Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

Chapter 136 Pill Recipes

"What... alchemy!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yueming's words, Yang Shuo, despite her usually indifferent nature, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Jiang Yiyu is a genuine second-grade alchemist, officially certified, and we can glean two pieces of information from their conversation.

First, it was no accident that Jiang Yiyu became an alchemist. He started learning to refine pills from a young age. With the Jiang family's resources, it was not difficult to cultivate a highly skilled alchemist.

However, alchemy is a profession that heavily relies on talent and soul power. The latter can be made up for through hard work, but the former cannot be made up for no matter what.

Talent is such a mysterious thing. If two people with the same basic level are taught by the same teacher, then whoever learns faster is said to have better talent than the latter.

Jiang Yiyu was able to refine pills from a young age, so his talent must be exceptional, while Jiang Yueming doesn't seem to have refined any pills at all.

Secondly, from Jiang Yiyu's words, we can know that Jiang Yueming has never won since she was a child. Now that she is older, it will be harder than climbing to heaven to win again!

Taking everything into consideration, Jiang Yueming's choice to compete with Jiang Yiyu in alchemy was undoubtedly a self-inflicted humiliation!

A genius alchemist nurtured from childhood, and an ordinary person who has not undergone systematic training—the outcome of who wins and who loses was predetermined from the start.

"Young Master Jiang, in my opinion, there's no need for a pill-refining contest. We've already reached this point, let's fight our way out."

Yang Shuo carefully surveyed her surroundings with her pale red eyes, searching for a weak point in the bandits' encirclement, so that she might be able to break through even if a fight broke out.

However, that might come at a great cost, but there's no other way now; Jiang Yueming is bound to lose the alchemy competition.

Although she couldn't understand why Jiang Yueming would say those words, there was no point in thinking about it anymore now.

"Dr. Yang, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. You can leave at any time."

Jiang Yueming's eyes hardened. She rejected Yang Shuo's suggestion and stepped forward, saying, "Jiang Yiyu, tell me, what grade of pill do you want to refine?"

He had his reasons for insisting on doing so. Since the Jiang family had been humiliating and disliking him in various ways, there was no need to give them any face from now on.

He's determined to avenge all the humiliation and resentment his predecessor suffered in the Jiang family! He'll start with Jiang Yiyu!

Isn't he just taking advantage of his status as an alchemist to act recklessly and spout nonsense here?

Jiang Yueming will utterly shatter his proud alchemy lineage right here today, and bring all the world's elixirs down from their pedestal!

First it was Huang Yuyuan, then Jiang Yiyu, both of them used their status as alchemists to intimidate others. He's really had enough!

The long-held desire within him grew stronger, like a raging fire spreading across his heart.

Upon hearing Jiang Yueming ask him what grade of pill he wanted to refine, Jiang Yiyu burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Jiang Yueming, you've really grown up, asking me what grade I want to refine!"

"You're not even a first-grade alchemist yet, and you're asking me what grade I want to refine? You're incredibly foolish."

Jiang Yiyu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his smile unable to stop, and said, "Hahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm about to die laughing at your stupidity."

Jiang Yiyu wasn't the only one making sarcastic remarks; even Li Gu and the others standing behind them shook their heads and laughed mockingly.

"How dare this kid? That's the Jiang family's alchemist!"

"Hey, don't you think Jiang Yueming is also a member of the Jiang family?"

"Oh, so it's just a battle of wits within the family. But one's a genius and the other's a good-for-nothing, so the result is completely meaningless."

"Come on, everyone, place your bets on who will win!"

Despite the gang's mockery, there were also those who wanted to have some fun, pulling everyone in to watch the show and place bets. The result was clear: not a single person sided with Jiang Yueming.

"Based on my forty-plus years of experience, you brat are bound to lose this bet!" Xie Chengkun glanced at Jiang Yueming with resentment in his eyes and said with a sneer.

Standing beside him, Li Gu stared at Jiang Yueming with the same look: "If he hadn't suddenly interfered, I would have already taken down Yang Shuo. Now he dares to humiliate himself. I'll wait and see how he makes a fool of himself!"

Jiang Yiyu made no attempt to stop the disdainful voices behind him. Instead, he said with a half-smile, "Jiang Yueming, why don't you just admit you're a lowly worm?"

"Otherwise, don't lose too badly later!"

Jiang Yueming showed no intention of backing down, and snorted, "Jiang Yiyu, you always look down on me. Well, when I finally get to the top, you better not bark like a dog."

Hearing this insult, Jiang Yiyu's face showed a slight anger, but he suppressed it and said, "A lowly crawler should have the awareness of a lowly crawler. We are not the same kind of people. If you want to defeat me, you'd better be born into a better family."

Even if the King of Heaven himself came to help Jiang Yueming today, it would be useless. He didn't believe that after studying alchemy for more than ten years, he was no match for a family waste who had never practiced alchemy.

"Hmph, there's no point in saying more, Jiang Yiyu. You should think about how you're going to get out of here later."

Jiang Yueming took out a red ordinary storage ring, and with a slight flash of thought, a large pot appeared before him. The pot was no different from the cooking pots used by ordinary people at home.

However, Jiang Yiyu almost died laughing when he saw this: "Hahaha, Jiang Yueming, don't tell me this is your alchemy furnace. Should I reward you with one?"

That's right! It's not a loan, it's a reward!

With Jiang Yiyu's wealth and status, he could easily spend millions without even blinking an eye.

Does Jiang Yueming possess these resources and funds?

No! He didn't have a single one! So in Jiang Yiyu's eyes, he was just a lowly worm!

They will spend their entire lives as servants, or even pawns, to be manipulated at will by the powerful and wealthy!

"Jiang Yiyu, stop barking like a dog and hurry up and decide what kind of pill to refine!" Jiang Yueming said while starting a fire in the water-filling pot.

He had previously consulted Fu Dongliu in detail about the theory of alchemy, and Fu Dongliu had also taught him in detail.

However, Fu Dongliu could not personally demonstrate the medicine-making process to him, so he has not practiced it yet.

But it doesn't matter, he's not someone who makes a living from that anyway. He just needs to understand the principles of alchemy.

Jiang Yiyu watched Jiang Yueming's comical movements, as if he were about to start a fire and cook, and forcibly suppressed his laughter, saying, "Since you've brought this upon yourself, then refine the second-grade pill, the Blood Spirit Pill."

After saying that, Jiang Yiyu shook his head and chuckled, his eyes full of contempt, and took out a copy of the Blood Spirit Pill formula from his pocket and threw it to Jiang Yueming.

Glug!

A brown paper roll rolled to Jiang Yueming's feet. He casually picked it up and threw it into the pot. The violent flames instantly burned the roll to ashes, and a ring of bubbles rose rapidly from the boiling water in the pot.

His action surprised everyone present.

Jiang Yueming actually burned the pill formula?

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!
