Amidst the crowd’s skepticism and ridicule, Lin Xuan finally put down the Pill Recipe in his hand. He waved his hand, and an Alchemy Furnace appeared before him.
The people around him exclaid. He was about to begin his Alchemy.
"Hmph, this kid is quite the show-off. Does he think taking out an Alchemy Furnace makes him an Alchemy Master?"
"I don’t believe for a second he knows Alchemy."
Situ Hang snorted coldly. "He’s just embarrassing himself!"
Huo Yuner sneered, "If he’s an Alchemy Master, I’ll eat this Alchemy Furnace."
The mbers of the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance also roared with laughter, but in the next mont, their laughter died in their throats.
Lin Xuan had made his move. With a wave of his hand, a batch of dicinal Materials flew into the Alchemy Furnace, containing a total of thirty-six Spirit dicines. He controlled them as they entered the furnace.
The next mont, he waved his right hand, and a mass of blue fla surged inside, engulfing all the materials.
The Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance was dumbfounded.
The Pill Tower was dumbfounded.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
The other Alchemy Masters were equally dumbfounded.
The instant the fla appeared, their hearts pounded in their chests. This kid actually has such a powerful fla! He really is an Alchemy Master!
"How is this possible?" Huo Yuner’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This Lin Xuan really is an Alchemy Master! How can this be? Her words had co back to slap her in the face.
Situ Hang was also taken aback, but he quickly recovered and snorted. So what if he’s an Alchemy Master? He can’t possibly be a fourth-rank Alchemy Master. There’s no such thing as a fourth-rank Alchemy Master this young. To think he dreams of refining thirty-six Spirit dicines at once... what a fool. Just watch, those Spirit dicines will be reduced to ash in an instant.
WHOOSH!
Inside the Alchemy Furnace, the flas roared. The thirty-six Spirit dicines slowly lted, transforming into droplets of dicinal liquid.
How is this possible? Situ Hang was aghast.
He had just declared that Lin Xuan would fail, but in the blink of an eye, he was brutally proven wrong. He had succeeded. He had refined all the dicinal liquids. He was truly a fourth-rank Alchemy Master.
Situ Hang was completely stunned.
Master Qingyou stood frozen in place. This Alchemy Technique... it’s as smooth as flowing water.
Huo Yuner shrieked, "How is this possible? He’s really a fourth-rank Alchemy Master!"
The Young Tower Master, the Tower Master, the entire Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance—everyone was dumbfounded. Just monts ago, they had all claid that he couldn’t possibly be an Alchemy Master, that no fourth-rank Alchemy Master could be so young.
And the result? Lin Xuan was indeed a fourth-rank Alchemy Master. The slap of reality hit all of them hard.
A fourth-rank Alchemy Master under the age of twenty... This is just too heaven-defying! An absolute genius!
Lin Xuan continued his Alchemy, beginning the second step: purification. He executed one of the Ten Great Alchemy Techniques, the Star-Picking Hand, and moved to extract the impurities from all the liquids at once.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd went into an uproar.
The other Alchemy Masters exclaid, "What is he trying to do?"
"He’s trying to purify all the dicinal liquids simultaneously!"
"What a joke!"
"How could he possibly do that?"
"Exactly! Who does he think he is?"
"Even Master Qingyou purifies them one by one. Does he really think he can do them all at the sa ti?"
"Don’t tell his skill surpasses even Master Qingyou’s! That’s absurd."
No one believed it was possible.
Master Qingyou snorted coldly. This kid is far too arrogant. Just watch, he’s bound to fail.
Situ Hang also shook his head, saying, "He’s too reckless."
The Young Tower Master sneered, "Idiot."
Huo Yuner grew excited. Is he going to fail? Wonderful!
But Lin Xuan did not fail. The Star-Picking Hand, one of the Ten Great Alchemy Techniques, was specifically designed for simultaneous purification. With his current level of skill, accomplishing this was not difficult at all.
The impurities were rapidly removed, and the dicinal liquids grew purer by the second.
"Oh, heavens!"
"How is that possible?"
"He actually did it! He didn’t fail!"
"Damn it, how did he do that?"
"He’s just too incredible!"
"What kind of Alchemy Technique is that? It’s simply heaven-defying!"
The surrounding Alchemy Masters were losing their minds. Master Qingyou’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head. Situ Hang shot to his feet, staring intently at the scene unfolding before him. The Young Tower Master’s expression turned incredibly ugly as he was proven wrong yet again.
As for Huo Yuner, she was so frightened she fainted on the spot. How could this be? How could this kid be so powerful?
Lin Xuan continued the purification process. The dicinal liquids began to turn crystal clear as the last of the impurities were steadily eliminated.
Everyone watching was utterly stunned, shocked by Lin Xuan’s technique.
"He really can purify them all at once!"
"This man’s Alchemy Technique surpasses Master Qingyou’s!"
"Damn! Based on this technique alone, I can confirm he’s a fourth-rank Alchemy Master!"
"Such a young fourth-rank Alchemy Master... Am I dreaming?"
The crowd was in a frenzy. At that mont, everyone was going wild. They finally understood why the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance had sent this young man to compete. It was because he was truly that strong.
Where in the world did this genius co from? How did the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance manage to find soone like him?
The crowd was overco with shock—an emotion so profound that "shock" itself was an inadequate word. They were simply dumbstruck. Even the ancient records contained no ntion of a fourth-rank Alchemy Master so young. Furthermore, the Alchemy Technique he wielded was unbelievably wondrous, sothing they had never even heard of.
In that mont, Lin Xuan had slapped everyone in the face, and the sound was deafening.
The Alchemy continued. Before long, Lin Xuan made a swift gesture, and the flas inside the Alchemy Furnace suddenly subsided. Thirty-six crystal-clear drops of refined essence floated in the air, each one as radiant as a crystal.
The surrounding crowd was speechless with astonishnt. Many of the Alchemy Masters were on their feet, screaming wildly.
"He did it! He succeeded!"
"He simultaneously purified all thirty-six liquids!"
"That’s just heaven-defying!"
Huo Yuner had already fainted from fright. Situ Hang was at a complete loss for words.
Earlier, he hadn’t taken Lin Xuan seriously in the slightest and had even mocked him. But now? His words had been thrown back in his face. Lin Xuan’s skill completely surpassed his imagination. He was a peerless prodigy.
How can this guy be so strong? Situ Hang’s composure shattered.
Master Qingyou’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. To think I was outdone by him... damn it all!
The mbers of the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance standing beside him felt their hearts leap into their throats. This kid is so strong... could he be an interdiate fourth-rank Alchemy Master? Is he actually going to win? If he wins, we’re completely finished. The thought made them so nervous they nearly passed out.
The Young Tower Master’s face was grim, but he still snorted coldly. "There’s no need to worry," he said. "So what if he’s an interdiate fourth-rank Alchemy Master? He can’t win. The trap in this Pill Recipe is extrely well hidden. It can only be discovered after multiple failed attempts. This guy only has three chances to fail, so there’s absolutely no way he’ll find it."
"Even in the unlikely event he does find the trap, he won’t be able to overco it in such a short amount of ti. Not unless... not unless he possesses a legendary Anomalous Fire."
Upon hearing this, the people from the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Wonderful. Then there’s no way this kid can win. As for him possessing an Anomalous Fire? That’s absolutely impossible. Anomalous Fires are the stuff of legends. Even the Alchemy King doesn’t have one, so how could this kid?
Master Qingyou was also reassured, feeling completely at ease. No matter how wondrous your Alchemy Technique is, you are still dood to fail in the end.
