Rise of the Alchemy God

Chapter 184: The Eternal Harmony Pill Series

.

As expected, all competitions from this point on were highly anticipated by everyone.

This was because almost all remaining participants in this category were already well-known among the crowd, and everyone was eager to cheer for their favorites.

In this particular case, both Xiang Hua and Qiang Wei had many fans, and the excitement generated by both sides was enormous.

The judges, seeing this, could only shake their heads, allowing the crowd to enjoy the event.

Seeing such scenes during alchemy competitions was rare because alchemy was not typically a profession known for its spectacle.

Usually, the audience could only wait to see the final product, and for the rest of the time, they either watched calmly or did something else.

In other words, most of the competition tended to be quite dull, except in special cases, like Hu Xingyan's or the masked boy's, which managed to break this monotony and keep the audience engaged throughout the refinement process.

Although the current competitors didn't create the same excitement, their popularity among the public was enough to keep everyone awake and prevent them from falling asleep.

Many questioned the point of organizing such a large event when it could have been done more privately, as half the audience didn't understand a thing about alchemy and often left disappointed due to the dullness.

But there were others who believed that a competition as fundamental as this for the Long Empire deserved an event dedicated to it.

In the end, like it or not, this competition continued to be held every year, having already lasted several centuries, turning it into an annual tradition for many.

As soon as both participants were ready, the announcer declared the start of the match.

The boy from the Qilin Kingdom immediately began the refinement, pulling various ingredients from his dimensional ring, many of which were native to the Qilin Kingdom.

Cultivators from the Qilin Kingdom had a particular affinity for the lightning element, which was abundant in that region of the continent.

Many of the strongest lightning experts hailed from there, including the most powerful one currently, the head of the Qilin Sect.

Except for a few cases like the elder of the Phoenix Sect, the rest of the lightning practitioners belonged to the Lightning Sect. Explore new worlds at m,v l'-NovelBin.net

Even Qiang Wei had a certain affinity for the lightning element, visible as he started working on the materials he had brought out.

Sparks began to flow over his body, while his blue-green hair floated slightly.

His speed increased, and the materials that had been levitated by his Qi manifestation were, in an instant, cut, ground, and processed.

He did what would take a normal person at least five minutes to accomplish in an instant.

However, unlike him, Xiang Hua did not rush and took her time choosing and preparing her materials.

To those who didn't know her, this calm demeanor might have seemed a poor choice, making them think she'd fall behind and risk losing. But to those familiar with her, this calmness was just the calm before the storm.

Once she began refining, her finished products would always astonish the audience and leave her opponents defeated.

Every time, it had been the same; she took her time refining her pills, and in the end, when she presented them, the pills were always a level above those of her opponents, who thought they could best her but were always left stunned.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it came to an end with Xiang Hua's victory.

Qiang Wei, with a look of disbelief, couldn't help but glance repeatedly at the pills she had produced.

With his skills, he had managed to refine eight high-grade level 2 pills, two of which had purity over 90%, quite a high purity.

But when he saw the three pills she had created, he couldn't help but lower his head in defeat.

The pills Xiang Hua had created belonged to a series known as the Eternal Harmony Pills.

The Eternal Harmony Pill Series consisted of ten different types of pills, ranging from simple to highly complex ones.

The three pills she had created were the three most difficult in that series, and the most challenging one in the series, the Eternal Harmony Pill, had been refined at a low-grade level 3.

In other words, she had completely defeated him, despite his excellent products.

He could only accept his defeat and prepare to fight once more to secure a position within the Top 10, as a place in the Top 5 was now just a distant dream for him.

Right after their match, the third round began between the boy from the White Tiger Kingdom and the other member from the Qilin Kingdom.

The final result was a loss for the boy from the White Tiger Kingdom.

The fourth round, however, was between two of the demonic cultivators, a coincidence that nearly made Ethan burst into laughter when he heard it for the first time, though he held back.

Even though they were pitted against each other, both men showed no sign of hesitation and proceeded to compete normally.

In the end, the winner was the man in his forties, who also produced a low-grade level 3 pill.

The margin of victory was very small, mainly due to the level 3 pill, as in every other aspect, he was on par with his companion.

Ethan didn't know whether they had previously decided who would win or if he truly was the better of the two, but one thing was clear: one of them had secured a place in the finals.

In other words, it was almost certain that they would have the chance to auction off at least one or two of their pills.

Finally, after the first four rounds concluded, it was Ethan's turn to compete against the woman from the group of demonic cultivators.

Ethan couldn't wait to see what the woman had in store for him.

The woman, while walking, almost tripped as a sudden shiver ran down her spine.

She felt like a rabbit being watched by a lion.

'What the is wrong with me today?' she wondered, as this was the third time she had felt that way.
