In a short while, the written agreement was established, with both Ye Wushuang and Shen Yunrui signing their names.
Shen Yunrui’s gaze was piercing as he stared directly at Ye Wushuang and sneered, “Young man, I’ve never seen anyone so eager to court death!”
“Who will meet their end will be revealed soon enough,” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile.
At that moment, Shen Yunrui humphed and continued, “The so-called alchemical discourse among alchemists is about comparing who has the superior and more insightful understanding of alchemy.”
“Each party writes down ten questions related to alchemy. These questions cannot be written haphazardly; the answers must be logical and verifiable.”
“After writing down the ten questions, each party then writes down the answers to those questions. The questions are then exchanged, and each party answers the questions posed by the other, comparing their answers to the written solutions.”
Shen Yunrui then smiled and said, “Do you understand?”
Ye Wushuang offered a calm smile and walked over to a table nearby. On the table were all the necessary items for writing: paper, ink, brush, and inkstone.
Ye Wushuang picked up the brush and began to write.
Seeing this, Shen Yunrui let out a cold laugh, returned to his table, and began writing as well.
*What a pretentious young man!*
After about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, both of them put down their brushes. Their answers were left on the tables, and someone picked up the scrolls containing the questions.
“Let’s begin!” Shen Yunrui looked at Ye Wushuang and sneered, “Young man, it’s such a pity that someone so young, being used as a pawn, will meet their end here…”
“Who will truly die is yet to be seen!” At that moment, the alchemical discourse officially commenced.
“Here is my first question,” Shen Yunrui said with a smile. “For a second-grade spiritual pill, the Gui Xi Pill, which ingredient maximizes its efficacy?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang replied with a smile, “The Gan Mu Orchid!”
At that moment, everyone was taken aback.
Ye Wushuang had answered without a moment’s hesitation.
At this time, Cheng Yuanbai, who was being supported by Mu Qiqi, changed expression and sighed, “That’s wrong…”
Mu Qiqi was puzzled and asked, “Master, is it wrong?”
Cheng Yuanbai then explained, “The Gui Xi Pill is used to stabilize the breath of warriors at the Yuanfu realm. It has three main ingredients: Mu Ling San Zhen Flower, Dixin Huozhi, and Longxu Binghuo Fruit. The ingredient that maximizes the efficacy of the Gui Xi Pill is the Longxu Binghuo Fruit.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiqi’s face changed.
However, when Shen Yunrui heard the answer, he raised an eyebrow.
Someone had already picked up the answer to Shen Yunrui’s first question, and it read “Gan Mu Orchid”!
At that moment, Cheng Yuanbai was stunned.
He was a top-tier third-grade spiritual alchemist; he knew that the ingredient that maximized the efficacy of the second-grade Gui Xi Pill was Longxu Binghuo Fruit!
And yet, at this moment, no one could explain to Cheng Yuanbai.
Shen Yunrui, however, was inwardly shocked.
Many third-grade spiritual alchemists, and even some fourth-grade ones, would think that Longxu Binghuo Fruit was the ingredient that maximized the efficacy of the Gui Xi Pill.
Shen Yunrui had also believed so until he had learned more from the powerful forces behind the Holy Dan Pavilion and discovered that the Gan Mu Orchid, the primary auxiliary ingredient, was actually the one with this effect!
But even alchemists like Cheng Yuanbai didn’t know this; how could Ye Wushuang possibly know?
It must have been a guess!
“Your turn!” Shen Yunrui humphed and looked at Ye Wushuang.
“For the Fan Dan Runmai Pill, there are three main ingredients and seven auxiliary ingredients. The main ingredients are Huolian Fruit, Qianye Grass, and Bingyuan Grass.”
“Huolian Fruit is of a fiery nature, and Bingyuan Grass is of an icy nature. Among the seven auxiliary ingredients, which one is used to neutralize the fire-and-ice energies of Huolian Fruit and Bingyuan Grass?”
Seeing the question written on the scroll, many of the alchemists present were bewildered.
This… was the question posed by Ye Wushuang?
