Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Has This Kid Gone Crazy?

Hearing Yun He’s words, Xue Yun was dumbfounded.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Fine, I’ll try again!"

He had just been promoted to a high-level alchemist, so he could guarantee the success rate of producing lower quality elixirs, but the chance of achieving a medium quality elixir was simply up to luck.

During this attempt, he gave it his all, exerting his utmost effort in each step, fearing any mistake.

Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to create it.

The elixir that came out of the furnace was still a lower quality Soul-Stabilizing Elixir.

"Again!"

Xue Yun’s face had trouble remaining composed, and with a low growl, he began the alchemy process anew.

However, the previous two attempts had already consumed a great deal of his energy, and he was struggling to keep up as soon as he began the third.

By the final step, Xue Yun’s face was pale, his head drenched in sweat, and even his hands were trembling.

"Be careful!"

Ning Fan had been closely watching his alchemy, and upon seeing him falter, quickly warned him.

At the same time, he leaped forward, swatting the alchemy furnace away with a palm.

"What are you doing?!"

Xue Yun was immediately enraged, turning to glare at Ning Fan: "I was just about to succeed, why did you interrupt me?"

Boom!

As soon as his words ended, the alchemy furnace that had flown a distance suddenly exploded in midair.

The charred remnants of the medicinal ingredients scattered in all directions, falling to the ground and emitting a burnt odor.

Xue Yun stared blankly at the materials on the ground, his complexion shifting unpredictably.

If it weren’t for Ning Fan, he wouldn’t have had the time to dodge the explosion of the furnace.

The power of an explosion involving a furnace full of spiritual medicines would be no small matter; he would have been severely injured if not killed.

He bit his teeth but didn’t express any gratitude. Instead, he barked sharply: "Damn it! If it weren’t for you, I would have successfully concocted the elixir just now!"

Failure was not an option; it definitely must have been because this youngster interfered that he failed.

Ning Fan scoffed. "Is that so? There’s one more set of ingredients here. Do you want to try again?"

"Try I shall, how could I possibly fail!"

As Xue Yun reached for the ingredients,

Yun He and Wei Tianyuan, scared by his gesture, hurriedly stopped him.

"Um... Master Xue, maybe you should rest a bit first? You must be tired after concocting so many elixirs," Wei Tianyuan said somewhat tactfully.

"Stop concocting, can you even do it? There’s only one set of medicinal ingredients left, do you know how difficult it was to gather these?" Master Yun He was more direct.

Xue Yun’s face went through a series of changes as he knew he was in the wrong, but was too proud to admit it: "Please trust me, I can definitely make it."

At that moment, Ning Fan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Let’s stop this, I’ll do it."

"You?" Xue Yun looked at him with a disdainful expression. "Boy, don’t take on a task beyond your ability without the diamond drills to do it, do you know how many years of mastery it takes to concoct a medium-quality top-grade elixir?"

"I was learning to concoct elixirs when you weren’t even born yet! And you think you can do it? It’s utterly ignorant!"

Ning Fan responded indifferently, "Then can you make it?"

Xue Yun fell silent, unable to find words to counter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the concoction of this elixir is not difficult. If you trust me, let me handle the last set of ingredients," Ning Fan turned to the others and said solemnly.

At these words, Yun He and the others all showed expressions of hesitation.

The current alchemy ingredients had been scraped together from the Fuguang Sect’s medicinal library.

If the last set of ingredients was also ruined, it would take at least a day or more to gather another set.

According to Master Yun He, Wei Qiuwan must take the Soul-Stabilizing Elixir within three days, or there would be no more hope.

If they failed this time and the next attempt failed as well, Wei Qiuwan would be beyond saving.

"This..." Master Yun He turned to Wei Tianyuan, "I’ll have to ask Sect Master Wei to make a decision."

He was only responsible for the treatment; it was actually Wei Tianyuan’s decision to make, as it concerned his own daughter.

Wei Tianyuan was silent for a long moment, glancing between Xue Yun and Ning Fan, his eyes struggling with indecision.

"Sect Master, this person is surely only a charlatan seeking attention, you must not trust him!" Xue Yun said through clenched teeth, "Please leave this last attempt to me, I’m definitely able to concoct it!"

If Ning Fan failed, it would be one thing; if Ning Fan succeeded, his own reputation would be utterly ruined!

Ning Fan offered no lengthy explanation, simply stating calmly, "If I fail to concoct it, I’m willing to exchange my life for hers."

At these words, everyone’s expressions changed.

Was he really staking his life as a guarantee?

Had this young man gone mad?

Wei Tianyuan, too, was visibly surprised, staring intently at Ning Fan for a long while, before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine, then I’ll entrust Daoist Xu with this."

Xue Yun found himself unable to argue further; after all, the man had put his life on the line as a guarantee. To say more would appear as if he didn’t want the patient to be treated.

"Daoist Xu, are you confident?" Xiong Lin asked quietly.
