My Sexy Female CEO

Lin Yifan was the first to finish, creating significant pressure for the other alchemists competing alongside him.

Lin Yifan's prowess exceeded their imagination.

Now, they could no longer hold on to a fluke mindset; they had to take it seriously and strive to advance to the next round of finals.

Liu Yang was pushing with all his might; at the start of the match, he thought he could easily surpass Lin Yifan, little did he know he would be overtaken by Lin Yifan, getting a slap in the face.

The self-assured four-star alchemists felt utterly ashamed, as they hurried to refine their own elixirs earnestly.

Before long, with the sound of roaring, several people successively completed their refinement.

Among them, most were refining exquisite fourth-grade elixirs, though there were a few who created fifth-grade elixirs, but the purity was surely no match for Lin Yifan's.

Those who refined fifth-grade elixirs were essentially qualified, able to eat a Calm Pill now.

It's worth noting that during the four-star alchemist's competition, situations of pill furnaces exploding were rare, and being backfired by the power even rarer.

The cause for this might be because senior alchemists have greater capability to handle accidents, with a large part due to their strength.

People in higher realms, of course, have enough power to control the occurrence of accidents.

The competition was gradually coming to an end; Liu Yang, attempting to refine a fifth-grade elixir, failed.

He couldn't control the chemical reaction in the pill furnace, resulting in injuries from an explosion.

Seeing this scene, Hu Jun couldn't help scolding: "Shameful! Attempting without ability!"

Zhu Kang stayed quietly aside, saying nothing.

He respected Liu Yang's daring spirit but lacked the courage to refute Hu Jun's opinion, after all, the other party was of higher status, and more powerful, he was unable to argue.

Once everyone completed their refinement, the elder responsible for examining the results went on to inspect them one by one.

Lin Yifan was kept for last inspection, as he was the first to finish, and his situation was also the best, the elixir in the pill furnace should be the finest.

After individual checks, twenty candidates were already selected to advance.

However, among them, one had to be excluded, because Lin Yifan's elixir had yet to be inspected.

Those on the brink of danger were all very tense, holding onto a fluke mindset, hoping Lin Yifan hadn't refined an elixir, so they could advance to the next round.

Indeed, such a fluke mindset can sometimes be laughable, yet undeniably, it does occasionally occur, though the probability is quite low.

After checking all the elixirs others had refined, the examining elder approached Lin Yifan's pill furnace.

Looking at Lin Yifan being inspected, they showed a reassuring smile; then amid everyone's anticipation, they slowly opened the lid.

At the moment the lid was opened, a scent of orange fragrance dispersed.

The competitors surrounding Lin Yifan were the first to smell this scent; they never had inhaled such pure medicinal aroma.

"It's Primordial Nourishing Pills! He refined Primordial Nourishing Pills!"

Someone identified the familiar scent and revealed the elixir Lin Yifan had refined.

Hearing it was Primordial Nourishing Pills, many reacted blandly as Primordial Nourishing Pills were common, many five-star alchemists could refine them.

"Just a regular fifth-grade elixir, advancing would be difficult indeed."

"I feel the same; many of the fifth-grade elixirs made here have much higher difficulty!"

"No wonder he finished refining so quickly; it turned out to be simpler Primordial Nourishing Pills!"

"I thought he made a high-difficulty fifth-grade elixir, didn't expect it's Primordial Nourishing Pills."

...

Hearing these discussions, those on the elimination brink rejoiced, since they also refined fifth-grade elixirs, the odds were hard to say.

"Best if it's an inferior fifth-grade elixir!"

They were all hoping, hoping Lin Yifan's elixir was of poor quality.

By smelling it, one could identify its grade. The examining elder didn't need to inspect further, already knowing Lin Yifan would certainly advance.

Even Zhu Kang and Hu Jun, who smelled the fragrance, also believed Lin Yifan would definitely advance, there was not even a trace of fluke situation.

After taking out a pill from the furnace, the examining elder gauged the quality of this pill in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this pill with bright color and smoke lingering around its surface, the competing disciples were downcast, and those who held onto a fluke mindset were utterly despondent.

Undoubtedly, Lin Yifan refined the Primordial Nourishing Pills with the highest purity of all fifth-grade elixirs in this match.

Even five-star and six-star alchemists felt ashamed; because, truth be told, with their current strength, it was challenging to produce such pure fifth-grade Primordial Nourishing Pills.

So, when this pill appeared in everyone's sight, it caused quite a stir.

"Primordial Nourishing Pills with almost one hundred percent purity, how can it be?"

"It's incredible, isn't it? How did he do it?"

"Comparing yourself to others could drive you insane!"

"A genius is a genius, not comparable to us ordinary folks."

...

Those disciples who had mocked Lin Yifan for refining Primordial Nourishing Pills earlier felt utterly embarrassed, saying nothing, their faces slapped swollen.

"Damn! Really strong!"

Even Zhu Kang, who stood on the opposite side of Lin Yifan, had to admire Lin Yifan's alchemy prowess.

Though he was a five-star alchemist, facing Lin Yifan, who had no alchemy level, he had no grounds to boast.

"Damn! Is this guy really that strong?"

Hu Jun was unwilling, refusing to believe Lin Yifan's strength; but in the face of facts, he had no choice but to believe.

He felt a sense of threat; this competitive threat stemmed not merely from Du Yuze but also from this new junior disciple.

Du Yuze showed an admiring smile, although Lin Yifan refining a high-purity fifth-grade elixir was within his anticipation; still, upon knowing Lin Yifan's elixir's purity, he got startled.

Lin Yifan's mastery in alchemy surpassed his imagination, perhaps already above him.

"I knew you're an extraordinary genius youth." Du Yuze gave this assessment, his face full of delight.

Being Lin Yifan's girlfriend, Xiaofang was certainly delighted for Lin Yifan. Everything was as she anticipated, yet also so unexpected.

The elders witnessing the color of Lin Yifan's elixir couldn't help but exclaim: "He will surely achieve greatness in the future!"

Lin Yifan's competition outcome attracted not only the disciples' attention but also that of his seniors and juniors who were intensively cultivating.

Upon receiving the scout's report, both of them were moved, wanting to verify the authenticity of this message.

When they observed the pill in the examining elder's hand from afar in secret, they both felt an unprecedented sense of great threat.
