Pill God Returns

Therefore, Yuan Feng had been paying attention to Wu Chen. He wanted to see what kind of pill he was going to concoct today. In this way, he could use another kind of pill that was even harder to concoct. He could defeat Wu Chen in one go, and wash away the humiliation he had suffered yesterday.    

    

Now, when he saw that Wu Chen actually wanted to refine a Face Preserving Pill, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.    

    

This laugh of his immediately drew the attention of everyone present.    

    

"What's going on? Is Wu Chen refining the Face Preserving Pill this time?"    

    

"Look at the medicinal ingredients in his hand. They are indeed medicinal ingredients used to refine a Face Preserving Pill."    

    

"A big man refining a Face Preserving Pill. Regarding this, I can only chuckle."    

    

Everyone was talking at the same time as they discussed animatedly.    

    

"This brat, there are so many medicinal pills that he doesn't choose, yet he chose to refine a Face Preserving Pill? He's really angering me to death." Zhu Kun said angrily.    

    

Mu Qing and Yang Xiong also felt extremely angry. Yesterday afternoon, they had gone to all the medicine shops in Heavenly Jewel City to buy Pill Cauldron. They also bought herbs to bring glory to their Beichen House. In the end, this brat chose not to buy so many pills. Yet, he had chosen to refine the Face Preserving Pill. Wasn't it obvious that he was giving up the championship position to someone else?    

    

Perhaps, among all the people of Beichen House, only Xia Youlan expressed her support. Because she was a woman, in this world, no woman could resist the temptation of the Face Preserving Pill. Especially a young and beautiful girl like her, she cherished her looks more than her own life. She would think of all sorts of ways to preserve her youth, so that her appearance wouldn't grow old. Youth would last forever, and the Face Preserving Pill was a very good choice.    

    

On the high platform, when the top alchemists of various major powers saw Wu Chen about to refine the Face Preserving Pill, the Face Preserving Pill... In the Fifth-rank Pill, it could only be considered a medium grade pill, not a very impressive pill. There were many Fifth-rank Pill that were stronger than the Face Preserving Pill.    

    

Initially, when Wu Chen revealed Pentagonal Pole yesterday, everyone saw a strong threat from him. To be able to refine five Fourth-rank Pill within four hours... Furthermore, each ___ was of the highest grade. There was no way they could say anything about his skill in alchemy. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Chen would be the most powerful champion.    

    

However, now that Wu Chen was actually refining the Face Preserving Pill, everyone let out a sigh of relief. This was because there was a rule in the Alchemist Grand Meeting that under the same grade, the higher the final result, the higher the value. The higher the difficulty of refining, the higher the result.    

    

It was obvious that the Face Preserving Pill was not enough to satisfy any one of these requirements. Therefore, in this Alchemist Grand Meeting, the biggest threat in their hearts, Wu Chen, could be said to have been completely eliminated.    

    

"Hahaha, this brat actually refined a Face Preserving Pill, this is too funny."    

    

As for those alchemists from the Taiyi Sect, they were laughing so hard that they were bending over. Other than some female alchemists who liked to refine a Face Preserving Pill, this kind of medicinal pill was also something that some female alchemists liked to refine. These people would never touch this kind of medicinal pill. Refining this kind of medicinal pill... In their opinion, it was simply not proper work.    

    

"I originally thought that this kid was very impressive. It turns out that he's just an embroidered shoe that looks good but is useless."    

    

Su Can heaved a huge sigh of relief. He thought that Wu Chen would be his most powerful competitor this time, because Pentagonal Pole's result yesterday was too terrifying. Even he couldn't surpass him.    

    

But now, it seemed like this kid wasn't a big deal. A Face Preserving Pill could only be considered a medium grade pill, a pill that surpassed it. There were countless of them, and there was no need to worry about losing. Therefore, he would definitely be the champion this time.    

    

"Wu Chen, why don't you change to another medicinal pill to refine."    

    

Seeing that everyone was laughing at Wu Chen, Yun Shishi also felt somewhat apologetic. After all, the reason why Wu Chen suddenly had a sudden impulse to refine the Face Preserving Pill... It was purely because of her. If not for the fact that she wanted to refine the Face Preserving Pill... He would not have thought of refining this kind of medicinal pill.    

    

"No, I've already said before that I'll lend you a portion of the Face Preserving Pill. Since I've already said it, how can I go back on my word?"    

    

"But?"    

    

Yun Shishi felt even more guilty in her heart. Originally, Wu Chen was completely qualified to compete for the championship. Zhu Kun, Yang Xiong and the others were also full of expectation for him. They hoped that he could compete with the people of Taiyi Sect this time. They wanted to fight for the final championship. But now, because of her... To refine the Face Preserving Pill, wouldn't it be giving up the position of champion for nothing?    

    

"There's no need for buts. Don't worry, I know what to do."    

    

There was no distinction between good and bad medicinal pills. There was only a difference in their functions.    

    

Seeing Wu Chen's insistence, Yun Shishi did not say anything else. After all, what kind of medicinal pill the other party wanted to refine was definitely not something she could control.    

    

"This brat, do you know what he is doing?"    

    

Tang Ji was very annoyed. Under the circumstances of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, there were so many other medicinal pills that he did not choose to refine, but instead chose to refine a Face Preserving Pill, this sort of medicinal pill. It was one thing for him to lose face, but he had also implicated the Beichen House. It was truly a disgrace to the Beichen House.    

    

"Tang Ji, it seems like we can't count on this guy anymore. He still has to rely on us." Kang Yang said in a deep voice.    

    

Tang Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry. Without this kid, I can still make Beichen House the final champion this time."    

    

"Then, what kind of pill are you going to concoct?"    

    

Since Wu Chen couldn't count on them anymore, he could only rely on the two of them.    

    

Tang Ji thought for a while and said, "Take the risk and stake it all on an eight-star pill."    

    

"Eight Star Pill, do you have confidence in reaching the High-Grade?"    

    

Eight Star Pill was a type of Fifth-rank Pill, and it was a kind of medicinal pill that was very difficult to refine. If one wasn't careful, one wouldn't be able to concoct it, even if it was an outstanding Tier 5 alchemist. This was because the difficulty of concocting such a pill was too high. Ordinary people would not be able to control it at all.    

    

"No, that's why I said to give it a shot."    

    

With Tang Ji's current skill in alchemy, there was only a thirty percent chance of him successfully concocting a High-Grade Eight Star Pill. Therefore, the probability of him failing was relatively high.    

    

"Wouldn't that be too risky?"    

    

Tang Ji frowned and said, "Adventure, perhaps. But I think we can give it a try. Besides, isn't there still you? If I fail, you will have to replace me."    

    

Seeing Tang Ji insist, Kang Yang did not try to persuade him anymore.    

    

"Alright. Be careful. Try not to cause an explosion."    

    

Tang Ji nodded. "I will. You should also be careful."    

    

"Okay."
