Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 773: 773 Chapter Treasured Elixir is Ready, How Will You Win Against Me (2nd Update)

Time ticked away, second by second.

After seven hours,

a massive, wheel-like treasured elixir qi appeared above Cao Dusheng’s pill furnace.

This signified that the Profound Darkness Daoist Elixir he was refining had gradually begun to take shape.

Witnessing this scene, everyone turned their heads to glance at Xue An, who was still calmly adjusting the flames of the pill furnace, and they couldn’t help but shake their heads in secret.

Another hour later,

pleasant sounds began to emanate from within Cao Dusheng’s pill furnace.

“It’s the elixir’s movement!”

“This batch of Profound Darkness Daoist Elixirs is stable!”

The so-called elixir movement refers to the phenomenon when a treasured elixir takes form, the gathering spiritual energy plays various enchanting sounds.

At the same time, this also indicated that the quality of this batch of elixirs was very high.

A triumphant look appeared on Cao Dusheng’s face, followed by a sidelong glance at Xue An.

At that moment, there was no sound from Xue An’s pill furnace, not even a trace of elixir qi.

This discovery made him even more certain of his victory.

Half an hour passed.

By then, the treasured elixir qi above Cao Dusheng’s pill furnace had grown even denser, and the sound of the elixir’s movement louder.

Suddenly,

a streak of treasured light shot out from the pill furnace, and the elixir qi in the air surged wildly into it.

The elixir’s movement also ceased abruptly.

“Is it done?”

Just as this thought rose in the hearts of the pill masters,

they heard Cao Dusheng laugh boastfully, “Xue An, the treasured elixir is complete, I’d like to see how you can beat me now!”

With that, a brilliantly glowing elixir rose slowly from within the pill furnace.

Upon its emergence, the elixir qi even enveloped the entire elixir room.

“It’s actually a Heaven Rank superior elixir!”

“Who would’ve thought that Cao Dusheng’s skill in pill refining had become so formidable that he could actually refine a Heaven Rank superior Profound Darkness Daoist Elixir!”

The pill masters exclaimed one after another.

Even Lü Baiyue frowned slightly.

Although she had always disliked Cao Dusheng, at this moment she had to admit that the Profound Darkness Daoist Elixir he refined was indeed well-made.

Cao Dusheng was extremely pleased with himself, catching the Profound Darkness Daoist Elixir on a jade dish, then sneered at Xue An with a taunting smile.

“Xue An, it’s not too late for you to admit defeat now!”

Xue An, however, remained completely unfazed, continuing to refine his elixir with methodical calm.

Cao Dusheng scoffed, “Really stubborn till the end, eh? Alright, I’ll just watch and see what kind of trick you can pull off in the end!”

At that moment, Dong Lingxin asked with a hint of desolation, “Lady Bai Yue, does Xue An still stand a chance of winning?”

Lü Baiyue shook her head gently, “It’s very unlikely! Most of the day has already passed, yet he hasn’t produced even a wisp of elixir qi; with only so little time left, how could he possibly refine a Heaven Rank exceptional elixir?”

Upon hearing these words, Dong Lingxin’s face turned pale. She wanted to say something, but it all turned into a sigh of resignation in the end.

At any rate, she had done her best!

She just hoped that, after the defeat in the competition, Mr. Xue would be able to save his life.

Thinking this, Dong Lingxin couldn’t help but direct her gaze toward Xue An, who sat on the high platform, casually sipping tea as if nothing mattered.

How could this man remain so utterly unconcerned?

After all, if they lost this competition, not only would Xue An be crippled of his cultivation level and expelled from the Central Region, but he would also have to kneel and give an apology.

Yet here he was, still drinking tea up to this moment.

Time stealthily slipped away amidst everyone’s varied thoughts.

Ten hours.

Eleven hours.

Finally.

Just three quarters of an hour away from a full twelve hours, there was still not the slightest overflow of elixir qi from the pill furnace in front of Xue An.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone had completely lost their faith.

Cao Dusheng was also getting impatient, and he sneered, “Xue An, it’s only three quarters of an hour until twelve hours, how much longer do you plan to delay? Admit defeat now, and I, the great me, might just be generous and lighten your punishment!”

Xue An remained unmoved, not even a ripple in his eyes.

Cao Dusheng cursed inwardly and couldn’t help but target Lü Baiyue, who was sitting on the side sipping tea.

“Tsk tsk, Mr. Xue, I really admire you! Can you actually remain so calm even now? Let me tell you, if you anger me when the time comes, I’ll make sure both of you can’t escape unscathed!”

Xue An didn’t pay any attention to Cao Dusheng’s ranting but slowly put down his teacup, stretched leisurely, and asked indifferently, “How much longer until time is up?”

A child in charge of keeping the time replied, “Two and a half quarters left!”

Xue An smiled slightly, then said to Xue An, “It’s about time, isn’t it?”

Xue An then came out of his intense concentration on pill refining and replied, “The fire is ready!”

“Good! Condense the elixir and have it out of the furnace!”

“Yes!”

As Xue An gave the order, Xue An’s expression became solemn, his eyes gleamed with purple brilliance, and his body was enveloped in layers of purple elixir qi.

“It’s Profound Rank!”

“I didn’t expect him to be a Profound Rank Pill Master already!”

A slight disturbance ran through the crowd.

But even so, what could a Profound Rank Pill Master do?

If he couldn’t produce an elixir that surpassed Cao Dusheng’s now, he would still lose.

Xue An formed seals with his hands in quick succession, and the fire in the pill furnace transformed into a green flame lotus.

“Condense the elixir!”

Xue An gave a soft command.

And then, the pill furnace that hadn’t shown any abnormality began to tremble.

The tremor was initially very subtle, but quickly, it became increasingly intense.

Even so, there was still not a trace of elixir qi spilling out.

Seeing this, Cao Dusheng laughed heartily, “What a big show—for nothing! Is your pill furnace about to explode?”

No sooner had he spoken than the pill furnace exploded with a bang into dust, and then a burst of green light leaped out, circling the elixir room three times in an instant, before quietly floating in mid-air.

“What is this?”

Many Pill Masters were rather puzzled.

Because this floating green light sphere didn’t emit any elixir qi, nor did it have any elixir’s might.

It looked just like an unfinished product that hadn’t been fully refined.

Cao Dusheng sneered, “All this fuss, and you’ve just refined a useless elixir? How laughable!”

But Xue An smiled at Cao Dusheng, “Don’t rush—this is its true appearance!”

As he spoke, Xue An casually pointed at the green light.

A very faint cracking sound could be heard.

The green light shrouding the elixir cracked open like an eggshell.

A powerful elixir’s might swept through the entire elixir room in an instant and even caused the whole Elixir Tower to quiver slightly.

And the overflowing elixir qi transformed into various visions, with glimpses of chi-lin galloping and immortals appearing in mid-air.

Hissss!

All the Pill Masters in the room drew in a sharp breath.

Even the usually composed Lü Baiyue couldn’t suppress the shock in her heart and exclaimed in disbelief, “This… this is…”
