Chapter 45: You call that Alchemy?

Luo Huifen had a pale skin, black hair, a slender body with a full bosom and bottom, appearing to be in her late teens. Wearing traditional Chinese clothes from the Han dynasty. She was the sect leader of the Immortal Cauldron Sect.

Her skill with Alchemy was second to none, she was lauded as the greatest alchemy genius that ever lived in the Archeon Empire. Her beauty had also made her even more famous. Even the sect leaders of the Burning Flame sect, and the Blazing Phoenix sect have tried to woo her, but to no avail.

Huifen had no interest in anyone, her only interest lay in Alchemy. She believed that the secrets of Alchemy can reveal to her the truth of the world. Yet there were a lot of fools coming to bother her, in her quest to find the truth. So to get something out of the fools, as well as stopping them from continuing courting her, she gave her suitors a test before they could court her. The test was besting her in Alchemy.

The whole Empire knew of her talent in Alchemy, so she thought that this would lessen those overly enthusiastic suitors... She was wrong, those suitors still kept on coming. They would hire some master Alchemists to train them, or they would let those master Alchemists actually represent them.

Of course in every challenge Huifen would win, but she was disappointed in the level of people challenging her. She thought if she made this contest, she might be able to learn more, but her opponents were of a lower class than her, that she couldn't learn anything new from them.

So not only did this contest not lessen her suitors, but it actually increased them. The master Alchemists that challenged her, who were representing other people actually fell in love with her after losing to her. They claimed that watching Huifeng synthesizing materials was the most beautiful site they have ever seen.

The master Alchemists used their newfound love as a means to improve their alchemy. The current Immortal Cauldron sect is at its most abundant time, in all its history. Everyday their are new master level alchemist who can concoct Rank6 pills. In the past before Huifeng took the role of sect leader the Immortal Cauldron sect had problems due to its insufficient number of Elders that could synthesize Rank4 and above, but now their having problems with too much applicants.

The greatest suitors of Huifeng were what she calls the muscle idiot, and the hammer idiot. The muscle idiot referred to the sect leader of the Blazing Phoenix sect, while the hammer idiot was the sect leader of the Burning Flame sect. Those two never listened to her, and always started squabbling when they meet. The two denied the alchemy challenge, and think that the only reason Huifeng made the challenge was to weed out the losers, believing that they were not part of the loser team they never did the Alchemy challenge.

The two sect leaders instead of doing the challenge showered her with weapons, and fighting manuals that were treasures of their respective sects. Of course Huifeng rejected their gifts, but they kept on insisting, and even hinted indirectly that if Huifeng were to deny their gifts they would go to war with the Immortal Cauldron sect. With such conditions Huifeng reluctantly agreed to keep their gifts, even though her sect could fight both the Blazing Phoenix sect, and the Burning Flame sect at the same time, she still caved in to their threats simply because, if there was a war her research time would be withheld until the war was finished.

To Huifeng her time researching the secrets of Alchemy was the most important. She hoped to one day rid herself of these lust crazed monkeys, like the one in front of her.

Just like any other day, Huifeng received a new challenger.

"Lady Huifeng, before we begin I just want to say that you are the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. Once I win, I would use all my resources to make our wedding the most grand event in the whole Empire." The frivolous guy in front of her spouted.

Huifeng sighed, "Whatever, let's just start, so we could finish quickly. I was in the middle of my research on a potion that could instantly heal any grievous wound, it could even heal one on the verge of death." Huifeng said the first part of her statement with impatience, while the second was said with a weird passion.

The frivolous guy was startled before smiling, "Fine then milady, let's begin."

The two competitors stood at their respective Cauldrons, and started using their alchemic fire. The alchemic fire was the basic technique the Alchemist uses to control the heat of the cauldron, while mixing materials.

When the frivolous guy saw Huifeng's blue alchmemic fire, he concentrated even harder. That blue flame represent the highest quality alchemic fire, even if Huifeng had little talent, with that flame she could still easily make a rank4 synthesized object.

The frivolous man started his own synthesis of alchemic materials, but once again was distracted by Huifeng's beautiful actions as she controlled her alchemic flame, while mixing. The frivolous man started imagining what he would do after he wins, and quickly went back to his own work while smiling lecherously.

A few hours passed, when both had a finished product. Huifeng didn't even bother looking at what the man made, and showed her work to the people watching, when her opponent saw Huifeng's finished work he felt like a deflated balloon.

Though he and Huifeng made the same kind of pill that were both of the same rank, the quality of her pill was obviously of an extremely purer and higher quality. He didn't even need to hear the judges decision, he knew he already lost.

Huifeng on the other hand also didn't bother to hear the result, as she wanted to head back to her laboratory to continue her research, but as she started walking out of the venue she heard an unfamiliar voice.

"You call that Alchemy? Such a waste of materials."

Everyone who heard that statement was either shocked, angered, or looked at the one who said those words with ridicule. Huifeng then turned around, and found the person who said such an arrogant statement, it was a young man with spiky hair, wearing a red jacket, and had two different colored eyes.

He was accompanied by a lovable looking little girl, as well as what looked like a cute girl but on close inspection was actually a boy.

Huifeng looked at the newcomer with indifference, but deep down she was very irritated. Her beloved Alchemy was actually questioned.

"What did you just say?" Huifeng asked curtly.

"Huh are you deaf? I said do you actually think what you did was Alchemy? It looked like you were simply cooking to me. Such a waste of valuable materials." The spiky haired youth said with a bit of ridicule in his voice, as well as pity.
