By this point in the Pill Convention, no one except the Spirit Clan had anticipated such a massive wave of eliminations.
Wei Jiangyuan's pill refinement had failed, and he had expended a great deal as well. Once the pill could no longer be salvaged, he collapsed directly to the ground. If he did not hurry and set up his cauldron anew, then Wei Jiangyuan's journey in the Pill Convention had effectively come to an end. Those who did not know Wei Jiangyuan's identity would only think that reaching this stage and surpassing veteran eighth-tier alchemists was already exceptionally impressive.
But for those who truly knew Wei Jiangyuan's identity, the shock in their hearts was immense!
He was Old Man Shennong's foremost disciple, the true favorite to win this Pill Convention—yet he had actually lost just like that.
"Even after his pill refinement failed, he still chose to affect Ling Zhuo. Such a decisive sacrifice is truly moving," Xuan Kongzi commented.
Though Venerable Mingshui heard these consoling words, his heart remained immersed in regret. He truly could not believe that his junior elder brother had been defeated so easily.
In the end, only two people remained in this Pill Convention: Xiao Yan and Ling Zhuo, old rivals from the Heavenly Secrets Talents Ranking who had caused such a stir before. The faint traces of energy leaking from their pill cauldrons were enough to show that what they were refining was certainly stronger than the previous eighth-tier pills. The champion would undoubtedly emerge from between them!
However, Ling Zhuo's situation was now more urgent than Xiao Yan's.
It was true that the others' flames had gone out of control under Ling Zhuo's influence. Yet while refining pills, he also had to perform so many additional actions, placing an enormous burden on himself.
