Upon hearing of Lu Jiuhe’s failed pill refining, Kang Lu’s face instantly paled as if he was soulless and stupefied.

Everyone was also taken aback, Lu Jiuhe is, after all, a top-notch disciple. How could he have failed in refining the mediocre Blood Coagulation Pill?

Even if an average disciple was tasked with refining the Blood Coagulation Pill, the success rate would be as high as 80%. Why did Lu Jiuhe fail?

Elder Zhou glanced back at Fang Lin and saw a smile on his face. He began to understand the situation.

“The shaking of the three mountains not only refers to shaking one’s own Pill Furnace, but also refers to shaking others’. Fang Lin is quite cunning,” Elder Zhou thought to himself.

Far away, Meng Wuyou and Mu Yan saw the outcome and were relieved, but they were also surprised at Fang Lin’s performance.

Whether it was the shaking three mountains or the Smoke like a Flood Dragon, both very rare, yet they appeared on Fang Lin. It added glamour to Fang Lin, making him stand out.

“This kid always surprises us,” Meng Wuyou laughed and said.

Mu Yan faintly smiled and said, “With the Shaking Three Mountains, I’m guessing that Fang Lin will receive lots of attention now. As for the head, who can guess what he’s thinking?”

Meng Wuyou’s smile faintly faded as he said, “The headmaster is very abstruse, but one thing is certain, he won’t let Fang Lin threaten that person’s position.” Mu Yan nodded, choosing not to say anything more.

Elsewhere, Zhao Dengming and Wu Zhen stared at each other, both finding it hard to accept the situation.

“I never expected that Fang Lin was hiding so much. He even knows the ancient Shaking Three Mountain skill which has long been lost. We miscalculated this time,” said Wu Zhen with a grim expression.

Zhao Dengming frowned and said with a gloomy face, “We all know Fang Lin’s background. He comes from a small family, yet he possesses an ancient alchemy skill such as the Shaking Three Mountains. This matter does merit investigation. ”

Wu Zhen nodded. The disciples outside might just be astonished at Fang Lin’s performance, but as elders, they saw more. The key point wasn’t Fang Lin and Lu Jiuhe’s competition. Instead, it was the Shaking Three Mountains technique Fang Lin mastered that deserved significant attention.

Far too many ancient alchemy skills have been lost. Nowadays, pill refiners only glimpse these old techniques within fragments of old texts.

Fang Lin has displayed the Shaking Three Mountains, one of the ancient alchemy methods. Though Fang Lin is still insignificant currently, the presence of this ancient alchemy skill already makes his importance outweigh any of the Pill Sect elders.

“Even if he knows how to shake three mountains, there’s still no room for him at the top,” Zhao Dengming suddenly said with a cold laugh. freewe bnovel.com

Wu Zhen nodded. The Shaking Three Mountains is indeed stunning, but this is the Pill Sect. The Pill Sect’s headmaster is the true master here. To some extent, Fang Lin’s presence is already a threat to that person’s position.

Above the Pill Array, Lu Jiuhe came to senses. The moment he awakened, he lost himself looking at the contents of the Pill Furnace.

When he saw the black residue, he almost fainted again.

“How could this happen?” Lu Jiuhe, heartbroken, felt the world was crashing down. He couldn’t believe what was before his eyes and even slapped himself to check if he was dreaming.

After being dazed for quite a while, Lu Jiuhe reluctantly had to accept that he had failed at pill refining.

Elder Zhou coughed lightly and said, “Lu Jiuhe, according to the previous agreement, you should hand over the Hundred-year Ganoderma to Fang Lin.”

Upon hearing this, everyone sympathetically looked at Lu Jiuhe. His loss was huge. He not only lost face but also had to give away such an expensive Hundred-year Ganoderma. This time, Lu Jiuhe tripped and fell harder than he ever had in his whole life.

Lu Jiuhe’s face reflected his grief, indignation, and most of all his unwillingness. He had confidence in his alchemy skills. He just couldn’t understand how he could fail at refining the mere Blood Coagulation Pill.

Suddenly, Lu Jiuhe realized something. Towards the end of the alchemy process, his Pill Furnance had strangely started shaking.

Lu Jiuhe was sure that his failure in refining had something to do with this shaking of the Pill Furnace.

“Could it be Fang Lin’s doing?” Lu Jiuhe glared at Fang Lin while the latter remained aloof.

“Lu Jiuhe, did you hear what I said?” Seeing that Lu Jiuhe had no intention of taking out the Hundred-year Ganoderma, Elder Zhou spoke with a hint of annoyance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiuhe had no choice but to take out the Hundred-year Ganoderma reluctantly, even though it broke his heart to part with it, and handed it over to Elder Zhou.

Elder Zhou examined it carefully in his hand, confirming it was indeed the Hundred-year Ganoderma. Only then did he turn around and hand it over to Fang Lin.

Seeing the Hundred-year Ganoderma fall into Fang Lin’s hands, Lu Jiuhe was filled with resentment. He quickly packed up his Green Rock Cauldron and turned to leave.

He didn’t want to stay in this place which had brought him great humiliation, and he didn’t want to hear people’s mockery of him.

Most importantly, he didn’t want to witness the scene of Fang Lin storing his Hundred-year Ganoderma.

Lu Jiuhe hurriedly left and went unnoticed, as everyone’s eyes were on Fang Lin.

This moment belonged to the victor.

In the crowd, one Martial Sect disciple said with a smile, “This Fang Lin really does have some skills. It seems we can ask him to help us refine pills in the future.”

“While this kid does seem quite smug, his alchemy skills are undoubtedly good. We could indeed befriend him,” said another Martial Sect disciple, nodding in agreement.

Kang Lu and his group also walked away with their tails between their legs. Fang Lin had won, leaving their plans in ruin.

In the Great Hall of Pill Sect, Gu Daofeng stood behind the iron case with his hands clasped behind his back, immovable like a pine.

“Fang Lin won and even used the ancient Shaking Three Mountain’s alchemy method,” a young man with a smile told Gu Daofeng in the hall below.

“Shaking Three Mountains?” Gu Daofeng turned around, with a surprised expression on his scholarly face.

The youth laughed and said, “Are you surprised? When I saw it with my own eyes, I was even more surprised than you.”

Gu Daofeng fell into deep thought for a long time and then said, “Make the Pill Pavilion take action and get the Shaking Three Mountains method.”

The youth nodded and then left the grand hall.

Although the competition on the Pill Array was over, the disturbance it caused continued for quite a long time.

Not only the Pill Sect, but even the Martial Sect had many people discussing the name Fang Lin.

Fang Lin was originally thinking about how to make a name for himself within the Martial Sect. This alchemy competition just happened to be the perfect opportunity to raise his profile.

The day after the alchemy competition, there were Martial Sect disciples coming to establish friendships with Fang Lin. Fang Lin, of course, was more than welcoming and even generously gifted them each a Blood Coagulation Pill.

Within one day, all nine Blood Coagulation Pills refined during the competition were given away. Although painful, this kind of expenditure was necessary. At least those Martial Sect disciples who received the pills would certainly say nothing but good things about Fang Lin at the Martial Sect..
