Chapter 356: Standing Out
At this moment, time stood still!
Only eight spiritual pills fell from Chu Yang's hands into the iron plate, sparkling and rotating.
There were precisely thirty spiritual pills in the plate, each one perfectly round, enveloped in a faint pill aura.
They came in various colors and emitted rich aromas.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.
No one expected that Chu Yang would actually accomplish such an incredible, seemingly impossible feat!
“He… really… did it!” The Second Protector exchanged glances with the Great Protector, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes!
Everyone present was knowledgeable; who among them wasn't an expert? How could they not understand that the difficulty of this task was akin to ascending to the heavens?
Eight types of medicine, each pair conflicting with one another; even refining a single batch required precise control and extensive experience! A slight misstep could lead to an explosion!
If they attempted to refine two types simultaneously, even the Great Protector would only have a small chance of success. As for refining three types at once, the Great Protector had never even dared to consider it.
Yet, Chu Yang managed to refine four types at the same time!
Without a single error!
Just looking at the color of the pills, their aura, roundness, and medicinal fragrance… it was clear: there was no need for further testing; these were undoubtedly supreme elixirs!
Refining eight conflicting medicines, producing different pills within a single furnace…
This was nothing short of miraculous!
The people from the seven great families looked utterly defeated.
It was hard to blame them for their despondency.
These individuals, including the three other pharmacists from the Enforcers, had all participated in the Myriad Medicine Convention before; this time, they were familiar with the process. Achieving this should have been relatively easy.
Having passed the previous time, how could they possibly fail now?
However, the frustration stemmed from the fact that despite having gone through the experience, this time, they were given half the time, yet still fell short.
Not only were they far behind in quality; even in quantity, they were utterly outpaced!
How could these proud pharmacists accept such a defeat?
The Great Protector and the Second Protector immediately instructed someone to tally the results of all the pharmacists. The outcome was as expected.
Chu Yang ranked first!
Whether it was the properties of the pills, their quantity, their effectiveness, or the essence of their creation.
He was unquestionably the best!
Moreover, he used the least amount of time, and the skill he displayed left everyone awestruck!
First place, Chu Yang, who took one incense stick's time, producing fifteen Poison Pills, each one powerful enough to kill a lord-level expert.
Fifteen Great Supplement Pills, each one capable of increasing cultivation by ten years and strengthening the body, nurturing the origins.
Due to the quality of the medicines, Chu Yang’s ability to refine drugs lethal enough to kill lord-level experts was already remarkable.
The other competitors’ Poison Pills, while also terrifyingly potent, could at most kill a single Imperial Throne.
And even though Chu Yang actually only used half an incense stick's time, he still counted the full time.
However, everyone clearly understood in their hearts that Chu Yang, the first place, only took half the time! Double the time, multiple achievements!
Although everyone felt uncomfortable about Chu Yang being the first to pass, they had no choice but to acknowledge his superiority!
Second place went to Xiao Clan's pharmacist, Xiao Sheng.
Followed by the pharmacists from the Ye Family, Stone Family, Lan Family, Zhuge Family, Chen Family, and the Enforcers.
The top ten list was revealed!
The Sword Spirit had already returned to the nine calamity void; such trivial matters for an ancient being like him were exceedingly simple...
Chu Yang returned to his body, shook his neck, stretched lazily, rubbed his eyes, and saw everyone staring at him in a daze. He chuckled, “Is that it? So quick… I feel like I barely even started…”
