Cultivation Pet Shop

As soon as his voice fell, he raised his cauldron to put the flames and the ingredients in with just a single flick of his hand.

Once he put the flames in, he let the cauldron fall to the ground, almost as if he didn't care about the cauldron. However, the sounds from the cauldron clearly showed that he was currently refining the ingredients that he had put in.

Unlike the other three before him, his method of refining wasn't flashy at all. All that young master Aotian did was put the ingredients in and slowly use his flames to refine them.

After a few minutes of just watching him slowly refine his ingredients, young master Aotian finally opened up the cauldron to reveal the pill that he had refined.

​ This was a very normal looking pill, without any patterns on it at all. It was a pill that was just a smooth sphere of a single colour without having anything special about it.

Young master Aotian just calmly picked up the pill and placed it on the table in front of the judges, just calmly waiting for them to deliver their verdict.

The judges didn't rush it and slowly looked over the pill, but as they continued looking over the pill, the looks on their faces changed from calm looks to looks of shock.

They all came closer to it and gave strong sniffs, but they found that they weren't able to smell a single thing from this pill. It was almost as if all the medicinal essence of the pill was sealed inside of the pill.

But if that was the case, then that would mean…

A 100% purity pill!

This was a 100% purity pill!

They all looked at young master Aotian in shock as they couldn't figure out how he had done it.

This kind of pill was something that even they couldn't accomplish unless it was a very special situation.

Only the Alchemy Master could refine a 100% purity pill as simple as this!

But this youngest disciple of the sixteenth elder had done this!

However, as far as they knew, they never heard of the sixteenth elder's youngest disciple having this kind of ability. As elders, they naturally knew more than the normal disciples and they knew that the sixteenth elder's youngest disciple had only just reached the threshold of being a Master Alchemist.

Something like this was definitely out of his reach.

That was unless…

However, even if they had their speculations, even if they were unwilling, they had to admit that this 100% purity pill was the greatest pill that had been refined during this contest. They had no choice but to admit that the sixteenth elder's youngest disciple had produced the best result.

Seeing the looks on the faces of his master and the other judges, young master Jin started to feel a bit nervous.

After all, these weren't expressions that showed that he had won. Rather, these were expressions that made it seem like he was about to lose…

And as he expected, the head judge, Elder Fu came forward to say, "This is a 100% purity pill and is the best pill refined today, so the sixteenth elder's youngest disciple has the right to sit on the throne."

When Elder Fu said this, even he was a bit nervous.

Everything had been going according to Lin Fan's plan, but now this 100% purity had thrown a wrench in the plan. Even Lin Fan never would have expected that someone would produce a 100% purity pill.

Elder Fu knew that Lin Fan could refine 100% purity pills because of his time on the Blue Star Planet, so he hadn't been worried when young master Jin had refined the 99% purity pill. But even if Lin Fan were to refine a 100% purity pill now, that would mean that he would tie with the sixteenth elder's youngest disciple.

Young master Aotian on the other hand had the look of a winner as he slowly walked over to the empty throne.

Young master Jin had been watching young master Aotian the entire time, so he hadn't taken his place on the throne yet. However, before he could even sit down on the throne, he had already been knocked off the throne.

There was nothing more humiliating than this…

After young master Aotian sat down, he looked around and said, "I think that this should be the end of this event, right? Is there anyone else that wants to challenge me for this throne?"

The reason why he said this was because he was confident that there were no more threats to his path to marrying Song Shu. He could already see the two of them at their wedding ceremony already.

Of course, this young master Aotian didn't just want to marry her because of the power he would have in the future. Rather, he wanted to marry her because he was truly in love with her.

It had happened on the first day that he met her.

When he saw her for the first time, his first thought had been, "How could there be someone this cute?"

Ever since then, he had tried everything to get closer to her, but he had never been able to get her attention. It was always as if there was someone else who was already on her mind.

But now, at least he would have the right to marry her.

At least he had a way to start making his way into her heart.

That was what he thought to himself, but he was wrong.

He had thought that after he took care of those other elder disciples, there wouldn't be any other threats because the only other possible threats would be Lin Fan and Yuki.

Yuki was a woman, so it was very unlikely that she would be interested in this kind of event. As for Lin Fan, he had already made his promise that he wouldn't be participating in this event.

Of course, young master Aotian wouldn't just believe any promises, but he believed Lin Fan's promise because of the position that he was in.

Lin Fan was someone that was unknown and he had just entered the Alchemy King Hall. He had promised all these elder disciples that he wouldn't enter this contest and if he broke that promise, that would be offending all of them.

With his current position, Lin Fan would be crazy to do something like that.

So young master Aotian was confident in his victory.

It was a pity that Lin Fan was indeed crazy.

After young master Aotian sat down and when everyone thought that this was over, Lin Fan suddenly stood up from his seat in the crowd and made his way onto the stage.

At first, no one noticed him since their attention had been on young master Aotian and he silently made his way to the stage. However, as he came closer and closer, there were people that finally noticed him and created a path for him.

The crowd was like a wave, once someone moved, it was hard for the others to stop, so a path was quickly created for Lin Fan.

Everyone was surprised to see him walking onto the stage, but none were more confused than the elder disciples that Lin Fan had made his promise to.

What was he doing?

Was he planning on participating in this event now?

None of them believed that Lin Fan would do something as crazy as this, but they still had to consider all the worst possibilities.

Of course, that didn't matter for the defeated elder disciples. The only one that really had to worry was young master Aotian.

For some reason, as he saw Lin Fan walking to the stage, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

He kept saying to himself that there was nothing that could beat a 100% purity pill at this point, but even then, he couldn't calm himself down.

So young master Aotian couldn't help saying, "Brother Lin, are you planning on refining a pill as well?"

Lin Fan had reached the stage at this point and he looked at young master Aotian with a smile as he said, "Brother Aotian, I just came onto the stage to test my own skills. Of course, I'm not interested in winning, but this is a good chance to show off my abilities, don't you think?"

Young master Aotian gave a cold snort deep down when he heard this as he thought, "Who would believe this?" However, he still said with a smile, "Brother Lin, I'm sure there are plenty of other places where you can show off your skills. Can you please just leave this spotlight to me?"

Lin Fan said with the same smile, "Young master Aotian, a good foil will always make you shine brighter. You have nothing to fear."

Even if Lin Fan said this, young master Aotian still couldn't settle down.

But there was nothing that he could do.

After all, this was a public contest that was backed by several elders. This wasn't a place where he could force Lin Fan to not participate in this contest.

But still, he wasn't willing to accept this as he said in a lower voice that only those on the stage and those with a certain level of skill could hear, "Brother Lin, are you breaking your promise of not participating in this contest?"

Lin Fan just said in the same lowered voice, "Of course not. I'm not participating in the contest, I'm just testing my skills." After a pause, he added, "I would never dream of breaking my promise…" Then he said in a low voice that only he could hear, "Yet."

Young master Aotian saw that he couldn't persuade Lin Fan, so there was nothing else he could say as he just gave a gesture that invited Lin Fan to do what he wanted.

Lin Fan gave a nod back before pulling out his cauldron and his ingredients.

When the people in the crowd saw this, they couldn't help being shocked.
