Chapter 221: Chapter 221- Abilities That Shock the Crowd (3)

The reason why Elder Du was so surprised to the point where he did something that was unlike him, was because when he probed the young man’s cauldron with his soul energy, he sensed the pill forming and taking shape slowly.

That’s right, the explosion earlier was not the indication of a refinement failure but the evidence of pill forming.

However, how could that be? Not to mention arriving at the last process by getting all the steps right, just trying to purify the ingredients and getting their essence, should have burned down all the ingredients due to the intensity of the flames.

However, to his surprise, the young man not only successfully extracted their essence, he even coagulated the liquid together and was now trying to form the pill.

Impossible? Extraordinary? Elder Du didn’t know what to think anymore. The young man who he thought had overestimated at first, turned his expectations into disappointment when they refused to refine anything and simply sat there doing nothing.

However, afterwards, when they began refining, not only did they demonstrate a highly advanced skill that he thought would certainly lead to failure, but it turned out to be a success. Moreover, the pill was already in its final phase of completion.

Overestimation? No, the word itself was like an underestimation of the youth’s ability.

Not only had he proved him wrong but he had also proven to everyone present inside the hall that he was heads and shoulders above them when it came to understanding the alchemy and refining pills.

HUFF... Taking a deep breath, Elder Du finally sat down on his seat. Though from his bearing and temperament, one could see how much of a state of shock he was in.

"Elder Du what’s wrong?" Song Ming asked repeating himself.

"Ming, I think our Yan City Alchemist Association branch is about to welcome a monstrous genius that only appears once in a thousand years"

This time, he got a response from the elder. However, the response he got, made him even more confused.

What did Elder Du notice for him to act and say those words? Their Yan City Alchemist Association is about to welcome a Monstrous Genius.

Who could this genius be? Song Zhen?

No, that incompetent nephew of his was anything but that. However, other than him there was no other participant in this hall who was close to refining a pill.

All the other refiner were still struggling with the early processes and kept on exploding their cauldron. Being just a tier 2 Alchemist, Song Ming was unable to see what was going on inside Yang Chen’s cauldron.

This led him to believe that only Song Zhen was close to refining a pill.

Could it be that Elder Du was impressed by his nephew’s skill? That could be the case after all, the latter did not know that he had leaked the pill recipe to his nephew a few days ago before the exam.

By now, they had practically memorised every step by hard. As could be seen, he was the only one amongst all the participants who is able to get so many steps right and arrive at the last process.

Whoosh... at this moment, Song Zhen who was completely immersed in the refinement, suddenly snuffed the flames around his cauldron and slowly lowered his hands.

A thick medicinal aroma came out of his cauldron, attracting the attention of every participant present.

Hehe, as if enjoying their gaze on him, Song Zhen’s chest swelled with pride. Then in the next second, in a conspicuous and ostensible manner, he gestured with his finger and a pea sized pill came out from inside the cauldron and landed on his palm.

Needless to say, the fact that he managed to form a pill, meant that he was successful in his refinement.

Was this for real? Song Zhen who was known as a fool for failing the tier 1 exam nine times, had finally successfully refined a pill in an exam.

The participants who had known him for the longest, couldn’t believe their eyes. However, no matter how they rubbed their eyes or refused to believe it, the evidence was right in front of them.

After nine consecutive failures, Song Zhen was finally going to pass the exam and become a tier 1 alchemist.

All eyes gathered focused on him as he slowly walked towards the two administrators seated up front.

One of the administrators who was his uncle, looked at him with a disguised amusement. The latter had done so much for him, how could he fail after this?

Feeling that he had redeemed himself after successfully refining the pill on his second attempt, he was just about to present it to them for examination, when suddenly a commotion erupted behind him.

At the third row, just adjacent to the desk from Song Zhen’s, another cauldron released a thick medicinal aroma that was many times greater than the former.

The crowd gasped once again after they saw a pill coming out. This time though, the commotion that erupted was many times louder than when Song Zhen refined a pill.

The reason for this was because the person who refined the pill was not another middle aged man but the youth who they met in front of the examination hall.

How did he manage to refine a pill after throwing all of his ingredients into the cauldron all at once? In front of the astonished eyes of the participants around him, Yang Chen walked to the forefront of the hall and stood in front of the Administrators, right beside Song Zhen.

"You?! What are you doing here?! Only those people who have refined a pill are allowed to come here. Don’t tell me you don’t even know that?" The latter spoke with a mocking smile.

Since his back was facing the participants, he was thus unaware of the fact that Yang Chen had just refined a pill and was holding it inside the palm of his hand.
