The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Purple Spirit Eye

Guo Zhen took the initiative to challenge Zhao Shenkong, but ended up on the losing end. This was a hard pill to swallow for Guo Zhen and it also dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Meng Kingdom.

However, no one perceived Guo Zhen as being too weak. In this contest of fire control, Guo Zhen wasn’t inferior in any way.

Guo Zhen lost due to the lack of a Fire Spirit, which Zhao Shenkong possessed.

The advantage of having a Fire Spirit was enough to completely tip the scale in this evenly matched duel.

“You lost.” Zhao Shenkong retracted his golden flames, casting a slightly contemptuous look at Guo Zhen.

Guo Zhen clenched his fists, his face filled with malice but he did not utter a word.

Zhao Shenkong slightly smiled and turned to leave. Despite refraining from any more insults or sneers at Guo Zhen, his casual demeanor irked Guo Zhen and the others from the Meng Kingdom even more.

“Hmm?” Turning around, Zhao Shenkong spotted Fang Lin sitting in an elevated position.

Fang Lin smiled at Zhao Shenkong, “Your Soul Commanding Pill Flame isn’t bad.”

Zhao Shenkong slightly squinted his eyes, ignoring Fang Lin.

The most eye-catching duel came to an end, but others continued their own duels and bets.

Among these duels, the participants from Qian Country lost quite a few times, whereas those from Yun Country were winning more.

However, nobody challenged Su Xiaotong, as everyone considered her at the same level as Guo Zhen and Zhao Shenkong. Challenging her would undoubtedly lead to self-inflicted hardship.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin had become the target of many people from Yun and Meng Kingdoms.

At that moment, a young man from Yun Country approached Fang Lin, wanting to make a bet with him.

“What do you want to compete in?” Fang Lin asked, appearing harmless and innocent.

The young man from Yun Country was named Chu He. Among the ten from Yun Country, he was a standout talent. Although his brilliance was overshadowed by Zhao Shenkong, it was undeniable that he was also a prodigy in Alchemy Tao.

Chu He looked down upon Fang Lin with arrogance, “Whatever you’re good at, you choose.”

The people from Qian Country were angered by Chu He’s disrespect towards Fang Lin.

This was not surprising. After all, Chu He was a genius from Yun Country, second only to Zhao Shenkong. His character was naturally arrogant and he didn’t regard the young Pill Refiners from Qian and Meng Kingdoms seriously.

In Chu He’s view, although Fang Lin’s previous performance was flashy, when it came to the real stuff, he was probably not worth mentioning.

Chu He’s purpose to duel and bet with Fang Lin was to completely overshadow Fang Lin’s fame and to gain an advantage for Yun Country in this Pill Refiner’s conference.

To be honest, if it weren’t because Chu He knew he was not Su Xiaotong’s match, he would probably have directly challenged her instead of choosing Fang Lin.

To put it plainly, he was planning to take advantage of Fang Lin, who seemed relatively easy to squeeze.

Upon hearing Chu He’s slightly boastful words, Fang Lin frowned and pretended to think, “What am I good at? I’m good at fighting. Would you like to fight me?”

This remark stunned Chu He while it amused others secrectively. Fang Lin was quite something. This was a Pill Refiner conference, and naturally any competitions should be based on Alchemy Tao. Everyone present was a Pill Refiner, who would physically fight?

Moreover, comparing martial arts here would be absurd and could draw ridicule. Weren’t they afraid of losing face?

“Being a Pill Refiner, naturally the competition should be about Alchemy Tao.” Chu He snorted.

Fang Lin looked innocent, “But I am strong in all aspects of Alchemy Tao.”

Chu He was at a loss for words. Did he think he would die if he were a little low-key? Could he make his bragging more reliable? Saying he was strong in every aspect? Even Zhao Shenkong wouldn’t dare to make such a boast.

People have their strengths and weaknesses, how could everything be perfect, even if you were a prodigy? How could one cover all aspects of Alchemy Tao given their young age?

Even the people from Qian Country, including Su Xiaotong, believed that Fang Lin was deliberately bragging to taunt Chu He.

What they didn’t know was that Fang Lin was completely telling the truth, there wasn’t even a hint of bragging in his words.

“I’ll compete with you on observational skills, alright?” Chu He said through gritted teeth.

Fang Lin nodded and asked, “How do we compete?”

“”Very simple. Each of us observes a furnace of medicine that’s being refined and describes what’s happening inside. Whoever gets it right wins,”” Chu He smirked.

Fang Lin furrowed his brow, “What if I describe it and you just repeat exactly what I said?”

Chu He was taken aback and then he angrily said, “Then we’ll just write it down. Does that work for you?”

Fang Lin smiled, “Since it’s a competition, why don’t we make it more interesting?”

Chu He did not waste any words, directly slapped his Nine Palace Bag and took out an item.

“This is Starlight Grass. Do you know its value?” Chu He said.

Fang Lin’s eyes immediately lit up and he nodded again and again, “Yes, I do know. You’re willing to use such a valuable treasure as a stake, you’re so generous, I’m a bit embarrassed.”

Chu He was instantly annoyed, “And if you lose?”

Fang Lin smirked, took out a gourd containing Heavenly Blue Liquid, “I have a gourd of Heavenly Blue Liquid here, if I lose, I’ll give you half of it.”

Li Jianlong, who was sulking on the side, turned even darker upon hearing this and almost spat out blood.

Unbelievable. He was using his things as a stake. This Fang Lin was simply unbearable!

Upon seeing that Fang Lin actually had Heavenly Blue Liquid, Chu He was also surprised with a very obvious greed in his eyes.

“Alright!” Chu He agreed.

Immediately, Chu He found an official from the Pill Alliance and informed them about the bet between the two. Subsequently, the official brought over a Pill Furnace with pills that were currently being refined.

“Only I know what kind of pill is being refined in the pill furnace. You two can start observing now.” The official from the Pill Alliance stood next to the Pill Furnace, speaking to both Fang Lin and Chu He.

Upon hearing this, Chu He’s eyes became fixated on the Pill Furnace. A gleam of light faintly flashed in front of his eyes.

“This is…” The spectators showed surprise.

Fang Lin also glanced at Chu He but was not surprised. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he had activated the Micro Gold Pupil.

“Look! It’s the Micro Gold Pupil!”

“So impressive!”

“This Pupil Skill is quite challenging to practice.”

Many people praised Fang Lin. The Micro Gold Pupil was a Pupil Skill that was very beneficial to Pill Refiners, but it was quite difficult to practice.

Seeing Fang Lin using the Micro Gold Pupil, Chu He’s expression became very serious. Suddenly, a flash of purple light shone in his eyes.

“It’s here! Chu He’s Purple Spirit Eye!” The talented individuals from the Yun Country exclaimed excitedly.

All those present were astounded. The Purple Spirit Eye was also a Pupil Skill, and in terms of difficulty in practicing, it wasn’t inferior to the Micro Gold Pupil.
