Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Exploding Furnace (2/2)
Anybody in his situation would likely find it unbearable.
Even Lin Jing felt the same, his eyebrows furrowed tight, yet he did not lose his composure like the Offering Priest almost did.
Although he had been conducting the alchemy slowly to conceal his skill, everything was actually under his control.
This Elixir Furnace Medicine, he was eighty percent sure that he could produce a Superior Gathering Yuan Pill.
Now disrupted and turned to ashes, to say Lin Jing wasn’t annoyed would be impossible…
At this moment, the Pill Master surnamed Wang hurriedly apologized to both the blue-robed Offering Priest and Lin Jing with a bow:
“Two fellow daoists, I truly apologize. It was my carelessness that caused this explosion of the furnace…”
“After this examination concludes, I will certainly offer some compensation to both fellow daoists to make amends for your losses in this incident…”
At that time, the blue-robed Offering Priest was in a state of extreme anger, absolutely unable to hear any of his explanations:
“What can you compensate with, can you afford it?”
“A Second-Grade Alchemist actually caused the furnace to explode?” “Ridiculous…”
“And to do so at such a critical moment, I believe you did it on purpose.” “Today, no matter what, I will teach you a lesson…”
Having said that, the Offering Priest advanced decisively towards the Pill Master surnamed Wang.
The Pill Master surnamed Wang became panicked and quickly spoke up:
“Fellow daoist, I truly did not do it intentionally, please listen to my explanation…”
However, the Offering Priest did not pay him any heed and continued walking towards him, appearing determined to discipline the Pill Master surnamed Wang before letting the matter rest.
Seeing that his attempts at defense were futile, the Pill Master surnamed Wang looked to Steward Zheng for help in desperation.
“Steward Zheng, save me.”
At this time, Steward Zheng’s face had darkened, a well-conducted examination had turned into such a mess.
“Enough…”
Steward Zheng roared loudly.
In his roar, there was the pressure of a Golden Core Cultivator’s Divine Sense.
That Offering Priest, who was initially blinded by rage, gradually had the anger in his eyes dissipate and his clarity restored after the roar.
It was then he suddenly realized, his behavior might have provoked Steward Zheng. Sensing the trouble, he hurriedly turned around and bowed to Steward Zheng:
“Steward Zheng, I was blinded by anger just now. I hope Steward Zheng can excuse my behavior…”
“What are you all doing…”
Steward Zheng spoke in a stern voice:
“We are in the middle of an examination, not a time to settle your personal grievances…”
“Yes, I understand.”
After speaking, the Offering Priest bowed to Steward Zheng and said:
“Steward Zheng, because of this person’s explosion, the Elixir Medicines we were making have been reduced to ashes.” “Please tell us, Steward Zheng, how should this matter be handled?”
This time, he included Lin Jing as well.
Having said that…
The person looked towards Steward Zheng, waiting for him to provide an answer.
Steward Zheng glanced over the three people and then spoke directly:
“Before the examination began, I had already stated that we would not set up soundproof Formations. ”
“That was to observe your temperament and your true Alchemy skills under unique circumstances.”
“You should know, in a real Alchemy competition, with dozens or hundreds of people performing Alchemy simultaneously, the situation is much more complex than this.”
“Now…”
“A single furnace explosion disrupted your Alchemy, causing you to lose focus and leading directly to the explosion.”
“It seems your composure is not strong enough…’
Following this…
Steward Zheng then announced the outcome of the incident. “The current examination stands, the examination continues..”
