After unhurriedly and confidently mixing the ingredients, Liu Jingtong began to refine the Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill.
At the start of the refinement, he did not use an ordinary flame, but the Spiritual Fire on his body. This Spiritual Fire was not an ordinary Spiritual Fire, but one that was ranked on the Spiritual Fire List, the Shattering Flames.
In his opinion, he could defeat Lin Long with an ordinary flame. The reason why he used the Shattering Flames was naturally to show off to Lin Long, to the Lin family, and to Lin Shiyin.
He had recently paid a huge price to obtain this Spiritual Fire. Apart from a few members of the Liu family, no one else in Heavenly Stars City knew that he possessed this kind of Spiritual Fire.
Therefore, the moment he used it, a series of gasps immediately rang out.
"There's actually such a strange Spiritual Fire in this world. It looks like a shattered rock burning! What kind of Spiritual Fire is this? "
Many people cried out in surprise. They had never seen the Shattering Flames before, so they could not tell the origin of Liu Jingtong's Spiritual Fire. However, they faintly felt that this was definitely not an ordinary Spiritual Fire.
"You guys don't understand. This is the Shattering Flames." Those who knew about it immediately said proudly.
"Shattering Flames?"
"Could it be the Shattering Flames found in the endless lava of the Blazing Mountain?"
"This Shattering Flames is ranked 45th on the Spiritual Fire List!"
"45th? The Liu family actually found this kind of Spiritual Fire. This is too shocking! "
Now, the crowd immediately cried out in surprise. Although many of them did not know about the Shattering Flames, they knew how astonishing the might of the 45th ranked Spiritual Fire was.
When Lin Wei, who was standing behind Lin Long and Lin Shiyin, saw that Liu Jingtong actually used this kind of Spiritual Fire, his heart was even more biased towards the Liu family. He had already decided that no matter what, he would marry Lin Shiyin.
Hearing the astonished voices around him, Liu Jingtong became even more pleased. When he saw that Lin Long was still mixing the ingredients, he could not help but despise Lin Long in his heart.
This young master can't wait any longer. I'm going to refine the Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill to embarrass you! After sneering in his heart, Liu Jingtong immediately used the Shattering Flames to refine the Nine Revolutions Clear Heart Pill.
Liu Jingtong had even used such a powerful spiritual fire. Linlong was bound to lose. This thought flashed through many people's minds.
A single Shattering Flame was enough to shock the crowd, but Lin Long did not take it to heart. Subsequently, when he was refining the pill, he did not even use his spiritual fire. Instead, he used the ordinary flames that were specially used for refining pills.
The reason for this was firstly because Linlong knew that even if the other party used such a spiritual fire to increase the success rate of the refinement and shorten the refinement time, he still could not compare to him, who used simple steps to refine the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill.
Secondly, it was because Linlong did not want to reveal his Spiritual Fire so easily. Casually revealing some of his trump cards was sometimes not a wise decision.
After refining for a while, Liu Jingtong saw that Linlong was using ordinary flames. It was clear that he did not have any powerful spirit flames. Thus, Liu Jingtong became even more pleased with himself.
However, his expression soon turned ugly. Due to a moment of carelessness, the temperature had been too high, causing the medicinal ingredients in the small cauldron to smell burnt. He knew that if he continued to refine in this manner, it was very likely that he would not be able to condense the pill in the end. Thus, he could only start refining again.
Even so, he did not think that he would lose, because he still had two sets of ingredients that he could use. Given his abilities, he would definitely be able to refine a Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill.
Most importantly, Linlong had clearly made a mistake in the order in which he had placed the ingredients into the small cauldron.
'Trash, you even made a mistake in the order. How could you possibly refine the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill?' Liu Jingtong sneered in his heart.
His father and the others who knew how to refine the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill also watched the two people refining the pill with great confidence.
Everything went smoothly. The medicinal liquid of the second set of ingredients quickly fused together, and his control of the fire was even better than before.
As expected of my son. As long as nothing goes wrong, he will be able to refine the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill this time, Liu Jingtong's father, Liu Kangning, thought in his heart.
However, just as the people from the Liu family were feeling extremely pleased with themselves, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from Linlong's small cauldron.
This was clearly the prelude to the pill being refined.
What was going on? The expressions of the people from the Liu family immediately turned ugly when they smelled this scent. Even Liu Jingtong, who was already certain that he would be able to refine the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill, felt his heart skip a beat. He hurriedly looked in Linlong's direction.
However, at this crucial moment, he naturally did not dare to be too distracted. Hence, he only took a glance before focusing all his attention on his small cauldron.
Not long after, a muffled sound was heard. Linlong then lifted the lid of the small cauldron and gently swung it. A sparkling and translucent pill was immediately caught in his palm.
Subsequently, he placed the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill he had refined on a jade plate to the side.
Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on the jade plate.
The elixir on the jade plate had nine tiny halos of light. Furthermore, it gave off a unique fragrance, causing everyone present to be unable to help themselves from greedily inhaling this fragrance.
"It really is the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill."
There was no lack of experts who could identify pills. Hence, they could immediately tell that the pill Linlong had refined was indeed the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill. Furthermore, its quality was definitely not low. It was definitely a high-grade pill.
The amount of time he had used was evidently much shorter than Liu Jingtong's. Not only that, he had only used a single set of ingredients to create the Nine Turns Clear Heart Pill. Not only that, he had only used an ordinary flame. This Linlong's strength was clearly above Liu Jingtong's!
This thought emerged in the minds of the surrounding people. Some even began to discuss in low voices. Their gazes towards Linlong were filled with shock and praise.
The faces of the people from the Liu family turned green when they saw this. They could not understand how Linlong could refine the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill if he had used the wrong sequence. Furthermore, it was a high-grade pill.
As for Liu Jingtong, who had yet to successfully refine the pill, when he heard the commotion around him, his hand that was controlling the flames involuntarily trembled.
The Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill that Linlong refined seemed to be of high quality. I can't make any mistakes. I have to refine a Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill of higher quality! After all, Liu Jingtong was a talented alchemist. After thinking about this, he immediately calmed down and focused all his attention on the small cauldron in front of him.
Soon, Liu Jingtong also refined a Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill.
He also placed his Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill on the empty jade plate beside him.
The Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill that Liu Jingtong had refined seemed to be of high quality as well. If there was no comparison, it would definitely be praised by the crowd. However, compared to Linlong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill, Liu Jingtong's was far inferior.
Firstly, on the halo, the halo of Linlong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill appeared gentler and more elegant.
Secondly, in terms of fragrance, Linlong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill made one feel relaxed and happy. However, Liu Jingtong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill did not give off such a feeling.
Lastly, in terms of color, Linlong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill was more crystal clear. It seemed to have merged with the jade plate it was placed on. As for Liu Jingtong's, it was obvious that there were faint yellow impurities mixed in.
The differences in these three aspects were so obvious that even an ordinary person who had never come into contact with alchemy would be able to tell which one was better. There was no need for a professional alchemist to appraise the effects of a pill.
Liu Jingtong was originally very confident in his pill. After all, he had performed exceptionally this time, and the Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill he refined was several times better than before.
However, when he compared it to Linlong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill, the confidence and pride on his face immediately disappeared. He knew that he had lost.
However, how could he, who had the right timing, location, and people, lose? He could not understand.
This situation caused the Liu Clan to be completely silent.
At this moment, the three alchemists who had been selected to be the judges looked at each other and gave the same conclusion. Linlong's Nine Transformations Clear Heart Pill was better than Liu Jingtong's, and Linlong was the winner of this competition.
"Linlong wins!"
When such voices rang out in the hall, Linlong said to Liu Jingtong indifferently, "Young Master Liu, you have to be willing to admit defeat. Therefore, your engagement with Miss Lin Shiyin has been called off."
"No, it can't be called off. Linlong, you cheated!" At this moment, Liu Jingtong suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He had finally set up the engagement with great difficulty and was prepared to marry Lin Shiyin in two years. How could he be willing to give up just like this?
The rules were set by him, and the pill refined was also chosen by him. How could he still accuse others of cheating? When they heard him say this, everyone present looked at him very disdainfully.
However, in view of the Liu Clan's power, no one dared to speak at this moment.
"The rules were set by you, and the pill was also chosen by you. How is Young Master Liu cheating? I believe that everyone present is sensible and knows what is going on. If Young Master Liu wants to pester endlessly and pretend to be a fool, then I won't accompany you! "Linlong said with a cold smile.
After that, Liu Jingtong's face turned red and he was speechless. He wanted to accuse Linlong of everything, but the problem was that he couldn't find any evidence or reason.
"Alright, Miss Lin, your engagement with the Liu Clan has been called off. From today onwards, you have nothing to do with the Liu Clan." After that, Linlong looked at Lin Shiyin and smiled.
"Hold it!" At this moment, the Liu Clan Head, Liu Jingtong's father, Liu Kangning, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up.
"What?" Linlong looked at him without any fear.
"How can the engagement be called off just like that? The previous competition was just a joke between you kids. How can it be counted?" Liu Kangning said with a solemn expression.
The engagement with the Lin Clan was an opportunity for them to rule over Stellarsky City. How could Liu Kangning give it up so easily? Even if the Liu Clan was criticized by others for going back on their word, Liu Kangning wouldn't care.
