Chu Liuyue seemed completely oblivious to the various discussions.
In truth, even if she did hear them, she didn't care.
She had performed alchemy far too many times.
Even if her Original Force was insufficient now, her former sharpness and experience remained.
This made things much easier for her.
She unhurriedly added the third medicinal ingredient.
Seeing Chu Liuyue handle the ingredients so methodically, the surrounding clamor gradually died down.
The crowd looked at one another in surprise.
From the looks of it, Chu Liuyue didn't seem like someone who knew nothing at all; in fact, her movements were even more fluid and natural than those of the others on the field!
She was so practiced, as if she had performed this countless times before.
The triumphant smile in Cheng Han's eyes gradually faded.
As Chu Liuyue processed the remaining ingredients one by one, the expectation in his heart—which had originally been waiting to see a joke—withered away invisibly.
He was a Level 5 Heavenly Physician; his eyesight was incomparably stronger than that of an ordinary person.
Of course, he could also see the startling talent that Chu Liuyue was gradually displaying!
At first, he had held onto a bit of luck, thinking that Chu Liuyue was merely a "blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse," having coincidentally found that specific balance point for alchemy.
But gradually, his heart sank inch by inch.
Situ Xingchen did not possess the keen eyesight of Zuo Rong and the others, but she did have considerable experience in alchemy.
When she saw the Sky Waist Fruit inside Chu Liuyue's cauldron—which should have long since shattered and been destroyed—still floating there completely intact, she finally realized that something seemed to be slipping out of control.
Her brow gradually furrowed.
Why did everything become so strange whenever it involved Chu Liuyue?
It was like this during the previous match between the Mystic Masters and the Warriors, and now it was like this as she began alchemy today!
Could there be something wrong with that Sky Waist Fruit?
But these ingredients had all been prepared, and she had checked them beforehand; the two sets of ingredients were identical.
As time passed bit by bit, a casual glance revealed that the ingredients beside Chu Liuyue had already been halfway processed!
Situ Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.
By a rough calculation, Chu Liuyue's speed of alchemy was actually faster than her own!
The key was that Chu Liuyue was not rushing for results; instead, she maintained a calm expression throughout.
It didn't even look like she was moving much, yet she had already progressed to this stage!
An unease surged in the depths of Situ Xingchen's heart, and she unconsciously gripped her cuffs.
Her fingers rubbed against the fabric.
Those were the cloud patterns she had personally embroidered.
In the past, whenever she was nervous or in a bad mood, she would secretly pinch her cuffs and rub those cloud patterns to help her calm down quickly.
But now, what surfaced in her mind was no longer that person's elegant grace, but rather a mass of fiercely burning flames! And those charred, curled patterns!
As if burned by fire, she hurriedly let go of her sleeves.
Yet, an endless surge of anger and humiliation welled up in her heart!
She slowly looked toward Chu Liuyue, suddenly remembering that Rong Xiu had been the one to lead Chu Liuyue away that day.
Shortly after that, the Prince Li Mansion had thrown out all the clothes bearing those cloud patterns and burned them in public!
Could it be that Chu Liuyue had said something to Rong Xiu?
Otherwise, why did it have to happen at that exact moment, giving her such immense humiliation!
Her breath hitched, her body trembled slightly, and she struggled to suppress her emotions.
Only the hatred she held for Chu Liuyue deepened by another layer.
*Buzz!*
A ripple of energy drifted over!
On the field, inside the cauldron in front of Leng Chuan, the flames gradually receded, and a round medicinal pill was spinning rapidly!
A thick medicinal fragrance diffused through the air!
An invisible ripple spread out in all directions!
Leng Chuan struck the cauldron forcefully with both hands. Following a humming sound, the pill flew into his hand!
Cheng Lixue stood up excitedly—he succeeded!
Only after Leng Chuan placed the pill into a jade box did he look toward the Heavenly Physicians.
His forehead was covered in sweat and his lips were pale; clearly, refining this single pill had not been an easy task for him.
Although it had consumed a great deal of energy, he had ultimately succeeded!
He took a deep breath, trying his best to appear composed, but the corners of his mouth had already curled up unconsciously.
Then, he walked toward Elder Feng Yi and the other two, respectfully presenting the jade box with both hands.
A flash of displeasure crossed Mo Cang's eyes.
Elder Feng Yi, however, showed no expression as he gently opened the jade box.
A bright green medicinal pill lay quietly inside.
Four patterns were engraved upon it, clearly visible!
"A Grade 4 pill!"
Beside him, Cheng Lixue caught sight of it and couldn't help but cry out in pleasant surprise!
The crowd broke into an uproar.
A Grade 4 pill proved that Leng Chuan was now a true Grade 4 Heavenly Physician!
"Not bad, it is indeed a Grade 4 pill."
After examining it carefully, Elder Feng Yi pushed the pill toward the other two and smiled at Leng Chuan.
"Congratulations."
The smile on Leng Chuan's face widened
"Thank you, Elder Feng Yi!"
"It is merely Grade 4 Low; it is a bit early to be happy, isn't it?" Mo Cang remarked coldly after taking a look.
Leng Chuan instantly became embarrassed.
Cheng Lixue, however, could not stand it and sneered
"Grade 4 Low is still Grade 4! Regardless, this is the first Grade 4 pill of the day! Besides, whether there will be a second one remains to be seen!"
Stifled by her words, Mo Cang turned his head away in irritation.
Cheng Lixue returned the jade box to Leng Chuan and smiled with satisfaction
"Good performance."
Only then did Leng Chuan relax
"Thank you, Elders."
The nearby judging teacher picked up a pen to record the result.
Cheng Lixue sat down blissfully, adopting a poised manner as if victory were already secured
"Feng Yi, I think Ji Zixing from your academy is quite good, but his alchemy speed is a bit slow! With the remaining time, I wonder if—"
*Buzz!*
A humming sound suddenly echoed from the field once again!
Cheng Lixue looked over, and her voice stopped abruptly!
That commotion—it was actually coming from the cauldron in front of Chu Liuyue!
She was actually about to form a pill too!?
