They saw the elixir in Chen Fan’s hand was exceptionally clean, indeed not a single pill pattern had appeared.
Yang Wanli’s complexion turned a few shades paler, and his expression grew sowhat desperate, "In the end... I’ve still lost."
Yang Tianzhen’s face was full of disappointnt, but she still said, "It’s not Chen Fan’s fault, he is not dedicated to Pill Refinent, losing is normal."
Qin Yiyi had originally thought Chen Fan was so confident that he must have really produced so incredible elixir, feeling sowhat nervous inside.
But seeing that the elixir in Chen Fan’s hand didn’t have a single pill pattern, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Looks like you really don’t know your own limits, after all this fuss, you’ve just turned yourself into a joke."
Xie Guangyun said coldly, "A Clear Spirit Pill without a single pill pattern is no different from a lump of mud, what do you have to say now!"
Chen Fan, with a calm face, countered, "As an Elder of the dicine Sect, you should know that a Nine-pattern Clear Spirit Pill is not the highest-quality Clear Spirit Pill, right?"
Xie Guangyun was stunned.
Qin Yiyi looked puzzled, "A Nine-pattern Clear Spirit Pill is not the highest-quality Clear Spirit Pill? What nonsense are you spouting?"
The surrounding people also started discussing among themselves.
"Nine pill patterns are already the limit of the Clear Spirit Pill, if a Nine-pattern Clear Spirit Pill isn’t the highest quality, what is? This guy is just being unreasonable."
"Exactly. In my opinion, we shouldn’t listen to this kid’s nonsense anymore, he’s just a clown seeking attention."
...
Xie Guangyun then said, "You are right, a Nine-pattern Clear Spirit Pill is indeed not the best quality Clear Spirit Pill. Rumor has it that a true Pill Refinent master can, after the formation of a Nine-pattern Clear Spirit Pill, rely on their powerful control ability to rge the nine patterns into one, forming a supre-quality Clear Spirit Pill."
"However, a Clear Spirit Pill with patterns rged into one is already a third-grade elixir. To think of using materials for fourth-grade elixirs to refine a third-grade elixir is like a fool’s dream. Therefore, supre-quality Clear Spirit Pills only exist in legends and no one has ever seen one."
The crowd was slightly surprised, not expecting that nine pill patterns were not the limit of the Clear Spirit Pill.
Xie Guangyun smirked coldly and continued, "Even if the legend exists, what does it have to do with you? Do you think you can refine this legendary supre-quality Clear Spirit Pill?"
Chen Fan grinned.
Then everyone heard a clear ’crack’ sound.
Following that, the elixir in Chen Fan’s palm split on its own, revealing a smaller dark red elixir inside.
A rich fragrance of dicine instantly spread across the entire square, causing everyone’s expression to shake slightly.
"The scent of dicine! The fragrance has actually appeared, which is a phenonon only in third-grade elixirs and above. Could it be that this guy really produced the legendary supre-quality Clear Spirit Pill?"
"It must be so, the fragrance of a third-grade elixir can’t be faked. I really didn’t expect this guy to be so incredible!"
...
Xie Guangyun’s cold smirk gradually froze, replaced by disbelief.
He stepped forward and took the elixir from Chen Fan’s hands, observing it carefully, muttering, "This is impossible! This is impossible! How could you have refined a supre-quality Clear Spirit Pill!"
Qin Yiyi was stunned as she blankly stared at Chen Fan, inhaling the fragrance of dicine wafting through the air, her eyes brimming with disbelief, "Three... third-grade elixirs, this guy... used ingredients for fourth-grade elixirs to refine a third-grade elixir, this..."
Not far away, Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen had already given up hope, but their eyes widened in disbelief after witnessing this turnaround.
After exchanging a glance, both of them had excitent that they couldn’t contain welling up in their eyes.
"Grandfather, we haven’t lost! Chen Fan has refined a third-grade elixir!" Yang Tianzhen excitedly jumped up.
Yang Wanli was instantly moved to tears, too excited to speak.
Chen Fan turned to Xie Guangyun, "Since my elixir is a third-grade elixir according to you, I should be the first place winner now, right?"
Xie Guangyun looked up at Chen Fan, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness, "You must have cheated, it’s impossible for you to refine one of this quality!"
Chen Fan retorted, "How can you be so sure I can’t refine it?"
Xie Guangyun gritted his teeth, "Because the ingredients I provided you with were missing one auxiliary herb, unless you possess control beyond that of ordinary people..."
Before he finished, he realized sothing was amiss and quickly shut his mouth.
Chen Fan smirked coldly, "So you knew there was one herb missing in my ingredients, was this your deliberate arrangent?"
All the disciples of the dicine Sect stared dumbfounded at Xie Guangyun.
Qin Yiyi was also shocked, and she rushed over to check the two remaining sets of ingredients Chen Fan had left, indeed finding that one harmonizing ingredient was missing.
While the auxiliary ingredient wasn’t important, it was indispensable in the refinent process. Without it to harmonize, the difficulty of refining would increase a hundredfold.
Just now, Qin Yiyi was shocked at seeing Chen Fan refine a third-grade elixir but didn’t think she was much worse than him; given ti, she too had a chance to refine a third-grade elixir. If she worked harder, there was still hope to catch up to Chen Fan.
But now, knowing that Chen Fan’s ingredients lacked an auxiliary herb and he still managed to successfully refine a third-grade elixir on the first attempt made her fully understand the gap between them.
If Chen Fan’s Pill Refinent skill was as high as ten storeys, then hers was ten floors underground.
"It seems that the one who was always full of herself... was ..."
Xie Guangyun’s complexion darkened to the depths, vehently denying, "It’s the fault of the disciple who provided the ingredients, it has nothing to do with ."
"You must have cheated during the competition; maybe this pill was refined by soone else, and you sneakily placed it inside the dicine Cauldron. You don’t deserve first place!"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, "It seems you really are like your damn grandson, not the decent man you pretend to be! I advise you to accept the loss graciously, and quickly hand over the ancestral Jade Pendant of the Yang Family, otherwise this matter won’t end as easily as you think!"
Suddenly, Xie Guangyun asked, "You’ve seen my grandson? Where did you see him, where is he now?"
Chen Fan sneered, "Naturally, he’s where he should be."
A shadow of unease crept over Xie Guangyun. His eyes fixated on Chen Fan as he angrily demanded, "Where exactly is my grandson, what have you done to him!"
At that mont, a dicine Sect disciple ran over in a panic, his face filled with alarm.
He was sweating profusely, and after taking a tremulous look at Xie Guangyun, he said, "E...Elder Xie, we found two cleanly gnawed skeletons deep in the forest outside our Sect. According to the items found at the scene, we have confird that the two people are Wang Tong and... and young master Xie Bi!"
