308: Peak Showdown

Xu Qing chuckled, "Trust Xiong Chumo. She will give us a satisfactory answer!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "Although I don't know Xiong Chumo, I know Third Senior Sister. Anyone you accept as a Disciple is certainly no simple character."

Both contestants took out their Medicine Cauldrons and began the refining process.

From the medicinal ingredients they threw into their Medicine Cauldrons, Xu Qing could already tell what Medicinal Pill Liang Qian was preparing to refine.

"Liang Qian is refining a seventh-grade qi recovery pill, which is a bit more difficult to refine than a rejuvenation pill and also more valuable. But I can't tell what Medicinal Pill Xiong Chumo is refining; her Pill Formula definitely wasn't obtained from Lingyun Sect."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback.

"A Pill Formula she obtained herself? This Xiong Chumo is quite interesting. We also have Pill Formulas for seventh-grade rejuvenation pills and qi recovery pills in our Lingyun Sect. Since Xiong Chumo isn't using them, it means the Pill Formula she's refining is even more valuable."

Xu Qing nodded slightly, "That should be the case. It seems our Lingyun Sect has a good chance of winning this time. I hope Xiong Chumo can succeed in refining it!"

Time passed by second by second. The flames in both their Medicine Cauldrons burned fiercely, and the Medicinal Pills slowly took shape.

Two hours later, both of them opened their Medicine Cauldrons almost simultaneously.

Two Medicinal Pills appeared in their palms, emitting a faint fragrance.

The Medicinal Pill Liang Qian refined was white; all qi recovery pills look like this.

The Medicinal Pill Xiong Chumo refined was blood-red, with a yellow pattern in the center, looking very vibrant.

Seventh-grade Medicinal Pills cannot trigger a Lightning Tribulation, so the crowd couldn't judge the quality of the Medicinal Pills based on the strength of the Lightning Tribulation.

The outcome of the fourth match still had to be decided by Peng Ling.

Both of them held the Medicinal Pills in their hands and walked onto the high platform.

Peng Ling used his Soul Power to lift the two Medicinal Pills and examined them carefully.

"The Medicinal Pill Liang Qian refined is called a seventh-grade qi recovery pill. Its refining difficulty is a bit higher than a rejuvenation pill, but it's still considered decent."

"Xiong Chumo, you're a lucky child! I've only seen this Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill in the Secret Manuals of Medicine King Valley; I've never seen it in reality."

Hearing this, Liang Qian's expression darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill? Elder Peng Ling, is Xiong Chumo's Medicinal Pill more valuable than mine?"

Peng Ling nodded slightly.

"That is indeed the case. The Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill, like the rejuvenation pill, is for healing injuries, but its effects are somewhat different. The rejuvenation pill restores Qi and blood and treats internal injuries, while the Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill treats internal injuries and has the effect of generating blood and fusing bones."

"Simply in terms of the preciousness of the Medicinal Pill, the Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill is superior to the qi recovery pill."

Liang Qian said in a deep voice, "But our competition isn't about the preciousness of the Medicinal Pill, but its market value. The qi recovery pill I refined must be of higher quality than Xiong Chumo's Medicinal Pill!"

Hearing this, Xiong Chumo frowned, glared fiercely at Liang Qian, and said in a deep voice, "Liang Qian, you are too arrogant. Our Lingyun Sect Disciples may not necessarily be weaker than Qingnang Sect Disciples!"

Liang Qian snorted coldly.

"I'm just speaking the truth."

Peng Ling waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Alright, you two don't need to bicker. I'm still standing here!"

Hearing this, both of them were startled, quickly closed their mouths, and bowed respectfully to Peng Ling.

"Everything is up to Elder Peng to decide!" they said in unison.

Peng Ling carefully sensed the medicinal power of the two Medicinal Pills, then smiled and said, "You two are both Geniuses! These two Medicinal Pills are already top-tier among seventh-grade ones; very few people can surpass them. Even our Medicine King Valley Disciples rarely achieve this level."

Hearing this, Liang Qian showed no joy; instead, her expression was gloomy.

"How is this possible? Someone can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with me in Alchemy!"

Xiong Chumo shook her head and chuckled, "Isn't this normal? The Tianyuan Continent is vast and boundless, with countless Genius Saints. There will always be people stronger than us. Liang Qian, you need to adjust your mindset and not be complacent."

Peng Ling waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Alright, if you two want to chat, you can do so after getting off the stage. I'll announce the results of the match first. The quality of both Medicinal Pills is comparable, but because Xiong Chumo's Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill is more valuable and has a higher market value, the Lingyun Sect wins the fourth match!"

Peng Ling amplified his voice with battle Qi for that last sentence, making it clearly audible to everyone in the entire market.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was shaken.

"Lingyun Sect won! It's time for the Peak showdown!"

"This is normal; the younger generation of Qingnang Sect isn't that great to begin with. Lingyun Sect's victory is expected."

"Hahaha! That old fellow Li Chuang must be furious! Three Eighth-Grade Alchemists in a row, and they still got dragged into the fifth match."

"This really is a Peak showdown! The final match between these two will determine the ownership of Wangshu Kingdom's Medicinal Pill market."

Xiong Chumo slowly walked off the stage and chuckled to the Lingyun Sect crowd, "I did not fail my mission!"

Xu Qing patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Mo, well done. I knew you could win!"

Xiong Chumo chuckled, "In Alchemy, I wasn't stronger than Liang Qian. It was just by chance that a Blood-Fusing Bone-Generating Pill Pill Formula I found at a street stall helped me this time. Teacher, Qingnang Sect's foundation is still very deep; we must not let our guard down!"

Hearing this, Xu Qing was also greatly surprised.

"Someone can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with you in Alchemy! This Liang Qian has some skills. Before, the outside world always spread rumors that Qingnang Sect was struggling with a lack of talent, but now it seems they were just pretending to be weak to hide their strength!"

After saying that, Xu Qing turned to look at Lu Xingchen and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, this final battle depends on you!"

Lu Xingchen smiled wryly, "Sigh, I just wanted to lie flat and be a second-generation martial artist, but I didn't expect troubles to come one after another!"

Li Changbai patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder and chuckled, "Just do your best; don't worry too much about winning or losing. You're still young!"

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Youth is no excuse for failure. Liang Qiao opposite me is also very young; we are peers. For the prestige of Lingyun Sect, I will definitely win this last match!"

Hearing this, Li Changbai chuckled, "I originally wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect you to be so strong-willed. Your personality is really strange; you don't act unless necessary, but when you do, you go all out. Interesting! I'll be waiting for your triumphant return!"

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said with a smile, "I will definitely win!"

With that, he slowly walked onto the stage.

On the other side, Liang Qiao also walked onto the stage step by step.

All eyes in the arena were focused on the two of them.

This battle, concerning the Medicinal Pill market of Wangshu Kingdom and the prestige of the two sects, would be fought by these two!
