Chapter 324: Is Baili Xie Crooked? (4)_1
After returning, Dugu Qianye took out her Pill Furnace and then placed the herbs one by one on the table before her. With few people around and ample space, every contestant had a large table to organize their own ingredients needed for Alchemy.
This time, the competition was a race to cut from ten to five; she no longer needed to hide her strength. She planned to reveal herself during the final stages of the semifinals to really shock Sha Bao. However, she wasn’t planning on shooting up to first place immediately.
She took out the ingredients, intending to refine the Three Element Pill, an Elixir whose rarity went without saying. When she laid out her herbs, she realized that Green Emperor Xiahou’s ingredients were exactly the same! He was also planning to refine the Three Element Pill!
Wasn’t it said that the recipe for the Three Element Pill had been lost? How did he know it?
Feeling Dugu Qianye’s gaze, Green Emperor Xiahou looked back at her and was equally surprised to see her herbs nearly identical to his own. The Three Element Pill was a recipe passed down from ancient times within his family, only known to the heirs of the Medicine King. How could she know of it?
Both were individuals with exceptionally strong mental fortitude, quickly adjusting their mindset to focus intensely on the competition. However, Green Emperor Xiahou knew the true value of the Three Element Pill recipe even more than Dugu Qianye. Curious about how she came to know the recipe, he discreetly observed her actions. He hadn’t expected the shock; her techniques resembled his own a great deal!
A thought crossed his mind, almost ruining a batch of his herbs. Fortunately, he managed to save them in time before they spoiled. Afterward, he dared not let his focus wander to Dugu Qianye again, concentrating on refining his own Elixir.
Considering that her Elixir was the same as Green Emperor Xiahou’s, and not wanting to stand out too much, Dugu Qianye refined her Elixir to the Intermediate Level of the eighth rank. She knew that given Green Emperor Xiahou’s skills and pursuit of Alchemy, he would certainly refine his Elixir to the Advance Level.
