Capítulo 1619: Chapter 78: Refinement Success

After discovering there were over thirty, they announced the elimination of participants who refined First Grade Second Grade Immortal Elixirs or below.

The participants with lower alchemy levels were quite unfortunate, as their slim hopes were completely dashed.

However, this was within their expectations, and they knew that even if they reached the final competition, the championship wouldn’t belong to them, so they weren’t too upset.

Since the advancement quota was fixed at thirty, those elixirs that qualified (more than thirty) had to be re-examined.

The First Grade Fourth Grade Immortal Elixirs that passed this examination did not need to be re-examined; they advanced directly to the finals. Those First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixirs of the same grade needed to be judged by quality to determine elimination.

Princess Qingyan of Tianze Country was very fortunate to be the last to qualify.

The quality of the elixir she refined was just a bit better than the thirty-first, purely by luck.

In the list of thirty advancing contestants, Tianze Academy had relatively few, whereas Mujian Country claimed a large portion.

But this phenomenon wasn’t surprising because Mujian Country is renowned for its elixirs, so a high alchemy level is natural.

In the second group, it was Su Jianping and Su Xinting’s turn to compete.

Each had their calculations, neither willing to yield, both wanted to refine a First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixir to prove themselves.

When it came to alchemist levels, the two were equal; however, in terms of alchemy level, Princess Xinting was slightly better, so the outcome of this match was hard to predict.

The match began, and the two immediately got into the zone, focusing on refining elixirs.

Not long after, both produced red and green smoke, which greatly shocked the high-ranking officials of Yuncui Kingdom in the VIP section.

The fact that the alchemist levels of the two princesses were two bars, yet they could produce smoke from a First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixir was indeed impressive.

However, whether they could refine a First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixir still depended on the final result.

The competition was in full swing; nobody wanted to miss the chance to qualify for the finals.

Some competed desperately, some sought to prove themselves, while others fought diligently.

As participants succeeded or failed, the competition approached its end.

Princess Jianping and Princess Xinting had not yet given up; they were both tackling the final hurdle.

Princess Jianping felt extremely uncomfortable, more so than ever, and didn’t dare to relax for a moment.

Apart from that, the heat she controlled had to be precise, otherwise, it might affect the quality or cause refining failure, leading to a backlash.

Princess Xinting was also in the same situation, but her mentality was slightly better than Princess Jianping, never comparing herself to the latter from start to end.

She participated to prove herself and also to show Lin Yifan that she was a decent girl, balanced in all aspects, deserving of him.

Watching from the audience, Lin Yifan thought Princess Xinting’s condition was slightly better than Princess Jianping’s. Thus, he speculated that Princess Xinting would win, while he feared that Princess Jianping might not even be able to refine the elixir.

As he had expected, the severely uncomfortable Princess Jianping became increasingly restless and glanced at her Seventh Sister not far away.

Realizing that her Seventh Sister was about to succeed in refinement, she became anxious.

In her hastiness, she messed up the control of the heat.

As the temperature balance was disrupted, she immediately suffered a backlash, sustaining considerable internal injuries.

Fortunately, the level of the elixir she attempted to refine wasn’t much higher than her alchemy level, so her body was unharmed.

One careless move led to complete defeat, and she was no longer able to continue refining the elixir, which meant a declared failure.

After her failure, she was filled with resentment and wanted to sabotage her Seventh Sister. However, with so many eyes watching, she found it hard to act; if caught, any hope of thrones or power would be lost.

Princess Xinting wasn’t affected by her Third Sister’s refinement failure; she continued to carefully and earnestly manage her refinement, tackling the final hurdle.

“Although the Third Princess has a higher status, it must be admitted that the Seventh Princess is stronger and has a more stable mentality.”

“I think the same.”

“It seems the Seventh Princess is increasingly gaining the upper hand.”

…

The students of Tianze Academy, considering the performance in the two matches, reached this conclusion.

Of course, this was a relatively neutral and slightly biased view toward Princess Xinting.

For those who sided with the Third Princess, they thought differently.

They felt that until the last moment, the winner and loser wouldn’t be known.

If Princess Xinting also failed to refine, then she would be no different from the Third Princess.

On the other hand, Dean Konghui was embarrassed. She hadn’t expected the Third Princess to lose so quickly; she should’ve at least lasted until the final moment.

However, Immortal Konghui didn’t display much joy.

Even though the Seventh Princess could still control the heat, it was evident she was struggling and feeling uncomfortable, making the chances of failure rather high.

Everyone awaited the final moment, but the Empress of Yuncui Kingdom and Lin Yifan already had their answers.

Princess Xinting had passed the final hurdle, and now all she had to do was maintain her composure.

As they expected, a few minutes later, the red and green smoke from Princess Xinting’s alchemy furnace dissipated, indicating that she had over a ninety-five percent chance of refining an elixir.

Princess Xinting secretly sighed in relief, having finally overcome the hurdle.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, gasping for breath with lingering fear.

Glancing around, she noticed many had already finished refining; to her surprise, her Third Sister had actually failed and was now sitting in despair, full of self-reproach.

Scanning the surroundings again, she instinctively glanced at Lin Yifan to gauge his expression.

Lin Yifan gave a slight smile, indicating her good performance.

This feeling was somewhat odd; despite her realm being higher than Lin Yifan’s, she received his recognition.

However, she didn’t see Lin Yifan as an ordinary person. From his effortless refinement of a First Grade Second Grade Immortal Elixir during the Tianze Academy entrance examination, his alchemy level was clearly at least three bars or above, higher than hers. So it was appropriate to receive praise from a superior.

Returning the courtesy, she nodded in response to Lin Yifan’s smile.

This scene, though subtle, was noticed by sharp-eyed observers, especially Yao Shi’an, who was paying close attention to Princess Xinting.

Yao Shi’an hadn’t expected Princess Xinting to be looking at Lin Yifan; he thought she was looking at him since Lin Yifan was sitting in the third row behind him, not too far apart.

“Damn, this is infuriating! Does she even think of me?”

His question was directed at Princess Xinting, but his attitude was somewhat inappropriate; after all, he was the pursuer, and a one-sided one at that. How could he blame Princess Xinting for exchanging glances with others?

Princess Xinting couldn’t care less about Yao Shi’an’s feelings because she never had any feelings for him in the first place.
