Chapter 1624 - 83: Changing Alchemy Techniques
The finals will begin in an hour. During this time, Princess Xinting rushed to the waiting room to deliver an elixir and express her regards to Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan was a bit flattered but understood Princess Xinting's gesture.
After consuming the elixir to restore his energy, he expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Princess!"
"You're welcome."
Princess Xinting showed a brilliant smile, but unfortunately, it was obscured by a white veil, so Lin Yifan couldn't see it.
But that didn't matter, as long as Lin Yifan remembered her kindness.
Lin Yifan felt a bit anxious about being entangled with this woman, so he found an excuse to send Princess Xinting away, "Princess, the finals are about to start. If there's nothing else, I'd like to rest for a bit and prepare."
"Alright! Then I won't disturb you. I wish you good results."
Princess Xinting didn't want to be a hindrance, so she sensibly left.
After she left, the Third Prince of Mujian Country arrived.
Seeing this group of other courtyard disciples suddenly rush into the room, Lin Yifan became cautious and questioned, "Who are you? Why are you barging into my room?"
"Oh! This... I'm sorry, I was reckless. I just came to say, take a good rest and bring out your best state to strive for the championship," replied the Third Prince of Mujian Country.
"I don't need your words, I'll naturally do so."
"That's good! That's good!"
After speaking, the Third Prince of Mujian Country left Lin Yifan's room with his people.
Lin Yifan had some impression of the Third Prince of Mujian Country, who had advanced to the finals as the first in the first group, showing great strength.
Back then, he had already considered this person as the strongest competitor for the championship. So now, the strongest competitor coming to visit him and asking him to show his strongest form in the competition seemed to indicate that he also desired a worthy opponent, seeing him as the strongest rival.
Since that's the case, he would fulfill the wish and bring out his strongest form to compete against him.
An hour passed quickly, and the well-prepared Lin Yifan once again took to the stage to begin the final contest.
Princess Qingyan couldn't lift her head in front of the confident Lin Yifan because she wanted to mock him but wasn't qualified; she wanted to deal with him but wasn't capable. This was the helplessness of the weak.
And Yao Shi'an, who had just competed with Lin Yifan, was ultimately eliminated. Now, he was being mocked by the surrounding disciples of Tianchui Academy in the audience.
"Wasn't there someone who looked down on Brother Zhang earlier? How come that person is here, and Brother Zhang is on the finals stage?"
"Exactly! Every time, Brother Zhang makes it to the end, unlike some people who have the realm but lack any strength."
"When Brother Zhang advances to the Superior Immortal Second Realm, it won't be his affair anymore."
...
"Are you done talking?"
Yao Shi'an was driven crazy by these idle comments and wanted to start a fight.
"Oh! Feeling unhappy after a few words, who was it just now who shamelessly looked down on Brother Zhang and slandered Brother Zhang?"
"Exactly, and now the troublemaker is afraid."
"Looking like a bully, no wonder the Seventh Princess looks down on him!"
...
"Damn it!"
Yao Shi'an was furious, about to get up and fight, but his good brother beside him stopped him.
Starting a fight among their own would bring shame to Tianchui Academy and Yuncui Kingdom, leading to punishment and expulsion from the academy. They didn't want Brother Yao to make a grave mistake in a moment of impulse.
"Let go of me!"
"Brother Yao, there are many eyes watching here, behave!"
Yao Shi'an looked around and truly found many people watching, including elders from the academy.
In an instant, he dared not act arrogantly, immediately sitting back down.
"You just wait, you'll regret it later!"
"Oh, I'm so scared! If you dare hurt us, we'll have the Seventh Princess punish you."
"Damn it!"
Yao Shi'an was extremely angry; he hated it the most when someone used the Seventh Princess to pressure him. Because this was his soft spot, a fatal one.
But among these people mocking him were supporters of the Seventh Princess, so he really couldn't lay hands on them; besides, this group included strong Superior Immortal Fourth Realm people, so it was better to suppress his anger.
On the Tianchui Academy's side, many disciples held high hopes for Lin Yifan, including Princess Xinting. She believed Lin Yifan could eventually win the competition and take the championship.
"Brother Zhang, go for it!"
"Brother Zhang, go for it!"
...
Wave after wave of cheers came, making Lin Yifan feel flattered.
He hadn't expected that his previously unknown self could actually receive encouragement and cheers from senior brothers and sisters of the academy, indicating that his performance had earned their respect.
Having supporters was better than not having any, so he was quite gratified.
With Tianchui Academy's cheers ringing out, other academies were not to be outdone, cheerfully giving encouragement to their most capable competitors for the championship.
For a time, the competition venue was filled with various cheers, lively to the extreme.
The alchemists in the final round were all shaken. They put forth twelve percent of their effort, bringing out their strongest strength to fight for their own glory.
Soon after, the competition began.
As always, Lin Yifan took out his alchemy furnace and materials, calmly proceeding with alchemy.
Many people wanted to see what tricks Lin Yifan might pull again, also curious about which grade rank of elixir he would attempt.
If he still aimed for a First Grade Fourth Rank Immortal Elixir, he might have no chance at the championship because from what they knew, the Third Prince of Mujian Country already had the ability to refine a First Grade Fifth Rank Immortal Elixir.
Lin Yifan, of course, knew that the Third Prince of Mujian Country and many Immortal Level Fourth Rank alchemists were not weak, so he wouldn't try advancing in First Grade Fourth Rank Immortal Elixirs again.
The elixir he aimed for was the highest he could currently achieve. Whether he could win the championship depended on the performance of others.
Many alchemists were methodically proceeding with their elixir refinement.
Those contestants who refined First Grade Third Rank Immortal Elixirs during the group stage were purely challenging themselves, without any intention of competing for the championship, because it was an unattainable dream they could never achieve.
And those contestants who managed to refine First Grade Fourth Rank Immortal Elixirs were in for a good fight. They unleashed all their strength to compete against top competitors like the Third Prince of Mujian Country and Lin Yifan.
Many alchemists used rather single techniques, so the final pill quality might not be much different from before. These people were relatively dangerous because competing with someone who has multiple alchemy techniques or can skillfully harness one alchemy technique is difficult.
Lin Yifan had already proven himself a master alchemist in the group stage, but this time, he wanted to challenge himself by attempting a higher difficulty alchemy technique to refine a First Grade Fifth Rank Immortal Elixir.
No one was aware of what he was up to, foolishly thinking he was still using the previous method to refine elixirs.
Though these people couldn't be blamed, because at this moment, his alchemy speed remained slow.
