The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 4: Chapter 3: Willing to Accept Defeat in a Bet?_1

There was nothing that could boost Yang Chen's confidence more than alchemy. In his previous life, he was known as the First Genius of the Dan Dao, with a talent for alchemy that far surpassed all other talents in the entire territory. Only a few old immortals in the alchemy world could even be compared with him.

For him, a First-Order Intermediate Dan Master was like bullying a newborn baby.

Of course, he was indeed bullying Yang Heng now, but Yang Heng was not aware of it and thought he was looking for trouble.

"As for the competition method, let's follow the normal process of alchemy showdowns," Yang Heng casually said, and then continued, "Xiao Hui, you explain it."

Upon hearing Yang Heng's words, Xiao Hui, his servant, felt as if he had received his master's reward and shouted, "In an alchemy showdown, the outcome is determined by the quality, quantity, and appearance of the elixirs."

"Did you hear that?" Yang Heng said with a look as if he was afraid that Yang Chen didn't understand the rules, "Since we're betting, let's do it properly. I won't bully you either. The First-Rank Elixir 'Reverting Bone Pill' is the simplest elixir among First-Rank Elixirs. The winner will be decided by the final quantity, quality, and appearance of the pills!"

"No problem," Yang Chen agreed straightforwardly.

Reverting Bone Pill was the simplest elixir to refine among First-Rank Elixirs. One pill could make a martial artist in the Body Refining Realm feel refreshed and clear-headed. Usually, martial artists in the Body Refining Realm would take a Reverting Bone Pill before fighting, making their fights more focused and efficient.

As for the Body Refining Realm, it was the foundation level of martial arts cultivation, divided into nine levels, each with a considerable difference.

Yang Chen wasn't even considered to be at the first level of the Body Refining Realm.

On the other hand, Yang Heng was already at the second level of the Body Refining Realm at a young age, making him a top genius among teenagers under 'adulthood'.

Yang Chen was confident about refining the basic Reverting Bone Pill. He looked at Gu Mingyue and said, "Ming Yue, where's my pill furnace?"

"Yo... Young Master, your ancestral 'Purple Elegance Dan Furnace' was lost to the Wang family. Did you forget about that?" Gu Mingyue's pretty face flushed red, and she said awkwardly.

Hearing that, laughter broke out all around them.

Yang Chen raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, realizing that it was indeed true.

With that in mind, Yang Chen said, "Then use the most ordinary pill furnace."

Although Gu Mingyue did not want Yang Chen to compete with others, she had no choice but to take out a very ordinary pill furnace from her storage ring.

"I say, Yang Chen, you lost your family's Purple Elegance Dan Furnace, and now you're using this ordinary pill furnace to compete with me? How much chance do you have of winning? Haha, Young Master won't bully you either; since you're using an ordinary pill furnace, I'll use one too for a fair match," Yang Heng sneered.

Of course, he said this not because he felt sympathy for Yang Chen but because he believed that even if they both used ordinary pill furnaces, Yang Chen still had no chance of winning.

Yang Chen nonchalantly said, "As you wish!"

As soon as his words fell, he gently pinched the pill furnace and placed it on the palm of his hand.

A mediocre alchemist typically only used a small, palm-sized pill furnace.

The average novice alchemist could only handle small pill furnaces.

"One set of Reverting Bone Pill materials, and finally, based on the quantity, quality, and appearance of the pills, we will decide the winner. Now, let the competition begin!" Yang Heng's servant shouted loudly.

Although Yang Chen was poor, he still had enough materials to refine a set of Reverting Bone Pills as an alchemist.

He rummaged through the lowest-grade storage ring, retrieved a set of Reverting Bone Pill refining materials, and quickly threw them into the furnace.

"He starts with throwing in the materials without even lighting a fire. He's obviously a newbie," several servants, who had seen their young master refining pills many times, mocked when they saw Yang Chen's refining posture.

Yang Chen ignored them, threw the materials into the pill furnace, and then used the 'Fire Control Wood' to ignite the fire.

"Having been used to using my own inherent flame in my previous life, adapting to the use of this Fire Control Wood is still somewhat challenging," Yang Chen thought to himself as he controlled the fire's temperature using the Fire Control Wood.

Fire control was a crucial step in alchemy.

Simply put, it was about controlling the heat.

The final number and quality of the elixir were inseparably related to the heat control.

In addition to controlling the heat, it was also essential to adjust the ratio of the materials inside the furnace during the elixir's formation process. This step was equally crucial; if not done well, the quality and potency of the elixirs would be greatly compromised. It was a skill that heavily tested the details of the process.

So, becoming an alchemist relied heavily on natural talent and comprehension.

However, all these steps were already deeply ingrained in Yang Chen's mind.

His fire control and adjustments were all executed perfectly.

Gu Mingyue, who had watched Yang Chen refine pills many times, blinked her big eyes and wore a surprised and nervous expression on her face.

She could tell that her young master wasn't as careless as before when refining pills. Moreover, Yang Chen's refining skills and steps seemed to be more refined than before. His fire control skills and seriousness when adjusting the materials were completely different from before.

"Could it be that the Young Master suddenly gained enlightenment in alchemy after attempting suicide?" Gu Mingyue wondered while observing from a close distance.
