Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Ye is more than a step ahead of Zhan Ziqun in terms of fire control!
One used animal fire and the other used ordinary elixir fire. It only took one third of the time and the effect was even better.
What does this mean?
Even Master Jin, who was blinded by lard, suddenly felt that Zhan Ziqun's bet seemed to be a bit high.
"Hmph! Controlling fire is just the basics! The most important thing for an alchemist is to make alchemy!"
This sentence is so familiar. It seems that someone also said this in Linhai City.
Since Zhan Ziqun was unwilling to give up, Li Ye followed the trend and started the second round.
In order to show fairness, the second round of elixir identification was also unknown to both parties in advance. There were a total of ten elixirs, some good and some bad.
Zhan Ziqun lost the confidence he had in the first round, frowned, and seemed to be in trouble.
"Mr. Zhang, is this difficulty too high?"
Seeing Zhan Ziqun in trouble, Master Jin couldn't help but say, "There are three kinds of elixirs here that even I can't recognize."
Sure enough, it took Zhan Ziqun a long time to barely recognize five of them. Even so, he was sweating profusely, but there was a smile on his face.
On the other side, Li Ye just glanced at it and then understood it clearly.
This reaction not only made everyone feel a little more confused.
"You're just pretending, I don't believe you can recognize them all!"
After all, Zhan Ziqun had studied under an orthodox alchemist for many years. He thought that although he could not compare with the geniuses cultivated by the Alchemist Alliance, he was definitely a step ahead of those alchemists outside.
Even he couldn't know them all, but he didn't believe that Li Ye could know more.
Seeing that both of them had finished, this time, it was Mr. Zhang who came forward in person to host the ceremony. Master Jin and others were slightly surprised.
You must know that Mr. Zhang has not taken action for a long time, and he is semi-reclusive in Tianyu City.
"Among these elixirs, have you ever found a combination of elixirs that you can refine?"
As soon as he asked this question, Zhan Ziqun said confidently, "This is the elixir I found. I hope Mr. Zhang can take a look at it."
Looking carefully, Mr. Zhang's expression remained unchanged and he didn't say anything. He looked at Li Ye.
It was the same list, but after reading it, Mr. Zhang’s eyes suddenly changed.
"This round, you win too."
When this verdict was announced, everyone was immediately unable to understand it. Zhan Ziqun even jumped out!
"Why! Why should he win?"
You must know that there are three rounds in total. He lost the first round of fire control. If he loses in this round, there is no need to compete.
Even Master Jin was unusually bold and began to question, "Mr. Zhang, can you show us the elixir recipes of these two people?"
Many people nodded secretly.
"Are you questioning me for engaging in malpractice for personal gain?"
His face darkened slightly, and many people suddenly realized that the old man in front of them was a genuine Alchemy King! They were actually questioning the judgment of an Alchemy King?
But there are still people who are brave enough!
"Mr. Zhang, I won't accept it! Unless he shows his recipe to everyone!"
Openly questioning Mr. Zhang's judgment, Zhan Ziqun is indeed more courageous than ordinary people. Perhaps it has something to do with his origin. Although King Dan has a noble status, the Zhan family is not bad either.
Being questioned again and again by a junior, Mr. Zhang already had a trace of anger in his heart.
But he didn't have an attack, but asked Li Ye with his eyes.
"It doesn't hurt to show them."
Seeing that Li Ye agreed, Mr. Zhang immediately passed on the elixir prescriptions written by the two to everyone.
Master Jin was the first to get it. When he looked carefully, his face had no expression.
The others quickly took them one by one and looked at them, but they all fell silent.
This made Zhan Ziqun so anxious that he finally grabbed the prescription written by Li Ye.
"Guangling Powder? Tianyang Pill?"
On it, one of them is exactly the same as what he wrote, but there are two other prescriptions that he has never come across.
Zhan Ziqun had obviously heard of these two elixirs, but they were clearly beyond his ability.
"Guangling Powder can remove inner demons and calm the mind. It is a quasi-saint-level elixir. As for Tianyang Pill, it has a great effect on those who practice masculine skills. It is a true holy-level elixir!"
A quasi-saint, a saint. No matter how dissatisfied Zhan Ziqun is, he can't give any reason to refute.
"Are we still going to compete?"
By now, if there are still people who can't see that Li Ye is almost teasing Zhan Ziqun, then they really need to doubt whether his brain is normal.
But Zhan Ziqun gritted his teeth and looked uncertain.
At this moment, I heard him think of something and his expression calmed down.
"Being able to identify the elixir doesn't mean you can refine it! If you just want to control fire and identify the elixir, some medicine boys will be enough! The most important thing for an alchemist is to refine the elixir!"
These words cannot be said to be unreasonable, but everyone can also see that Zhan Ziqun is desperate.
"Young Master Seventh is right. If you can't refine the finished pill, you are not qualified to be a qualified alchemist!"
Since Zhan Ziqun was recommended by himself, Master Jin could only bite the bullet and come forward at this moment.
Li Ye could have refused, but it was obvious that everyone around him agreed with this point of view. If he refused, even if he won, he would not be recognized.
"It doesn't matter, since you seek death yourself, I'll let you do it."
Hearing that Li Ye actually agreed, Zhan Ziqun and Master Jin were a little surprised, but they soon sneered.
"This kid is still too young to be calm."
Mr. Zhang shook his head. Guangling Powder and Tianyang Pill, even he was only 100% sure about refining Guangling Powder, and Tianyang Pill was only 70% sure at most.
With a thought in his heart, a dark green medicinal cauldron appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the medicinal cauldron I have used for many years. You can use it."
Ordinary medicinal cauldrons may not be able to withstand the refining of holy-level elixirs. Mr. Zhang took this into consideration before taking out his medicinal cauldron.
Seeing Mr. Zhang like this, Zhan Ziqun on the other side was not happy.
Master Jin was even more dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's unfair for you to lend him the medicine cauldron."
This is indeed unfair, Mr. Zhang also realized this, but his eyes were faintly cold, and when he glanced at Master Jin, he immediately felt a chill in his heart and closed his mouth.
Li Ye, on the other hand, smiled slightly and said, "Senior, I have good intentions, but it is just two simple elixirs, and there is no need for such a high-end medicinal cauldron!"
Mr. Zhang was a little displeased. He was a little disgusted with the young man in front of him at first, but after looking at it and finding out that he had good talent, he began to love the talent in his heart. But Li Ye was so arrogant, which made him feel a little good.
Weakened a lot.
"It seems that the young man has not suffered enough setbacks. Anyway, it will be good for him to suffer some hardships."
