“How… How is that possible?” Not only was Zhang Wenxuan deeply shocked, every person present, even someone like Chen Yongnian, was utterly astounded, their expressions frozen.

Before Fang Lin, despite his shattered pill furnace, a flame-formed cauldron was formed, performing the final step of pill refining.

A cauldron formed of blue flames!

This scene made everyone blanch, some even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

He used fire to forge a cauldron!

That had been Fang Lin’s original plan. Even if the utilization of three types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire caused the pill furnace to break, he could still complete the last step using this method.

Using fire as a cauldron was not Fang Lin’s first attempt. As a Pill Sovereign in his previous life, this was a very simple thing to him.

However, for Fang Lin’s current self, this was an extremely difficult undertaking. All the time he had spent meditating was to bring his condition to a state of perfection.

Otherwise, he very well might not have been able to achieve such a feat.

“This is impossible!” Zhang Wenxuan roared, his eyes wide and filled with disbelief.

Helpless, this scene was too shocking. He had originally thought that Fang Lin was committing suicide by smashing his own pill furnace. He hadn’t anticipated Fang Lin playing such a hand, it was utterly unexpected for everyone.

“Nothing is impossible. Even though I come from the Lower Three Kingdoms, in my eyes, you’re the one who is truly ignorant,” said Fang Lin, his gaze unwavering, his words filled with arrogant mockery.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenxuan backed off a few steps, as if struck by a heavy blow, his chest felt stifled, and he almost spat up blood.

The Fire of the Extreme Sea formed the cauldron while the deep red flame and green flame continued to refine the pills. Although nobody could see the situation inside the fire cauldron, judging from the aroma of the pills, Fang Lin’s pills were just about ready.

“Elder Chen, I think the Pill Alliance of our Xuan Country has found a treasure,” an elder said to Chen Yongnian.

His statement was immediately agreed upon by all the elders present, except for Qi Sanxuan.

Even Chen Yongnian himself wore an expression of delight; Fang Lin’s performance had shocked him, and he felt inwardly fortunate for having chosen to protect Fang Lin in front of Mr. Dugu. Otherwise, the Pill Alliance may have lost such a genius of alchemy.

Chen Yongnian had been completely subdued by Fang Lin’s prowess. If anyone were to threaten to take Fang Lin from the Pill Alliance now, Chen Yongnian would certainly refuse. Such a genius, if nurtured, would bring great merit to the Pill Alliance.

“Even if Fang Lin were to lose this match, I would still consider him my successor,” said Chen Yongnian.

Upon hearing this, several elders were secretly astonished. Chen Yongnian’s assertion revealed just how highly he regarded Fang Lin.

However, it wasn’t surprising as Fang Lin’s performance in alchemy was truly astonishing. This went beyond the realm of common geniuses, qualifying as a genius among geniuses. There probably weren’t many young pill refiners in the entire Middle Three Kingdoms who could match up to Fang Lin.

Among the young pill refiners of the Middle Three Kingdoms that Chen Yongnian knew of, there were quite a few who could be considered geniuses, but in terms of amazing performances, none could compare to Fang Lin. Each of his pill refining acts brought shock to people.

Be it the perfect Spirit Invocation Skill from before or the various skills he had demonstrated this time, Fang Lin had consistently left a deep impression on everyone.

Compared to him, the so-called five geniuses of the Pill Alliance, including Zhang Wenxuan, seemed a lot weaker.

Although the result of this competition hadn’t been revealed yet, Chen Yongnian saw it as a foregone conclusion.

“I never realized this lad was so formidable. I’m afraid Qi Sanxuan’s plans won’t work out this time,” said the Co-King, watching the scene intently and then speaking to those beside him.

Gongsun Cheng wore a sullen expression. On the grounds that Fang Lin had beaten his grandson Gongsun Long, he held a significant dislike for Fang Lin. However, Fang Lin’s current performance did astonish him.

Despite this, it did not change his repulsion and loathing for Fang Lin.

“An alchemy prodigy, it seems he will soon become a highly regarded talent by the Pill Alliance,” said a middle-aged woman. She didn’t have any animosity towards Fang Lin and judged purely based on the situation.

The middle-aged man from Heavenly Sword Mountain also admired Fang Lin, commenting, “Heavenly Sword Mountain also has an alchemy genius, but he seems to be less impressive than this Fang Lin.”

“Are you saying even Gao Shijie from Heavenly Sword Mountain isn’t a match for this Fang Lin?” asked the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged man simply shook his head, too reluctant to elaborate, but his expression had already given her his answer.

Everyone knew that Heavenly Sword Mountain had a genius in the world of alchemy named Gao Shijie. When his mother was pregnant with him, she dreamt of an elder refining pills.

After Gao Shijie was born, by fortunate circumstance he found an Enlivening Pill, gifting him an excellent alchemy talent before the age of ten.

Gao Shijie later joined Heavenly Sword Mountain and rather than having an interest in Sword Tao, he was infatuated with Alchemy Tao. Heavenly Sword Mountain had intentionally fostered his development, thus, by the age of twenty, he had already become a Four Cauldron Pill Refiner and had quite a reputation in the Alchemy Tao World of Xuan Country.

The middle-aged man was from the higher ranks of Heavenly Sword Mountain. As he was familiar with Gao Shijie’s alchemy skills, he believed that although Gao Shijie wasn’t weaker than Fang Lin, compared to Fang Lin’s countless mysterious methods, he was at a disadvantage.

Dream Falling Flower was unable to laugh now. The more fascinating Fang Lin’s performance, the greater the chances of him catching the attention of the Pill Alliance, which was highly unfavorable for her and Crown Prince Zhou Yishui’s plan.

Dream Falling Flower wanted to disrupt Fang Lin’s pill refining process to prevent his success. However, she quickly dismissed the thought. If she had acted out here, she could not have escaped Chen Yongnian’s eyes and would have only brought disaster upon herself.

At that moment, Fang Lin looked extremely serious, his forehead frowned upon, his face and forehead both covered in sweat. Clearly, the method of using fire as a cauldron was extremely difficult for him.

Zhang Wenxuan gritted his teeth furiously, but he soon regained his composure.

“Don’t panic! He’s just bluffing. The Red Sun Pill I am refining using the ancient skill of blood soul alchemy will absolutely overpower him!” Zhang Wenxuan reassured himself.

Simultaneously, the dense aroma of the pill emanated from the pill furnace before Zhang Wenxuan, saturating the air.

Two identical pill aromas mixed together, filling the entire hall with an inviting scent. Everyone kept sniffing, unable to discern from the aroma whose pill was superior.

Even the older pill refiners, upon sniffing the aroma, furrowed their brows as they found it difficult to determine the winner. The two pill aromas were exuding the same intensity, making it almost impossible to make a judgement.

Half an incense burner’s time later, Fang Lin exhaled a long breath and retracted the three kinds of Soul Commanding Pill Fire back into his body. On the other hand, Zhang Wenxuan extinguished the pill furnace’s flame, opening the furnace with an excited expression.

The two of them finished simultaneously!
