudly: "I've made up my mind, come here!"
After they passed by, Li Baojun said, "You can only refine low-grade Xuan-level pills at best, so this took me a lot of thought."
"Right now I can only think of two matches. If we finish two matches, we will need a third one. I will think about it then."
Chen Xiang said with disdain: "You've been thinking about it for so long, and there are only two games?"
"It's a best-of-three game. If I win two games in a row, then I win, and I don't have to think about the content of the third game," said Li Baojun.
"You are so bad!" Shen Xiang was speechless.
Li Baojun said: "The content of the competition is not complicated, it is very simple! The first round is to compete in refining a low-grade Xuan-level pill. See who can refine it faster and refine it at a higher grade. This can show an alchemist's level of refining a pill."
"Let's compete in refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill. I have quite a few of these herbs here, and they are also relatively difficult to refine among the lower-grade Xuan-level pills! But this is a disadvantage for you, because I am a high-level alchemist, so it is best to let this girl compete with me. Anyway, it's up to you two to decide who wants to fight."
Li Baojun thought that if Shen Xiang competed with him, it would be a great insult to him. Seeing the disdain in his eyes, Shen Xiang secretly swore that he would make this ignorant old man lose miserably.
"I have forty sets of medicinal materials for the Five Elements True Essence Pill. Just leave them here until they are refined, and then the first match will be over.
The rule is this: we use 40 portions of medicinal materials at the same time. If your refining speed is not as fast as mine, you will definitely choke less than me in the end. In other words, if I am fast, I can refine 30 or 35 portions. "Li Baojun said.
This made Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue secretly laugh in their hearts. When they heard the rules, they knew that the winner had been decided. They also despised Li Baojun at the same time. If they were alchemists of the same level, this method would indeed be fair.
But when a high-level alchemist competes with a low-level alchemist, the high-level alchemist will definitely have the advantage because he is faster and can refine more products.
Of course, Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue both understood that Li Baojun wanted Hua Xiangyue to take action.
"Don't you have any questions?" Li Baojun asked.
"No problem!" Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue answered at the same time. It would be strange if there was a problem. If it was any other low-level alchemist, they would have definitely lost. But Shen Xiang was different. Even Hua Xiangyue thought that she could not beat Shen Xiang.
"What about the second game?" Hua Xiangyue asked.
"The second round is to refine the three most common low-grade Xuan-level pills. They will be judged from a comprehensive perspective, such as the quality of the pills, the speed of refining the pills, and the number of pills produced. We alchemists are all aware of this. When the time comes, we just need to admit defeat consciously." Li Baojun said, "Is this okay for you?"
Shen Xiang and Hua Xiangyue both shook their heads. They were secretly happy in their hearts because Shen Xiang was very confident of winning two games in a row.
"Old man, you are bound to lose!" Shen Xiang thought to himself.
Li Baojun took out forty portions of medicinal materials for refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill and placed them in a basket. They were all in a mess. If one wanted to take them, one had to choose from them oneself, and there were also many medicinal materials of poor quality.
"Now let's all pick one of each and start refining the elixir at the same time! Have you decided who will compete with me?" Li Baojun asked.
"I'll do it!" Shen Xiang said
Li Baojun frowned and looked at Hua Xiangyue, but saw that Hua Xiangyue didn't react at all.
"Alas, it's not a good thing for young people to be too competitive!" Li Baojun shook his head and said with some disappointment.
Shen Xiang really wanted to say: It is not a good thing for an old man to look down on others too much.
Li Baojun and Shen Xiang began to select medicinal materials from the basket. They picked the good ones first. If the refining speed was fast, they could all pick the good ones, and the bad ones would be left for the slower one.
After making the selection, the next step is to check the alchemy furnaces of both parties.
"We can start now! Little guy, work hard!" Li Baojun laughed contemptuously, looking down on Shen Xiang very much.
Shen Xiang didn't take it to heart and began to sort the medicinal materials.
