The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1516 Is he about to compete for the title of Pill King?
"Although the Bloodthirsty Pill is of a very high grade, I believe that everyone here can refine it. It all comes down to quality!"

"But why add more herbs? Actually, the Alchemist Guild should have already mastered that adding Heavenly Fire Grass to the recognized formula of Bloodlust Pill can increase the efficacy of the pill, but they didn't say that. They just put a series of herbs next to us and let us choose."

"When the quality of the pills is the same, whoever knows how to add Heavenly Fire Grass will improve the quality of their pills and win. This should actually be considered a hidden trick test."

"I added it, you didn't, so I won."

Zeng Tongxiu was stunned.

Adding ingredients to the prescription?

He wasn't unaware of this; after all, pill formulas were developed by alchemists through trial and error, and that didn't mean they were in the most perfect state. Alchemists would always continue to improve the formulas, giving the pills better effects.

He never expected to encounter such a thing in this Dan King Competition, and most importantly, it was used as a test question!

Those who know, understand, and can refine have an advantage and are almost guaranteed to win!
I foolishly followed the original recipe for ages, only to find out that the other person had made a more optimized version.
Whose fault is this?

The assessment criteria are the same for everyone. If you don't know it but others do, doesn't that mean you're inferior to them?

Zeng Tongxiu stared at the corpse of the bloodhound lying on the ground, listening to Lin Chen's words, his mind buzzing for a moment.

Lost!

I actually lost to Lin Chen!
Lin Chen actually knew the pill formula that I didn't know!
Zeng Tongxiu's mind went blank. Looking at Lin Chen's face, even Lin Chen's voice seemed to come from near and far. He even felt dizzy.

He had always believed that his alchemy skills were unparalleled, and that he was undoubtedly the best among the younger generation, if not among the older generation. But now, his confidence had been completely crushed.

The person who beats him is the one he least wants to lose to.

Because Lin Chen beat him in a fight, and now he's beaten him in alchemy...

Double the humiliation!
Zeng Tongxiu clenched his fist so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palm.

shame!

What a shame!
He wished he could turn back time to before he met Lin Chen, then he would definitely stop his junior sister from saying, "I want 100,000 immortal spirit stones."

All the grudges and resentments stemmed from that one sentence: one's own arrogance, one's own pride and conceit. At this moment, they have all been trampled into pieces.

Fighting? I can't win. Alchemy? I can't win either...

So what am I being so proud of?

Sitting in a well and looking at the sky?

Arrogance and self-importance?

Overestimating one's abilities?

Zeng Tongxiu's face was flushed red with surging blood. Looking at Lin Chen, who sat calmly opposite him, even with a smile, his surging blood seemed to intensify. "You won!"

Zeng Tongxiu left the field after saying this.

The competition is not over yet, but for Zeng Tongxiu, none of that matters anymore.

He just wanted to get away from this place that made him lose face.

Lin Chen watched Zeng Tongxiu's retreating figure with a calm expression.

Although he defeated Zeng Tongxiu, he didn't win because of his own skill, but because of the insight of Danwang Ouyang Jing.

Ouyang Jing taught him about the Heavenly Fire Grass; otherwise, how would he know about it?
In terms of alchemy skills alone, Lin Chen didn't think he was much better than Zeng Tongxiu.

He once shared the title of the pride of heaven with me. How many years had he been refining elixirs? How long had I been refining them myself?

Five years!

Zeng Tongxiu has spent many times more time on alchemy than Lin Chen has. If it were a direct contest of skill, Lin Chen might not be able to beat Zeng Tongxiu.

It was just a coincidence!
Zeng Tongxiu was truly tragic...

Lin Chen felt a pang of emotion, but he didn't sympathize with Zeng Tongxiu because of it.

They're all enemies, why sympathize with him?
Not kicking him while he's down is already more than enough.

competition is over.

Lin Chen won successfully and will compete against the winner of another group to determine the champion, that is, the champion of this year's Pill King Competition!
The supreme Pill King!
Lin Chen himself was a little surprised that he had somehow made it to the finals!

If I win again, wouldn't I have succeeded?

So I've become this year's Pill King?
This is too exaggerated!

Lin Chen had high hopes when he came, but he never thought it would become a reality. However, now that he is about to stand on the decisive stage, Lin Chen feels like he is dreaming.

My skill level is already this high?

Am I already almost as good as the Pill King?
Although Senior Ouyang kept praising himself, he still felt that he was not that great, after all, he had only been studying alchemy diligently for five years.

This is a bit unexpected!

Lin Chen looked at his final opponent, the white-haired, renowned alchemy master Gu Zhengyu.

Gu Zhengyu is the Supreme Elder of the Bixue Sect, a major alchemy sect, and a renowned alchemy master throughout the entire Yunxiao Continent, famous for thousands of years.

How could I possibly compete with such a master for the title of Pill King?
Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?
