C1677 Thyme Fructus
When Tang Ao and Lu Yu competed, Luo Yunchang watched from the side like a curious baby. On the surface, it looked like this was a showdown between two peak 9-star apothecaries. However, even Lu Yu and Tang Ao did not know that their opponent was similar to them, who was also at the Tier 1 Immortal Pill Master. The only difference was that Tang Ao received the Shen Nong Emperor's Alchemy Inheritance, while Lu Yu was a Successor Disciple of the Celestial Dan Sect's current Pill Emperor, Qin Yue.2
Amongst the alchemists of the younger generation in Real Martial Realm, Lu Yu was rarely seen as a match for him. Therefore, when Lu Yu and Tang Ao were comparing pill refining, Lu Yu felt that she was bullying Tang Ao. In Lu Yu's cave, Lu Yu and Tang Ao both took out their pill furnaces. Tang Ao took out the Black Rock Pill Furnace s that he had used on the Alchemy Conference to compare pill refining with Lu Yu, so Tang Ao naturally could not use his Shen Nong Tripod to bully her.
Lu Yu also had a pretty good pill furnace in her hands, but after seeing that Tang Ao took out a pill furnace that was native to Flying Star Continent, Lu Yu also did not take out a high grade one. The Black Rock Pill Furnace that Tang Ao took out was made of materials unique to the Flying Star Continent. Although the quality of this pill furnace was not bad, but amongst all the pill furnaces that Lu Yu had seen before, the Black Rock Pill Furnace could only be considered average.
"Senior brother Tang Ao, how do you think we should compete?" Lu Yu was obviously very confident. As a true Tier 1 Immortal Pill Master, Lu Yu never thought that she would lose to Tang Ao in terms of pill refining as a pill refiner of Flying Star Continent. It was just that Lu Yu did not know that Tang Ao was not a pill refiner of the Flying Star Continent, but had come here from another high ranked continent, just like her.
Furthermore, Tang Ao now had the ability to refine a grade one immortal pill, but until now, he had yet to have the chance to refine a grade one immortal pill. Although Tang Ao had a few fairy grass s on him, these fairy grass were still unable to gather a complete set of immortal pill formulas. Since Lu Yu asked him to state the rules of the competition, Tang Ao did not reject it.
In Tang Ao's opinion, whether it was making rules for himself or Lu Yu making rules, both were fine as long as it was fair to both sides. After thinking for a while, Tang Ao said: "Junior sister Lu Yu, how about we compete to refine three different types of pills? The first type of pill is to refine supreme nourishing pellet, the second type is to refine thyme fructus, and the third type is to refine Heavy Yang Pill. "What do you think?"
Although refining these three pellets looked extremely fair, but because Heavy Yang Pill and Tang Ao had refined the best, it seemed like Lu Yu was at a disadvantage in this kind of competition. After all, Lu Yu might be able to refine other pills well, but she was not good at refining supreme nourishing pellet s or Heavy Yang Pill s.
However, what was outside of Tang Ao's expectations, was that Lu Yu didn't think too much into it and directly nodded his head. Although Lu Yu had heard that Tang Ao had refined a top-grade nourishing pellet and Heavy Yang Pill from the Alchemy Conference, Lu Yu still did not think that the pills Tang Ao had refined would be better than the ones he had refined himself. Heavy Yang Pill was the hardest pill to refine out of the nine star pills, so it was obvious that Tang Ao could choose to compete with the Heavy Yang Pill.
In Flying Star Continent, as a pill refiner, you can not refine other pills, but you must know how to refine nourishing pellet. Therefore, Tang Ao proposing to refine a supreme nourishing pellet naturally didn't have any problems. It seemed like he had gotten the advantage with the last kind of thyme fructus pellet. But in reality, out of all the nine star pellets, thyme fructus used Spirit Grasses the most. Therefore, Tang Ao suggesting to refine the pellet was equally fair, because the thyme fructus was a type of pellet that was usually used.
