In front of the ten pupils who participated in the Alchemy Competition, there was a stone table with three trays, and on each tray was a set of Spiritual Herbs for alchemy.
The fire and pill cauldron used for Alchemy needed to be prepared themselves.
Lou Mu Yan picked up the paper on the table and looked at it. On it was a Grade 3 Energy Nourishing Pill formula.
The Energy Nourishing Pill was a general medicine used for treating internal and external injuries, and its effect was very good.
After placing the paper down on the table, she found that several other people had already taken out their own cauldrons and started refining pills with their Elemental Energy flames.
She took out the cyan cauldron, reached out, tossed all the Spiritual Herbs in the first tray into the pill cauldron, condensed a cluster of Fire Elemental Energy and tossed it into the pill cauldron.
Refining Grade 3 pills was very easy to her right now, so she didnât have to worry about it at all.
The situation there was quickly noticed by others.
It couldnât be helped. Everyone else was slowly refining and condensing the Spiritual Herbs one by one. Only Lou Mu Yan tossed all the Spiritual Herbs into the cauldron altogetherâit was difficult not to attract attention
The leaders of the five Major Sects and the Headmasters of the Heavenly Secret Palace sat on one side of the very front of the viewing platforms and the referees sat above.
The Headmaster of the Alchemy School of the Vast Mountain Sect saw Lou Mu Yan toss the Spiritual Herbs into the cauldron altogether and said with a smile to Headmaster Feng: âThe pupils of your Eight Extremes Sect sure has talent. This is the first time Iâve seen a person throw all the Spiritual Herbs into the pill cauldron at once when refining pills.
âIs there no one in your Alchemy School to send this time? How can you find a pupil who doesnât even know how to refine pills to participate in the Alchemy Competition?â
Headmaster Feng had been paying attention to Lou Mu Yan the entire time. When he saw that she picked up the Spiritual Herbs on the tray and threw them all into the pill cauldron altogether, he just wanted to find a hole to bury himself into.
He roared inwardlyâwho said Lou Mu Yan was a Grade 4 Alchemist? He promises not to beat them to deathâŠ
How did such a technique in refining alchemy look like something an Alchemist would do? It was simply the performance of someone who didnât know how to refine pills at all.
Hearing the words of the Headmaster of the Alchemy School of the Vast Mountain Sect, the Headmasters of the other Schools all stifled their laughter.
In fact, they couldnât figure out why the Eight Extremes Sect chose a pupil who didnât even understand the technique and sequencing in refining pills to participate in the Alchemy Competition. Did they really have no one to send?
Huo Ling Long saw that the other Headmasters of the five sects revealed a look of gloating, and the Vast Mountain Sectâs Headmaster even had a smile of mockery on his face.
She snorted coldly: âYou havenât seen anyone else refine pills like this, but it doesnât mean people canât refine it like this. What a bunch of ignorant old things.â
She didnât dare to make a statement about other aspects, but she was certain that Lou Mu Yan should be able to refine a Grade 3 pill. After all, so many Beauty Nourishing Pills that were gifted to her was all refined by Lou Mu Yan herself.
ââŠâ Headmaster Feng really wanted to cover Huo Ling Longâs mouth. Saying such words at this timeâwouldnât it be even more embarrassing if Lou Mu Yan failed in a bit?
âHuo Ling Long, your Eight Extremes Sect sure is filled with talents. Thereâs even such a brilliant pill refining technique. As a Grade 6 Alchemist, I canât help but admire it!â
The Elder of the Vast Mountain Sect cupped his hands and continued to smirk, âI sure want to see how she refines those pills and help us open our eyes.â
The ridicule in his words wasnât concealed at all, but he didnât dare to offend Huo Ling Long too much, otherwise it wasnât impossible to be beaten in public
âSure! Then open your eyes and watch.â Huo Ling Long glanced at him coldly.
These damned old things from the Vast Mountain Sect only knew how to jump about. They better not land in her hands these days, otherwise sheâd definitely âgreetâ them well.
The Vice-Tower Leader of the Pill Tower and the several referees were sitting at the very top, very close to Huo Ling Long and the others, so they naturally also heard their conversation.
An Elder from the Smithing Pavilion smiled and asked the chief referee: âOld Han, what do you think? I personally donât think that little girl looks like she can refine pills.â
Old Han placed his gaze on Lou Mu Yan, then said after a bit: âShe can refine pills. My guess is that her Mental Energy should be very strong. Others need to slowly refine the Spiritual Herbs one by one, but she can refine a bunch altogether.â
âThereâs such an alchemy technique?â The Elder of the Smithing Pavilion asked curiously.
âThere are such Alchemists, but very few. Whether that girl is a genius of such type or not, we will know when she finishes refining.â Old Hanâs gaze never moved, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
Not only did the superiors above pay attention to Lou Mu Yanâs situation, but many other pupils also saw it.
Many pupils who could refine pills were all sneering below, and the pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect were all swept over by numerous odd looks, and they all felt a little ashamed.
Many people complained inwardly that if Lou Mu Yan couldnât refine pills, then just change her for someone else or just give up directly. Why did she have to go seek to impress by feigning her abilities and even make them embarrassed with her.
On the Alchemy Competitionâs platform, Lou Mu Yan obviously didnât know that the many people present were inwardly laughing at her.
After she probed her Mental Energy into the cauldron, she quickly controlled her Elemental Energy flame to wrap all the Spiritual Herbs one by one, refining them into powder, then immediately began to condense the pill.
A moment later, when others had not finished refining the Spiritual Herbs, with a casual slap, five lustrous and round pills flew out of the cauldron.
With a beckon of her hand, the pills instantly fell into the porcelain bottle on the table.
âReferees, Iâm finished.â She looked at the referees of the Alchemy Competition and said.
The two had discovered Lou Mu Yanâs technique in refining Alchemy earlier, and they were a little unhappy when they saw her tossing the Spiritual Herbs into the pill cauldron all at once.
In their eyes, Alchemy was a sacred thing. This girl didnât know Alchemy yet still came here to mess aroundâshe truly was too ignorant.
But gradually, they felt an inkling of something. Her Alchemistâs flame was controlled very well and there was no sound of failure coming from the cauldron when the Spiritual Herbs were being refined.
Now, seeing that she actually refined the pills in such a short time, they all felt that it basically blinded their eyes.
The two referees walked to Lou Mu Yan at the same time and poured out one of the pills she refined.
Then the two of them revealed shock in their eyes, and one of them announced: âEight Extremes Sect Lou Mu Yan refined five High-Quality Essence Nourishing pills and passed the first round.â
ââŠâ
Hearing the result announced by the referee, the expressions of the people who had just ridiculed Lou Mu Yan earlier now looked very nice. They really didnât expect that pills could be refined like this.
And wasnât this too fast?
The most important thing was that she not only took one-tenth of the time of others to refine the pill, but the quality and rate of pill production was also surprisingly high.
âYou old things, keep your eyes open wide. The pupils in laoâniangâs School are just this talented.â After hearing the refereeâs announcement, Huo Ling Long smugly swept the other Headmasters whose expressions were constantly changing and boasted.
She just loved to take advantage of an opportunity and slap faces the most!
âHahaâŠâ The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect said with a fake smile: âThis girl must be your trump card for the Alchemy Competition this time right? You sure hid it well, itâs truly opened our eyes.â
He said this on the surface, but he was choking inside. He didnât expect to only just finish ridiculing the other party when the little girl slapped his cheek with facts.
Judging from the time, quality, and rate of pills that this girl was able to refine, she should be an Alchemist higher than Grade 4.
Headmaster Feng, that damned old man, even revealed a look as if he also didnât believe she could refine pills like they didâhis acting skills sure was convincing.
If Headmaster Feng knew what he was thinking, he definitely wouldâve spit him a face full of blood.
He was also frightened by it alright? He didnât even know that Lou Mu Yan knew such a technique in Alchemy.
If he knew, even at the risk of being beaten by Huo Ling Long, he wouldâve dug Lou Mu Yan over to the Alchemy SchoolâŠ
