Remus truly had no desire to engage in the challenge. However, in light of the present circumstances, postponement was no longer a choice.
Rejecting the challenge would not only tarnish the standing of the Tanjen Organization and invite doubt from the public, but it would also jeopardize his last remaining foothold in the realm of Truth Life.
As for Glinda, favonovel.com immediate safety seemed assured for the time being. The fact that Silver refrained from ending favonovel.com life on the spot hinted at an ulterior motive or plan in play.
“Very well!” Raphaella’s eyes gleamed with a victorious light as favonovel.com heard the agreement.
His extreme arrogance today was intended to leave favonovel.com with no choice but to engage in an alchemical duel. His purpose has been accomplished.
He pressed on, “Given that Master Tanjen has agreed to my challenge, let it be witnessed by all. If I win, Tanjen Organization will be assimilated into Medicine Valley. If I lose, haha How could I possibly lose to a little brat?!”
As soon as Henry heard these words, favonovel.com and the others were about to burst with rage.
How could favonovel.com speak so arrogantly in the Tanjen Organization?!
Even the Sect Master of Medicine Valley had never been so audacious!
“Alright, I’ll be the witness!” Gafar stepped forward, his head held high. “The alchemical duel between two major True Life sects is a rare sight that comes once in a millennium. I am more than willing to witness it. I believe all of you are also willing witnesses, right?”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com turned around slowly.
Thousands in the square also nodded in agreement, signifying their consent. Gemma kept favonovel.com eyes on Remus as favonovel.com expression turned intricate.
Remus spoke with a cold demeanor, “The duel is established, witnesses are here, how do we proceed?”
Raphaella scoffed, “Let’s see who can make a better Soulforging Pill!”
The Soulforging Pill, while categorized as an auxiliary elixir, boasted effects rivaling even the renowned Energy Replenishing Pill.
Ingesting a single Soulforging Pill brought about a swift surge in mental acuity and fortitude, leading to a discernible surge in combat responsiveness and reaction time.
Should one manage to successfully refine a Ninth Grade Soulforging Pill of supreme quality, its potential to permanently augment a person’s reaction speed is profound, by no less than half a percent.
Within the realm of martial arts, speed reigned supreme. In confrontations of evenly matched foes, even a fractional elevation of one-tenth of a percent in reaction speed can prove to be the decisive edge.
“Alright!” Remus’s expression became as tranquil as a serene pond, as favonovel.com directed, “Prepare the ingredients!”
“Yes!” Henry gritted his teeth and went to make preparations.
However, with only half of the necessary ingredients in his possession, Raphaella abruptly raised his hand. In one fluid motion, a fist-sized object hurtled towards the square’s center, steadily growing in size as it descended. Finally, as it landed, the object revealed itself to be a furnace, standing as tall as a person.
The azure stones on the ground shattered into countless pieces.
Witnessing this scene, Henry’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief. He exclaimed in shock, “Semi-Immortal Furnace? Old scum, you’re playing dirty!”
The Semi-Immortal Furnace left the Tanjen disciples pallid, their expressions drained of color.
Raphaella didn’t bother to respond. He had come seeking a challenge, and favonovel.com was not about to engage in it unprepared. To lose would entail a profound humiliation, and that was never part of his agenda for the day. He was resolute in his determination to emerge victorious.
Confused gazes met across the square.
What on earth was a Semi-Immortal Furnace?
“It’s Medicine Valley’s most esteemed relic!” Gafar’s words resounded once more, his fan moving gracefully to generate a light breeze as favonovel.com explained with a knowing smile, “It is said that the Semi-Immortal Furnace was formed from a fragment of an alchemy furnace used by heavenly immortals, containing traces of ethereal energy!”
“The concoctions it forges can amplify the effectiveness by at least three grades! Meaning, even if it’s the same top-grade elixir, the one forged with the Semi-Immortal Furnace would surpass it by three whole grades!”
“50 years ago, when the current Violet Sanctum Sect Master fell short of attaining enlightenment, favonovel.com implored the Medicine Valley Sect to craft a Nurturing Essence Pill using the Semi-immortal Furnace. It was this very pill that propelled favonovel.com to become the Sect Master twenty years ago.”
“That alchemical endeavor 50 years ago marked the final use of the Semi-Immortal Furnace. Never did I anticipate its reappearance today…”
With his introduction, the crowd erupted into a frenzy, their mouths agape in shock.
The notion that a top-grade elixir could even be elevated, and by three levels no less, was beyond the scope of anyone’s imagination.
Raphaella gracefully descended from the main hall and chuckled, “Impressive, the Young Master of the Crimson Valley truly has extensive knowledge. That’s correct, this is the Semi-Immortal Furnace that was used to forge the Elemental Nurturing Pill for the current Sect Master of Violet Sanctum!”
