Chapter 379: Liu Ling Expins! The Green Lotus Core Fme Makes Its Appearance!

  The audience began whispering as they watched the alchemists on the pza awkwardly staring at each other.

  “Bang! Bang!”

  A soft muffled sound echoed beside Xiao Yaurned his head and saw Princess Yao Yue’s grim expression. She let out a slow breath.

  "Something seems off, doesn’t it?"

  In the VIP se, Princess Yao Ye was surprised as she observed the dazed Princess Yao Yue after her failed fusion.

  "Indeed, something's wrong... Though I’m not an alchemist, I tell that following the recipe should signifitly increase the success rate. Yet, everyone down there, including the princess, has failed!" Ya Fei frowned slightly as she spoke.

  "This exam seems to have hidden mysteries," Princess Yao Ye said, crossing her slender right leg over her left, her gaze fixed oramosphere in the pza.

  "Why hasn't that kid Liu Ling started refining the materials yet?"

  "Could it be... he’s already noticed something?"

  On the high ptform, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, and Hai Bodong all focused their attention on Liu Ling, who seemed to be ag unusually after seeing so many people fail.

  "Bang!"

  Another muffled sound came from not far in front of Xiao Yan. A third-grade alchemist, who had already failed once, ended his sed attempt in failure as well. His face turned dark as he stared at the bck ashes spilling from the bottom of his cauldron.

  As this sound echoed, the jade mirror in front of the alchemist's stoform suddenly lit up with a red glow, signifying that he had exhausted his two ces.

  The crowd turheir gaze toward the alchemist who had been the first to take a. Seeing his fate, many who had impulsively po start over immediately calmed down, too scared to waste their st set of materials.

  Trembling, the alchemist who failed twice packed up his cauldron, his face livid with frustration and rage. He stormed off the stage, muttering angrily under his breath. Those nearby could vaguely hear his unwilling pints.

  “Damn it! How did I fail again? My trol over the fme erfect! Why won’t they fuse?”

  Watg the alchemist leave, Xiao Yaly stroked the warm jade bottle in his hand, narrowing his eyes. After a moment, he slowly poured the materials from the bottle into his cauldron. He o experience firsthand why none of the partits could successfully refihe pill.

  Fixing his gaze on the swirling purple fmes, Xiao Yan calmly added the ingredients from the nine jade bottles into the cauldron, one by one. trolling the fmes, he carefully separated the ingredients. Finally, he took a deep breath and began the delicate process of fusion.

  Thanks to the failures of the others, Xiao Yan was more meticulous and cautious than anyone. His soul power surged forth, c every inch of the pill fire. He made sure that every rea and effect produced during the fusion of the ingredients was instantly transmitted to his mind.

  At this moment, the highest scorer in the first round, Liu Ling, still hadn’t started refining. The sed-ranked Xiao Yi Xian had also pleted her refining but was waiting and the situation. So wheher alchemists saw Xiao Yan attempting fusion, they all turheir curious gazes toward him.

  Xiao Yan focused entirely on trolling the pill fire. Uhe fme’s heat, the various ingredients gradually fused smoothly.

  "Three-Tailed Wind Leaf, fusion successful!"

  "Cloud Grass, fusion successful!"

  "Li Soil Fruit, fusion successful!"

  The materials smoothly fused uhe sensitive dete of Xiao Yan’s soul power without aance.

  "Thick Earth Ganoderma."

  Xiao Yan’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his expression ged dramatically as the fmes in the cauldron surged violently. A muffled sound followed, and some bck ashes scattered down.

  “Sigh!”

  Upon hearing this, the surrounding people sighed in disappoi.

  Seeing Xiao Yan's dejected look, much like the others after his failure, Liu Ling turned bad gave him a sly smile. Speaking in a voily those within two or three meters could hear, he said, “Heh, kid, haven’t you figured it out yet? This recipe isn’t necessarily correct.”

  “The recipe!”

  Hearing Liu Ling’s casual remark, Xiao Yan’s mind suddenly cleared up.

  Recalling the previous situation carefully, he realized that when he was fusing the Thick Earth Ganoderma, his soul power detected something unusual.

  “So, the Thick Earth Ganoderma wasn’t supposed to be added at all. Its medial properties lead to fusion failure if included.”

  “Damn, the recipe itself is faulty. The Alchemist Guild is really messing with us!” Xiao Yan cursed them silently, then looked at Liu Ling in shock.

  “He seems to have known about this all along, but why hasn’t he started refini? And why did he remind me?” Xiao Yan was deeply puzzled.

  At this moment, Princess Yao Yue, who had been closely Xiao Yan, noticed Liu Ling’s lip movements. A thoughtful expression appeared in her eyes.

  If Xiao Yahe real reason behind Liu Ling’s as, he would uand that it artly to prevent too many people from catg on and disrupting the petition, which would rehe sed round meaningless. Oher hand, Liu Ling simply wao show off.

  As Xiao Yaled with his fusion, a dazzling fme appeared in Liu Ling’s palm, drawing tless astonished gazes.

  As soon as the fme appeared, the temperature oire pza spiked to an unfortable level. If not for Liu Ling’s deliberate suppression, the alchemists around him would have been forced to leave their positions.

  “ fme! Such high heat!”

  The croed iaring at the fme in Liu Ling’s hand.

  It wasn’t just the alchemists on the pza who were shocked; evehree Dou Emperor powerhouses on the high ptform were visibly stirred.

  “The fme in Liu Ling’s hand doesn’t seem like an ordinary fire,” Jia Xingtian muttered to himself.

  “This aura... why does it feel so familiar? It seems like... the Green Lotus Core Fme!” Hai Bodong murmured, recalling something from his past, and then firmed with certainty.

  “Old Hai, you’re right. That is ihe Green Lotus Core Fme!” Fa Ma affirmed fidently after sensing the fme’s aura.
