Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 99: Ninefold Refinement! The Whole Audience Is Astounded!

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Ninefold Refinement! The Whole Audience Is Astounded!

"This... this is...?" The Rain Master shot to his feet, his face a mask of shock.

The laughter in the hall died. Everyone craned their necks, their eyes wide as saucers, as if they were witnessing the most impossible thing.

Qin Xingchen was even more astounded; his eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. He roared, "How is this possible?! I must be dreaming! How can you refine nine medicinal materials at once?"

Everyone knew that the process of refining medicinal materials was notoriously difficult. One slight misstep, and they would turn to ash. Consequently, most Alchemy Masters refined them one at a time to ensure success.

But Lin Xuan? He was refining nine medicinal materials simultaneously. And he had succeeded. It was too crazy, too incredible. Qin Xingchen felt like he was trapped in a dream.

Bai Qianqian was equally stunned as she watched. She hadn’t expected Lin Xuan’s ability to be so formidable. It seems that kid wasn’t just boasting after all, she thought. He might actually have a chance to surpass Qin Xingchen.

The once-lively hall fell eerily quiet. Everyone was frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan’s fingers were a blur of motion. Once the nine medicinal materials had liquefied, he began the second round of refinement. The surrounding flames billowed like a ferocious beast, swallowing all nine drops of medicinal essence.

Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats. A single mistake would render all his previous efforts useless.

Soon, the flames subsided. The nine drops of medicinal liquid reappeared before them, more crystalline and less turbid than before. Clearly, the second purification had been a success.

"Heavens, what am I seeing?"

"I must be dreaming."

"How can he purify them so effortlessly?"

"Nine medicinal materials at once! What kind of technique is this?"

"Heaven-Burning Fire! That’s the legendary Heaven-Burning Fire!" a Rank-2 Alchemy Master suddenly exclaimed.

The other Alchemy Masters were stunned. What? The technique he’s using is the Heaven-Burning Fire? That’s a top-tier alchemy technique! How does he know it?

Another alchemy genius added, "I recall that within the Great Xia Country, the only person who knows the Heaven-Burning Fire alchemy technique is the Pill King, right?"

"Could this young man have some connection to the Pill King?"

"Could he be a descendant of the Pill King? Or maybe his disciple?"

The crowd stared at Lin Xuan, their faces filled with immense shock.

Qin Xingchen was also reeling from the shock, his expression grim. Before this, I never gave him a second thought, writing him off as a mere clown. But now... it’s like I’ve been slapped across the face. I completely misjudged him. He’s an alchemy genius—a top-tier one at that!

He even knew the Heaven-Burning Fire, an alchemy technique that Qin Xingchen himself couldn’t grasp due to its extreme difficulty. It wasn’t a technique a young man should be able to master, yet Lin Xuan executed it with such ease.

Unbelievable!

But no one was more shocked than Yu Shiqie. Her emotions had gone on a wild ride, from initial disappointment to shock, and now to sheer ecstasy. She looked at Lin Xuan as if he were a priceless treasure. This is the genius the family has been looking for! Hahaha, this is wonderful! I’ve found him!

In the great hall, the crowd’s expressions were a tapestry of emotions. Yet, Lin Xuan remained completely unfazed. He continued to use the Heaven-Burning Fire, purifying the medicinal liquid again and again.

He soon reached the sixth purification.

Everyone grew tense. Qin Xingchen’s fists were clenched. I only managed six purifications. Is this kid going to surpass me?

The outcome was inevitable. Lin Xuan surpassed him, successfully completing the seventh purification.

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Qin Xingchen ground his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. I’ve been outdone. I’ve lost. How could this be? A wave of dizziness washed over him. He had lost to Lin Xuan in the Martial Dao, sent flying by a single palm strike. Now, he had lost to him in the Alchemy Dao as well. He had actually lost to the same person twice. And this person was Bai Qianqian’s Daoist companion. Qin Xingchen couldn’t bear it. At that moment, he nearly coughed up blood from sheer frustration.

But Lin Xuan was still going. After the seventh purification, he proceeded to the eighth and succeeded.

The crowd went wild once more.

So that kid wasn’t just bragging! He really could perform eight purifications! The elixir he was refining would be an Eight-Revolution Supplementing Pill!

He had won. Lin Xuan had won.

Bai Qianqian clapped excitedly, genuinely happy for Lin Xuan.

Yu Shiqie’s eyes shone, fixed unblinkingly on Lin Xuan, her smile radiant.

Just when everyone thought it was over, Lin Xuan began preparing for the ninth purification.

What? He was still going? Was he insane?

The hardest part of a Nine-Revolution Supplementing Pill was the ninth and final purification. Its difficulty surpassed the previous eight combined. This was because nine revolutions signified perfection, a feat as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"Lin Xuan, stop! You’ve already won! There’s no need to take such a risk!" Bai Qianqian pleaded urgently.

Qin Xingchen, who was startled at first, became overjoyed. That kid actually wants to attempt the ninth purification? Hmph, there’s no way he’ll succeed. Just watch. He’s going to fall at the final hurdle. When he fails to produce an elixir, I’ll still be the winner! A thrill of excitement shot through him. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Lin Xuan, however, remained utterly composed. He controlled the flames, which instantly engulfed the medicinal liquid. The process dragged on.

The crowd exchanged uncertain glances. Did he succeed?

"Hahaha, he failed!" Qin Xingchen threw his head back and laughed. "The final purification was a bust! In the end, I am the winner! So what if you know the Heaven-Burning Fire, kid? You’re too arrogant! Thinking you could achieve nine purifications? In your dreams!"

But just then, the flames vanished. A single elixir shot out, flying toward Lin Xuan, who caught it with an outstretched hand.

"What? He succeeded? That’s impossible!" Qin Xingchen cried out in disbelief.

The rest of the crowd was in an uproar, all eyes fixed on Lin Xuan. Had he truly succeeded in the end?

Lin Xuan opened his palm. Resting in its center was a crystal-clear elixir, adorned with nine distinct markings.

A Nine-Revolution Supplementing Pill!

When they saw this, the crowd was stunned. The entire hall fell as silent as a graveyard.

How is this possible? Qin Xingchen’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets as he stared in utter disbelief. He was suppressed—no, completely crushed. He had only managed six revolutions, while his opponent had achieved nine. How could this be? How could this kid’s alchemy skill be so profound?

Qin Xingchen looked utterly broken, his confidence shattered. He had always considered himself a top-tier genius, but now he truly understood the saying: there was always someone better. Lin Xuan was not only younger than him, but his skill in the Alchemy Dao also far surpassed his own.

Lin Xuan glanced at Qin Xingchen and shook his head. "I told you. You’re no match for me."

Qin Xingchen’s face contorted with rage, his body trembling.

"You really refined a nine-revolution pill? Let me see!" Yu Shiqie rushed over, her usual poise and nobility completely forgotten. She took the elixir and examined it carefully. Then, she exclaimed excitedly, "It really is a Nine-Revolution Supplementing Pill! Young Master Lin, you are simply incredible!"

Even though I gave him a chance, I never really believed he could win, she thought. In my mind, Qin Xingchen was always going to be the victor. But who would have thought... Qin Xingchen was utterly defeated, and Lin Xuan’s ability was far beyond anything I could have imagined.

Lin Xuan smiled. "In that case, may I have the Dragon Blood Pill Recipe?"

As he said this, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but clench his fists.
