Chapter 281: The One I Shattered

sense of desolation and decay.All around were countless chaotic gusts of wind, howling past, and even scattering some unknown shapes of bones.Only behind the ageless form of Gu Bu Lao, there was a ha...Seeing the cauldron explode, engulfing Jiangyun in a massive billow of thick smoke, everyone's expressions froze instantly.

Especially Xiao Zheng, he couldn't help but tremble slightly all over.

Although many people have realized it a long time ago, Jiang Yun's every step is much slower than others', making it highly likely that he won't be able to finish the final refining process on time and thus lose.

But he didn't expect that he would blow up the furnace again.

The other nine people all blew up their furnaces the first time they tried refining, but Ginger Cloud didn't.

This naturally led everyone to believe that even in the realm of alchemy, Jiang Yun was inferior to Guan Yiming.

But at the very least, he should also be comparable to Xiao, and that cave-dwelling cultivator shouldn't be far off either, perhaps even slightly superior.

After experiencing a failed furnace once, these two have successfully completed the refining process. Then, Jiangyun should definitely be able to refine it successfully, but it might just be too late in time.

But now, with the explosion of the Ginger Cloud Dan Furnace, this idea has naturally been overturned.

Even with ample time, Jiang Yun was utterly incapable of successfully refining the Heaven-Mending Pill.

Naturally, this also means that his journey in the art of alchemy at Yaoshending has come to an end.

Although this result made many people feel sorry for Jiang Yun, it is also valuable that he was able to get this far.

After all, not to mention the Yaoshhen Sect, even among all the sects in the Shanhai Realm, throughout history, there has never been anyone like Jiang Yun who, as an outsider, participated in his sect's competition and won all the way to the final round.

Therefore, Jiang Yun is still illustrious despite his defeat.

Besides, it's just a competition.

Failure doesn't mean the end of Jiangyun's journey as an alchemist. He still has a very long road ahead of him.

Especially Xiao Zheng, after a moment of disappointment, he immediately laughed and said: "What do I have to be disappointed about As I expected earlier, Brother Jiang has indeed successfully passed through the four rounds. In that case, it's enough to ask the master to help him refine the medicine."

And besides, Jiang lao-di just graduated recently. This experience will be very helpful for his future path as a pharmacist.

Even, his performance in this grand competition, certainly touched the master's heart. Maybe after the competition ends, he will become my junior brother.

Everyone believed that Jiang Yun had still failed in the fusion of herbs, but only Elder Han knew in his heart that Jiang Yun had actually lost because of his pill furnace.

When Gingercloud first tried to refine the elixir, he almost blew up the furnace. However, with his lightning-fast reflexes, he transformed the flames into ice and snow, freezing the furnace and preventing a disaster.

But he ignored the fact that the alternating extremes of heat and cold made his incense burner unable to withstand it, causing cracks to appear.

Then, for his second attempt at refining the elixir, he once again used twenty-one different flames to burn the scattered flower furnace simultaneously. This caused the cracks on the furnace to multiply until finally, just as Ginger Cloud was about to achieve success in forming the pill, it exploded.

Jiang Yun's scattered flower furnace was not some top-grade alchemy furnace, it was merely an ordinary third-grade one. Among the other nine people present, each person's alchemy furnace rank was at least one grade higher than his.

If Jiang Yun could have a high-grade dan furnace, then perhaps he wouldn't have failed!

But, there aren't those ifs!

Although Elder Han felt sorry for Jiang Yun, after all, this was the Dan Medicine Grand Competition of the Yaosh Shenzong. Losing meant losing, and there was no excuse to make.

Shaking his head, although there were still three breaths of time left, Elder Han was already prepared to announce the results.

Just then, from within the billowing smoke, Jiang Yun's voice rang out: "Complete!"

Two short words, like two bolts of lightning from the heavens, crashed heavily onto everyone's heart.

Then, from the thick fog, a white light suddenly shot out and landed in the astonished hand of Elder Han.

And at this time, the last three breaths had just passed.

Finally caught up!

Through the thick smoke, Ginger Cloud emerged.

He was a sight to behold, completely scorched from head to toe. His hair and clothes were singed black, still smoldering with wisps of smoke. He looked utterly wretched and ridiculous.

But, not a single person laughed.

Under the circumstances of a furnace explosion, Jiang Yun was still able to successfully refine the elixir in the end. This made it impossible for them to believe no matter what.

It's even more unknown how Jiang Yun was able to do it.

"That's great!"

Xiao Zheng took a sudden step forward and came to Jiang Yun's side. He didn't mind the dirt on him at all, and he hugged him tightly, excitedly saying, "Brother Jiang, well done!"

Jiang Yun touched his nose and smiled, "Just good luck!"

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Hahaha! Luck is also indispensable in alchemy!"

Don't get too excited just yet, who knows if what he concocted is actually the Heaven-Replenishing Pill!

Guan Yiming's cold voice sounded again.

However, both Jiang Yun and Xiao Zheng ignored him, still laughing at each other.

However, Elder Han's immediate follow-up voice unceremoniously shut Guan Yiming up: "It's the Heaven Patching Pill!"

As he spoke, the Rejuvenating Elixir in Elder Han's palm suddenly exploded, transforming into thirty-six portions that flew towards the thirty-six officiating pharmacists.

After deliberation by thirty-six pharmacists, it was finally confirmed that the elixir refined by Ginger Cloud was indeed the Rejuvenating Heaven Pill, although it lacked any rank.

And then, the other three also had their individually refined Healing Heaven Pills judged by the pharmacist in the same way.

In the end, the Elixir Master's concoction wasn't the Rejuvenation Pill. Due to an excess of a certain medicinal property, the nature of the pill changed completely.

Xiao Zheng and Guan Yiming, on the other hand, both passed.

However, it has to be mentioned that Guan Yiming's concocted Butian Dan was surprisingly a Human Rank!

To refine the補天丹 (Putian Dan) for the first time and reach the human level is indeed extremely rare.

This result, naturally, made Guan Yiming's heart feel a little better. He addressed Jiang Yun and Xiao Zheng again: "That's right, luck is truly indispensable for you two!"

If it's higher than the medicine rank, then there won't be anything left for you guys down below.

The two of them ignored him completely, but Elder Han suddenly stared at Jiang Yun and said, "How did you do that"

This question is not only something Elder Han wants to know, but everyone else wants to know as well.

How could Jiang Yun have successfully refined the elixir despite the furnace already being destroyed

Ginger Cloud laughed and said, "Actually, that cauldron, I broke it myself!"

"Huh You broke it" the Elder Han asked in surprise.

"Well, the cauldron should have been able to hold out for another ten breaths before exploding."

But by then, the pills I've been refining will be in the final stages of alchemy. There's no chance of saving them.

"So, I might as well take advantage of the fact that the medicinal liquid hadn't started to solidify yet. I wrapped them in spiritual fire and then preemptively shattered the pill furnace."

After hearing Jiang Yun's explanation, everyone suddenly understood, and their admiration for Jiang Yun deepened even further.

Originally, Ginger Cloud not only noticed the crack on the pill furnace a long time ago, but also accurately predicted the time when the pill furnace would explode, and the step of alchemy she was conducting at that time.

Then, he boldly smashed the pill furnace, thus ensuring the successful refining of the elixir!

"Great!"

Elder Han, without reservation, praised Jiang Yun with two words in front of everyone.

"Now, Guan Yiming, Xiao Zheng, Jiang Yun, the three of you rest for a while, and then proceed with the final competition."

After a pause, Elder Han looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Also, Jiang Yun, you don't have any spare pill furnaces left on you, do you"

"If not, I can lend you one!"
