At a time when many contestants were failing and starting their second round of refining, Lu Yunâs alchemy had reached a critical moment.
His palm swung rapidly, and the refining flames inside the Alchemy Furnace burned fiercely. The forming pills emitted dazzling lights.
At this moment, the spectators in the audience seats, the VIP seats, and the high platform were all casting their gazes at the scene, as if witnessing a miracle.
âThe pills are about to come outâ¦â Gazing at the extremely brilliant light, these Alchemists knew very well what this furnace of pills represented, and their spirits began to be invigorated.
Countless hearts were raised to their throats at this moment.
At the moment of pill formation, the more dazzling the light, the brighter the pillsâ luster, and the higher the quality.
âThe moment has finally comeâ¦â Qu Fengâs old dry hand firmly gripped the armrest of his chair, the sound of creaking constantly emanating, and his eyes locked on the very center of the scene.
Lu Yun had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and in his ink-black eyes, the splendid scene inside the furnace was being reflected. The round and plump pills were tumbling in the refining flame, undergoing the final smelting and tempering.
âThe championship⦠is mineâ¦â
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?
With his pupils slightly narrowed, suddenly, Lu Yun launched a burst of Aura Origin from his right hand and smashed it on the Alchemy Furnace. The lid was instantly sent flying.
Immediately, the pills that had been nourished to the extreme quickly absorbed the remaining flame and each brought up a ball of purple light, rushing out of the Alchemy Furnace.
The ultimate pill fragrance and resplendent purple light assaulted everyoneâs sense of smell and sight almost simultaneously.
âOne, two, threeâ¦â
Gazing at the ten perfectly round and flawless pills on the screen, someoneâs eyes widened and their voice trembled as they counted the number of patterned pills.
âSeven top-quality pillsâ¦â
On the high platform, Qian Yu, who had originally held some hope, turned pale. He had never expected Lu Yunâs alchemy level to be so high, that he could refine seven patterned top-quality pills while everyone else failed their first attempt.
With the whole field in silence lasting for several breaths, a surge of wild cheers and exclamations suddenly erupted like a deluge, shaking the entire massive square.
Lu Yunâs gaze swept over the high platform, VIP seats, and the audience, finally taking a look at the contest area where the flames were soaring. On his calm face, there was a trace of a faint smile.
The final competition not only tested the participantsâ alchemy skills but also tested whether they had the courage and resolve to question and find errors in the pill recipe.
Most Alchemists rely on pill recipes for their alchemy, and no matter how many times they fail, they would attribute the problem to themselves, thinking that they made a mistake in refining or controlling the flame. It was difficult for them to trace the cause to the pill recipe. @@novelbin@@
That was why they were bound to fail no matter how careful and cautious they were.
Lu Yun, on the other hand, was not lacking in courage and resolve to question the pill recipe. More importantly, he had enough experience and knowledge to spot the problem in the materials of the pill recipe at a glance, and find the issue right away.
It could be said that from the very beginning, the test was a trap. From the moment they received the pill recipe, everyone entered the trap.
From the moment Lu Yun discovered the problem with the pill recipe, he had already stood on invincible ground.
To prevent accidents, he even slowed down his refining speed, eventually producing a batch of pills with a 70% success rate of top-quality pills.
However, the result was beyond his expectation, as it seemed that no one besides him had found the issue with the pill recipe.
With a faint smile, Lu Yun flicked his sleeve, and the ten plump, glistening round pills, so flawlessly perfect they could be considered works of art, shot into the jade bottle on the stone platform.
âHahaha, the competition is over. Letâs all bring out our stake!â On the high platform, Qu Feng looked at Lu Yun, who had successfully put away his pills, and laughed heartily as he gazed at the people around him.
âOld Qu, donât celebrate too soon. Anything is possible before the competition is completely over,â Qian Yu couldnât help but retort against Qu Fengâs arrogant attitude, but it was clear from his voice that he had no confidence.
âNo matter who wins the championship, we should all prepare our stakes as soon as possible, so we can fulfill our promises the moment the competition ends.â
âItâs just a Sixth Grade pill recipeâ¦â
Qian Yu snorted coldly and reluctantly took out a purple scroll, but still spoke with some defiance: âAnyway, there is still one-third of the time left before the competition is over. Itâs not impossible for someone to make a comeback.â
âSigh⦠No one will make a comeback. They canât even refine a finished pillâ¦â Qin Ming sighed and shook his head on the high platform. His old face was full of disappointment.
Hearing Qin Mingâs words, the group of old men around him stared at each other in confusion and then looked at Qin Ming skeptically.
The pill recipe for the final had an extra spirit herb, but apart from Lu Yun, none of the other youngsters found the problem. There was no way they could refine a pill if they followed the recipe completely.â
âWhat disappoints me is that none of them questioned the pill recipe after failing onceâ¦â
As he spoke, the disappointment on Qin Mingâs face deepened. Even though Lu Yun had discovered the problem with the pill recipe at first glance and refined a batch of pills with an extremely high rate of success, it couldnât make up for this disappointment..
