The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 547: Did Fang Lin Lose?

Zhang Wenxuan looked ghastly, with dried blood on his face, producing an appalling sight.

Fang Lin’s complexion was pale and his breathing slightly rapid, but he remained calm, as though he had done something trivial.

Before Fang Lin floated four red pills, giving off waves of heat and a strong fragrant pill emissions.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to these four Red Sun Pills. Their appearance suggested a premium quality pill.

However, before everyone could give it a longer stare, Fang Lin waved a hand and gathered the four pills into a jade bottle, which he then handed over to Chen Yongnian.

“Please inspect them, Elder Chen,” Fang Lin said respectfully.

Chen Yongnian nodded in acknowledgment, praise shining in his eyes as he patted Fang Lin’s shoulder, “Well done, indeed.”

“Elder Chen, you flatter me,” Fang Lin said with a light laugh.

Having said that, he retreated to the side, unceremoniously sitting cross-legged.

The effort of pill refining had sapped Fang Lin’s strength considerably, especially the task of controlling three Soul Commanding Pill Flames and then using the flame as a furnace. This had depleted much of his mental energy.

It was quite impressive that Fang Lin remained conscious and managed to stand his ground, albeit on wobbly legs.

No one blamed him for his failure. After all, they were all aware of Fang Lin’s condition. If he were not allowed to rest, he would hardly be able to stand.

Chen Yongnian didn’t rush to examine Fang Lin’s pills, but instead held the jade bottle in his hand, turning his gaze on Zhang Wenxuan.

Excitement shone in Zhang Wenxuan’s eyes. With trembling hands, he lifted the lid of the furnace.

The moment the lid was lifted, a cloud of white smoke shot up, bringing with it a strong and rich fragrance of the pill.

Unable to resist, Zhang Wenxuan glanced inside the furnace, his face bursting with joy.

“Two of the highest quality, two perfect! I have definitely won!” Zhang Wenxuan roared in his heart as a wave of excitement overcame him.

Promptly, he took out the four Red Sun Pills from the furnace – they were still hot – and placed them in a jade bottle, which he then handed over to Chen Yongnian.

Chen Yongnian glanced at Zhang Wenxuan, his forehead creased with worry. He found the method Zhang Wenxuan had used to refine the pills unnaturally odd, but chose not to comment.

Zhang Wenxuan took his place beside Qi Sanxuan, his gaze filled with triumph as he stared at Fang Lin.

But Fang Lin was unaffected; he had absolute confidence in himself. If he were to lose his standing in the world of Alchemy Tao, then he might as well hang himself.

“Elder Chen, since both of these geniuses have refined the Red Sun Pills, it’s time to announce the result,” said the Co-King.

All eyes in the room were focused on Chen Yongnian, everyone waiting with anticipation.

Chen Yongnian advised everyone to be patient, then proceeded to open the jade bottle handed over by Zhang Wenxuan.

“Hmm?” Chen Yongnian’s eyebrow raised as he took a look. Among the four Red Sun Pills refined by Zhang Wenxuan, two were of the highest quality while the other two were perfect.

By normal standards, these results would grant him a guaranteed victory.

After all, perfect quality pills were incredibly difficult to produce, and Zhang Wenxuan’s ability to refine two of such pills in one go proved how incredibly talented he was.

Of course, without the Soul Blood Refining Pill Skill, Zhang Wenxuan could not have possibly produced the perfect quality Red Sun Pills.

If Zhang Wenxuan had mastered the complete Soul Blood Refining Pill Skill, perhaps all the four Red Sun Pills he refined would have been of perfect quality.

Chen Yongnian was taken aback. Despite the peculiarity of Zhang Wenxuan’s pill refining method, its effect was evident. Under normal circumstances, using a regular method, it’s nearly impossible to produce a perfect quality Red Sun Pill.

You all should take a look too,” Chen Yongnian handed the jade bottle to an elder beside him for inspection.

Each elder that had a look was left in awe, even Mo Ziming couldn’t help but acknowledge Zhang Wenxuan’s extraordinary skills. If things proceeded smoothly, Zhang Wenxuan would likely become the helm of the Xuan Country’s Pill Alliance.

Qi Sanxuan wore a satisfied smile. In his opinion, with Zhang Wenxuan producing two High-Quality Red Sun Pills and two Perfect Red Sun Pills, they were sure to win. Only a miracle could save Fang Lin now.

“Fang Lin, your failure today is just the beginning. I will drive you out of the Pill Alliance and you will have nowhere to hide in all of Xuan City!” Qi Sanxuan sneered internally as he glanced disdainfully towards Fang Lin, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.

The jade bottle was back in Chen Yongnian’s hands. Clearing his throat, he addressed the long-waiting crowd, “Zhang Wenxuan has produced four Red Sun Pills; two of the highest quality and two of perfect quality.”

The crowd gasped in shock at the announcement.

“Zhang Wenxuan has refined two perfect quality Red Sun Pills? Hasn’t he already won?”

“Is this the true strength of Zhang Wenxuan? Incredible!”

“I thought four of high quality would be the limit. I didn’t see this coming.”

“Ah, such is a true genius. We can’t even begin to compare.”

“Unless Fang Lin produces three perfect quality Red Sun Pills, he has definitely lost.”

“How can that be possible? It would be a great thing if he could make just one.”

“It’s a pity, in this dragon versus tiger competition, Zhang Wenxuan is the victor.”

…

“Truly deserving of being called the number one genius by the Pill Alliance. You’ve opened my eyes,” said the Co-King, laughing heartily.

Gongsun Cheng, a middle-aged woman, along with the man from Heavenly Sword Mountain, were all full of praises for Zhang Wenxuan.

Dream Falling Flower kept her gaze on Fang Lin. Seeing him maintaining calm, she felt a bit strange.

Could he really not be the least bit worried? Or was he just not bothered?” Dream Falling Flower said to herself, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

As if sensing something, Fang Lin opened his eyes, meeting Dream Falling Flower’s gaze.

Fang Lin grinned, the brilliant smile on his face appeared to be completely unrelated to the intense pill refining competition.

Dream Falling Flower also responded with an enchanting smile, even though her confusion deepened.

At that moment, Chen Yongnian opened the jade bottle from Fang Lin.

Hum!

The moment the jade bottle was opened, a ray of light emerged.

The crowd froze for a second before raising an uproar as several shocked cries rang out.

“Rainbow light! It’s the Pill Formation Rainbow Light!”

“Why didn’t it appear earlier? Why did it only show now?”

“How unbelievable! The pill inside the bottle is still emitting the Pill Formation Rainbow Light?”

…

Chen Yongnian was also shocked. He hadn’t expected the Pill Formation Rainbow Light to emerge from the jade bottle.

But the emergence of the Pill Formation Rainbow Light signified that the quality of the pills inside the bottle was nothing short of astonishing.

With a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, only Fang Lin knew that the complete formation of his Red Sun Pills wasn’t reached until this very moment.
