Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 186: This is the Miracle!
Zhou Fan entered the alchemist building, seeing that there was Huo Yu there.
"Junior, you're finally here." Huo Yu greeted Zhou Fan so politely, making some people around look on in surprise.
"They were alchemists who were in the shade of the alchemist building. They were great alchemists from all corners of the Han Empire."
Zhou Fan still silently heard Huo Yu's words.
"All of you, introduce him is Zhou Fan. Don't look from the age, he is a great alchemist. You could say greatest. If you ask me where I've made progress, he's the one. It's all because of it."
The dozens of alchemists gathered looked at Zhou Fan so fixedly, great doubts still lodged in their heads.
Is it possible for a young man in his twenties to be greater than them, greater than Huo Yu who earned the nickname of the greatest alchemist, how could it be!
Despite having heard Huo Yu's statement, they couldn't believe it just like that.
"Chairman, I think you're overreacting. Although it was an alchemist, it was also at most only a two-star alchemist." A middle-aged man said out loud.
Huo Yu clenched his hands, he had regarded Zhou Fan as a senior in the alchemy world, but this fellow had instead looked down on Zhou Fan. Isn't this the same as lowering his abilities?!
"Cing Xu, watch what you say. Or I taught you a lesson myself."
Receiving a warning from Huo Yu, the middle-aged man was instantly silent. But a moment later he said, "If it's true that he's so great, I challenge to make a pill. How's it?"
"Cing Xu! Don't overdo it, if you want to fight let me face you." Huo Yu was very upset, he came forward accepting Cing Xu's challenge.
According to him, it was very easy for Zhou Fan to defeat Cing Xu, therefore there was no need to intervene, he alone was enough.
However Cing Xu caught on with a different point of view, he had thought Huo Yu had intentionally done so out of concern that the so-called great alchemist had lost to humiliation.
"Chairman, why are you so worried? If indeed he is a great alchemist, even greater than you, what are you worried about?" Cing Xu smiled faintly, increasingly convinced that Zhou Fan was merely a lowly alchemist.
Huo Yu clenched his teeth, unable to bear the alchemist attitude that was under his shade. However, as he wanted to say again, Zhou Fan came forward and immediately took out a black cloud furnace.
"Don't say much, take out your furnace and we fight." All the alchemists were surprised to see Zhou Fan accept the challenge, they had the chance to think that Zhou Fan did not dare. But seeing him take out the furnace, maybe they misjudged.
Cing Xu momentarily fell silent, then took out a furnace that was larger than a black cloud furnace. In terms of appearance, it is also more luxurious with gold accents that surround the lips of the furnace.
"Pill type, I decide. Do you mind?" Cing Xu glanced at Zhou Fan, thinking his terms would be rejected.
But it didn't take long for Zhou Fan to agree, "Alright, as you say."
Cing Xu took out a scroll, opening before everyone. "This is a bone-forming pill recipe, a level nine pill. Assessment of the speed of the pill making process, as well as the quality of the resulting pill."
Huo Yu shook his head in a fit of resignation. Even he himself would not be able to defeat Zhou Fan, but Cing Xu who had just reached a five-star alchemist with his footsteps was defiantly making a level nine pill.
"Servant, get me this ingredient." Cing Xu said to a servant, telling him to take the materials from the storage warehouse.
The waiter immediately left, while Cing Xu left on his waist with a confident expression. "All of you must be witnesses to this match, witnesses to my victory."
The servant who took the materials back while carrying two storage rings, handed each one to Zhou Fan and also Cing Xu.
Cing Xu walked closer to the dragon furnace, his beloved furnace. Then take out the ingredients to make a level nine bone-forming pill.
While Cing Xu began to prepare, Zhou Fan looked at the servant-giving ring. This made the other alchemists sneer. "What did he do, did he give up before the game?"
After a long while of just looking at the materials present within the storage ring, Zhou Fan spiked near the black cloud furnace.
Bone-capping pill?
"Hem... Let me show you what a miracle is," Zhou Fan said softly as he took out the ingredients. The hand started flicking the flames, regulating the temperature with both hands.
Wosh's...
The flames within the black cloud furnace overflowed, Zhou Fan inserted all the ingredients directly in one move. The eyes of the dozen alchemists were wide in disbelief.
"What did he do, was he intending to blow up the furnace?" Several alchemists exclaimed in unison, Zhou Fan's actions were greatly inversely proportional to the manner of pill-making in general.
Cing Xu smiled, "It turns out that only beginners don't know the height of the sky. I thought it would be hard, it was easy." Cing Xu confidently put in the ingredients one by one, no longer worried about Zhou Fan for thinking he had failed.
They all thought Zhou Fan would fail, but not with Huo Yu who fully believed. It was only a tier nine pill, even he had made a soul level pill.
The head of the alchemist building was instead looking forward to what kind of surprise Zhou Fan was going to show. The way Zhou Fan cultivated was very different from what he had known all along, perhaps he could take valuable lessons for the sake of his progress.
Some time happened and the atmosphere of the pill making room of the alchemist building was still so crowded and tense. Not only the alchemists gathered, but also the guards and even the servants watched the match between Cing Xu and Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan who was regulating the temperature of the flames within the black cloud furnace suddenly put together a hand and finished. Seeing that the opponent had finished, Cing Xu quickly ended his pill-making process.
It could be said that the two were finished at the same time, even though Zhou Fan started pill making slower than Cing Xu which was half of the overall time.
Zhou Fan moved away from the furnace, as did Cing Xu. They let the alchemists check who was the winner in the match.
They gathered in Cing Xu's furnace, opening with vigor. No one knew if there was a pill in the furnace, but the chances of Cing Xu failing were very small.
"Bone level nine bone-forming pill." One of the alchemists raised him up high.
Cing Xu smiled confidently, he already knew he would succeed and was very confident of defeating Zhou Fan. How could he lose to a con man, he thought.
The dozens of alchemists walked towards the black cloud furnace, their expressions doubtful if inside the furnace was a level nine bone-forming pill.
One alchemist reached out, opening the furnace. As soon as it opened the fragrant aroma burst forth and spread throughout the room.
Huo Yu was flabbergasted, the guard was also a servant lulled by the fragrant scent that spread. The old alchemist's hand that opened the furnace trembled, looking at the glowing pill. "It-it ... !"
Cing Xu felt a bad premonition, directly ambushed and examined himself. Once his eyes caught sight of the pill that was inside the furnace, his body fell down.
"Tiered ten bone-forming pill! Bag-how possible!"
