Chapter 161: Chapter 161 - Pill Clouds
Morgan’s face changed, but before he could say anything, I slapped him hard!
While my slap wasn’t overly forceful, it still made his cheek swell considerably!
"Mason Raymond, how dare you openly hit someone! I’m going to disqualify you!" Lucian River shouted from the audience, quickly standing up to loudly reprimand me.
I couldn’t help but sneer, "Are you blind? Weren’t you dumb when he hit me just now?"
Lucian huffed, "Sorry, my eyes were uncomfortable just now, so I didn’t see it."
I was already accustomed to Lucian’s shamelessness.
I glanced coldly at him and was about to speak when the audience suddenly grew restless.
"Lucian, are you treating all these people as blind?"
"That’s right, when your disciple hits someone you pretend not to see, but when someone else hits someone, you jump out? You’re really a double standard dog!"
"If you want to disqualify someone, disqualify everyone!"
The voices of condemnation from the audience surged like a tidal wave.
Lucian’s face visibly changed color. He never imagined he would provoke such public anger!
After all, these people usually came to him with requests. Weren’t they always polite when they met him?
Faced with the audience’s condemnation, Lucian could only clench his teeth and wave his hand, "Forget it, let this be an exception!"
The audience scoffed, no longer taking Lucian seriously.
What a joke! I, Mason Raymond, who possessed the spiritual fire and had defeated the old Grandmaster, was far more valuable than Lucian!
For these merchants, what they excelled at most was taking sides at opportune moments.
"Time’s up!" The host slowly walked onto the stage.
He looked at us contestants and said, "Please, contestants, remove the lids."
Morgan got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and stared at me, saying, "You will not win!"
I remained silent, completely ignoring him.
Soon, the other three contestants removed their lids and took out their Pills.
Although their Pills weren’t bad, they were unlucky to meet me and Morgan, so no one paid attention to them.
Everyone’s attention was focused on us two.
Morgan squinted and said, "Mason Raymond, you better watch closely!"
With that, Morgan yelled and directly flipped the lid off his container!
In the container lay a red pill.
A thick medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire venue!
"Is this... a Life Extension Pill?"
"Yes, it’s a Life Extension Pill, it’s definitely a Life Extension Pill! Wasn’t it said that the formula for Life Extension Pill had been lost?"
"It is said that the Life Extension Pill has miraculous effects and can forcibly extend a person’s life by three days! It’s against the heavens!"
"Morgan is indeed a genius!"
Three days’ worth of life extension! This was definitely an invaluable holy item!
Do you know how much a Great Family can accomplish in three days?
Seeing this, Lucian River laughed even harder.
"Mason Raymond, I don’t believe you can come up with a better Pill," Morgan sneered continuously.
I glanced at Morgan and nodded slightly, "Your talent is indeed good, it’s a pity that you followed the wrong person."
"Shut the fuck up!" Morgan said coldly.
"No matter how you produce the spiritual fire, any aristocratic family would want me based on my alchemy skills!"
"Today, you’re going to lose!"
I didn’t say anything, my face remained calm, showing no emotion.
"Alright, Mason Raymond, it’s your turn," Lucian stood up, his hands clasped behind him.
I glanced at him and nodded, "Okay, then I’ll show you what a real Pill is!"
With that, I lifted the lid with one hand!
Inside the container lay eight bean-sized pills.
These pills seemed ordinary, not even having a medicinal fragrance, but instead, they carried a faint stench.
The scene was suddenly quiet, and after a moment, bursts of echoing laughter came from the judges’ seats.
"Hahaha! What is this, shit pellets?"
"Damn, after all that, this is what you came up with?"
"It seems that Mason’s technique is still not proficient enough, what a pity."
Lucian just kept sneering.
"Sure enough, controlling the Blue Spirit Fire is extremely difficult. It’s clear that he failed." Lucian clasped his hands behind him and smiled faintly.
Morgan looked at me and mocked, "I thought you had some incredible Pill, but this? You’re making people laugh!"
I still remained silent, my expression extremely calm.
"Although Mason failed, his potential definitely surpasses Morgan’s."
"Yes, very true. If there’s a chance, we must befriend him."
The people below still looked favorably upon me, after all, the Blue Spirit Fire was too shocking.
"Mason, you lost. Host, you can announce the result." Lucian clasped his hands behind him and spoke indifferently.
The host nodded, then said, "Now I announce that the winner is..."
"Wait."
At this moment, I finally spoke.
"Do you have anything else to say?" the host asked.
I replied indifferently, "Who says I lost?"
"Mason, the result is already in front of us. Do you still want to cheat? Let me tell you, the audience’s eyes are sharp!" Lucian sneered.
With one sentence, he gathered all the audience members on his side.
But I didn’t care. I looked at everyone and said with a light smile, "You jumped to conclusions without even looking at the Pills. Isn’t that inappropriate?"
"Without even looking at the Pills? Are you stupid? Isn’t it right in front of us? What, can’t accept losing?" Morgan sneered.
I smiled and said, "This is just a starter, not the real Pill."
With that, I walked to the container.
I looked at everyone and said slowly, "Please, prepare yourselves mentally."
"Showing off."
Morgan scoffed.
I ignored him, raised my hand, and slowly reached into the container.
Meanwhile, my palm flicked, pushing the eight Pills to one side.
Then, beneath the eight Pills, a purple Pill was hidden!
The Pill was shimmering with a dark glow, making it look extremely strange.
"What... what is this? Why haven’t we seen it before?"
"Hmm... although we have never seen it, one look tells you it’s extraordinary."
"Indeed, the Pill seems to be full of mystery."
Lucian’s face darkened. He hastily got up and said coldly, "Mason, we’ve never seen this Pill before, and nobody knows its effect. So, the championship still goes to Morgan, alright?"
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.
Although the Pill I had refined looked extraordinary, no one knew what its specific effects were.
I, however, remained unruffled. I smiled and said, "It’s rumored that top-grade Elixirs are divided into Divine Rank, Earth Rank, Profound Rank, and Yellow Rank. The Divine Rank is the highest, while the Yellow Rank is the lowest. But even the lowest Yellow Rank can trigger Pill Clouds. Therefore, Pill Clouds are the only criterion for judging top-grade Elixirs."
"What do you mean? What are you trying to say?" Lucian frowned.
I said indifferently, "Please enjoy the Pill Clouds."
As soon as my voice fell, colorful clouds began to gather in the sky one after another!
Pill Clouds formed!
