BXBX NOVEL Chapter 389 - 383: Thunder Flame
David Jones’ pupils flashed a barely noticeable golden light, then the flame in his palm disappeared with a gentle wave of his hand.
“Whoosh!”
Two golden, perfectly round Golden Marrow elixirs instantly fell into David
Jones’ palm.
“Four minutes and twenty-five seconds!”
Helen Cloud stopped her gaze from closely watching David’s elixir furnace, and raised her head to look at the time displayed on the big screen. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
This terrifying Pharmacy speed was probably on par with Flare VI Pharmacists
– the Master level Pharmacists she longed for!
“No wonder my teacher treats Senior Brother David differently.” Helen Cloud appeared calm on the surface, but her delicate hands were tightly clenched under her long sleeves.
Even if fast Pharmacy doesn’t necessarily mean high Pharmacy skill, it only means that the Pharmacist has a thorough understanding and high proficiency with that particular elixir. But for Helen, who was proud, losing was losing, and she didn’t want to find any excuses!
“I’ll definitely redeem myself in the next round!”
After making a decision in her heart, Helen Cloud smiled at David Jones, “Senior Brother, you’re amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen Golden Marrow Elixir made this way!”
“It’s simply for the sake of speed.”
After chatting with the somewhat awkward Junior Sister, David turned his head to look at the Alchemy Furnace behind him.
There were still thirteen minutes left before the end of the competition. Besides the dozens of Pharmacists around him, at least three-quarters of the contestants in the Pharmacy Square were still working hard to make elixirs.
“It seems that two-thirds of the contestants will be eliminated in this round!” Seeing Yann York and the others looking discouraged in the distance, David Jones shook his head.
For them, as Flare II Alchemists, trying to make Golden Marrow Elixir within half an hour was as difficult as climbing the sky.
However, being able to personally experience the atmosphere of the Pharmacy Conference was not a wasted experience!
“Yolanda actually succeeded!”
Seeing the faint golden light bursting from the Medicine Cauldron in front of Yolanda York, David Jones was somewhat surprised.
As expected of the youngest genius pharmacist in Southriver Province’s history, she was able to produce the S tier Class III Golden Marrow Elixir just at the early stage of Flare III. Her monstrous talent was terrifying!
If he hadn’t had the help of the Illusion-Piercing Eye, David Jones even thought his own talent in the art of Pharmacy would be inferior to hers by two ranks.
Soon, as the competition time ended, virtual three-dimensional small screens suddenly appeared next to the Pharmacy Furnaces and the Medicine Tables.
At the same time, the boxes on the Medicine Tables opened, revealing a Jade Bottle.
[Please place the successfully refined elixir into the Jade Bottle on the table as the competition voucher. The detection work will be completed within fifteen minutes, and the results will be sent to the participants’ reserved phone number. Please pay attention to the information. The next round of competition will start in thirty minutes.]
Seeing the message on the screen, David Jones put a good quality Golden Marrow Elixir into the Jade Bottle, while the other elixir was put into the Star Ring for safekeeping.
As the saying goes, save when you can; a single Golden Marrow Elixir can be sold for several hundred thousand Star Coins, so it’s a bit of a pity to use both of them for testing.
[The competition is temporarily over, please leave the field, contestants!] As the pharmacists came to the edge of the square and waited for the results in the resting room, a middle-aged man with white eyebrows, wearing a white crane cloak, with a green Star Stone ring on his fingers, and a refined demeanor descended on the highest platform in the center of the Pharmacy Square, riding
a celestial white crane.
This person was Guildmaster Hudson Harvey, a famous Grandmaster level pharmacist in Rosewood City.
The moment Hudson Harvey appeared, the cheers and applause instantly spread throughout the Pharmacy Square!
“isn’t that the president of the Pharmacist Guild in Rosewood City? Why is he there?”
“You must be new to the Pharmacy Conference, right? Every year, the Guildmaster will personally refine a Class VI elixir as a reward for the
champion.
However, the prizes of the top three in this conference are so valuable that even a Class VI elixir can only rank behind the World Cauldron.
“So that’s it, no wonder Rosewood City has become the holy land of pharmacy in the eyes of many pharmacists, even the elusive Grandmaster level pharmacists are willing to condescend to refine elixirs at the Pharmacy Conference.”
“Stop talking, just watch! After so many years in Rosewood City, I can finally witness a Grandmaster level pharmacist in action, I can brag about this for ten years after I get back!”
The next second, as Hudson Harvey summoned an ancient cauldron with an imposing appearance from his Star Ring, the noisy voices in the audience immediately stopped.
“This is the World-Purifying Cauldron!”
Gazing at the ancient cauldron on the high platform, which had a surface engraved with mysterious patterns, ink-black throughout, with three legs underneath and two mysterious True Dragons entwined on the sides of the cauldron’s mouth, giving a sense of intertwining, David Jones’s eyes flashed with admiration.
As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. Even though David Jones’s goal has always been the Soul-Consolidating Elixir that his master rewarded, he couldn’t help but feel a little moved after seeing this World Cauldron that encompassed everything.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, President Harvey flicked his fingers, and a blue flame that seemed like a Thunder Roar instantly ignited the World
Cauldron.
[Thunder Flame]: Eighth-order Legend grade Pharmacy Flame, formed by the fusion of Lesser Yin Thunder, Lesser Yang Thunder, Greater Yin Thunder, and Greater Yang Thunder. It’s a world flame that can improve the host’s constitution and talent, and increase the cultivation speed of the Arcane Star.
Its power is extremely terrifying.
With the help of Illusion-Piercing Eye, the information about Thunder Flame in the president’s hand slowly emerged in David Jones’s mind.
“The top of the Myrtle List has a monthly reward of thirty thousand credits. If I can rank first on the Myrtle List for three months, plus the credits I earn from military training, it shouldn’t be too hard to exchange a Pure Flame skill from Senior Grau.”
Assorted thoughts flashed through David Jones’s mind, and then he continued to maintain the activation of his Illusion-Piercing Eye, trying to comprehend the Class VI elixir formula [Reincarnation Elixir]through the president’s alchemy exhibition.
President Harvey didn’t even summon his pet; with a movement of his psychic power, hundreds of elixirs rushed into the World Cauldron one after another. Then the flame inside the cauldron surged, and the lightning-like blue flame refined all the numerous elixirs into a radiant essence within a few seconds. “Refining only sixty-three elixirs at a time, it’s true that even Grandmaster level pharmacists have to be extremely cautious when refining Class VI elixirs without summoning their Pharmacy Pet!” David Jones’s eyes suddenly lit up.
If President Harvey were to summon his Pharmacy Pet and go all out on refining the elixir, it might be challenging for David Jones to see the president’ alchemy process at this stage of his Illusion-Piercing Eye’s ability. But at this speed, David Jones could see all the reactions within the cauldron clearly! “Rumbling!” With a thunderous boom, a refreshing fragrance of medicine slowly spread throughout the Pharmacy Square.
“Very well, your Class VI elixir formula is very precious, but now it is mine!” Seeing the Reincarnation Elixir finally taking shape, David Jones’s mouth curved upwards with a slight smile.
