As soon as young master Ying sat down on the throne, there was another stir that came from the crowd.

The crowd quickly parted once again to form another path to the stage, but this time, the atmosphere of the crowd was different.

When young master Hu and young master Ying came through the crowd, the crowd openly cheered for them. However, this time, there were no cheers that came from the crowd, there was only silence.

There was a deathly silence that hung in the crowd as the person walking through made their way to the stage.

This person was the first elder's disciple, young master Jin.

This was a man who was completely different from the other elder disciples.

This was a man who instead of being admired, was feared for his abilities.

He was already a Master Alchemist even though he was under the age of fifty and he was someone that had even refined a Pill Line Pill before.

Even if it was just once, people had already started looking at him like he was a Pill Line Alchemist.

That along with his personality led to him being feared instead of admired. He was feared for his talent, but also because of his cold personality.

Even when he was with people he was close with, he would always be calm and cool, giving off the feeling of a block of ice.

But that just showed how much talent he had and how much respect he commanded.

When he walked in, even young master Ying who was sitting on the throne couldn't help feeling nervous.

He recognized this young master Jin as his final opponent, so he was focused on what young master Jin would do.

After young master Jin made his way onto the stage, everyone waited with bated breath to see what he would do.

After all, young master Jin was the elder disciple with the greatest alchemy skills, so there was no doubt that he would do something shocking. The only question would be if it would be greater than the 95% purity pill that young master Ying had just made.

Young master Jin went slowly as he pulled out his cauldron, placing it down on the ground in front of him.

Then with a single breath, there were flames that appeared in a circle around him.

It was a good thing that everyone on the stage had already backed down expecting this, so there was no one that was hurt by the sudden appearance of these flames.

The flames covered almost the entire stage and burned brightly, but they didn't leave a single mark on the stage itself.

Slowly but surely, this circle of flames closed in on itself. It kept shrinking and shrinking, even moving past young master Jin himself until it completely surrounded the cauldron. Then as the flames surrounded the cauldron, they formed another cauldron of flames just like what young master Hu had done.

However, the difference was that there were several layers of this cauldron of flames that were wrapped up around each other.

This was the higher level of the technique that young master Hu had used.

By using several flame cauldrons wrapped up around each other, he was able to control the temperature even more precisely than young master Hu, which would allow him to better refine his ingredients. However, his demonstration didn't stop there.

After he had finished forming the several flame cauldrons around his actual cauldron, he released another burst of flames around himself.

This burst of flame acted the same way as the first burst of flames he released.

After forming a circle around him that covered the stage, the flames suddenly shrank until they wrapped around his cauldron. The flames came together to form several more layers of flame cauldrons that completely wrapped around the flame cauldrons from before.

Once those flame cauldrons made of a different flame formed, the entire cauldron started to spin along with the flame cauldrons around it.

They spun and spun until finally the flame cauldrons of two different flames came together to form flame cauldrons of a different coloured flame.

This was the technique that young master Ying had used!

This was how young master Jin showed off his pride.

He took the techniques that his rivals had used and used them to a higher level!

As he released the flames, there were shocked gasps that had come from the judges' table.

The second elder couldn't help turning to the first elder and saying, "You! You actually gave him those flames!"

The first elder just revealed a knowing smile and didn't say anything in response.

However, even if he didn't say anything, the other elders knew what had happened.

The two flames that young master Jin had just used were the Flames of East and West. They were famous flames that didn't lose out to the Roaring Bellows Flames, but they were much rarer than the Roaring Bellows Flames.

The only person who currently had these flames was the first elder and for young master Jin to get these flames, the first elder must have been the one to give it to him. However, what they were surprised by wasn't the fact that the first elder gave it to him, but rather how early he had given it to him.

Eventually the Flames of East and West would be given to young master Jin since he was the first elder's best disciple, but that was something that would only happen in the distant future. At the very least, he wouldn't be receiving the Flames of East and West this early.

Unless something had suddenly changed…like this event.

All the other elders had done the same for their disciples, which was how young master Hu got the Roaring Bellows Flames and how young master Ying got the Cleansing Herb.

Otherwise if they went to get ingredients by themselves, they definitely wouldn't have been able to get these things.

Of course, no one could say anything since at the end of the day, all this meant was that the first elder was the most prepared out of all of them.

After he had finished forming the combined flame, young master Jin revealed a faint smile as he started using his own refinement technique. The flames in the cauldron suddenly started to disappear, but it wasn't that the flames were dying down.

Rather the flames inside the cauldron were condensed to the point where there was only a tiny little flame that was left inside the cauldron, but this flame had the firepower of all the flames from before condensed into a single point. The amount of refining power that it now had couldn't even compare to what it was before.

The ingredients were quickly compressed into a single drop of medicinal liquid that was then formed into a pill by young master Jin with a wave of his hand.

Once that was done, he waved his hand again to release all the flame cauldrons around his cauldron until there was only the tiny flame inside left. After the tiny flame inside also dissipated, the pill finally dropped out of the cauldron, but there wasn't a single scent that was released by it.

Young master Jin just picked up the pill and then tossed it onto the table in front of the judges.

The judges all came forward to look over the pill before suddenly knitting their brows and coming forward to sniff it. As they sniffed it, they couldn't help revealing stunned looks.

Finally, one of the elders said, "99% purity pill!"

As soon as this was said, everyone in the crowd revealed gasps of shock.

A 99% purity pill, that was already at the same level as the elders!

Everyone knew that young master Jin's alchemy skills were good, but they never expected that it would be at this level.

Young master Ying had a bitter smile on his face as he stood up from the throne since he knew that this contest had already been decided.

He thought that he had been able to best everyone with his Cleansing Herb trick, but it seemed that his greatest rival was even more prepared than him.

However, before young master Jin could sit down on the throne, there was one more person that appeared.

The crowd parted again to reveal another person walking through towards the stage.

This was the dark horse that everyone had been waiting for, the disciple of the sixteenth elder, young master Aotian.

He had never shown off his true power, so no one really knew just how strong he was, but based on what had happened in the past, they didn't dare look down on him. They were excited to see what he would show them today.

Young master Aotian made his way through the crowd to slowly come up to the side of the stage before jumping up, landing right in front of young master Jin.

As he stared at him, he said, "Brother Jin, I think it's a bit too early to be confident of your victory."

Young master Jin narrowed his eyes to look at young master Aotian before saying, "What are you going to do about it?"

Young master Aotian didn't waste any words as he pulled out his cauldron and his ingredients.

Unlike the other young masters who had released their flames in a flashy manner, young master Aotian just raised his other hand and released a tiny ball of flames in his palm.

He just said with a calm smile, "I'll have to show you then."
