Chapter 683: Chapter 680: An Astonishing Victory_1

Mu Xue was not full of confidence in herself, but she didn’t like Luo Jin’s insult to Yang Chen. She didn’t think so before, but after listening to Yang Chen’s words just now, she felt that Yang Chen was the greatest person she had ever seen in alchemy. Never before had an alchemist made her admire him so much and enlighten her in an instant with just a few words.

Mu Xue believed that under Yang Chen’s guidance, she would have a much better grasp in refining the Yun Chu Dan.

With this in mind, she had no hesitation and started the alchemy competition with Luo Jin.

They started competing without any idle talk.

Under the referee’s command, Mu Xue and Luo Jin began their alchemy showdown.

The elixir Luo Jin refined was still the fourth-grade middle-stage pills he had made during his first encounter with Wang Tong, which were aided by the Treasure Furnace. He has refined at least five pills, making him almost invincible!

Luo Jin didn’t observe Mu Xue’s alchemy because he didn’t believe Mu Xue could surpass him in this field.

However, Yang Chen carefully observed Mu Xue.

Yang Chen felt somewhat disappointed, as Mu Xue didn’t achieve the desired effect he had expected.

“Mu Xue’s alchemy talent is really subpar,” Yang Chen couldn’t help but agonize.

In fact, Mu Xue’s alchemy talent was considered excellent in the Green Lotus Sect. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been sent to the competition by Li Ruoxiang. But for Yang Chen, that wasn’t the case; his standards were different. To him, Mu Xue’s talent was nothing special.

The reason for his disappointment was that Mu Xue hadn’t reached the expected outcome he had demanded.

He could deduce that simply by observing her refining technique.

“Regardless, Mu Xue has grasped some of the principles and is more than enough to defeat Luo Jin. Judging from her technique, refining two Yun Chu Dan shouldn’t be a problem,” Yang Chen thought to himself.

Refining two Yun Chu Dan, for Mu Xue, was likely to be a breakthrough by leaps and bounds.

But for Yang Chen, that wasn’t saying much. With Mu Xue making such a breakthrough only after receiving his guidance, he didn’t consider this a glorious thing.

Ultimately, it was merely due to Mu Xue’s foundation in Yun Chu Dan.

Time passed as Yang Chen watched everything.

He had already concluded: “Luo Jin has lost.”

But Luo Jin didn’t seem to think so. Because of the treasure furnace, he had completed the pill refining early and took out the elixir from the pill furnace without waiting for the referee’s command.

“It’s a Flying Crane Dan, with five pills in total. Fourth-grade middle-stage pills. Luo Jin’s alchemy techniques are quite mature, and his understanding of Flying Crane Dan is extraordinary. He can almost guarantee that every time he’ll be able to refine Flying Crane Dan, and that’s five pills!”

“Haha, junior brother Luo Jin’s alchemy level is getting more and more proficient!”

Seeing Luo Jin taking out the Flying Crane Dan again, many people already believed it was a sure victory for Luo Jin, and they began to flatter him.

Luo Jin also revealed a confident smile, thinking that he was holding the winning ticket and that there was no chance of failure.

It was precisely because of this mentality that Luo Jin sneered, “I’m telling you, Mu Xue, your alchemy speed is really slow. Hurry up. Anyway, the result will be the same. Why waste time there?”

Mu Xue frowned but didn’t respond. After all, she was at the very end of her alchemy, so she didn’t bother to say anything else.

Let the results speak for themselves.

At this time, Mu Xue was finally finishing her elixir.

As the pill fragrance overflowed, Mu Xue calmly uncovered the pill furnace.

“Mu Xue, what are you dilly-dallying for? Do you really think you can win? Hurry up! Don’t waste everyone’s time!”

“Exactly, Mu Xue, are you trying to build suspense? Haha, who doesn’t know what kind of elixir you’ve refined? Dilly-dallying like that is really a waste of time!”

Many of Elder Zhang Huai’s subordinates spoke mockingly.

Mu Xue had enough composure not to take the ridicule of others seriously. As she uncovered the pill furnace, the Yun Chu Dan appeared in her hand.

Those who initially looked down on Mu Xue’s elixir results and thought the outcome was already determined were actually taken aback. The referee also subconsciously wanted to announce Wei Gang as the winner. But, when they saw the elixir in Mu Xue’s hand, they all widened their eyes in disbelief!

“This is Yun Chu Dan!”

“How is this possible!”

“Mu Xue actually refined Yun Chu Dan?”

Even the referee was astounded. He never imagined that the most powerful of Li Ruoxiang’s chosen would be the relatively unknown Mu Xue. Yun Chu Dan was a fourth-grade high-level elixir!

At this moment, Luo Jin was also very flustered, and his eyes narrowed as he said, “You… you can actually refine a fourth-grade high-level elixir.”

“Why, can’t I?” Mu Xue snorted coldly.

Luo Jin clenched his teeth, “Mu Xue, don’t get too cocky too soon. Even if you refined a fourth-grade high-level elixir, so what? I have refined five Flying Crane Dan, and you only have one Yun Chu Dan. You still can’t beat me. Referee, am I wrong?”

Although he couldn’t believe that Mu Xue had refined the fourth-grade high-level elixir Yun Chu Dan, maintaining his undefeated status was crucial right now!

The referee nodded.

Since he was selected, he had been neutral and would not favor any party. Five Flying Crane Dan and one Yun Chu Dan were indeed almost equal in value and difficult to separate. He said, “Young friend Luo Jin is right.”

Hearing this, Mu Xue looked at Luo Jin as if he was a joke, raising the corners of her mouth, “One Yun Chu Dan indeed can’t win against you, Luo Jin. But aren’t you too confident? Who told you I only refined one?”

With that, she turned her hand over, and another Yun Chu Dan appeared.

As this second Yun Chu Dan appeared, Luo Jin’s pupils contracted sharply, and he swallowed hard. His eyes revealed disbelief and reluctance.

“How is this possible? How is this possible!”

With two Yun Chu Dan, two fourth-grade high-level elixirs against his five fourth-grade middle-stage elixirs, the outcome was clear.

“Luo Jin, do you accept your defeat or not?” At this time, Mu Xue stood up and pointed at Luo Jin, who had been arrogant, and shouted.

It was so gratifying. Mu Xue hadn’t expected that the feeling of winning now would be so exhilarating!

Luo Jin was now red-faced and furious, but in the end, he was the losing party – what could he say?

“Ahem… young friend Luo Jin, you’re eliminated. In this match, Miss Mu Xue has won,” the referee announced.

Seeing this, Yang Chen also nodded with satisfaction.

Mu Xue didn’t disappoint him. Although she didn’t fully meet his expectations, she refined two fourth-grade high-level elixirs and ultimately defeated Luo Jin.

The most shocked people were Li Ruoxiang and her subordinates. At this moment, they stared blankly at the scene in front of them, showing disbelief on their faces. They saw very clearly that an unlikely turnaround happened when Mu Xue, who was supposed to struggle to change the situation, had just lingered in front of Yang Chen for a while and then won!
