Capítulo 1621: Chapter 80: This Man Is Terrifying

She hoped that Lin Yifan’s composed expression wasn’t just for show, otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.

The competition quickly began, and Lin Yifan took out a Pill Furnace and some medicinal herbs, starting to refine the Elixir.

Seeing the advanced Pill Furnace and herbs Lin Yifan used, all the disciples present were curious about which grade of Elixir Lin Yifan was aiming to challenge.

In fact, they were really afraid that Lin Yifan might succeed in the challenge and win the championship; at that time, Lin Yifan would most likely vie for the Female Earth Bead. Once Lin Yifan wins the Female Earth Bead, then this supreme honor would belong to Tian Cui Academy.

They considered their academy to be no worse than Tian Cui Academy, so they were actively obstructing Lin Yifan from taking the stage earlier.

“I hope he fails to refine it!”

They prayed fervently.

Although it sounded a bit ridiculous, this truly echoed their anxious hearts.

The Pill Furnace Lin Yifan used wasn’t the one from the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor, but borrowed from the Immortal Konghui.

If he took out the Seven-Colored Alchemical Furnace, it would certainly attract many envious eyes, which would be extremely detrimental to his personal safety, hence this was the only way.

The Pill Furnace was opened, and he began throwing in the medicinal herbs in order and started the fire for refinement.

Initially, he was doing everything slowly and steadily, with no unusual signs, as if he was refining air.

This drew endless ridicule from the crowd.

“Look, everyone else is already steaming, and colored smoke is coming out, but he hasn’t even produced a wisp of gas yet. Claiming he can refine a First Realm Immortal Elixir is simply a joke.”

“Exactly, he’s just here to show off.”

“Well, we get free Spiritual Pearls now.”

…

“Hmph!”

Yao Shi’an’s lips curled up slightly, not taking Lin Yifan seriously, as someone bound to lose is not worth anyone’s attention.

However, those who had seen Lin Yifan refine Elixirs believed Lin Yifan was indeed capable of refining a First Realm Immortal Elixir; and there was nothing wrong with Lin Yifan’s current operations and performance, it was just slower than others.

Slow doesn’t mean failure; sometimes slow means perfection.

Lin Yifan emptied his mind and heart, ignoring the outside world’s sarcastic remarks, and concentrated on refining.

Only he truly understood his own Alchemy Dao, others’ opinions were trivial to him.

In the audience seats of Mujian Country, there was a young man whose expression was extremely solemn. He seemed to see a formidable opponent, an Alchemist whose strength was no weaker than his own.

“This person is terrifying.”

As soon as he spoke, he provoked a wave of astonishment among the disciples of Mujian Country’s highest academy, and they all inquired, “Third Prince, why do you say this?”

“He is by no means an ordinary person, his Alchemy Dao might be above mine.” The Third Prince of Mujian Country showed an expression of shock and answered, his face full of horror.

“What? Above yours? How could that be? He is merely a Superior Immortal First Realm cultivator.”

“You are unaware, he is using the Gentle Alchemy Technique. The Gentle Alchemy Technique is quite slow, but the resulting Elixir quality is the best. Although it appears easy, it is lethal to impatient people. Each step requires extremely strict control; being too fast or too slow will not do, one must find that precise point, otherwise everything will be in vain.”

“Is this really true?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

“This… isn’t this too frightening? Does this mean he has the potential to win the championship?”

“It’s uncertain for now, we will have to wait until he produces Pill Energy to judge.” The Third Prince of Mujian Country answered.

Although the Gentle Alchemy Technique is very difficult, some extraordinarily capable lower-level Alchemists can master it, and this competition is about who can produce the highest-grade and best-quality Elixir; so as long as Lin Yifan is a lower-level Alchemist, he doesn’t pose a threat to winning the championship.

Because it’s incredibly challenging for a lower-level Alchemist to refine an Elixir two levels higher than their own Alchemy Level.

Seeing the Third Prince so solemn, the disciples of Mujian Country’s highest academy dared not underestimate Lin Yifan again.

On another side, Princess Qingyan also noticed something unusual.

On the surface, Lin Yifan seemed to make no progress, but in reality, he was methodically following his path.

This path was a hundred percent path to forming pills, nothing can block it.

“I hope I’m just overthinking!”

She refused to believe this illusion because it would severely dampen her spirits.

Originally, Lin Yifan was just an ant under her feet, but now he was blossoming fully, with the potential to surpass her. If that were true, how could she hold her head high and look stern and commanding before Lin Yifan, that rogue?

Compared to the ridicule from disciples of other academies, the Yuncui Kingdom high officials seemed quite relaxed.

The Empress of Yuncui Kingdom trusted Tian Cui Academy’s evaluation abilities, believing that anyone granted the “Clearance Pass” must possess decent Alchemy skills. No matter what, Lin Yifan could refine at least a First Grade First Realm Immortal Elixir, so she didn’t believe Immortal Konghui would have to pay any cost.

The competition went on fiercely, and after dozens of minutes, Lin Yifan finally produced colored Pill Energy.

This colored Pill Energy was red and blue, indicating that he was refining a First Realm Fourth Grade Immortal Elixir.

“This kid, actually attempting to refine a First Realm Fourth Grade Immortal Elixir, isn’t he fearless?”

“Everyone is almost done refining, and he just started producing Pill Energy, isn’t that laughable?”

“I also think this speed is somewhat too slow.”

“The Alchemy competition has time constraints, I don’t believe he can finish within the allowed time.”

“He is bound to lose.”

…

Most people didn’t have faith in Lin Yifan, despite Lin Yifan seeming calm, it was seen as mere posturing without practical effect.

“Third Prince, what do you think?” Mujian Country’s highest academy disciple asked full of curiosity.

Previously, without Pill Energy, it was impossible to judge; now with the Pill Energy, one should be able to discern who is stronger or weaker, right?

“His speed is indeed a bit too low, he may not complete before the competition ends. In terms of Alchemy strength, frankly speaking, we are about even, he cannot surpass me at the moment.” The Third Prince of Mujian Country answered.

“That’s good!”

The disciples of Mujian Country’s highest academy sighed in relief.

The Third Prince was their last hope; if even he were to lose, then in this Six Academy Grand Competition, Mujian Country’s highest academy would gain nothing, and at that time, they would be laughed at by disciples from other academies.

Despite Lin Yifan’s Pill Energy appearing much slower than others, from that point on, no one dared to underestimate Lin Yifan’s Alchemy prowess.

Because Lin Yifan’s Pill Energy was extremely rich, extremely fragrant. The richer and more fragrant it is, the higher the chance and quality of the Elixir, so if the competition had no time constraint, Lin Yifan would have a ninety-nine percent chance of advancing to the finals.

Lin Yifan’s extraordinary alchemy ability left Princess Xinting greatly astonished.

The First Grade Second Realm Immortal Elixir was indeed not Lin Yifan’s limit; where his limit truly lay was now really beyond her speculation.
