Upon hearing Grandmaster Ma's words, the expressions of everyone present, who were still in shock, changed simultaneously, and they all stared at Yang Zhen with hostility, including Fan Tong.
Yes, although Yang Zhen has created the Dragon Roar Righteous Qi, and it is visible to the naked eye, beautiful and lifelike, the Origin Splendor Pill needs to be refined for more than forty days to be completed. During this period, he needs to carefully cultivate his Yuan Qi, otherwise all his previous efforts may be wasted.
Even a master alchemist like Grandmaster Ma would probably not dare to be careless and would need to be extremely cautious in order to refine Origin Splendor Pill of decent quality. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult that even Grandmaster Fan Tong couldn't refine it.
Yang Zhen spent an hour refining the pills, and after carelessly processing all the miscellaneous materials, he threw them in all at once. Even a layman could see that this Pill Formula was wrong, let alone Grandmaster Ma.
The temperature, heat, and even time required for the alchemical materials to melt into a liquid vary greatly, and they must be added in a specific order and according to an extremely strict method.
Even so, the slightest mistake could result in a waste product, making it impossible to successfully refine into a pill.
Yang Zhen's actions are blatantly treating everyone like fools. What is this supposed Dragon Roar Righteous Qi if not a fake?
In an instant, everyone realized that, according to the Grandmaster's words, Yang Zhen had actually used a special method to activate the Dragon Roar Righteous Qi to deceive everyone and make fools of them?
" Yang Zhen, what tricks are you playing? In front of two alchemy masters and so many fellow Daoists, you actually resort to such despicable means to deceive everyone. It's utterly ridiculous!"
Yan Feng pointed at Yang Zhen with glee and shouted loudly. Now that Grandmaster Ma was backing him up, if he could humiliate Yang Zhen and expose his true colors, Yan Feng's status on Donglin Island would reach an extremely high level.
Thinking of this, Yan Feng felt a surge of excitement, staring intently at Yang Zhen with a burning and unfriendly gaze, while maintaining a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor.
Yang Zhen looked up at Grandmaster Ma, then his gaze skipped over Yan Feng, the great genius of the alchemy world, and landed on Fan Tong's face. He said, "Senior Fan, would you be so kind as to give me some pointers?"
"This..." Fan Tong stepped forward with a puzzled look, nodded, closed his eyes, and began to sense the fragrance of the pills in the air and listen to the dragon's roar in the sky.
Grandmaster Ma laughed heartily, his face full of disdain, and said, "Brother Fan, there's no need for that. I spent a full six months refining the Origin Splendor Pill. During that time, I became thoroughly familiar with every step and phenomenon involved in refining the Origin Splendor Pill."
At this point, Master Ma gave Yang Zhen a deep look and continued, "The Yuanhua Pill has a gentle quality within its uprightness, and its dragon's roar is clear and bright, not so low and muffled like a cow's moo. Its fragrance is also refreshing, not so strong. Therefore, I conclude that you, Yang Zhen, are just putting on an act and have not actually refined the Yuanhua Pill."
The surrounding crowd gasped and nodded in agreement.
Grandmaster Ma is right. Yang Zhen probably took advantage of everyone's inability to wait several dozen days to allow him to complete the alchemy, which is why he was able to cheat with impunity, since no one could expose him anyway.
It must be said that the vast majority of people felt they had underestimated Yang Zhen's shamelessness.
Grandmaster Ma's revelation was truly gratifying.
However, at this moment, a sound came from inside the pressure cooker again, with a continuous hissing sound. This time, not only did a series of Dragon Roar Righteous Qi emerge, but they also condensed into auspicious signs in mid-air.
roar!
With a series of deep and powerful dragon roars, countless rays of light condensed in mid-air, forming a circular object resembling a pill.
Fan Tong suddenly shuddered, staring incredulously at the magnificent celestial phenomenon in mid-air. He exclaimed excitedly, "This is the Pill Splendor of Immortality! The Elixir of Pill Splendor has actually appeared! With the appearance of the Pill Splendor Immortality, the alchemy is complete! This... this is simply unbelievable, inconceivable, utterly unbelievable!"
The Elder Yao was equally excited, his hands trembling as he stared intently at the pressure cooker in front of Yang Zhen. Before he knew it, he had come to the pressure cooker and reached out to touch it, as if he were facing his long-lost spouse with tenderness, only his hands were no longer strong and were trembling.
Snap!
Fan Tong slapped Elder Yao's hand away, saying with some displeasure, " Elder Yao, don't lay a hand on me. You'll regret it if you ruin Pill Splendor."
The Elder Yao suddenly awoke and said with shame, "Regarding what Grandmaster Fan has taught me, I have spent my whole life working with alchemists, yet I have not only failed to become a master, but now I can't even understand the methods of alchemy and the Pill Furnace. It is truly... truly disheartening. I was rash in a moment, and I hope Grandmaster Fan will not take offense."
Fan Tong glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? So what if you don't understand? The art of alchemy is profound and complex. Who can claim to be a master? If you don't understand, why ask? The method of alchemy and the owner of the Pill Furnace are right in front of us!"
Hearing this, the Elder Yao was taken aback, his eyes gleaming with surprise. He muttered to himself, "Come to think of it, given my relationship with this little rascal, if I swallow my pride and ask, he might tell me..."
"Ahem!" Fan Tong coughed lightly, then pulled Elder Yao aside and said, "Ever since young friend Yang arrived, I've felt that he's no ordinary person. I was overjoyed upon meeting him. You must introduce me to him later, old man. I love making friends with such talented young men."
The Elder Yao was petrified and nodded blankly.
The crowd around, who were eavesdropping, looked utterly horrified and bewildered.
Is this... is this still the highly respected Grandmaster Fan Tong, whom ordinary people would have to wait a long time to meet?
Swish!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yang Zhen, and all sorts of envious, jealous, and hateful glances were directed at Yang Zhen. If looks could kill, Yang Zhen would have been reduced to dust by now.
Damn it, comparisons are odious. Everyone present wanted to befriend Grandmaster Fan Tong but couldn't find a way, especially those who wanted to obtain the Elixir. They tried every possible method, almost kneeling outside the Fan Residence and refusing to get up.
Even just to meet Grandmaster Fan Tong, one has to rely on his mood; to request a single pill, one must pay an enormous price. There's no way around it, after all, master-level Alchemist are extremely rare and precious.
But Yang Zhen...
That bastard Yang Zhen merely tossed out a strangely shaped ' Pill Furnace ' with a bang, haphazardly fiddled with some alchemical ingredients, and Fan Tong was willing to lower himself to ask the Elder Yao to personally introduce him to Yang Zhen?
It seems that no matter how the Pill Evaluation ends today, Yang Zhen is destined to become Fan Tong's honored guest.
Upon hearing this, Hua Youyue couldn't help but reveal a hint of wild joy on her face, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at Yang Zhen's face.
The Elder Yao immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly nodded, smiling as he said, "Of course. Now that we've come to Grandmaster Fan's residence, how can we not pay our respects? Don't worry, I'll personally speak to him after Yang Zhen finishes refining the pills."
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Fan Tong laughed heartily.
Grandmaster Ma, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered, his expression dark and uncertain as he stared at Yang Zhen. He said in a deep voice, " Yang Zhen, how long are you going to keep putting on this act? Do you expect everyone to wait here for you for dozens of days?"
Yang Zhen glanced at the steam billowing from the pressure cooker, then looked at Grandmaster Ma and said, " Grandmaster Ma, please calm down. We'll talk about slapping each other later. Um, do you think I should slap the left side or the right?"
Damn it, so impatient? Do you think refining pills in a pressure cooker is so easy? Whether it's the formation, the Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions, or even the pressure inside the pressure cooker, there are specific techniques involved. One wrong move and you'll end up getting what's coming to you instead of showing off.
The Shameless Cat, which had been sneaking around and crawling towards them, squinted at the aroma emanating from the pressure cooker and muttered, "Of course we attacked both sides, you bastard."
Muttering to itself, the Shameless Cat kept sniffing the air, its eyes gleaming, and it slowly shuffled forward with its rear end sticking out, its furtive gaze fixed on the pressure cooker.
