Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Exploding Furnace

Translator: 549690339

Just as Lin Jing was using the Controlling Fire Technique, several gazes swept over.

Lin Jing’s mastery of the Controlling Fire Technique had already reached perfection; his control over the flames could be described as an extension of his own limbs, incredibly skilled.

As time trickled by.

Their Alchemy gradually entered a critical phase, requiring an increasing amount of concentration, leaving them no spare energy to be concerned with anything else.

Like this, another half an hour passed, and it was now coming down to the wire with everyone’s nerves stretched taut.

Fearing even the slightest mistake.

Of course, this didn’t include Lin Jing, who still had some time before his Elixir Medicine was ready.

Nevertheless, even so, he still focused intently on his own Pill Furnace, aware that, despite his proficiency in alchemy, he couldn’t afford to be careless.

Otherwise, if he truly botched it, there would be nowhere for him to weep.

However, during this process, Lin Jing still deliberately made some small adjustments to appear more like a Second -Grade Alchemist who had just recently been promoted.

At this point, the fragrance of Elixir Medicine wafted through the area, signifying that someone had already succeeded in making it.

Before long…

The Pill Furnace opened, the fragrance of the Elixir billowing out and pervading the entire courtyard.

One of the Offering Priests had completed his concoction.

After opening the Furnace, this person took out the Elixir Medicine, a total of five pills, including one Superior Gathering Yuan Pill.

This was only his first batch, and he had already passed the examination.

By his side, Steward Cheng took the Elixir Medicine from his hand and then passed it to Zheng Steward,

Zheng Steward accepted the Elixir Medicine, inspected it briefly, then nodded his head without uttering a word and continued to watch the remaining few.

And when he looked at Lin Jing, he paused especially longer, observing him for a while.

Just then, another scent drifted from the Elixir Furnace; another Offering Priest clad in blue robes was nearing the completion of his alchemy.

At this time, inside the venue, the only ones without any commotion were Lin Jing and the Wang surnamed Pill Master.

Lin Jing had started sealing the furnace later than the others, and in the middle of the process, he deliberately slowed down his alchemy speed to hide his cultivation and level of alchemy proficiency.

At this point, Lin Jing was still some distance from completing his pill and did not have the urgency, even free to lift his head and check on the others’ progress.

The blue-robed Offering Priest was clearly at the final juncture, currently preparing for pill condensation.

The Wang surnamed Pill Master, however, was sweating profusely and looked rather flustered, presumably having encountered some mishap.

“Bang”

A loud explosion rang out, and unbelievably, someone’s Pill Furnace had exploded.

This person was none other than the Wang surnamed Pill Master.

The explosion was severe, and the whole Pill Furnace of the Wang surnamed Pill Master was shattered, even several fragments of the furnace were blasted out.

One fragment, in particular, flew directly toward Lin Jing.

Lin Jing just happened to look up, startled by the sudden turn of events.

Then he snapped to his senses and, without bothering to control the flames at the base of the furnace, immediately withdrew his Divine Sense, mobilized his Spiritual Power, and tried to stop the oncoming fragment.

But…

Just as the fragment was about to reach Lin Jing, the Steward beside him swiftly intervened, blocking the shard.

Lin Jing was just about to heave a sigh of relief when, shortly after…

“Bang”

“Bang”

Two muffled sounds in succession, and Lin Jing and the other blue-robed Offering Priest’s furnaces exploded at the same time.

“You…

The blue-robed Offering Priest turned his head, his face livid with rage, staring fixedly at the Wang surnamed Pill Master, his gaze as if he wanted to devour him.

Understandably so, for his Elixir Medicine was on the verge of success, but at this critical moment, he was disturbed and this led directly to his furnace exploding.
