Chapter 278 The Alchemy Competition Begins!
"Master! Isn't my alchemy furnace awesome? It's worthy of your status!"
Xiao Lang proudly showed off the alchemy furnace, saying, "You'll use this furnace later to show us your skills! Let me tell you, it took me a lot of effort to get this furnace here!"
Si Tu couldn't stand it anymore. "Young Master Xiao, this alchemy furnace was custom-made for Miss Chu Miao by a top craftsman hired by my master."
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Xiao Lang prepared this for Chu Miao!
Xiao Lang chuckled: "What Second Brother prepared and what I prepared are exactly the same! The most important thing is the sentiment!"
Chu Miao looked at the alchemy furnace. The quality and workmanship were indeed very good. The furnace had dark and majestic totems on it, making it look very solemn.
It's quite remarkable that such an alchemy furnace still exists in the 21st century.
Yuan Aruo stared intently at the alchemy furnace, her face contorted with jealousy!
She and Si Yelin grew up together, childhood sweethearts. Si Yelin knew she was an alchemist, but he never gave her an alchemy furnace. Now he gave Chu Miao such a fine alchemy furnace. This is a slap in her face!
"I prepared this for you beforehand. Do you like it?" Si Yelin looked at Chu Miao, his eyes calm and gentle. His sharp features became approachable in Chu Miao's presence. "If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can ask a craftsman to modify it."
"No need, this is fine." Chu Miao smiled. Although it was much worse than when she was in the Great Chu Kingdom, it was still not bad.
It's clear that Si Yelin put a lot of effort into preparing such an alchemy furnace, which would take at least one or two months.
“So Ah Lin had already prepared an alchemy furnace for Miss Chu. No wonder Miss Chu looked down on my alchemy furnace.” Yuan Aruo’s lips curled up and she said self-deprecatingly, “Miss Chu should have known that Ah Lin had prepared an alchemy furnace for you. So when you said you would use a big pot to refine pills, it was just a joke. I actually thought that Miss Chu could use a big pot to refine pills.”
The senior executives frowned, somewhat disliking Chu Miao.
They felt that Chu Miao was being hypocritical, having already known that their master had prepared an alchemy furnace for her. Yet, she had just boasted that she could use the large cauldron to refine pills.
They said, "Who in this world can refine elixirs using a large cauldron?"
She clearly knew that her master had prepared an alchemy furnace for her, but she deliberately said that, only exaggerating it.
“I won’t use this alchemy furnace, I’ll use the big cauldron. Since I, Chu Miao, just said that I can beat you with the big cauldron, I don’t need the alchemy furnace. If I can beat you with just the big cauldron, why would I need to use this alchemy furnace?”
Chu Miao casually said, "Boss Si, I'll keep your alchemy furnace for now and use it next time I'm refining pills. I won't use it this time."
Winning one Yuan Aruo from her, and a big pot is enough!
“Okay.” Si Yelin nodded, a glimmer of light appearing in his deep eyes.
Yuan Aruo laughed in exasperation. Did Chu Miaozhen think she was some kind of genius alchemist? She thought she could beat her with just a big pot!
OK!
Then she'll just wait and see how she wins against her with a big pot!
The competition officially began. Chu Miao and Yuan Aruo stood on either side. In front of Yuan Aruo was an exquisite and grand alchemy furnace, while in front of Chu Miao was... a large, black cauldron.
It's the kind of big wok you use for stir-frying!
The pot is so big it could fit several people's heads inside!
Chu Miao was holding a spatula and wearing an apron, as if she was about to start cooking at any moment!
