72 Alchemy Competition 8

I began by sorting the herbs and placing them into the cauldron one by one. This only served to bring even more attention to me. No one would do what I'm doing, because simply it was not the orthodox way of alchemy.

As most of the competitors would start with the essence extraction of one herb at a time, starting with the ones that would need the least heat, then up to the ones that would need the most heat to have their essences extracted. While I placed everything in my cauldron at the same time.

"The hell are you doing? That's a blasphemy against alchemy!" Du Ming said as he addressed me, hand pointing and face raised up while his eyes looked down one me as if he stood on a higher moral and social pedestal.

"Little kid, this is a test of one's alchemy, not how loud you shout nonsense otherwise, I'm afraid no one would be your rival," Take that double jab little bitch.
