Capítulo 1625: Chapter 84: The Misfit
When others were already surrounded by steam, his pill furnace still showed no unusual signs, not even a trace of white smoke.
“Could it be that he’s going to pull the same trick again and refine a perfect elixir?”
“I just wonder what level of elixir he’s refining.”
“If he’s refining a First Grade Fifth Level Immortal Elixir, then that would be terrifying. A perfect First Grade Fifth Level Immortal Elixir would very likely win the championship!”
…
The other competitors noticed this situation as well.
However, the Third Prince of Mujian Country remained focused, concentrating on refining his own elixir.
Before the competition, he had warned himself not to be influenced by the outside world, as it was taboo in the alchemy industry.
However, his ability to do so did not mean that others could.
So many people were affected by Lin Yifan, not knowing what hidden moves he had.
Princess Qingyan didn’t care whether she succeeded or failed in her refinement, because entering the finals was already a success for her.
She kept watching Lin Yifan, trying to figure out what exactly he was doing.
She saw Lin Yifan continuously infusing cultivation power to refine the elixir, yet his pill furnace showed no reaction, as if it were a giant abyss devouring his power.
This phenomenon was too bizarre, even more so than the previous refinement.
At least in the previous refinement, there was some white smoke rising, but now there was nothing at all.
As time passed, the cultivators present became increasingly curious.
Why was it that while others were nearly finished, Lin Yifan’s pill furnace remained unmoved? They couldn’t figure it out.
“Master, what on earth is Junior Brother Zhang doing?”
Princess Xinting was utterly confused and had to inquire with the Immortal Konghui beside her.
Immortal Konghui shook his head, indicating he was unsure.
Even such a powerful person couldn’t understand, so it seemed it was difficult for anyone to comprehend what Lin Yifan was trying to achieve.
Elsewhere, Princess Jianping also asked in vain, unable to discern what Lin Yifan was up to.
The Empress of Yuncui Kingdom was increasingly intrigued by Lin Yifan; this young man was mysterious and powerful, with many valuable treasures hidden on him.
She was curious whether these valuable treasures were picked from the Immortal’s Cave Mansion or taught by someone. If taught by someone, it would be frightening, as the person’s realm might be higher than anyone present.
Because an individual possessing a peerless treasure was never an ordinary person.
No one on site could understand Lin Yifan’s antics, except the dean of Mujian Country’s highest academy who could see a hint.
He was a renowned alchemist in the World of All Things, not only knowledgeable but also experienced.
In Lin Yifan’s situation, either he was a fool who couldn’t refine, or he used advanced alchemy.
The so-called advanced alchemy is a type that only high-level alchemists can comprehend and master. Under normal circumstances, low-level alchemists shouldn’t possess it.
Lin Yifan was certainly classified as a low-level alchemist, so the dean wasn’t sure about his thoughts.
After observing a while longer, he became more convinced of his thoughts. Lin Yifan was using “virtual-real alchemy,” a highly advanced alchemy technique he had yet to master.
“Virtual-real alchemy,” as the name implies, is illusory on the surface but real inside.
In other words, it appears that he’s not refining, but inside the pill furnace, a series of reactions have already occurred.
This fact alone was enough to prove that Lin Yifan was a terrifyingly talented alchemist.
Of course, this was just his guess; the truth of the matter would only be revealed in the final judgment stage.
Yao Shi’an, seeing Lin Yifan’s pill furnace remaining silent, couldn’t help but sneer, “Is this the genius alchemist you all speak of? How ridiculous!”
“What do you know? Junior Brother Zhang is using a strategy of striking after others have acted, and in the final stage, he will certainly sprint with all his might to refine a perfect elixir.”
“Really? Then I’ll be waiting to see it.”
Yao Shi’an was contemptuous and refused to agree with such a viewpoint.
Because Lin Yifan’s current situation was different from the group stage, he thought that Lin Yifan might have made a mistake and couldn’t refine it properly.
On the competition stage, Lin Yifan continued as he was, refining his elixir.
Being affected by external factors could at best affect his mentality and the quality of the elixir, or at worst result in a failed refinement, suffering power backlash. He didn’t want such a result, so he ignored matters outside and solely focused on refining the elixir.
As one alchemist after another finished refining the First Grade Third and Fourth Level Immortal Elixirs, only those aiming for the First Grade Fifth Level Immortal Elixir were left.
However, even then, those people were almost finished. Contrarily, Lin Yifan appeared to be “neither fish nor fowl.”
Neither like refining nor competing, there was no reaction, no improvement.
Everyone was puzzled and really curious about what action Lin Yifan would take in the final stage.
“This guy constantly infusing power into the pill furnace; isn’t that quite amusing?”
“I think he might have fallen asleep.”
“That’s really possible indeed.”
“Looks like the champion will certainly go to the Third Prince of Mujian Country.”
“The Pill Energy color refined by the Third Prince of Mujian Country is the purest in the entire venue, indicating that his elixir has the least impurities.”
“Hurry up and end it; there’s nothing more to watch.”
…
Ninety-nine percent of people had little faith in Lin Yifan.
Even Princess Xinting, who trusted Lin Yifan the most, thought he had lost.
“I think his ability is just that little bit; he even entertains thoughts of matching others, utterly laughable.”
Princess Jianping seized the opportunity to mock endlessly.
Her supporters felt the same way.
“A genius alchemist is just a joke.”
“I think his alchemy level is originally Fourth Grade Immortal, so he could refine a pretty good First Grade Fourth Level Immortal Elixir, but there’s no way he can refine a First Grade Fifth Level Elixir.”
“It means, his aptitude is actually very mediocre, nothing impressive at all. The Third Prince of Mujian Country is the real alchemy genius.”
“Yes! I think many people have been fooled by him, especially those brainless ones cheering for him.”
…
The supporters of the Seventh Princess felt mocked no matter how they listened. However, there wasn’t much to be done, as Junior Brother Zhang showed no progress or adaptability.
“Is he going to lose?”
Immortal Konghui sighed.
She originally thought that Lin Yifan would win, but now, it seemed hopeless.
Elsewhere, Princess Qingyan, who was competing on the same stage, although she resented Lin Yifan, also wanted to see what amazing performance he would have. Now, with Lin Yifan’s lukewarm performance, she was utterly disappointed.
When everyone thought Lin Yifan was bound to lose, only the dean of Mujian Country’s highest academy expressed a different sentiment: “It seems the champion will be none other than him.”
