Let's Bring Down the Price of Heaven-Restoring Pills!
[Faced with so many enthusiastic fans, after completing the Alchemy, Qian Wen circled his six arms around himself, much like a martial arts master withdrawing their power after unleashing their attack.]
[This scene triggered another round of screams.]
[Qian Wen was smug, his chin unconsciously puffed out.]
Seeing that you were still busy, he simply had to get to the point.
"Redhead, I've already won, what are you still busy with?"
[You ignored him, focusing intently on tumbling around the Pill Furnace, sometimes standing on the lid, sometimes diving into the flames at the bottom, and occasionally slapping the Pill Furnace with your hand.]
[Qian Wen rolled his eyes at this, beckoned the referee over, and asked him to announce the result.]
[Ancestor Shen was watching from the sidelines, sighed.]
"Chen Yi lost."
[Li Wentian said calmly.]
"That's not necessarily true."
"Isn't it obvious? They're competing to see who can Alchemy faster. If they can both succeed, then it comes down to who has the higher success rate. Right now, Qian Wen is faster than Chen Yi, and his success rate is 100%. How can he possibly win?"
"It's too early to say anything until the very end."
"Unless a miracle occurs."
Throughout history, those who have achieved great things have often been those who, amidst great chaos, were the ones whom everyone thought would fail.
[Ancestor Shen had never been an emperor, and therefore disagreed with Li Wentian's theories on imperial matters.]
[At the same time, the referee had walked onto the field, stood between the two sides, raised his flag, and announced the start of the game.]
"The Thousand-Hand Alchemy Sage has completed the Alchemy first, with a success rate of 100%. I hereby declare the winner to be..."
[You, busy at work, suddenly shout out.]
"Wait! It's too early to announce now! The three-day period hasn't even begun!"
[The referee said with a hint of helplessness.]
"You Human Race are so unreasonable! Even if you had ten pills in your furnace, the Alchemy Saint would still have won. Don't you understand the rules?"
[In the midst of your busy schedule, you looked up at the referee and said mysteriously.]
"What if I have more than ten?"
[The referee didn't laugh, but Qian Wen, standing to the side, was so angry he laughed.]
"If you can refine eleven pills, I'll eat this Pill Furnace!"
[You laugh out loud.]
"Okay! What if there are twelve?"
[Qian Wen is now looking at you with an expression as if you're an idiot.]
"The more pills you refine, the more Pill Furnace I'll consume! Are you satisfied now?"
"A man's word is his bond! I hope you, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, will keep your word!"
"It's the Thousand-Hand Alchemy Sage, you idiot!"
[You continued Alchemy, oblivious to everyone else.]
[The referee glanced at you, then at Qian Wen, looking completely bewildered.]
[Qian Wen still, adjusting his breathing, and said calmly.]
"Anyway, it'll be over in half a day. Let him practice. Let's see how long he can keep up his act!"
[Now you're the only one left to Alchemy.]
[The eyes of the onlookers have finally shifted from the Thousand-Hand Alchemy Sage to you.]
[Just a couple of days ago, only some people who knew Alchemy were observing you, and their conclusion was: you're a complete novice.]
Everyone's watching you now, and they've all come to the same conclusion: you're definitely a complete novice.
[For those who don't understand Alchemy, watching Alchemist Alchemy is, if not pleasing to the eye, at least mysterious and complex.]
[But watching you Alchemy feels like I'm just lighting a fire at home; there's nothing I can't understand, everything is within my comprehension.]
[Soon, half a day had passed.]
[This half-day was agonizing for the onlookers.]
[Unable to appreciate the extraordinary and stunning Chaotic Cloak Alchemy Method, all I can do is watch you tend the fire; how can I not suffer?]
[By the time it was almost over, more than half the onlookers had left.]
[Just as the referee was about to announce the time limit, your Pill Furnace made a loud "bang."]
[This sound startled all the drowsy viewers awake.]
"What's wrong? Is someone having a magical duel?"
"Who dares to fight on our Opera Star? It's that red-haired Human Race; it looks like his Pill Furnace exploded."
"Luckily, the Pill Furnace provided by the Pindan Tower is sturdy enough, otherwise we would have been in trouble if it had exploded while he was Alchemy!"
"Alright, alright! Where's the referee? Quickly announce that our Senior Dan Sheng has won, and end this farce!"
[The referee was about to speak again, but you interrupted him once more.]
["Open!"]
[With a flick of your finger, the lid of the Pill Furnace flew into the sky, trailing a wisp of white smoke.]
[Then, something astonishing happened.]
[Pill, Heaven-Restoring Pill, flowed continuously from the Pill Furnace!]
[Waves upon waves, surges forth like a gushing spring, completely unstoppable!]
[Just like Meijia put too much corn in the popcorn machine!]
[The Heaven-Restoring Pill continued to overflow, rolling everywhere and surging towards the onlookers.]
Everyone was stunned, unable to tell whether these were Pill you had concocted or illusions you had created with Law Technique.
However, it's also very simple to verify.
[Alchemist at the scene picked up one from the ground and ate it, exclaiming in surprise.]
["They're Heaven-Restoring Pill! These... these are all Heaven-Restoring Pill??"]
[Popcorn, no, the Heaven-Restoring Pill is still continuously spewing out of the Pill Furnace.]
[You fly into the air, raise your hands, and shout to the entire audience.]
"No one came for nothing! Everyone who came today will receive all the Heaven-Restoring Pill I've refined! Free of charge! Let's drive down the price of Heaven-Restoring Pill!"
After a brief silence, the scene erupted into a frenzied scramble.
"Mine! Mine! This whole pile is mine!"
"Holy crap! Pick up the one right under your feet! Why are you grabbing mine?!"
["OMG! So many top- Pill! I'm rich!!"]
Amidst the chaos, you carried your Pill Furnace and approached Qian Wen.
"Eat up, don't be shy, I have more if you're not full."
[ At this Qian Wen, all three of Qianwen's brains are still in a state of shutdown.]
[He picked up the three Pill with a dazed look in his eyes, and each of his three heads tasted one.]
"It's truly Heaven-Restoring Pill..."
You waved your hand in front of Qian Wen's eyes.
"Hey! Don't play dumb, you have to accept the consequences of your bet!"
[Qian Wen finally came to his senses, his three eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea formed in his mind. He shouted angrily.]
"You cheated! You bought a large quantity of Heaven-Restoring Pill in advance and secretly put them into the Pill Furnace while it was Alchemy!"
"Do you think Heaven-Restoring Pill are as common as cabbages, readily available everywhere? Go and buy that many Heaven-Restoring Pill, let me see!"
[Your one sentence left Qian Wen speechless, but he still stubbornly persisted.]
"Stop talking nonsense! I won't let your friend go, and you're not leaving either! Come with me to the city lord's office, I'm going to sue you both until you've rotted in jail!"
Just then, a familiar voice rang out from the crowd.
"Thousand-Hand Alchemy Sage, now that the competition has been decided, why are you so sore loser?"
