Chapter 387: The Legendary Realm Appears Again!

When he returned, Tong Wenchang's emotions had calmed considerably.

He sneered coldly at Ye Yuan, who was still resting with his eyes closed, then went back to his own workstation.

“The third match begins!”

Tong Wenchang did not act immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath to steady his mind before starting to prepare the medicine.

The herbs were already prepared; an alchemist only needed to mix them according to the formula and refine them into a medicinal embryo. This was naturally no difficult task for Tong Wenchang.

Soon, Tong Wenchang had the herbs mixed, but he inexplicably glanced at Ye Yuan.

That glance nearly made him spit blood again.

That bastard Ye Yuan was actually resting with his eyes closed again!

He had been busy for half the day, yet Ye Yuan still hadn't started!

Damn it, can you stop showing off like this?

Once, twice, and now a third time!

“Don't mind him! Don't mind him! I just need to follow my own pace! He's only an intermediate grand alchemist; there's no way he can refine the Blazing Flame Ascending Dragon Pill!” Tong Wenchang kept admonishing himself.

After silently repeating it ten times, his emotions finally stabilized a bit.

This time, he swore he would not look at Ye Yuan again!

…

About half an hour later, Tong Wenchang was nearing the end of refining the medicinal embryo.

Just then, Ye Yuan finally moved!

He went to the workstation, directly crushed the herbs and mixed them together, then immediately began refining the medicinal embryo!

“Is... is that how you mix herbs? He... he didn't even weigh them?”

“Damn, today I've really seen it all! If Ji Qing can refine the Blazing Flame Ascending Dragon Pill like this, we quasi-king alchemists might as well go drown ourselves!”

“You'd better be careful with those words. Ji Qing has already created two miracles in a row; who says he can't create another?”

…

The hand-grabbing method of mixing herbs shocked everyone again.

But Ye Yuan was now fully in the zone, completely indifferent to the outside world.

Then came the refining of the medicinal embryo. Ye Yuan's fingers moved like phantoms, completing the refinement at lightning speed!

The crowd was startled to realize that Ye Yuan had finished refining the medicinal embryo at the same time as Tong Wenchang!

What... what level of skill was this!

“Today I've truly learned something! So mixing herbs and refining the medicinal embryo could be done like this!”

“Heh, I was worried earlier that Ji Qing might lack practical skill, but now it seems that worry was completely unnecessary.”

“Yeah, if there's no problem with mixing and refining, then Ji Qing is truly incredible!”

“Whether there's a problem, we'll know soon! If the proportions are off, even if Ji Qing were a reincarnated deity, he couldn't produce a finished pill. Hmm? He's starting!”

Everyone held their breath, eager to see if Ye Yuan would do something astonishing again while alchemizing.

Ye Yuan certainly did not disappoint!

“Three Talents Reincarnation Art, activate!”

The furnace fire surged, and Ye Yuan's figure vanished from the spot!

At the same time, the Star Abyss Emperor, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, staring intently in Ye Yuan's direction!

“What kind of refining technique is this? So formidable!”

“Never heard of it! This isn't alchemy; it's a performance of movement techniques!”

“No, I feel that Ji Qing's refining method is very unusual! Did you see clearly? As he moves, he's actually forming hand seals!”

“Of course I saw that! But what benefit does forming seals like that have for pill formation?”

“I don't know, but did you notice? He circles the cauldron and only forms seals at three fixed points!”

“That's true!”

…

With his soul power now at the intermediate grand alchemist level, Ye Yuan found it much easier to perform the Three Talents Reincarnation Art than when he was at the Liquid Soul Realm.

His movement was faster than before, and his seals were more stable and precise!

Gradually, a strange atmosphere spread through the hall.

In everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan's figure seemed to slow down, becoming clearer and clearer, as if in slow motion.

Of course, even in slow motion, Ye Yuan's movements were still very fast because his actual speed was so high.

Everyone felt a sense of aesthetic pleasure; to them, Ye Yuan's alchemy process was like an art form!

They watched, mesmerized, as if in a dream.

In this state, time flew by.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and then Ye Yuan gave a soft shout: “Condense!”

At that moment, the cauldron was enveloped in a seven-colored light that lingered for a long time!

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence, as if time had frozen. Only Tong Wenchang's sweat-drenched movements reminded people that time was still flowing.

But compared to Ye Yuan's alchemy process, Tong Wenchang's alchemy seemed like a clown's act, utterly devoid of beauty.

After a long while, someone uttered two words—“Legendary realm”—breaking the deathly silence.

“The legendary realm, this is the legendary realm! Heavens, I never thought I'd see the legendary realm in my lifetime!”

“So beautiful! Alchemy, such a tedious task, has been rendered by Ji Qing with such breathtaking beauty. It's truly incredible.”

“Watching Ji Qing alchemize just now made me feel like I was floating on air; even now, the memory lingers!”

…

After the silence, exclamations of amazement erupted.

The several king alchemist elders at the head exchanged glances, seeing shock and... envy in each other's eyes!

Yes, as alchemists, this was the realm they pursued all their lives!

They never imagined that such a realm would appear in a sixteen-year-old youth!

“I'm done.” Ye Yuan said indifferently, then returned to his seat to rest with his eyes closed.

On the other side, Tong Wenchang was still alchemizing desperately.

He was also in his own zone, completely unaware of Ye Yuan's performance, and naturally didn't know that everyone was now looking at him with sympathetic eyes.

Another half hour passed, and Tong Wenchang finished alchemizing.

“Hahaha... My Blazing Flame Ascending Dragon Pill is at least mid-grade, possibly even top-grade! Ji Qing, you're definitely losing this round!”

Tong Wenchang clearly hadn't noticed the situation; he burst into wild laughter after forming the pill.

But soon, he sensed something was off.

“Huh? What's going on? Why is everyone looking at me like that? I've refined a mid-grade or even top-grade Blazing Flame Ascending Dragon Pill! Even among primary quasi-king alchemists, few could manage that, right?” Tong Wenchang was bewildered.

“Bring forth the pills of Ji Qing and Tong Wenchang. I think there's no suspense in this match. No, I should say the suspense is even greater! I believe everyone wants to know what grade of Blazing Flame Ascending Dragon Pill Ji Qing has refined?” Yang Xiu said, slightly excited.
