Neither Sheng Shaoqing nor Ye Wushuang began by refining the Harmony Qi Pill first, followed by the Pure Meridian Pill, and then the Breaking Calamity Pill. Instead, both of them… started refining all three pills simultaneously!
From the very beginning, their audacious approach had caused a sensation. Now, as the elixirs emerged from the cauldrons, everyone finally understood that they truly possessed such extraordinary skills.
At this moment, in front of each of them, three alchemical cauldrons each emitted a faint, delightful fragrance from their elixir outlets. Ye Wushuang and Sheng Shaoqing both stepped forward, carefully placed the refined elixirs into brocade boxes, and then placed them on the sandalwood table that had been prepared in the hall.
At this moment, the two stood on opposite sides of the table, eyeing each other. With the elixirs now out of the cauldrons, the next step was to see whose elixirs had superior quality.
Sheng Shaoqing sneered at this moment, “Ye Wushuang, there’s no need to risk your life for the Blue Cloud Pavilion!”
“Are you already convinced of your victory before even examining the quality of the elixirs?” Ye Wushuang retorted.
Sheng Shaoqing laughed heartily, “Within the territory of the Blue Cloud Empire, no one at the level of a first-grade spiritual elixir master can surpass me, Sheng Shaoqing.”
Amidst his laughter, Sheng Shaoqing directly opened the brocade box containing his elixirs. In the next moment, the faint fragrance of the elixirs spread. The surrounding second- and third-grade spiritual elixir masters all leaned in eagerly.
However, as each master looked at the elixirs in the three brocade boxes, they were all stunned into immobility. Those on the outside, unable to see, only felt the hall fall into an eerie silence, and they grew increasingly anxious. What on earth was happening?
“Danwen (elixir patterns)!”
At this moment, someone shouted out the word. In the next moment, a tidal wave of discussion erupted.
“The Harmony Qi Pill, the Pure Meridian Pill, and the Breaking Calamity Pill—all have elixir patterns!”
“This… has to be a joke, right?”
“Damn it, it’s right in front of our eyes!”
“This alchemical skill of Sheng Shaoqing… He’s… he’s a monstrous elixir master.”
Elixir patterns!
The three first-grade spiritual elixirs refined by Sheng Shaoqing all had elixir patterns.
What are elixir patterns?
Every elixir refined by an elixir master varies in quality. Generally, if an elixir is successfully formed, it is considered a finished product. However, even among finished elixirs, there are differences in quality. Typically, a finished elixir still contains flaws that affect its efficacy. For ordinary elixirs refined by average masters, the efficacy is usually between thirty to fifty percent. More skilled elixir masters can achieve an efficacy of sixty to seventy percent. Elixirs that form elixir patterns, on the other hand, have at least eighty percent efficacy!
Elixir patterns are formed when an elixir interacts with the ambient spiritual energy after it is refined, and they only appear if the elixir has minimal flaws. Therefore, elixirs with elixir patterns are always of the highest quality.
In the Blue Cloud Empire, there are a few elixir masters who can refine elixirs with elixir patterns, but most of them only achieve this with elixirs they are extremely familiar with. However, Sheng Shaoqing’s elixirs were randomly chosen types, and each batch of seven elixirs had three elixir patterns.
An elixir master from the Sacred Alchemy Pavilion hurriedly announced, “Young Master Sheng’s elixirs, seven in total, all have three elixir patterns.”
“Who in the Blue Cloud Empire can do this?”
At this moment, many people were left speechless. It should be noted that the prepared medicinal materials, if perfectly utilized, could produce ten elixirs. However, everyone in the field knew that perfect utilization of materials never happened. No matter how perfectly an elixir master operated, some of the medicinal efficacy would always be lost during the refining process. With the amount of materials that could theoretically produce ten elixirs, most elixir masters could only manage to refine three, or even just two. Yet, Sheng Shaoqing had produced seven finished elixirs, all with three elixir patterns.
What… what could Ye Wushuang possibly have to win with?
