Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor
Chapter 530 - 22: Alchemy Challenge
CHAPTER 530: CHAPTER 22: ALCHEMY CHALLENGE
Seeing Yun Sheng, a little blonde girl, challenge two formidable pharmacists and mages on her own, a crowd of pharmacists and magic pharmacists were all intrigued, staring at the excitement.
"Pharmacist Liu, Pharmacist Li, fight for us, let that little girl see that magic potions and egg medicines are not child’s play, she’s still a minor, let that blonde girl go to hell!"
Lin Yao’er did not know what kind of trick Yun Sheng was playing.
To ensure fairness, Yun Sheng had Lin Yao’er prepare the same alchemy herbs and magic materials.
Under the eyes of everyone, Pharmacist Liu, Pharmacist Li, and Yun Sheng each began their alchemy.
Pharmacist Liu is a Pill Master, he used a wood tripod, while Pharmacist Li is a magic pharmacist, using mid-grade magic flame.
Yun Sheng said it was a competition in alchemy, and also simultaneous concoction of two different potions, but Yun Sheng was not in the slightest bit anxious; instead of starting, she leisurely watched Pharmacist Liu and Pharmacist Li doing their alchemy.
Seeing Yun Sheng not hurrying to act and keeping an eye on them, both thought, "Little blonde girl, you think you can steal our skills, unfortunately, you think alchemy and pill crafting are so easy."
The two even intentionally sped up to prevent Yun Sheng from observing closely.
Yun Sheng watched for a while, and only when the two were far along in their pill crafting and alchemy did she yawn, "Too slow, if there’s an emergency, the patient would have died before your potion is ready."
Lin Yao’er coughed twice, holding back the urge to burst out laughing.
But then she thought, indeed there are some patients who die because the medicine wasn’t administered in time.
As soon as Yun Sheng made this remark, the two pharmacists were displeased, "What do you mean by that! Alchemy is naturally a gradual process, do you think you can speed it up instantly?"
"Then let me show you how I do alchemy," Yun Sheng said, and began her alchemy.
She deftly used both hands, her left hand picking the herbs, and in her right hand, a cluster of Lotus Fire ignited.
A true expert reveals their skill upon acting.
Pharmacists Li and Liu, upon seeing Yun Sheng’s flame, dramatically changed their expressions, especially the mage, who could feel, just by looking, that the lotus-shaped flame was extraordinary.
The Elf Karma Fire, one of the most special flames in existence, belonging to the Fire Elf Queen originally, is no ordinary fire.
Since Yun Sheng obtained the Elf Karma Fire, she had used it multiple times in artifact refining and alchemy; her ability to control fire increased day by day. After she broke through the magic realm, the Elf Karma Fire had also transformed.
The flame was lotus-shaped, with the fire’s color transitioning from red to blue to the heart of the flame, where it had turned purple.
The red fire melts the medicinal herbs and magic materials into a slurry, the blue fire solidifies and evaporates excess impurities from the slurry, and the purple fire purifies and stabilizes the properties of the medicine.
The three-colored flame has temperatures that progressively rise from the outside in. By the time it reaches the inner purple flame, not just touching, but merely approaching it a bit, would instantly turn a person into ashes.
Yet under Yun Sheng’s delicate and skilled hands, such a dangerous flame was as if child’s play.
This three-colored Lotus Fire, not only visually appealing, also boasts extraordinary effects in both alchemy and artifact refining.
Whether it’s making elixirs or concocting medicine, the precise control of fire is indeed the main factor. For ordinary Pill Masters and Pharmacists, during the process of concoction, there’s a need to switch the type of flame. This process requires considerable effort and can easily lead to instability in the medicinal properties, affecting the final medicine.
However, Yun Sheng possesses three types of flames, which means she can spend less than half the time others need.
But the crucial factor for Yun Sheng’s speed is not the flames, but the proportion of medicinal herbs. We see her constantly adding ingredients to the flames with her Yanling’s Hand, and each time she does, the amount is precisely accurate.
Before writing that little cheat sheet, Yun Sheng had already repeated the concoction process at least hundreds of times, calculating the optimal amount of medicine and the quality of the final product, which led her to create that cheat sheet.
All the Pill Masters and Pharmacists were dumbstruck, only seeing Yun Sheng’s hands moving nonstop like spinning tops.
In just 15 minutes, Yun Sheng already had produced ten Elixirs.
Another 15 minutes passed, and Yun Sheng had concocted a bottle of Magic Potion.
Meanwhile, both Liu and Li hadn’t finished their concoctions yet, and were already drenched in sweat.
Just by looking at the color of the Magic Potion and the scent wafting from the Elixirs, everyone already understood that the rank of Elixirs and Magic Potions Yun Sheng produced was very high.
Moreover, the time she spent was only one fourth of what the other two spent.
She was facing two opponents alone, and her skills in concocting Elixirs and Medicine, not to mention in Great Zhou, even on the whole continent, no one could surpass her.
Even if someone could match the rank of her Elixirs, in terms of time, nobody could outdo Yun Sheng.
Those who originally doubted and mocked Yun Sheng now had only one thought, and that was, "She’s incredible."
"We lost!" Li and Liu said dejectedly, surrendering in unison.
Yun Sheng didn’t show any pride after winning, "Good, I believe everyone has no objections now. If so, from now on, let’s concoct medicine according to my requirements and the methods in the cheat sheet."
All the Pill Masters and Pharmacists came forward, and this time after receiving the cheat sheet, they had no further objections.
Yun Sheng then selected ten people among the fifty Magic Pharmacists, including the two named Liu who had challenged her earlier.
These people were left behind separately.
"Yun Da, why have you kept us here?" asked the Magic Pharmacist named Liu, who only afterward realized that the teenage girl in front of him was Tang Yuan’s Great National Doctor.
"I’ve kept you behind to personally teach you how to concoct higher-level Magic Medicines. You must have noticed that part of the reason I could concoct so quickly earlier was because of my flame. Would you like to have such a flame?" Yun Sheng asked.
All the Magic Pharmacists were dumbfounded; they naturally noticed how special Yun Sheng’s flame was, but they thought it was her personal flame, something they could envy but never obtain. They had no idea that Yun Da was saying they could also have such a flame.
In an instant, everyone was thrilled, and the Magic Pharmacist named Liu was a bit more cautious. He swallowed and asked, "You mean to say, we can also possess such a flame?"
"Of course, you can. However, if you want this kind of flame, you must first take this medicine," Yun Sheng said, taking out a bottle of medicine.
