346: Chapter 345: Lin Xuan’s Chance to Show Off 346: Chapter 345: Lin Xuan’s Chance to Show Off Wind Moon Square fell into silence.
Each competitor was deep in thought, those with so ideas dared not refine again.
After all, there was only one chance left, and if they failed, they would have to leave.
And so, everyone fell into a strange cycle.
Feeling the tense atmosphere in the air, Lin Xuan beca even more careful.
One herb after another was rged by him, the elixir slowly took shape, and all eyes were on him.
“ld the Purple Dinghua, Black Jade Herb, and Yellow Sand Fruit…”
Lin Xuan added the Purple Dinghua, but when he picked up the Black Jade Herb, his body suddenly shook.
“No!”
He seed to realize sothing, and his expression turned extrely unpleasant.
“The order is wrong!”
Although the elixir recipe ntioned blending these three herbs, it did not specify the order.
Clearly, the order listed was not the order of blending.
This was a detail most people would rge in the order listed, but who would think that it was randomly listed and not the blending order!
“A bunch of crafty foxes, truly deceitful!” Lin Xuan’s face darkened, and now he understood, but he had added them in the wrong order.
“Well, forget it, there’s one more chance, I should be able to succeed.”
Lin Xuan added the Yellow Sand Fruit, and imdiately the elixir trembled, the engraving shattered, and the alchemy failed.
The almost ford elixir turned into fragnts, falling onto the stone platform.
“Another failure, even Lin Xuan has failed, could the second round really be so difficult?” Everyone looked dismayed.
“Hmph, sure enough, he failed.
I didn’t notice the problem, how could he possibly succeed in refining!” Duan Fei sneered.
Up in the stands, when the people from the dicine Emperor Institute saw Lin Xuan fail as well, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, they really feared that Lin Xuan might succeed in one go.
“Heh, it seems that making top-grade elixir in the last round was just a stroke of luck!” Elder Hei Xin huffed.
Everyone was back at the starting line, waiting to see who could find out the problem first.
“No, wait, there’s still one person refining!” Old Man Di Que’s pupils constricted.
At this mont, all eyes turned toward the stone platform.
The hundreds of competitors up there had all stopped their alchemy, each lost in thought.
But in a corner, there was a figure in a red robe, continuing to refine at a leisurely pace.
“It’s her, the He Family disciple!” Everyone was stunned, realizing that He Nian hadn’t caused her furnace to explode.
“How could this be, could there be no problem with the elixir recipe?” Many were dumbfounded.
“Could it be that she has already found the issue?”
Everyone inhaled sharply—if that were true, then this He Nian was too terrifying!
“Impossible, that person must not have reached the crucial point yet!” Duan Fei disbelieved.
Not just Duan Fei, but the Alchemy Masters in the stands were also skeptical.
Song Yunxing’s face darkened, “Damn it, who the hell is this person!”
“Old ng, just what kind of problem did you set up that stumped all those kids?” Old Man Di Que frowned, “If we let this unknown person win, the consequences might not be good, right?”
“Ah, I can assert now that person is definitely not a fifteen-year-old girl!” President ng Chuan spoke solemnly, “I hope soone can discover the problem.”
In the square, looking at the red-robed girl who seed very relaxed, everyone was extrely anxious.
“Hmph!
A bunch of idiots, can’t even see such a simple problem!” The red-robed girl scoffed.
Even though her voice was soft, the square was very quiet at the mont, and the cultivation of those present was not low.
Thus, her words were heard very clearly by everyone.
“Damn it, how arrogant!” Duan Fei raged, as a Third-grade Inscription Alchemist not finding the problem right away was embarrassing enough.
And now, he was being mocked to his face, which was intolerable.
Yet, he could not find a powerful coback, and could only seethe in anger.
The onlookers, including Song Qianqian, had grim expressions on their faces.
“That guy didn’t make a mistake, it seems he must have found the problem.” Lin Xuan frowned, “Looking at her, she’s just halfway through the refinent, there should still be a chance to catch up.”
With that thought, Lin Xuan’s gaze beca more piercing.
His goal was the White Dragon Ascending Pill, so he had to win.
With a gesture of his palm, the last portion of herbs floated into mid-air.
His fingers danced, Lin Xuan began to separate and extract rapidly.
Under the effect of the engraving, the five herbs tumbled and gradually decomposed.
“Damn, has he lost his mind, to extract five herbs at the sa ti?!” The crowd exclaid upon seeing Lin Xuan’s move.
“He’s just a Second Grade Rune Master, yet he dares to multitask, is he not afraid of making mistakes?”
“This is the last chance, there’s no room for carelessness!”
“A Second Grade Rune Master dares to operate on five lines, he’s really courting death!” Duan Fei sneered, as he didn’t believe Lin Xuan could succeed.
Upon the stands, the elders were also shocked by Lin Xuan’s actions.
But President ng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, “Little fellow, have you found out where the problem lies?”
At this mont, Lin Xuan exerted his Soul Power to the extre, his fingers incredibly agile, drawing runes in the air as quick as lightning.
Almost instantaneously, he completed the separation of the herbs.
“Damn, he actually succeeded!” Wu Shaoyu exclaid in shock.
Duan Fei and Song Qianqian, among others, had unsightly expressions, as Lin Xuan had once again defied their expectations.
“He’s speeding up so much, could it be that he’s racing against He Nian for ti?” soone wondered.
“It seems to be true.” Everyone noticed the situation, wondering if Lin Xuan had discovered the issue.
At this thought, they all widened their eyes.
Since He Nian was using a Pill Furnace, the process of alchemy was not visible to the crowd.
But Lin Xuan was different; he was refining by hand, all of his procedures exposed for all to see.
In a corner, upon hearing that Lin Xuan aid to compete with her for first place, He Nian’s lips curled into a cold sneer.
“What an idiot, to compare with , train for a few more decades!”
Having said that, she increased her alchemy speed.
After Lin Xuan finished the extraction of all the herbs, he began the fusion process.
He extended his fingers, and three blobs of liquid rged all at once.
“My God, even the fusion is multitasked, is this guy even human?”
“Is he really just a Second-grade Inscription Alchemist?”
“Why do I feel like he’s even stronger than a Third Grade Alchemist?”
The crowd exclaid, their eyes on Lin Xuan more serious now.
“It’s coming up, the Purple Ding Grass, that’s where I failed last ti!” Song Qianqian said nervously.
Everyone clenched their fists; they had all failed at this point.
“Huh?
Adding the Yellow Sand Fruit first?” Song Qianqian exclaid.
They saw Lin Xuan integrating the Yellow Sand Fruit first, followed by the Purple Dinghua and Black Jade Herb.
In an instant, the realization dawned on everyone.
“The sequence, the sequence in the Elixir Recipe is wrong!”
“Damn, that’s so cunning, I just took the sequence for granted!” many disciples cried out, continuously slapping their heads.
The faces of Duan Fei, Song Qianqian, and others changed and changed again.
On an ordinary day of alchemy, they would certainly not make this kind of mistake.
But today, at the Pill King competition, they were nervous.
Besides the defeat in the first round, the pressure from Lin Xuan and He Nian made them overlook this detail.
But now, it all made sense.
“There’s still a chance!” That was everyone’s thought.
