The two of them each selected a Pill Furnace station and stood facing each other.

After discussion, the topic of the competition was set as the "Five-Turn Divine Spirit Pill" that Lin Yang had just refined. Chen Yuan's Materials were provided by Su Yuejin, with a time limit of three hours.

Lin Yang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger and distracting thoughts in his heart. He knew that this battle was not only about his own face, but also the key to whether he could continue to approach Su Yuejin in the future.

"Begin!"

Following the order of the Elder in charge of judging, Lin Yang immediately took action.

He discarded the slight impatience he had felt before, striving for precision in every step.

Especially when handling the "Spirit-Nourishing Flower," he held his breath and focused, strictly following the optimal timing to add it to the Pill Furnace. Although his speed was slower, he was much steadier.

His Comprehension Ability was indeed extraordinary; he could quickly find directions for improvement from criticism and put them into practice.

Throughout the entire process, he was fully focused, with fine beads of sweat even seeping from his forehead, clearly having adjusted his state to the Peak.

In contrast, Chen Yuan's actions caused all the onlookers to be dumbfounded.

He merely tapped the Pill Furnace casually, and the furnace lid lifted. He actually took all the dozen or so medicinal Materials needed to refine the Five-Turn Divine Spirit Pill and, without even looking, threw them all into the Pill Furnace at once!

"What... what is he doing?"

"Is he crazy! The medicinal Materials have different attributes, and their medicinal properties conflict. Throwing them in so recklessly will cause the furnace to explode in an instant!"

"As expected, he is just talking on paper; he doesn't even understand the most basic sequential addition!"

"It's over, it's over..."

For a moment, exclamations and questioning voices rose all over the plaza.

Almost everyone believed that Chen Yuan was giving up on himself, or rather, that he did not understand Alchemy at all.

Even some Disciples who were originally curious about Chen Yuan were now shaking their heads, their faces showing disdain.

Although Lin Yang was focused on his Alchemy, he caught a glimpse of Chen Yuan's actions out of the corner of his eye, and he sneered repeatedly in his heart.

He really is trash! He doesn't even understand the most basic principles, yet he dares to compete with me?

However, Su Yuejin, who was standing not far from Chen Yuan's Pill Furnace station, had initially felt a tightening in her heart, but she soon discovered something unusual.

Chen Yuan's Pill Furnace not only did not show the expected signs of energy turbulence or explosion, but on the contrary, the furnace fire was steady, and the medicinal power inside was not in chaotic conflict, but rather, under the guidance of powerful pill fire, it began to undergo Fusion and purification at an astonishing speed!

Her beautiful eyes widened, and a record she had seen in an extremely ancient Dao of Alchemy classic in the Sect suddenly flashed through her mind:

"...In ancient times, there were great masters of the Dao of Alchemy whose Divine Sense reached the heavens and whose fire control was subtle. They could discern the properties of ten thousand medicines in an instant and use supreme secret techniques to refine all medicinal Materials simultaneously, removing the impurities and keeping the essence, with results a hundred times greater. It is called—the Myriad Streams Returning to the Origin Method!

This method has extremely high requirements for Divine Sense and the control of heat; it cannot be performed by anyone who is not a Great Grandmaster of the Dao of Alchemy..."

"Could... could it be that what Young Master Chen Yuan is performing is the long-lost Myriad Streams Returning to the Origin?!"

A stormy sea surged in Su Yuejin's heart, and the gaze she cast toward Chen Yuan was filled with shock and admiration.

She finally understood why Young Master Chen Yuan dared to claim to be a sixth-rank Alchemist; with such methods, his future would certainly not stop there.

Chen Yuan turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions; he even yawned leisurely.

He pressed his hand lightly in the air above the Pill Furnace, and subtle Law runes flowed at his fingertips, regulating every bit of heat and change in medicinal power within the furnace.

Time passed second by second.

An hour later, a clear ringing sound suddenly came from Lin Yang's side!

He slapped the Pill Furnace with all his might, the furnace lid opened, and four round, glossy Medicinal Pills flew out, which he carefully collected into a jade bottle.

The Medicinal Pills had an inner radiance, and their quality had impressively reached Medium Grade!

"Four pills! All Medium Grade!" Looking at his results, Lin Yang could not help but show an expression of wild joy.

Compared to the three Low Grade pills from last time, this was undoubtedly a huge improvement!

He looked confidently toward Chen Yuan's side, as if he had already seen victory.

As for Chen Yuan, he remained unhurried, his Pill Furnace calm, as if he had not even started.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and a sudden change occurred!

"Hum—!"

A brilliant divine light suddenly shot up into the sky from Chen Yuan's Pill Furnace, piercing directly into the clouds!

Immediately after, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi above the plaza gathered crazily, forming a huge Spiritual Qi vortex. At the center of the vortex, streaks of seven-colored auspicious clouds appeared out of thin air, swirling mistily and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance that was refreshing and delightful!

"Pill Cloud! It's the Pill Cloud phenomenon!"

"Heavens! Only when a Top Grade Spirit Pill is born can it trigger a Pill Cloud!"

"He... he refined a Top Grade Medicinal Pill?!"

The entire Bailian Plaza was completely boiling!

All the Disciples stared dumbfounded at the phenomenon in the sky, almost unable to believe their own eyes.

Such a huge commotion instantly alarmed the entire upper echelon of the Pill God Sect!

Powerful auras shot up into the sky from various mountain Peaks and palaces. Sect Master Su Mubai and several Core Elders at the Body Integration Stage almost simultaneously tore through the Void Realm and appeared above Bailian Plaza!

When they saw the Pill Cloud that refused to dissipate, and Chen Yuan, who was calm and composed below, expressions of extreme shock appeared on all their faces.

"The Pill Cloud condenses and does not dissipate, the medicinal fragrance is pure and flawless... This is the sign that a Top Grade Five-Turn Divine Spirit Pill is about to be completed!"

A white-haired Grand Elder said with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with excitement.

Top Grade Medicinal Pills are hard to find; even if Su Mubai were to do it himself, he could at most refine a fifth-rank high-grade Medicinal Pill.

Su Mubai looked at Chen Yuan with burning eyes, and the last trace of doubt in his heart completely vanished, replaced by unprecedented importance.

A descendant of the Mo family, truly living up to his reputation!

Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, Chen Yuan then unhurriedly tapped the furnace lid lightly.

The furnace lid slid open quietly.

Ten streaks of light, like small golden Dragons, darted out from the furnace, each emitting pure and majestic medicinal power.

They circled and danced in the air, finally falling obediently into the jade bottle that Chen Yuan had prepared long ago.

Everyone focused their gaze and saw that those ten Medicinal Pills were each round and flawless, with naturally formed cloud patterns on the surface, golden light flowing, and a fragrant medicinal scent, which were indeed ten Top Grade Five-Turn Divine Spirit Pills!

A ten-out-of-ten success rate! And all of them were Top Grade!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Everyone was so shocked by this miraculous Alchemy technique that they could not speak.

The wild joy on Lin Yang's face had long since frozen, turning as pale as paper.

He looked at the four Medium Grade Medicinal Pills in his own jade bottle, then at the ten Top Grade Medicinal Pills in Chen Yuan's bottle that were emitting an alluring halo, and an indescribable sense of frustration and despair welled up in his heart.

He had lost, lost completely, thoroughly defeated!

Chen Yuan put away the jade bottle and looked calmly at the ashen-faced Lin Yang, saying indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I accept your concession."

Immediately, he turned to Su Yuejin, who was still immersed in great surprise and shyness, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Miss Su, I have not failed your expectations."

At this moment, there was no need for more words; the outcome of the wager had been decided.

Chen Yuan walked to her side and gave all the Medicinal Pills to her. Completely ignoring the fact that Su Mubai was present, he tucked the hair behind her ear and said softly, "Miss Su, would you be willing to give me a chance to pursue you?"

Su Yuejin looked at him, her heart pounding like a deer, a rosy flush on her cheeks, and the affection in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Su Mubai: Oh no, this look is the same expression her mother had when I was pursuing her back then.
