Chapter 1379
Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 129
…
The capital's alchemy contest has started and the champions of each of the cities have already arrived inside a large coliseum where the royal family of the kingdom of Radong welcomes everyone.
The crowd already has their own favorites and the excitement is in the air. The most excited people in the crowd are the merchants and the alchemist, as they would be able to obtain innovative products and learn alchemy techniques today.
And so the festive atmosphere made the alchemy contest in the kingdom of Radong become a happy occasion for the people.
But the happiest among them is the king who has known that the kingdom of Radong needed to advance its alchemy prowess just like what the kingdom of Jimal did.
If the kingdom could advance their alchemy and learn how to make pills, then he is sure that his kingdom would progress just like that in Jimal.
In fact, his kingdom would become superior to others as the kingdom of Redong is actually the main supplier of rare medicinal herbs in the whole empire.
Without the kingdom of Radong's rare medicinal herbs, then the rare herbs in the whole empire would surely suffer and the number of high-level master alchemists would become lower.
So how could he not adopt the changes brought by the Kingdom of Jimal?
Right now, the kingdom of Radong has invited a few guests from the kingdom of Jimal's alchemy association.
Those people are here to check and see the progress of the alchemy prowess of the kingdom and will teach the alchemist of the kingdom how they can grow just like that in the Jimal kingdom.
At this time, the king, who is seated in the throne area beside his queen, looks in the direction where two white robes figures are seated while exchanging some words with the few master alchemists from his own kingdom.
Upon seeing the smiles and some serious faces in the group, he could not help but feel a bit happy.
"My kingdom would soon reach the peek and we will gain what the Jimal kingdom has…" he thought as his next target would be to create those giants called Mecha.
He has already given this task to the master craftsmen in the kingdom, and he was promised that a prototype would soon be unveiled to the public.
The blueprint of the Mecha is already spread throughout the kingdom of Jimal, but that is only the frame. Without the inner system and the engine of the Mecha, then the frame would only be a bunch of scrap metal with intricate design.
And because of this, even the empire is having a hard time creating their own Mecha unless they order the engine directly from the kingdom of Jimal.
Hence this is the reason why the kingdom of Jimal has risen to the top.
But the creator of such a machine is now gone and those that are responsible for his so-called demise are being punished in the kingdom. Even the two influential princes were implicated in that incident and have been suffering until now.But of course, the king of Radong kingdom could only wish that the creator of the Mecha could have been from his kingdom. In his mind, if that guy has only been born in his kingdom, he would make sure that the guy and his family would be protected no matter what.
Such a treasure is not something that you can just let go of.
While the king is in his stupor, the contest has already begun. Xin Ja and Master Yo began to show off their prowess in refining as they were consistent with the 80% purity.
When the other winners from the other cities and towns even in the capital saw the result of the refining, they could not believe their eyes.
Of course, the elders from the alchemy association who rode with Xin Ja and his group could only show smug smiles.
Their refining ability has increased in the short time of travel and 80% is now considered their minimum.
In the alchemy association, the highest purity recorded was 83%. That is why when the elders saw the purification ability of Xin Ja and Master Yo, they have already determined to protect the two no matter what.
"If these fools find out that those two could refine up to 90%, I think they would kowtow their heads off…" Master Alchemist Roan smirked while looking at the old men who have their mouths agape while in their seats.
The old man and the silver-haired old woman sitting beside her, signaled for her not to say anything. That thing is their secret and they did not want to spread it out yet.
There was no suspense as Master Yo takes 1st place and Xin Ja takes 2nd place in the refining contest.
The two continue to the semi-final round.
At this time, the 3rd prince of the kingdom of Radong glared at Xin Ja as he clenches his fists.
Who would have known that the b*stard is actually this good in refining?
The report that he has asked his subordinate to give him is surely accurate. He could only grit his teeth in exasperation.
"That damn Lei Berong has brought me something troublesome…" he muttered.
But then a slight killing intent appears in his eyes while glaring at Xin Ja.
After the alchemy contest, he would use all of his connection and power, so that he could oppress that fellow and then kill him.
No matter much of genius he is, he would not be able to withstand the authority of the royal family.
"Even with the influence of the alchemy association, your head would still be mine…" he said with a menacing gaze.
Xin Ja could feel the killing intent thrown at him, but he did not mind.
…The semifinal only has around 50 contestants, as the rest were eliminated in the refining contest.
After resting for a while, the contest once again resumes as the 50 contestants are now tasked to create pills or potions using the ingredients provided. Their scores would be dependent on the tier and efficacy of the product they are able to produce.
As the contest starts, Xin Ja and Master Yo did not bother to create any complicated products. They created a high-purity middle-tier healing pill.
After the two passes their pills, the judges showed a hint of dismay in their eyes when they saw the healing pills.
"Sigh… I could sense that the purity of the ingredients of these pills is truly amazing… But this is a contest, so I could tell that I am a bit dismayed…" he said as he looks at the almost transparent black pill inside a bottle.
"Yeah, I was hoping to see Master Yo create an advance tier potion, but I guess, our pill manufacturing ability is still not on par with the Jimal kingdom…" an old man said while looking at the middle-aged alchemist in a white robe from Jimal kingdom.
But when his eyes saw the white-robed guy, he was dumbfounded to see the stunned look on the white-robed guy's expression.
He frowned and then looks at the other invited alchemist from the Jimal kingdom.
But what he saw dumbfounded him.
All of them have stunned expressions while looking at the pill concocted by Master Yo.
A beautiful tall white-robed woman suddenly stands up and then pointed at Master Yo.
"You… Who… who taught you this technique?!" she called out.
Everyone in the stadium turned silent while their eyes are glued to the arena.
Master Yo felt a bit shy while being pointed at by a woman who is younger than him by a couple of years.
"Replying to the elder… I have been practicing refining for a while now… and this is the reason why I am able to concoct such a pill…" Master Yo replied while cupping his hand in respect.
The woman frowned but did not say anything.
Although the refining process of the guy is remarkable, that pill refining process should not have been learned just by anyone outside of the Jimal kingdom.
She could not help but looks at the young man beside him and frown.
"He looks a bit familiar…" she said while knitting her brow.
At this time, Xin Ja has also noticed the woman and a complicated expression appears on his face.
In fact, he has actually seen the woman before in the war many years back then. At that time, she was still a mere apprentice alchemist but always showed enthusiasm while working with those old fellows he taught.
Before the woman could think deeply, an elder beside her stood up.
"These two fellows have already passed… There is no need to check their product… We will grant the 1st to Master Yo, and the 2nd place to Master Xin… They have already shown ability close to the degree of what we have in the Jimal kingdom…" the old man said with a smile.
He then looks at the elders around him.
"Congratulations on discovering two prodigies…" he said with a smile.
The elders of the Radong Alchemy Association could not help but show stunned expressions on their faces.
Meanwhile, the silver-haired Alchemist Xun frowned as she did not expect that these guys would recognize the technique. She could only feel happy as she knew that those two would now be well-known in the kingdom.
