"What Master said is correct," said the disciple of Feng’en Temple:
"His version of the Cantong Qi is fake, and what’s recorded in it must be nonsense. Now he can only muddle through, unlike us who need to prepare ticulously."
"That’s exactly what I an," Li Dongying said casually, as if he was confident of victory:
"Just ignore him and focus on our own tasks."
"Understood, Master."
The people on both sides continued with their tasks.
Approximately three hours later, as the flas under the Pill Furnace gradually extinguished, Li Yongnian exclaid excitedly:
"Uncle Master, it seems it’s almost done."
Lin Yi nodded indifferently, "Wait another half hour for the temperature to co down and it will be finished."
Li Yongnian nodded, sowhat excited.
Although he’s a Daoist priest, alchemy and pharmaceuticals have always seed unreliable to him.
If any Daoist claims to be capable of alchemy, they’re probably a fraud.
But now, his Uncle Master has done it, and that’s a different story.
On the other side, the alchemy was also nearing its end.
This made the audience present beco restless, as this prolonged debate was finally about to have a result.
As ti passed, half an hour went by quickly.
When Lin Yi uncovered the Pill Furnace, a peculiar fragrance wafted out.
The three pills that had been crafted lay quietly inside, their bodies a black-gray color.
Although the efficacy was yet to be verified, at least they had been successfully crafted.
In this regard, there was no embarrassnt.
Sitting on the podium, Li Xuanzhi, alongside Li Dongying, both glanced at Lin Yi unexpectedly.
Originally, they thought Lin Yi would fail during the alchemy process, making the subsequent steps unnecessary.
But unexpectedly, he succeeded.
"Uncle Master, they actually succeeded; it’s like blind luck," a disciple remarked.
"Could they have cheated? Their accomplishnt seems dubious."
"Don’t concern yourself with these details," Li Dongying said aloofly, like an unworldly sage:
"Even if they did succeed, it doesn’t change the outco."
"Understood, Master."
Checking the tir nearby, Li Dongying said:
"In another ten minutes, we can open the furnace too."
"We’re all set," the disciple from Feng’en Temple said excitedly.
Ti ticked away and ten minutes passed swiftly.
Li Dongying then instructed his disciple to open the Pill Furnace.
"It’s a success! Not a single one is damaged!"
The disciples from Feng’en Temple danced with joy, expression showing they felt as if they’d already won.
Seeing his crafted pills, Li Dongying displayed a satisfied expression.
The opportunity to make a na for himself and rise up was here!
Soon, both sides brought their pills to the front stage.
anwhile, journalists sward around like flies.
They aid their caras at the pills, snapping away ceaselessly.
"Professor Jiang, they have both crafted their pills; could you please evaluate them?"
Jiang Zhongzhe nodded, then picked up the pills Lin Yi had crafted but instinctively looked at Lin Yi.
Despite the ti that had passed, he still found Lin Yi familiar.
There was even a voice telling him that this feeling wasn’t a re illusion.
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the fun, insiders watch the doorway.
Jiang Zhongzhe held Lin Yi’s crafted pills to his nose, detecting a strangely unique fragrance.
Though it differed from the traditional scent, it had a morable quality.
Then, Jiang Zhongzhe picked up the pills crafted by Li Dongying.
Compared to Lin Yi’s, his lacked such fragrance.
It even had a peculiar sll.
Next, Jiang Zhongzhe took out a small knife to cut off a piece from each pill and inspect the internal structure.
Upon cutting it open, the pill crafted by Lin Yi was hard only on the outside, its interior finely detailed, this technique amazed Jiang Zhongzhe.
In contrast, Li Dongying’s was entirely a hard lump.
This indicated so nuances.
Pills crafted by Lin Yi appeared superior to those by Li Dongying.
Li Xuanzhi and Li Dongying seed to notice this too, the forr remarked with a smile:
"Professor Jiang, dicine is ant to heal; appearance alone shouldn’t determine effectiveness; shouldn’t it undergo laboratory tests for a definitive evaluation?"
Jiang Zhongzhe nodded, saying:
"Indeed, judgnts based on sight and sll aren’t reliable; everything must speak for its effects, so I’ll take both pills back for testing."
Li Xuanzhi nodded, "When can we expect the results?"
"If starting now, probably by tomorrow afternoon."
"Good, then we’ll leave it to Professor Jiang."
"It’s my responsibility."
"No!"
Just as the staff were about to leave with the items, Zhang Xiaoyun stopped everyone.
"Do you have sothing else?" Li Xuanzhi asked Zhang Xiaoyun.
"Once taken away, who knows if tampering might occur during testing."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoyun’s words, the disciples of Feng’en Temple couldn’t help but laugh.
The pills they crafted were flawless; tampering was impossible.
Li Xuanzhi adjusted his glasses, laughing.
"Don’t worry, we’ll have a live broadcast and welco all supervision, there won’t be any tampering."
"Even with a broadcast, tampering can’t be entirely prevented."
Li Xuanzhi smiled confidently, "If you mistrust our process, send soone for oversight; that dispels your concerns."
In this respect, Li Xuanzhi showed great confidence.
He believed Zhang Xiaoyun’s doubts inadvertently provided montum.
It was even more beneficial!
Once test results are out, they won’t have a chance to deny or dispute!
Because their people would be tracking the process!
This would allow them to accept defeat gracefully!
"Master."
Zhang Xiaoyun turned to Zhang Youfu.
"Yong Nian."
"Master."
"Take soone and go with them."
The matter was important, and Zhang Youfu didn’t want errors, so he assigned Li Yongnian.
"Understood, Master."
With the remaining arrangents sorted, the next steps were routine.
Since finishing the alchemy, Lin Yi hadn’t paid more attention to the matter.
He knew well about his pills.
If final results don’t match expectations, it would an tampering occurred.
They would be exposed during retesting, leading to their embarrassnt.
