I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"Sir, you can use this alchemy furnace."

The female staff member guided Xu Yuan to the alchemy furnace and kindly pointed out the location of the firewood and charcoal.

Xu Yuan simply nodded politely: "Thanks, I have my own stove."

He reached into his hand and pulled out the alchemy furnace he had bought at the auction. He had thought he would have to collect all the medicinal herbs in a timely manner before putting it to use, but he never expected that he could use it now.

With the alchemy furnace placed in front of him, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. With a flick of his sword finger, the firewood in the distance seemed to be blown by the wind and rolled to Xu Yuan's feet.

With a flick of his finger, he gently beckoned towards Song Wenxuan's furnace, and flames shot up, instantly igniting the firewood and charcoal in front of him.

Song Wenxuan, whose face was red from the smoke of the charcoal fire, was so frightened by the flames that he quickly retreated. When he saw the flames reach Xu Yuan, his brows furrowed tightly.

"This is?"

He had seen Master Songyang use this technique before, but he had never been able to learn it.

Master Songyang said that only martial arts masters can do this. How could he do it?

The fire in front of Xu Yuan slowly rose, the flames growing larger. He pointed his sword at the small alchemy furnace in the center, and the ancient bronze cauldron that had been small before began to rotate in the fire, gradually growing larger.

"this……"

Zhang Ruonan's eyes widened in surprise, thinking she was seeing things.

She rubbed her eyes abruptly; the cauldron, which was originally the size of a bowl, had now grown to the size of a pot.

"How did you do that?"

Gazing at Xu Yuan's retreating figure, as if enveloped by a mysterious power, Zhang Ruonan's eyes lit up with admiration. "So handsome!"

Song Wenxuan focused intently on his alchemy furnace. The most important thing in alchemy is to concentrate and not allow for the slightest mistake.

He naturally didn't notice the strange situation on Xu Yuan's side.

The others sitting on the stools had all witnessed the alchemy process firsthand, and were pointing their phones at Song Wenxuan, completely ignoring Xu Yuan.

In their view, Xu Yuan and Song Wenxuan are simply incomparable.

Master Songyang's disciple is naturally exceptional.

"Watching Young Master Song refine pills in person is truly a pleasure."

"I need the pills that Song Shaoxin has just refined. None of you are allowed to take them from me."

"We won't compete with you; we'll sell other things."

With a muffled thud, the onlookers turned to the source of the sound and saw Xu Yuan sitting cross-legged in front of the fire, with white smoke billowing from the cauldron in front of him, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"What is that guy doing? I hope it doesn't explode later."

"Let's stay away, so we don't get hurt later."

"If I were him, I would have taken the opportunity to slip away long ago. Comparing myself to Young Master Song would only bring shame upon myself."

On the other side, Song Wenxuan was nearing the end of his work when he glanced at Xu Yuan out of the corner of his eye and shook his head sarcastically.

The flames in front of Xu Yuan rose rapidly, shrouded in white mist, yet they did not diminish the aroma of the medicinal herbs, completely contradicting the alchemy techniques he had learned.

He even suspected that the medicinal herbs he wished to gather were just wild grasses.

If he wastes the medicinal herbs, he will have to pay for them later.

"Open the furnace."

Song Wenxuan shouted confidently, and his bodyguards immediately rushed forward to help, some pulling fire and others preparing to open the top of the roof.

Upon opening the lid, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs quickly filled the surrounding area.

The people sitting on the stools smelled the aroma and couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan, feeling refreshed all over.

"Taking a breath feels like inhaling a breath of celestial energy."

Song Wenxuan was very satisfied with their reaction and stopped the bodyguards from taking out the pills: "The effect will be better if you take them out later."

His gaze fell on Xu Yuan, and he tried to smell it. Apart from the smell of smoke and dust, there was no trace of medicinal herbs or pills.

I've already won. Let's see how you call me "Grandpa" later.

He made no attempt to hide the smile on his face and walked over to Zhang Ruonan to strike up a conversation.

"Miss Ruonan, society is complicated these days, there are all sorts of scammers out there. You're so beautiful, you have to be careful."

"Some people are just pretty faces; you don't even know why they're getting close to you."

Song Wenxuan didn't mention Xu Yuan, but his eyes never left her.

Zhang Ruonan smiled and met Song Wenxuan's sincere eyes: "You're talking about yourself, aren't you?"

Song Wenxuan wasn't angry: "I meant well. A beauty like you should definitely find someone of equal social standing."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to puff out his chest.

"receive!"

Zhang Ruonan's attention was entirely on Xu Yuan, and she didn't see his little actions. She only heard Xu Yuan softly say "shut up," and the flames under the furnace condensed into a ball of fire.

With a flick of his sword, Xu Yuan raised the cauldron, and the flames obediently entered it, instantly extinguishing the fire.

He snapped his fingers at the cauldron, and the cauldron began to spin on its own.

Upon seeing this, Song Wenxuan's eyes widened, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to say to provoke the other person.

How did he do that?

In Xu Yuan's hands, the cauldron was like a dice cup in the hands of a casino dealer, swaying left and right, up and down, moving at will.

"Certainly!"

Xu Yuan stretched out his hand, and the cauldron landed steadily in his palm. Everything around him quieted down, as if nothing had happened.

"The alchemy cauldron has shrunk?"

Song Wenxuan stared at the cauldron in Xu Yuan's hand, which had grown from small to large, and suddenly understood why Daoist Songyang had asked him to bid for the bronze cauldron.

He couldn't see what use it had, but it was definitely something special.

Xu Yuan stood up, holding the cauldron in her hands, and walked slowly to Song Wenxuan.

"Mine is done."

The people sitting on the stools couldn't wait to stand up and move closer to them, looking at the bronze cauldron with great curiosity.

"Fancy and overly complicated."

Song Wenxuan did not approve of Xu Yuan's outrageous actions and beckoned over a female staff member.

"Let's check the extracted medicinal materials first."

With Xu Yuan's permission, Zhang Ruonan also unfolded the prescription she had been holding.

Two prescriptions were placed on the table, and everyone gathered around to examine them.

"Take the healing pill and get it tested on the machine."

Master Songyang took the pills he had refined onto the machine, which then began broadcasting the detected medicinal materials.

"Main ingredients: 2 ounces of wild ginseng, 1 ounce of Paris polyphylla, 8 mace of wild angelica..."

As the medicinal ingredients were announced, Zhang Ruonan and the others stared at the ingredients on Xu Yuan and Song Wenxuan's prescriptions, comparing them one by one, and found that they all matched.

"Looks like it'll be a draw." The middle-aged woman said in a low voice, and the way she looked at Xu Yuan was different now.

It was already beyond their expectations that Xu Yuan could fight Song Wenxuan to a draw.

"It wasn't a tie, Xu Yuan won."

Zhang Ruonan spoke, pointing to the gram values ​​at the end of the pill formula.

"Look, Xu Yuan wrote down the price in taels for each kind of medicinal herb, while Song Wenxuan didn't. So Xu Yuan won."

"It seems so. I didn't expect this kid to be so capable," the middle-aged woman agreed.

"It only said to list the medicinal materials, but it didn't say to list the weight in grams."

"If you're asking me to write down the weight in grams, I can do that too." Song Wenxuan had his own reasons.

He said it, but his heart was already pounding.

He wished he could write down the exact weight of the pill just by observing it, but he couldn't do that.

"You're cheating." Zhang Ruonan argued vehemently, but Xu Yuan raised his hand to stop him.

"Young Master Song is right. Since we didn't say anything beforehand, it doesn't count. Let's call it a draw."

Let's test the purity of the elixir directly.
