Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Failure or Success?

Gao Zhao Hai completely ignored the infuriated gazes from Alchemist Liu Wen and other pill masters, he practically yearned for Liu Wen and others to chide him loudly.

It would be best if they caused a commotion, as that would ensure Jing Yan’s complete failure in refining the elixir.

Shameless!

Utterly despicable!

“Ah!”

“Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t help myself; I forgot that Jing Yan was in the middle of refining an elixir, which requires a relatively quiet environment!

Alright, I’ll stop talking!” Gao Zhao Hai did not shut up; instead, he continued to speak loudly.

His voice was even louder than before by three measures.

At this point, even some of the pill masters from Xu Dong’s faction began to frown.

They stood on Xu Dong’s side and knew that Xu Dong did not want Jing Yan to pass the examination.

However, most of them still possessed some principles; using such despicable means to cause Jing Yan’s failure was too underhanded.

Thus, some pill masters frowned as they looked towards Gao Zhao Hai.

Xu Dong, on the other hand, wore an expressionless face, seemingly condoning Gao Zhao Hai’s actions.

Gao Zhao Hai’s words were clearly heard by Jing Yan, who understood Gao Zhao Hai’s intentions.

That bastard was indeed shameless.

However, to think that such a method would affect Jing Yan’s refining of the Revitalizing Pill, Gao Zhao Hai was bound to be disappointed.

Jing Yan sneered inwardly.

“Shh!” Jing Yan’s movements stiffened for a moment, then became somewhat frantic.

Seeing Jing Yan’s actions, Liu Wen and other pill masters all changed their expressions.

They knew Jing Yan was in the process of stabilizing the elixir, but Gao Zhao Hai’s loud noise had undoubtedly affected Jing Yan.

His current movements also indicated that Jing Yan had indeed been disturbed.

This batch of elixirs was likely to fail.

In refining elixirs, the final step of stabilization was crucial.

Even a slight deviation could lead directly to failure.

Gao Zhao Hai noticed Jing Yan’s movements, his eyes narrowed, and his lips curled.

He glanced at Xu Dong with a smug expression.

Xu Dong squinted his eyes and gave Gao Zhao Hai a slight nod.

A moment later, Jing Yan finally stopped all movements, and the elixir refining was completely finished!

“Gao Zhao Hai, what are you trying to do?” Liu Wen angrily demanded.

He had been enduring it until now, but as Jing Yan had finished refining the elixir, he exploded, his angry gaze fixed on Gao Zhao Hai.

“Vice President Liu Wen, what do you mean by this?” Gao Zhao Hai looked innocently at Liu Wen.

“Gao Zhao Hai, stop pretending!

Why did you make noise to disturb when Jing Yan was refining the elixir?” Liu Wen’s voice was tense.

Liu Wen was generally mild-tempered; this was well known among the pill masters in the Alchemist Association, rarely had they seen him angry.

But now, Liu Wen could no longer suppress his anger.

“Disturb?” Gao Zhao Hai widened his eyes, “Vice President Liu Wen, when did I disturb Jing Yan?

Just now, I did indeed speak, but that was because I was too astounded.

Jing Yan’s alchemy speed is truly astonishing.

Even I, a Fourth Level Pill Master refining a Second-level Elixir, might not be as fast as him.”

“Vice President Liu Wen, it wasn’t intentional,” Gao Zhao Hai certainly wouldn’t admit he had intentionally disrupted Jing Yan.

Innocence on his face, but excitement surged in his heart.

“Heh…” Jing Yan chuckled.

“Gao Zhao Hai, there is indeed a conflict between us.

You don’t like me, and I don’t like you either.

However, during my alchemy examination, you deliberately made noise to create chaos.

Isn’t that a bit too vile?

You really don’t deserve to join the Alchemist Association!” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked towards Gao Zhao Hai.

“Jing Yan, don’t slander me!

I was going to apologize to you just now.

But with your current attitude, how can you expect me to apologize?” Gao Zhao Hai stiffened his neck, almost as if Jing Yan was the one slandering him.

“Gao Zhao Hai, your shamelessness has really reached a certain level!

Tsk tsk, if you were to fight someone in the future, with that face, you could probably stand undefeated.” Jing Yan said scornfully.

“Enough!

Everyone stop talking, Jing Yan, open the furnace and check the elixir!” Xu Dong raised his hand and spoke.

“This batch doesn’t count!” Liu Wen immediately said, “Jing Yan was affected by Gao Zhao Hai during his examination.

This batch of elixirs cannot be considered as part of the examination.

Jing Yan, take a rest, and start refining again.”

Liu Wen looked at Jing Yan.

“Vice President Xu Dong, let’s be frank here.

Gao Zhao Hai deliberately made noise to distract during Jing Yan’s elixir refining, clearly that’s unfair to Jing Yan’s examination.

As the vice president of the Alchemist Association, shouldn’t you be a bit more impartial?” Liu Wen looked at Xu Dong and said.

“I admit, what you said is true.

But indeed, I don’t have that much time to waste here.

If this batch of elixirs doesn’t count, then I think, let’s just forget about Jing Yan’s examination!” Xu Dong also saw the expressions of many pill masters following him, and he knew that Gao Zhao Hai had gone too far, causing discontent among many.

Therefore, he didn’t insist on using this batch of elixirs as the standard for the examination, but neither did he want to give Jing Yan another chance.

If Liu Wen says it doesn’t count, then the examination ends here, making it unlikely for Jing Yan to join the Alchemist Association anytime soon.

“Alchemist Liu Wen!”

After Xu Dong finished speaking, Jing Yan spoke.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Jing Yan.

“Let’s consider this batch of elixirs as my examination elixir,” Jing Yan then added.

“Hmm?”

“This Jing Yan…”

“What is he thinking?

In the final step, because of Gao Zhao Hai speaking, his motions completely deformed, this elixir must have failed!”

The pill masters in the hall stared at Jing Yan in astonishment.

Liu Wen frowned and looked at Jing Yan with a puzzled gaze, unsure of what Jing Yan was thinking.

“Jing Yan, are you sure?” Xu Dong’s gaze sharpened, a glint flared in his eyes, “If this batch of elixirs has failed, the matter would be serious, and I could assume you are mocking me!”

“Heh, Xu Dong, cut the nonsense.

You are severely biased.

Since I’ve declared this batch as my examination elixir, of course, I won’t go back on my word,” Jing Yan scoffed.

“You…” Xu Dong’s breath tightened, his eyes glaring at Jing Yan.

“Alright then, open the furnace!” Xu Dong inhaled sharply, suppressing his anger, and spoke with narrowed eyes.

“Jing Yan, are you sure?” Liu Wen said to Jing Yan.

“Alchemist Liu Wen, no need to worry.

Heh, a dog barking a few words on the side shouldn’t affect my alchemy,” Jing Yan chuckled and glanced at Gao Zhao Hai.
