Upon hearing Yu Xinghuo's cold and mocking snort, the crowd, immersed in the shocking reality that Shen Qiang could use a furnace tripod that countless super powerful individuals couldn't use for hundreds of years, suddenly snapped back to reality.

Not only did the pure and utterly beautiful Qian Dai once again clench her jade fists tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tension, but everyone in the great hall involuntarily drew a cold breath.

Especially Cheng Xinyi, the chief appraiser sitting in the judges' seat.

As a member of the Bai Family, it was impossible for him to hope for Shen Qiang's victory. Earlier, Yu Xinghuo had showcased his identity, the furnace tripod, his consummate skills, and the astonishing Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill, making Cheng Xinyi believe that Shen Qiang had no chance of winning, not even half a chance, and would definitely lose. Therefore, he had no expectations for Shen Qiang's performance.

But just now!

When he personally witnessed the fiery flame rekindling in the furnace tripod, which countless Elixir Masters had handled but failed to control for several hundred years, his heart shook violently, and he faintly sensed that Shen Qiang was not a simple character.

This inexplicably sparked a flicker of hope in his heart, though hearing Yu Xinghuo's words now, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"There's no way around it; Yu Xinghuo's Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill is a legendary Combat Pill in the Cultivation World, with the recipe being a closely guarded secret. Refining the same pill in such a short time seems impossible. Now we can only see if Shen Qiang can produce a similar pill. As long as he can make something passably comparable, I'd dare to say he won, even against my conscience."

Meanwhile, two of the four young Dan painters on the judges' table exchanged a glance, and a cold smile appeared on their lips.

"Yu Xinghuo is right. The rule of Dan Fighting is that Shen Qiang accepts the challenge from any alchemist with any elixir pill. This means that if Shen Qiang cannot refine the Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill, he loses, even with a Divine Artifact." The thin one smiled slyly.

The fat one then laughed heartily, "This Combat Pill is no joke. Trying to pass off something else just won't work. Shen Qiang, no matter how eloquent you get, if you can't produce the Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill, I'll hold you to your promise to never refine again."

Listening to them, Yu Xinghuo became increasingly pleased.

At this moment, not only the online streaming room but also various anxious, disappointed, and mocking messages exploded. The beautiful Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sighed with her Liu Mei furrowed, "If it were merely each to refine a pill and compare, Shen Qiang's ability to wield the Immortal Artifact Furnace would make him the definite winner, but even we at Medicine King Valley don't have the Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill's recipe."

"So even though he has all the skills, Shen Qiang is destined to lose."

The curvaceous young girl hearing this angrily exclaimed, "This competition is so unfair to Shen Qiang. Yu Xinghuo is simply too much!"

The beautiful Young Valley Master sighed gently, "You can't blame Yu Xinghuo. Shen Qiang insisted on boasting, and now he has to reap what he sowed because no one in the world can know every elixir, not even a god."

At this moment, in the great hall, under the nervous gazes of the women, Shen Qiang gave a slight smile and said calmly, "A mere fake Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill, do you really think it can stump me?"

As soon as Shen Qiang's words exited his mouth.

Everyone was taken aback.

"A fake Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill?"

"What does it mean?"

"Is Shen Qiang suggesting his is the real Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill?"

While everyone was puzzled.

Yu Xinghuo said angrily in a cold voice, "Shen Qiang, it seems like you're trying to cheat, but under everyone's watchful eyes, I advise you not to do so. Whether my Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill is real or fake doesn't matter. What matters is that if you can't refine the same elixir, you've lost."

Shen Qiang laughed at these words.

His eyes glanced again at Yu Xinghuo's Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill.

Boom!

Under careful observation, Shen Qiang's eyes suddenly felt a stinging sensation, and suddenly a warm current surged into his eyes. In a split second, the refined Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill seemed to disassemble itself in front of Shen Qiang.

All kinds of materials, compositions, ratios, even minute flaws, appeared vividly before Shen Qiang's eyes.

In that instant, Shen Qiang was sure he could not only refine this pill but also replicate it flawlessly.

This filled Shen Qiang with ecstasy.

Because this meant that the Observation Skill had quietly upgraded along with his cultivation. Before, even if Shen Qiang could discern what pill the opponent had refined, he couldn't directly observe all the details as if it had been decomposed!

"Without knowing the recipe, no matter how you refine, you can't beat me. So why Shen Qiang, waste five or six hours and everyone's time? Just admit defeat, wouldn't that be better?" Yu Xinghuo jeered mockingly.

As he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye to see Qian Dai, noticing her nervousness immediately upon hearing his words. Her previously fair and snow-like fists were flushed red, and her gaze toward Shen Qiang was filled with concern.

"Serves you right! For thinking Shen Qiang is better than me, I'll humiliate him, and there's nothing you can do but worry!"

Yu Xinghuo thought happily.

Almost simultaneously, Shen Qiang smiled calmly and said, "Alright, since you think I don't have the recipe, let me tell you the ingredients for your pill."

With that, Shen Qiang waved his hand and took the materials already prepared by Bai Jiao.

"Two liang of Heavenly Star Fragrance, three qian of Blue Gravel, four liang of Jade Lotus Essence, six ke of Ye Xiang Powder, one qian of Four Elements Jade Dew..." Shen Qiang spoke calmly while grabbing the materials.

While everyone looked on doubtfully, in surprise they saw that Yu Xinghuo, who was previously proud, now had a pale face and was looking at Shen Qiang with terrified eyes.

"Stop, don't say another word! Shen Qiang, keep quiet!" Simultaneously as everyone was surprised, Yu Xinghuo, realizing that Shen Qiang indeed knew the recipe, desperately shouted, "Shen Qiang, there are rules in every field, elixir recipes cannot be spread. You mustn't say more."

Hearing this, the judges attending and the viewers in the live stream room all widened their eyes almost instantaneously.

"It's true! The recipe Shen Qiang is reciting is real! Otherwise, Yu Xinghuo wouldn't be talking about field rules!"

"Damn, hurry and grab a pen to jot this down. This is a Combat Pill's recipe, remember it all, it's surely worth billions!"

"Amazing, watching a live stream and obtaining a pill recipe, it's literally like manna from heaven!"

Just as the crowd's eyes were frenzied, thinking they could get the complete recipe.

Shen Qiang laughed, saying calmly, "Oh? Field rules? Well then, beg me."

Hearing this, everyone was astonished.

But at this moment, they were staggered to see a pale-faced Yu Xinghuo grit his teeth and say, "Shen Qiang, I beg you, don't say any more. Let's refine, and have a proper Dan Fighting. Win or lose, we'll discuss, but the ancestral rules cannot be broken!"
