Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 437: The Outcome is Decided!

Facing Wang Pingchuan’s provocation, Long Chen paid it no mind, continuing to focus on his alchemy. Huge flames burned fiercely beneath the Alchemical Cauldron. Under his patient refinement, the Elixir Pill within the cauldron began to take shape.

Moments later, Long Chen slapped his palms onto the Alchemical Cauldron.

BOOM!

A ripple of energy burst forth. An Elixir Pill suddenly shot out from inside the cauldron. The moment it appeared, a terrifying power spread from it, causing the expressions of everyone present to shift.

What’s going on? To think he triggered such an astonishing energy fluctuation. Has he concocted some kind of terrifying Elixir Pill?

Even Wang Pingchuan was stunned. His brows furrowed involuntarily, a look of concern appearing on his face.

After the powerful energy fluctuation dissipated, everyone fixed their gaze forward, only to see a dark and unremarkable object floating in the air. The scene fell into a brief, dead silence. A moment later, a wave of laughter once again erupted from the crowd.

Wang Pingchuan scoffed, "Damn it. After making such a huge commotion, I thought you’d concocted some amazing Elixir Pill. I didn’t expect it to be a defective piece of junk."

The disciples of the Medicine Pavilion standing behind him chimed in. "Yeah! That’s hilarious!"

"If you fed that defective product to a dog, I doubt even the dog would eat it."

"As expected, our Pavilion Master is truly formidable!"

Everyone began to flatter Wang Pingchuan. This was immensely satisfying for him, and he raised his eyelids slightly, his face full of pride.

The members of Dragon Gate, however, were the complete opposite. They all wore grave expressions, their faces filled with deep worry.

Have we really lost?! But that’s impossible!

Their Sect Master’s skill in alchemy was plain for all to see. Logically, Wang Pingchuan should have been no match for him. Although they were reluctant to believe it, the scene before them was shocking: it was indeed a defective product, lacking any luster or Pill Fragrance. Compared to the Elixir Pill Wang Pingchuan had concocted, the difference was like night and day. For a moment, they were at a loss, uncertain of what to do.

Can it be that we’ve really lost? Will we have to obey the Medicine Pavilion from now on?!

At this thought, the Dragon Gate members’ brows furrowed deeply as they began to contemplate their next move.

Meanwhile, Lei Yujing, floating in mid-air, watched the scene calmly, her face devoid of expression. In her view, things were definitely not so simple. She believed a reversal was still possible.

Just then, Long Chen smiled faintly. His gaze locked onto Wang Pingchuan and his followers as he asked, "Who told you this is a defective pill?"

Wang Pingchuan was taken aback by the question. He sneered, "Open your eyes and take a good look at what you’ve created. If that’s not a defective product, then you tell me what it is."

Long Chen declared, "What I have created is a Peak Quality Elixir Pill, the Guiyuan Pill."

Upon hearing this, Wang Pingchuan and the others couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Who are you kidding? Do you think we’re all blind?"

"Take a good look at what you’ve made! If that’s a Peak Quality Elixir Pill, then what I made isn’t just a mere Superior Quality Pill. It’s the peak of the peak!"

"I can’t believe you have the gall to make such outrageous claims without batting an eye. Do you take us all for idiots?!"

Long Chen just smiled faintly and said nothing.

SNAP!

He suddenly snapped his fingers. The surface of the originally dull, dark Elixir Pill instantly cracked, a dense network of fissures spreading across it. Immediately after, a dazzling light blazed from within. Everyone present instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes from the blinding radiance.

What’s happening?

Even Wang Pingchuan was dumbfounded, and a sense of unease bloomed in his heart. Before anyone could process what was going on, a rich Pill Fragrance wafted out from the Elixir Pill, a single whiff enough to refresh the soul.

As the dazzling light faded, everyone slowly lowered their hands, their gazes unanimously focused on the Elixir Pill Long Chen had created. In the next second, the expression on every single person’s face froze. Their eyes were as wide as brass bells!

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"This Elixir Pill actually..."

Everyone was too shocked to speak, stuttering so badly they couldn’t form a complete sentence. They were clearly stunned. No one could have imagined that the originally dark, unremarkable object would suddenly become so brilliant.

Lei Yujing, who had been watching the contest with a placid expression, felt a ripple in her heart upon seeing the Elixir Pill before Long Chen. Her figure flashed, and in the next instant, she was beside him. After carefully examining the Elixir Pill, she said in amazement, "It truly is a Peak Quality Elixir Pill, a Guiyuan Pill."

HISS!

Hearing Lei Yujing’s words, the entire venue fell deathly silent. They stared at one another, able to see the sheer shock reflected in each other’s eyes.

It’s really a Peak Quality Guiyuan Pill?!

Just moments ago, they were all mocking Long Chen for being stubborn and putting on a brave front, never expecting that he was telling the truth.

Doesn’t that mean Long Chen has won a complete victory?!

Keep in mind, Wang Pingchuan’s concoction was a Wall-Breaking Pill, which was certainly impressive. However, compared to this Peak Quality Elixir Pill, it was completely overshadowed and simply incomparable.

Wang Pingchuan and the members of the Medicine Pavilion were all dumbstruck. Wang Pingchuan, in particular, looked dazed. "Impossible, impossible..."

He shook his head, unwilling to believe that the scene before his eyes was real. He knew that the difficulty of concocting a Peak Quality Elixir Pill in such a short amount of time was akin to ascending to the heavens. Among all the alchemists he knew of a similar age, none had ever accomplished such a feat.

How could Long Chen possibly do it?!

Lei Yujing frowned slightly and looked at Wang Pingchuan. "Are you suggesting my judgment is flawed?"

Hearing this, Wang Pingchuan hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I meant. I just think there’s something fishy about this..."

Lei Yujing snorted coldly. "Losing a competition isn’t shameful. Being a sore loser is."

"Are you, Wang Pingchuan, going to be a sore loser?!"

"No, not at all..." Wang Pingchuan shook his head repeatedly, feeling utterly mortified. He wished he could dig a hole and bury his head in it right then and there.

Long Chen looked calmly at Lei Yujing and asked, "Third Elder, can the results of the competition be announced now?"
