Chapter 682: Chapter 679: Let the Competition Begin_1

For him, this was the most helpless thing, as Li Ruoxiang still thought he didn’t know alchemy.

Is it that he looks so ignorant of the profession?

It should be, irrational.

He didn’t particularly like others saying he didn’t know alchemy, because it involved the dignity of an alchemist, especially one like him, who spent his entire previous life studying alchemy. Few people had as deep feelings for alchemy as Yang Chen.

It was for this reason that he often showed unparalleled confidence in other people in the field of alchemy.

Li Ruoxiang listened to Yang Chen’s self-confident sound transmission, hesitating about his confidence. She was well aware that Yang Chen was a very talented genius martial artist, but she didn’t think he had a deep understanding of alchemy.

However, she had no other choice than to give it a try.

Soon, she sent a transmission, instructing: “Mu Xue, go to Yang Chen. He will tell you how to win against Luo Jin.”

The disciple named Mu Xue was puzzled by Li Ruoxiang’s sound transmission but still obediently went to Yang Chen’s side.

“Great Elder, please wait for a moment!” Li Ruoxiang simply threw down a sentence.

“Don’t worry, I can wait for that much time,” the Great Elder said leisurely, also wondering what medicine Li Ruoxiang was selling in his gourd.

“Junior Brother Yang Chen, the Sect Leader asked me to find you…” Mu Xue looked at Yang Chen with some confusion.

She didn’t know the reason her Sect Leader had asked her to come here. She found it strange, what could Yang Chen rely on to help her win? She had no confidence in defeating Luo Jin.

Seeing Mu Xue’s appearance, Yang Chen knew that she had no confidence and spoke slowly: “Miss Mu, what is your limit in refining elixirs of what grade?”

“My limit is to refine the Fourth-grade High-Level Yun Chu Dan. However, I have no confidence in refining a Fourth-Grade High-Level Elixir. Even if I refine it a hundred times, it may not succeed once. I can only guarantee a 100% success rate in refining a Fourth-Rank Lower-grade Elixir.” Mu Xue said with a headache.

Yang Chen nodded: “In that case, Sister Mu Xue, you should try refining Yun Chu Dan.”

“Refine Yun Chu Dan? I have no confidence in that at all. Where can I succeed in refining it?” Mu Xue felt that Yang Chen was crazy.

Yang Chen revealed a grin: “Sister Mu Xue doesn’t need to worry. Since I asked you to refine Yun Chu Dan, I naturally have the confidence to make you succeed. All you need to do is answer a few questions for me, and then follow my instructions exactly!”

“What questions do you want to ask me?” Mu Xue was somewhat unhappy, feeling that Yang Chen was mocking her.

However, since Li Ruoxiang had personally asked her to come, she had no choice but to comply.

Yang Chen slowly said: “It’s simple. You just need to tell me about the process of refining Yun Chu Dan, the specifics of how the pill furnace was destroyed, as well as the appearance and color of the miscellaneous pills.”

Miscellaneous pills refer to failed elixirs.

These elixirs deviate from the original effects of the elixir but are still made according to various materials, so they are not entirely useless. Therefore, they are called miscellaneous pills, which represent failure in pill making.

Mu Xue asked: “Is it meaningful for you to ask these questions?”

“Sister Mu Xue, just say what I asked.” Yang Chen was straightforward.

It might be an incredible thing for Mu Xue, but for him, it was quite normal. During the process of refining elixirs, different refining steps will result in different furnace destruction outcomes and miscellaneous pill results.

He wanted to find out where the problem had occurred in Mu Xue’s alchemy process.

Mu Xue frowned and recounted the steps of her furnace destruction, as well as the appearance and color of the miscellaneous pills.

Having heard this, it only took Yang Chen a few breaths of effort to determine the situation.

He smiled slightly: “Sister Mu Xue, did you use the Three-Ring Alchemy Technique when refining Yun Chu Dan?”

“You know this too?” Mu Xue’s eyes widened.

Alchemy techniques also have their own unique skills.

The Three-Ring Alchemy Technique was a good one, using extremely fast material manipulation in just three steps. It became known as the Three-Ring Alchemy Technique.

Finally, Mu Xue began to sense that Yang Chen had some knowledge. After all, her use of the Three-Ring Alchemy Technique in refining Yun Chu Dan was not widely known! How would Yang Chen, a guest of the Green Lotus Sect, know about it?

She stared straight at Yang Chen, not understanding why he knew about it.

Yang Chen obviously had no intention of explaining and simply said, “Sister Mu Xue, I don’t have much time to explain to you. All I can tell you is that in the Alchemy Lineage, there is no fixed technique for refining each kind of elixir; different techniques must be used. The reason you failed to refine Yun Chu Dan is that you used the Three-Ring Alchemy Technique. If you follow the steps properly, the results will be much better.”

“If I don’t use the three-ring technique, can I refine Yun Chu Dan?” Mu Xue was amazed, disbelieving.

“Of course not.” Yang Chen shook his head and said, “Next, listen carefully and remember all I’m about to tell you. Then, put your whole heart into it during the competition, as long as you follow my steps, Sister Mu Xue, I guarantee you can refine Yun Chu Dan.”

“Really?” Mu Xue couldn’t believe it.

Yang Chen then explained all the necessary steps to Mu Xue.

Mu Xue listened clearly and attentively, not daring to be careless. The more she listened, the more shocked she became by Yang Chen’s understanding of alchemy techniques. She didn’t understand the term “enlightenment” before, but after hearing Yang Chen’s insights, she suddenly felt enlightened.

Yang Chen’s unique perspective and profound understanding of alchemy completely astounded her.

She could sense that Yang Chen was a masterful Alchemist.

Thinking of this, Mu Xue realized her earlier rudeness and quickly said, “Junior Brother Yang Chen, I was wrong just now. I should have trusted you. I have remembered what you said, and I’m going to face Luo Jin now, not disappointing your teachings!”

“Then, Sister, you should work hard.” Yang Chen clasped his hands together.

Mu Xue’s face turned red, and she immediately stood up.

“Are you ready?” With continuous victories, Luo Jin’s confidence had grown substantially.

According to Wei Gang, Mu Xue’s skills were on par with Wang Tong’s, so he naturally wasn’t worried, sneering: “Sister Mu Xue, what were you discussing with that Yang Chen just now? I thought you were seeking some last-minute help, but it seems you’ve chosen the wrong person. What use is it in relying on someone who doesn’t know anything about alchemy?”

Wei Gang was also puzzled as to why Mu Xue went to find Yang Chen since he didn’t think Yang Chen knew alchemy.

Hearing Luo Jin’s insulting words towards Yang Chen, Mu Xue said angrily: “Hmph, doesn’t know alchemy? Luo Jin, enough talk, let’s start the competition.”
