Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 735 - This is Impossible
The disciples of the demon clan that were around Mu Hawk laughed mockingly, sounding extremely loud as it entered Zhang En's ears and everyone who was also on the outside of the area of the venue for the audience.
“Failed pill purification? What the hell is going on over there? Could Zhang En fail in this round ?”
In an instant, everyone in the crowd of the audience area seemed to be talking about it.
The supervisor at this round, named Elder Tao Lee, had received instructions from Mou Li earlier, understanding what Mu Hawk meant by the words had failed to Zhang En.
Tao Lee then immediately announced the results of Zhang En, “Participants named Zhang En, at this stage in the pill-making process had failed with the time used was thirty minutes, five seconds.”
In Tao Lee's eyes, due to the broken potion ingredients that were reserved for Zhang En earlier, no matter how high the pill refining technique Zhang En had, was, the pills would never be successfully concocted, which was why this Tao Lee did not even bother to send their disciples to inspect Zhang En's pill refining room.
With Tao Lee's loud announcement and everyone hearing, the crowd gathered and heard this into an uproar, those who hesitated before made a voice as if in disbelief.
“Zhang En it has failed in this round!”
“He couldn't even make a simple pill like the Recovery Pill, it seemed like the story circulating about his alchemist judgment back then was a fake story!”
As the crowd on the edge of the outside area clamored, Mu Hawk laughed even louder as he looked towards Zhang En, Mu Hawk said, “You have broken the record as a failed participant in a few hundred years with such a fast time!"
Zhang En ignored this Mu Hawk instead. His sharp gaze was directed at Tao Lee instead, speaking, “You're named Tao Lee, right? you didn't even check the pill refining room I used, yet you easily announced the results just like that. Could it be that you're a future fortune teller?"
Hearing Zhang En's words, Tao Lee became speechless, his facial expression darkened. In terms of status, Zhang En could be said to be just one of the many alchemist disciples in the Alchemist Union. But Zhang En instead dared to call him by his name straight away, not calling him an Elder.
Hearing Zhang En's words, the crowd outside the area slightly fell silent, seemingly thinking about what he had just said.
Tao Lee stared coldly at Zhang En, saying, “You only managed to pass your alchemist judgment at that time due to luck. Zhang En, are you perhaps trying to tell me that the refining process of your pill in there is not failing?"
"You nanya? You're wondering? Just check it out yourself and you'll know the answer." Answer Zhang En.
Tao Lee looked at the disciple on duty nearby, ordering, "Go, check out Zhang En's pill refining room and bring out the evidence of his failure so that everyone can see it."
The disciple obeyed respectfully and rushed off to the pill refining room that Zhang En was using.
Everyone is waiting for the outcome. About five minutes later, the student returned.
Wearing an ugly expression on his face, he reached out his hand, which was holding a pill bottle. If one were to see clearly, they would be able to see that his hands were trembling.
Realizing this, Tao Lee's brows inevitably furrowed, wondering if Zhang En had really succeeded in refining his pills?
"Elder Tao, inside this bottle is the Recovery Pill I took from Zhang En's pill refining room." The disciple said as he stood in front of Tao Lee, even his tongue seemed to tremble as he spoke.
The stunned Tao Lee momentarily quickly recovered, asking "Is that a low-grade pill?"
If the pill-making potion was damaged as well as wrong, an alchemist with a high-level technique could turn it into a low-grade pill, even though there was little chance of success. Of course, low grade pills were also considered to be a failure.
Tao Lee was surprised again. "What's? Not a low-grade pill?"
He then took the bottle from the student's hand. Then, Tao Lee removed the bottle cap. Instantly, blue-colored pills appeared one after another in the air.
The medicinal aroma permeated the air, reaching the entire surrounding area and where the crowd was located. Even those who were behind the crowd could even smell the scent emanating from the pill .
"D-this?!"
“Pil God class!”
The pills were divided into lower, lower, upper and god classes.
"Gosh, it's actually a god-class pill!"
Cries were heard from various angles of the crowd, as waves of shock and disbelief were everywhere.
"This is impossible! This is impossible!" Mu Hawk shouted the same word twice, then pointed towards Zhang En, “You must have cheated! The pill wasn't made by you!”
“That's right, you must be cheating!” Tao Lee regained his reasoning, almost screaming as he pointed his finger in anger at Zhang En, “Heh, how dare you cheat in the competition! I revoke your participation qualification right now, and you are forever forbidden from participating in the Ghuang Alchemist Competition!"
The corner of Zhang En's lips curved slightly in a mocking tone, “Create? What proof? Tao Lee, as the Elder of the Alchemist Union, don't tell me you can't even determine that the pill is the pill that was just made.!"
Tao Lee flinched again upon hearing Zhang En's remark. With his eyesight, of course he could see that the pill had just been made.
“Whether he is cheating or not, just look at the recording stone that is inside the pill refining room of Zhang En and let's take a look at the process. We'll know the truth.” Mu Hawk said with a sullen face.
“That's right, Elder. We can check the recording stone in the room .” The student quickly said.
Under Tao Lee's approval, moments later, the disciple returned with a jade slip containing footage from Zhang En's pill refining room.
He then channeled his energy into the jade, rewinding Zhang En's pill refining process.
Watching Zhang En easily manipulate all the potions with his pill refining technique and concocting the pill without any hint of cheating to detect, Tao Lee's face became even uglier as he watched this.
The expression on Mu Hawk's face was as ugly as Tao Lee.
Zhang En then said, "Tao Lee, did I qualify for this round?"
Tao Lee struggled internally for a while, then he took a deep breath, again changing his announcement, “Zhang En, pill refining was successful. The God-class Recovery Pill with the time used was thirty minutes, five seconds!”
Zhang En then said, "Also?"
Tao Lee became confused and asked, “Also what?” He did not understand what Zhang En was telling him.
