Chapter 107: Let Me Give It a Try
When the result was revealed, a sigh filled the entire square. Though it was expected, seeing our own person defeated in front of everyone made no one happy.
"Brother Ruan trains well; he has enabled his young student to easily concoct pills with a success rate of ninety percent. It’s truly impressive. Given time, it is also quite possible to create perfect pills with a hundred percent success rate."
Xiao Liufeng spoke, and it was clear that he genuinely admired Ouyang Mo.
"Haha, Nephew Shen Hao is not bad either. At such a young age, he has achieved so much in alchemy; his future accomplishments will surely be limitless."
Ruan Ming laughed in great joy, but his smile was filled with pride, praising others while not forgetting to praise himself too.
"What’s the big deal? It’s just a ninety percent pill."
"Ah, it’s so frustrating! Look at those two, acting so proud. I really want to go up and give them a good punch, but Ouyang Mo is truly impressive for actually making a ninety percent pill."
"Yes, a ninety percent Wash Marrow Pill is almost perfect. There aren’t that many truly perfect pills, and if one is not as skilled as others, there is nothing to be done. Martial Brother Shen Hao must have accepted his defeat; it’s just frustrating to see their master and disciple acting so proudly here."
…
The Yanwu family disciples were all very angry; they could see that Xiao Liufeng looked upset and was likely holding in a lot of anger. However, losing means losing. If Xiao Liufeng showed his anger, it would seem like he couldn’t accept his defeat.
There are different grades of pills. In the Spirit Cultivator continent, the same type of pill can be graded from one to ten. A perfect ten-grade pill has no impurities and is very rare. Usually, an eight-grade or nine-grade pill is already very impressive.
After all, it’s not easy to make a perfect ten-grade pill.
Shen Hao stood in front of Xiao Liufeng and said, feeling frustrated, "Master, I’m sorry for disappointing you."
"Don’t be discouraged. You did very well, and I am quite satisfied with your effort."
Xiao Liufeng patted Shen Hao on the shoulder. He wouldn’t blame his proud disciple for failing. Shen Hao’s performance throughout the process was commendable; he gave it his all. If he’s not as skilled as others, he just needs to work harder and not give up.
"Nephew Shen Hao, don’t be discouraged. The path of alchemy is still long. Today’s loss doesn’t mean you are not capable; it just means that Mo’er is too outstanding."
Ruan Ming opened his mouth to comfort Shen Hao, but this comfort turned into shameless praise for Ouyang Mo. This show-off was really enough.
"Brother Xiao, today Mo’er was lucky to win. I wonder if your family has any other talented alchemists. Mo’er is ready to accept any challenge."
Ruan Ming continued to speak.
As soon as the words were said, more angry gazes surrounded them. This old man wouldn’t stop; he had already won and showed no mercy.
Everyone knew that Shen Hao was the top young alchemist from the Yanwu family of Xuanzhou State. He had already lost; the competition was finished, yet this old man still said such things, clearly on purpose.
Xiao Liufeng’s face finally turned dark. With his stubborn temper, if it weren’t for his family’s reputation, he would have probably exploded and driven people away.
"Let me give it a try."
Just as Xiao Liufeng was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Countless gazes turned toward the voice, and they saw a young man in white, with a black cat perched on his shoulder, confidently walking towards the center of the square.
"Yun Yi? What are you doing?"
"Why is it him again? Why is he everywhere?"
"Isn’t this guy supposed to be in Jade Wheel City according to the young lady? Please, my dear brother, why are you making a fuss in a situation like this? Don’t you think today is embarrassing enough for the family?"
…
When people saw Yun Yi, many rolled their eyes, feeling a strong urge to express their frustration. He really is everywhere; the troubles from the second-class area yesterday haven’t settled down, and now he’s trying to show off again.
In people’s eyes, when Yun Yi said he wanted to try, it was just a way to seek attention.
Not to mention whether this guy is a Medicine Pill Master, even if he is, how can a fourth grade of the Innate Realm compete with Ouyang Mo? He even lost to Shen Hao, who is at the second grade of the Lingyuan Realm. Him showing up now is just acting like a clown.
"Yun Yi, stop fooling around."
Xiao Liufeng scolded him irritably. He was already feeling embarrassed because of Shen Hao’s loss, and now with Yun Yi making a scene, it only made it harder for Xiao Liufeng to hold his head high.
"Elder Xiao, everyone says that as long as you are a disciple of the family, you can step forward to challenge him. Coincidentally, I also want to try alchemy, and I am a disciple of the family too, so I have the right to step forward and give it a try."
Yun Yi spoke; for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to practice alchemy, he could not miss it.
Wow!
Want to try?
Many people were completely confused and shocked; after all that time, this guy had never practiced alchemy and still wanted to step forward to try.
Are you kidding?
Do you have no shame?
"Haha, Brother Xiao, your branch from Xuanzhou State is really interesting. This young brother truly shows great courage."
Ruan Ming laughed loudly, his words full of sarcasm.
"Hmph! What a shame that anyone can just come out and embarrass themselves. Has the Xuanzhou State really fallen to the point where they accept anyone?"
Ouyang Mo snorted coldly and said angrily.
"I wouldn’t dare compare myself to cats and dogs, but when it comes to alchemy, you truly cannot be the best among this young generation."
Yun Yi said coldly, then a powerful soul force erupted from his body like a tidal wave, sweeping outwards.
This took Xiao Liufeng, who was ready to scold him, completely by surprise. Everyone present was stunned, Ruan Ming’s smile froze, and Shen Hao stared wide-eyed.
"W-what? How is this possible?"
Shen Hao opened his mouth wide, his face filled with disbelief.
"His soul power has actually reached the level of the Lingyuan Realm, while his cultivation is only at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm. How can there be such a large difference? What kind of genius is this kid?"
Xiao Liufeng was completely stunned. Even with his knowledge, he had never seen a rare situation like Yun Yi’s. A person’s soul power usually increases with their cultivation. To have the soul power of the Lingyuan Realm at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm is unbelievable unless seen with one’s own eyes.
The powerful soul force, along with the Fire Spirit Body, could already represent the identity of Yun Yi, the Medicine Pill Master. Xiao Liufeng remembered when he was in Yun Country and examined Yun Yi’s flames, which were stronger than his own spirit fire. At that time, he didn’t think that such a small place would have a Medicine Pill Master, so he didn’t pay attention to Yun Yi’s soul force.
Now, with the soul force of the Lingyuan Realm and the powerful flames before him, perhaps he truly has the qualifications to give it a try.
"Let him give it a try."
Just then, a voice called out from afar as the young lady Xiao Ruoshui walked towards them.
