The moment Elder Han announced the reward, a wave of excitement swept through the crowd.
"The reward for this round," Elder Han said, holding up a delicate jade scroll, "is an ancient alchemy recipe believed to have been lost for centuries."
Gasps echoed through the arena. Even the most powerful families in the alchemy world had long been searching for this recipe. It was said that mastering it could take an alchemist to an entirely new level.
Gu Jin stepped forward as the scroll was handed to her. Her expression was calm as she unfolded the scroll, her eyes scanning the ancient characters with practiced ease.
But after just a few seconds…
This recipe?
Gu Jin blinked and then resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
Seriously? This again?
The recipe was indeed ancient, but Gu Jin recognized it immediately.
I already have this.
She had obtained a complete and more refined version of this recipe years ago. It was practically useless to her now.
