Chapter 143


    On the other hand, Mo-Yung Kit was tense as well. Initially, he thought Ping Ching was his only opponent, but now it seemed like Wong Lai was the greater threat.


    Okay, times up. Hand up your elixirs.


    A servant walked toward the participants with a tray. Frowning, Ping Ching ced her white elixir on the tray, Mo-Yung Kit and Wong Lai following suit. The servant then left for the tform where the n leaders sat.


    Since the Ping n was the first to finish, the Ping n shall go first.


    The servant walked up to the n leaders one by one, who each picked up Ping Chings elixir to smell and inspect. None of the n leaders actually tested the elixir, as it was only grade two. With their alchemy expertise, they could easily identify its efficacy.


    Ping San Yat didnt even smell it; he only nced at it, a gentle look washing over his solemn face. Sixty per cent effectiveness.


    Agreed. The four other n leaders nodded in agreement. There was no way Ping San Yat could fake the results in such a situation as everyone present was an elite, and it was below their dignity to do so.<hr>


    After Ping Ching came Wong Lais turn. Simrly, all n leaders took an elixir from her bottle, judging it as they did Ping Chings elixir.


    Fifty per cent effectiveness, Wong Ding Tin said after a short pause, bursting intoughter.


    The other n leaders agreed with his judgement. Yes, fifty per cent effectiveness.


    Wong Lais elixir might be less effective than Ping Chings, but Wong Lai had beaten Ping Ching since she refined five elixirs at once.


    Now, it was Mo-Yung Kits turn. Unlike the other participants, his elixir was purple. It was still a Blood Congealing elixir, but the appearance varied based on the different refining techniques and mes used.


    The efficacy was evident to all five n leaders. Mo-Yung Yin took a sniff, a thin smile forming on his face.


    <em>He indeed didnt fail me.</em>


    Sixty per cent effectiveness.


    Suen Ho had an ugly expression, but he still nodded and said, Agreed.


    Cheung San burst out inughter. Sixty per cent effectiveness, and five elixirs. I guess we know whos the winner.


    However, be it Ping San Yat or Wong Ding Tin, they didnt look disappointed. Instead, they looked pleased or even excited. Mo-Yung Yin nced at Ping San Yat and Wong Ding Tin and frowned at their reactions. n Leader Ping and n Leader Wong, do you have any opinions about this?


    Nope. Wong Ding Tin had a weird expression. Such a pity that Siu Lai had such bad luck.


    What does n Leader Wong mean? Luck doesnt matter in Alchemy. Cheung San raised an eyebrow.


    Instead of getting angry, Wong Ding Tin burst intoughter. Siu Lai didnt train under my ns elders from a young age, and she only started learning a year or two ago. She might be skilled in alchemy, but she doesnt know many recipes. The Blood Congealing elixir she refined today was based on the basic recipe given in thepetition, unlike Mister Ping and Mister Mo-Yung, who already had memorised the recipe. I even believe that the recipe they used was more delicate than the one given in thepetition.


    There can be many recipes for the same elixir, and we always strive to improve them. They all had their own versions, be it the Mo-Yung n or Ping n. Siu Lai has yet to familiarise herself with all our recipes and could only use the most basic version. But if all the participants used the same recipe, itd be hard to tell who wouldve won this round. Moreover, Mister Ping produced an elixir of the same efficacy despite not having broken through. Once he does, hell definitely be able to produce as much as Mister Mo-Yung, and his product might even be more effective inparison.


    Im looking forward to the nextpetition! Hahahaha! Wong Ding Tinughed. He spoke so loud that the entire Southern Mountain peak could hear him, and the crowd was in a heated discussion about Wong Lai and Ping Ching, ignoring Mo-Yung Kit, despite him being the actual winner.


    Nobody realised that Mo-Yung Kit had his fists clenched tightly. He knew that his victory was because of his advantages and that his n had paid a hefty price to bring thepetition forward.


    <em>But So what!? After clinching victory for this event, the Mo-Yung n will be the leader of Southern Ping and control the Southern Mountain Elixir! We will improve at lightning speed with more resources and the elixir to study; how will they keep up with me?</em>


    Even though he was being forgotten and ignored, as one of the most powerful cultivators of his generation, having a strong mental state was critical too. He was previously shocked by Chui Yims words, which caused a mental breakdown. Also, as the Divine Doctors disciple, he was in fact most skilled in medicine, not alchemy!<hr>


    Now that the Mo-Yung n had won twice, the territory they controlled was slowly catching up to the Ping n. If they won again, the Ping n would have to step down; the Mo-Yung n would be the new leading n! The five n leaders looked calm, but they were uneasy and agitated.


    As the leader for several centuries, the Ping n always led the other ns to greater heights, and they yed a huge role in their meetings. Moreover, they had been a great leader; just the fact that Ping Ching tried to help others improve during the Outstanding Talent Gathering proved their kindness and generosity. As for the Mo-Yung n it was unknown how the city would turn out if they became the leader.


    Mo-Yung Yin stered a smile on his face, but he couldnt hide his excitement.<em> It has been centuries since our n have had to live under the Ping n, and Ill be the first n leader in the Mo-Yung n to overthrow them!</em>


    The thought of this made Mo-Yung Yin unable to hide his excitement. n Leader Ping, its time for thest segment, right?


    Ping San Yat remained silent for a while. He was pleased with Ping Chings improvement, but they were still on the losing end after all. The Ping n wasnt as strong in medicine, and the person with the strongest medical skill in the n was his master, Ping Chi. He was a weird old man who only took him and his daughter as disciples, never taking an actual disciple despite writing countless medical books.


    <em>Even though he finally has Hah, he only started learning a few months ago</em>


    Ping San Yat didnt expect much from Chui Yim. Instead, he ced all his hope on Ping Man Bun.
