Chapter 184 CHAPTER 183: The Open Alchemy Contest-4



The others also looked at Chief Jugge Huan, waiting for his response.

"Alright, I will explain. Do any of you know why that herb has a strong resistive nature toward fire essence?" Chief Jugge Huan asked with a smile.

No one replied.

"You all must have known about that herb having strong yang energy inside it. ," Jugge Huan said.

All of them nodded at him.

"That is because that herb has a fire essence inside it which continuously releases the yang energy we sense from it. So, when we try to refine it using our essence fire, the essence of fire which is already inside it will absorb the essence of fire from the outside, making us wrongly believe that the herb had a strong resistive nature of fire." The Chief Jugge Huan explained.

Then, he continued, "That boy is really brilliant. He just controls the essence of fire inside the herb and uses it to refine itself easily. "

The other experts around him agreed to him.

"Hu Ge, come here!" Chief Jugge Huan suddenly called out, using his essence qi in his voice.

A green hooded man appeared before him, kneeled before him, and said, "Chief, Hu Ge is in your service." He wore a black mask with a funny face.

"Hu Ge, go to the Hall Of Treasure and buy every information that they have on this boy, Joey. Money will not be the problem. \'\' Chief Jugge Huan pointed at Joey and instructed him.

The man nodded and disappeared from that place in the thin air.

Soon, all the last five contestants were teleported out from inside the test rooms.

On the large screen above the platform, four names came out as,

## Rank 4  Li Ling, of the Seven Stars Sect. Qualified for the final test!##

## Rank 3  Huang Xiaoming, of Huang Family. Qualified for the final test!##

## Rank 2 Lǔ Sù, of the Seven Stars Sect. Qualified for the final test!##

## Rank 1 Joey, of the Hall of Alchemy Union,  Yueliang City headquarter. Qualified for the final test! ##

Now only Seven participants remained to compete in the last trial. And their names were shown on the large screen above the platform.

At that time, Elder Liu stepped out again said, "Seven participants are qualified in our last trial. Congratulations!"

"The last trial will be conducted by our Chief Jugge Huan. Please,..."  He announced loudly to the crowd using his essence qi.

Just after that, an old man appeared beside him. He had long white eyebrows and a long white beard.

"Hello, everyone! The last trial will be the concoction of pills. And I will supervise this trial." Chief Jugge Huan announced, using his essence qi in his voice. Then, he took out a wooden staff from inside his space ring and tapped it three times on the floor. After that, the platform started shaking. Then all the test rooms, tables, and chairs made from the strange rock get inside the ground. After that, seven small pill concocting rooms appeared on the platform.

"Before we start the final trial. I will announce the prizes. The third place will get a Tier-8 Pill and a tier-9 Pill manual. The second place will also get a Tier-8 Pill, a tier-9 pill manual, and a yellow ticket for the Martial meet. From 4th to 7th position each will get a tier-8 Pill. " Jugge Huan announced loudly using his essence qi.

Then, a big uproar started among the crowd.

"Wow! A Yellow ticket for the upcoming Martial Meet." Many cultivators from among the crowd started shouting crazily.

"Silence! Silence! " Chief Jugge Huan shouted using his essence qi. Then, everyone remained silent quickly.

"I will now announce the prizes for the Champion of this term\'s Alchemy Contest. The Champion will get a branch of a Parasol tree, a semi tier-9 pill, a tier-9 pill manual, and a golden ticket for the Martial meet." He announced.

Then, he looked at the remaining 7 participants and said, "Alright, you seven can enter inside the pill concocting rooms and start your test. "

Soon, a loud uproar started from the crowd again.

Joey and the six other participants entered inside the pill concocting rooms.

They were given a piece of paper containing the names of seven tier-5 pills. They could concoct one type of pill from among them.  Also, they had to finish concocting their pills within an hour. All the materials like herbs and cauldrons required for concocting pills were inside the rooms.

Soon, they all started concocting their pills.

Like before, Chief Jugge Huan focused all his attention on Joey.

Inside the pill concocting room, Joey picked up a cauldron and put all the herbs that were required for a pill inside it.

"He is doing it again. Putting all the herbs inside the cauldron without refining them separately first. Today, this boy really opened my eyes. I felt like I was about to break through to the tier - 9 alchemy soon just from seeing his previous performance." He murmured to himself and continued observing Joey curiously.

After putting all the ingredient herbs required for concocting the pill inside the cauldron, Joey sat down on the ground in a lotus position. He started chanting a mantra in Sanskrit and shouted, "Yogic Essence Fire, activate!"

Then suddenly, an azure color fire appeared in his right hand. But the color of the fire kept changing into nine different colors.

"Go!" He shouted again. After that, the Yogic Fire Essence quickly flew and entered inside the cauldron. Then he started refining all the herbs inside it all at once.

"This kid is really something. That level of control over his essence of fire is superb. Even I feel inferior to him in this regard. Good, good." The Chief Jugge Huan smiled and kept admiring him.

All herbs had different natures and properties, so they all required different conditions such as different temperatures, pressures, moisture levels, etc. to refine them. But Joey refined them with all the herbs at once. So, Chief Jugge Huan praised Joey for his expertise in controlling his essence fire.
