Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: Dragon Fights Tiger

"Damn it, how could he be so powerful."

Dan Qing’s mind was ultimately a bit more restricted, not as carefree as Ji Luoyu.

On the one hand, he didn’t want Tianhai Zhen Zhu to win, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Ling Xiao would completely steal his thunder, it was truly a deep contradiction.

"Spectacular! This is truly a battle of dragons and tigers, who will emerge as the final victor?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "I’ve seen many alchemists’ alchemy scenes, some so-called masters are not even as sharp as these two young people, it’s astonishing."

"What the Ancestor said is so true, purely in terms of technique, these two people are nearly invincible among Yellow Grade Alchemists!"

The First Pharmacist of Changle Immortal Island echoed.

"That’s because you’re not good enough."

Medicine King Sun Ran was a bit unconvinced.

After all, he was the Medicine King of the White Tiger Continent, whatever those two could do, he could do as well.

"Hehe, why is Brother Sun comparing with kids again, you are the famous Medicine King Sun Ran, even if you beat those two kids, it doesn’t mean anything."

Ji Qing chuckled lightly.

"Hmph."

Medicine King Sun Ran snorted coldly and said no more.

"Ji Qing, who do you think will end up with a better result?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster asked.

"It’s hard to say, Ling Xiao is not slow, and his flames are superior, but the method he’s using is highly challenging, whether he can succeed in the end is uncertain.

On the other hand, though Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s flames are not as good as Ling Xiao’s, her speed and skill are not inferior, plus her method has the highest success rate and is the most reliable. The outcome between the two is genuinely a question."

Ji Qing shook his head, even he found it hard to predict the final result.

On the square, neither Ling Xiao nor Tianhai Zhen Zhu paid attention to each other anymore; they were focused on their own alchemy furnaces.

Blue and red flames soared in the square, capturing everyone’s attention.

"Hurry up, Ling Xiao, you’re the hope of our land race, if you lose, we’ll be humiliated!"

Ji Luoyu stood there, hands clenched tightly, trembling all over with tension.

"The final moment is here, Tianhai Zhen Zhu seems to be one step ahead!"

All the alchemists were very anxious, at this last moment, they felt their hearts were suspended in mid-air.

"Not good, Ling Xiao seems to be half a beat slower, what’s going on?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster’s bent body had actually rushed toward the rail ahead, gripping it tightly, more nervous than when he detoxified himself.

"Don’t panic, while speed is important at the last moment, the success of pill refining is equally crucial. If the pills fail, no matter how little time is used, it’s meaningless."

Ji Qing reminded.

"But there’s not enough time!"

Jackson Le Grandmaster said excitedly, "Same is true for pills about to take shape, but Ling Xiao’s gap is widening."

Ji Qing did not deny this, because from his perspective, Ling Xiao was indeed lagging in speed compared to Tianhai Zhen Zhu.

The reason was actually quite simple.

The method used by Tianhai Zhen Zhu was designed by Ji Qing; it was written in books, how to refine, just follow the steps without much thought needed.

But the method Ling Xiao was using was different, it was original.

The further he went, the more considerations he needed, a delay in a single step, and his final speed would certainly not compare to Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s.

"Can victory be secured with the quality of the pills?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster suddenly turned and asked.

"No, at the first stage, Tianhai Zhen Zhu had already lost in this aspect, so this time, she would definitely pay close attention. Thus, the final Transcendent Pill she refines is highly likely to be of Perfect Grade.

If Ling Xiao places his hopes on this, then he’s bound to lose."

Ji Qing shook his head, looking expectantly at Ling Xiao.

He had a feeling, this Ling Xiao, might surprise him once again, he definitely wouldn’t lose to Tianhai Zhen Zhu like this.

"Seems like without playing some hard tricks, I can’t beat Tianhai Zhen Zhu, but fortunately, I had calculated well ahead."

Ling Xiao glanced in Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s direction, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, suddenly, the furnace cauldron in front of him shattered.

This scene took everyone by surprise.

Explosion? Failure?

But when people looked at the shattered furnace cauldron, they found a pill actually hovering in mid-air, spinning continuously.

"Is he crazy? Without a furnace cauldron, how could he continue refining pills?"

Medicine King Sun Ran clapped the armrest of the chair, standing up abruptly.

"But I’ve heard in this world, there’s an ultimate skill for refining pills without using a furnace."

Jackson Le Grandmaster said.

"That is beyond our imagination, it’s rumored that such ultimate skill was brought back from the Heaven’s Chosen Gate, only found on the piece of land closest to the Heaven’s Chosen Gate."

Medicine King Sun Ran shook his head and said.

"But he, maybe he can indeed do it."

Ji Qing’s face revealed a slightly mad smile, "You underestimate him too much, I also underestimated him, this guy might really have received guidance from some master who returned from Heaven’s Chosen Gate, look at him!"

He pointed at Ling Xiao.

Only to see the not-yet-fully-formed pill in mid-air accelerating its rotation, apart from Samadhi True Fire, a strong Power of Red Sun was also integrating into it.

The pill unexpectedly solidified in a flash, becoming smooth and round.

"Collect!"

Ling Xiao gestured, and the pill entered the tray he held, yet due to the high temperature, the metal tray instantly melted into molten iron.

"Bring a special container!"

Ling Xiao shouted.

"Catch!"

If during the competition it is necessary to use a container to store pills, it is allowed by the rules.

The one who threw Ling Xiao a Cold Jade Bottle, with exceptional heat resistance, was An Lian, whom he encountered during the internal test.

This person’s current attitude towards Ling Xiao had long changed from previous disdain and dislike to total admiration and awe.

When the pills were placed into the Cold Jade Bottle, Ling Xiao ended his alchemy.

"Apologies, little girl from the Sea Race, I’ve finished first."

Looking at Tianhai Zhen Zhu, Ling Xiao showed a victor’s smile.

Tianhai Zhen Zhu ignored Ling Xiao; in her view, Ling Xiao rushed and used some special method to solidify the pills.

But doing so would only reduce the efficacy of the pills.

Even if the speed is not as good as the opponent, in terms of quality, she believed she would definitely surpass Ling Xiao.

About two minutes later, Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s pill was finally completed.

She collected her pills, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "You acted out of impatience, taking the crooked path, even if you beat me in speed this time, the quality definitely can’t compare to mine."

With that, she stuffed her pill into the Mechanical Bird’s mouth.

On the Jade Bi, Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s name and score were displayed—

Perfect Transcendent Pill, extremely fast speed, score of one hundred and fifty!

Pill efficacy plus speed, resulted in such a score, thirty points higher than Ling Xiao’s first stage score.

Tianhai Zhen Zhu exhibited her unparalleled abilities!
