“Master Walker, if you were to lose, do you agree to surrender the Herbal Pavilion to Remus Calsberg?”
Lance replied with confidence, “Indeed. I would not only hand over the Herbal Pavilion but also willingly kneel before favonovel.com and address favonovel.com as my master. Since I have committed to this, I will not turn back on my word!”
Lance’s confidence in winning was unwavering. His reluctance to compete stemmed from his belief that it was simply a waste of time.
Zaiden declared solemnly, “Alright, since both parties have agreed, let’s begin now!”
Once Zaiden officiated the duel, the disciples of the Herbal Pavilion couldn’t help but sneer. They all had the same thoughts. From that moment on, it meant that Remus Calsberg’s life had begun its countdown.
Lance raised his hand, and with the release of his spirit energy, favonovel.com opened the furnace and levitated the herbs into it. With another flick of his finger, flames ignited beneath the furnace.
“Amazing!”
“Even the simplest task of arranging herbs, favonovel.com exudes an undeniable elegance! Such finesse could only be honed through countless hours of dedicated practice, a testament to his mastery of the art!”
“To have the privilege of witnessing Master Walker personally crafting pills is a life well-lived, with no regrets!”
Remus paid no heed to the comments coming from outside. He simply followed his own pace, arranging the herbs, igniting the fire, and then sitting down cross-legged.
He calmly immersed himself in the alchemy. His movements appeared no different from those of ordinary disciples.
Marsh observed Remus closely, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
The saying “practice makes perfect” couldn’t have been more apt in that context.
While the act of herb placement may have seemed unassuming, the discrepancy in skill became immediately apparent. Remus lagged far behind in expertise.
He whispered, “Master Hugo, Remus Calsberg is likely to lose…”
Elsie was puzzled as favonovel.com inquired, “Master, Master Walker holds a significant position in the alchemy realm, and it’s evident that Remus Calsberg can’t compete with him. So, if you intend to bring favonovel.com back to Shenington, why would you allow favonovel.com to endanger himself?”
Doubts loomed large among them regarding Remus Calsberg’s chances of victory. It appeared highly improbable.
If Remus were to win, it would imply that Lance had wasted many years of dedicated cultivation. The rationale behind their master’s agreement left them utterly bewildered.
Zaiden spoke with an air of indifference, “Indeed, Remus Calsberg cannot win. However, I am the referee, and the outcome is under my control.”
His revelation left Marsh and Elsie stunned, their eyes shifting toward Lance, now tinged with a hint of sympathy.
All eyes were fixed on the two competitors as time trickled by. Although they were only competing in refining Energy Replenishing pills, the more fundamental the pill, the more it could represent one’s cultivation level and determine the outcome.
An hour slipped by, marked by the resonant boom of a elixir furnace.
The sound drew everyone’s attention to Remus, who had completed his concoction first.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Remus nonchalantly raised his hand, opened his furnace, and suspended the Energy Replenishing Pill in mid-air. The pill emitted a dazzling golden glow, a clear indicator of their top-grade quality.
A collective gasp swept through the disciples of the Herbal Pavilion. Although they were already aware of Remus’ reputation, witnessing such a remarkable achievement from someone of their own age left them utterly astounded.
Crafting fourth or fifth-grade pills had always been a hallmark of prodigious talent, but achieving top-grade quality was nothing short of a miraculous accomplishment. Even Zaiden, known for his unwavering composure, couldn’t help but nod in silent admiration of Remus’ undeniable and impressive skill.
Then, another boom echoed through the arena, signaling Lance’s pill completion.
With a similar gesture, favonovel.com opened his furnace and revealed his Energy Replenishing Pills, which was also gleaming gold and of top-grade quality.
As for the pill’s quality, both were equally matched.
