As his words carried, Xiao Dancheng walked in.
As soon as Cao Dusheng saw him, his expression darkened and then he let out a cold huff.
“I thought you were playing dead and didn’t dare to come!”
Xiao Dancheng now carried an air of calmness, devoid of any trace of flamboyance, and even when provoked by Cao Dusheng, he simply smiled faintly.
“How could I not show up for a gambling agreement we set in advance?”
Cao Dusheng sneered, “What, is that Alchemy Master too scared to come?”
“Master Xue will arrive shortly, but for now, it’s up to you and me to have our duel. Shall we begin?” Xiao Dancheng said indifferently.
Cao Dusheng paused for a moment, a hint of doubt rising in his heart, for Xiao Dancheng’s demeanor was far too composed.
This was not in keeping with his past behavior.
It was as if he held a winning hand.
At that moment, Lü Baiyue was also observing Xiao Dancheng closely.
She noticed the calmness of the Pill Master, but within his eyes, a faint purple aura was subtly present.
This discovery gave Lü Baiyue pause.
At this time, Cao Dusheng sneered viciously, “Let’s start then! I hope when you lose, you’ll abide by the agreement, crippling your own cultivation level and kneel down to call me Grandfather!”
Xiao Dancheng smiled faintly, “I hope you will do the same!”

Cao Dusheng, seeing this, gritted his teeth, “Putting on a mysterious front!”
The Alchemy Convention already had a complete set of alchemy equipment ready.
And gambling on elixirs was not an unusual occurrence.
However, due to today’s duel involving Cao Dusheng, a rising star among Pill Masters, against an unsung Pill Master from the Eastern Domain, it still drew a crowd of onlookers.
At that moment, a judge from the Elixir Dao Association responsible for overseeing the elixir gamble, walked emotionlessly onto the high platform and announced solemnly, “This elixir gambling match is done with both parties’ consent, and all consequences will be borne by the parties themselves. We shall now begin the first round!”
“Refine a Sun True Elixir, to be completed within three hours, with no restrictions on the pill furnace or pill techniques!”
Boom!
This announcement caused a stir among the spectating Pill Masters.
“Sun True Elixir, it’s actually the Heavenly-ranked Elixir, Sun True Elixir!”
“Starting off with such high-level elixirs and only giving three hours, the difficulty is simply too great!”
It’s known that in Guiyi Star, elixirs are classified into five ranks: Human, Earth, Heaven, Law, and Saint.
Human and Earth Elixirs are considered common Spirit Pills, but once you reach the level of Heavenly-ranked Elixirs, the difficulty in refining them increases dramatically.
Many Yellow Level and even Profound Rank Pill Masters struggle greatly to refine a single satisfactory Heavenly-ranked Elixir.
And for this elixir gambling match, the first round was, astonishingly, the Sun True Elixir, which is considered one of the supreme Heavenly-ranked Elixirs.
This naturally caused a great shock among the crowd.
“This must have been requested by Cao Dusheng himself! After all, everyone in the Elixir Dao Association has to give face to the Quenching Elixir Ancestor! It seems that Cao Dusheng came well-prepared; this isn’t looking good for Xiao Dancheng!”
Originally, many Pill Masters weren’t very optimistic about Xiao Dancheng; now, seeing this scenario, they shook their heads even more.
At that moment, Cao Dusheng said arrogantly, “Xiao Dancheng, it’s not too late to admit defeat now!”
Xiao Dancheng shook his head, “Master Xue said that we’re only allowed to win, not lose. To make you kneel and call out ‘grandfather,’ I cannot back down either!”
Upon hearing this, the Elixir Room fell into silence.
Because this was obviously leaving no room for retreat.
Sure enough.
Cao Dusheng’s face turned a steely blue, “Good! Very good! Since you’re stubbornly clinging to your path, I’ll make your death a swift one!”
With those words, Cao Dusheng swung his sleeves and soared into the air, heading straight for the pill furnace that had been prepared beforehand.
Xiao Dancheng smiled and turned around, walking leisurely towards his own alchemy area.
At this moment, Cao Dusheng pointed fiercely at his pill furnace.
Boom!
From the pill furnace, a riot of five-colored flames soared up, forming the shape of a lotus.
This display of exquisite fire control won a round of applause from the audience.
Cao Dusheng was feeling smug and deliberately glanced at Xiaodan Cheng across from him.
At that moment, Xiaodan Cheng was calmly fiddling with the pill furnace, not showing any impatience, which elicited a cold laugh from Cao Dusheng’s heart.
Then, as if to show off, he began to pick spiritual medicines with a fluid grace.
The Elixir of Sun’s Inferno required over a hundred different kinds of spiritual medicines, each with its unique properties and varying significantly in required amounts, and there was no room for the slightest error.
A mere discrepancy of a millimeter could completely ruin the batch of elixirs.
Therefore, this step of adding ingredients was truly a test for a pill master.
But when it came to Cao Dusheng, none of these were issues.
Each of his movements was dashing and elegant, a pleasure to behold.
In the blink of an eye, he had finished selecting all the hundreds of portions of spiritual medicine.
Meanwhile, Xiaodan Cheng was still leisurely picking his spiritual medicines, falling far behind in progress.
Cao Dusheng was pleased with himself, and the slight concern he had just vanished like smoke.
It seemed he had indeed been overly worried; this old fellow was clearly just stalling for time!
With these thoughts in mind, Cao Dusheng began adding the medicines into the mix.
If choosing the medicines tested the fundamental skills of a pill master, then the act of adding them was a test of the pill master’s Elixir Dao cultivation.
Because at this point, there were only two things you needed to do.
That was to add the correct medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace at the right time.
Every step in the process had to be error-free.
Otherwise, at best the elixir would be destroyed, and at worst, the conflicting medicinal properties could cause an explosion.
After becoming a disciple of Quenching Elixir Ancestor, Cao Dusheng’s pill art had indeed improved greatly.
Take the act of adding the ingredients, for example; his motions were nimble and contained a peculiar rhythm that inevitably swayed the observers’ hearts.
All the pill masters present showed a grave expression on their faces.
Because the technique Cao Dusheng demonstrated made many feel inferior.
Even Lü Baiyue couldn’t help but nod internally.
This Cao Dusheng might love flattery, but his pill art was truly good.
Turning to look at Xiaodan Cheng, he had just finished selecting his spiritual medicines and began to add them to his pill furnace at a leisurely pace.
The entire process was devoid of any haste or showmanship.
While it seemed less aesthetically pleasing than Cao Dusheng’s approach,
if you watched for longer, you would discover that every move Xiaodan Cheng made was so natural.
It was as if every subsequent action was meant to unfold exactly as it did, creating a sense of comfort for the viewer.
Lü Baiyue’s eyes lit up.
With such technique, Xiaodan Cheng’s Elixir Dao cultivation was certainly not comparable to that of an ordinary Profound Rank pill master.
But strangely, why was he only a Yellow Level alchemist?
Lü Baiyue pondered this question in her heart.
When she saw a glint of treasure light above Cao Dusheng’s pill furnace.
“Hiss! Treasure light!”
“With the appearance of treasure light, it’s at least a medium-grade Elixir of Sun’s Inferno of the Heavenly Rank!”
This discovery astonished many of the pill masters present.
And Cao Dusheng’s face was full of pride. The reason he chose to refine the Elixir of Sun’s Inferno was that it was the elixir he practiced the most.
Now that the treasure light had appeared, he was sure of his victory in this competition.
But his pride had barely lasted a moment before it was shattered by several exclamations.
“Good heavens! Look over there!”
Everyone turned to look.
They saw a seven-colored treasure light above Xiaodan Cheng’s pill furnace, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance.
“This… This is the phenomenon that only occurs when an elixir of superior quality is produced!”
