Chapter 2530: Chapter 2550: Boiling the Rivers and Seas

"Bang!"

The lid of the pill furnace flew off, and a radiant light burst forth, accompanied by a vermillion medicinal pill.

Haihun Dan!

It was a success!

The alchemists of the Yuwen Family had faces filled with shock and disappointment. How could it be a success?

This was the high-grade elixir Haihun Dan, known for its high difficulty.

How could such a young alchemist simply think about it for three days and then, after refining it three times, achieve success just like that?

That was just too exaggerated.

The Wei Family’s alchemist’s face was equally filled with disbelief. He had already prepared himself for Lin Chen’s failure, yet Lin Chen had defied expectations and succeeded.

The Haihun Dan on the ceramic plate had a uniform color and emitted a fragrance akin to wisps of smoke.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, examined the Haihun Dan, and then stored it in a bottle specially designed for holding medicinal pills. He smiled at the two supervising alchemists, "Thankfully, it was a success!"

Soon, Wei Mingxuan, Yuwen Difei, and others gathered in the yard. Yuwen Zhao also came out from the alchemy room, but his complexion wasn’t looking good.

Yuwen Difei asked, "Yuwen Zhao, how did it go?"

Yuwen Zhao replied dejectedly, "I failed. It was so close, but the time was too short. Five days were too brief. If I had just a bit more time, just three more batches, I would have definitely succeeded."

Yuwen Difei frowned slightly, then turned his gaze to Lin Chen on the other side, "Chen Fan, what about you?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I was fortunate. In the last moment, with the last portion of materials, I managed to refine it successfully."

He succeeded?

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yuwen Difei’s eyes. Yuwen Zhao had lost?

Lost to this young alchemist?

Yuwen Zhao’s eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible? That’s the Haihun Dan. With only three sets of materials, how could you have possibly refined it successfully..."

His speech stopped abruptly as he saw one of the Yuwen Family’s supervising alchemists nod towards him, confirming the truth of the matter.

Yuwen Zhao’s expression turned extremely ugly. Before, he had looked down on Lin Chen, but now he had lost to him.

He had failed to refine the Pill Prescription given by the Wei Family, while Lin Chen had succeeded.

Victory and defeat were clear, leaving no room for argument.

Thinking back on how he had mocked Lin Chen from his high horse, and how humbly Lin Chen had wanted to learn from him, Yuwen Zhao wished there was a cave he could crawl into.

Wei Mingxuan’s eyes shone with undisguised delight, but his words were remarkably humble, "You actually succeeded? That truly is fortunate..."

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, family head. If not for good luck, my last attempt would have failed as well."

Luck was on his side?

The alchemists present all had subtle expressions on their faces. Was this too attributed to luck?

Even though they knew he was trying to display a victor’s humility, the words just didn’t sound sincere.

Yuwen Difei’s smile was tinged with reluctance, "Indeed, new generations surpass the old. Impressive, impressive!"

Once the outcomes were confirmed, there was nothing more for Lin Chen to do there.

Wei Mingxuan walked over to Lin Chen and patted his shoulder, "You’ve worked hard. Go and get some good rest."

"Okay!"

Returning to his dwelling, Lin Chen felt the fatigue from the continuous thought and high concentration on alchemy over the past five days.

After a period of rest, a handmaid came to fetch him, leading Lin Chen to Wei Mingxuan’s residence.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Wei Mingxuan’s face lit up with a smile, "Chen Fan, well done, haha!"

Lin Chen replied modestly, "I was just lucky!"

"Victory is strength, where does luck come into it? That was the Haihun Dan, it’s not something you can refine by fluke... Here, take a seat!"

Wei Mingxuan was enthusiastic, inviting Lin Chen to sit before saying with a laugh, "I’ve already explained the matter to you previously. Now that you’ve beaten Yuwen Zhao, it’s your turn to collect the Tianmi Xuanshen Water. Are you prepared?"

Lin Chen raised his doubts, "How am I supposed to proceed? I’m a bit confused."

Wei Mingxuan explained with a laugh, "Burn the river and boil the sea. We’ll use a Magical Treasure to evaporate all the water in the lake, and then you just need to extract the Tianmi Xuanshen Water that’s mixed in. It’s not complicated."

Lin Chen replied with a laugh, "If it’s not complicated, that’s great. Otherwise, I’d be worried I couldn’t complete the task, potentially ruining the family head’s plans."

Wei Mingxuan laughed heartily, "You’re an Alchemy Path genius; you must have confidence in yourself. Later, I’ll find you more high-level Pill Prescriptions and medicinal herbs, so you can continue to enhance your Alchemy Path strength and strive to become a Pill Dao Master in the entire Northern Sea and even the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain as soon as possible!"

Lin Chen responded with feigned amazement, "Thank you, family head!"

Wei Mingxuan pulled out a box and handed it to Lin Chen, "Open it and see?"

A surge of surprise rushed through Lin Chen’s heart. Could it be that this box contained the Hidden God White Jade Stem he had been searching for?

Lin Chen feigned confusion as he opened the box, only to see a large tuber resembling jade, glimmering faintly with flowing radiance, exceptionally dazzling.

Lin Chen looked up in astonishment, "Is this... the Hidden God White Jade Stem?"

Wei Mingxuan confirmed with a smile, "Yes, I’ve negotiated for it for you in these last few days. It cost me some favors, but since I promised you, I’ll definitely make it happen..."
