Chapter 451 Two-Person Alchemy
Fanglai City's central square has always been a venue for various large-scale events, and the surrounding area can accommodate thousands of people.
Before long, people from the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion and the Alchemist Guild had arrived.
As expected, none of the allies brought in by either side have clearly stated their positions at this point; they are waiting for the outcome of the match.
Even before either of them stepped onto the stage, the entire arena was already surrounded by spectators, a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder.
Even so, the crowd's enthusiasm remained undiminished, and they all craned their necks, eagerly anticipating a thrilling match.
When the two stepped onto the ring, a burst of extremely enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from below.
"Hmph, let's have a competition now and see who is the number one alchemist in this Fanglai Kingdom!" Elder Bao mocked.
Leng Yun looked around but didn't see anyone from the royal family. He suddenly remembered what the Red Knight had told him: be careful of the royal family.
“Then we’ll go for best two out of three!” Elder Pale said.
"Alright!" Elder Qiang said.
"Then let's stop talking nonsense and start the competition. In the first round, Elder Qiang and I will refine a pill together using the same alchemy furnace!" Elder Bao said.
"What?" Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.
"Could it be that the two of them are practicing the same elixir together?"
"Yes, how can we coordinate well like this?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, wondering what new trick the two of them were up to.
Even Leng Yun found it a bit strange.
He knew that the most important thing in alchemy was concentration. Even a person can be distracted at times. If two people were using the same alchemy furnace at the same time, the chances of failure would be extremely high if they did not coordinate well.
It may seem that two people are stronger than one, but in reality, it is more dangerous.
However, Leng Yun thought about it again and realized that since Elder Bao and Elder Qiang were able to make such a request, they must have great confidence.
Perhaps they have been working together in private for many years and are in perfect harmony, while no one on my side has such ability.
Leng Yun turned around and looked at Elder Pale and the others.
Since the Miracle Medicine Pavilion has made such a request, they will naturally accept it.
“Alright! This is the first time we’ve tried such a strange method of alchemy, so let’s give it a try.” Pale said, looking at Teacher Gara beside him.
After all, these two have worked together for many years, and if we're talking about who has the best chance of refining medicine together, it's the two of them.
Galo nodded: "Okay, you take the lead, and I'll assist you from the side."
After discussing it, the four of them went up into the ring.
The arena was very large, with two alchemy furnaces in the center. Behind one furnace stood Elder Bao and Elder Qiang, and behind the other stood Pale and Gara.
At this moment, the surrounding audience was completely aroused, because it was the first time they had seen such a strange way of two people making medicine.
Cheers erupted from the crowd, all relieved that the trip hadn't been in vain, as the first match had been so exciting.
The first round of the competition involved refining a fifth-grade elixir. Although it was quite complex, it was not a difficult task for the four veteran alchemists on the stage.
The alchemy process began. Pale poured his flames into the alchemy furnace, while Gara beside him was merely helping to retrieve the medicinal herbs or increase the temperature of the furnace, offering no real assistance.
Anyone could see that, although it was nominally a collaboration between the two, it was actually just Pale doing the refining of pills.
However, the situation was different on the side of the two elders of the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion.
They are a true two-person team.
Two flames entered the alchemy furnace simultaneously, and then each of them put in a type of elixir, slowly extracting its essence.
In this way, in terms of the speed of medicine refining alone, the Qiyao Pavilion is already twice as fast as the two pale people.
Even Leng Yun secretly sighed, "These two have indeed been working together for a long time and have become so in sync that they can understand each other perfectly!"
Thinking of this, Leng Yun had a bad feeling; he sensed that he might lose to his opponent in the first round.
As the medicine-making process continued, the temperature in the entire square rose considerably, and some people standing in the front row were already sweating profusely.
However, these people showed no intention of quitting, remaining in the best positions with their eyes fixed on the situation on the stage.
It wasn't until later that Leng Yun realized that the two elders were not simply working together.
It turns out that Elder Bao's flames are more violent and powerful, while Elder Qiang's flames, though weaker, can enhance Elder Bao's flames.
The two complement each other, making the pills they refine faster and of higher quality.
"I never imagined that there were such methods of alchemy in the world. I had never even heard of them before," Grand Tutor Pang exclaimed, watching the two elders' techniques.
Leng Yun nodded but did not speak.
He stared at the flames in the alchemy furnaces of the two elders of the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion. At this moment, the flames of the two elders had merged into one, and all the essence in the center had begun to gradually merge.
Meanwhile, Pale and Galo had just finished extracting the last essence.
Immediately afterwards, the two began to blend several essences together.
However, the fact that it was a collaboration between two people actually increased the difficulty.
At the most critical moment, the pale flame suddenly trembled and evaporated its essence!
This means that the alchemy attempt has completely failed!
Meanwhile, many people gasped in shock!
Leng Yun also discovered that quite a few of the people who had been on the side of the Alchemist Guild had secretly gone to the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion.
A few minutes later, the two elders of the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion had successfully refined the pill.
The outcome of the competition was obvious; there was no need to even assess the quality of the two elders' pill-refining.
However, Leng Yun could tell that the pills refined by these two elders were also top-grade fifth-rank pills.
"Haha, so this is the skill level of the Alchemist Guild's president and Teacher Jialuo? They even failed to refine a fifth-grade pill." Elder Huai mocked.
Pale and Gara looked grim; it was their first time working together to refine pills, so their failure was to be expected.
At this moment, a burst of enthusiastic cheers rang out from the surroundings, clearly indicating that most people had begun to support the Miracle Medicine Pavilion.
Seeing this, Old Huai was even more pleased: "Who wants to compete with me in the second round?"
The old man and Jialuo looked at Leng Yun: "Brother Leng Yun, now it's all up to you!"
Leng Yun nodded and walked straight to Elder Huai.
“I’ll compete with you,” Leng Yun said coldly.
When Huai Lao saw Leng Yun, he became extremely envious, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
"Wait a minute, since we're going to have a competition, how about we add a little more stakes?" Old Huai said.
