The two herbs gradually transformed into spiritual liquids in Ye Wushuang’s hands, dripping one drop at a time into the spiritual liquids of the Huolian Fruit and Bingyuan Grass. However, as the dosage continued to increase, the fiery and icy energies that were devouring each other never disappeared.
At this moment, many alchemists were left agape. It turned out that relying solely on these two herbs was truly insufficient to neutralize the fiery and icy energies of the Huolian Fruit and Bingyuan Grass.
With a flick of his wrist, Ye Wushuang said again, “Let’s try again.”
He once more combined the Huolian Fruit and Bingyuan Grass and dripped in the spiritual liquids of Qingteng Flower and Xuejing Grass, yet the fiery and icy energies remained.
But then, Ye Wushuang transformed the Ziyun Chrysanthemum and Lingye Grass into spiritual liquids and dripped them in as well. In the next moment, the faint red and blue energies that had been mutually devouring and repelling each other miraculously vanished.
At this moment, everyone understood. Ye Wushuang had proven with the simplest of experiments that his answer was the correct one. No one could refute it.
Shen Yunrui’s expression turned ugly. How could this be possible!
Beside Mu Qiqi, Cheng Yuanbai muttered in a daze, “It turns out that what everyone has always believed is wrong.”
“The Ziyun Chrysanthemum and Lingye Grass, which everyone thought were for lubricating the meridians, have been overlooked for their combined effect of emitting a gentle, jade-like aura. Everyone assumed that this warm energy was expelled by the pill furnace, but it turns out that isn’t the case…”
At this moment, Cheng Yuanbai looked at Ye Wushuang with astonishment. “Qiqi, where did you find this young master Ye Wushuang?” he exclaimed. “In the pursuit of alchemy, one must be meticulous and flawless. This young man is truly extraordinary.”
Many alchemists casually refine pills using prescriptions, but when it comes to tracing back to the origins and exploring the mysteries of how herbs combine, they are often left bewildered. Ye Wushuang, however, was clearly an exception.
Mu Qiqi chuckled and said, “I found him with my keen insight.”
And the alchemical discourse continued…
Shen Yunrui posed his second question, and Ye Wushuang answered again. As the questions and answers flew back and forth, it soon became clear to everyone that something was amiss. Shen Yunrui’s questions were all very tricky, yet Ye Wushuang’s answers were even more comprehensive than those written by Shen Yunrui himself. Even Shen Yunrui couldn’t find any flaws!
But Ye Wushuang’s questions, though seemingly ordinary and easily understood by everyone, were answered incorrectly by most. Shen Yunrui’s answers were also half-right and half-wrong. Whenever Shen Yunrui tried to refute Ye Wushuang, Ye Wushuang would immediately prove his point on the spot! Not only was Shen Yunrui left speechless, but the other alchemists also found his reasoning extremely convincing.
Ten questions!
The answers were quickly exchanged.
Ye Wushuang correctly answered all ten questions posed by Shen Yunrui. However, of the ten questions posed by Ye Wushuang, Shen Yunrui didn’t get a single one right! It should be noted that the questions Ye Wushuang asked were almost all related to the ordinary pill level.
When Shen Yunrui answered the last question incorrectly and Ye Wushuang explained the correct answer, everyone standing inside and outside the Blue Cloud Pavilion was left agape.
And Master Shen Yunrui, who had been so confident and domineering just half an hour ago, now stood there like a wooden chicken, his forehead beaded with sweat, his body trembling as he wiped the sweat from his neck.
He had lost! He had lost in front of everyone! There was no way to deny it.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang looked at Shen Yunrui and smiled, saying, “Your alchemy is still quite good; at least you know more than the average alchemist. Unfortunately, you lost.”
Ye Wushuang took out the written agreement and said again, “Now, it is time to fulfill the agreement we made earlier.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunrui immediately took a step back, his body trembling.
