Capítulo 1620: Chapter 79: Why Is He Allowed to Compete?
Therefore, she wouldn’t entrust her happiness to such an unreliable man.
Lin Yifan’s smile had no other meaning; he only thought Princess Xinting had it tough, so he gave her a smile as a comfort for the soul.
After all, Princess Xinting is a challenger, a challenger of her own limits. Just for this courage alone, she deserves commendation.
The uneasiness in the hearts of the supporters of Princess Xinting at Tiansui Academy can finally be put to rest.
The success of Princess Xinting shows that she is stronger than the Third Princess, which will earn favor among the ministers and the Empress. It will greatly aid her in ascending the throne in the future.
At this moment, the Immortal Konghui is feeling the same way; she can finally be at ease.
As the competition nears its end, Mujian Country once again has many students advancing, worthy of being an Alchemy Great Nation.
During the inspection stage, Princess Xinting awaited nervously for the judge to open her Alchemy Furnace and inspect the Elixir she refined.
Although she completed the refining process with surprising ease, she wasn’t completely sure if she would successfully produce the Pill. After all, success in refining doesn’t necessarily mean a Pill is produced, and there are plenty of historical examples of this.
A few minutes later, a judge approached.
This judge was an Elder from Tiansui Academy; she looked at Princess Xinting with a pleased expression, thinking Princess Xinting performed well earlier. She then proceeded to open the Alchemy Furnace and explore for the Elixir.
After a while, she finally found a Pill.
Princess Xinting noticed a slight smile on her face and asked impatiently, “Elder, is there an Elixir?”
“Congratulations to the Seventh Princess, for successfully refining a First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixir!”
As soon as this was said, it caused an uproar.
Many found it unbelievable, especially the supporters of the Third Princess.
For a dual-bar Alchemist to challenge successfully and refine a First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixir—it’s clear that Princess Xinting’s ability exceeds that of Princess Jianping.
The Third Princess stubbornly refused to believe this result, and shouted, “Elder! Quickly take out the Elixir for everyone to see.”
The Elder from Tiansui Academy did not waste time and immediately took it out.
In the next moment, a red and green Immortal Pill appeared before everyone.
However, the quality of the red and green Immortal Pill was rather rough, and it’s easy to see that the quality isn’t particularly high; but this doesn’t deny that it is indeed a First Grade Third Grade Immortal Elixir.
The judges able to inspect on the scene were all checked for any external Elixirs, so there was no possibility of cheating.
Therefore, this red and green Immortal Pill was genuinely refined by Princess Xinting.
Princess Jianping kept shaking her head, refusing to believe she lost to her younger Seventh Sister.
With conclusive evidence, no one present dared to question the result or the ability of the Seventh Princess anymore.
“Princess Xinting really is impressive.”
“But, given the quality of this Elixir, she likely won’t advance to the final round.”
“Breaking through oneself is already a success. You can’t force yourself to compare with those abnormal Alchemists from Mujian Country.”
“Indeed! Indeed!”
…
Yao Shi’an didn’t feel any comfort, as he was increasingly dissatisfied with Princess Xinting.
From the very start, Princess Xinting did not have him in her heart, even though he loyally pursued her for years. His love was truly wasted.
Over in Yuncui Kingdom, many prominent figures had already guessed the result, so they were not surprised to see it.
Lin Yifan was much the same; for a person with high Alchemy Level, the smoke emitted from the Alchemy Furnace could easily determine the success and approximate quality of the refined Elixir.
Princess Xinting felt quite disappointed, but she was already quite satisfied with her results. Whether she can advance to the finals is up to fate.
The Elixirs refined by the second group of contestants were quickly inspected, and ultimately Princess Xinting fell short, unable to make it to the finals.
Upon hearing this result, the Third Princess felt quite relieved; had her Seventh Sister advanced to the finals, she would have lost face completely.
Princess Xinting showed a bitter expression, but she accepted this outcome, just as Lin Yifan said, “The aim is participation, after all.”
After a brief rest of ten minutes, it was time for the third group of contestants to take the stage.
Lin Yifan and Yao Shi’an were in the same group, so they headed to the competition platform together.
Passing by Lin Yifan, Yao Shi’an advised: “Kid, if I were you, I wouldn’t make a fool of myself here.”
“Aren’t you just a dual-bar too? What qualifications do you have to speak against me?”
Lin Yifan gave a contemptuous glance and then strode away.
“You…”
Yao Shi’an was furious, wanting to teach Lin Yifan a lesson for his arrogant demeanor.
But with so many prominent figures watching, he couldn’t disgrace Tiansui Academy, so he had to hold back.
Lin Yifan did not possess an Alchemist Jade Pendant, so the students from Tiansui Academy were eager to know whether Lin Yifan could make it to the finals.
If he could make it to the finals, it would be impressive.
It wasn’t just them; disciples from other academies also noticed this.
They wondered why Lin Yifan, who didn’t have an Alchemist qualification Jade Pendant, could be on stage. Was there a backdoor or secretive arrangements?
They questioned the event officials: “Judge, why is he allowed to compete?”
“Right! If he’s not an Alchemist, why compete?”
“Student Zhang has been verified by us to be capable of refining a First Grade Immortal Elixir, so he is qualified to compete,” the judge replied.
“No evidence, can you prove it?”
“You will know shortly!” the judge replied.
“What if he fails to refine a First Grade Immortal Elixir? What will Tiansui Academy do?”
“Then we will compensate everyone with a large amount of Spiritual Pearls,” the Immortal Konghui replied coldly.
This group was too arrogant, blatantly ignoring the host’s dignity. However, she couldn’t act rashly; important figures from various academies were present, and any commotion would damage the relations between the six countries.
“Do you represent Tiansui Academy?” The academy disciples asked fearlessly, continuing their inquiry.
“I will donate Spiritual Pearls to you on a personal basis,” the Immortal Konghui replied.
The academy disciples considered Immortal Konghui a significant figure, likely possessing many Spiritual Pearls, so they agreed to let it go, giving her face: “Fine! You said it, don’t go back on your word!”
“I will never go back on it!”
Immortal Konghui confidently believed Lin Yifan could refine a First Grade Immortal Elixir.
This uproar undoubtedly added pressure on Lin Yifan.
Princess Xinting was worried about Lin Yifan failing in his refinement; refining an Elixir cannot be done with too many distractions and pressure.
But Lin Yifan remained serene and unaffected by outside influences.
The so-called Jade Pendant is merely a certification given by the Alchemy Convention; it doesn’t represent anything substantive. As long as there is strength, what is there to fear?
Princess Qingyan, who had already advanced to the finals, was eager to see whether this man, on par with her Realm, could once again astonish the crowd.
