The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1178 - 1173: Witchcraft Gu Pill

There were only two Elixirs, lying quietly on the plate.

Yet everyone’s eyes just couldn’t tear themselves away from those two Elixirs.

What exactly were these Elixirs that had been made with such a creative method?

No one knew the answer.

Anyway, the color of this Elixir was very common, its appearance similar to many other Elixirs.

If you really wanted to figure it out, you’d have to check and test it up close to reach a conclusion.

"Time’s up!"

Right on cue, Iron Maiden’s voice rang out from the stage.

Everyone felt the taut string in their hearts loosen a little.

It was finally over!

But the next wave of emotion that followed was tension again.

So then, who exactly was the champion?

And how would the bet between Qin Hao and Jade Stone Daoist be settled?

"Guards, please bring up the works of each Alchemy Master!"

With Elder Gong’s words, guards came down one after another to collect the Elixirs.

Watching the Elixirs in front of him being taken away, Qin Hao’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

Beside him, Jade Stone Daoist stared at him fixedly and sneered, "Trash, what are you still pretending for? The materials you just used were only around first or second grade at best. No matter how ’skilled’ you are, what kind of Elixir can you possibly refine?"

"Master, I think this disgusting man can’t even refine a Yellow-grade Elixir!" Li Yu also seized the chance to mock him.

This master-and-disciple pair knew victory was already within reach, but before they actually won, they still wanted to give Qin Hao a bit of a psychological blow.

Everyone knew that good Elixirs were often closely tied to the medicinal ingredients used.

The higher the grade of the materials, the higher the grade of the Elixir you could refine.

This was a rule, though not absolute; there were also some medicinal ingredients whose properties complemented each other. They might be ordinary on their own, but once combined, they could produce astonishing medicinal effects and could be used to refine high-grade Elixirs.

After finishing the refinement, Qin Hao did feel a trace of fatigue.

After all, he had thrown his whole heart and soul into this Alchemy.

At this moment, with this noisy master and disciple opening their mouths again, even he was getting a bit impatient.

"You two idiots, can you stop yapping already? If your mouths are really that itchy, go eat some shit, how about it?"

Qin Hao’s rapid-fire spraying first stunned Jade Stone Daoist and Li Yu for a moment, then both their faces flushed red.

Just as they were about to snap back, Iron Maiden on stage began to announce, "Table No. 3 refined five Yellow-grade Elixirs. All failed!"

"Table No. 14 refined three Yellow-grade Elixirs. All failed!"

"Table No. 19 refined eighteen Gradeless Elixirs. All succeeded!"

There were relatively few Alchemy Masters participating this time, so Iron Maiden read out the results very quickly.

In less than a moment, the vast majority of Alchemy Masters were completely "eliminated."

Those who successfully refined Elixirs had basically all produced Gradeless Elixirs.

Among them, there were also two Alchemy Masters who had refined a furnace of Yellow-grade Elixirs, drawing exclamations of admiration from the crowd.

Jade Stone Daoist was extremely disdainful of this: "You lot get this envious just because of a lucky furnace of Yellow-grade Elixirs? As expected, ants are just ants!"

He didn’t bother to lower his voice for that sentence, so many people heard it clearly.

All the Alchemy Masters glared at him furiously, cursing him every which way in their hearts.

Old man, you’re way too arrogant, aren’t you!

Even if you’re an Alchemy Master, you don’t have to be this full of yourself!

We can’t match you now because you’re already old; if we reach your age, we won’t necessarily be worse than you!

It could be said that Jade Stone Daoist successfully drew a wave of aggro.

Unfortunately, that hatred stayed buried in everyone’s hearts.

No one dared to say it out loud; after all, if you offended Jade Stone Daoist, there’d be no good days for you in the future.

Jade Stone Daoist was quite satisfied with everyone’s reaction.

He’d been humiliated by Qin Hao for so long that he’d been stewing with anger.

Since Qin Hao was completely oil-and-salt-proof and couldn’t be cursed into reacting, he might as well vent on the other Alchemy Masters.

Just then, Iron Maiden on the stage started announcing again.

"Table No. 53 refined..."

At that, everyone’s mood tightened up.

The Alchemy Masters were both expectant and malicious at the same time.

That old ghost’s Elixirs definitely wouldn’t be that high in grade.

After all, the medicinal properties of Poison Pills were all pretty ordinary!

Who knew reality would be nothing like that.

Iron Maiden: "Table No. 53 refined five Profound-grade Elixirs, all passed, rating: excellent..."

As her words fell, the whole place exploded in shock.

"This... did I hear that wrong?"

"Profound-grade Elixirs? Those already count as treasures of the extraordinary! Seriously?"

"My god! The last time I saw a Profound-grade Elixir was three years ago. Back then a rich tycoon went crazy and snapped it up for one billion USD!"

"A miracle, I never thought that in my lifetime I’d actually get to Witness the birth of a Profound-grade Elixir!"

Every Alchemy Master was shocked beyond belief.

Understandable, too.

The fundamental measure of an Alchemy Master’s level was still the grade of the Elixirs they refined.

In a world where Divine Skill Alchemists no longer existed.

Those who could refine Profound-grade Elixirs were few and far between. They could already lord it over the mortal world, true masters among masters.

Every Alchemy Master’s dream was to refine a Profound-grade Elixir.

Now that someone had displayed such a skill right before their eyes, how could they not be stunned?

Jade Stone Daoist was extremely pleased with everyone’s reaction.

Wonderful.

Truly wonderful.

After enduring in silence for so long, he had finally ushered in a wave of cheers.

Mm, this swarm of ants might be lowly, but at least their judgment wasn’t completely trash.

Thinking of ants, he couldn’t help glancing at Qin Hao.

Right now, Qin Hao was standing there with his arms folded, his face calm, his eyes tranquil, like a pool of clear spring water.

Jade Stone Daoist felt a bit enraged.

I’ve already refined a Profound-grade Elixir, and he’s still putting on an act?

Li Yu gritted his teeth and cursed, "Shameless bastard! Things have gotten to this point and you’re still pretending! Seeing my master refine a Profound-grade Elixir, your heart must be trembling like crazy!"

Jade Stone Daoist couldn’t help but sneer as well, "You little bastard, do you want to know the name of this Elixir?"

Qin Hao’s gaze slid over, but he didn’t speak.

Jade Stone Daoist bared his teeth in a grin. "Embarrassed to ask but still want to know, huh? I’ll tell you! This is a Witchcraft Gu Pill! A Poison Pill from the Witch Race passed down into the mortal world!"

"What! Witch Race?"

All the Alchemy Masters were shocked.

This world was both prosperous and mysterious. Mysterious places, mysterious families, mysterious rules.

Among the most mysterious things of all, the Witch Race definitely ranked near the top.

You could say that anything the Witch Race let slip into the world was enough to cause a massive storm in its own era.

And in the rumors passed among people, the thing most feared about the Witch Race was, of course, their poisons.

Jade Stone Daoist actually knew how to refine the Witch Race’s Poison Pill?

How terrifying was that!

Yet Qin Hao remained utterly unmoved.

He couldn’t even be bothered to lift his eyelids, just yawned and said, "Alright, alright, I get it."

"..."

Jade Stone Daoist froze for a second.

He was honestly so mad he could cry.

Alright, alright, I get it?

I just told you all that?

I’ve been threatening you for this long?

And that’s all the reaction I get from you?

"Master! I can’t take this bastard anymore!" Li Yu clutched his hair, his face full of mania. "When he eats that Elixir later and ends up wishing he were dead, I’m going to take a nice, big photo!"
