In a short while, the contract was drawn up, and both Ye Wushuang and Shen Yunrui signed their names.
Shen Yunrui’s gaze was piercing as he stared directly at Ye Wushuang, sneering, “Young man, I’ve never seen anyone so eager to court death!”
“Who will meet their end remains to be seen,” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile.
At that moment, Shen Yunrui let out a cold hum and continued, “The so-called Dan Master’s seated discourse is essentially a comparison of who has a stronger and better understanding of alchemy.”
“Each party writes down ten questions about alchemy. Naturally, these questions cannot be written haphazardly, and 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 the other party must answer them, comparing their responses to the correct answers.”
Shen Yunrui then smiled and said, “Do you understand?”
Ye Wushuang gave a calm smile and walked over to a table nearby. On the table, paper, ink, brush, and inkstone were all prepared.
Ye Wushuang picked up the brush and began to write. Seeing this, Shen Yunrui let out a cold laugh, returned to his table, and started writing as well.
“Arrogant little brat, putting on airs!”
After about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, both men stopped writing. Their answers were placed on the tables, and someone picked up the scrolls of questions.
“Let’s begin!”
Shen Yunrui looked at Ye Wushuang and sneered, “Young man, it’s such a pity that someone so young, used as a pawn, will die here…”
“Who will die is still uncertain,” Ye Wushuang retorted.
And with that, the discourse officially commenced.
“First question from me,” Shen Yunrui said with a smile. “For the second-grade spiritual pill, the Restorative Pill, which ingredient maximizes the efficacy of the Restorative Pill?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang replied with a smile, “The Sweetwood Orchid!”
At that moment, everyone was taken aback. Ye Wushuang had answered without a moment’s hesitation.
Meanwhile, 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 Restorative Pill is used to stabilize the breath of a martial artist at the Yuanfu realm. The main ingredients are three: the Wood Spirit Needle Flower, the Geothermal Fire Mushroom, and the Dragon’s Beard Icefire Fruit. The ingredient that maximizes the efficacy of the Restorative Pill is the Dragon’s Beard Icefire Fruit.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiqi’s face changed as well.
However, when Shen Yunrui heard the answer, he raised an eyebrow. Someone had already picked up the answer to the first question written by Shen Yunrui, and it clearly stated “Sweetwood Orchid”!
At that moment, Cheng Yuanbai was dumbfounded. He was a top-tier third-grade spiritual alchemist, and he knew that the ingredient that maximized the efficacy of the second-grade spiritual pill Restorative Pill was the Dragon’s Beard Icefire Fruit!
…
At this moment, no one could explain to Cheng Yuanbai.
But Shen Yunrui was inwardly shocked. Many third-grade spiritual alchemists, and even some fourth-grade ones, would think that the ingredient that maximizes the efficacy of the Restorative Pill is the Dragon’s Beard Icefire Fruit. Shen Yunrui himself used to believe that until he learned more from the forces behind the Sacred Alchemy Pavilion and discovered that the first auxiliary ingredient, the Sweetwood Orchid, had this effect!
Even a master alchemist like Cheng Yuanbai didn’t know this. How could Ye Wushuang possibly know?
It must be a lucky guess!
“It’s your turn!” Shen Yunrui humphed, looking at Ye Wushuang.
“For the Ordinary Pill that Moistens the Meridians, there are three main ingredients and seven auxiliary ingredients. The main ingredients are Fire Lotus Fruit, Thousand-Leaf Grass, and Icefield Grass.”
“The Fire Lotus Fruit is of a fiery nature, while the Icefield Grass is of an icy nature. Among the seven auxiliary ingredients, which one is used to neutralize the fiery and icy energies of the Fire Lotus Fruit and Icefield Grass?”
Seeing the question written on the scroll, many of the alchemists present were bewildered.
This… was the question posed by Ye Wushuang?
