Chapter 3: Are you willing to admit defeat?

There is nothing that can make Yang Chen more confident than refining elixirs. In his previous life, he was called the number one genius in alchemy. His talent in alchemy was far superior to all other alchemy geniuses in the entire territory. Only a few old gods in the alchemy world can compare with him.

To him, being a first-level mid-level alchemist was like bullying a newborn baby.

Of course, he was indeed bullying Yang Heng now, but Yang Heng didn't realize it yet and thought he was looking for abuse.

"For the gambling method, we will compete according to the normal procedure of alchemy master's gambling." Yang Heng said lightly, and then said: "Xiao Hui, you tell me."

Xiao Hui, Yang Heng's domestic servant, after hearing Yang Heng's words, he shouted at the top of his voice as if he had received a reward from his master: "The alchemy master's bet is based on the quality, quality and quantity of the alchemy."

"Did you hear that?" Yang Heng said as if he was afraid that Yang Chen didn't understand the rules: "Since you want to bet, bet properly, and I won't bully you. The first-grade pill 'Returning Bone Pill', this pill is a first-grade pill The simplest elixir in medicine, the winner or loser is decided based on the quantity, quality and fineness of the final elixir!"

"No problem." Yang Chen agreed simply and neatly.

The 'Returning Bone Pill' is the easiest to refine among the first-grade pills. A pill can make a warrior in the body refining realm feel refreshed and his eyes and ears clear. Usually, warriors in the body refining realm who take a bone-returning pill before fighting will get twice the result with half the effort and be more focused during the fight.

As for the body refining realm, it is the basic realm of martial arts cultivation. It is divided into nine levels. Each level has a very considerable gap.

Yang Chen, the first level of the Body Refining Realm doesn’t even count.

As for Yang Heng, he has reached the second level of the Body Refining Realm at a young age. It can be said that among the young geniuses who have reached adulthood, he is the best.

Regarding the basic refining of the Bone Returning Pill, Yang Chen was confident that he could easily master it. He glanced at Gu Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, where is my pill furnace?"

"Young... Young Master, the 'Zixiu Dan Furnace' passed down by your ancestors was lost to the Wang family. Have you forgotten about this?" Gu Mingyue said with embarrassment as her pretty face turned red.

When he heard this, there was a sudden burst of laughter.

Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen said: "Then use the most common alchemy furnace."

Although Gu Mingyue didn't want Yang Chen to bet with others, but now that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, she had no choice but to take out a very ordinary pill furnace from the storage ring.

"I'm talking about Yang Chen, you have lost the Zixiu Alchemy Furnace passed down from your family, and you use this most common alchemy furnace to bet with me? What are the chances of winning? Haha, I won't bully you, you use the most common alchemy furnace. As for the alchemy furnace, I also use the most common alchemy furnace. Lest others say that I am incompetent." Yang Heng sneered.

He said this naturally not because he sympathized with Yang Chen, but because he felt that even if he used an ordinary pill furnace, Yang Chen would have no chance of winning.

Yang Chen said nonchalantly: "Whatever you want!"

When he finished speaking, he gently held the alchemy furnace in the palm of his hand.

For example, the alchemy furnace used by a low-level alchemist is only the size of a palm.

Ordinary alchemists who are not good at it can only control a few small alchemy furnaces.

"A set of materials for the bone-returning elixir. The winner will be decided based on the quantity and quality of the elixir. Now, the competition begins." Yang Heng's servant shouted at the top of his lungs.

Although Yang Chen's family is poor, as an alchemist, he still has the materials to refine a set of bone-returning pills.

He dug out a set of refining materials for the Bone Return Pill from the lowest-grade storage ring and quickly threw them into the pill furnace.

"He started throwing materials without making a fire. It looks like he's not in the right place." Several servants watched their young master refining alchemy. After discovering Yang Chen's alchemy refining posture, they all made sarcastic comments.

Yang Chen turned a blind eye, threw the materials into the alchemy furnace, and then used the 'fire control wood' to light the fire.

"I was used to using my natal flame in my previous life, so I'm really not used to something like the 'Fire Control Wood'." Yang Chen laughed in his heart, pulling the Fire Control Wood and starting to control the temperature of the flame.

Fire control is a very important process in alchemy.

To put it simply, it’s the heat.

The quantity and quality of the final product of the elixir are inseparable from the heat.

In addition to controlling the heat, it is all about conditioning.

Conditioning is the process of condensing the materials in the furnace. This process is as important as the heat. If the control is not good and the elixir fails to inherit the quality of the original material, the quality of the elixir will be greatly reduced. It can be said that it is a technical job that tests the details.

Therefore, if you want to become an alchemist, you must rely heavily on your talent and understanding.

But these steps have long been ingrained in Yang Chen's mind.

His fire control and conditioning were all done step by step.

This made Gu Mingyue, who had watched Yang Chen make alchemy many times, blink her big eyes, her pretty face full of surprise and nervousness.

She could tell that her young master's alchemy refining was not as casual as usual and he didn't take it to heart at all. Moreover, Yang Chen's alchemy skills and steps seem to be much more proficient than before. His fire control skills and his seriousness in conditioning are completely different from before.

"Could it be that after the young master hanged himself, he suddenly realized the truth of alchemy?" Gu Mingyue observed closely and thought in her mind.

She was really worried.

Because although Yang Chen's alchemy skills have improved, Yang Heng is truly a first-class mid-level alchemist, and what about Yang Chen? He is just a first-grade low-level alchemist.

What is the difference between the first-grade low-level and the first-level mid-level?

When a first-level low-level alchemist refines a first-level elixir, the success rate is not 100%, or even very low. The threshold is that as long as he refines a first-level elixir, he can be considered a first-level low-level alchemist. But what about a first-grade mid-level alchemist? That is 100% capable of refining a first-grade elixir.

Their young master accidentally refined a first-grade elixir a year ago. Who knows what happened to a blind cat and a dead mouse, and he became a first-grade low-level alchemist. But in the year since then, not a single first-grade elixir has been refined.

How can this not be worrying?

However, when Gu Mingyue was thinking, suddenly, Yang Chen put down his hands, and gradually, the flame of the fire control wood disappeared. And wisps of incense rose up from the alchemy furnace, and then, a hint of tangy fragrance came out of the alchemy furnace.

This fragrance is usually a precursor to elixir formation.

"It's become a pill!"

This made Yang Heng's servant's eyes widen.

Who would have thought that Yang Chen would become a pill faster than Yang Heng.

"What are you worried about?" Xiao Hui, a domestic servant who was highly regarded by Yang Heng, sneered: "Our young master Heng has refined this bone-returning elixir hundreds of times. It is nothing to become a complete elixir. The young master's best achievement is just one refining." Make three bone-returning pills! Three of them are not comparable to the waste materials that you were lucky enough to refine to make one bone-returning pill."

As he spoke, the servant glanced at Yang Chen, who had just become an elixir, and looked at him with disdain. Although he is a domestic servant, but with Yang Heng's protection, how can he be afraid of Yang Chen? Yang Chen's position in the Yang family is very embarrassing. If it weren't for the protection of his sister Yang Caidi, he might not be a domestic servant like him.

At this time, Yang Heng also discovered Yang Chen who had become a pill. Seeing Yang Chen's confident look, he had a sneer on his face. It doesn't matter if he can make an elixir quickly. He will soon let Yang Chen know what the real elixir refining skills are.

"Master, have you really refined the bone-returning elixir?" Gu Mingyue said nervously.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Yeah!"

Just kidding, if he can't even refine a bone-returning elixir, then he's going to be embarrassed. Moreover, he could almost determine the result of Yang Heng's alchemy by observing Yang Heng's technique, so he deliberately adjusted his alchemy technique to prevent his victory from being too stunning, otherwise it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

"Elixir is complete!"

Suddenly, Yang Heng shouted loudly. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of rich fragrance came out from the alchemy furnace. From Yang Heng's triumphant expression, it is not difficult to see that Yang Heng is particularly satisfied with the results of his alchemy this time. It is even possible to win.

Gu Mingyue was afraid that Yang Chen would be hit, so she hurriedly said: "Master, even if you fail in this bet, it doesn't matter. At least you have refined this bone-returning pill. That means that you will still be an alchemist in the future, and you will still have a future! A true man, don’t worry about temporary success or failure!”

When Yang Chen listened to Gu Mingyue's words, it could be said that he was neither crying nor laughing. Why did the other party feel that he was destined to lose?

"Yang Chen, let's uncover the furnace." Yang Heng sneered.

Yang Chen did not delay, and immediately stirred up the alchemy furnace. For a moment, the elixir fell out of the alchemy furnace and landed on each other's palms.

Yang Heng looked at the three bone-returning pills in the round palm of his hand and laughed heartily: "Yang Chen, have you seen any geniuses in the alchemy world? With three bone-returning pills, you can achieve this in your life. You can be proud. Okay, without further ado, please hand over the three hundred spirit stones. Oh, by the way, you don’t have that many spirit stones. I can wait for you to ask your sister for it. Anyway, you like it. Someone who cowers behind a woman.”

However, he was so confident that he didn't even notice the round mouth of Gu Mingyue next to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Yang Heng, why are you so confident that you won?"

Yang Heng glanced at Yang Chen disdainfully. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw the four bone-returning pills in Yang Chen's hand!

Four!

There was one more than him?

"How is that possible!" Yang Heng was shocked.

Yang Heng's servant suddenly became unhappy: "What's the use of just quantity? What matters is quality. The quality and quantity of our young master Heng's elixirs are all first-class bone-returning elixirs!"

"Are you sure that the quality of my bone-returning pill is not as good as your young master?" Yang Chen yawned lazily. "If you think you haven't seen it clearly, I don't mind letting you take a closer look. It won't be too late to give me an answer when you can distinguish it clearly."

Yang Heng had actually already identified the material from which the elixir was refined by Yang Chen, but he couldn't believe that this was true. Because, the quality of Yang Chen's Chengdan is surprisingly even better than him. With that kind of crystal clear luster, as long as there is no brain problem, you will definitely know who wins and who loses.

Gu Mingyue could hardly believe her eyes at this time. She said happily: "Master Yang Heng, I am willing to admit defeat. You understand this truth."

Yang Heng's face turned pale.

And his servant Xiaohui couldn't believe this fact.

Yang Heng glanced around and found that there was no one around, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Chen, how on earth did you do that?"

"How I did it, I don't seem to need to report to you. You just need to know that being low-key does not mean cowardice." Yang Chen said slowly. "You have lost now. If you don't admit it, we can go to the Elder's Mansion to find Mr. Yang for appraisal. I believe justice will prevail in the people's hearts."

When he heard that he was going to the Elder's Mansion, how could Yang Heng be willing? The fact that he lost three hundred spirit stones today had been shamefully thrown to his grandma's house. How could he let other people know about it?

"No one is allowed to talk about today's matter." As he spoke, Yang Heng angrily yelled at his servants.

"Yes, Master, we understand."

Next, Yang Hengcai was so angry that he said fiercely: "Of course I am willing to admit defeat. Take these three hundred spirit stones. Remember, if you dare to tell this matter, I will make you look good."

He actually wanted to default on the debt, but he was afraid that Yang Chen would reveal the matter. Otherwise, how could he have the face to show off to others? He had to hand over these three hundred spirit stones.

Seeing Yang Heng handing over the huge sum of three hundred spirit stones, Gu Mingyue burst into tears of joy. She stood up in a hurry and ran to Yang Caidi. She had to tell Yang Caidi the good news. This is great news.

Their young master didn't lose money this time, but actually made money.
