As time passed, the medicinal fragrance from Ren Yang's cauldron grew thicker and thicker. On the other hand, Linlong's cauldron remained motionless.
There was no need for the spectators to see who was stronger at this point.
"Linlong is indeed here to go through the motions and embarrass himself."
"I never expected him to be this kind of person. For the sake of practice, he's even willing to throw away his own dignity."
"Poor junior sister Murong. She actually paid the contribution points for him."
"But this is good too. Junior sister Murong can clearly see what kind of person Linlong is."
While many people were discussing, many people who were on Ren Yang's side naturally began to shout excitedly.
"Young master Ren Yang, you can do it!"
"Young master Ren Yang, Linlong didn't refine any pills at all. You just need to be careful and work hard. Junior sister Murong will be yours."
"As expected of young master Ren Yang, you're one of the best among the new disciples."
…
Ren Yang, who was already full of confidence, became even more pleased with himself when he heard those voices.
However, he knew that he had to be even more calm at a time like this, otherwise, it was very likely that he would make a mistake. So even though he was extremely happy in his heart, he still stared unblinkingly at the tiny cauldron before him, and then he carefully controlled the flames below it.
Linlong, in just another ten minutes, you won't have the face to stay in the academy anymore. He thought proudly as he controlled the flames.
Just like that, another ten minutes passed. Just when Ren Yang was certain that he could refine the Mysterious Heart Pill with just one set of ingredients, a thick medicinal fragrance suddenly wafted over from the other side.
What's going on? Did Linlong refine the Mysterious Heart Pill? Ren Yang was shocked.
He instinctively wanted to look in Linlong's direction, but he suppressed that thought. He had already reached the most crucial step in his refinement. A single mistake would cause all his previous efforts to go to waste. He could not afford to be distracted at all.
That guy is probably taking out some pills. How could he possibly refine the Mysterious Heart Pill? Ren Yang finally calmed down when he thought of that. He then focused all his attention on controlling the flames in his hand.
Ren Yang was surprised, and so were the people below the arena. All of them looked at Linlong's cauldron at the first possible moment.
Many of them had the same thought as Ren Yang, thinking that Lin Long was deliberately mystifying and taking out some medicinal pill. However, they quickly realized that they were wrong, because Lin Long did not take out any medicinal pill at all. The medicinal fragrance was indeed coming from the small cauldron.
Could it be that Linlong had really refined the Mysterious Will Pill?
Such a shocking thought appeared in everyone's mind.
At this moment, Zheng Rong, who was equally shocked, stepped forward and stood in front of Linlong.
Lin Long smiled. With a slight shake of his right hand, a pill flew out of the cauldron and landed in his palm.
He handed the pill over and said to Zheng Rong, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng, please take a look."
Zheng Rong glanced at Linlong in bewilderment, then took the pill from Lin Long's palm. He looked at it seriously for a while, then nodded firmly. He then turned to the crowd below the arena and said, "Linlong has refined the Mysterious Will Pill first. Moreover, the Mysterious Will Pill is sparkling and translucent. It's overflowing with medicinal fragrance. It's definitely a high-grade pill."
The crowd below the arena burst into an uproar when they heard Zheng Rong's words. They had thought that Linlong would lose without a doubt. Who would have thought that the situation would take such a turn?
Murong Xue was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. However, her attention was completely focused on the arena, so she did not notice that she had lost her composure.
Aside from their shock, the crowd was also filled with questions. Throughout the entire process, Linlong's small cauldron had clearly not moved at all. On the other hand, Ren Yang's pill was overflowing with medicinal fragrance. How was it that Linlong had emerged victorious in the end?
Was there something fishy going on?
Some people even thought that Zheng Rong and Linlong had cooperated, and that Linlong had not been refining the pill at all during the entire process. Instead, he had first placed the Mysterious Will Pill, which had already been refined, into the small cauldron, and then pretended to succeed when the time was right.
It was no wonder that they thought that way. It did not seem like Linlong had been refining the Mysterious Will Pill during the entire process.
Even though Ren Yang's attention was completely focused on his small cauldron, he could still hear Zheng Rong's words.
He could not believe his ears, so he jerked his head up and looked at Zheng Rong. "Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong, what did you just say?"
"I said that Linlong had already refined the Mysterious Will Pill before you," said Zheng Rong indifferently.
He had seen the entire process clearly. Even though he did not know how Linlong had refined the Mysterious Will Pill, he was certain that Linlong had not done anything wrong. He had indeed refined the Mysterious Will Pill on his own.
"That's impossible. How could he have refined the Mysterious Will Pill?" Ren Yang immediately shouted.
At this time, he no longer cared about refining his own Wishful Mysterious Pill.
"Could it be that Ren Yang is questioning my judgment?" Zheng Rong's face immediately darkened.
"That's not it … It's just that, how could Linlong possibly concoct the Mysterious Will Heart Pill? You must know that there was no movement at all during the concoction process. How could he be concocting the Mysterious Will Heart Pill?"
"That's right. Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong, there was no movement during the refining process. How could he have refined the Mysterious Will Pill?"
Many people below the stage also spoke up for Ren Yang.
If it was not for Zheng Rong, they would have probably said that Linlong had cheated.
"Although I do not know how Junior Apprentice Brother Linlong refined the Mysterious Will Pill, I, Zheng Rong, can guarantee with my integrity that there was nothing fishy about Linlong's refining process. Moreover, everyone saw that Junior Apprentice Brother Linlong also used flames during the refining process. The flames burned under the small cauldron for such a long time. How could he have done anything wrong?" Zheng Rong said solemnly.
"Since Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong has said so, then it is indeed Linlong who refined it."
"I trust Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong. Moreover, Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong does not know Linlong. There is no need for him to do anything."
"I also trust Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong."
…
Most of the people below the stage also nodded. Zheng Rong's character in the academy was very good. Seeing that Zheng Rong had guaranteed with his integrity, they naturally believed him.
Just when everyone thought that the matter was settled, Ren Yang, who was at the side, roared with a red face and neck.
"What do you mean by your integrity? Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng Rong, you clearly cheated with Linlong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to refine the Mysterious Will Pill under such circumstances!"
If he lost, he would have to leave the academy. So how could he lose the competition in such a dubious manner?
