Chapter 382: Beast of Catastrophe

Translator: 549690339

At the beginning of the competition, a virtual big screen suddenly appeared in front of the Pharmacy Square.

“Complete the Class III S tier elixir [Golden Marrow Elixir] within half an hour, the contestants with elixir quality above average can enter the second round. The elixir formula for the Golden Marrow Elixir is as follows: Azuresilver Herb, Gold-Condensing Bone,…”

Looking at the densely packed list of medicinal ingredients spinning quickly on the screen, David Jones hurriedly used his Illusion-Piercing Eye to memorize them.

“As expected of the Youth Pharmacy Conference, the competition is indeed brutal. The first round is meant to eliminate all pharmacists below Flare IV Alchemist!”

After browsing the elixir formula, David sighed slightly in his heart.

There were only three sets of medicinal ingredients beside the Alchemy Furnace, meaning that each contestant only had three chances to fail. Adding the half-hour time limit, this Alchemy competition was indeed hellishly difficult.

David knew his current level of alchemy wasn’t enough to successfully refine the Golden Marrow Elixir upon receiving the formula for the first time.

He would need at least one failure.

Unless someone allowed him to use his Illusion-Piercing Eye to fully copy the refining process.

Thinking of this, David glanced at Helen Cloud beside him. This talented junior sister seemed like a perfect candidate for this purpose.

Seeing David look at her, Helen smiled slightly, the Star Ring on her finger flashed a faint light, and a black dog with red flames around its ears and tail with white eyes and no black pupils suddenly appeared.

[Pet Name]: Disaster Hound

[Pet Type]: Fire, Earth

[Species Level]: King

[Grade]: Class IV lower-level

[Species Skill]: Calamity Flame, Earthquake Inducing, Disaster Prediction, Earth Shattering Flame Strike

[Pet Profile]: A fire Beast from the ancient times, known as the harbinger of disaster by the people. It is not only capable of devouring and spitting flames but also can predict the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in advance.

“Beast that detects natural disasters? Interesting!”

David looked at the majestic Disaster Hound with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

“Please pay attention, those who haven’t yet completed the elixir before the time limit will be deemed as failed, the competition starts now!”

With the President of the Pharmacist Guild, Hudson Harvey’s voice falling, the square was suddenly flooded with hundreds of dazzling Trainer Rune Circles, and thousands of various Fire pets appeared in front of the Alchemy Furnaces in an instant.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Not long after the Pharmacy Conference began, several pharmacists failed in elixir condensing due to excessive nervousness.

Ignoring the underperforming pharmacists, David focused his attention on Helen Cloud’s alchemy process.

He saw Helen gently waving her hand, and the Disaster Hound by her side skillfully spat out black flames that could melt gold and dissolve stones.

Then, various elixir ingredients beside her fell into the elixir furnace one by one under the control of the overwhelming Psychic Power.

As David watched Helen’s alchemy process, he couldn’t help but nod slightly in praise.

Soon, David, who was standing still and not doing alchemy in the Pharmacy Square, caught the attention of many spectators.

“What is thisguy doing? Why hasn’t he started alchemy yet?” a curious audience member asked.

“Maybe he doesn’t know how to do alchemy, so he can only stand there blankly?”

“Impossible, at least a Flare I Alchemist is required to participate in the Youth Pharmacy Conference! How could he not know how to do alchemy at all!” “But it has been ten minutes, and he is still standing there without moving. Is he going to give up?”

“Yeah, I think this contestant looks more like an audience member than me!” Glancing at the sky, David Jones’s mind moved, using Psychic Power to ignore the discussions above the square. His Illusion-Piercing Eye carefully observed the drug fusion reaction inside Helen’s elixir furnace.

“So that’s how it is. The refinement and condensation of Azuresilver Herb and Gold-Condensing Bone not only needs to be done in stages, but also needs to be mutually extracted with Fireflow Herb to form the Golden Marrow!”

A gleam flashed in David’s eyes, and he was extremely confident about refining the Golden Marrow Elixir.

So, when Helen finished refining the Golden Marrow Elixir and looked up, she saw a satisfied smile on David’s face.

Helen: “???”

“Senior Brother, haven’t you started refining the elixir yet?” Helen looked at the Alchemy Furnace in front of David with no signs of heat and said in surprise.

“It’s just a Golden Marrow Elixir, I can refine it within five minutes!” David said nonchalantly.

“Five minutes?”

Helen was stunned. Even if she had previous experience in refining the Golden Marrow Elixir, it took her about twelve minutes to complete the process. How could it be done in five minutes?

David glanced at the time displayed on the big screen, and there were still eighteen minutes left before the end of the competition.

He had no intention of summoning Daphne; he activated the Afterglow Array, and a golden-red flame flowed from his palm into the Alchemy Furnace to start nurturing.

“I’d like to see how you can refine a Golden Marrow Elixir in five minutes!”

Helen stared at David unbelievingly.

She admitted that she could not compete with David Jones in Trainer Battles, but in the field of Alchemy, which was her strong suit, she did not think she would be inferior to David!

With one movement of David’s intention, dozens of doses of elixirs immediately rushed into the elixir cauldron under his control.

“Without summoning a pet, he dares to smelt thirty-five doses of mesona all at once!” Helen’s face showed a trace of disbelief.

It should be noted that under the Beast Fire Control of the Afterglow Array, pets could share nearly one-third of the pharmacist’s work, thus greatly accelerating the speed at which a pharmacist extracts the essence of elixirs.

If it were her in a situation where she didn’t summon a pet, she could only smelt a maximum of ten elixirs at a time, and it would even take twenty minutes to refine a furnace of Golden Marrow Elixir!

“Such a daring high-level artist! Dude, this is the first time I’ve seen such a confident pharmacist!” On the other side, Benjamin Brightbridge, who had also completed his task, looked blankly at David.

Even though he was a ClassV Alchemist, he did not dare to show off this kind of

skill in a Pharmacy Conference because the risk was too high!

“He finally started refining elixirs!”

In the audience seating, Margaret Yule, who had a limited understanding of

Alchemy, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew that David’s alchemy level would definitely not fall at the second round!

“Grandmaster Hoyle really received a good disciple!” Hudson Harvey, the president of the Alchemist Guild in Rosewood City, praised Lilith Hoyle.

He couldn’t reach such a profound level when he was nineteen!

“Young people like to show off. They still need to settle down more!” Lilith shook her head slightly.

Wen Yan smiled.

Isn’t that what being young is about?

If his useless disciple had even two-thirds of David’s talent, he might have performed even crazier in this Pharmacy Conference!
