Wei Yang who heard the elder turned furious."WHAT! Haven"t they had enough! They challenged us last month, Why are they challenging us again?. DON"T they know the rules properly, they are not meant to issue another challenge until three months have pa.s.sed!"
Yama already heard from Ye Ming, that in this kingdom a Pill House can issue a challenge to another pill house, this will then change ranking in the pill house ranking board currently Heaven Pill House ranks at the bottom of the top five, so the pill house who is currently issuing a challenge are obviously at the sixth rank.
"Li Wei! why are you here?!...did you forget about the rules set by the Imperial Clan!" Wei Yang furiously asked the elder who came to issue the challenge.
"I do know but I did not come for a challenge between two elders but for a challenge between two disciples! Why don"t you bring out a disciple to face my disciple" Li Wei challenged Wei Yang
"Why would I want to do that? Just because your elders cannot beat us, you want to challenge us differently" Wei Yang said after looking at that disciple beside Li Wei, Wei Yang can easily guess that something is wrong, he has never seen this disciple so he is certain that if he enters into this challenge only defeat is waiting him.
"Hahaha! so it looks like disciples from the Heaven Pill house is scared to challenge a disciple from a sixth rank pill house! Haha why don"t you tell your disciples to come and learn from us instead!" Li Wei said while laughing like a mad man.
The disciples from the Heaven Pill House who gathered to watch the commotion looked at Li Wei furiously. How can someone who has always lost a challenge boast out this shamelessly!. They wanted the Patriarch to accept the challenge just to give them a lesson, but it looked like the patriarch didn"t seem to care about it and did not want to accept the challenge at all.
Wei Yang on the other hand was in difficult position at the moment, if he knew the disciple before hand, he would have easily accepted it but his gut was telling him that something just seemed of about that disciple in front of him.
"hmph! Elder did you actually bring me here to challenge these idiots! These lot are not worthy to challenge me"
Everyone from the Heaven Pill House who heard this got furious, how can this little brat from a pill house rank below them talk this c.o.c.ky, he was obviously looking down on them.
"HAHAHA! Your right Nan Gong, these people are indeed unworthy. Come lets go! Lets go and tell everyone, how the so called fifth rank rejected a challenge with a disciple from a sixth rank! HAHAHA"
"Wait a minute, If it"s a challenge you want! I will give it to you!"
Li Wei who was walking near the exit turned around when he heard this, the voice came from none other than Yama.
"Brat! what are you doing!" Wei Yang who heard this asked Yama in shock in a low voice.
"They were walking off just fine! Why the heck did you agree to the challenge without even asking me?! Do you not know that I am the Patriarch of this pill house"
"Senior, don"t worry I can handle this perfectly, this way you wouldn"t need to wait to see me concoct a pill tomorrow, you can see it now" Yama said to Wei Yang seeming to understand his thoughts.
"Brat are you sure you can beat him! I know that senior taught you stuff, but I still haven"t seen you concoct a pill! This is not a simple matter, our prestige is at stake!" Wei Yang was really worried now! Yama has already said it out loud, so if he backed out then it will really mean that his cowering from them, so there was only this chance!
"hmph! Kid do you even know what alchemy is! Your unworthy to challenge me" Nan Gong said looking at Yama in contempt. How can this guy who looks like a commoner be worthy to challenge me.
"We will see who is worthy to challenge who, why are you cowering now?. So people from Leaf Pill House are only talk! No wonder the Patriarch did not even bother getting a disciple to challenge you. Looks like I accidentally blurted about challenging you, alright run back to the pill house."
"HAHAHHA"
All the disciples who heard what Yama said started laughing and cheering, it was now their turn to get back at both Li Wei and Nan Gong.
"YOU.....Who said I am scared! Come lets have a match! I will let you know the difference between heaven and earth"
"Hahaha! Thats right I am the Heaven and your the earth!" Yama replied.
"YOUU!....Don"t talk prove it!" Nan Gong was getting agitated by Yama, he wanted to rip Yama apart!
"I don"t want to bully you! You go first!" Yama replied calmly.
"Alright! both of you will have to concoct the Spirit Cleansing Pill" Li Wei said out loud.
"LI WEI! Don"t think I don"t know what your trying to do! The Spirit Cleansing Pill is very hard to concoct even for a one star alchemist." Wei Yang did not like the rules at all and wanted to change it.
"Patriarch is alright, is better to beat them at their own game!" Yama said to Wei Yang a.s.suring that everything will be just fine.
Looking at Yama very confident, Wei Yang had no other choice but to put all his trust on him.
"Since you said so, Nan Gong start concocting" Li Wei said with a smirk. He has finally achieved what he was here for and firmly believes that the brat in front of him have no chance of beating Nan Gong.
Nan Gong pulled out his shiny golden cauldron and a set of herbs that is used to concoct the Spirit Cleansing Pill and suddenly summoned a flame in his hand, the size of the flame looked very similar to when Yama summoned his flame from the Judgement Book but the flame colour was different.
"Look That"s a fire spirit! A red fire spirit!"
The disciples started throwing a commotion and started to worry, If the person has a fire spirit then it meant that he will be able to create a good quality pill, so even if Yama can concoct a pill the quality will be not be the same as Nan Gong"s so at the end of the day, the winner will still be the Leaf Pill House.
Li Wei had a cold smile and glancing at Wei Yang he can see that Wei Yang looked very worried now, he was laughing in heart.
"HAHAHA.!!! Wei Yang just watch, I will bring you Pill House down and we will step on you as a stepping stone"
Wei Yang wasn"t worried about the Nan Gong"s fire spirit at all, since Yama had an even rarer one, the quality of the pill will be totally fine but he was instead worried wether Yama will be able to concoct a pill or not. He knows that Yama only started training his "teachers" method recently, so would he able to concoct a pill that is even hard for a one star alchemist.
After a thirty minutes have pa.s.sed, Nan Gong finished concocting the pill, he opened the cauldron, to see three pills fly up in the air and arrive to his hands.
"Elders, evaluate this pill" Nan Gong said.
Eventhough the elders noticed the non respect for them, they still went to check the quality of the pill, as alchemists is pa.s.sion for them to a.n.a.lyse a pill.
"It"s a Third Grade Pill!" One of the elder shouted!
All the spectators were shocked when they heard the elder. They turned to look at Nan Gong as he was a monster, to think that he can achieve third grade, everyone only had one thoughts in their mind
"Is this guy really a one star alchemist?"
Everyone knows how hard it is for a one star alchemist to achieve even a second grade Soul Cleansing Pill so they were petrified when they knew that Nan Gong concocted a third grade Soul Cleansing Pill.
Wei Yang was even more worried now, his confidence in Yama was wavering now and he was now in a difficult position, it is very hard to turn back now, as Nan Gong has already concocted his pill all he can do now is pray that Yama can give him a miracle.
"It"s your turn now" Li Wei said looking very satisfied with Nan Gong"s result.
Yama decided that he was going to go all out, even if people from the Heaven Pill House is going to notice the cauldron he wouldn"t care, he can just say to Wei Yang that the senior he has met has gifted this to him as they can always be similar cauldrons around, so he pulled out his cauldron from the Judgement Book, to the spectators it looked like Yama pulled out his cauldron from his storage ring.
The instant Yama pulled out the cauldron everyone was captivated by it, the shiny and glowing cauldron was very attractive it cannot even be compared to Nan Gong"s cauldron, to Yama"s surprise though he seen no reaction from Wei Yang at all and he can see that everyone was looking at the cauldron as they were captivated by it, so he can vaguely guess that it has got to be something to do with the Judgement Book not allowing others to see its actual appearance otherwise certainly Wei Yang would have inquired about the cauldron.
Ignoring the astonishing faces from everyone, Yama lit up the cauldron using a normal fire, Li Wei who saw Yama using normal fire to fire up the cauldron was looking at him in contempt, Wei Yang on the other side was very nervous now, he expected Yama to use the blue fire spirit but to think that he will just go with a normal fire got him very nervous.
"Does this brat really think he can create a better grade pill without the blue fire spirit!"
Yama got the ingredients that he got from one of the elders in the Heaven Pill House and sorted them out very fast, it was even faster than Nan Gong"s, he started preparing every herb in order and putting them into the cauldron, the elders who witnessed this scene was flabbergasted because Yama"s hands were moving in a blur, even though it was fast paced, it was a beautiful sight to witness.
Just after ten minutes has pa.s.sed, Yama stopped his cauldron.
"What thats it? has he failed or has he given up?"
The disciples obviously thought that Yama was playing about because of his fast paced movements.
Wei Yang however on the other hand was sure that Yama has finished his concocting process, as the scene he has just witnessed was none other than a movement art that is used in concocting, it was a long lost ancient method and to think that he can witness this again, he was really surprised and he can only relate it to that senior that Yama was talking about, he was sure that Yama must have learnt it from him.
Li Wei on the other side was losing confidence, how can he not know the method, he has heard about a movement art which is very fast and beautiful. To think that someone in the Heaven Pill house will display this, he was now regretting coming to pick a fight with
"The Pill is done" Yama said as he withdraw three pills from the cauldron.
The first person to run to check the pill was Li Wei, as soon as he saw the quality of the pill he collapsed on the floor. Every elder who saw Li Wei collapsing on the floor quickly checked the pill.
"What am I seeing?! I can"t believe it! Is a fourth grade pill"
