Chapter 340 The Victor
Seeing Leng Yun's dazzling skills, Luo Xu and Elder Qin, who were also alchemists, rushed over in surprise.
Even they themselves don't possess such abilities.
Luo Xu's face was somewhat pale; for some reason, he felt a sense of defeat.
Before long, energy fluctuations emanated from both of their alchemy furnaces simultaneously, the flames disappeared, and the pills were successfully refined.
The audience held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the stage.
Elder Qin first took the pill from Luo Xu and examined it carefully for a while: "Hmm, it's perfect, still a perfect pill!"
Upon hearing this, a cheer immediately erupted from the crowd.
Afterwards, Leng Yun handed his pills to Elder Qin.
Elder Qin took it and examined it carefully, just as meticulously.
"Huh?" Elder Qin exclaimed in confusion, his expression somewhat strange. "At first glance, this pill seems to be a perfect pill, but there is a strange feeling about it."
Elder Qin seemed to be talking to himself.
“Since there’s a strange feeling, it means there’s still a problem with how this pill was made. Let’s declare Luo Xu the winner,” Mu Daqing suddenly said.
Before Leng Yun could express his opinion, Elder Qin shook his head: "That's too hasty. Since I can't tell the difference, we should use a generally accepted method to determine good from bad."
The generally accepted method is to use magical beasts to distinguish the quality of elixirs.
Although the Black Spirit Pill is a highly poisonous elixir, there is a type of third-grade magical beast called the Three-flowered Rat that is extremely fond of it.
Before long, a three-spotted mouse was brought onto the stage.
Leng Yun and Luo Xu placed their pills on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, each five meters away from the Three-Flower Rat.
As soon as the three-flowered rat was placed on the arena, it smelled the elixir and became somewhat excited.
Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, Mu Daqing walked up to Luo Xu.
He whispered, "Don't worry, I've already tampered with the plates. The plate from Thousand Mile Road can block the smell of the pills. You're guaranteed to win."
The two exchanged a glance and revealed sinister smiles.
"Hmph, fine, no one can stop our plan!" Luo Xu sneered.
Although the two spoke softly, Leng Yun could still hear them clearly.
Leng Yun turned to look at the two people plotting.
The latter, however, stared at Leng Yun without backing down, as if to say, "Even if you heard me, what can you do about it?"
Leng Yun snorted softly but didn't say anything. He was wondering what these two were plotting.
Immediately afterward, Elder Qin gave an order, and the disciples released the three-flowered rat.
The three-flowered rat took a few steps forward, but stopped at the fork in the road between the two pills.
It sniffed the left side, then the right side, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, it went without hesitation toward the pill on the right. That pill was the Black Spirit Pill that Leng Yun had refined!
When the three-spotted mouse got close, it was clear that it was already drooling.
The outcome is clear: Leng Yun has emerged victorious!
"How is that possible? Is the plate not working properly?!" Mu Daqing exclaimed in surprise, muttering to himself.
Luo Xu was also somewhat shocked. He had been regarded as a genius in alchemy since childhood and rarely had any rivals. However, this freshman named 'Qianlilu' was unable to defeat him even when he cheated!
Thinking of this, Luo Xu couldn't help but glance at Leng Yun a few more times, wondering who he really was!
The surrounding audience was so surprised that they forgot to cheer. They watched quietly as the three-spotted mouse prepared to feast. No one expected the final result to be like this.
"Hmph! You beast!" Enraged, Mu Daqing unleashed a black force that shot directly into the body of the three-spotted rat.
"Woo!"
The poor chipmunk only had time to let out a single, pitiful cry before collapsing to the ground and dying.
Leng Yun glanced at Mu Daqing. His ruthless and indiscriminate killing made Leng Yun feel disgusted.
Elder Qin, who was standing to the side, spoke first: "The Three-Flower Rat chose a superior elixir, so why did Protector Mu do this?"
Mu Daqing snorted.
"How could this be? Could it be that my pills are inferior to those refined by a freshman?!" Luo Xu still looked incredulous.
Elder Qin smiled and said, "Luo Xu, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"What did you see?" Luo Xu asked.
Elder Qin glanced at Leng Yun and said calmly, "The reason why Qianli Lu risked changing the flame during the pill's formation process was because the purple flame burned away the evil elements in the poison, making the pill purer and exceeding the standard of perfection."
Upon hearing Elder Qin's words, everyone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Leng Yun hadn't expected that Elder Qin was quite capable, as he was able to see this.
"While his success was partly due to his luck in possessing two flames that ordinary people could not achieve at the same time, it was mostly due to his courage," Elder Qin continued. "I think even I myself would not dare to change the flame during the formation of the elixir."
Elder Qin's words convinced everyone, and the surrounding audience couldn't help but applaud Leng Yun enthusiastically.
Amidst a tidal wave of cheers, Mu Daqing and Luo Xu quietly left the arena.
However, no one paid attention to them, because everyone's eyes were on Leng Yun.
"Please come in, the Grand Wizard is waiting for you in the room," Elder Qin said kindly to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun nodded and followed Elder Qin away from the arena. They walked along a path from Linglong Pavilion for about ten minutes until they arrived at a secluded bamboo forest.
A small bamboo house is built on a green field, with a small river in front of it, creating an elegant and unique environment.
"You're here? Come in."
Before Leng Yun and Elder Qin could speak, a very old voice came from inside the house.
The great wizard was indeed incredibly powerful.
"Please," Elder Qin said, and then respectfully withdrew.
Leng Yun walked slowly into the bamboo house alone.
Inside the bamboo house, there was a peculiar herbal scent. The light was dim, and an old man dressed in black, leaning on a flower-patterned cane, was looking at Leng Yun with a kind expression.
"You—you are the Great Wizard?" Leng Yun asked. He hadn't expected that the renowned Great Wizard of Southern Xinjiang would be such a frail old man.
The high wizard nodded and smiled kindly, "If I'm not mistaken, your real name should be Leng Yun."
Leng Yun was taken aback, not expecting that the great wizard would have such supernatural powers, recognizing his identity at a glance.
He made no attempt to hide anything and stated directly, "That's right, I am Leng Yun. I've come to Southern Xinjiang this time on some business—"
Before Leng Yun could finish speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted outside!
