Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Zhang Wenxuan’s Madness
The appearance of the Pill Formation Rainbow Light immediately led to gasps of surprise. Those who originally believed Zhang Wenxuan had a certain victory were now unsure.
After all, though good in quality, Zhang Wenxuan’s Red Sun Pills did not give off the Rainbow Light.
At this moment, Zhang Wenxuan’s face was gloomy. He hadn’t expected Fang Lin’s Red Sun Pill to exhibit the Pill Formation Rainbow Light, adding an unpredictable element to his previously assured victory.
Qi Sanxuan also felt shocked, thinking that Fang Lin was too abnormal; even a winning situation such as this had been upset.
“No matter what, I refuse to believe that he can refine Red Sun Pills better than Zhang Wenxuan!” echoed in Qi Sanxuan’s heart.
As the brilliant Pill Formation Rainbow Light gradually faded, Chen Yongnian managed to compose himself and took out the four Red Sun Pills from the jade bottle.
At a glance, he gasped. Those beside him looked over and their faces became horrified.
Especially Qi Sanxuan, his old face twisted instantly, looking as unsightly as if he had eaten a dead rat.
“Four, four of perfect quality!” trembled a Pill Alliance elder.
Not only him, but the other elders also found this hard to believe. Despite looking again and again, the results were consistent. These were indeed four perfect quality Red Sun Pills.
Besides shock, there was joy on Mo Ziming’s face. For Fang Lin to refine four perfect Red Sun Pills, it was simply miraculous.
Chen Yongnian repeatedly praised Fang Lin. Zhang Wenxuan’s performance originally seemed impressive and unbeatable.
But now, in the face of Fang Lin’s four perfect quality Red Sun Pills, Zhang Wenxuan seemed overshadowed.
Chen Yongnian took a deep breath and announced in a loud voice, “Fang Lin, four perfect quality Red Sun Pills.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned before expressions of amazement crossed their faces.
“My God! Four perfect quality Red Sun Pills?”
“It’s beyond belief! Truly beyond belief!”
“In all my years of pill refinement, this is the first time I’ve seen a perfectly quality pill!”
“I always thought only a Master of Pill could possibly produce perfect quality pills.”
“This Fang Lin, he’s incredible.”
“In that case, it’s Fang Lin who wins.”
····
Every Pill-Refiner of the Pill Alliance was overwhelmed. Perfect quality represented a peak.
In the Pill Refining Circle, those who could refine perfect quality pills clearly ranked higher than average refiners.
And Fang Lin, all four of his Red Sun Pills were of perfect quality, a result so outstanding that even a Master of Pill could not easily achieve.
The Co-King, Gongsun Cheng, and others were left speechless, especially Gongsun Cheng who had animosity towards Fang Lin. Upon seeing Fang Lin’s stunning performance, he seemed even more sullen.
But undeniably, Fang Lin’s performance shook them. A gifted alchemist was one thing, but one able to produce perfect pills was frightening.
Who knew what level Fang Lin might attain in the future? Perhaps it won’t be long before Fang Lin occupies a prominent place in the Pill Alliance’s top ranks.
By that time, those who had once offended Fang Lin would likely feel quite uneasy.
Dream Falling Flower’s eyes held a trace of gloominess. She had come to investigate Fang Lin’s capabilities. Now, seeing his exceptional talent in Alchemy Tao, this wasn’t good news for her and the Crown Prince Zhou Yishui.
“I lost? I actually lost?” At this moment, the most reluctant to accept the result was Zhang Wenxuan.
When Zhang Wenxuan heard Chen Yongnian’s words, he stood stunned, speechless for a long while.
Only when the sounds of astonishment around him echoed did he come back to himself, his face a picture of despair and manic muttering, like a madman.
Many people looked at him with sympathy, as anyone in his position would struggle to accept the situation.
A match once thought a sure win was completely overturned by Fang Lin. This blow was hard for the proud and talented Zhang Wenxuan to accept.
“How did I lose? I shouldn’t have lost. Something must be wrong! I won’t accept it!” Suddenly, Zhang Wenxuan burst out yelling, his eyes bloodshot and his demeanor wild and ferocious.
Chen Yongnian frowned, “The outcome is apparent. Fang Lin has won. Do you refuse to accept that?”
“I refuse!!!” Zhang Wenxuan roared in rage, openly defying Chen Yongnian.
The elders sighed, lamenting Zhang Wenxuan’s poor temperament. They were disappointed that one failure could make him lose control like this.
While such a loss was indeed hard to accept, Zhang Wenxuan’s public tantrum and disrespect to Chen Yongnian were unacceptable.
“Zhang Wenxuan, I am the judge of this competition. Do you have any grievances?” said Chen Yongnian, his voice carrying a hint of authority.
As the head of Xuan Country’s Pill Alliance, he also had his pride. The outcome was clear and he had been impartial, naturally he wouldn’t tolerate Zhang Wenxuan’s insolence.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Qi Sanxuan quickly intervened. “Elder Chen, Wenxuan is merely speaking brashly out of desperation. But there is indeed something strange about this situation. Fang Lin, just a Three-Cauldron Pill Refiner, manages to produce perfect quality pills. Who would believe this if word got out?”
Chen Yongnian gave Qi Sanxuan a cold look. “Elder Qi, there are some things I don’t want to spell out. You should step back.”
Qi Sanxuan’s face shifted between shades of pale and icy blue. He didn’t expect Chen Yongnian to rebuke him so outright, leaving him no dignity.
Seeing this, the other elders sneered. It was evident that Chen Yongnian was displeased with Qi Sanxuan. They could almost foresee that as long as Chen Yongnian was in charge of Xuan Country’s Pill Alliance, Qi Sanxuan was doomed to be marginalized.
“I refuse to accept this! I, Zhang Wenxuan, am the top genius of the Pill Alliance! I can’t lose to Fang Lin! Why would a piece of trash from the Lower Three Kingdoms win against me? What right does he have? He should just get lost back to the Lower Three Kingdoms! Why is he even here?” Zhang Wenxuan ranted furiously, his eyes filled with madness and looked ready to fight Fang Lin.
Fang Lin’s expression was indifferent, showing no anger at Zhang Wenxuan’s furious rant. In Fang Lin’s eyes, Zhang Wenxuan was nothing more than a failed mad dog. As for mad dogs, Fang Lin had always found them not worth his time.
“Insolent!” Chen Yongnian finally lost his temper. With a wave of his hand, he sent Zhang Wenxuan flying to the ground.
