As soon as young master Ying sat down on the throne, there was another stir that came from the crowd.


    The crowd quickly parted once again to form another path to the stage, but this time, the atmosphere of the crowd was different.


    When young master Hu and young master Ying came through the crowd, the crowd openly cheered for them. However, this time, there were no cheers that came from the crowd, there was only silence.


    There was a deathly silence that hung in the crowd as the person walking through made their way to the stage.


    This person was the first elder''s disciple, young master Jin.


    This was a man who waspletely different from the other elder disciples.


    This was a man who instead of being admired, was feared for his abilities.


    He was already a Master Alchemist even though he was under the age of fifty and he was someone that had even refined a Pill Line Pill before.


    Even if it was just once, people had already started looking at him like he was a Pill Line Alchemist.


    That along with his personality led to him being feared instead of admired. He was feared for his talent, but also because of his cold personality.


    Even when he was with people he was close with, he would always be calm and cool, giving off the feeling of a block of ice.


    But that just showed how much talent he had and how much respect hemanded.


    When he walked in, even young master Ying who was sitting on the throne couldn''t help feeling nervous.


    He recognized this young master Jin as his final opponent, so he was focused on what young master Jin would do.


    After young master Jin made his way onto the stage, everyone waited with bated breath to see what he would do.


    After all, young master Jin was the elder disciple with the greatest alchemy skills, so there was no doubt that he would do something shocking. The only question would be if it would be greater than the 95% purity pill that young master Ying had just made.


    Young master Jin went slowly as he pulled out his cauldron, cing it down on the ground in front of him.


    Then with a single breath, there were mes that appeared in a circle around him.


    It was a good thing that everyone on the stage had already backed down expecting this, so there was no one that was hurt by the sudden appearance of these mes.


    The mes covered almost the entire stage and burned brightly, but they didn''t leave a single mark on the stage itself.


    Slowly but surely, this circle of mes closed in on itself. It kept shrinking and shrinking, even moving past young master Jin himself until itpletely surrounded the cauldron. Then as the mes surrounded the cauldron, they formed another cauldron of mes just like what young master Hu had done.


    However, the difference was that there were severalyers of this cauldron of mes that were wrapped up around each other.


    This was the higher level of the technique that young master Hu had used.


    By using several me cauldrons wrapped up around each other, he was able to control the temperature even more precisely than young master Hu, which would allow him to better refine his ingredients. However, his demonstration didn''t stop there.


    After he had finished forming the several me cauldrons around his actual cauldron, he released another burst of mes around himself.


    This burst of me acted the same way as the first burst of mes he released.


    After forming a circle around him that covered the stage, the mes suddenly shrank until they wrapped around his cauldron. The mes came together to form several moreyers of me cauldrons thatpletely wrapped around the me cauldrons from before.


    Once those me cauldrons made of a different me formed, the entire cauldron started to spin along with the me cauldrons around it.


    They spun and spun until finally the me cauldrons of two different mes came together to form me cauldrons of a different coloured me.


    This was the technique that young master Ying had used!


    This was how young master Jin showed off his pride.


    He took the techniques that his rivals had used and used them to a higher level!


    As he released the mes, there were shocked gasps that hade from the judges'' table.


    The second elder couldn''t help turning to the first elder and saying, "You! You actually gave him those mes!"


    The first elder just revealed a knowing smile and didn''t say anything in response.


    However, even if he didn''t say anything, the other elders knew what had happened.


    The two mes that young master Jin had just used were the mes of East and West. They were famous mes that didn''t lose out to the Roaring Bellows mes, but they were much rarer than the Roaring Bellows mes.


    The only person who currently had these mes was the first elder and for young master Jin to get these mes, the first elder must have been the one to give it to him. However, what they were surprised by wasn''t the fact that the first elder gave it to him, but rather how early he had given it to him.


    Eventually the mes of East and West would be given to young master Jin since he was the first elder''s best disciple, but that was something that would only happen in the distant future. At the very least, he wouldn''t be receiving the mes of East and West this early.


    Unless something had suddenly changed…like this event.


    All the other elders had done the same for their disciples, which was how young master Hu got the Roaring Bellows mes and how young master Ying got the Cleansing Herb.


    Otherwise if they went to get ingredients by themselves, they definitely wouldn''t have been able to get these things.


    Of course, no one could say anything since at the end of the day, all this meant was that the first elder was the most prepared out of all of them.


    After he had finished forming thebined me, young master Jin revealed a faint smile as he started using his own refinement technique. The mes in the cauldron suddenly started to disappear, but it wasn''t that the mes were dying down.


    Rather the mes inside the cauldron were condensed to the point where there was only a tiny little me that was left inside the cauldron, but this me had the firepower of all the mes from before condensed into a single point. The amount of refining power that it now had couldn''t evenpare to what it was before.


    The ingredients were quicklypressed into a single drop of medicinal liquid that was then formed into a pill by young master Jin with a wave of his hand.


    Once that was done, he waved his hand again to release all the me cauldrons around his cauldron until there was only the tiny me inside left. After the tiny me inside also dissipated, the pill finally dropped out of the cauldron, but there wasn''t a single scent that was released by it.


    Young master Jin just picked up the pill and then tossed it onto the table in front of the judges.


    The judges all came forward to look over the pill before suddenly knitting their brows anding forward to sniff it. As they sniffed it, they couldn''t help revealing stunned looks.


    Finally, one of the elders said, "99% purity pill!"


    As soon as this was said, everyone in the crowd revealed gasps of shock.


    A 99% purity pill, that was already at the same level as the elders!


    Everyone knew that young master Jin''s alchemy skills were good, but they never expected that it would be at this level.


    Young master Ying had a bitter smile on his face as he stood up from the throne since he knew that this contest had already been decided.


    He thought that he had been able to best everyone with his Cleansing Herb trick, but it seemed that his greatest rival was even more prepared than him.


    However, before young master Jin could sit down on the throne, there was one more person that appeared.


    The crowd parted again to reveal another person walking through towards the stage.


    This was the dark horse that everyone had been waiting for, the disciple of the sixteenth elder, young master Aotian.


    He had never shown off his true power, so no one really knew just how strong he was, but based on what had happened in the past, they didn''t dare look down on him. They were excited to see what he would show them today.


    Young master Aotian made his way through the crowd to slowlye up to the side of the stage before jumping up,nding right in front of young master Jin.


    As he stared at him, he said, "Brother Jin, I think it''s a bit too early to be confident of your victory."


    Young master Jin narrowed his eyes to look at young master Aotian before saying, "What are you going to do about it?"


    Young master Aotian didn''t waste any words as he pulled out his cauldron and his ingredients.


    Unlike the other young masters who had released their mes in a shy manner, young master Aotian just raised his other hand and released a tiny ball of mes in his palm.


    He just said with a calm smile, "I''ll have to show you then."
