Chapter 54 Shock! Utter Shock!
An hour later.
"Om~~~"
On the field, the alchemy furnace in front of the two was shaking violently.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuanji waved his hand, bringing the burning flames back into his palm, and the alchemy furnace calmed down.
Lin Que then made a hand gesture, circulating his spiritual energy to absorb all the flames into his abdomen.
The aroma of medicine in the air grew stronger.
Looking at Lin Que's alchemy technique, Zhang Yuanji said with disdain, "I don't know where you learned your skills. I've never even heard of them."
"Can you smell that strong medicinal aroma? You're doomed to lose!"
Lin Que shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
Seeing that Lin Que still seemed indifferent, Zhang Yuanji couldn't help but feel annoyed and said, "Then I'll show you!"
"What exactly is alchemy?!"
Having said that, he slapped the alchemy furnace with his hand, opening the top of the furnace without any fear of the still scorching hot outer wall of the furnace.
Lin Que crossed his arms and said, "Since it's a competition, there has to be a referee, right?"
"Who will be the one to make this judgment?"
Zhang Yuanji said arrogantly, "What, is this your last struggle before losing?"
Lin Que shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that someone will deny it if they lose."
"Hmph! Quite the boast, but you're right, there has to be a judge to finally put your mind at ease." Zhang Yuanji then turned to the crowd below and asked, "I wonder, is there any fellow Daoist here willing to be this judge?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd below exchanged bewildered glances. Not everyone was qualified to be the judge, especially since the competition was between Medicine King Valley. If one's status or cultivation level was insufficient, who would dare to step forward?
That's utterly shameful.
Just as everyone was struggling with their decision, a voice rang out.
"Is it feasible for me to make this decision?"
A man emerged from the crowd. He had a handsome face and spoke in a particularly gentle tone. Although he was dressed simply, he could not hide his noble air.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this person, including Su Yuyan and Zhang Yuanji on the field.
"It's...it's actually the Third Prince!"
"What?! The Third Prince is the one to make the judgment? Who would dare to question the results of the test?"
"Phew! The Third Prince is perfectly capable of making this decision."
"Look! Isn't that the Fifth Princess following the Third Prince?"
"Hiss~! It really does seem so!"
"..."
Unexpectedly, the person who stepped forward was none other than Feng Wuxue, the third prince of the Lieyang Empire. According to rumors, the third prince was the most popular in the empire and one of the most popular candidates for the throne.
Many people have high hopes for him.
Feng Wuxue brought the Fifth Princess to the arena and asked Zhang Yuanji with a smile, "I wonder if it is acceptable for me to be the one to make the judgment?"
That smile was like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts.
Zhang Yuanji dared not refuse, and cupped his hands, saying, "If the Third Prince wants to be the one to make the judgment, there is absolutely no problem with that."
"It would be an honor!"
Although Medicine King Valley holds a prestigious position, this is the imperial city of the Blazing Sun Empire, and it is the Third Prince, who currently holds a considerable position, who is here. Even the Valley Master would have to show deference to him.
Lin Que then turned his gaze to the quirky Fifth Princess beside Feng Wuxue, feeling that her constitution was somewhat special.
“Slightly, slightly, slightly~~~”
After noticing Lin Que's gaze, the Fifth Princess made a face at him.
This amused Lin Que; after all, he was still just a child.
Feng Wuxue smiled and said, "In that case, let's take out the pills."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanji slammed his hand on the alchemy furnace again.
"Bang!"
Immediately, ten pills flew out of the furnace, and Zhang Yuanji reached out and summoned them all into his palm.
Then it was spread out in front of Feng Wuxue.
Feng Wuxue stepped forward and examined it carefully. After a while, she exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of Medicine King Valley!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhang is truly remarkable! You've managed to refine ten pills from just one portion of Guiyuan Pill Grass!"
"Out of ten pills, eight were successful, and two were unusable!"
"Hiss~! Three out of eight have five patterns!"
"awesome!"
As Feng Wuxue said, Zhang Yuanji refined ten Second-Turn Returning Origin Pills, eight of which were successful, and three of them had five patterns, although the rest had three to four patterns.
Already very strong!
Everyone was amazed when they heard what Feng Wuxue said!
"Look! No wonder they are from Medicine King Valley."
"This success rate in pill formation, and the number of pill patterns, is terrifying!"
"Without a doubt, the people of Medicine King Valley are destined to win!"
"..."
Then everyone turned their attention to Lin Que, wanting to see his reaction, but to everyone's dismay, Lin Que remained indifferent.
"It seems that Young Master Lin's fate is in jeopardy."
Seeing this, Su Yuyan couldn't help but mutter to herself, while the girl beside her held her hand tightly.
On the arena, Zhang Yuanji gave Lin Que a haughty look, as if in a provocation.
"Brother! It's time to look at him!"
The Fifth Princess tugged at Feng Wuxue's sleeve and pointed at Lin Que.
Feng Wuxue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Alright, almost there."
The two then approached Lin Que, and Feng Wuxue gestured for him to enter, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you may now open the alchemy furnace."
Lin Que nodded, patted the alchemy furnace, the top of the furnace opened, and more than a dozen Guiyuan Pills flew out.
A glint of light flashed in Feng Wuxue's eyes.
Lin Que waved his hand and opened his palm again, and Feng Wuxue couldn't wait to step forward.
It was even faster than when they went to see Zhang Yuanji.
"one..."
"two..."
"five..."
"fifteen..."
"What?! They actually refined fifteen Rejuvenation Pills!"
"incredible!"
"how did you do it?!"
After counting the number of Guiyuan Pills in Lin Que's hand, Feng Wuxue couldn't help but exclaim in shock!
He was clearly stunned!
Upon hearing Feng Wuxue's words, everyone around was stunned. Zhang Yuanji on the stage stared wide-eyed, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing!
Su Yuyan's beautiful eyes flickered repeatedly, and she murmured, "I knew you weren't trustworthy!"
Lin Que calmly said, "Third Prince, take another closer look at the quality of the pills."
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuxue disregarded her earlier lapse in composure and began to carefully examine the Guiyuan Pill.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, I was instantly stunned, completely losing my previous gentle and refined demeanor.
A moment later, Feng Wuxue couldn't help but shout, "No! This...this is impossible! Impossible!"
"Fifteen Guiyuan Pills! Not a single one was a waste!"
"It's...it's all five-layered Dan patterns!!!"
Feng Wuxue was so startled that she involuntarily took a step back!
Even the Fifth Princess beside him, whose cunning face had become somewhat blank and cute!
"boom!"
Shocking! Utterly shocking!
Upon hearing Feng Wuxue's words, everyone present was stunned once again, speechless with shock!
Moments later, the entire square erupted in cheers!
"No! Impossible!"
"Where...where did this guy come from?!"
"Is this fake? Is it a scam?"
"The Third Prince's testimony is definitely true! But how exactly did they manage to do that!"
"Crazy! Crazy!"
“That’s totally unheard of!”
"From this moment on, this person is likely to become famous throughout the entire Sealed Heaven Continent!!!"
"..."
Su Yuyan was completely shocked by Lin Que. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her small hand, her murmured words sounding somewhat broken: "Lin...Lin Que, how many secrets do you... still have hidden from me...?"
"Brother! Brother Lin is defying the heavens!"
"I...I think so too!"
This was the first time the Liu brothers, Dezhu and Dezhu, had ever been so shocked!
"impossible!!!"
Upon hearing the result announced by Feng Wuxue, Zhang Yuanji instantly rushed to Lin Que's side, picked up the pill, and examined it!
After that, he fell into a daze...
