"Whoa!"
The crowd erupted as they watched the Otherworld Flower Seed take root and sprout leaves.
Feng Fu, Feng Xuan, and the two remaining Alchemists were still doing their utmost to catalyze their Otherworld Flowers, yet their goal was merely to make all the shoots emerge from their Otherworld Flower Seeds.
By comparison, who was stronger and who was weaker was plain to see!
"I lost to you in Herb Identification. If I lose to you in Herb Catalysis too, how will I ever show my face?" Feng Xuan glanced at the Otherworld Flower Seed in Jun Wangchen's hand, which had already begun taking root and sprouting leaves. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed the soul power he had kept hidden.
In an instant, a powerful surge of soul power radiated outward from Feng Xuan.
The four main-lineage elders beside the Colorless Pill Furnace were startled. Such powerful soul power was already on the very verge of reaching the level of a Grandmaster Alchemist of the fourth grade.
Almost the instant Feng Xuan unleashed his soul power, the Otherworld Flower Seed before him seemed to receive some stimulus. All its shoots abruptly emerged, and it began to grow slowly.
Feng Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. A hint of pride flashed across his pale face, and he looked at Jun Wangchen with a smug smile.
Jun Wangchen's expression remained unchanged. He had no interest in responding to Feng Xuan's show of strength and simply focused on his own Otherworld Flower Seed, devoting himself entirely to catalyzing it.
As time passed, the final minute slowly arrived.
Only four people remained at the round table: Feng Fu, Feng Xuan, the robed Alchemist, and Jun Wangchen.
The robed Alchemist had made the least progress, coaxing only three shoots from his Otherworld Flower Seed.
