Within the third Scroll, the Content within is a certain recipe for the (Basic-Grade Tempering Pill). This pill is graded into the most basic grade, but for those who are yet to become a master, to succeed in this kind of Pills are still hardly achievable.

"Worthy of being one of the Alliance's young concocting stars, this child actually could utilize his Yin-Yang Essence into this level of proficiency."
"Elder Wen, this child's Name ?", The Elder Tung-Loong from Dragon's Gate Escort Agency started to make an inquiry.
"Altima. Elder Tung-Loong is interested in him as well ?", Elder Wen quickly replied, based on the elder's speaking tone, its seem that both of them are good friends since young.
"Master Kong Rong, What do you think ?", Elder Kan immediately asks for Patriarch Kong Rong on his opinion regarding this young child.
"Interesting! Kan, Chang, Wen, if the time permits it, you must allow this kid to come over to our Sacred Sword Mountain for a visit, he will have a great eye opener when he came in, maybe he won't want to leave the mountain afterward!", Patriarch Kong Rong speaks happily.
"It seems like the 5 Guest of honor is having a very good impression on this young child!", Holy Child Florencia started to pay attention towards Altima as well.
Ignoring all the speaking and cheering amongst the crowd, Altima continues with his Medicine Concocting without a moment of hesitation and mistakes. Very quickly, the 100 units of Basic-Grade Tempering Pill is ready for the guest to inspect and place at their side for them to bring back after the first day of competition is over. As the Sponsors for this competition, many powerhouses is competing with each other to grab the best talent under their wings, so they could support the stability of their own power.
In return for their sponsors, the successfully concocted medicinal pill naturally belongs to the powerhouse equally.

Very quickly, Altima manages to complete a total of 500 units of 5 different medicine pills in a total of 4 hours, where only 1/3 of the participants manage to achieve. But not giving up his chance to obtain much more knowledge, instead of stopping on the 5th scroll, Altima continued with his 6th to 9th scrolls, which came out with some easy (Low-Grade Ointment), (Starvation Recovery Pellet), (Beatification Pellet), and (Vigour Enhancing Pill).
With a few random health and cosmetic usage pills, Altima finally ready to withdraw the last scroll from the Shelf, before he was stopped by Elder Tung-Loong and Elder Wen.
"Youngster! Stop!", Elder Tung-Loong immediately has Altima stopped from his action.
"Young Altima, are you sure about this last scroll ?",Elder Wen asked.
"Yes both honored Elder, I've decided to completely finish concocting all 10 scrolls of medicine before the first day is over."
"Fine, then go along with it.", Elder Wen replied, and lead Elder Tung-Loong away from the stage.
Withdrawing the scroll, Altima is shocked with the content written in this scroll.
"This is the (Water Dragon Cannon). A most basic but hardly anyone knows the recipe kind of Battle Medicine."
Unexpectedly, the Dragon's Gate Escort Agency actually insert one of the agency's personal recipe into this first day of the match to test the capability of the participants, where only 120 of them is still standing on the stage trying to finish concocting all 10 scrolls of medicine given.
With no guide, experience, and samples to choose to pay attention to, all the practitioner on the 10th scroll started to give up in their test, and return to their seats due to the primary qualification to pass is successfully obtained. Altima, who reading the recipe, is cheating slightly by utilizing Mobi to scan for the initial information and how this Battle Medicine is made, shaped and prepared to use.
Although Altima cheated a little, but this doesn't mean the battle medicine will be easily concocted. Plenty of effort and imagination should be still place within during concoction, so the shape and effect will be increased into the best condition. After a total of 15 minutes of pondering in his mind, Altima finally decided on how he will start with this concoction.
"May this young practitioner ask Elder Tung-Loong a question ?", Altima walked towards the direction where the elders are seated and quickly initiate a request.
"It's an honor to answer a young and energetic prodigy on his questions.", Elder replied.
"If the Dragon's Gate members are going to utilize this (Water Dragon Cannon), what will be the reason for it to be used ?", Asked Altima.
"(Water Dragon Cannon), this weapon is created to protect, which originally came from our Second Patriarch Sui-Loong creations. When he created this battle potion, it was during the moment when Blue God Continent is still not divided into 4 plains like now. During that time, our ancestor brings a number of this holy Water cannon, and venture around the northern, and later eastern and until southern, he finally stopped, and end up with building the Agency within this place in Freezing Southern called the Frozen Dragon's Gate.", The elder finished his word and slowly seated while reminiscing the previous incident as heard from his parents and grandparents.
"Thank you, Elder, Altima will return to create this Battle Potion once again, to regain the legend of the Second Patriarch Sui Loong!", Altima continued before he left for his concocting again.
