Su Chen listened to this and thought for a moment before saying:

"Forget it, I trust old man Qiu has a generous heart and won't hold it against you. One round to decide the winner, then one round it is!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wen was so angry that his beard became crooked!

Because this made it seem like the Myriad Medicine Pavilion was generous while he and the Medicine King Valley were petty!

Old man Qiu felt like he had enjoyed an ice pop on a hot day, refreshing to the core. He felt incredibly pleased!

At the same time, the more he looked at this young man, the more pleasing to the eye he seemed!

"This young man is not bad, Yufei, you have a good eye!"

At this point, old man Qiu smiled at his granddaughter beside him.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yufei blushed furiously till the roots of her neck!

Although Grandpa didn't say it outright, the implication was obvious!

She whispered:

"Grandpa, he and I are really just ordinary friends."

"Hehe, I never said you weren't ordinary friends!"

Old man Qiu smiled mischievously and said.

Qiu Yufei had no words upon hearing this!

How should she explain?

However, this wasn't the time to be concerned with that because the more important matter was the competition at hand!

Even though she had supported Su Chen representing the Myriad Medicine Pavilion for the competition earlier, she was still filled with worry!

After all, Yuan Wen wasn't Zou Hong; his achievements in alchemy were considered the best in the entire Ancient Martial World!

Even her own grandfather was slightly inferior in this regard!

She didn't know where her confidence came from earlier, actually trusting Su Chen!

Certainly, others were deeply impressed by Su Chen's performance earlier!

It could be said, such talent in alchemy at a young age was already deemed extraordinary!

But having people believe the young man's alchemical skills surpassed Yuan Wen was impossible!

Old man Qiu shared similar thoughts; as an old rival of many years, he knew Yuan Wen's realm in alchemy the best!

He didn't quite understand why he agreed earlier; perhaps it was because he couldn't fully grasp this young man!

If this young man could truly defeat Yuan Wen, the result would be too ideal!

"Let us begin!"

Su Chen said indifferently.

"Sure!"

Yuan Wen nodded and said:

"Today, I'll see for myself what skills this young man possesses!"

"I'll let you see!"

Su Chen replied bluntly.

One major reason he decided to act on behalf of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion was his dislike for the Medicine King Valley. Initially, he didn't provoke them, yet they targeted him, using him as an excuse to attack the Myriad Medicine Pavilion!

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Yuan Wen was infuriated!

He immediately stopped engaging in a pointless verbal scuffle with this young man.

"How do you want to compete this time?"

Yuan Wen asked.

Su Chen shrugged and said indifferently:

"As you like!"

Hearing this, Yuan Wen truly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing the fellow would once again propose making the Green Jade Pill!

Honestly, enhancing the efficacy of the Green Jade Pill by thirty percent was something he could never achieve.

So at this point, he was straightforward, saying:

"Let's choose freely, and then have it evaluated by several judges!"

"No problem!"

Su Chen didn't hesitate, agreeing immediately.

Then, both men began the alchemy process!

At this moment, everyone held their breath, watching intently!

They watched the elderly and the young standing side by side, feeling a bit surreal!

As the alchemy master of the Ancient Martial World, old master Yuan was actually competing with a young man, a scene they never dared to imagine!

Yet now, it was happening for real!

Both were seriously handling the herbs, placing ingredients, controlling the flames!

"Blood Luo Pill!"

After observing for ten minutes, old man Qiu suddenly exclaimed, with a shocked expression!

Because old man Qiu spoke involuntarily, his voice fell into everyone's ears!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!

"Old man Qiu, is it really the Blood Luo Pill?"

Someone nearby couldn't help but ask.

"It should be!"

Old man Qiu nodded, somewhat weakly.

Based on the ingredients and techniques, it's mostly likely!

"Old man Qiu has good perception!"

At this time, Yuan Wen smiled with satisfaction:

"I am indeed making the Blood Luo Pill!"

Upon Yuan Wen's admission, everyone was stunned!

Because they all knew the Blood Luo Pill was one of the highest-grade elixirs among the inherited recipes!

Old man Qiu didn't expect his old rival would choose to make the Blood Luo Pill!

It's well known; the higher the grade, the lower the success rate!

And since he was crafting it here, he must have some confidence in the success rate!

There was bitterness in old man Qiu's mouth!

At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to the young man beside Yuan Wen!

Though knowing Yuan Wen was making the Blood Luo Pill led them to believe the young man was sure to lose!

They were curious about what pill this young man, recently dazzling, was crafting!

But after watching for a while, they couldn't comprehend. So someone asked old man Qiu!

Old man Qiu shook his head:

"I don't know either!"

He too had been watching Su Chen, but couldn't make sense of it at all!

"Isn't this guy making a mess? How can Dragon Beard Grass be mixed with Red Resplendent Fruit? These ingredients are incompatible!"

"Indeed, it's a basic alchemy principle!"

Noticing Su Chen's actions, many began whispering!

Because of past experiences, they did not speak loudly, fearing they'd be proven wrong!

"He's crazy, how can he add Golden Crow at this stage, he's going to explode the pill!"

At this moment, one person couldn't help but shout!

Everyone was also stunned!

What was this young man crafting? The herbs used and the sequence differed entirely from what they knew!

Su Chen glanced at the crowd, uninterested in responding to them. These people were confined within rigid paths, ignorant of the underlying principles!

The Alchemy Path, never unchanging, held profound mysteries!

Su Chen's alchemy process left the crowd bewildered and clueless!

Even old man Qiu was somewhat puzzled.

However, he said nothing, merely watching calmly.

Though the hopes weren't high anymore, for some reason, a flicker of anticipation lingered in his heart!

Time ticked by, with Yuan Wen's forehead slowly developing tiny beads of sweat...
