Lind entered the work area set aside from a platform for battle. It was not a battle for him, but for the young woman seated in front of him. The round before the semi-finals would hinge on his ability to make an elixir able to eke out the most power from a peak Crystal Tier Immortal.
His opponent was an old man in shimmering violet robes. Lind recognized the symbol of a lightning bolt in gold laid over a green leaf. It was the guild that was rather ostentatious in his mind but their results were excellent.
The Heavenly Essence Guild. The lighting bolt was Heaven while the leaf was a stand in for any herbal essence.
Lind turned to the woman in front of him. She was fit but he frowned as he felt like something was off. In theory, it should be straightforward but it seemed like the committee in charge of selecting the candidates for this contest had thrown a hidden aspect to the requirements.
