Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Defeating Yu Tai
"Hmm? Those two have started refining."
The surrounding alchemists exclaimed.
All the alchemists present were renowned alchemists from Medicine Life City and nearby cities.
Holy-grade alchemists were everywhere.
Yet, they didn’t dare to start refining immediately.
The elder and Xiao Yi had already commenced, leaving the crowd astonished.
"That’s Master Yu Tai, famous for a long time in the Four-direction Domain, and the Sub Hall Master of the Medicine Venerate Hall Branch."
"Such a figure beginning immediately is expected."
"But who is that young brat, daring to start refining ahead of us?"
Alchemists have always possessed a noble status, each one extremely proud.
As for the elder, he was indeed the Sub Hall Master of the Medicine Venerate Hall Branch, no wonder the City Lord of Medicine Life City had higher regard for him.
Just at this moment, two gazes collided in the air.
One gaze was from Xiao Yi, the other from the elder.
Both of them took a glance at each other’s refining situation.
The next second, simultaneously withdrew their gazes, and quickly resumed refining.
"Hiss, they’re speeding up the refining." The surrounding alchemists suddenly gasped.
"Impressive, as expected of Master Yu Tai, his refining steps are incredibly skilled, maintaining order even at such a speed."
"That kid is the same." Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to Xiao Yi.
"Indeed, what is going on with that kid, able to keep pace with Master Yu Tai?"
The surrounding alchemists gradually forgot about needing to start refining themselves.
However, it seemed unnecessary.
Because everyone present knew the focal point of this alchemy competition would only be between these two.
The outcome would only be decided between these two.
Their refining attempts would only waste time, or be mere accompaniment.
In fact, considering the refining speed of these two, others would not finish their elixirs before these two decided the winner.
"Impressive." On the chief seat of the Medicine Life Pavilion, the City Lord’s eyes lit up, fixed tightly on Xiao Yi.
"This City Lord actually misjudged, did not expect you to be a refining talent."
"Is this a talent from one of the forces within our Medicine Life City?" The City Lord looked at the Medicine Housekeeper beside him and asked.
"Or is it a talent from the nearby major city?"
"No." The Medicine Housekeeper shook his head and said, "Medicine Life City, and the surrounding major cities, as far as I know, do not have such a talent."
"He said he was visiting Medicine Life City for the first time."
"I see." The City Lord nodded, face full of smiles.
"Ha." Suddenly, two loud shouts rang simultaneously.
The ones shouting were Master Yu Tai and Xiao Yi.
"It’s starting." The surrounding alchemists exclaimed.
"The final Core Formation step is beginning, and how fast are these two!"
"A Holy-grade Middle Stage elixir is about to form now."
Bang... Bang... Bang...
At the same time, the venue was filled with booming sounds.
"What are those two trying to do?" An alchemist asked suspiciously.
"They are trying to forcefully speed up the Core Formation by striking the furnace." The surrounding alchemists realized.
"The refining speed of these two is about the same, to decide the winner, they can only accelerate the pace."
"They want to force the Core Formation by striking the furnace."
Minutes later, the booming sounds disappeared simultaneously.
Master Yu Tai and Xiao Yi stopped their actions at the same time.
From two nearby alchemy furnaces, a rich Dan Fragrance emerged, as two perfectly round elixirs soared out.
"Simultaneous core formation." The surrounding alchemists widened their eyes.
On the chief seat, the City Lord frowned and glanced at the two elixirs, "Both are at Perfect Level, same tier of elixir."
"Both of your refining speeds are the same, how can this City Lord determine the winner?"
The City Lord frowned.
Yu Tai chuckled, "City Lord need not worry, there will be a distinction in this refining competition."
"Since the Holy-grade Middle Stage pill recipe couldn’t trouble us, let’s make it tougher."
"Something tougher?" The City Lord muttered.
"But in my City Lord’s Mansion, the most potent pill recipe left is only at the Holy-grade Peak level."
"That’s perfect." A cold voice sounded.
The speaker was Xiao Yi.
"Oh?" The City Lord was pleasantly surprised, "Young friend Yi Xiao, planning to give it a try."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Holy-grade Peak?" Yu Tai frowned.
The City Lord, seeing Yu Tai’s expression, laughed, "Master Yu Tai, I remember the strongest elixir you crafted was a Holy-grade High Stage elixir."
"This time, young friend Yi Xiao plans to challenge the Holy-grade Peak elixir."
"Master Yu Tai, do you also wish to try?"
"Alright." Yu Tai nodded.
Soon, the two pill recipes were sent to them.
Materials were also delivered beside them.
"Let’s begin, I don’t want to waste time." Xiao Yi said indifferently and instantly began refining.
However, unlike previously throwing all materials into the furnace, this time he threw them in slowly, sequentially.
Yu Tai’s metaphorickly furrowed his brow, and his expression darkened slightly but continued to refine.
Though Xiao Yi began refining, his speed was evidently slower than before.
The same applied to Yu Tai.
But compared to Yu Tai, Xiao Yi was more orderly, while Yu Tai seemed somewhat erratic.
An hour later.
Dan Fragrance gradually wafted from Xiao Yi’s alchemy furnace.
Yu Tai’s furnace had no reaction.
"Almost there." Xiao Yi murmured.
"Beginning Core Formation again." The surrounding alchemists exclaimed.
At the same time, they looked at Yu Tai, suddenly frowning, "What’s with Master Yu Tai’s furnace, still no response?"
"Could it be this time, Master Yu Tai will be surpassed by an anonymous young brat?"
Yu Tai said nothing, but his face grew grim.
Minutes later, Boom... a rumbling sound rang out.
As it subsided, Xiao Yi exhaled lightly and ceased his actions.
From his alchemy furnace, a round, translucent elixir slowly emerged.
The City Lord took it, peeked at it, and nodded satisfyingly, "The elixir is formed, impressive, young friend Yi Xiao is indeed a refining talent."
Simultaneously, a boom echoed from Yu Tai’s furnace.
However, no elixir emerged, and indeed, it was an explosion.
"You really formed it." Yu Tai glanced at the elixir in the City Lord’s hand, looking grim, faltering for a moment led directly to an explosion.
"The outcome is decided." Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"Of course." The City Lord laughed, "This Medicine Life Pavilion’s alchemy competition winner is young friend Yi Xiao."
"As for Master Yu Tai, there’s no need to be disgruntled; it’s a good thing for the younger generation to surpass us seniors."
"Additionally, extra rewards from this alchemy competition will be granted to Master Yu Tai."
"Thank you, City Lord." Yu Tai grinned broadly.
"Come here, young friend Yi Xiao," the City Lord turned to Xiao Yi, "you are a refining talent, and Master Yu Tai is an established alchemy veteran."
"If you two exchanged learning, there’d be benefits for both."
"Naturally." Yu Tai smiled and looked at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "No need for exchange, I hope the City Lord promptly issues the reward as I’m on a tight schedule."
"Oh? Such urgency?" The City Lord was slightly startled.
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "Please issue the reward promptly, so I can press Yu Tai to leave."
"What? Press Master Yu Tai to leave?" The surrounding alchemists’ expressions shifted.
"Kid, what do you mean?" Yu Tai’s face turned cold.
"Yu Tai, if nothing unexpected happens, that was your last act of refining," Xiao Yi’s voice remained indifferent as ever.
"Before May, you ambushed and looted a Medicine Venerate Hall Law Enforcement Team escort squad, stealing 18 King-grade Elixirs, then wiped them out entirely."
"You have already been wanted by the Medicine Venerate Hall Main Hall, come along with me."
Boom...
With Xiao Yi’s voice falling, a powerful flame instantly condensed and emerged.
