74 Renege (1/2)
Jin Rou was also stumped to see this. He thought that he could minimize the effect of the weakest flame he had to refine the ingredients at least for a minute. But to his surprise, it did not even needed a minute, only three breaths was enough! Within those breaths, the entire ingredients were already refined, and had already been merged without having incompatibility problems. The process was so smooth to the fact that the crowd was looking at him like he was a monster they were most afraid of.
”Hai..” Jin Rou sighed, ”It seemed that I underestimated my White Incinerating Flame, oh well.. This might already convince her.”
This was not the first time Jin Rou had concocted a pill. In fact, before he became the Celestial King, he already concocted the best pills their realm could offer! Of course, it was only indoor and only his family was present since he was really not allowed to go out. Since his father was an adept in concocting pills also, he was the judge of every pills Jin Rou made. After all, his father was planning to make him the Celestial King at a very early age. A King should have the knowledge and skill of each Jobs.
Jin Rou could be ignorant about any things but when it came to Jobs? Heh. If he claimed second, no one would dare to claim first!
Furthermore, the pills that he was concocting was all Heavenly-tier Epitome pills which could only be possibly concocted by 9-star Celestial Alchemists. In the Path of Alchemy, even his father admitted his inferiority to his son himself! Because the slowest concocting time of Jin Rou was a universe-defying 1 minute! This was already slow. What's more, at that time, Jin Rou did not use the strongest flame he had! If he used the his strongest flame and took it seriously, wouldn't it be terrifying?
If not for his family strongly restricted his freedom, he might already took the exams for the Celestial Jobs. Well, the family could invite the leaders of each Celestial Jobs if they wanted to let Jin Rou take exams, but the grandparents opposed this to their bones for some reason.

”How is this possible..” The most shocked and affected was of course, Ma Han. Her face paled from fright this time. This.. was completely ridiculous!
”Well, it's possible. I did it. So you lost the bet. I don't care if you don't give me the official title of Master Alchemist or whatever as long as you pay the four million diamonds and other stuffs.” Jin Rou said passively.
Gum Xuan could not help but tremble his legs upon seeing such incredulous sight. ”This is.. insane.”
Not only Gum Xuan was the one reacting this way, there was no exception at all! If they were greatly affected by the flame control a while ago, this scene made them almost lost their wits and turned insane!
What's happening with this world?!
Bingye Feng could only sit from standing due to her knees trembled so violently that it was almost not under her control. Even she, as someone with a high position, could not help but stare at Jin Rou like he was some God!
”No.. this is impossible. This is impossible!” Ma Han chose not to believe this or she could not bring herself to believe this reality. ”You bastard! You cheated! Cheated!” She stopped her refining and point accusations to Jin Rou.
”Me, cheated?” Jin Rou chuckled, ”There are so many people who witnessed it, how could I cheat? And what's more, if I cheated, why the set of ingredients I took from you was already gone? It just means I already refined them!”
”But I did not see you using a cauldron! How could you concoct one.. HUH?!” Ma Han still not backed down.
Thinking about this, the crowd who the whole scenario shivered. That lad had really not used a cauldron!
”Do I need to use a cauldron to refine them? In my case, I don't need one.” Jin Rou replied.
”Nonsense! Whatever you say is nonsense! There is no such thing so you cheated! The bet... the bet.. is off!” Ma Han stuttered. Even she could not believe what she was saying. But what she could do? She could not afford to lose four million diamonds just for this.
She added, ”Be thankful that I cancelled the bet or else you will suffer miserably!”
Hearing this, the frightened crowd could not help but smiled wryly upon seeing this more shameless act. They were more disappointed by this old lady that should already had tons of experience.
Jin Rou only stood there motionlessly.
