Chapter 1983
To avoid accidents, the competition was held on an empty field.
Moreover, to ensure the fairness of the competition, both Matthew and Zayn had to prepare their elixir on the
spot.
After the scene was set, both parties got ready.
The targets for the drug experiment were two mice placed in a cage.
Baltazar took on the role of the referee, and Matthew didn't intend to show all he'd got.
Even though he had nothing to lose if he lost the competition and could even gain the meridian-nourishing plant
if he won, he made Salazar record the entire process to prevent his rival from cheating. After all, whoever came
to challenge his medical skills had a death wish!
"Let's start!" When Baltazar's words fell, Matthew and Zayn started moving almost at the stime.
Looking at the purchased medicinal materials that were neatly placed in front of him, Zayn skilfully picked out all
the herbs he needed.
Heart-stopper flower, lotus root, angelica, the root of Longstem Hawksbeard, as well as other familiar and
unknown herbs were placed into the medicine jar one after another.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile pounding the herbs, he did not forget to observe Matthew's progress.
All he saw was Matthew slowly picking out his herbs.
With a mocking smirk, Zayn secretly expressed his disdain for his opponent.
From choosing the herbs alone, Zayn could tell that even a third-tier chemist from Emsgate worked faster than
Matthew.
"Cathians are merely talkers. They only know how to brag with their mouth, but in reality, their skills lack far
behind." While muttering to himself, Zayn sped up the motion of pounding his herbs. Baltazar nodded repeatedly
beside him, watching his disciple's actions.
The combination of the herbs Zayn picked out was reasonable.
Moreover, under the mutual influence of the properties of the ingredients, the toxicity of the heart-stopper
pampas could be maximized.
Not bad. Seems that my beloved apprentice managed to improve himself in poison-making over this period of
time.
His notoriety as Emsgate's youngest genius did not ceasily.
Ten minutes later, Zayn completed his concoction.
He was now holding a small bottle of lilac-colored liquid.
Under the sun, it reflected a charming glow, but of course, it was more hazardous than one could imagine.
Due to that, he wore a thick pair of sealed gloves to prevent getting in contact with the elixir.
Meanwhile, Matthew was still picking out his herbs slowly.
He picked the notoginseng, angelica, hasma, dendrobium, and many more.
In short, he was just throwing all types of tonics into the jar.
Salazar, who was watching from the side, started getting anxious.
Bruh, we're competing to make poison, not to refine the perfect tonic!
Despite his lack of medical knowledge, Salazar could tell from the names of the various medicinal materials on
the medicine box that Matthew seemed to have misunderstood the entire concept of the competition.
When he glanced at Zayn's elixir, he could already sense the dangerous aura it emitted even from a distance.
From the aspect of concoction, the opponent was firmly ahead of Matthew by a large margin.
Was Matthew really going to lose in just the first match?
Considering the current situation when rumors about Matthew were spreading like wildfire in Stonedale and
Eastshire, Salazar reckoned that Matthew's losing would only be adding fuel to fire.
He couldn't fathom Matthew's intentions at all!
After another ten minutes or so, Matthew finally completed his concoction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSalazar couldn't help sniffing, trying to take in the smell.
He shuddered after smelling it and wondered what on earth it was.
Could it really be the perfect tonic?
Standing opposite them, Baltazar and Zayn exchanged glances with each other, their eyes filled with triumph.
They watched the entire refining process Matthew carried out.
Among the sixteen herbs and fifteen tonics, the only poisonous ingredient he used was a seven-step vine.
Although the seven-step vine was toxic, it couldn't compare to the heart-stopper elixir Zayn had made.
Under the dilution effect of the other fifteen tonics, both Baltazar and Zayn could already foresee the outcof
the competition.
"Now that you have both completed your concoctions, you may test the elixir now." While saying that, Baltazar
presented a look of triumph.
