Chapter 137 – Alchemy Competition 25
Chapter 137 – Alchemy Competition 25
Although she couldn't see it, Anda wouldn't have mistaken this aura no matter what.
A figure immediately came to her mind. Previously, she sensed something familiar, but she couldn't exactly tell what it was because it was too vague and abrupt.
"If someone is having an enlightenment at this moment, it must be related to alchemy!" Anda speculated. She wondered what someone who touched the corner of Alchemy Dao could do.
The next moment, she heard some explosions occurring around her, most likely alchemy explosions due to the interruption caused by the enlightenment aura.
At the same time Anda sensed the enlightenment aura, the entire Grand Stadium saw a holy ray beamed down from the sky, engulfing Norin Homun, who was still in the middle of an alchemy process.
It caused the crowd to be speechless for a few seconds before bursting into excitement.
"Holy Mother of alchemy god! This is crazy!"
"It should have been me!!!"
"What's going on with this time Alchemy Competition? So many cultivators broke through and now someone going through an enlightenment? Amazing!"
"Hahaha! I was here! I witnessed this historic moment happening."
And of course, the person who was the most happy about this sudden phenomenon was Tordin Homun.
"Look Vitali, look! That's my daughter over there! The Dao blessed her! Your Clover Family could never produce someone outstanding like my daughter! HAHAHAHA!"
"SHUT UP, you old fart! Go away! I don't care, idiot!" Vitali was more annoyed at the annoying Tordin than the fact that his rival family gained an absolute genius.
He would bring up this topic every time they meet from now on to taunt him and it would drive him crazy.
Vitali looked at his delicate younger sister. He had to discuss it with her right away. It was not possible to delay it anymore, even if he had to endure countless punches.
"Wow! This is the second time I have seen this light. It always comes at an unexpected moment." Leyvi commented.
"Is the first one Big Madam?" Nala asked.
"Of course, we were near a magma pool in a cave at that time. After that, she comprehended the Fire Concept. I wonder what will Norin comprehend after this," Leyvi replied.
A few minutes later, the holy light faded and disappeared.
Norin opened her eyes and smiled joyfully. She didn't expect to be lucky enough to be blessed by the Dao of Alchemy. It was something that she had never imagined before.
After the last round, she didn't care about her ranking anymore and she only wanted to give her best competing with Anda and Mia, two alchemists she considered her rivals in the competition.
So, for the final round, she decided to go out of her comfort zone by making a difficult tier-3 alchemy product that she had failed many times before. She had a feeling that with the massive improvements she achieved throughout the alchemy competition so far, she wouldn't fail in making that product anymore.
However, even though she tried her best, she still faced the same problem while making the product, and she knew her alchemy process was destined to fail again.
Thinking about Anda Leyan and Mia Fafifa, who might have completed their best alchemy products, her competitive spirit soared to the highest level, and she tried everything she could to prevent her alchemy from failing.
At this moment, her concentration level had reached such a high level that she perceived time passing much slower than normal. Everything happened slowly, and she finally found out what caused her to fail again and again.
Although the alchemy failed in the end, she was 100% confident the second set would be successful without a doubt.
Just as she was about to start the second set with newfound confidence, a pillar of holy light descended and enveloped her entire body, transmitting batch after batch of profound knowledge.
But after the enlightenment ended, the wisdom that she received felt like she had always known about it. It felt like she was born with it, and everything felt so natural.
"Huh? Tal, why did she put away her cauldron? Is she giving up? She has another set of ingredients, though. Oh no, please don't give up! I want to win the last round!" Tasya asked Tal, confused by Norin Homun's unexpected action.
During the competition, except for when cheering for Anda, Tal, and Tasya were in their own world, enjoying the competition in their own way. In each round, they would select five alchemists of their choice and sum up their total points at the end to compare. The loser has to obey the winner's demand.
"Hehe, looks like you are going to lose and need to obey me later." Tal chuckled. Tasya always asked him to piggyback her. After this, it would be her turn to piggyback him.
However, Tal's fantasy was short-lived because Norin grabbed the first ingredient and magically pulled out the essence from it effortlessly. With just a thought, she contained the essence, and it floated in the air.
WHAT??????
One could say that everyone widened their eyes in shock at what they had just witnessed. Some of them even had their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
How could they not be surprised by the fact that a process that should require some time and effort was accomplished in a matter of seconds? Isn't this too ridiculous? Give us enlightenment too, please! Please, sexy goddess living in heaven, bless us with the Dao!
"Oh? I've seen this before. I didn't expect that a single enlightenment would allow her to reach this level without any effort. Truly miraculous!" Albert Wood praised.
"Eh? Where do you see that, President? There is another person who could do this? Are you lying again for clout?"
"Ptui! Why do I need to lie for clout? I am the clout!"
"Dammit President! You are not the clout, you are the clown! Stop spitting!"
"Hmph, our Alchemy Association's founder can do this. I saw it when I was younger. But he could do it not through enlightenment, he said after studying and performing alchemy for a very long time, you'd be able to do it naturally."
"Our founder...The Protector?"
"Yes."
"Doesn't that mean he touched the corner of Alchemy Dao just relying on his efforts? That's amazing!"
"Hahaha, I didn't know about that previously, but that lass just proved it. He is truly amazing. I thought he was just a weirdo, always farting."
"President, you don't have the right to call other people weird. Look at the mirror."
In just a few minutes, Norin finished extracting all the essences she needed. Extracting the essence was easy, but when she started the refining step, separating the smaller impurity particles from the essence required more mental energy from her.
An hour later, she had refined all the essences to at least 99% purity, far better than she had ever achieved before.
She quickly started the mixing step and successfully avoided the mistakes that she had made so many times in the past, causing the alchemy to fail.
At this moment, Norin was beginning to sweat a lot. Beads of sweat formed one by one on her face. After all, changing the properties of each essence by manipulating the molecules was quite an arduous task.
Another hour later, the mixture was completed, forming the desired essence of the product.
Finally, in the forming step, the essence turned into a semi-solid substance. Norin immediately collected and stored it in a container suitable for lotions.
She successfully made a top-grade tier-3 product, a Youth Retaining Lotion, a highly popular product among the ladies. She finished a process that typically requires 3 days in just over 2 hours!
It was extremely heavenly defying!
However, just like what Anda experienced, using the Alchemy Concept was very mentally taxing.
Norin was sweating profusely and slightly dizzy because she overused her new ability a little. Although it was way faster and better, she would be too tired mentally after an alchemy.
So, until her mental energy was strong enough to do alchemy continuously without ever getting exhausted, she couldn't abandon the normal way of alchemy.
Many alchemists who witnessed the entire alchemy process had mixed feelings. On one hand, they felt in awe of her, and on the other hand, they felt envious of the blessing she received. They were devoted to alchemy, too. Why did the Alchemy Dao only bless her?
Elder Godari smiled. He was very happy to see the situation. The Alchemy Competition this time was really something. To him, a young alchemy prodigy gained enlightenment, allowing her to gain magical alchemy ability was a sign that the Alchemy World would advance soon.
No, he changed his mind. The fact that there are so many alchemy prodigies appeared at the same time was the real sign indicating the Alchemy World would progress further soon. Anda Leyan, Mia Fafifa, Norin Homun, Ori Oregano, any of them could dominate the past Alchemy Competition.
He was looking forward to the arrival of the current era's Golden Age of Alchemy.
Two days later, the last contestant finished their alchemy, and it meant that the alchemy competition was coming to an end.
"Attention to all contestants. Please submit your alchemy products. The final round is over!" Elder Godari announced.
