The Darby family informed her that Darryl had attacked her brother and sister, which was why he was removed from the family.
Such an evil man had appeared at the competition as an assistant?
That was such a disgrace to the Elixir Competition!
Abbess Mother Serendipity grabbed her hands tightly; she wanted to kill Darryl.
She was the Emei family's elder; she had always been fair and brave! She could not stand an evil man like Darryl.
The competition was about to begin. If she were to kill him, they would not be able to proceed with the competition.
She tried her best to hold her anger back, but her eyes were filled with disgust when she looked at Darryl.
"Great! Contestants, please step in front of your cauldron." the host said.
Darryl trailed behind Isabela as they walked toward cauldron number 13. The rest of the contestants went to their spots too.
The staff carried the materials for the elixir production and put them in front of the respective contestants.
"Contestants." the host said "There are more than 100 types of materials in front of you. You may decide the type of elixir you want to produce and choose your ingredients for that. Also, two points to note. Firstly, the duration of the competition is one hour only. Those who failed to produce an elixir within this one hour will be disqualified."
"Secondly, the contestant with the rarest elixir will be chosen as the winner. There is a special bonus for the first prize winner, and the first and second runner-up will have the chance to study a manuel. So, please appreciate the chance that you have been given. The judges will decide the winners. As long as you can produce a rare elixir, the judge would award you with something."
Then the host shouted "Great! Let's begin!" everyone cheered.
All the contestants started their work; they selected their ingredients and started a fire. Everything was done in order.
Isabela was very confident. She instructed Darryl "Please get me the ingredients; 5 grams of pearl powder, 2 grams of silver and golden flowers..."
Isabela lighted the cauldron and dropped the ingredients into the pot.
Darryl observed her as he stood at the side. He waited for Isabela to finish the ingredients and sealed the pot. Then he said "Miss Isabela, are you producing the Energy Enhancer Pill?"
The Energy Enhancer Pill was used to improve the energy in one's body. However, it would only work on cultivators who are still within the Martial Marquis Level. Once consumed, their Martial Marquis Level would increase by one level. However, each person could only take it once in a lifetime.
Isabela was surprised "You know about the Energy Enhancer Pill?"
That pill was the highest-level of elixir that she could produce. Typically, the elixir could only be made by an Elixir Master. She did not expect Darryl would be able to identify it so quickly.
Darryl smiled. "I have seen it done by an Elixir Master; hence I have some knowledge about it."
Darryl had already known about it when Isabela instructed him to gather the ingredients. In the Infinite Elixir Manual, the Energy Enhancer Pill was only a medium-level elixor. It was still good if they were able to produce it.
Isabela nodded, but she did not say another word. She kept her concentration on the cauldron.
If she could produce the Energy Enhancer Pill, she would positively win one of the top three prizes. She would succeed!
All the crowd paid attention to the stage. A young man in a white shirt was the one who attracted the most attention. He was in his twenties, and he was from the Shaolin family. His name was Chuck Deed.
Chuck grabbed about four to five types of raw materials before he placed them into the cauldron.
Darryl shivered when he saw Chuck's ingredients. It looked like he wanted to make the Soul Solution Pill.
Soul Solution Pill was a very rare elixir. it seemed like some great talents had joined the competition!
Darryl nodded his head just as he detected a burnt smell. He was stunned when he saw the pot. He immediately said "Miss Isabela, the pot is too hot, we need water to cool it down!"
Elixir cauldrons made of copper would reduce the elixir's production time. However, they would also overheat pretty quickly. it was very difficult to manage that.
It was apparent that Isabela still lacked that skill. Isabela smiled. "Don't worry, Darryl. You still don't have much knowledge about elixir production. I have produced this Energy Enhancer Pill many times; there won't be any problem."
"Miss Isabela, please listen to me. You need to reduce the heat with water." Darryl repeated.
How could he let that continue? Elixir production would not be successful at such high temperatures.
Isabela smiled agian. "It's fine, Darryl. There is still plenty for you to learn about this. I'm your teacher, and I have done this for many years. Don't worry."
