Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Just Winning

The host of the competition was Lucas Armstrong. With the occurrence of this incident, it was clear that his face looked extremely unpleasant. Sitting there, he said solemnly, "Today is the Alchemist Certification Assessment for my Ninth Division. Since six alchemists do not recognize Peter Brown’s alchemy skills, let’s have a test in front of everyone. If Peter wins, he will become our County Alchemist; if he loses, his cultivation will be stripped, and he will be punished as a chore disciple! Of course, in order to show fairness, if the six alchemists lose, each of them will be fined a million cultivation coins as compensation to Peter, and their cultivation will also be stripped, and they will be punished as chore disciples."

"Do you all agree?" Lucas Armstrong looked at the six alchemists.

After hesitating for a moment, the six alchemists nodded firmly, "We agree."

"What are the specific rules for the competition?" Peter asked.

"Of course, it will be judged based on the situation of the refined pills. If the quantity is the same, the quality of the pills will be used to determine the winner."

One of the alchemists asked, "If there are two regular pills on one side and one inferior spiritual medicine on the other side, how do we judge?"

"Of course, the higher-grade side wins."

Maxine Nelson smiled faintly, "As for stripping the cultivation of the six alchemists and punishing them as chore disciples, since they are participating as a team of six, Peter has to win at least four of them for it to take effect."

It was obvious that Maxine was protecting them!

Peter glanced at Maxine Nelson, but didn’t say much.

The six alchemists looked as if they had taken a breath of relief.

When they looked at Lucas Armstrong again, the old man snorted but did not say much either.

Everyone else asked about the rules and then fell silent.

"Are there any more questions?"

Everyone looked at each other and then shook their heads.

Lucas Armstrong looked at Peter Brown, "Peter, do you have anything else to ask?"

"No, I agree to the competition."

"Good, let the competition begin. The six of you come forward and draw lots; whoever draws will go on stage to refine the pills."

"My name is Simon Farley." At this moment, a seemingly young man stepped onto the stage with an air of arrogance in his face.

"Ah, it’s actually Simon Farley going on stage. He’s the most promising alchemist in the county. I heard that he’s very skilled in alchemy. Peter Brown is in danger this time."

"I bet on the side of the six alchemists winning. It seems I bet right this time, haha."

"Not necessarily, no one knows Peter Brown’s true alchemy skills yet. We have to have someone test him out first."

"Although Simon Farley is skilled, he is only in the middle level among the six people. He may not necessarily win against Peter Brown."

"I just checked the gambling odds, and it’s now one to three, going down."

"It’s normal. Everyone doesn’t understand the situation. The first round is just to test their luck. See? The draw results are out. Everyone should have a better idea of who they are betting on, and when to place heavy bets."

As everyone discussed their bets below, the alchemy competition began on stage.

"Today we will be refining Spirit Merging Pills, which are pills that have an enhancing effect on one’s Divine Sense. Both of you have two sets of Lingcao. Start now."

As the host finished speaking, Simon Farley quickly cleaned the furnace, and after a series of smooth and flowing hand seals, his alchemy technique really excited the audience, making everyone exclaim in satisfaction.

On the other hand, when they looked at Peter Brown, they saw that he appeared very ordinary, the entire process neither too hot nor too cold, nowhere near as eye-catching as Simon Farley.

Seeing the circumstances of the two refining pills, everyone shook their heads, becoming even more pessimistic about Peter’s chances.

"Peter is not doing well!"

At this moment, Summer Miller whispered to the other women.

This time they had followed Peter’s advice and put all their savings into the betting. Naturally, they were worried.

Lotus Spencer looked at Peter and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Have any of you seen Peter’s previous alchemy sessions? What do you think of his current situation?"

As they were all intelligent, after hearing this, everyone laughed when they saw Peter seemingly weak.

"This naughty kid!"

"Haha, interesting!"

Everyone understood that Peter was helping them win money.

With this discovery, the five women felt relieved.

Suddenly, Simon Farley’s Pill Furnace made a sound. When he opened the furnace, five ordinary pills had appeared inside.

He succeeded!

Simon Farley looked at Peter with a smug expression.

At this time, Peter seemed quite ordinary, as if he was clumsily entering the pill-condensing phase.

What surprised everyone even more was that Peter was too energetic, the Pill Furnace almost tipped over. Fortunately, Peter managed to hold the furnace, preventing the pills from being wasted.

"Damn!"

People who saw this shook their heads incessantly, feeling that from this incident, they could already tell that Peter’s alchemy skills were average at best.

As Maxine Nelson sat above, she saw Peter’s actions and smiled, thinking that Peter wouldn’t be so lucky this time.

However, when Peter opened the Pill Furnace, there was an uproar at the scene.

"This!"

All who saw the pills inside the furnace were astonished. To everyone’s surprise, there were five and a half ordinary pills inside Peter’s furnace.

Looking at the five pills, each one seemed inferior to Simon Farley’s.

"Peter Brown wins!"

With the final announcement, the highly unlikely Peter Brown actually won.

Looking at the faces of those who were happy and those who were sad, smiles appeared on the faces of Lotus Spencer and the other women.

"This naughty kid is really pretending!"

"Hurry up and collect the money, and put it on the next round."

The women quickly went to deal with the winnings, and although they didn’t win much, their money had tripled in the first round, thrilling them all.

At this time, the audience discussed privately. Seeing Peter Brown’s performance in the alchemy competition, everyone had a better idea of the outcome. They all believed that Peter Brown had run out of luck, and his luck in the next round would not be as good.

Standing there, Simon Farley looked at the pills in Peter Brown’s furnace for a long time, speechless. He was extremely unconvinced in his heart, and could only sigh at his terrible luck that he had lost to Peter.

When a million cultivation coins were transferred to Peter Brown’s Identity Card, Simon Farley sighed and stomped his foot before leaving.

Although his family was wealthy, after losing the million cultivation coins, their fortune had thinned significantly.

What hurt Simon Farley the most was losing to Peter Brown like this.

Looking at Peter Brown again, they saw him sitting there, deep in thought.

"Both sides rest for half an hour, and then the second round will begin."

Lucas Armstrong glanced at Peter Brown and announced the preparation for the second round.

Of course, this was also to give everyone time to place bets, and everyone rushed to do so.

Although Peter Brown sat there, he was calculating the six alchemists’ skills in his mind. After this competition, he had a better understanding of their alchemy skills, and he was already full of confidence in this competition.

Time was running out, and Peter Brown knew he needed to get as much money as possible to deal with the next crisis.

An agreement had been reached between him and the other women to divide the winnings, with each side taking half. Peter believed that after this competition, he would have a sizable amount of cultivation coins at his disposal.
