Chapter 736 Alchemy King Hall (10)
Common ingredients!
These were ingredients that were considered the most basic of all ingredients.
As such, there really wasn’t anything special that could be refined from them…
Lin Fan was planning on refining a pill from these ingredients?
If he really was planning on refining a pill from these ingredients, then it really would be like he had said. After all, there was no chance that he would be able to refine a pill that would surpass young master Aotian’s 100% purity pill with these ingredients.
Could it be that it really was as he had said, he was just here to show off his skills?
Seeing this, young master Aotian felt a bit assured, but there was still that uneasiness that bit at him. Still, since he couldn’t stop Lin Fan, he decided to use his words to pressure him.
Young master Aotian revealed a faint smile and said, “Brother Lin, it seems like you’re really planning on just showing off your skills. I wish you the best of luck with your pill refining.”
If hard didn’t work, he would use soft.
He would use passive aggression to pressure Lin Fan into doing what he wanted.
However, Lin Fan wasn’t affected at all as he just looked at young master Aotian with a smile.
Lin Fan moved his cauldron in front of him and placed it down before casually throwing his ingredients in.
The way that he moved wasn’t like that of a master of alchemy, but rather he looked like someone who was just starting to learn alchemy. There were no special techniques or anything that was being used, he just casually threw his ingredients in before injecting in the fire to refine them.
Everyone couldn’t help revealing disappointed looks since they had expected more out of Lin Fan, but they also understood why he was doing this. After all, with his current position, it wasn’t wise for him to offend these elder disciples.
Based on what the elder disciples had said, he had clearly made some deal with them, which was why they were so friendly with him. If he were to create a mess now, it would certainly put him in a bad position.
So while everyone waited for Lin Fan to finish his refinement, there wasn’t anyone that actually had any hopes of being surprised by the pill that he refined.
However, what people didn’t notice was that as Lin Fan refined his pill, there were clouds that were gathering above them.
As he continued refining, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker and there were rumbles of thunder that came from the clouds. However, even with all these clouds forming, no one associated it with the pill that Lin Fan was refining.
Everyone just thought that it was a storm that was passing since it was impossible that these clouds and the thunder contained within them could have anything to do with the pill.
After all, if it was related to the pill, wouldn’t that mean that the pill that Lin Fan was refining was good enough to attract a thunder tribulation?
If that was the case, that would mean that the pill was…
A Pill Line Pill!
They were more likely to believe that the world was coming to an end than to believe that Lin Fan was able to refine a Pill Line Pill with the ingredients that he had used. They were nothing more than common ingredients that could be found anywhere, how could something like that be turned into a Pill Line Pill.
But no matter how they ignored it, the clouds and thunder in the sky became thicker and stronger.
Lin Fan was just casually standing there refining his pill, with nothing special about his technique. But what they didn’t know was that inside the cauldron, something that they never would have expected was happening.
Lin Fan’s alchemy technique was the Nine Revolution Pill Refining Technique that he received from the system.
There was nothing special about it, it just controlled the flames to revolve the ingredients inside of the cauldron to purify them until there were no impurities left. But then after that, the revolving of the flames would concentrate the medicinal essence of the ingredients, making them more and more potent until they reached a level that far surpassed the medicinal essence that was contained in the ingredients in the first place.
However, Lin Fan didn’t go all the way with all nine revolutions.
Instead, once he reached the third revolution, Lin Fan stopped refining the ingredients.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t reach the fourth revolution, but rather because there was no need for him to continue with the fourth revolution. He had already refined the ingredients enough to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish, so refining them any further wouldn’t be good for him.
Rather, if he made a pill that was too good, it would draw attention that he didn’t want.
Since he had stopped his refining, the pill had taken form and that meant that it was time for it to be revealed.
But before it could be revealed, the thunder in the sky suddenly became even stronger.
Everyone looked at the clouds in the sky and they felt that this feeling was familiar. Most of these alchemists were experts that were in the Soul Realm, so they had experienced something similar to this in the past.
These were tribulation clouds and the thunder that they contained were tribulation lightning.
However, there wasn’t anyone undergoing a breakthrough here, so why were there tribulation clouds forming?
The elders were worried about the safety of everyone, but mostly they were worried about the safety of their own disciples, so they all stood up as they prepared to head to the stage to block the tribulation lightning. Even Elder Fu stood up with them since he was worried about Lin Fan.
However, it was Lin Fan that stopped them by raising a hand and saying, “There’s no need to panic, this is just a tribulation for the pill that I’ve refined. I’ll take care of this.”
The elders and everyone heard the words that Lin Fan was saying, but they couldn’t understand it since these words went against their common sense too much.
Lin Fan was saying that the tribulation clouds were drawn by the pill that he had refined?
But if that was the case, wouldn’t that mean…?
Everyone revealed looks of shock as they looked at the pill that had come out of Lin Fan’s cauldron and after releasing their spiritual senses, they could tell that it was indeed that pill that was the target of the tribulation clouds.
After they realized all of this, no one was able to move a single muscle as they waited to see what Lin Fan would do.
The tribulation lightning built up in the sky for a few more seconds before the first bolt of lightning fell down at the pill.
Lin Fan revealed a smile when he saw this, but he didn’t panic at all. He just casually raised his fist and sent a punch right at the bolt of lightning that was falling down on him.
It didn’t even take his fist hitting the lightning to dissipate, just the force of his fist was already more than enough to scatter the energy contained within the bolt of lightning.
Of course, that wasn’t the only bolt of lightning that came down, it was just the first bolt out of nine.
The clouds rumbled again before releasing a bolt of lightning that was twice as big as the one that it had sent down before. However, that still wasn’t enough to pose a threat to Lin Fan.
He just casually raised his fist again and with another punch, he scattered the bolt of lightning. However, this time, the bolt of lightning fell down much further than the previous bolt of lightning before scattering.
Still, it had been shattered by the pure air pressure of Lin Fan’s fist alone.
It was the same thing that happened with the third bolt of lightning. It was only when the fourth bolt of lightning fell down that the bolt of lightning was finally able to touch Lin Fan’s fist.𝒐𝒱𝐞𝑳xt.𝗇𝓔t
Still, even if it had reached Lin Fan’s fist, he was still able to scatter it with a single punch.
This continued once again until the seventh bolt of lightning.
Lin Fan had been able to destroy the first six bolts of lightning with just his physical body and suction force alone, but now when he punched the seventh bolt of lightning, he had to use something to supplement his punch.
There was a golden glow that no one else could see that appeared around his fist when he punched at the seventh bolt of lightning.
With this golden glow that no one else could see, he was able to smash the rest of the lightning tribulation.
After the lightning tribulation was finished, there was a glow that appeared on the pill that he had refined before a clear line appeared on the surface of the pill.
Lin Fan casually picked it up from off the ground and then walked over to the judges’ table where the judges had been standing there in a daze.
He just casually put the pill on the table and then said, “This is the pill that I refined.”
It took a long time before the judges were able to come back from their shock, but once they came back to their senses, they immediately came forward to check the pill.
After another long period of silence, Elder Fu was the one to say, “It really is a Pill Line Pill.”
