“It’s so strange! This lady casually placed so many medicinal herbs in her cauldron, so why hasn’t her tripod exploded?”
“Moreover… So fragrant! Why is her pill cauldron so fragrant?”
“Could it be that she can refine all those medicinal herbs?”
“How’s it possible!”
The crowd stared at Lou Qianxue, who was fully immersed in refining, and started discussing. “Refining the medicinal herbs is a cautious matter. An alchemist has to control the temperature of the fire extremely well, and on top of that, they need to have an even stronger mental strength to control the heat! Even if she has an Abnormal Fire, she can’t have such strong mental strength! So how can she refine so many medicinal herbs?”
“Exactly.”
“Exactly.”
Everyone nodded one after another.
However…
Whoosh!
The medicinal herbs in the pill cauldron suddenly floated out.
“Huh?” The crowd became silent as they looked at Lou Qianxue.
They only saw…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless medicinal herbs scrambled to get together. Under the faint blue flame’s broiling, they swiftly merged with each other.
In just the blink of an eye, an irregular oval-shaped object appeared above the pill cauldron.
“This… She has started the core formation?”
“Have those medicinal herbs been refined?”
“Her tripod didn’t explode? Is this real or fake?”
The crowd was so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.
They stared at the irregular elliptical object without blinking. As they looked on, the Abnormal Fire gradually transformed it into a perfect shape. The object became round.
At the same time, a medicinal fragrance that made everyone relaxed and happy spread into the air.
“This! Advancement pill! This is the smell of the Advancement pill, right???”
The elder stared until his eyes became round. His emaciated face distorted, and he shrieked as if he had seen a ghost. “How’s it possible? How can anyone refine a pill in this way?”
“!!! What? This is the Advancement pill? It’s really the Advancement pill!”
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air. They stared at Lou Qianxue in disbelief.
“Oh gosh! A second-grade alchemist can actually refine a fourth-grade Advancement pill! And she did it within 15 minutes! Am I dreaming?”
“Oh my goodness! So she really refined all the medicinal herbs at one go!”
“Moreover, she did not perform the core formation in the pill cauldron. This… this is not how an alchemist performs alchemy!”
“This isn’t real, right?”
The onlookers’ minds had gone blank. They had practically lost the ability to think. They were only shouting in shock due to their instincts.
At this moment.
Whoosh!
Lou Qianxue touched the completely-formed Advancement pill and held it in her palm. She then glanced at the hourglass and said, “I have successfully refined the Advancement pill within 30 minutes. Am I considered the winner of this alchemy battle?”
Although her tone was calm, she was full of confidence.
Her words jolted everyone back to their senses. One by one, they stared at Lou Qianxue with extremely strange gazes. At the same time, an indescribable feeling arose in their hearts. This lady is really a 100 percent freak!
Ye Zhuixun was elated. A rare smile appeared on his face. “Yeah. You won.”
As for the elder, his face worsened, and he turned around to escape.
However…
“Want to escape? It’s too late!”
Like a phantom, Lou Qianxue moved and instantly blocked his way.
“Old fellow, have you forgotten about the vicious oath you swore?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and coldly asked. She held the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron, which had transformed into a long sword, in her hands.
“You! B*tch! I did not lose! I did not lose! That’s not alchemy. It’s just a cover-up method! Yes, you must have used a cover-up method to deceive everyone! I will not fall for your trick!”
“Oh? If you did not lose, why are you running?” Lou Qianxue’s gaze revealed mockery. She shook her head. “In the end, a grandson and his grandfather will be similar. However…” Her face instantly turned sullen as she coldly said, “Concede defeat. It’s the right and proper decision.”
