The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 423 Song Wanning is an astonishing genius!

Everyone was watching the old man's condition closely, but there was no movement for a long time, which made them more convinced that Song Wanning was exaggerating.

Even Xiao Heyun thought that Song Wanning was too good at bragging, so much so that she even believed it herself.

If the old man fails to advance, the outcome could be dire.

But right now he just wants to see Song Wanning make a fool of herself and teach her a lesson for her arrogant nature.

Half an hour passed.

The old man remained motionless.

The crowd's chatter grew louder, with many feeling that Song Wanning was wasting her time.

"Manager, if it were really a breakthrough pill, that old man would have advanced long ago. If this continues, it will only waste our time."

"Everyone is still waiting for the results!"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect gradually grew impatient; they couldn't keep waiting like this indefinitely.

"hold on."

The steward remained unmoved; since the city lord had not spoken, he could not make a decision on his own.

The Medicine King Sect disciple was met with a cold shoulder, which made him even more annoyed and dislike Song Wanning.

Just as he was about to say something sarcastic to Song Wanning, a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd.

In his panic, he turned around and saw countless streams of spiritual energy converging on the old man like a tornado.

"how is this possible?"

He stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Wu Qingfeng's face also twitched, veins bulged, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Look, the old man is really about to advance!"

"That's really a breakthrough pill? How is that possible?"

"Could it be that the old man just happened to advance in his cultivation level?"

"It can't be such a coincidence... Song Wanning really refined a Breakthrough Pill??"

Everyone felt the same shock and confusion; it clearly didn't look like a breakthrough pill...

what is the problem?

The city lord and Huo Jinchuan both glanced at the remaining breakthrough pills on the plate.

"Look! He's about to break through!"

With a gasp of surprise, the old man effortlessly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage right before everyone's eyes.

"My God, it's a real breakthrough!!!"

"Look, he seems to be advancing in level!!!"

Another earth-shattering statement.

The old man didn't stop, and in one breath broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In a short while, the calamity clouds had already gathered in this direction.

The room fell silent; no one spoke for a long while.

Breakthrough Pills are the last hope for cultivators who have no hope of advancing. As long as they break through a major level, their lifespan can be doubled.

If one is fortunate enough to encounter some opportunity, further breakthroughs are not a problem.

Now, the old man—no, the old man's white hair has turned into a head of black hair, the wrinkles on his body have been smoothed out, and his withered body has regained its vitality.

I've turned back the clock!

He opened his eyes with a start, his vision blurred with tears of excitement. He had thought he was at his wit's end, but things had taken a turn for the better, and he had gained such a great opportunity.

He stood up, bowed deeply to the city lord, and then knelt down straight in the direction of Song Wanning.

A grown man, standing seven feet tall, cried until his eyes were red and his body was trembling.

Many onlookers were moved to tears.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!!!"

This elixir was refined by Song Wanning, who was his savior.

Seeing this, Song Wanning smiled slightly, "The pills are just an aid. If you hadn't accumulated your knowledge and skills, you wouldn't have been able to reach this level."

"Let's go through the tribulation first."

She calmly and casually offered a helping hand, and the man stood up.

He wiped away his tears, laughing and crying at the same time, and ran towards the edge of the crowd. The heavenly tribulation that was brewing sensed his change of location and quickly followed.

Not long after, thunder rumbled outside the square.

Countless people looked at the figure undergoing tribulation with envy, and their gazes toward Song Wanning also changed completely.

It was filled with fanatical worship.

The city lord was also very happy and said "good" several times.

"Girl, you're amazing for being able to turn things around after making a mistake!"

Her eyes were full of admiration and affirmation for Song Wanning, but also brimming with curiosity.

"But I, the city lord, want to know why the patterns on these breakthrough pills are completely different..."

The pills were completely different, yet their effects were even more astonishing; they were truly remarkable.

"Replying to Senior, this is a new approach that I have developed by combining various alchemical methods. It is currently still in the experimental stage."

Song Wanning neither exaggerated nor concealed anything.

He openly and frankly mentioned his new breakthrough.

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this, and then the entire room was filled with astonishment.

Even Huo Jinchuan, who was usually calm, had a slight change in expression.

She actually developed her own unique alchemy?

How can it be……

She's so young... and even the city lord and other alchemy masters who are over a thousand years old couldn't do it.

This is no longer the work of a genius.

This is an astonishing genius!!!
Wu Qingfeng, sitting in the audience, turned deathly pale as he stared intently at Song Wanning's figure on the stage.

A sense of panic rose from the bottom of his heart, causing him to unconsciously crush the handrail.

He had a very bad feeling.

If this woman isn't eliminated now, I'm afraid we'll never be able to get rid of her!
We must act as soon as possible.

...

After a brief silence, the room erupted in cheers.

Many of the onlookers were alchemists, and they were well aware of the significance of Song Wanning's words.

No one doubted her words anymore; everyone just felt they had seen an extraordinary person!

Song Wanning accepted all the intense gazes with grace and composure, maintaining a smile throughout, remaining calm and unhurried.

The Fourth Elder liked it more and more as he looked at it, and he really wanted to rush up and kiss it.

The discussion only calmed down after the tribulation had completely ended.

The manager finally announced the results, eliminating half of the successful candidates and several others who were not of good quality, leaving only twelve people.

"After such a long time, I'm sure you've all rested well. Let's begin the third round of the competition."

With a wave of his hand, new materials immediately appeared on the stone platform.

"This round will directly select three alchemists to enter the finals, and these three alchemists will be able to enter the Central Domain regardless of their ranking!"

"Next, I will announce the rules: this round of pill refining will be a Grade Nine Youth-Changing Pill!"

"Wow—"

The monks in the square were once again greatly alarmed.

You should know that in the past, the highest level of alchemy competition was the refining of eighth-grade pills...

Only after rounds of selection can the top three be determined.

But now, they're going straight for ninth-grade pills?
If someone can refine a ninth-grade elixir, then they are a true alchemy master!

The remaining disciples on the stage were also startled, and their faces immediately turned bitter.

The expressions of Lu Yi and the others turned grim, as they had never refined a ninth-grade pill before, and this round was already destined to end in defeat.

The expressions of the two Medicine King Sect disciples also changed slightly.

They did try using ninth-grade elixirs, but the success rate was extremely low, probably...

The two gritted their teeth, glanced at Wu Qingfeng's gloomy face below the stage, and could only force themselves to put on an indifferent attitude.

　Thank you to "Cheese" and "Little A-Nan's Little Tiger Teeth" for the gifts!
