Wan Er was filled with regret. Earlier, she had seen Lin Xuan’s Anomalous Fire and thought he was very strong, which was why she chose to collaborate with him. But now, he had apparently failed, consuming all of their materials in the process. They were unable to gather more materials in such a short ti, which ant they couldn’t perform alchemy again. They had completely lost! If only I hadn’t chosen Lin Xuan. He’s still too young, too inexperienced.
Lin Xuan walked out with a smile. Noticing the somber atmosphere, he said, "Why the long faces?"
"We failed. We lost. It’s over," Wan Er and Elder Li said, completely despondent.
But Lin Xuan just laughed. "Who said I failed? I succeeded!"
"What did you succeed in?" Elder Li’s eyes widened.
Wan Er didn’t believe him. "How could you possibly have succeeded? No one can refine the Yellow Dragon Pill in one day! Are you playing us for fools?" She was furious. He fails, and now he wants to deceive us? How despicable! Wan Er wished she could throw Lin Xuan out right that instant.
Beside her, Elder Li also shook his head and sighed. "Young Master Lin, say no more. If you anger the Young Alliance Leader, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chen Changsheng even pulled at Lin Xuan, urging, "We should leave, quickly!" It’s clear Lin Xuan has royally screwed over the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance.
"Leave? Why should we leave?" Lin Xuan shook his head. "I succeeded. There’s no need to leave."
Chen Changsheng was on the verge of tears. "Brother, can you please stop bragging?"
Wan Er was shaking with rage. This guy not only scamd us, but he also has the gall to boast about it right to our faces! He’s infuriating! "Soone, throw this man out!"
"Let’s run!" Chen Changsheng grabbed Lin Xuan, ready to bolt.
But Lin Xuan didn’t move. Instead, he opened his palm. "Take a look. What is this?"
An elixir appeared in his palm.
"Is this...?"
"The Yellow Dragon Pill!"
Wan Er was dumbfounded. Elder Li’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Lin Xuan had actually refined it! He had refined the Yellow Dragon Pill in a single day! Heavens, this was unbelievable! How did he even do it? Is this guy trying to defy the heavens? At this mont, Wan Er and the others completely lost their minds.
Chen Changsheng was stunned as well. Lin Xuan had succeeded! He hadn’t been bragging! They didn’t have to run away!
"Damn, this guy created another miracle!" Chen Changsheng was utterly astounded.
Wan Er and Elder Li took the Yellow Dragon Pill and examined it carefully, only to exclaim in shock once more. They discovered it wasn’t an ordinary Yellow Dragon Pill, but a Two-Clawed Yellow Dragon Pill. This was equivalent to a Tier Four Interdiate-grade Elixir! To refine a Tier Four Interdiate-grade elixir in a single day... it was truly heaven-defying!
"Young Master Lin, you are incredible!"
"Young Master, you are truly a divine figure!" Fairy Wan Er bead, her face like a blossoming flower, with no trace of her earlier despair.
Next, Wan Er released the news that they had successfully refined the Yellow Dragon Pill.
Many people had been paying close attention to the competition between the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance and the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance. The Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance had refined the Yellow Dragon Pill in just three days, an astonishing speed that led everyone to believe they would be the ultimate winners. This was especially true now that six days had passed with no news from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance. Everyone speculated that they were unable to refine the pill and were guaranteed to lose the first round. Unexpectedly, news suddenly spread that the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance had also refined the Yellow Dragon Pill, surprising many. Who could have refined it? The Tianyang Alchemy Alliance must have invited another Alchemy Master to help them. I wonder who this mysterious expert is? People discussed the matter with great excitent.
「On the other side, at the Fire Dragon Sect」
Huo Yuner and Situ Hang were waiting. They were waiting for mbers of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance to co pleading for help. In their view, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to succeed. By then, Fairy Wan Er will know who the real master is.
Yet, a full day had passed, and Wan Er still hadn’t co. This made Situ Hang frown slightly. The competition is only ten days long, and now there are only four days left. Why hasn’t she co yet? Could it be they’ve already given up?
While he was pondering, a disciple rushed over, shouting, "It’s here, it’s here!"
Situ Hang laughed heartily. So they’ve finally arrived. This ti, I’ll give them a show of force. I won’t agree to their request so easily. I’m going to make an outrageous demand and ask for even more treasures. It’s their own fault for refusing last ti.
Thinking this, Situ Hang waited, but after waiting for a long ti, he still hadn’t seen Fairy Wan Er.
"Where is she?" Situ Hang asked.
"Who?" the disciple asked, looking confused.
"Didn’t you say the people from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance were here? Where are they?"
The disciple replied, "I didn’t say people arrived. I said news has arrived. News just ca in that the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance has successfully refined the Yellow Dragon Pill."
"What?"
Situ Hang was stunned. Beside him, Huo Yuner was dumbfounded. Is that true?
"Are you sure?"
"I’m sure," the disciple said. "The news was released by the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance. Many clans and sects are discussing it right now."
How could this be? Huo Yuner was shocked. This is completely different from what we expected. Could it be that Lin Xuan is really a fourth-grade Alchemy Master? Did he actually refine the Yellow Dragon Pill? Thinking of this, Huo Yuner felt she was on the verge of a breakdown. That kid is too heaven-defying!
Beside her, Situ Hang snorted coldly. "Impossible. That kid is definitely not a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. I’ve never heard of a fourth-grade Alchemy Master so young. The one who refined the Yellow Dragon Pill couldn’t have been him. It must have been soone else."
Soone else! Huo Yuner breathed a sigh of relief. That scared to death. For a mont there, I really thought Lin Xuan was that heaven-defying. She asked, "Then who was it?"
Situ Hang shook his head. "I don’t know. But one thing is certain: it definitely wasn’t that Lin Xuan. The Tianyang Alchemy Alliance must have hired another fourth-grade Alchemy Master to help. There’s still the second round of the competition. I’ll go watch it in person. Then I should be able to find out who the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance actually invited."
A sharp light glinted in Situ Hang’s eyes. He was determined to see just what kind of expert the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance had managed to invite.
「On another front」
The Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance also received the news and they too were extrely surprised. The Tianyang Alchemy Alliance actually refined the Yellow Dragon Pill? That’s unbelievable. It couldn’t have been the Tianyang Alliance Leader; he shouldn’t have that kind of ability. They must have invited help.
Soone said, "Not long ago, Huo Yuner went to the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance. It must have been soone from the Fire Dragon Sect."
"So that’s it! It was Situ Hang from the Fire Dragon Sect who stepped in. No wonder they were able to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill." The people of the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance had a sudden realization.
Soone worried, "Could Situ Hang surpass us? Might he win the final competition?"
"You don’t need to worry," an old man snorted coldly. His na was Qingyou, and he was also a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. The Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance’s Yellow Dragon Pill had been refined by him.
Qingyou said, "My skill level is about the sa as Situ Hang’s. But we have the support of the Pill Tower’s Young Master. We were able to obtain the pill recipe in advance. I received the recipe for the Wuyou Pill, the elixir for the second round, a year ago. In that ti, I have already practiced refining it to an adept level. How can Situ Hang possibly compete with ? Ultimately, the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance will be the winner."
"That’s for sure," the other elders said with a smile. "The Wuyou Pill is much more difficult to refine than the Yellow Dragon Pill. Only a fourth-grade interdiate Alchemy Master would have a chance of mastering the refining thod in a short ti. Situ Hang is only a fourth-grade beginner Alchemy Master; there’s no way he can master the Wuyou Pill so quickly. So, in the second round, he is certain to lose."
Another elder added, "Never mind the second round, he can’t even win this first one. Although he also refined the Yellow Dragon Pill, he did it on the sixth day. We refined ours on the third. Assuming the elixir grades are the sa, our Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance will surely win. Unless the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance can produce a Two-Clawed Yellow Dragon Pill, only then would they have a chance to surpass us. Otherwise, they have absolutely no chance of winning."
The mbers of the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance all laughed at this. A Two-Clawed Yellow Dragon Pill is equivalent to a Tier Four Interdiate-grade elixir. How could Situ Hang possibly refine sothing like that? Therefore, the winner of this first round was definitely going to be the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance
