In an instant, the noisy plaza quietened down.
The Wangs, the Zhao family, and the Lin family all stared at the skillful young man on the stage as if they had seen a ghost.
What was going on?
Didn't Ning Yue fail to make the qi-gathering elixir? How could he refine it again in such a short time?
Smack!
"Good!" Ning Hai's eyes welled up with tears as he slammed his palm on the chair beneath him. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh and blood oozing out.
The Ning family clenched their fists in agitation. The fire in their hearts that had just been extinguished was reignited once again!
This young man who was the pride of the Ning family, this talented young man, this strong young man, had always been the hope of the Ning family's rise!
"Hmph! Don't get ahead of yourself. You're only at Body Tempering Stage Five, and you want to refine a qi-gathering elixir again in such a short time? You're dreaming! "
Just then, the patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Zhen, snorted coldly and said mockingly, "There's still time for a stick of incense to burn. If your son is not one of the first five to refine a qi-gathering elixir, then the Ning family will have nothing to show for the five spots in the Icy Cave!"
Bang!
Just as Lin Zhen's words sounded, the second genius of the Lin Clan, Lin Yang, placed a crystal clear liquid into a jade bottle on a high platform in the middle of the plaza under the gazes of the crowd.
"It's already four. Can Ning Yue be the fifth one to refine a qi-gathering elixir?"
"Difficult, very difficult. Based on the current situation, even if Ning Yue is unharmed, it will be difficult for him to be the fifth one to refine a qi-gathering elixir."
"Yes, Lin Shun of the Lin family is already extracting the liquid, and Ning Yue has just started. In my opinion, the fifth one to refine a qi-gathering elixir will definitely be Lin Shun!"
"Hehe, if they can't get a spot in the Icy Cave assessment, then the Ning family is really going to be shaved bald."
"Of course. After all, Ning Xuan has the highest cultivation among the younger generation of the Ning family. However, he is only at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten. He is still a distance away from the Elementary Realm."
"Ning Yue's current actions are nothing more than a last-ditch struggle." Looking at the young man who was still working hard on the stage, most people shook their heads, certain that the Ning family was doomed this time.
Ignoring the discussions around him, Ning Yue quickly extracted each herb and placed them into the small jade bottle in front of him.
After refining all the medicinal herbs into liquid, Ning Yue looked at the five small jade bottles in front of him and took a deep breath. His eyes narrowed and his wrists moved quickly.
In the next moment, the five small jade bottles on the high platform were all poured into the pill furnace!
"Hahaha, looks like Ning Yue's brain has gone haywire. Throwing five herbs into the furnace at the same time? Isn't he afraid of his Dan exploding? "
"Heh heh, we'd better stay away from him. If the explosion of the pill furnace affects us, then the gains will not make up for the losses."
"That's right, let's get away from him quickly!"
In an instant, only a few bold people were left near the round stage where Ning Yue was.
The rest of the people chose to stay away.
"Combining five medicinal herbs at the same time … Although this can save time, if the strength of one's Soul Power is not strong enough, the Dan will explode if it's light, and if it's heavy, one's life will be in danger …" Looking at Ning Yue's crazy actions on the high platform, an experienced first-grade Alchemist muttered to himself.
"Heh heh, Ning Hai, I have to say that Ning Yue is really a genius. He is bold but meticulous. This kid will definitely achieve great things in the future!" Wang Qinian smiled as he gave Ning Hai a thumbs up.
"Sigh, Brother Qinian, you can't say that. After all, Ning Yue is the most talented alchemist in Tianxuan City. It's inevitable that he will achieve great things in the future." Waving his hand, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Lie, teased, "Who knows, he might be able to enter Danwu College this time and become a carp that leaps through the dragon's gate."
"You two, it's not a good idea to add insult to injury, is it?"
Lin Zhen's expression turned cold. The first half of his sentence was fine, but he suddenly changed the topic and said with a sinister smile, "If you want to mock him, you should at least wait until Lin Shun has refined the qi-gathering elixir. Otherwise, people will say that we don't see the big picture and are just bragging."
"Hahaha …"
Ning Hai's face was ashen. If Ning Yue's actions had given them confidence, then his current actions had completely destroyed their confidence!
Combining five medicinal herbs at the same time was a difficult task that even a first-grade Alchemist would find hard to accomplish!
"Sigh, I originally thought that the Young Master could help the Ning family obtain a place in the Icy Cave assessment, but now it seems that it's basically impossible …" Sighing lightly and looking at the solemn youth on the high platform, Head Elder Ning Tang of the Ning family realized that he had said the wrong thing and corrected himself, "It's going to be a little difficult."
"Hahaha, good-for-nothing is indeed good-for-nothing. If he can refine the qi-gathering elixir, I'll write my name backwards!" Looking at the youth who was messing around on the high platform, Lin Feng of the Lin family laughed sinisterly.
Among the younger generation of Tianxuan City, in terms of martial prowess, he was undoubtedly a genius.
He had broken through to the Acquired Stage at such a young age.
Furthermore, his talent in alchemy was not low, and he was only one step away from successfully passing the assessment and becoming a first-grade Alchemist.
But even though his talent in alchemy was very high, in Tianxuan City, there was still a youth who was even more talented than him!
That was Ning Yue!
No matter what medicinal herb he refined, Ning Yue would always be one step ahead of him, and the quality would always be slightly higher.
"Hmph! With the Poisoned Blood Powder in your body, even if you have godly abilities, you will not be able to refine the qi-gathering elixir! "With a cold grunt, Lin Feng was a hundred percent confident that Ning Yue would definitely fail in his refinement!
"Lin Feng, congratulations. This time, Ning Yue has finally fallen from his pedestal. From now on, in Tianxuan City, you are undoubtedly a genius!" Wang Tao cupped his fists and laughed.
"That's right, it looks like you are determined to pass the Danwu College assessment this time," Zhao Xuan echoed, "After you enter Danwu College, don't forget about us."
"Sure, sure," The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up as he replied casually.
After all, with the incident with the Poisoned Blood Powder, without the help of Zhao Xuan and the rest, it would have been difficult for him to succeed.
"That lad Lin Shun is finally going to refine the qi-gathering elixir …"
Glancing at the youth on the other side of the high platform, whose eyes were tightly shut, Lin Feng could not conceal the excitement on his face and became more and more unbridled.
In the plaza, countless gazes were directed towards Lin Shun. Everyone wanted to know whether Lin Shun would be able to refine the qi-gathering elixir at the last moment.
As for Ning Yue, he was completely ignored.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound slowly rang out in the plaza. Lin Shun slapped the cauldron and the qi-gathering elixir within shot out.
"Bang!"
However, at this moment, the youth on the other side suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the cauldron heavily with his palm.
Kacha!
In the next moment, the lid of the elixir flew off and the cauldron exploded!
