Martial Master

The old man was struck with disbelief.

He saw that the confident expression on Master Zhao Ruhui's face was gradually turning extremely ugly.

Could it be that the refining is going to fail?

Before this thought could settle in his heart, he saw the alchemy furnace in front of Master Zhao Ruhui on the high platform suddenly tremble.

“Buzz...”

After adding a medicinal herb, the entire alchemy furnace suddenly became exceedingly violent, emitting a deafening vibrating sound that made everyone's heads spin, a feeling of extreme discomfort surged up, and the old man's face instantly turned ugly.

Even as an outsider, he could sense the extremely unstable and violent aura of the medicinal herbs emanating from the furnace.

The alchemists and powerful individuals watching below all changed their expressions drastically, becoming alarmed and tense. This was precisely the rhythm of a refining failure where the elixir would be ruined.

Such things had happened to many alchemists; refining failures that resulted in the elixir in the furnace being wasted were commonplace and not worth making a big deal out of. However, what horrified them was the furnace's current performance.

Buzz... Buzz...

From the dark alchemy furnace, a series of violent auras were dispersed, becoming exceedingly frenzied. This was not merely a sign of wasted elixirs; it was clearly going to explode!

This was dangerous!

An explosion of the alchemy furnace was the most dreaded occurrence for alchemists during the refining process. It indicated that the power of the medicinal herbs within had become violently unstable, reaching a level that even the furnace could not withstand.

The force generated in the moment of explosion would reach a terrifying level.

In fact, at least half of the alchemists had encountered furnace explosions before, but they were all ordinary elixirs, resulting in limited damage. But at this moment, it was a seventh-grade Feixue Dan, and in such a dense place, if it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable!

There had been alchemists who, while refining elixirs, lost control of the furnace, leading to explosions, resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities.

In an instant, the crowd was shaken; everyone showed signs of nervousness, releasing their true essence power, clearly preparing for defense in advance.

Meanwhile, some alchemists at the back of the lecture hall, while defending, were shocked as they turned to look at Qin Chen, who wore a calm expression and a faint smile. Their minds were filled with questions about how this young man had known in advance that Master Zhao Ruhui's refining would fail.

“Master Ruhui, don’t panic! Keep refining. As long as the elixir takes shape, we can absorb the violent energy and suppress the power in the furnace. I will lend you a helping hand!”

A seemingly younger alchemist stepped forward. He appeared to be in his thirties, hardly reaching forty, handsome and with gentle eyes. However, he was wearing the robe of a seventh-grade alchemist, which was astonishing.

Qin Chen was surprised; there was such a young alchemist king in Alchemy City? A king under forty would be considered a genius in the martial realm!

“It’s the Holy Son of Jinzhao.”

“Haha, with the Holy Son of Jinzhao taking action, there will definitely be no problem.”

“The Holy Son of Jinzhao is one of the top three holy sons in our Alchemy City. Since he has intervened, everything will be safe.”

This middle-aged alchemist king clearly had a high status in Alchemy City. The moment he stood out, the crowd felt relieved; many even retracted their true essence defenses, evidently placing great trust in the Holy Son of Jinzhao.

He did not disappoint everyone. He stepped out from the crowd, his spiritual energy surging. He performed several hand seals, and instantly, the previously violent alchemy furnace stabilized, continuously rotating in mid-air, and the roaring sound was somewhat controlled.

Everyone let out a heavy sigh of relief, their expressions showing no surprise, as if this were an extremely normal scene.
