Chapter 131: Chapter 118 Pill Master Lin

Finally, it was time to judge Lin Yuan’s pills. At this moment, Meng Jian was feeling apprehensive, even more nervous than when he himself advanced to a mid-level Pill Master.

"If it weren’t for Hou Sixian having an old relationship with me, how could I have come here to listen to Liu’s nonsense?" Meng Jian sat on the chair, feeling his heart pounding wildly.

"Alas! If Lin Yuan barely manages to produce fifteen pills, for the sake of my dignity, I will allow him to advance to a Pill Master. The way this is going, it’s as if I’m being roasted over a fire." Thinking this, Meng Jian couldn’t help but blush: "I never thought that after competing with old Liu for so many years without losing ground, I would falter on this matter instead."

"No way. No matter what, I must acknowledge Lin Yuan as a Pill Master, even at the cost of my reputation. This has to be done." Meng Jian shook his head and signaled the attendant to wait a moment.

"Lin Yuan." Meng Jian waved Lin Yuan over.

"How many pills did you produce?" When Lin Yuan came closer, Meng Jian used his Yuan Qi to transmit the question in a voice only the two of them could hear.

If the number was insufficient, he would have to step in personally and add a few more pills.

Let Liu mock him, he would accept it.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, "This Pill Master Meng is surely worried that I might not have enough pills, losing face."

Thinking of this, he glanced at the worried expression of the other, and smiled, "Not too many, just fifteen."

"Alright, I understand." Meng Jian took a breath and retrieved the pills hidden in his sleeve.

At least there were fifteen pills; as long as the quantity was enough, it was fine. Whatever rolled out of the porcelain bottle had to be recognized as a low-grade pill even if it wasn’t.

Liu Xun saw the two whispering and knew Meng Jian wanted to play tricks.

His eyes were fixed on Meng Jian, making Meng Jian’s old face turn red and white with embarrassment.

Meng Jian glanced at Lin Yuan once more, pulled his face together, and walked to the table, saying in a deep voice, "Let’s begin."

The other Pill Masters naturally gave Meng Jian face and walked to the table with Liu Xun and Pan Ren.

"Heh heh." Liu Xun chuckled, "Young Lin is a rare alchemy genius. I’m quite curious. Why don’t I take the pills and have a look?"

"Young Lin and I have had a close connection for a long time. I admire him greatly; I can’t let you snatch it." Meng Jian directly reached out and seized the porcelain bottle.

Liu Ju smiled and didn’t contest it.

Everyone knew Lin Yuan’s alchemy skills, and there would be time later to wash away old Meng’s face.

"If the pills in this bottle are too inferior, I’ll mix a mid-grade pill into the next bottle. That way, I can make some excuses." After thinking for a moment, Meng Jian gritted his teeth and removed the stopper.

Clink.

Five pills immediately fell into the porcelain plate.

Five perfectly rounded pills appeared in the porcelain plate once more. Their bodies were smooth, round, and fragrant, with a slight hue of the pill mist resembling a woman’s ribbon, intertwining like smoke, spreading continuously.

"Is this a mid-grade Five Qi Pill?"

"So smooth, so harmonious. It’s several notches better than the Five Qi Pill Pan Ren just made."

Seeing such pills, they were simply the best of the best.

Meng Jian was so taken by the quality of the pills that his eyes were fixed on them.

And Liu Ju wasn’t much better than Meng Jian. Both of them were alchemy enthusiasts; seeing such almost top-grade mid-grade pills was a first in their lives.

They stared at the pills as if they had found their direction forward, constantly pondering the progress space of their own pill refinement in their minds.

And everyone else immediately understood that the unknown Lin Yuan’s alchemy skills far surpassed theirs.

"Young Lin, ah no, Master Lin." The Pill Masters immediately turned their heads and cleared a path for Lin Yuan.

Everyone felt a sense of embarrassment: "Master Lin, please guide us. How should we refine pills of such quality?"

The elder of the Pei family, who had been sitting in the middle, pondering other matters, was also stirred, standing up to listen carefully.

Lin Yuan’s face was calm, unfluctuating.

Indeed, if not for deliberately hiding his own strength, he wouldn’t even bother to refine such low-quality pills, considering it a waste.

But unable to resist the enthusiasm of the Pill Masters, Lin Yuan stepped forward, ready to demonstrate the refining technique for everyone.

Pan Ren stood behind Liu Ju, intensely jealous of Lin Yuan. Originally, he was supposed to shine during this promotion, but now Lin Yuan had stolen the spotlight, and his pill techniques were superior.

Why?

So young and already a mid-level Alchemist, is that possible?

He had immersed himself in the Alchemy Dao for decades, only now sure of his advancement.

This Lin Yuan, at around twenty, couldn’t possibly have reached this level, not even starting from birth.

"Fellow Pill Friends, hear me out." Pan Ren, feeling upset, said loudly, "I’ve heard that Lin’s friend has been refining for a very short time, yet the quality is so high. According to my experience, isn’t this too outrageous?"

Several Pill Masters, hearing this, frowned immediately.

"Fellow Pan Ren makes sense. Such a short refining time yet such high quality is suspicious." Everyone’s hearts stirred.

The Pei family elder, upon hearing this, had a kind look laced with a hint of severity. Although he was mild-mannered, if such deception existed, he would be expelled from the family and never employed again; this was the decision a man in power should make.

Finally, Liu Ju and Meng Jian snapped back to reality.

Meng Jian felt relieved, thinking, "Who would’ve thought Young Lin’s alchemy skills would be so comparable to mine. It’s time to suppress Pan Ren’s arrogance, I’ve long been tired of it."

"It’s time to find the field again. That old guy made me suffer multiple times before. Heh heh." Old Meng trembled with delight, unable to contain his joy.

Seeing this, Meng Jian caught the topic, immediately retorting, "Every refinement technique has its unique characteristics; just because you’re slow doesn’t mean others are."

Old Meng, as if he had taken a stimulant, beamed red-faced, "Young Lin and I have long held mutual admiration; many of my techniques have been inspired by him."

Meng Jian paused, then said earnestly, "You’re still young; go and learn from your master for a few more years. Otherwise, you’ll become a frog in the well, unaware of the vastness of the universe."

After speaking, Meng Jian chuckled lightly, his elder-like demeanor nearly tearing Liu Ju’s beard.

Pan Ren, flushed and pale with anger, was helpless against Meng Jian’s seniority.

Pan Ren refused to accept this and shouted angrily, "I doubt it! Someone must’ve tampered with it!"

"I also find it suspicious. A thorough investigation is needed." Liu Ju stepped forward at that moment, his voice somber.

Liu Ju’s words carried weight far beyond that of Pan Ren.

At this moment, the hall fell silent immediately.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Lin Yuan, waiting for him to speak.

To this dispute, Lin Yuan felt quite helpless.

Wasn’t it over after verifying the pills? How did it cause so much trouble?

"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s open the second batch of pills and take a look." Lin Yuan patiently pointed at the second bottle.

"The second bottle? Aren’t they all low-grade pills? Could there be something unexpected?" everyone was puzzled.

"Perhaps?" Hearing this, Meng Jian suddenly thought of a possibility.

Meng Jian reached out, intending to take it.

"Let me."

Liu Ju suddenly spoke, then snatched the porcelain bottle.

Clink.

Another ten fragrant mid-grade pills.

The quality was not just comparable; it was identical.

Everyone was astonished!

"What! All mid-grade pills? So many?"

"What kind of alchemy technique is this? Three furnaces of pills, producing fifteen mid-grade pills in total. Unbelievable."

"Three furnaces of pills, each a masterpiece. Oh my, this is not just an alchemy genius; I call it an Alchemy Immortal!"

The rising aroma from these pills intoxicated those present. What level of alchemy was this, and what mastery of medicine control?

"I wonder if Master Lin needs an assistant? My granddaughter, aged sixteen, is quite charming." One of the Pill Masters immediately offered, whispering in Lin Yuan’s ear.

"Master Lin, my granddaughter is the same, in her bloom, although slightly on the heavier side at three hundred pounds, she is generous in character. If Master Lin is interested, perhaps she could be matched with a Pill Master." Another Pill Master immediately chimed in.

The conversation was lively.

Three hundred pounds of a slightly chubby physique?

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"So young, with unlimited potential. A future superior Pill Master, even capable of surpassing first rank, advancing to second rank Alchemist." The elder in the center, looking at Lin Yuan with extremely fervent eyes, as if he were a chosen treasure.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Pan Ren shouted, "This man’s alchemy must be a cheat."

Everyone turned to look at Pan Ren upon hearing this.

Pan Ren stepped forward, "Three furnaces of pills, all mid-grade pills; do you think that’s possible? Realistically possible?"

"In your alchemy careers, have you ever heard of such a level of alchemy? If it’s not a fake, I’ll chew and swallow this table!" Pan Ren appeared righteously indignant, exuding a resolute aura.

It made people want to clap in agreement.

Lin Yuan’s cheerful expression turned cold instantly.

"Young Lin." Meng Jian said, feeling a bit suspicious.

After all, in all his alchemy years, he had never heard of such terrifying alchemy skills, impossible even for superior Alchemists.

After recovering from the shock, everyone thought carefully, realizing Pan Ren did have a point.

Seeing all eyes on him.

Lin Yuan stepped forward, staring at Pan Ren, and then slowly arched a smile.

"You’ve never seen this level, have you?"

Glancing at everyone’s faces, he spoke calmly.

"That’s because I wasn’t here before."

"Is it so hard to acknowledge that someone else is strong?"

"Is it so hard to acknowledge that I’m a genius?"

Lin Yuan pointed at his chest, his eyes sharp as swords.

Leaning forward, he stared at Pan Ren and said coldly:

"Is it that hard to admit I’m a master of alchemy?"
