Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 670: Overestimating Oneself?

"I’ll go."

A loud shout rang out.

A figure with arms crossed slowly walked toward the front desk from the banquet seats and picked up the pill recipe.

"Peak Fourth-grade Pill Recipe may be difficult, but it’s not too much for me," the figure said, full of pride.

"The Hu family’s genius is going first, very good," the Breeze City Lord said, looking at the newcomer with approval.

"Hehe." At this point, another person stood up from the banquet and quickly walked to the desk.

"I’ll go too."

Below at the banquet, Du Youyou pouted and glanced at the two people in front.

The two who had just spoken to mock her were the two young talents.

One was Mr. Hu, and the other was Young Master Zhong.

"Since Mr. Hu and Young Master Zhong are interested, this young lady will also join in the fun."

Another person stood up from the banquet seats and slowly walked towards the desk.

It was a woman.

As she passed the banquet seats where Xiao Yi was, she stopped for half a second, looked at Xiao Yi, blinked her suggestive eyes, full of teasing.

Then, the woman continued to move gracefully toward the desk, leaving behind a whiff of fragrance.

"Hmph, shameless," Du Youyou muttered as she watched the woman’s retreating figure.

The woman was also one of those who had mocked her earlier; she was Miss Zhou of the Zhou Family.

The Hu family, Zhong family, and Zhou family were all like the Du family, known as famous Alchemy Families in Breeze City.

Next to the front desk, there was a space specifically left open.

This was where the Alchemy talents would perform their Alchemy.

The many guests at the banquet tables could clearly see the Alchemy process.

The three who took the stage first, after contemplating the pill recipe for half an hour, officially began Alchemy.

Boom...Boom...Boom...

Three flames emerged, each forming separately.

Beside the three, were the materials prepared by the City Lord’s Mansion.

Not long after the three began their Alchemy, cheers and applause erupted from among the guests.

"Amazing, truly worthy of being the three famous Alchemy geniuses of our Breeze City."

"The three families are renowned Alchemy Families indeed, each household without a weak member."

The ’spectacular’ Alchemy techniques of the three elicited repeated exclamations of amazement from the guests.

Below at the banquet seats, Du Youyou ate her dishes sullenly, not bothering to look up.

After a while, she turned to Xiao Yi and asked, "Young Master Xiao Yi, you were asking me about the prize earlier, are you planning to take the stage?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "But I am not a resident of Breeze City; can I still go on stage?"

"Of course," Du Youyou said.

"The Breeze Pharmacist Banquet is an exchange between Alchemists."

"As one of the most respected professions on the continent, any Alchemist is welcome to take the stage."

"I see," Xiao Yi nodded.

"But," Du Youyou frowned as she looked at the stage up front, "they are all very impressive."

"Young Master Xiao Yi might not be able to win the prize from them."

"Heh," Xiao Yi smiled faintly, asking, "Miss Youyou is not inferior to those three, why don’t you go up?"

The current three on stage were only at the Early Stage of Fifth-grade as Alchemists.

Their Cultivation was also at the Mystic Breakthrough First Layer.

"Me?" Du Youyou curled her lip, "I wouldn’t go. If I go up there, they’ll mock me and make fun of me again."

"Every year at the Breeze Pharmacist Banquet, I just eat and leave."

Xiao Yi nodded in understanding, keeping silent.

Time passed gradually.

After a good part of an hour, the three on stage had begun to enter the phase of forming the Elixir.

Du Youyou asked in confusion, "The three of them are almost done with their Alchemy, isn’t Young Master Xiao Yi going up?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Right now, the prize is just Sixth-grade materials, I can’t be bothered to take them; I’ll go when the reward is richer."

"Can’t be bothered to take them?" Du Youyou chuckled, "I remember Young Master Xiao Yi still owes me a consultation fee."

"He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who can afford to not care about sixth-grade materials."

"Um," Xiao Yi said with an awkward smile, "I will repay the consultation fee in full later."

"Haha," Du Youyou laughed, "I was just joking, Young Master Xiao Yi. Don’t take it seriously."

Before long, the three competitors on stage finished their alchemy.

Three round elixirs were emitting waves of Dan Fragrance.

Breeze City Lord glanced at the three elixirs and smiled. "All three elixirs have been successfully refined; however, Young Master Zhong’s elixir is of a good level."

"Therefore, the victor of this round is Young Master Zhong."

As Breeze City Lord spoke, he took out a pill recipe and said, "Next up is an initial stage fifth-grade pill recipe." freёnovelkiss.com

"Besides the young alchemy geniuses of the Hu family, Zhong Family, and Zhou Family, are there any other geniuses willing to enter the stage?"

Below, no one responded.

Breeze City Lord continued, "The reward for this round will be peak fifth-grade materials."

Below, several alchemy geniuses were eager to try, but after a long while, still no one stood up.

The three on stage were already among the best young alchemists in Breeze City.

And the initial stage fifth-grade pill recipe could only be successfully refined by alchemists who were at least at the initial stage of fifth-grade.

Naturally, at the other banquet tables, no other genius wanted to step up and risk embarrassment.

After waiting for a while and still receiving no response, Breeze City Lord could only announce the start of the alchemy.

The three competitors on stage started refining again.

After well over an hour, the three finally finished their alchemy.

However, among the three, two had their furnaces explode, with only Young Master Zhong managing to succeed.

And the one he refined was just at a passable level.

"The winner of this round is Young Master Zhong," Breeze City Lord declared.

Below, the banquet erupted in admiration.

"Amazing, Young Master Zhong is so young yet he’s already capable of refining fifth-grade pill recipes."

"His future accomplishments will surely be remarkable."

"He will likely become the leading alchemist of Breeze City."

"You flatter me too much, seniors," Young Master Zhong said, bowing modestly, but the smugness on his face made it clear he was extremely pleased with himself.

Breeze City Lord chuckled, "Next, we have a mid-stage fifth-grade pill recipe."

Immediately, the three competitors on stage furrowed their brows.

Even mid-stage fifth-grade alchemists would only have a certain chance of successfully refining a mid-stage fifth-grade pill recipe.

"Are the three geniuses willing to try refining?" Breeze City Lord asked.

All three shook their heads at the same time.

From the banquet seats below, guests laughed, "City Lord, I’m afraid this year’s Breeze Pharmacist Banquet will have to end here."

"The geniuses from the three families have already proven outstanding enough, and next year they will surely be even more formidable."

Breeze City Lord frowned slightly and said, "The reward for this round will be sixth-grade materials. If no one steps forward, this year’s Breeze Pharmacist Banquet will also come to an end."

"Sixth-grade materials?" Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up slightly.

"I will." Xiao Yi stood up and walked slowly onto the stage.

"And you are?" Breeze City Lord looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Which family’s young master are you? I don’t recall seeing you in Breeze City."

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded, "I am not from Breeze City. May I still participate in the Breeze Pharmacist Banquet?"

"As long as you’re an alchemist, you can participate," Breeze City Lord replied.

Xiao Yi nodded, walked to the table, and said, "Then I will refine this pill recipe."

"You?" Breeze City Lord frowned slightly.

Suddenly, from among the guests below, a surprised voice emerged.

"Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer cultivation? This kid hasn’t even reached the Mystic Breakthrough Realm."

"What?" There was a burst of exclamations among the guests.

"Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer? Doesn’t that mean he can’t even be considered a fifth-grade alchemist?"

"With such meager skills, he dares to come on stage and refine a mid-stage fifth-grade elixir? He’s overestimating himself."

In the midst of the crowd, there were already sounds of disdainful sneers.
