From his position, he had a broader vision and a farther sight.

For the entire alchemy world of Ling Province, a single standout was far less impressive than a hundred flowers blooming together.

Upon hearing this, the high-level alchemists were first shocked, then quickly enlightened.

Earlier, Lu Yun had succeeded in condensing pills without a portion of spirit herbs. They had vaguely realized something was wrong since then.

At this moment, after Qin Ming’s words, everyone suddenly understood, and their faces showed a bitter smile.

They even wondered in their hearts if they could have discovered the problem with the pill recipe right away had they been the participants in the competition.

Thinking about it, most of them shook their heads slightly.

Under normal circumstances, almost all alchemists would firmly believe in the pill recipe and refine pills according to the described methods and details.

After experiencing failure, they would refine the pills again and again, reflecting on themselves and thinking about where the problem might lie, without connecting it with the pill recipe.

“Sigh… the rest lost without injustice!” These high-level alchemists sighed in their hearts.

Seeing those busy participants refining and purifying the herbs, Lu Yun glanced at the huge hourglass and immediately began to organize the spirit herbs and jade bottles on the Qing stone platform.

It is certain now that he will be the only winner of this competition.

If so, why would he still contribute all the pills?

As time passed, the deafening cheers on the square finally began to subside.

After a visual feast, the numerous alchemists in the audience still couldn’t help but turn their gaze from Lu Yun back to the other participants.

Although Lu Yun’s performance was astonishing and demonic, practically speaking, it didn’t help to improve their alchemy skills.

Because Lu Yun’s techniques in controlling fire and refining pills were too fast, leaving them all dazzled.

Moreover, the other participants were all genius alchemists, each with qualities worth learning from.

After Lu Yun successfully condensed pills, he completely stimulated the other participants to block out external distractions and devote themselves wholeheartedly to refining pills.

Unfortunately, such efforts and focus were already destined to be in vain.

As expected, not long after, Mu Changfeng and Chu Yuanyao took the lead in pill melting but, unsurprisingly, both failed.

“I didn’t succeed with two sets of materials?” Looking at the failed materials in the furnace, Mu Changfeng fell into deep self-doubt.

As for Chu Yuanyao, her innocent, adorable face full of unwillingness, her eyes flickered continuously, glancing back and forth between the furnace and the empty Qing stone platform.

After the two of them, more people began pill melting one after another. As they added the loose Ganoderma, their pill melting all ended in failure without exception.

When the last batch of failed participants raised their heads in disappointment, they were surprised to find that everyone else had stopped refining, their faces full of despair.

“What’s going on? Am 1 not the only one who failed?”

Such a sound went off simultaneously in the hearts of many participants.

And the audience and VIPs, seeing that among the Third Grade alchemists, all participants but Lu Yun failed, were full of puzzled expressions.

“What’s going on? Among the Third Grade alchemists, more than fifty participants, only one succeeded?”

“Could there be some inside information?”

“Exactly, even if the others are inferior, it shouldn’t be a total wipeout.”

Gradually, they began to whisper.

When the last sands in the huge hourglass had flowed through, the crisp sound of the bell rang out again.

In this somewhat silent and quiet atmosphere, the sound of the bell seemed so piercing and deafening. First echoing in their ears, it gradually spread into their hearts, constantly booming.

Qin Ming’s old body slowly stood up, and his wise, vicissitude-filled eyes slowly swept over the many genius alchemists on the competition stage.

Somehow, these alchemists, who had always prided themselves as geniuses and were arrogant, couldn’t meet that gaze at this moment.

From afar, they could feel the intense disappointment exuded from those eyes.

The quiet and silent square lasted for a long time until Qin Ming sighed softly and slowly ordered, “The finals are over. Please let the staff enter the arena!”

Among all the Third Grade alchemists, only Lu Yun successfully made a pill, but the process would not be shortened.

Mu Changfeng and the others didn’t make a sound; their stone platforms were empty without a single pill.

The staff with instruments quickly walked past each participant’s platform without stopping, arriving in front of Lu Yun in no time.

The stone platform was clean, except for a plump, round pill full of crystal luster. There was nothing else.

The staff member hesitated for a moment, and at the same time, those who saw this scene through the projected picture showed a surprised expression.

Weren’t there ten pills made? Why is there only one left now?

Also, the remaining spirit herbs are gone as well.

“Excuse me, is there a problem?”

Looking at the staff member who was in a daze, Lu Yun smiled slightly.

“All… No problem!”

The staff member immediately picked up the pill on the stone platform and placed it on the instrument, which suddenly radiated brilliant light.

Watching this scene, Chu Yuanyao, Mu Changfeng and the others didn’t know what to say and had bitter expressions on their faces.

Although Qin Ming was extremely disappointed, he quickly concealed his emotions and wore a smile on his face again.

“I announce that the winner of this Alchemy Conference in the Third Grade Alchemist category is…”

He slowly lifted his hand and then pointed suddenly at the youngest-looking, smiling boy, “Ling Province’s Third Grade Alchemist, Lu Yun!”

As soon as Qin Ming’s words came out, a deafening cheer erupted in the square. Countless people stood up blushing and shouted Lu Yun’s name.

For a moment, the whole square was engulfed in noisy and excited cheers.

No wonder everyone was so thrilled and ecstatic; Lu Yun’s performance in this Alchemy Conference was simply too dazzling.

Especially in the finals, when all the other alchemists failed, Lu Yun not only emerged as the sole winner but also refined pills with a 70% success rate in a single furnace.

For many alchemists, this was simply a legend.

Of course, amidst this celebration, there were still a lot of confusion and doubts, but they were completely overshadowed and ignored in the excited atmosphere.

The frenzy lasted for several dozen breaths before it finally subsided.

At this moment, Qin Ming raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. After announcing the winner of the Second Grade Alchemist category, his eyes swept over the crowd with a profound gaze.

“I believe many of you still have doubts about why, although you followed the pill recipe exactly in the refining process, you still failed.”

“Now, I’ll tell you, the reason for your failure is precisely that you followed the pill recipe entirely and had no thoughts or insights of your own during the process. You were too conservative and afraid to break your fixed thinking. Such mindset was doomed to fail from the beginning.”

Upon hearing this, most people’s eyes revealed a bewildered expression, still not able to recognize the problem with the pill recipe.

Only a few people seemed to have grasped something and looked thoughtful.

“Pill recipe?” Mu Changfeng began to recall the description of the pill recipe in his mind, including the order of refinement, the requirements for controlling the heat, and other details.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Mu Changfeng’s body trembled.

“Damn it, there was an extra portion of loose Ganoderma!” Thinking of this, Mu Changfeng involuntarily clenched his fists, making a creaking noise.

Chu Yuanyao’s gaze swept over the pill recipe in her hand, and she muttered softly, “Did he discover the problem with the pill recipe from the beginning?”

Immediately afterward, an unusual smile emerged on her pure and lovely face as she looked at the seemingly younger boy, “A Transforming Origin Realm martial artist and at least a peak Third Grade Alchemist in pill dao, what an outstanding young man!”
