Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 358 The Final Competition

"Referee, can you let me see this pill? I want to know where I lost."

After the referee announced the result of the match, Gu Liu stood up with some unwillingness and asked.

The referees glanced at each other, then looked at Lu Yu.

"Referee, you have the final say."

Lu Yu shrugged.

If they didn't let Gu Liu see it, he wouldn't give up. And even if they let him see it, what could he figure out?

Even Ming Xin hasn't fully mastered the method of using companion pills to improve the overall quality of pills.

Not to mention an ordinary alchemist like him who has never considered this aspect before.

Indeed, in Lu Yu's eyes, although Gu Liu seems to have some talent in alchemy, his adaptability is lacking.

Too conventional.

The disciples of Yao Wang Valley seem to be carved out of the same mold, and their alchemy is all the same pattern.

Such an alchemist, no matter how talented he is, will have limited achievements in the future.

Gu Liu, who was looked down upon by Lu Yu, took the Diamond Pill from the referee and first looked at it and then smelled it.

After looking at it for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he sighed helplessly.

"The pill made by Senior Lu is indeed extraordinary. Gu Liu admits defeat."

He bowed to Lu Yu and then left dejectedly.

Just now, he was full of confidence that he would definitely stay, but now it seems that he is nothing but a joke.

Gu Liu left without looking back, leaving Gu Si in a miserable state.

He watched Gu Liu's figure leave and quietly stood up.

"Why do you want to run? The match is not over yet, where do you want to go, Senior Brother Gu Si?"

Although Ming Xin was looking at Lu Yu, she kept an eye on Gu Si.

Sure enough, Lu Yu's alchemy skills never disappoint.

These are two Heavenly Grade herbs. The Heavenly Heart Pill is a pill that is essential for entering the Gold Core stage from the Foundation Building stage.

Using the Heavenly Heart Pill during a breakthrough will greatly increase the chance of forming a pill, and the strength after condensing the Gold Core will also be stronger.

Suddenly obtaining two Heavenly Heart herbs, now even her own supply is enough.

Thinking of this unexpected gain, Ming Xin's mood became quite pleasant.

With this match over, Lu Yu finally returned to his seat.

Before she had a chance to celebrate with him, Ling Tianqing approached from the side.

"Senior Brother Lu, can you enlighten me on this green Diamond Pill? What exactly is it?"

"This... it seems that the ingredients have grown moldy. It's a special kind of fungus."

Lu Yu touched his head and vaguely replied.

"Oh, it can be like this? It's indeed possible."

Upon hearing this, Ling Tianqing suddenly felt that it made sense, and then took out a manual of alchemical materials from his pocket and started flipping through it.

Seeing his foolish and deceived appearance, Ming Xin's mood became even better.

"Husband, you're amazing!"

She gently leaned against Lu Yu and rubbed against him, then told him about the bet they made earlier.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately became happy.

"You actually won two Heavenly Heart herbs? That's something that is hard to come by. Impressive, impressive. I'll reward you properly later!"

"Hehe..."

Ming Xin was in a great mood.

After their group's match, the remaining two matches quickly began.

After all, there is only one person like Lu Yu. The remaining two groups of competitions did not have any surprises, and all the disciples of the Medicine King Valley won.

In fact, besides facing some extremely talented alchemists, the disciples of the Medicine King Valley are also very capable in combat.

After this round of competitions, Lu Yu and Ling Tianqing each faced a disciple from the Medicine King Valley.

Lu Yu was lucky and encountered Gu Si.

This kid had most of his thoughts focused on gambling, so his alchemy skills were only average.

Previously, he had good luck and encountered weaker opponents, so he made it to the top four easily.

But when he encountered Lu Yu, he was completely defeated.

Because he had lost his bet earlier, his mentality was greatly affected. So, he ended up exploding his furnace during the competition...

Now he had no chance and could only accept his fate of failure.

In another match, another disciple of the Medicine King Valley, Gu San, had a difficult and evenly matched fight with Ling Tianqing, and in the end, he narrowly won.

With this, the first stage of the Pill Refining Competition came to an end.

To everyone's surprise, the Medicine King Valley was completely defeated and didn't even secure a spot in the final.

"Hu... I didn't expect to make it to the top two. I'm really lucky," Ling Tianqing said.

Entering the final, Ling Tianqing was in a great mood. He patted his chest while secretly glancing at Lu Yu and Ming Xin beside him.

Ming Xin was unhappy after being eliminated in the last round. After giving him a cold glance, she snorted.

"Hey, Ming Xin, why are you so cold? We're not enemies," Ling Tianqing said.

"Hmph, you and my husband will soon be enemies, my enemy!" Ming Xin said without hesitation.

"Ah, I don't want that either. But my old man said that if I don't win first place and go back, he'll punish me. You don't want to see me being punished by my old man, do you?" Ling Tianqing said.

"I don't mind!" Ming Xin said fiercely.

Lu Yu found their argument quite amusing. Ming Xin was clearly a child at heart, and she still hadn't realized that Ling Tianqing had been hiding his true abilities all along.

Did he just happen to win by a small margin every time he competed against stronger opponents? That seemed too coincidental.

If there were too many coincidences, then it wasn't normal.

So Lu Yu had reason to believe that Ling Tianqing shouldn't be underestimated.

"Alright, there are only two of you left. The final match is about to begin. Are you both ready?" the referee asked.

"We're ready, we're ready..." Ling Tianqing raised his hand and said.

The referee looked at Lu Yu, who nodded, and continued.

"Since you're both ready, the final match will now begin! The pill to be refined is the Heavenly Heart Pill!"

"What?" Both Ling Tianqing and Lu Yu were stunned.

The Heavenly Heart Pill was a pill refined using the Heavenly Grade spiritual herb, the Heavenly Heart Grass. It was a genuine Heavenly Grade pill!

They were asking these Earth Grade alchemists to challenge a Heavenly Grade pill? Wasn't that ridiculous?

Not to mention whether they could successfully refine it, they probably wouldn't even be able to handle the raw materials.

After all, the Heavenly Grade spiritual herb required the strength of the Gold Core stage to handle it properly.

"Of course, the materials have been prepared for you. You have one day to refine it, and whoever makes more progress wins. Now, let the competition begin!" the referee announced.

With the referee's command, two disciples quickly brought two plates of materials.

The materials for the Heavenly Heart Pill were not complicated, apart from the Heavenly Heart Grass, there were only two other types.

And the Heavenly Heart Grass didn't require the whole plant, only two leaves were needed.

Lu Yu and Ling Tianqing each received one leaf. After receiving the materials, they glanced at each other and almost simultaneously started working.
