Even if he felt unsure, Yao Hong knew that he could not back down and admit defeat at this moment.
He had to grit his teeth and continue speaking.
"Good, since you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, I'll make sure you learn your lesson!"
Jiang Dan nodded proudly, looking at Qin Xuan.
"Disciple, there's no need to hold back today. Give them a good lesson, make them remember, and let them know that our lineage is not to be trifled with."
Jiang Dan forcefully exhaled a breath, staring intently at Yao Hong in front of him.
Hearing these words, Yao Hong also clenched his fists.
"Skill with words is not true skill. We Alchemists prioritize demonstrating true ability with our hands."
Speaking of this, Yao Hong turned to look at Yao Ling.
"Disciple, go!"
"Today, you must thoroughly deal with him and make him realize the immensity of heaven and earth."
Yao Hong said loudly. Hearing this, Yao Ling, who was beside him, quickly stood up and nodded.
"Yes, Master."
"Then let's begin!"
Seeing that Qin Xuan had arrived, the crowd, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately shouted all around.
Evidently, they all wanted to see whose Alchemy skills were superior between Qin Xuan and this Yao Ling.
Not just them, Jiang Dan was also impatient.
"Good, then let's begin. However, before the official competition, some things still need to be clarified."
Jiang Dan spoke, looking at Yao Hong.
"It was agreed before that there would be three rounds, and we only needed to win one. Now only one person from your side has come, what do you say about that?"
Hearing this, Yao Hong sneered.
"Jiang Dan, it's a shame you're a Five-Rank Alchemist, speaking like a child playing house. Since you're so confident you can defeat us, why are you pulling this now!"
"Good, then let's decide the winner in one round. From now on, the loser must automatically defer to the other whenever they meet."
Jiang Dan spoke directly.
This time, it was Yao Hong who was stunned in place.
He didn't expect Jiang Dan to so directly decide the outcome in a single round.
He was completely unfamiliar with this Qin Xuan, so he naturally hesitated.
But Jiang Dan coldly smiled.
"What's wrong, are you scared?"
"If you don't dare to compete with me, then just go back obediently, lest you make a fool of yourself here."
Yao Hong was in a difficult situation and could only grit his teeth and nod.
"Good, this saves trouble. Let's settle the grievances between us for so many years today."
The grievances between these two lineages had lasted too long, and at such a time, neither side was willing to give in.
They both wanted the other lineage to bow their heads from then on.
"Good, prepare the Pill Formula. This time, let's compete by refining a Five-Rank Pill, how about it?"
Looking at Yao Hong, Jiang Dan spoke coldly.
"Five-Rank Pill!"
Yao Hong's pupils immediately constricted, and he hastily turned to look at Qin Xuan.
He hadn't expected Qin Xuan to be able to refine a Five-Rank Pill already.
"Can your Disciple refine a Five-Rank Pill?"
Looking at Qin Xuan with doubt, a look of disbelief flashed in Yao Hong's eyes.
"What's there to doubt? I'm confident in saying this. Then let's refine the Five-Rank Pill, Purple Heart Spirit Opening Pill."
Jiang Dan said.
Qin Xuan had refined the Purple Heart Spirit Opening Pill before.
This was currently the most reliable Medicinal Pill.
"Is that so!"
At this moment, a strange smile appeared on Yao Hong's face.
"Jiang Dan, what you said isn't right, is it? This is your home ground, so it's not appropriate for you to choose the Medicinal Pill. Who knows if your Disciple prepared this kind of Medicinal Pill in advance?"
Hearing this, Jiang Dan was startled and nervously swallowed.
All his little schemes had been guessed by the other party.
"Is this Purple Heart Spirit Opening Pill not a Five-Rank Pill? According to the rules, this item meets the requirements. What other objections could you possibly have?"
Hearing this, Yao Hong shook his head repeatedly, staring at Jiang Dan with a half-smile.
"It's not that simple. This concerns the struggle between our two lineages, how can it be settled so simply?"
"If so, it would be too unfair to my Disciple."
Speaking of this, Yao Hong looked at Jiang Dan.
"I have a method here, it just depends on whether you have any objections."
Jiang Dan stared at Yao Hong, confirming that the other party was unwilling to compromise, and he was left with no choice.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Dan glanced at Qin Xuan and could only nod slightly.
"Good, since you've said so, then tell me."
Yao Hong smiled and nodded.
"My suggestion is simple: I will write down several Pill Formulas for Five-Rank Pills, and you choose one from them, or you write, and I choose, how about that?"
Yao Hong said, looking proudly at Jiang Dan.
Hearing this, although Jiang Dan was very unwilling in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and agree to the other party.
"Good, then you write, and I'll choose. But you can't write too few; if there are too few, that won't work either."
Jiang Dan was afraid the other party would use the same tactic.
"Don't worry, I'm not like you."
After mocking Jiang Dan, Yao Hong began to write down the Pill Formulas to the side.
Soon, the Pill Formulas were written out.
Looking at these Pill Formulas, Jiang Dan felt helpless.
If he chose one that was too simple and Yao Ling refined it, wouldn't his side be in trouble?
But if it was too difficult and Qin Xuan couldn't refine it, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Therefore, Jiang Dan felt extremely helpless for a moment.
However, after struggling for a long time, the helpless Jiang Dan slowly chose one of the Pill Formulas.
Placing the Pill Formula aside, Yao Hong glanced at it and also nodded.
"Dragon Elephant Body Transformation Pill, it's not bad, but it seems you don't have much confidence in your Disciple."
Yao Hong said mockingly. Clearly, Yao Hong was disdainful of Jiang Dan's actions.
"More talk is useless, let's begin. You two quickly go prepare the medicinal ingredients."
At Jiang Dan's command, someone immediately began preparing the medicinal ingredients.
Before long, the medicinal ingredients were delivered.
"Check the medicinal ingredients, lest you lose and then claim I tampered with them."
Hearing this, Yao Hong shook his head noncommittally.
"It's not that bad. Though you are disgusting, you wouldn't stoop to that level."
Hearing Yao Hong's affirmation, Jiang Dan's expression became incredibly ugly.
Yao Hong's words were clearly mocking him, implying he acted despicably.
"Send the medicinal ingredients over."
Jiang Dan ordered, and two Disciples of Dan Peak delivered the Pill Formula and medicinal ingredients to the two individuals respectively.
Qin Xuan and Yao Ling both glanced at the medicinal ingredients and nodded, confirming they were correct.
"Good, since there are no problems, let's begin. The rules are simple: if the finished products are the same, then we'll see who used less time."
"If the qualities are different, the one with higher quality wins."
After Jiang Dan finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the start.
