Chapter 1983


    To avoid idents, thepetition was held on an empty field.


    Moreover, to ensure the fairness of thepetition, both Matthew and Zayn had to prepare their elixir


    on the spot.


    After the scene was set, both parties got ready.


    The targets for the drug experiment were two mice ced in a cage.


    Baltazar took on the role of the referee, and Matthew didn''t intend to show all he''d got.


    Even though he had nothing to lose if he lost thepetition and could even gain the meridian-


    nourishing nt if he won, he made Szar record the entire process to prevent his rival from


    cheating.


    After all, whoever came to challenge his medical skills had a death wish!


    "Let''s start!" When Baltazar''s words fell, Matthew and Zayn started moving almost at the same time.


    Looking at the purchased medicinal materials that were neatly ced in front of him, Zayn skilfully


    picked out all the herbs he needed.


    Heart-stopper flower, lotus root, angelica, the root of Longstem Hawksbeard, as well as other familiar


    and unknown herbs were ced into the medicine jar one after another.


    While pounding the herbs, he did not forget to observe Matthew''s progress.


    All he saw was Matthew slowly picking out his herbs.


    With a mocking smirk, Zayn secretly expressed his disdain for his opponent.


    From choosing the herbs alone, Zayn could tell that even a third-tier chemist from Emsgate worked


    faster than Matthew.


    "Cathians are merely talkers. They only know how to brag with their mouth, but in reality, their skills


    Baltazar nodded repeatedly beside him, watching his disciple''s actions.


    Thebination of the herbs Zayn picked out was reasonable.


    Moreover, under the mutual influence of the properties of the ingredients, the toxicity of the heart-


    stopper pampas could be maximized.


    Not bad. Seems that my beloved apprentice managed to improve himself in poison-making over this


    period of time.


    His notoriety as Emsgate''s youngest genius did note easily.


    Ten minutester, Zaynpleted his concoction.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    He was now holding a small bottle of lc-colored liquid.


    Under the sun, it reflected a charming glow, but of course, it was more hazardous than one could


    imagine.


    Due to that, he wore a thick pair of sealed gloves to prevent getting in contact with the elixir.


    Meanwhile, Matthew was still picking out his herbs slowly.


    He picked the notoginseng, angelica, hasma, dendrobium, and many more.


    In short, he was just throwing all types of tonics into the jar.


    Szar, who was watching from the side, started getting anxious.


    Bruh, we''repeting to make poison, not to refine the perfect tonic!


    Despite hisck of medical knowledge, Szar could tell from the names of the various medicinal


    materials on the medicine box that Matthew seemed to have misunderstood the entire concept of the


    When he nced at Zayn''s elixir, he could already sense the dangerous aura it emitted even from a


    distance.


    From the aspect of concoction, the opponent was firmly ahead of Matthew by arge margin.


    Was Matthew really going to lose in just the first match?


    Considering the current situation when rumors about Matthew were spreading like wildfire in Stonedale


    and Eastshire, Szar reckoned that Matthew''s losing would only be adding fuel to fire.


    He couldn''t fathom Matthew''s intentions at all!


    After another ten minutes or so, Matthew finallypleted his concoction.


    Szar couldn''t help sniffing, trying to take in the smell.


    He shuddered after smelling it and wondered what on earth it was.


    Could it really be the perfect tonic?


    Standing opposite them, Baltazar and Zayn exchanged nces with each other, their eyes filled with


    triumph.


    They watched the entire refining process Matthew carried out.


    Among the sixteen herbs and fifteen tonics, the only poisonous ingredient he used was a seven-step


    vine.


    Although the seven-step vine was toxic, it couldn''tpare to the heart-stopper elixir Zayn had made.


    Under the dilution effect of the other fifteen tonics, both Baltazar and Zayn could already foresee the


    oue of thepetition.


    "Now that you have bothpleted your concoctions, you may test the elixir now." While saying that,


    Baltazar presented a look of triumph.
