From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 194: Chapter 192: The Questioned Prodigy_1

As the golden light erupted from within the Alchemy Furnace, an aura filled with unique and mystical qualities began to permeate the senses of everyone present.

In an instant, the entire examination hall fell into dead silence, with only the feeble crackling sound of the flames burning beneath the hundreds of Alchemy Furnaces.

Clang—

Seconds later, the Pill Furnace lid in the hands of the shock-stricken Seventh Elder dropped to the ground, jolting everyone back to reality from their astonishment.

"Golden light... This is a Fourth-order elixir!"

"Impossible! There was still so much water in his Alchemy Furnace; how could the elixir have possibly formed!"

"Quiet! Quiet!"

...

Chaos erupted throughout the examination hall in no time, as many invigilators took swift action to maintain order. Despite the staggering and shocking scene before them, the other students were still practicing alchemy; they had to ensure their protection.

The Seventh Elder looked dumbfoundedly at Fang Ren, then at the water halfway filling the Alchemy Furnace, an incredulous expression plastering his aged face.

"How... How is this possible?"

The Seventh Elder felt entirely dumbfounded. At this moment, his worldview had been greatly shaken.

From the start to now, he had been watching Fang Ren most intently because from the very beginning, his gaze had scarcely left Fang Ren. He had been thinking that once Fang Ren started to cheat, he would act to assist the deception.

But from start to finish, up until now, he hadn't seen Fang Ren engage in any behavior that could be considered cheating.

He was certain that Fang Ren wasn't carrying any other elixirs, as the invigilators responsible for checking were very strict at the entrance, and he had also touched Fang Ren, his Divine Sense probing around on Fang Ren and finding nothing suspicious.

So, he was absolutely sure that Fang Ren had not cheated, for Fang Ren simply had no opportunity to do so.

Unless he was out of his mind!

And, to put it bluntly, even if Young Master Fang cheated in such an event, what could anyone do to him?

"Silence!"

The Seventh Elder suddenly unleashed a powerful surge of True Qi, enveloping the entire area, and subdued all the noise from the crowd.

He held up the gold-colored fourth-order elixir in his hand, looking very serious as he announced loudly to the spectators, "Examinee: Fang Ren! Fourteen minutes and thirty-six seconds! One Upper Level Pill! Record the score!"

As his words fell, there was still no sound from the crowd, but the invigilator responsible for the scoring did not lift a hand to record the score.

Because even until now, he simply could not believe that a university student in his early twenties could refine an Upper Level Pill!

This was an Upper Level Pill of the fourth order! Infinitely close to the unique and unmatched fifth-order elixir!

Even among the Grandmasters of District One, who could dare to claim they could refine a fourth-order Upper Level Pill within 15 minutes!?

Even guaranteeing a third-order lower level pill was a stretch!

"Seventh Elder! This is collusion in cheating!"

While everyone was stunned into silence, Ah Si, who had been sent flying earlier, suddenly got up from the ground and shouted loudly.

The Seventh Elder's excitement had yet to subside when he heard this discordant voice. His gaze immediately turned toward Ah Si behind him, "You will pay the price for your words!"

Ah Si wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and limping on his legs, he strode forward, his face wearing a vicious sneer, "Seventh Elder! The one who will pay the price today is you! You've been assisting this guy right from the start! Every one of your actions has shown how much you value him!

I believe everyone here already has the answer in their hearts—this guy must be one of your very important relatives! To think you would resort to such means to craft his false glory!"

While saying this, Ah Si pointed at Fang Ren's Alchemy Furnace and yelled, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason you personally collected his elixir is that there was no pill in his furnace to begin with! That pill was put there by you! And in his furnace, those fourth-order medicinal materials have not been refined at all, they're lying there intact!"
