Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Comparing to Others, People Can Be Annoying! _1

Qin Changqing gently patted his clothes.

He had the heart of a fierce tiger, a sense of pride, and a disdainful arrogance towards everyone.

This was the influence of the Overlord Sword Intent; a king should naturally stand tall and upright.

Of course, he was proud, but he knew better than to joke around with his life and was well aware of how to act without dying.

“Me? I’m just a humble master of a seventh-ranked family.” Qin Changqing looked around,

“Who else is coming? If no one is coming, I’ll keep pretending to be superior.”

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

Nobody dared to step forward rashly.

“Everyone.” At this time, Zhuge Wanqing finally spoke.

The scene quieted down.

“Everyone, please calm down. Actually, Qin family’s master and I had an agreement long ago.” Zhuge Wanqing looked at Qin Changqing hesitantly and said, “Master Qin, your friend, who exactly is...”

“Oh, he suddenly couldn’t make it and asked me to compare with you instead.”

Qin Changqing laughed, “Don’t worry, I know a little bit about alchemy.”

“But... ”

“The bet still stands.”

Zhuge Wanqing fell silent.

She felt that the friend Qin Changqing spoke of might be himself.

However, even so, she wasn’t afraid.

After all, she was absolutely certain she wouldn’t lose.

“Be careful of his tricks.” The old woman beside Zhuge Wanqing whispered, “This young man is very cunning and not one to suffer losses. Why don’t we wait for me to investigate thoroughly and find another opportunity to compare?”

Zhuge Wanqing shook her head gently: “No. He challenged me so openly and used the opportunity of the Alchemy Convention. If I refuse, not only will the sect’s reputation be affected, but I’m afraid that the previous agreement between us will also change.”

A conspiracy?

She wasn’t afraid of it.

Zhuge Wanqing walked towards the square.

“Is it unexpected?” As Zhuge Wanqing passed by Li Ruoyu, the latter suddenly spoke, “The alchemist you’ve been searching for with great effort may be right in front of you. I hope you don’t capsize in the gutter, Senior Sister.”

“What about you, Junior Sister? You were also shaken by Qin Changqing’s words and used your full strength in such a small competition... Well, I’m not much better, but don’t think about taking the Qin family’s alchemy technique.”

When she saw the Musshu Vine, the Soul Merging Elixir also crossed her mind.

“Could it be that simple? Or is there a hidden trick? But it seems that in Tier 4 elixirs, only the Soul Merging Elixir uses the Musshu Vine... That’s right, the fact that Qin Changqing can actually refine a Tier 4 elixir is already astonishing enough. Even if it’s the worst Tier 4 elixir, it’s still Tier 4.”

Zhuge Wanqing believed that as long as Qin Changqing could refine the Soul Merging Elixir, it would be the greatest victory.

But it was still unlikely to surpass her.

As she pondered, Zhuge Wanqing successively threw several spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace.

Refining spiritual herbs was to remove impurities, making this step extremely important. There was a mutual growth and restraint relationship among medicines. So, it was strictly regulated which spiritual herb extracts should be merged first and which should be merged afterwards.

Generally, alchemists followed a specific order when merging herb extracts into the furnace.

Zhuge Wanqing’s simultaneous refining of several types showed her great confidence in her fire control skills.

At this moment.

As soon as the spiritual herbs entered the furnace, they were immediately separated into several groups wrapped in flames.

Each flame group was refining a spiritual herb, slowly melting it into liquid.

“Flame Lotus Fruit, Thousand-year Spirit Vine, Bainian Mountain, Formless

Lotus... Gosh! Saintess Zhuge is trying to refine the Mysterious Spirit Elixir!” “Isn’t that one of the best elixirs among Tier 4 Lower-level elixirs?”

“Saintess Zhuge’s alchemy level is almost approaching Tier 4 Mid-level. It seems that the rumors about her breakthrough to Tier 4 not long ago are false.”

“But she’s revealing her skills here, obviously out of fear of losing to Qin Changqing. ”

“How on earth did Qin Changqing cultivate? Didn’t he marry so many wives?”

He also had so many children. How did he manage to become a Tier 4 alchemist while being so busy?”

“My horse wish I knew too. I am 101 years old, and am still a Tier 2 Alchemist.” “Comparing yourself to others will only leave you disheartened!”

It has been said that watching others make money is even harder than losing money yourself. The alchemists were experiencing this right now.

Their natural hope was to see Qin Changqing fall flat on his face as he scolded them.

But the more enraged they were, the more they watched Qin Changqing refining spiritual herbs at a relaxed pace. That level of fire control would probably be beyond them forever, which only angered them further.

And so, they all fell silent of their own accord.

After all, competitions between high-level alchemists were not something you could see every day.

The alchemy contest continued.

Zhuge Wanqing felt that something was amiss.

She knew about the Soul Merging Elixir and had refined it several times before.

Qin Changqing’s initial elixir ingredients were the same as the Soul Merging Elixir, but halfway through, they changed.

And it changed so much that she couldn’t recognize it at all..
