Chapter 141


    With a wave of his hand, light swirled around Ping San Yats sleeves. It wasnt known which chamber the light wasing from. A me shot out andnded in the middle of the arena, growing despite ack of fuel.


    All the spectators were amazed by Ping San Yat. The me wasnt anything special, but Ping San Yats ability to control fire was spectacr. His simple action showed how long his energliph couldst even after leaving his body. Fire control was fundamental for alchemists, and Ping San Yats action proved his skill in alchemy.


    Participants, please take turns to step forward. Hold the elixir in your hand and ce your hand within the mes to test the effectiveness of your elixir, Ping San Yat ignored those watching him and continued calmly.


    Since no one is willing to go first, Ill do it, the Cheung n disciple said as he stepped forward.


    <em>Buzz</em>


    The me moved about as if sensing something.


    Cheung Lo of the Cheung n, your elixir caused the mes to retreat three metres Ping San Yat announced. The Wong, Ping and Suen n disciples followed afterwards, with the Ping n disciple doing the best among the four.


    He turned towards Mo-Yung Kit with a sneer. Youre not a match for our n. Theres no need to trouble our young master with this contest.


    But instead of getting angry, Mo-Yung Kit walked up with a smile with his elixir in hand. The me started to move when he wasnt even close and started jumping violently as he got nearer. A smile formed on his face as Mo-Yung Kit flicked the elixir towards the fire.


    <em>Whoosh!</em>


    The elixirnded in the me.


    <em>Roar!</em>


    <em>Eeek!</em>


    Cries of dragons and phoenixes were vaguely heard, and the mes that touched the elixir retreated almost twenty metres away. The mes grew so dim that they were almost extinguished; even Ping Ching was taken aback by this change.


    This is a grade two Fire Fend elixir Thanks not to just his cultivation, but also the improvement capabilities of his cauldron.


    On the other hand, Ping San Yat was still as calm as before. It was as if this had nothing to do with him. Mo-Yung Kit wins. Is there anyone else willing to step forward?


    With a wave of his hands, the Fire Fend elixir returned to Mo-Yung Kits hands. He looked at the silent crowd confidently. Mo-Yung Kit had stunned the crowd with his performance, and the other disciples knew that they werent a match for him. They would be embarrassing themselves and their n if they stepped forward now.


    A few seconds passed, and there were no new challenges. However, all eyes turned subconsciously to the Ping n.


    The Ping n wasnt called the Alchemy Ping n for no reason. Be it in the South or North, the Ping n had a high status. Their elixirs cost two to three times more than products from other alchemists of the same stage. Such was the status of the Ping n.


    Even if the other ns didnt wish to admit it, all of them were staring at the icy cold Ping Ching. Sensing the looks directed at her, she stood up. Brother Mo-Yung, please advise me.


    Mo-Yung Kit wore a serious expression on seeing her. He knew that she was his onlypetition today, and hed definitely win as long as he beat her.


    Please, brother Ping.


    Just as they were about to start, a voice rang out. Hold on!


    Everyone looked over to see a disciple from the Wong n.


    Mister Ping and Mister Mo-Yung, its an honour for Wong Lai to stand in the same arena andpete with you both.


    A natural and poised girl walked up. She didnt make anyone ufortable; there wasnt a rule which said that other disciples werent allowed topete. Mo-Yung Kit and Ping Ching said nothing more after a nce at her.


    All other four n leaders turned to Wong Ding Tin at the same time. But the sly old fox merely kept his eyes shut as if he was taking a rest.


    After staring at Wong Lai, Ping San Yat nced at her n leader and said, Well start now.


    Not muchter, a light fell to the ground once more. Ping San Yats voice rang out when the light dispersed.


    Grade two elixir, the Blood Congealing elixir.


    Blood Congealing elixir Chui Yim pondered on hearing the name.


    There was a gliphic nt called the bloodworm weed, which was used in emergencies. It contained a fluid that could replenish ones blood and heal injuries. If applied to a wound, it would stop the bleeding immediately. The nt was also the main ingredient for the Blood Congealing elixir.


    Simrly, the elixir was also used in emergencies, but it worked on internal injuries as well. The Fire Fend elixir was a formation elixir, while this was a medical elixir that saved lives.


    Besides Wong Lai who stepped forward to read the recipe, Mo-Yung Kit and Ping Ching immediately began their refining. Mo-Yung Kit used the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony cauldron again, while Ping Ching used her Frosty me cauldron.


    The snow-white cauldron with four beast-like w legs caused an uproar in the crowd. The Frosty me was a famous cauldron as well, passed down generation after generation in the Ping n.


    I see that the Ping n is simrly generous too, Mo-Yung Yin spoke for the first time today. It sounded like a praise, but he was mocking Suen Hos previousment.


    Suen Hos face fell. He wanted to retort, but Ping San Yat spoke before him.


    This is little Chings cauldron, and her treasure in the future, Ping San Yat replied coldly as he turned to Mo-Yung Yin with a nod. Its indeed an expensive item.


    The Cheung and Suen n leaders held their breath on hearing him, while it was Mo-Yung Yins turn to frown. Even n Leader Wong who acted like thepetition was none of his business looked at Ping San Yat meaningfully.


    As mentioned previously, the Frosty me cauldron was handed down from the Ping ns ancestors. Even after a few centuries, they still had only five Frosty me cauldrons. The most outstanding disciple of every generation would be given the right to use the cauldron but not keep it as their personal treasure, because this would leave a mark on the item. Unlike other treasures, the cauldron could only be activated by its master after bing a treasure. This meant that if Ping Ching took this cauldron as her treasure, nobody else would be able to use her cauldron after she passed away. Even if they forcefully did so, it would only retain twenty per cent of its original ability.


    Compared to lending someone a cauldron, the one that gave away a cauldron was the truly generous one. The Dragon and Phoenix Harmony didnt belong to Mo-Yung Kit, but the Frosty me cauldron belonged to Ping Ching.


    There was a huge fundamental difference.
