Golden light dazzled on the remnant recipe. Under Yuan Shu's continuous restoration, it slowly revealed its true appearance.
"This golden light... it's the light of a correct restoration!" A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
"This is... the long-lost Ancient Recipe Restoration Technique!" Someone sharp-eyed recognized the restoration method Yuan Shu was using.
Everyone present was an alchemist of some repute on Medicine Cloud Peak. Even the attending medicine boys had a solid understanding of the path of alchemy.
No one suspected Yuan Shu of faking it.
Because the golden light of a correct restoration and her method of controlling spiritual energy could not be faked!
"Heavens, the Ancient Recipe Restoration Technique! If this method of restoring remnant recipes spreads, we'll be able to restore even more ancient recipes!"
Everyone looked at Yuan Shu with incredibly fiery gazes, as if they were looking at a mountain of gold!
Threads of golden recipe patterns were restored as she continuously released spiritual energy, and the general outline of the recipe could already be seen.
Even Yao Qianci was shocked by the scene before him.
Did Yuan Shu actually possess such ability?
To restore ancient remnant recipes?
And three at once, no less?
Compared to the crowd's excitement, Mo Shoudan's expression in the crowd was extremely ugly.
He never expected that Yuan Shu could actually restore this ancient remnant recipe!
That recipe only had one corner left. How did she manage to piece it back together?
It was completely absurd!
Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to finish repairing the recipe, Mo Shoudan could no longer sit still.
If she really succeeded, would he actually have to hand over his Medicine Cloud Peak Elder Token?
Mo Shoudan gritted his teeth.
He had lived on Medicine Cloud Peak for many years and had long grown accustomed to his superior status and the disciples' worship.
Make him leave Medicine Cloud Peak?
Where could he go?
No, he couldn't let this Yuan Shu actually succeed!
Mo Shoudan gritted his teeth and suddenly shot a glance at the medicine boy behind him.
The medicine boy understood implicitly and quietly backed away to the nearby medicinal ingredients area.
He picked up a basin of medicinal scorpions, pretended to slip, and threw them all toward where Yuan Shu was!
Yuan Shu's brow twitched. Just as she was about to distract herself to block it, someone else acted first.
Gentle green spiritual energy rippled out like the wind, forming a transparent defensive shield around Yuan Shu and the recipes.
It blocked all the danger outside the shield.
Seeing this, the offending medicine boy's face changed drastically. He turned to run, but was casually grabbed by Yao Qianci's formidable power and thrown back into a corner of the Remnant Recipe Pavilion.
The medicine boy took the impact and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yao Qianci shot him a cold glance and said chillingly, "Take him down and deal with him according to the peak's rules!"
The crowd's expressions varied.
This medicine boy had just been following Mo Shoudan. It was obviously Mo Shoudan's order.
Was Elder Mo... panicking?
Mo Shoudan's expression did indeed change upon seeing this, and his hands inside his long sleeves suddenly clenched tight.
With the Peak Master present, he had no way to interfere with this Yuan Shu!
What should he do?
Just as Mo Shoudan was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, Yuan Shu had already finished restoring the first remnant recipe.
Clear Spirit Heart-Protecting Pill. The remnant recipe had a black background with golden patterns, and its spiritual energy fluctuations were obvious. It was clearly successfully restored.
Next was the second one, the Soaring Sky Barrier-Breaking Pill. Compared to the third one, it had a name and edge patterns, so restoring it was quite fast.
The most exaggerated was the third one, the Profound Dao Enlightenment Pill. Only one corner remained, showing the words "Profound."
The difficulty of this restoration was undoubtedly unprecedented.
Therefore, when Yuan Shu finished restoring it and felt the spiritual energy fluctuations on the recipe, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their heads.
"It was really successfully restored? Am I dreaming?"
"What dream? Such powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, it's definitely a pill of the sixth grade or higher. These fluctuations can't be wrong. It was actually successfully restored!"
"Guest Elder Yuan is amazing!"
As exclamations of amazement entered her ears, the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth curled into a smile. "You may inspect the pill recipes now."
A group of people gathered around to inspect the recipes. Unsurprisingly, all three remnant recipes were correct.
Hearing this news, Mo Shoudan's expression in the crowd instantly became incredibly ugly. He stumbled backward two steps, but Yuan Shu called out to stop him.
"Grandmaster Mo, where are you going?"
Following Yuan Shu's gaze, the crowd saw Mo Shoudan at the back, seemingly squeezing toward the door.
Yuan Shu walked over to the ugly-looking and embarrassed Mo Shoudan, curled her lips, and asked with a smile.
"Elder Mo wouldn't be... trying to go back on his word, would he?"
Mo Shoudan's old face was flushed red, whether from anger or fury.
Remembering the bet the two had just made, the crowd's gazes became subtle.
If Yuan Shu won this recipe restoration bet, Mo Shoudan would have to hand over his Elder Token.
Was he trying to renege and run away?
"Ahem, Grandmaster Mo is an alchemy grandmaster of Medicine Cloud Peak. If he doesn't keep his word, how will he establish himself on the peak in the future?"
"Right, right, Grandmaster Mo is not that kind of person!"
One after another, voices tinged with schadenfreude rang out from the crowd.
Yuan Shu turned her head and happened to see Elder Hai, who had just been scolded fiercely by Mo Shoudan.
Meeting Yuan Shu's gaze, Elder Hai smiled faintly and bowed to her gratefully.
It was because of Yuan Shu's intervention that the Clear Spirit Heart-Protecting Pill recipe was preserved and restored.
He was a man who loved remnant recipes.
Yuan Shu doing this undoubtedly made him remember it firmly in his heart.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu nodded slightly to him.
Mo Shoudan's face grew even uglier.
If he handed over the Elder Token, he would no longer be an elder of Medicine Cloud Peak. Who would listen to him in the future?
Mo Shoudan was unwilling to hand it over. Just as he was trying to think of a way to delay for time, Yao Qianci's slightly sighing voice drifted over.
"Elder Mo, since I acted as the witness for this bet, I can only ask you to hand over the Elder Token now."
"After all, if Guest Elder Yuan had lost, you would not hesitate to make her hand over her Guest Token!"
Yao Qianci's voice was gentle, but his tone carried an unquestionable authority.
Mo Shoudan's face turned pale. With the Peak Master personally speaking up, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't go back on his word!
"Ahem, hand it over, hand it over. Concede defeat if you lose a bet!"
"Exactly. Losing this Elder Token means he's no longer a Medicine Cloud Peak elder, but he's still an alchemist. No difference, no difference, hahaha."
Though the crowd said there was no difference, they couldn't hide the gloating in their eyes.
The hell there was no difference, the difference was huge!
A regular alchemist could only have one medicine boy by their side. When others saw him, they would only give a nod.
It couldn't compare to the position of an elder!
Furthermore, in matters requiring decisions, like today's restoration of remnant recipes, his opinion would no longer matter, let alone force others to follow his will!
Mo Shoudan's old face flushed red. He glared fiercely at everyone and could no longer bear to stay.
He threw down his Elder Token and stormed off with a flick of his sleeve.
He would remember this score today!
Yao Qianci retrieved the Elder Token, his gaze deepening slightly as he turned to look at Yuan Shu.
Relying on his seniority, this Mo Shoudan had frequently disobeyed his orders on Medicine Cloud Peak.
By doing this, Yuan Shu had actually removed a sharp thorn from his side!
"Does this mean that as long as these three ancient remnant recipes are successfully refined, I can enter the medicinal plant repository to select medicinal plants?"
