"Are you sure you don’t want to take a look?"
Facing the nacing Elder Li, Lin Xuan remained calm and composed.
Elder Li snorted coldly. "Fine, then I’ll let you die knowing you were wrong."
He turned his head to glance at the Alchemy Furnace, and in the next mont, he was stunned.
Heavens, what did he just see?
Inside the furnace, dozens of drops of dicinal liquid were suspended in the air.
He did it! The kid actually succeeded! He really refined the dicinal materials into liquid, and he did it in just ten seconds!
"Damn, this is too unbelievable, isn’t it?" Elder Li blinked hard, feeling as if he were dreaming.
Finally, he reached out and grabbed one of the drops of dicinal liquid.
It’s not a dream. It’s real. Elder Li’s body began to tremble.
He suddenly turned his head towards Lin Xuan, exclaiming, "How did you do it?"
In the distance, Chen Changsheng was also dumbfounded. He had been scared to death, thinking Lin Xuan was dood, and never expected Elder Li wouldn’t make a move. He hurriedly rushed over, and in the next mont, he too was left in a daze.
He saw that there were dozens of drops of dicinal liquid inside the Alchemy Furnace. Lin Xuan had actually succeeded in the refinent.
This is unbelievable! Could it be that this kid really is a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? Chen Changsheng couldn’t believe it.
Lin Xuan, however, just smiled faintly. "I told you I’m a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. What’s so difficult about refining dicinal liquid?"
"Alright, let’s proceed to the next steps. What elixir do you want to refine?"
Elder Li snapped back to his senses, swallowing hard. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Just refine the most common of the fourth-grade elixirs, the Spirit Transformation Pill."
The Spirit Transformation Pill was the most commonly used cultivation elixir for Grandmasters.
Elder Li took out a scroll and handed it to Lin Xuan. "This is the pill recipe for the Spirit Transformation Pill," he said. "You can follow it for the refinent."
"The Spirit Transformation Pill? I’ve refined it countless tis. I’ve already perfected it," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Next, he began the second step of alchemy: removing impurities.
Elder Li and Chen Changsheng stepped aside, watching silently, both uncertain if Lin Xuan could actually succeed. After all, lting dicinal materials was only the first step, the simplest part of alchemy. Just because Lin Xuan could accomplish this didn’t an he was a fourth-grade Alchemy Master.
Chen Changsheng clenched his fists. "Lin Xuan might really be able to do it," he said. "After all, he’s created many miracles."
Lin Xuan could fight across seven cultivation realms; perhaps he really was a fourth-grade Alchemy Master.
Nearby, Master Chen shook his head. "I don’t quite believe it."
"Removing impurities is more difficult, and the final step, rging the dicinal liquid, is the hardest of all. I refuse to believe soone who is only seventeen or eighteen years old could possess the skill of a fourth-grade Alchemy Master."
Elder Li had never seen soone so heaven-defying, nor had he ever heard of such a person. In his view, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to succeed.
But what happened next was a sight Elder Li would never forget for the rest of his life.
Lin Xuan simply waved his hand, and the blue flas once again enveloped all the dicinal liquid.
"What?" Elder Li exclaid. Is he trying to remove all the impurities at once? That’s impossible! Even a true fourth-grade Alchemy Master couldn’t do that! This kid is insane! He’s bound to fail!
But a mont later, Lin Xuan succeeded.
Elder Li stood frozen, like a statue.
Then ca the third step: rging the dicinal liquid. This was the most difficult part of the process, but Lin Xuan perford it with absolute ease.
When a complete elixir appeared in the Alchemy Furnace, Elder Li was completely dumbstruck.
Heavens, he actually did it! He really succeeded! This is too unbelievable! The kid is actually a fourth-grade Alchemy Master! A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade Alchemy Master... This is simply heaven-defying!
Elder Li felt like he was going insane. Just a mont ago, he had been saying that it was impossible, that no Alchemy Master could be so young. In the blink of an eye, his words had co back to slap him in the face.
Chen Changsheng was also stunned. He succeeded! Lin Xuan actually succeeded! It’s incredible! So Lin Xuan wasn’t bragging after all... He really is a fourth-grade Alchemy Master!
Thinking of this, he jumped up in excitent.
"Damn, Lin Xuan, you’re too amazing!" Chen Changsheng rushed over and bombarded him with questions. "How did you do it? When did you learn alchemy?"
Lin Xuan just smiled. "It was a trivial matter, not worth ntioning."
This Spirit Transformation Pill was rely a low-grade fourth-grade elixir. Lin Xuan could already refine mid-grade fourth-grade elixirs, so a simple Spirit Transformation Pill was naturally effortless for him.
Lin Xuan then looked at Elder Li. "So? Is this proof enough?"
Elder Li snapped out of his daze and nodded heavily. "Yes, yes! Of course! Young Master, please follow back to the hall. I will report to the Deputy Alliance Leader right away."
Elder Li respectfully escorted Lin Xuan away, his attitude a complete reversal from before.
Back in the previous hall, Elder Li ordered his subordinates to serve the finest Spirit Tea. "Young Masters, please wait a mont. I will go and invite the Deputy Alliance Leader."
After speaking, Elder Li hurriedly left.
「In another great hall.」
Wan Er had just sent Huo Yuner away and was in a very good mood. Huo Yuner had co seeking a partnership; a fourth-grade Alchemy Master from the Fire Dragon Sect would be assisting their Tianyang Alchemy Alliance. It seed the Alliance’s crisis would soon be resolved.
Just as she was thinking this, Elder Li rushed in.
"Well?" Wan Er asked. "Did you turn that kid to ash?"
Elder Li shook his head.
Wan Er frowned. "Did Chen Changsheng plead on his behalf? Even if he did, you can’t let that kid off so easily. At the very least, you should have broken his legs and thrown him out."
"No, that’s not it," Elder Li shook his head again, his voice filled with excitent. "He succeeded! He succeeded!"
"What? Succeeded?" Wan Er was bewildered.
Elder Li said, "He successfully refined a fourth-grade elixir! He really is a fourth-grade Alchemy Master!"
"What?!" Wan Er was dumbfounded.
But soon, she frowned. "Nonsense! Elder Li, did that kid bribe you to speak up for him? Do you have any idea what the consequences are for this?"
"No!" Elder Li quickly denied. "I received no bribe! I am telling the truth! I saw it with my own eyes—that kid refined a fourth-grade Spirit Transformation Pill!"
Wan Er was stunned again.
This is unbelievable... He looks seventeen or eighteen, yet he’s a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? What a joke! I’ve never heard of such a thing. Besides, even if he were a fourth-grade Alchemy Master, his refinent speed is far too quick! It only took him two hours in total to succeed? That’s just ridiculous. I don’t believe it. Elder Li must be lying!
