"Thank you and good day for you, ladies and gentleman from all over the Southern State.", Florencia Slinger started her speech first.
"Even myself couldn’t wait to announce today's First seat, but before the 3rd day of Concocting competition started, shall we present the judges for today ?", Thanos Windsor continued.
"Today, we are greatly surprised by his highness, Royal Prince Yang Wu Di to be one of our present judges as well as special guest, Along with his First Aide and trusted Military commander, Great General of Wu Di Family, Sir Guinness Quin."
"Recently, there has been a havoc from the capital city, where they are currently celebrating the great news of his highness recent advancement, where our Royal Prince is current on the 7th Stage of King Practitioner of Zen, Standing side by side along with Sir Guinness himself."
"And for the last Judge and guest, we are proud to manage to invite our Master concocting from the South, current Patriarch of the World of Concocting Alliance, our proud old master Grand Elder Shennong Shiwu to give each other greetings!"
"Ahh… Greatly.. Happy.. To see all of you here to.. Witness our next. Best Concocting Master."
"To. The six of you.. Do your best.. And make us the southern proud."
"You May.. Start now.", Stuttered and having difficulties in his speech, Grand Elder Shennong Shiwu seems to bear the appearance of a more than 500 years old man feature, with a short walking stick which made with a shining and brilliant Jade.
It had been said that during the establishment of Wu Di Royal Family, Grand Elder Shennong had contributed almost all of his life to helping to bring where the Wu Di family is now. From the moment he found the recipe for the concoction of Balancing Zen Pill, Grand Elder had been contributing towards the Lan Shen Continent since then.
For today Task, each participant is required to withdraw a scroll from the centre Recipe Shelf, which had been protected since the first day until now by the Grand Elder himself. Taking their turn, finally, Altima turn arrived, where he immediately select one scroll placed on the lowest part of the shelf, before he returns to his respective Concocting Station.
Unveiling the content within the scroll, Altima finally has his first-time experience viewing a Medicinal Recipe with the Tier above Master Practitioner Grade.
Small Spiritual Reviving Salve - Low-Grade Spiritual Tier Life Preserving Medicine
Ingredient: (10) Blood of Medicinal Basilisk / (2) Extreme Yin Extract & Extreme Yang Extract / (1) Petals of Spirit Devouring Tree / (1) Parasitic Moss from Medicinal Skeleton King / (1) Flower of Spiritual Cactus
Effect: One of the lowest Spiritual Tier Medicine for life preserving. This medicine usually came in the form of Edible or Applicable Salve, easy to carry as well as can be stacked into a large quantity for easier access.
Success Rate: 15% if Concocted by 7th Stage Concocting Practitioner, Increased by 5% each stage.
"It’s a Spiritual Recipe, Altima actually draw a through Recipe for his test for today!"
"Could he outmatch the expectation and the obstacle of rank, and create some miracles as we seen two days ago, or will he be failed to create any product this time ?"
With the appearance of this Spiritual Recipe, although the shock of having the opportunity view the process of a Concocting of Spiritual Tier Medicinal Pills is amazing, but the anticipation of failure is higher, due to the practitioner's ability are only at the rank of Warrior stage, never to mention, Altima is only at late 6th stage Concocting Practitioner after passing the two day of experience gaining from the competition.
Without wasting another second, Altima immediately prepares his Concocting Station and started to use his best possible way to concoct this challenging Spiritual Tier Medicinal Pill. With Mobi assisting within Altima's mind, the interface runs its best scanning to quickly decipher each of the Medicinal Value, and properties, to enhance the success rate of Altima Concoction, while Altima himself quickly prepare the ingredient to run a few trials before the full concoction could be started.
Throughout this painful and crazy challenge, Altima tried from the refining process on the Basilisk blood, to the combination of both Yin and Yang Extract, the challenge of resisting the spirit suction from the Spirit Devouring Tree petals, as well as the parasitic Moss. Within the first hour, Altima only manages to resolve the easiest process, where he manage to process the Flower from Spiritual Cactus, and thoroughly refine all its extracts which thinly distribute along the roots and vein which ran across each of the flower petals.
In the second hour, Altima finally manages to gather a large and sufficient moss tips, which is cleared and free from the parasitic properties. Soon, after the 4th-hour ends, Altima finally manage to separate the petals from the bark of the Spirit Devouring Tree, as well as combined both Yin and Yang Extract into a smooth yet rich liquid. Lastly, the Blood from Medicinal Basilisk successfully refined, leaving only the most important properties within.
To began the concoction, Altima first Heat the Medicinal Cauldron with his strongest Essence Flame, before all ingredient is completely mixed within the cauldron to allow the mixture to take place. Very quickly, the mixture began to form a paste, before Altima use his tool to quickly stir and mix the paste evenly.
Before long, while the paste almost reaches its complete consistency, a strand of Red coloured vines started to grow out from within Altima's clothing. The strands of thin vines started to quickly envelop Altima, rendering Mobi useless and entrapped tightly on Altima wrist and losing control and spiritual link with Altima.

Very soon, under the supervision from all the other spectators, Yang Wu Di, and the announcer, Altima completely had himself wrapped thoroughly with this vines, and turn berserk.
"Little Brother!", Yang Wu Di is the first to have a big reaction upon seeing this condition happened on Altima.
"This is the Berserker Blood Parasite! To..to think that it had grown to such condition just through feeding this youngster Essence Energy.", Grand Elder Shennong is shocked as well, after witnessing this changes.
"Guinness Corp, Protect the spectators!", General Guinness immediately had all his elite guards scattered around the Stage.
"How rich is all this Yin Yang Energy around, Ahh Food!!", Neo Altima immediately speaks and growl in hunger, in where the Deadly Yin Yang Spear is wrapped with tight vermilion vines, strengthen the spear deadly aura almost significantly.
Closest with the Neo Altima is the 2nd seat Bai-Ye, where he immediately become the main target of Neo Altima assault.
"Gigantic Essence Triple Strike!", Bai-Ye immediately defends himself by launching a series of fist strike, strengthened with 6th Stage Warrior Practitioner Strength.
"Die and become my meal! Dark Wheel of Tai JI!", with a swing of his arm, Neo Altima quickly crushes Bai-Ye's fist strike with the Darkened Wheel of Tai JI, before he continues with his next attack.
"No, you don’t, Little Brother.", Yang Wu Di, being the first to approach Neo Altima, quickly immobilize him, and stop him from taking another step in killing Bai-Ye.
"Big Brother, you are too busy body here!", Neo Altima immediately launches a triple strike from the Zhen Wu Mountain Destruction Palm, but easily defended by Yang Wu Di with his strength placed on the 5th stage, Spiritual Practitioner.
"Argh! You are too annoying!", Neo Altima immediately moves away from Yang Wu Di's reach, but easily catch up with him without any additional effort.
As they both trying to take a move and chasing, the situation quickly got controlled, where even Grand Elder Shennong Shiwu came down from the Guest seat and getting close to both of them. After inspecting the battle and preparing some concoction through his sphere of Yin Yang Energy, Grand elder suddenly speaks loudly, disturbing both of them who countering each other's attack.
"Royal Prince, please restrict this young man."
Without any difficulties, Yang Wu Di immediately had Neo Altima locked from next action, allowing Grand Elder to get close to Neo Altima without any difficulties.
"Young Child, you are lucky for me to be here with the correct time and correct ingredient."
With a swipe of hand, Grand Elder immediately apply the medicinal Concoction on Altima's body, where the effect of the medicine quickly shown. The vines which enveloping his body quickly shrink back to the place where the concoction is poured, and quickly rolled up into a ball of yarn, but hideous and malicious. With the vines are all gathered into a smaller ball of yarn, Grand Elder Shennong applies another drop of different concoction, and thoroughly separate the ball from its host body, and enter the Medicine Jar. Trapped within, Grand Elder filled the Jar with the remaining concoction, and soon, the Jar finally stopped resisting.
Soon, Altima finally awakened from his slumber, healed from the side effect of the Berserker Blood Parasite. Feeling himself freed from the burden carrying the Berserker Blood Parasite.
"Little brother thanked both Big Brother and Grand Elder for your assistance in controlling the Berserker Blood Parasite.", Altima quickly regains himself, but Mobi keeps himself quiet due to the crowd around them are all powerhouse among the southern State.
Without hesitating, Altima moves towards Bai-Ye as well and ask for forgiveness due to losing himself during the middle of concoction. After all this ordeal and distraction ends, the crowd finally return to their respective seats, while the participants to their station, and continue the Concocting competition.
Long Story cut short, with sufficient time, Altima manage to receive plenty of information through his interface and the delayed off time created by the Berserker Blood Parasite, he manages to Concoct a total of 3 Small Spiritual Reviving Salve, thus obtaining the right to be placed on the first seat once again.
With this all is over, the fourth day of Competition and Announcement of the top Concocter for the 251st Concocting Competition is finally announced, with Altima placed on the first seat, receiving a title of Youngest Earl for the South Eastern State. Being awarded with a title of Earl means Altima could travel within the South Eastern from now on, and proceed to enter the vicinity of Wu Di Royal City.
Through this competition too, Altima finally realize the difference between Concocting Practitioner and masters, as well as the difference between a warrior Practitioner compared to a King Practitioner. With such motivation leading him forward, Altima Decided to push his limit towards greater heights, and shine from the back, assisting Yang Wu Di in his conquest to become the Conqueror of the Lan Shen Continent.
