But this time, Yang Xiu did not look at Tong Wenchang’s jade slips. He plunged his divine sense into Ye Yuan’s jade slip at the first moment.
After several breaths, amazement was written all over Yang Xiu’s face!
“Elder Yang, can it be that Ji Qing’s answer . . .”
Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, “You guys take a look yourselves.”
As he said, Yang Xiu passed Ye Yuan’s jade slip to that Alchemy King elder.
After the Alchemy King elder finished looking at it, he murmured to himself, “This . . . How is this possible?”
After the seven elders finished looking at it, the expression on their faces was practically identical.
Everyone knew that Tong Wenchang’s jade slip completely did not need to be looked at anymore.
But out of a responsible attitude, after being shocked for a long time, the seven elders still endured looking over Tong Wenchang’s jade slip.
However, their expressions when they were looking at Tong Wenchang’s jade slip was with complete nonchalance.
Evidently, after finish reading Ye Yuan’s jade slip, they already found it tasteless.
“The second match, deconstructing medicinal pills, Ji Qing fully deconstructed the components of all ten medicinal pills, and he answered all the questions correctly! This match, Xiao Family’s Ji Qing, victorious!” Yang Xiu finally announced the results.

Buzz!
The word victorious was like a sledgehammer that smashed onto Tong Wenchang’s chest, making him feel stifled.
All correct!
How was this possible?
Could it be that Ye Yuan knew the complete pill formula for these ten medicinal pills?
If not for this case, how could he possibly deconstruct all of the components?
Tong Wenchang’s mind was in a disorderly mess. Ye Yuan won two matches in a row like he performed extraordinarily well today. This was too great of a blow to him.
He was the Tong Family’s number one genius, a legendary figure among the junior generation!
Not that he could not take losses, but this manner of defeat really made him unable to accept it!
The answers that he went through innumerable difficulties and racked his brains for did not even come close to him.
Furthermore, from start to end, Ye Yuan did not even look at the questions and just directly submitted the answers!
This way of winning was too abnormal and also too heavy of a blow!
Right at this moment, it was only to hear Yang Xiu said slowly, “I know that everybody might have doubts about this result. So I’ll order someone to seal up all the medicinal pills present and these two jade slips. If anyone has objections, they can go to the Wind Emperor to request to open the seal or pay a sufficient price to the Alchemist Association.”
These ten medicinal pills were all exclusively owned by the Alchemist Association. In order to not let the pill formula leak out, one naturally had to pay an adequate price to be able to view it.
If it were a normal circumstance, this price naturally would not be too great.
But the problem was that Ye Yuan deconstructed all the components of the medicinal pills without missing a single one. This way, the possibility of the pill formulas leaking out would increase dramatically.
Hence, if the Tong Family wished to view Ye Yuan’s jade slip, the price they had to pay would surely be hard to imagine.
Up to this point, this crucial yet unsuspenseful competition actually had a drama-like change.
Ye Yuan secured two matches like a wild wind sweeping away fallen leaves, beating the Tong Family’s number one genius, a low-rank Quasi-Alchemy King Tong Wenchang, until he could not even raise his head.
Previously, everyone thought that the Xiao Family would become a bygone after today. But Ye Yuan’s sudden emergence forcefully dragged the Xiao Family back!
Now, the Xiao Family already firmly suppressed the Tong Family by a head. As long as Ye Yuan did not lose too horribly in the final match, the Xiao Family could take back 70% of the medicinal pill market’s management rights anew!
Xiao Changfeng looked at Ye Yuan’s back view and actually felt a chill run down his back.
Yes. An Alchemy King expert shuddered at an Alchemy Grandmaster!
He finally understood now what that sentence Ye Yuan said prior to this meant.
To beat Tong Wenchang until he had no confidence to refine pills. This statement sounded very laughable, but looking at it now, Tong Wenchang might really get a psychological obstacle in alchemy.
This kind of simple, yet crude winning method was enough to utterly crush the opponent’s confidence.
If Tong Wenchang were unable to walk out from the shadow of today’s defeat, then his accomplishments in this lifetime would probably end here.
But when a person’s confidence was completely crushed, how could it be easy to find it again?
Such a method that destroyed one’s opponent was even crueler than killing him directly.
How in the world did Tong Wenchang offend Ji Qing that the latter would actually use such a cruel manner to crush his confidence?
Xiao Changfeng dared to confirm that Ye Yuan completely did not have this intention before coming. Deciding to do so should be a sudden thought.
Xiao Changfeng remained puzzled after pondering over it!
Just what kind of a freak did my girl find? Xiao Changfeng unwittingly laughed wryly in his heart.
Xiao Changfeng was originally the most worried person among everyone about the final match.
But now, he had inexplicable confidence in Ye Yuan!
He felt that Ye Yuan could definitely defeat Tong Wenchang in refining pills!
Because to want to thoroughly crush Tong Wenchang’s confidence, this third match was the most crucial one!
. . . . . .
“The third match, the medicinal pill that the two of you will be refining is the Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill, Explosive Rising Dragon Pill!” Yang Xiu said.
When his voice fell, the surroundings burst into an uproar all at once.
“Oh my God! It’s actually the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill! This . . . This is seriously crazy!”
“The Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is known as an emperor-like existence among Tier 3 medicinal pills. It was not because of its medicinal effect but because of its refining difficulty!”
“Yeah. The Explosive Rising Dragon Pill’s requirement towards soul force is exceedingly high! Up until now, I’ve never heard of any Alchemy Grandmasters that refined the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill before!”
“Tong Wenchang was utterly defeated in two matches. This match, he finally saw a bit of hope! In the case of the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill, the advantage that he has is too great!”
The Explosive Rising Dragon Pill’s pill formula was not really precious. Many major factions had it. But its refining difficulty was seriously too high!
Those who could refine the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill were all Quasi-Alchemy King strength and above!
Even low-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings would also find it very taxing to refine this medicinal pill.
As for an Alchemy Grandmaster, this medicinal pill was impossible to refine!
“Hahaha!” When Tong Wenchang heard the contents of the final match, he started laughing madly. “Ji Qing, even the heaven is helping me! I want to see just how you’ll refine this medicinal pill that is unsolvable to Alchemy Grandmasters!”
Ye Yuan did not pay attention to him. He still sat there with his eyes closed to rest his mind, with an appearance like this matter did not concern him.
Tong Wenchang finally managed to find a bit of superiority sense and wanted to deal a good blow to Ye Yuan. But his fist landed on cotton, making him very depressed.
Tong Fangshuo could not help frowning when he saw the situation and finally could not sit still anymore.
“Wenchang, come ove
r here!” Tong Fangshuo said solemnly.
Tong Wenchang was startled and came before Tong Fangshuo. “Father!”
“Wenchang, this boy is very abnormal, and his strength is formidable. You mustn’t lower your guard! This third match concerns our Tong Family’s next ten years’ fortunes. The load on your shoulders is very heavy!” Tong Fangshuo said.
Tong Wenchang broke into a sweat and hurriedly said, “Wenchang knows. Father, please put your heart at ease!”
Tong Fangshuo sighed lightly and said, “How do you want me to feel at ease when you’re like this? Didn’t you notice that you’ve been completely brought into his rhythm by that kid?”
Tong Wenchang’s hairs stood on its ends from fear, and he broke into a cold sweat.
“But . . . that punk . . .”
“I know! That’s why I didn’t say anything when you lost the first two matches! This kid’s knowledge in the Alchemy Path is extremely solid. He probably grew up in a medicine garden from a young age! But no matter how amazing he is, he’s also just a 16-years-old youth! Do you . . . understand?” Tong Fangshuo said.
“Father’s meaning is . . .”
“Solid fundamental skills is Ji Qing’s greatest advantage but also his greatest disadvantage! The Alchemy Path has never had a shortcut that can be taken. Without copious amount of severe training and practice, there’s no way to have any sort of accomplishments! He’s only 16. How formidable do you think he can be when he’s truly refining pills?”
Tong Wenchang’s eyes lit up and said in delight, “Father’s meaning is that this Ji Qing, his theoretical knowledge is extremely powerful, so it delayed actual practice instead?”
Tong Fangshuo nodded slightly and said, “That’s right! If it was some other medicinal pill, then forget it. But this Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is immensely advantageous to you! You just have to refine the pill according to your own rhythm. Forget all about the first two match’s defeat. This match, you can definitely turn defeat into victory!”

When he came back again, Tong Wenchang’s emotion was much more stable.
Looking at Ye Yuan who was still closing his eyes and resting, he sneered coldly and returned back to his operating platform.
“The third match, begin!”
Tong Wenchang did not start right away but took a deep breath to calm his mind before he started to portion the medicine.
The medicinal herbs were already prepared. The alchemist just needed to dispense it according to the pill formula, then refined it into a medicinal embryo, and that would do. This was naturally not something difficult for Tong Wenchang.
Soon enough, Tong Wenchang finished dispensing the medicinal herbs but then he took a look at Ye Yuan on some devilish impulse.
With this glance, he involuntarily had an impulse to spew blood again.
Ye Yuan this fellow was actually closing his eyes to rest again!
He had been bustling about for a long time, and Ye Yuan actually had not started work yet!
My God, dp you really have to posture like that?
The first time was like this, the second time like this, and the third time was still like this!
“Ignore him! Ignore him! I just have to do things according to my own rhythm! He’s only a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, it’s impossible to refine the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill!” Tong Wenchang repeatedly exhorted himself.
After reciting it silently for ten times, Tong Wenchang’s emotions finally stabilized somewhat.
This time, he swore to never look at Ye Yuan again!
. . . . . .
Roughly an hour later, Tong Wenchang’s refinement of the medicine embryo was already drawing to an end.
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan finally moved!
He came before the operating platform and directly crushed and mixed the spirit medicines together. Then he started refining the medicinal embryo straight away!
“T-There’s such dispensement of medicine? He . . . He doesn’t even weigh it out?”
“F*ck me! Today, I’ve really broadened my horizons! If this Ji Qing can refine out the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill like this, then us, these Quasi-Alchemy Kings, really need to go jump into the river and kill ourselves!”
“You should hold your words back a little. This Ji Qing has already consecutively created two miracles in a row. You’re certain that he can’t create another miracle?”
. . . . . .
Hand-grabbing style of medicine portioning once again astonished everyone.
But Ye Yuan already fully entered a state at this time, and was utterly unconcerned with everything in the outside world.
Next was refining the medicinal embryo. It was only to see Ye Yuan’s fingers moved like phantoms, completing the refinement of the medicinal embryo with extreme speed!
Everyone was taken aback from shock. Ye Yuan actually completed refining the medicinal embryo at the same time as Tong Wenchang!
This . . . What skill level was this?!
“I’ve really increased my knowledge today! Turns out that prepping the medicine and refining the medicinal embryo can actually be done like this!”
“Heh heh, previously, I was still worried that Ji Qing’s skill in actual practice would be lacking. Now, looks like this worry was totally undue.”
“Yeah. If preparing the materials and refining the medicinal embryo are both fine, then Ji Qing is really too heaven-defying!”
“Whether there’s an issue or not, we’ll know in a while! If the portioning ratio is wrong, even if Ji Qing is the reincarnation of a divine Buddha, it’s also not possible to refine out a finished medicinal pill. En? He’s starting!”
Everyone held their breaths, wanting to see if any shocking actions would appear once again when Ye Yuan was refining the pill.
Ye Yuan naturally would not disappoint them!
“Tri-Origins Samsara Art! Activate!”
The furnace fire rose sharply. Ye Yuan’s figure vanished from the original spot!
At the same time, Sovereign Star Abyss who had his eyes shut all along snapped open his eyes abruptly and stared fixedly in Ye Yuan’s direction!
“What refining method is this? So formidable!”
“Simply unheard of! How is this refining pills? This is simply performing movement technique!”
“No, wait; I feel that Ji Qing’s refining method is very extraordinary! Did you guys see clearly? In the process of Ji Qing revolving his skill, he’s actually hitting out one seal after another constantly!”
“Of course I saw that! But does firing out seals like this has any benefits in forming the pill?”
“Don’t know. But have you noticed? When he circles one round around the medicinal cauldron, he only fires out seals at three fixed points!”
“It really is true!”
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan already had a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force at this time. Executing the Tri-Origins Samsara Art again was way easier compared to at the Spirit Condensation Realm.
His current movement technique was faster compared to before. The seals were already grasped more soundly and accurately!
Gradually, a peculiar atmosphere undulated out in the hall.
Under everyone’s eyes, Ye Yuan’s figure became increasingly slower and progressively clearer, just like the scene was playing in slow motion.
Of course, even if it was in slow motion, Ye Yuan’s figure was still very swift. Because his movements were too quick.
Everyone felt like it was pleasing to the eyes and mind. Ye Yuan’s refining process was as if a form of art in their perspective!
They were rapt in the ecstasy of it; it was like they were drunk or dreaming.
Under such a condition, time flew by swiftly.
An hour went by in a flash. Then Ye Yuan cried out lightly, “Condense!”
At this instant, the medicinal cauldron was actually enveloped by a
multi-colored light; it was persisting for a long time without dissipating!
The entire place was deathly quiet as if time had stopped. Only Tong Wenchang’s actions with sweat pouring down his face made people feel like time was still flowing.
Except that compared to Ye Yuan’s refinement process, Tong Wenchang’s refinement was just like a clown act. It was without any aesthetic sense to speak of.
For a good long while, no idea who said the word ‘legendary,’ which shattered this death-like silence.
“Legendary Realm! This is the Legendary Realm! My God, I didn’t think that I could actually see the Legendary Realm in my remaining years!”
“Too marvelous! Refining pills, this sort of dry and dull thing was actually given such a wonderful sense of beauty by Ji Qing! Truly too unbelievable!”
. . . . . .
After the silence, sounds of exclamations sounded out all around.
The few Alchemy King elders at the top seats all exchanged glances. They saw from the other party’s eyes amazement and . . . envy!
Yes. As an alchemist, this was the realm that they chased after all their life!
They never would have expected that such a realm would actually appear on a 16-year-old youth!
“I’m done,” Ye Yuan nonchalantly said a sentence. He then returned back to his seat to close his eyes and rest.
While on the other side, Tong Wenchang was still risking his life to refine the pill.
He had also entered his own state and was completely oblivious to Ye Yuan’s performance. He naturally did not know either that everyone was all using sympathetic eyes to look at him.
After another hour, Tong Wenchang completed the pill refinement.
“Hahaha! My Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is at the very least middle-grade! Maybe even possibly high-grade! Ji Qing, you’ll lose this match for sure!”
Tong Wenchang clearly had yet to detect his own situation, laughing wildly after forming the pill.
But he soon discovered that the atmosphere was not quite right.
“En? What’s going on? Why are you all looking at me with those eyes? What I refined is a middle-grade, maybe even high-grade Explosive Rising Dragon Pill! Even among low-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings, only a few can refine it, right?” Tong Wenchang was rather baffled.
