As Cen Yuandao finished his preparations and began refining the Five Qi Chao Ling Pill, Fang Yun also entered his zone.
The alchemy competition between them began just like that.
The spirit medicines used in the competition for the Five Qi Chao Ling Pill were of similar quality. With a perfect refinement, one could produce six Upper Grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pills.
Not long after the alchemy competition began, an Elder of Alchemy from the Purple Mist Sect commented:
"They're both using the fastest refining method for the Five Qi Chao Ling Pill."
"The fastest method... They're just making it harder on themselves."
The fastest method for refining a batch of pills is usually the most difficult.
If one's alchemy skill is high enough, this method is ideal, as it saves the most time.
"Aren't they competing on the final grade of the pills? Wouldn't it be better to use the steadiest, slowest method?"
"That just shows you don't get it. They both have something to prove."
