Chapter 2529: Chapter 2549: Why give this opportunity to Lin Chen?

Lin Chen, as soon as he stepped out the door, saw Shangguan Wenyin standing not far away in the corridor.

This kid, he sure has his ways.

It’s probably that a confidant in charge of safety from the Yuwen Family decided to betray them and followed Fan Tianxing. Otherwise, how could Shangguan Wenyin stand wherever he pleases?

He’s here, waiting for an opportunity to discuss with me.

In the eyes of others, Lin Chen seemed to be pacing in thought, but in fact, he was having a rapid conversation with Shangguan Wenyin not far away.

"Senior is also here?"

"Yes."

"You’re planning to make a move against the Yuwen and Wei Families?"

"The heads of both the Yuwen and Wei Families are here for the gathering, including the Vice Sect Hierarch Wei Deyuan. We don’t understand why they are meeting, but at the same time, we’re looking for an opportunity to see if there’s a chance to take down these two families."

"Take down? Not annihilate?"

"Yes, take down. We need to consolidate more power now. Even if we need to purge and reform, that will come after taking down that person."

"You have brought many powerhouses?"

"Yes, Dean Wu supports the senior, plus a group of powerhouses from the Elders’ Court. However, the Wei and Yuwen Families have more experts than we expected. If we act rashly, we might not capture everyone, and the news will definitely leak."

"They might have plots and schemes for their meeting, which I am not clear about. What I do know is that they will join forces to explore a small world that contains Tianmi Xuanshen Water, guarded by formidable Demonic Beasts. That’s why they will have sufficient powerhouses entering."

"Secret Realm?"

"If you want to make a move, the Secret Realm is a good place. At least no one can escape, and the chances of the news leaking are very low."

Shangguan Wenyin knew Lin Chen very well. Hearing what Lin Chen said, he knew Lin Chen’s intentions.

"You want to enter the Secret Realm for the Tianmi Xuanshen Water?"

"Yes, I’m having trouble figuring out how to steal the Tianmi Xuanshen Water right under their noses. Since you have plans too, why not cooperate?"

Shangguan Wenyin understood instantly, "I may not be able to enter the Secret Realm on my side. You’ll bring us into the Secret Realm without a sound, and you get the Tianmi Xuanshen Water?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, what do you think?"

Shangguan Wenyin agreed without any hesitation, "Deal!"

The two quickly communicated several points of the plan, and then Lin Chen stopped pacing and returned to the Pill Furnace room again.

He had to win!

Only by winning this competition could he follow the many experts and enter the Secret Realm with absolute certainty.

Lin Chen contemplated for Three Days, practicing refining pills in his mind countless times, simulating the process I don’t know how many times, and many potential problems had already been solved in advance. What remained was the practical operation.

Mistakes would definitely occur in the practical operation; it all depended on whether Lin Chen’s error-correcting abilities were strong enough.

Seeing Lin Chen start the Pill Furnace, both supervising alchemists became tense.

He finally began.

Can he do it?

"Bang!"

The furnace exploded!

The first Pill Furnace, about halfway through the refining process, exploded.

The refining failed!

Although knowing that furnace explosions are normal, a look of disappointment still appeared on the face of the Wei Family alchemist overseeing the process, while the alchemist from the Yuwen Family had an unmistakable look of joy.

Exploded beautifully!

There are two batches of materials left. You just need to explode the furnace two more times, and you’ll definitely lose!

Lin Chen remained calm, tidied up the Pill Furnace, meditated for a few hours, and then began again.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound of the furnace exploding came from inside, and upon opening the Pill Furnace, all the medicinal herbs inside had turned to black ash, a foul odor assaulting the senses.

The alchemist from the Yuwen Family was ecstatic!

Exploded well, exploded marvelously, exploded perfectly!

Keep it up!

Just one more chance!

The complexion of the Wei Family alchemist darkened even further.

Although his skills were no match for Lin Chen, he still felt quite dissatisfied with Lin Chen representing the Wei Family.

How old is Lin Chen anyway? Is his pill refining skill really that strong?

Alright, even if his ability to refine some particular pills is very strong, maybe even surpassing other alchemists in the Dan Shi Garden, but when it comes to comprehending Pill Prescriptions, how much experience can he have?

No matter how rich his experience, can he compare to Yuwen Zhao, who is who knows how old?

It should have been Steward Qin’s place to come forward, or at least one of the several other veteran alchemists.

Why did it fall to Lin Chen? Isn’t this just a death sentence?

Lin Chen’s expression remained calm as usual, cleaning up the Pill Furnace and then closing his eyes again, sitting still for half a day.

The second refining process was nearly complete, just shy of the final step, yet it still exploded, leading Lin Chen to ponder the cause of the failure.

There shouldn’t be problems in the simulation, right?

Lin Chen analyzed each medicinal herb one by one, pondering all the possible factors, and finally, after half a day, he thought of a possibility.

When all possibilities are excluded, the only one remaining must be the truth!

Lin Chen opened his eyes again, his gaze resolute, and silently began refining pills once more.

The two supervising alchemists grew tense, but the Yuwen Family alchemist was filled with schadenfreude, while the Wei Family alchemist was anxious and desperate.

Lin Chen sat for such a long time, with the deadline nearly upon him, and he was only starting his final attempt at refining. This clearly indicated he had no other options, betting on his last chance, right?

But can you really gamble with pill refining?

It’s all about technique; with the right technique, success is natural. Without it, a hundred attempts still lead to failure!

Lin Chen will certainly fail this time as well, right?
