Yuki picked up the recipe and looked it over before looking at the others.
It seed like everyone had received a different pill recipe. She could see that everyone had also received different ingredients.
This might have been a problem for soone else since the pill recipe that she was given was much harder than the others, but it wasn't a problem for her since this recipe was just too basic for her.
This would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Without any hesitation, she created a blue fla in her hand.
This fla wasn't a normal fla, it was a fla that was made of ice. However, it wasn't only cold like ice, it was also hotter than normal fla in the center.
She casually tossed this fla in her pill cauldron, but she didn't throw in any ingredients after tossing the pill in.
Instead, the fla burned inside the cauldron alone.
What she was doing was refining the cauldron itself, fixing all the tampering that had been done with it so that she could use it normally. But of course, the people around her didn't know this and there were so that even thought that she was ssing up because of how nervous she was.
"Look at that girl, she's just standing there in a daze after putting the fire in the cauldron. Doesn't she know that she has to add the ingredients too?"
"Maybe her nerves are getting to her, you don't know?"
"Shh, does that matter? She's a beauty, that's all I need to know to cheer for her."
Of course, the last words were the ones that filled the stadium since Yuki was indeed a beauty. She was a beauty that didn't lose to Angela who was already the most perfect person that Lin Fan had ever seen.
Even when she was hiding her true appearance, her beauty couldn't be hidden.
Of course, that was also because she had released so of her power hiding her true appearance.
If she wanted to show off, it was better to show off with her beauty as well.
It would make her feel better.
After letting the fla refine the cauldron, she took the ingredients and threw them in without any hesitation.
As soon as the herbs touched the fla ax there were sparks that appeared.
This was a very bad sign since it shows that there were impurities in the dicinal liquid that Yuki was creating with her flas. The impurities inside of the dicinal liquid reacted with the flas to create these sparks.
The more sparks there were, the more impurities there were in the mixture. The more impurities there were, the lower the grade of the pill.
With how strong the sparks were coming from Yuki's cauldron, no one believed that she would be able to create a high grade pill.
Many people had already written her off and were certain that she would fail.
"It really is a sha that such a beauty is failing."
"Just because you're beautiful, it doesn't an that you are skilled."
"Maybe I can cheer her up after she fails the exam."
When this last sentence was said, many people realized that this person was right. They all turned to Yuki while so servants headed off to get information for these people.
As for the young master, when he saw the sparks flying out of Yuki's cauldron, he revealed a wide smile.
He wasn't able to do anything directly to Lin Fan, but it was impossible for him to let go of his revenge after how he had been shad yesterday.
Since he couldn't take his revenge on Lin Fan, he would take it out on this girl who chose to go with him.
But there was also a small part of him that felt it was a sha since she really was beautiful.
He even started thinking that after the exam, he should go find this girl to steal her from Lin Fan.
But of course, before that, he still had to pass this round first.
So he stopped letting himself get distracted and started focusing on his own pill making.
When he started focusing, there were different coloured glows that ca from his cauldron.
The audience wasn't filled with people that were very knowledgeable about alchemy techniques, these were mainly people who had co to watch for fun and wanted to see if they could bring in any promising alchemists under them. So when they saw the different coloured glows coming from the young master's cauldron, they didn't really react.
It was the referee who had given a nod to the young master before who reacted by showering the young master with praise for his techniques.
This referee was an alchemist that was already acknowledged by the Alchemy King Hall, so his words did have weight. It made the people of the crowd pay even more attention than just having their eyes attracted by the different coloured glows to the young master.
Even the superiors of this referee who had been monitoring him also started paying attention to the young master.
Since the referee had already taken the young master's bribe, naturally he would do his best to hype up the young master.
The young master revealed a smile when he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him and he beca even more spirited as he put in more effort to his refining.
Even if the referee had hyped him up, the young master's technique was only considered unusual. It wasn't rare enough for him to be considered a genius, but there was no one else that was showing enough talent to suppress him, so he was considered the genius of this batch.
Of course, that all changed when Yuki made her move.
She had been taking her ti with her refining because she was waiting for the right mont.
Now that the young master was finally focused on his refining, it was ti for her to make her move.
With a smile, she started controlling the fire in the cauldron to move in a different manner.
As the flas followed her will, it separated the dicinal liquid in her cauldron in half.
One was a drop of transparent liquid that was the pure dicinal essence of the herbs that she had just lted and the other was a pure black drop.
She separated the two to different sides of the cauldron, moving the transparent drop to the left and the black drop to the right.
Once the two were separated, she increased the power of the flas on the right side, increasing the temperature to a point that far surpassed any heat that she had produced before. As for the left side, she actually reduced the power of the fla, making it just weak enough to keep the drop of dicinal essence in liquid form, but it wasn't strong enough to refine it any longer.
It was almost as if she had taken all the flas on the left side and had poured them to the right side to burn away the black drop.
As the heat on the right side increased, the black drop started to tremble until smoke finally ca out of it and it showed signs of evaporating.
But once the smoke ca out, there was a foul stench that filled the air.
"What is this!"
That was the crowd's first reaction along with the urge to throw up.
This was a scent that slled like death, it was a scent that shouldn't have existed in this world, but it currently filled the entire arena.
Everyone imdiately turned their attention to Yuki when this sll appeared and there were even people that had wanted to charge forward to stop her, which included the referee.
He didn't know what she was doing, but he knew that this was sothing that he had never seen before.
Based on his experience, he knew that she had failed and he would stop her before she interfered with anyone else. Not to ntion, that this gave him a direct chance to interfere with her.
Since he had already taken the young master's money, then there was no need for him to hold back.
Not to ntion, this girl's body really was sothing else.
As the referee prepared to make his move, there was a lewd look that appeared on his face.
But before he could do a thing, there was a voice that stopped him.
"This! This is the Concentration Purification Technique!"
The referee imdiately froze in place when he heard this voice. This voice was his superior.
While he was in charge of watching over this round, that didn't an that he was able to take care of everything. If sothing happened that he wasn't able to take care of, there was soone else from the Alchemy King Hall who would take over.
That was his superior, the head referee.
He was only a Soul Realm Alchemy Expert, but the head referee was an Alchemy Master.
There was no comparing the gap in alchemy knowledge between the two.
Since the head referee had spoken, naturally he as the subordinate couldn't do a thing.
But he couldn't help asking, "Master, what is this Concentration Purification Technique?"
The head referee didn't reply right away as his eyes had been concentrated on Yuki's cauldron, as if he was trying to see right into the cauldron to see what was happening inside.
Then after a period of silence, the head referee said, "It's a technique that separates all of the impurities in the ingredients and then burns them all away, leaving behind only the pure dicinal essence, but it's very hard to perform because of the level of fla control that is required."
Then after a pause, he added, "Even I can't use this technique."
The referee looked at the head referee in shock.
Even an Alchemy Master couldn't use this technique?
