The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1205 - Chapter 1205 Chapter 1204 Jade Qincheng

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: Jade Qincheng Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: Jade Qincheng Atop the high platform of the array, Long Zhixin stood with an impressive and striking presence, her bright eyes and white teeth shone, and her flowing black hair attracted many gazes from below.

Although Long Zhixin was very young, she possessed a beauty that could overthrow countries, and her fame had already spread across the Nine Countries, with countless people admiring her.

However, those admirers also understood that with Long Zhixin’s status, how could a common individual possibly be worthy of her?

Only the peerless talents of this generation qualified to become sons-in-law of the Long Family.

At this thought, many people remembered Fang Lin, this guy who was once rumored to be the future son-in-law of the Long Family, yet it all came to nothing in the end.

Opposite Long Zhixin stood another woman, dressed in a white Taoist robe, calm in demeanor. Her appearance couldn’t be considered attractive, especially with a scar on her face marring what was otherwise a beautiful visage.

This woman appeared to be in her twenties, tall and slender with an ethereal quality. Had it not been for the scar, she too would have attracted many gazes.

Unfortunately, a woman’s face is inherently free from imperfections, and once marred, it loses all its beauty.

Moreover, such a scar completely destroyed the aesthetic of the woman’s face.

Long Zhixin looked at this Taoist Sect woman, particularly noticing the scar on her face, and felt very curious.

Logically, with the skills of a Pill Refiner, removing a scar should be a simple task, and if Long Zhixin were to do it, she could use more than a dozen pills to remove the scar.

But this woman had always kept the scar on her face. What did this mean? Is there really a woman in the world who would not cherish her own appearance?

This Taoist Sect woman was named Jade Qincheng, and unlike other disciples, who were known by their Taoist names, used her given name instead.

The name Jade Qincheng made people think it was somewhat inconceivable; this woman’s face was far from being capable of toppling cities or countries.

Of course, if the scar were removed, she would indeed possess a beauty capable of toppling cities.

“Why don’t you remove the scar on your face?” Long Zhixin expressed her puzzlement directly.

Jade Qincheng’s eyes remained placid, even as Long Zhixin brought up the scar on her face, she showed no concern.

“Why should I remove it?” Jade Qincheng counter-questioned with a smile on her lips.

Long Zhixin’s brows furrowed slightly, “Wouldn’t you look better without it?”

Jade Qincheng smiled faintly, “You think my looks aren’t pleasing, but that’s just your opinion, it doesn’t affect me.”

Long Zhixin was taken aback, “Could it be that you think the scar on your face looks good?”

These words were somewhat impolite, but Long Zhixin didn’t care, the other person was from the Seven Seas after all, there was no need for pleasantries.

Jade Qincheng was not offended and said indifferently, “Appearance is just a superficial shell. You may have a beautiful face, and I may have an unsightly one, but so what? It is my own choice, how outsiders view me is irrelevant.”

Long Zhixin huffed, “Speaking such nonsensical words.”

Jade Qincheng smiled slightly, “Ignorance abounds in the Nine Countries, it’s okay if you don’t understand.”

At these words, Long Zhixin became angry. What did she mean by ‘ignorance abounds in the Nine Countries’? Was she looking down on herself?

“The Seven Seas barbarians, just frogs in a well,” Long Zhixin disdainfully said.

Jade Qincheng, unfazed, glanced at the people from the Nine Countries below, her lips curving slightly upward, “The truth lies in the land of the Seven Seas, the creatures of these Nine Countries are still so ignorant and foolish, it’s truly laughable and pitiable.”

Long Zhixin was angry, but upon seeing the other’s calm and composed manner, she silently told herself not to get angry. This was the other’s strategy, to disturb her state of mind. She must not get angry.

“The third contest, both of you will each refine a Nine Flavor Pill, within the time limit of seven incense sticks. The rules remain the same,” Elder Tianjun announced.

Upon hearing that it was the Nine Flavor Pill, many Pill Refiners in attendance showed a change in expression, and some even looked puzzled, as if they had no idea what the Nine Flavor Pill was.

“What is a Nine Flavor Pill? Why haven’t I heard of it?” a young Pill Refiner asked in confusion.

Next to him, an older Pill Refiner frowned and said, “The Nine Flavor Pill is a kind of fringe pill, which few people endeavor to refine. It is said that there are several different methods for refining it in the world.”

“If there are several methods for refining it, then it shouldn’t be too difficult to make,” the young Pill Refiner remarked.

The older Pill Refiner shook his head, “It’s not like that at all. Although there are several methods for refining the Nine Flavor Pill, it seems that each one has its deficiencies, and the Pill Refiners need to figure them out on their own. If one attempts to refine it by the incomplete methods, it’s impossible to produce the true Nine Flavor Pill.”

Upon hearing this, the young Pill Refiner was suddenly taken aback. It turned out that the various methods for refining the Nine Flavor Pill were all incomplete; to put it plainly, there was no complete method for refining the Nine Flavor Pill. To create a true Nine Flavor Pill, a Pill Refiner must be able to complete the Pill Formula on their own.

From this, one could see the difficulty of this third competition. It was not only testing the Pill Refiners’ pill refining skills, but also required the capability to complete the Pill Formula.

When Long Zhixin heard that they had to refine the Nine Flavor Pill, she was slightly surprised, as even she, a prodigy in the Alchemy Tao, found it quite challenging.

On the other hand, Jade Qincheng remained calm throughout, seemingly unfazed by the prospect of refining the Nine Flavor Pill.

A stick of incense had already been lit, and Long Zhixin closed her eyes, pondering over the different Pill Chamber methods for the Nine Flavor Pill, trying to select one for refining.

After all, Long Zhixin was not a Master of Pill; although she already possessed the abilities of a Master of Pill, it was still somewhat difficult for her to refine such a complex pill.

“Eh? Has that woman from the Seven Seas already started?”

“Does she not need to think it through?”

“This can’t be. The Nine Flavor Pill is no small matter; it’s not that easy to refine.”

“Let’s just watch. Perhaps this woman from the Seven Seas is simply bluffing.”

“This is the final competition, and with Long Zhixin present, there will surely be no problems.”

“Indeed, among the young generation of Pill Refiners in the Pill Alliance, Long Zhixin is the greatest.”

“Ahem, have you forgotten about another person?”

“Well, not counting that individual, Long Zhixin should be the most outstanding.”

*****

A gentle glow emanated from around Jade Qincheng, and with every move she made, there was an air of sacred inviolability.

At this moment, Jade Qincheng was placing one herb after another into the Pill Furnace. Each herb, upon passing through her hands, became much more vigorous, as if they were being granted new life.

“This is…”

“Impossible, isn’t it? Can she really be that remarkable?”

“This woman, she reminds me of someone.”

“I thought of him too, but it seems unlikely.”

“The Reviving Dead Wood Body! Unbelievable!”

****

Seeing the white light around Jade Qincheng and combining that with each herb that was revitalized, many Pill Refiners were left agape and at a loss for words.
