C25 (1/2)

The cauldron emitted sizzling sounds under the flames.

In the past, she could only rely on her talent, but now, she could only rely on her own hard work.

”Let me ask you, why is it that every time you reach the late stage of the Accumulation Pill, you become so anxious?”

After Chang Wu finished the third furnace, Bai Ru Yue took the fourth pellet and ate it like it was some kind of food. Then, she asked her about the problem she discovered.

Chang Wu was startled, and immediately lowered his head and said: ”Master indeed detected a small problem. To tell you the truth, ever since Dandong, whenever I reach the Containment Pill, I have lost some of my confidence. ”

She did not know much about the Dandong, so this was a chance for her to learn a thing or two.

”I'll listen to it in detail and see if there's an explanation.”

”Yes.”

Chang Wu immediately began to speak …

It turned out that Warrior Skill Conference, the Alchemist Association from the Eighteen Prefectures under the Danzong, which was initiated once every ten years, was trying to motivate the alchemists to work hard to achieve excellence.

Therefore, the General Assembly would award the winner with a better upgrade based on their class.

According to Chang Wu's words, even the worst would be able to get three books of pill formulas that were of a higher grade than him, and a cauldron of the same grade as him.

Of course, if you win the convention, you can also get many benefits, such as money, spirit stones, as well as the high salary of the merchants.

Because there were 18 alchemists from the continent participating in this grand event, it caused the various provinces to get excited.

For example, the Cloud Sea Region had relatively poor results in previous years. In the records of the ten Great Assembly, other than the first mixed up with the eleventh record, the rest of the records were basically at the end of the Eighteen States, something that could not be seen for a long time.

Such a situation was destined to either die in silence or explode forth.

The Danzong of the Cloud Sea Region could not stand such an outcome.

They took out some generous prizes and arranged for the Dandong of the Cloud Sea Region to start the competition with two seasons of the year.

He wanted to raise the apothecary aptitude of the Cloud Sea Region and find a better seedling to focus on cultivating. Fortunately, he wanted to wash away the shame of being at the bottom of the Cloud Sea Island during this competition.

Due to the pill formulas passed down in his family, Chang Wu steadily climbed all the way up to the level of a fifth ranked alchemist.

As a result, he was regarded as a good sapling by the Danzong, and received much hope and attention.

But in the end...

He had actually failed at refining pills on the Dandong, and his face had even been destroyed by the explosion of the furnace!

”... ”Back then, when I was trying to accumulate pills, I couldn't sense the condition of the pills in the cauldron at first, but soon after, I felt it. I don't know why, but I seem to have lost all faith in myself. All I saw were scenes of failure in concocting pills …”

Chang Wu was drenched in sweat as he spoke, his face still slightly pale, ”I have cultivated for twelve years and have never doubted myself like that before. But after that, every time it came to the Containment Pill, I couldn't help but think of something bad …”

Seeing Chang Wu's painful and fearful expression, Bai Ru Yue sighed.
