Everyone stared at Li Cangxu in surprise, then their gazes toward Yang Zhen turned strange.
"This... what can I say? Yang Zhen has truly failed this time."
"I originally intended to break the Ghost Alchemist's State of Mind, but unexpectedly it helped Li Cangxu achieve his goal. Now that Li Cangxu Dao Entry with Yang Zhen, one day he will have to Dao Severing his Dao because he can no longer improve his realm. How can Yang Zhen survive then?"
"By then? With Li Cangxu's madman nature, would he wait until then?"
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord stood rooted to the spot, looking at Li Cangxu with a complex expression. He sighed and said, "This scene is something I didn't expect. Yang Zhen... what a pity!"
No one knows whether the regret the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord spoke of was referring to Yang Zhen or Li Cangxu!
Given the strength of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, no one believed that Yang Zhen could survive Li Cangxu's Dao Severing. Li Cangxu used Yang Zhen to Dao Entry, and if Yang Zhen did not die, he would never achieve great success!
Li Cangxu stood still, quietly watching Yang Zhen, and nodded, saying, "I'll wait for you to refine the pills!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. Yang Zhen's words and actions were unpredictable, and who could truly understand Li Cangxu, this madman?
Now that things have come to this, it seems the Ghost Alchemist has been forgotten. Even his Skull Furnace has been shattered. Yang Zhen has turned a pile of excrement into an elixir. It's clear that Yang Zhen has won this competition.
Furthermore, the Ghost Alchemist's State of Mind has already been broken. In his current state, let alone refining pills, it would be quite remarkable if he could even recover his State of Mind.
After Li Cangxu finished speaking, he looked at Yang Zhen with a smile. When everyone's gaze turned to Yang Zhen, they all became strange.
At this point, could Yang Zhen still concentrate on refining pills?
Sure enough, Yang Zhen shook his head. Just as everyone was about to sigh, Yang Zhen suddenly clapped his hands and said, "You don't need to wait anymore!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed as Yang Zhen took out a huge pill bottle, lifted the Pill Furnace with both hands, and poured out a whole bottle of emerald-like liquid.
How... how could this happen?
Everyone was dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances. No one had expected this outcome. What happened to the Alchemy Grandmaster alchemist's alchemy? What happened to the celestial phenomena appearing upon completion of the elixir?
Is that all?
What is that lump that's been poured out?
The Ghost Alchemist stared at Yang Zhen with a bewildered expression, then pointed at Yang Zhen angrily and asked, " Yang Zhen, are you playing me?"
"Playing you?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, shook his head, pried open the drooling Shameless Cat's head, put the lid back on, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the Ghost Alchemist, "No, why would this Sage of Saunter play you?"
"You didn't trick me! What did you refine?" the Ghost Alchemist roared, glaring at Yang Zhen with a furious and resentful look, as if he had been deceived.
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen. Was this... a failure?
Are these two here to be funny?
One Pill Furnace shattered, shattering the State of Mind; another, after refining for half a day, actually produced a pot of... soup?
Who really won?
In the crowd, Guan Guan stared incredulously at the pill bottle in Yang Zhen's hand, smelled the fragrance of the pills in the air, and then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes suddenly widened. She looked at the drooling Shameless Cat, which kept craning its neck forward, only to be pushed back by Yang Zhen, and her eyes widened even more.
The chubby boy looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion, then at Guan Guan, and leaned closer to Guan Guan, asking in bewilderment, "Miss Guan Guan, what happened to Yang Zhen? Did he fail?"
Guan Guan shook her head and said, "I... I don't know. Maybe it didn't fail, but... why didn't it form a pill?"
The chubby boy pouted and said with a regretful look, "Not forming the pill is still a failure, so what's a pot of soup?"
Even the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord and the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord looked at Yang Zhen with puzzled expressions, seemingly not expecting this outcome.
Li Cangxu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying to Yang Zhen, "That's fine too. You didn't cultivate the proper path, but instead tried to cultivate alchemy. Now that you've failed, you should cultivate diligently for the future..."
"Who said it failed?" Yang Zhen looked at Li Cangxu and the Ghost Alchemist with a strange expression, and said with a sneer, "Does a pill have to be round? Who made that rule?"
Who made that rule?
Everyone was taken aback.
Damn it, does this even need to be regulated? Ever since Alchemist came into existence, haven't all pills been round?
" Yang Zhen, stop your nonsense. Failure is failure. Do you think everyone here is a fool?" The Ghost Alchemist sneered, then said to the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord and the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord, "My lords, Yang Zhen has failed in his alchemy attempt, and the outcome is uncertain. I request a rematch."
Hearing the Ghost Alchemist's words, everyone present was shocked. Clearly, Yang Zhen's failed alchemy State of Mind had completely calmed the Ghost Alchemist down. Although he didn't know what kind of pill Yang Zhen intended to refine, he had failed nonetheless. At this level, even without the Skull Furnace, defeating Yang Zhen would be a simple matter for the Ghost Alchemist.
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord's face was gloomy, but the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord revealed a smile and said, "Since that's the case, then you two shall compete again. However, this time, neither of you is allowed to disturb the other, and you must exert your utmost strength..."
"No!"
As the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord was speaking, a clear voice suddenly rang out, startling everyone present, who turned to look at the source of the voice.
Guan Guan seemed to have mustered her courage with great difficulty. Now, seeing everyone looking at her, she suddenly felt uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and walked to Yang Zhen's side, staring at the Ghost Alchemist with a determined look, and said, "There's no need to rematch, Ghost Alchemist. You can't win against Yang Zhen!"
"What?"
Being belittled like this by a young girl, the Ghost Alchemist suddenly erupted with a surge of bloodlust, staring at Guan Guan and saying, "Little girl, you can't just say things like that, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself."
Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement, glared at the Ghost Alchemist, and said, "Damn it, do you feel a sense of accomplishment from scaring a little girl? If you say another word, believe me, this Sage of Saunter will turn you into an insect!"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Ghost Alchemist's expression hardened, and he coldly stared at Yang Zhen. Before he could speak, the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord snorted coldly and looked at Guan Guan, saying, "Little girl, what do you mean by that? Why don't we compete anymore?"
Guan Guan looked up at the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord and said, "Because... because Yang Zhen refined... the Heavenly Radiance Pill!"
What?
Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Radiance Pill," the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's gaze sharpened, and his State of Mind was slightly disturbed by the surprise. His aura inadvertently leaked out, and all the tables and chairs around him that Li Cangxu had shattered turned into dust.
Heavenly Radiance Pill!
The Holy Lord of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain also looked incredulous. He quickly stepped forward, stared at the large bottle of medicine in Yang Zhen's hand, and asked hesitantly, " Guan Guan, are you sure this is the Heavenly Radiance Pill?"
Guan Guan glanced at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, and seeing the expression in his eyes, she suddenly smiled and said, "That's right, it's the Heavenly Radiance Pill!"
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord gasped, muttering to himself, "A fleeting moment of Heavenly Radiance, shattering Chengxu into reality... Legend has it that the Heavenly Radiance Pill can help any cultivator instantly raise their cultivation level by an entire level in a short period of time. It's incredibly powerful and extremely rare. This... this is impossible! How could Alchemy Grandmaster refine such a heaven-defying pill as the Heavenly Radiance Pill? Moreover, what Yang Zhen refined wasn't a pill, but... a liquid!"
Guan Guan looked Guan Guan Yang Zhen with adoration, like a little fangirl, and explained, "That's right, Alchemy Grandmaster can't possibly refine the Heavenly Radiance Pill, so Yang Zhen never intended to succeed in making it. This is one kind of..."
"A low-grade version of Heavenly Radiance Pill, oh, it should be called Heavenly Radiance Decoction," Yang Zhen replied for Guan Guan with a grin.
