Chapter 1346

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 96

…

The expression of the burly man is that of derision and mockery as he sneered at the petite man who is now showing a pale complexion once again. He then smirks in the direction of Xin Ja.

But what he saw made him feel confused.

The young alchemist is actually not focusing on the battle, but instead continuously refining the herbs in front of him.

He could see that he would always fail in his refinement which made him sneer.

"I will finish this and accept my money afterward…" he thought as he takes a step toward the petite man.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja did not want to bother with the contest. When the petite man has taken a whiff of the potion, he knew that his plan has already come to fruition.

So he decided to practice more in refining. This time, he has many free medicinal herbs. There are actually 5 stalks of 6th-tier herbs in front of him. So how could he not grab this chance to refine them?

Without further ado, he divides the 5 stalks into 10 portions and began refining.

Soon, he was able to produce one failed refinement after another. The ten portions quickly were used as he refined them one by one. But through this, his refining skill also grew.

With his previous experience and with the help of the little flame, he was able to reach 90% while spending just the 6th portion of the herbs.

Suddenly, he notices a strange fluctuation of energy in the air. When he felt this, he quickly takes out a paper talisman and then wave it in the air.

Pop!

Blood and gore were sent flying everywhere as the whole arena turned silent.

The crowd has a look of horror on their faces, while the petite man is just sitting on the ground with his face full of blood and gore.

When his opponent has taken the potion and drinks it, he has already felt despair. He was thinking of drinking the potion so that he could win against his enemy. But who would have known that his opponent would actually explode?

He then remembers the words of the young alchemist.

"Just smell the potion 3 times…"

"But how could I win with just that? Could I just drink it and then fight?"

The young man did not reply and just gave him a look of contempt.

"For external use only…" the young alchemist said.

He did not understand what he meant by that. He is not a learned man, so he did not know what it means for external use only.

When he felt power while sniffing, he began to doubt the words of the young man and wanted to drink them at that time.

But it was taken from him.

But it seems that he should be grateful to that foolish guy for drinking the potion and exploding.Suddenly, the referee looks at the gruesome scene in front of him and then at Xin Ja.

Then a glint of craftiness appears in his eyes.

"You! You're making poison! This is not permitted! You should be disqualified!" the referee suddenly shouted.

The crowd was awoken from their stupor and began to point at Xin Ja.

But before the referee could say another word, he saw the young man standing up and walking in front of him.

"Pick it up!" Xin Ja suddenly said while pointing at the bottle on the ground.

The referee showed anger on his face as he thought that it was a provocation.

But before he could say anything, an old voice interrupted him.

"Pick it up, referee!"

The referee was a bit stunned as he knew who that elder is.

That old man is a representative from the alchemist association and is here to facilitate the contest in secret.

He could only grit his teeth in anger and humiliation as he picks up the bottle. Then he noticed a paper on the side of the bottle and could not help but read it out loud.

"For external use only…"

For some reason, his words were suddenly amplified in the entire arena.

This has startled him and the crowd.

Those that do not know what is happening showed a deep frown on their faces. But those that understood nodded their head in understanding.

"So it was like that… Hahaha… What a crafty little brat!" the old man said with a smile as he return back to his seat.

Everyone showed confusion in their eyes as they look at each other.

"Let me explain to everyone!" a member of the local alchemist guild stood up.

"For External Use Only means that the potion should not be ingested… One should either smell it or apply it on the skin."

With that explanation, the crowd seems to have understood the situation and nodded their heads.

When Xulo Peng heard those words, he suddenly slammed his fist on the chair.

He did not expect that the young brat is far too crafty that he could even calculate such an event from happening.

"Grandfather… what should we do? I did not expect this to happen…" he said feeling a bit helpless now.

The gloomy atmosphere between the two did not affect the whole crowd in the arena which now has known something very important about alchemy. They now should ask any alchemist if the potion is for ingesting or for… external use only.

The victory of Xin Ja in this contest made everyone look at him with respect and admiration. Who would have known that there is such an effect in a potion?The scene was cleaned and Xin Ja walked to the side of the winners.

But his face has a slight smile on them as he was able to obtain a great reward for his experience and understanding. Since he has reached the 90% in 6th tier herb refining, then he could now be considered a master level refining alchemist.

If he could concoct a 6th-tier pill or potion, then he has already become a master alchemist at this point in time.

If he is not mistaken, most of the alchemists sitting at the top of the judge's stand are either 5th-level alchemist assistants or master alchemists at the 6th level.

The reason why he thought so is that… the referee himself did not even know what he was refining when he was even looking at him at that time.

This means that the referee could only be considered as a 2nd or 3rd-level alchemist.

Xin Ja did not have time to think about these things at this time and just headed down the stairs to continue with the contest.

This time, he enters the next arena where the rest of those who won in refining and the battles are gathered.

As he walks to the side of Master Yo, he saw a few people staring at him.

"The hyper stimulant potion is a nice trick, but it would not work on me…" a proud voice interrupted Xin Ja when he was about to talk to Master Yo.

Xin Ja shifted his gaze behind him and saw a handsome-looking tall young man walking toward him. Beside that handsome young man walks a beautiful young woman with light blue eyes.

Her eyes made her look a bit different from the rest of the people in the crowd, and her beauty looks ethereal.

Xin Ja rise one of his brows but did not say anything and just turns his sight back to Master Yo.

"I like challenges… so I will challenge you on who is the best alchemist between us? If I won, then you quit this tournament and become our slave…" he said with a grin.

Xin Ja did not know who this young man is, but his face seems a bit familiar.

The young woman beside the young man suddenly frowns when she heard those words.

"Junior Brother isn't that a bit domineering…" she reminded.

"Senior Sister, this is the only way we can keep these hillbillies from acting smug…" he suddenly said.

"Hmm… You have your condition, how about if I win?" Xin Ja suddenly asked.

"Win? Against me? Hahaha… That is impossible. You… you can only lose!" the young man proudly said.

"Stupid ass… I don't want to waste my time on a stupid coward…" Xin Ja said while shaking his head.

His words made the face of the young man turn black.

The people around them already have their attention on the two. They knew that there might be animosity between them, that is why that handsome young man threw a challenge.

But the words from that small youth are very offensive and if they are in the shoes of that handsome young man, they would have already lost their composure.

"You… What do you want? I'll accept the condition, but I will add that if I win, I will have your life!" the handsome young man shouted in anger.

This time, the young woman beside him, frowned.

She suddenly turns around and left.

"Haha… Stupid, you even exposed your cruel self to someone you like… If you're not stupid then what are you?" Xin Ja jeered.

He already remembers who this young man resembles. It was that young master of the Xulo clan, Xulo Peng.

From what he could tell, this guy should be Xulo Peng's younger brother or something.
