Neither Giving In

As the former eldest senior brother, his alchemy attainments were much more profound than Yao Wenhao’s.

In the alchemy competition, he believed that victory was within his grasp.

He had also racked his brain to prepare the questions for the theory test.

Even Sheng Kang, who was revered and conferred the title of Master, might not be able to answer it.

Box

He was confident that Yao Wenhao would never be able to answer.

Yao Wenhao would definitely lose the test, and he would be utterly defeated!

He was definitely the next head of the Eight Treasures Pavilion!

When the two of them began to compete, Yao Qiankun stood in the pill room not far away from them. His body was stiff, and his eyes were wide open as he stared at He Chuan in disbelief.

“Did I really pass the test in the morning?” Yao Qiankun’s heart was in turmoil. Just now, he had asked tentatively about his performance in the morning.

In the end, he barely passed the test!

Although He Chuan’s words were neither salty nor light, Yao Qiankun’s heart was in turmoil.

Passing the test meant that he was one step away from becoming He Chuan’s follower.

“I’ll consider you as passed!” He Chuan said calmly.

Yao Qiankun was completely stunned, and his eyes were wet!

In the eyes of outsiders, he was the fifth son of the Eight Treasures Pavilion’s Head Pavilion, the most beloved son of Yao Wenhao.

Becoming the youngest Pill Master before reaching adulthood meant that one would become famous at a young age and have a bright future.

However, very few people knew the sweat and hardship they had put in.

The juniors of the Yao family were all talented.

His brother was talented in alchemy. Although he didn’t become an alchemist before he reached adulthood, he was accepted by the Eight Treasures Pavilion headquarters as a disciple at the age of 20.

Three years ago, he had already become an alchemist and was working in the headquarters!

Although his second brother’s pill refinement skills weren’t strong, he was still a peak-grade Ordinary Pill refiner.

However, he was quite proficient in business. In fact, many things in the Eight

Treasures Pavilion were handled by him. He could be said to be the actual person in charge of the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

His third brother was the weakest in alchemy but quite talented in martial arts. He was now at the peak of the Life Cultivation Realm, much stronger than Yao Qiankun.

Fourth Brother’s alchemy skills were average, and his martial arts were not strong, but he was quite good at political tactics. Not only did he enter the court as an official at a young age, but he was also highly valued by Emperor Chu and had a limitless future.

On the contrary, other than his alchemy skills, Yao Qiankun was not good at anything else.

Moreover, although he became famous at a young age, his alchemy skills stagnated.

His body was still gradually weakening, he was a Spirit Pill Master but rarely refined pills.

That was why he didn’t dare to reveal the fact that he had beastified his Pill Fire.

This caused their status to decline day by day, and the resources they could use in the Yao clan were minimal.

His second and fourth brothers often reprimanded and bullied him, causing him to give up on himself.

Only when he found out that the Pill Fire Beast Transformation could be resolved did he regain his confidence and hope for the future.

Now that he had met He Chuan’s expectations and passed the test, he was extremely excited.

He Chuan was speechless when he saw Yao Qiankun suddenly choking up. To be honest, he had seen all kinds of talented people in this world and also taken in a favored son of heaven.

Yao Qiankun’s talent was nothing compared to them.

However, what happened in the past made him understand that talent alone was not enough.

Morality was more important.

He Chuan put down the herbs in his hand and patted Yao Qiankun’s shoulder.

Ever since the two of them had met, he was quite satisfied with what they had said and done in Canglan City and the Imperial City.

It didn’t matter if his alchemy skills were lacking. I was better than nothing.

As long as he was willing to work hard, even without talent, he could make Yao Qiankun a Treasure Pill Master!

He Chuan sighed in his heart.

As the Sword Emperor, he was once unrivaled in the limelight and looked down on the world.

However, he did something wrong and became the failure of his life.

You can’tjudge people by their talents!

Even now, even if he had been reborn, that matter was still like a sharp blade that stabbed fiercely into his heart.

He could not let go!

“If you need anything, just tell me!” Yao Qiankun wiped away his tears and said.

“It’s very simple. Use the method I taught you before to refine the Star Stabilizing Pill again!” He Chuan handed over the materials for the Star Stabilizing Pill.

What a joke!

Yao Wenhao and Gui Tuo’s alchemy competition had officially begun. Both of them were meticulously preparing the medicinal ingredients.

Looking at the various medicinal ingredients that had been arranged, Yao Wenhao decisively opened the pill furnace.

He was prepared to gamble!

In the alchemy assessment, both parties needed to choose the Spirit Pills they were best at and refine them.

Then, Master Sheng Kang, who was the invigilator, would judge the grade of the pill, its efficacy, and other aspects.

The higher, the better.

If the medicinal pills were of the same grade, then the one with better medicinal effects would win.

Although Master Sheng Kang had come personally this time, the assessment would definitely be fair and just.

However, if one were to refine a medicinal pill of the same grade, it would be rather difficult to judge the strength of the medicinal effect.

It was inevitable that others would say something if he won.

Only by being able to directly refine a Spirit Pill that was of a higher grade than the other party could he win completely and without any words!

After receiving Master He’s guidance previously, his alchemy attainments had improved quite a bit. Refining that medicinal pill shouldn’t be difficult!

Yao Wenhao immediately released his Pill Fire to heat up the pill furnace and began to throw in all kinds of medicinal herbs.

He knew that Gui Tuo hated him.

It seemed like he wanted to take revenge.

Back then, Yao Wenhao was studying at the Eight Treasures Pavilion headquarters. He and Gui Tuo had become the disciples of a master together, and later, they had a little junior sister.

They were all fond of their little junior sister, and Gui Tuo was constantly courting her.

In the end, Little Junior Sister chose Yao Wenhao to become his wife.

From then on, the two of them were estranged, and Gui Tuo often made things difficult for him.

Yao Wenhao had no choice but to leave the headquarters with his wife.

He didn’t expect Gui Tuo to come after decades.

Gui Tuo’s position in the Eight Treasures Pavilion headquarters made it impossible to use him for the assessment.

Clearly, he was here for him.

If he failed, Yao Wenhao had no doubt that Gui Tuo would destroy all of his forces, and the Yao family would perish!

Whether it was for his wife or for the children, he had to win today’s competition!

Gui Tuo cleaned up all the herbs and started to heat up the pill furnace.

However, his sinister eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Back then, the other party had snatched away the woman he loved the most.

Today, he would snatch everything from the other party!

Gui Tuo skillfully refined the pill.

On both sides of the blue barrier, raging flames surged.

Both of them were top-rank Spirit Pill Masters, and their Pill Fires had long since broken through orange grade. It would take at most six hours for a Yellow-grade Pill Fire to refine a top-rank Spirit Pill.

Sheng Kang looked at the two of them with satisfaction, his eyes filled with admiration.

His gaze stopped on Yao Wenhao. His control over the Pill Fire seemed to have improved quite a bit.

As a mid-rank Treasure Pill Master, his pill refinement skills had already reached the grandmaster level. He could tell that Yao Wenhao’s refining method was extraordinary and profound.

He even had the demeanor of a Treasure Pill Master.

Time passed quickly. Only when night fell did the temperature in the pill room drop.

The two flames gradually extinguished.

Yao Wenhao let out a long breath. His face was covered in sweat, but it was full of smiles.

He had succeeded!

Through He Chuan’s guidance, he successfully refined an extremely difficult pill. He was extremely excited..
