204: C204 The Furnace Exploded

C204 The Furnace Exploded

After resting for a while, Ye Lan secretly hid the two bottles of medicinal powder he had refined in his sleeve.

After that, he got up and left the room.

The moment he left the room, it was precisely the time when Chief Elder announced the start of the third round of the competition.

"Junior Brother Ye, what do you plan to do?"

Han Dong saw that Ye Lan had finally appeared, so he quickly went up and asked Ye Lan.

Similarly, Su Zhan and Lau Jiaojiao also looked at Ye Lan with worried expressions.

They were really afraid that Ye Lan would meet with misfortune in the alchemy competition.

"I will keep it a secret for now. You will know later."

Ye Lan smiled mysteriously.

He went straight to Pill Stage No.10.

Behind him, Han Dong followed closely.

At the same time, the other five groups of pill refining geniuses also climbed onto their respective Pill Stage.

Beside Ye Lan's Pill Stage, Wu Lia was looking at Ye Lan with a sneer on his face.

Ye Lan also gave him a mocking glance.

"This round of competition is to refine Explosive Pill.

The medicinal properties of the Explosive Pill were extremely tyrannical. The success rate of the Explosive Pill was even lower than the Strength Yang Pill. Moreover, refining it was also extremely complicated and dangerous.

In the Pill Pavilion, there were quite a number of elders and alchemist who had refined the Explosive Pill. Some of them had nearly lost their lives because of this.

"Ye Lan, you have to be careful. Don't suddenly explode while refining the Explosive Pill and lose your life!"

On the ninth Pill Stage, Wu Lia looked at Ye Lan and reminded him.

"Thank you for your kind reminder. I also advise you to be careful!

When refining the Explosive Pill later, you might be injured!"

Ye Lan replied.

"You should worry about yourself!"

Wu Lia coldly harrumphed.

He no longer paid attention to Ye Lan.

After a long time, a few disciples brought over the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Explosive Pill to the contestants.

Han Dong looked at the spirit herbs that was sent over and did not immediately make a move. Instead, he threw an inquiring gaze at Ye Lan.

Ye Lan smiled and looked at the spirit herbs. A Jade Bottle in his sleeve was suddenly crushed by him.

An icy cold aura suddenly rushed out of his sleeve and silently poured into the spirit herbs.

The moment the spirit herbs that was sprinkled with the Lava Powder was wrapped by that icy cold aura, the Lava Powder instantly and silently dissipated.

"Senior Brother Han, weigh it!"

Ye Lan turned his head and looked at Han Dong. A cheerful smile appeared on his face.

Han Dong was stunned for a moment. After he confirmed it again and again, he weighed the spirit herbs for Ye Lan and arranged it neatly. He quietly waited for Ye Lan to start concocting the spirit herbs.

"This time, you are dead for sure!"

At the ninth Pill Stage, Ye Lan lit the Pill Furnace and prepared to extract the medicinal liquid. A smile unconsciously appeared on Wu Lia's face.

However, in the next second, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze!

Ye Lan's purification of the medicinal liquid did not cause the cauldron to explode!

This caused Wu Lia to be unable to figure it out!

"Didn't I ask you to add Lava Powder?"

Wu Lia turned his head to look at dark-skinned youth and scolded him in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Wu, I have already done as you said."

Dark-skinned youth had a wronged expression on his face.

"Then why didn't the furnace explode? If the Lava Powder was added, the furnace would have exploded when he was purifying the first spirit herbs!"

Wu Lia growled in a low voice. He wished he could brutally beat dark-skinned youth up and vent the anger in his heart.

"Senior Brother Wu, you can punish me later! Now, half of the time has passed!"

Dark-skinned youth said in fear.

Wu Lia was shocked. He quickly looked at the tall platform and found that half of the time had passed.

If he continued to delay, he would not even have the time to refine the Explosive Pill!

"Quickly weigh the spirit herbs and classify it!"

Wu Lia shouted.

Immediately, he ignited the Pill Furnace in front of him.

Beside him, dark-skinned youth quickly prepared everything for Wu Lia. He categorized the spirit herbs and handed it over to Wu Lia to purify.

Unknowingly, more than half of the time had passed.

Ye Lan was the first to refine the Explosive Pill.

Following closely behind him, the other four groups' competitors also completed it. Only Wu Lia was still refining the Explosive Pill. He was prepared to take advantage of the last few minutes to refine the remaining three stalks of spirit herbs in front of him, and then condense it into a pill.

"There's still time!"

Wu Lia circulated the True Qi with all his might, and purified the medicinal liquid within the furnace.

Not far away, Ye Lan, who had long successfully refined the Explosive Pill, looked at Wu Lia with great interest. In his sleeve, there was a Jade Bottle that he had crushed. An invisible, scorching aura suddenly burst forth from within his sleeve. Without a sound, it surged toward the ninth Pill Stage.

That scorching aura was naturally the fire powder that Ye Lan had refined. This kind of medicinal powder was colorless and odorless, and it was difficult for ordinary people to detect it.

Even though Yan Soong, Yangchen, and many other elders of the Pill Pavilion were sitting on the high platform, they were still unable to discover the fire powder that Ye Lan refined.

Not to mention the anxious Wu Lia who was sitting on the ninth Pill Stage.

"Quick! Give me the last spirit herbs!"

Wu Lia said anxiously.

Dark-skinned youth quickly did as he was told. He handed the last spirit herbs to Wu Lia for him to purify and refine.

Wu Lia took the last spirit herbs and put it into the Pill Furnace without thinking.

Just as he was about to circulate the True Qi and release his spiritual force to begin purifying the medicinal liquid, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the Pill Furnace in front of him!

The entire furnace was unusually hot, releasing a terrifying high temperature. The Pill Furnace kept shaking and making sounds.

"Not good!"

Wu Lia was stunned for a moment, then a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

Immediately, he pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot and retreated. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

The Pill Furnace that was constantly emitting scorching heat exploded on the spot.

The explosion shook everyone's body.

The flame of the Pill Furnace's explosion and the scorching heat wave swept across a radius of over a hundred meters in an instant, swallowing Wu Lia and dark-skinned youth in an instant.

Two miserable screams sounded out from the exploding flame.

Not long after, many people saw two figures fall heavily to the ground from the furnace.

One of them had his arms broken, his body charred and covered in blood. If one took a closer look, they would discover that it was Wu Lia.

The other was on the verge of death, completely charred. He was the follower of Wu Lia - dark-skinned youth.

"Quick! Save them!"

On the high platform, Chief Elder woke up from his trance. Immediately, someone flew into the venue and helped Wu Lia and dark-skinned youth transport the True Qi and treat their injuries.

After some recuperation, Wu Lia did not die.

As for his subordinate, he had completely died under the aftershock of the explosion. He had lost his life in vain.

The reason Wu Lia was able to keep his life was because his cultivation base was high enough. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to live.

"You can't be impatient when refining the Explosive Pill. It's because you are eager to refine the Explosive Pill that you killed your fellow disciple!"

The elder of Pill Pavilion who had treated Wu Lia's injuries shouted in a deep voice.

Wu Lia was silent. He looked at his arms, which had been broken because of the cauldron explosion, and then at dark-skinned youth, who had lost his life because of the cauldron explosion.

Wu Lia was in extreme pain.

He did not understand why.

Why would the furnace explode when he refined the Explosive Pill?

Even if he was a little anxious, it was not to the extent of exploding the furnace!

Why?

Wu Lia really couldn't figure out the reason now.1

"You are so pitiful. You lost two of your arms just for the competition, and you even caused the death of your fellow disciples."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Wu Lia looked over and found that the person who spoke was Ye Lan.

This made Wu Lia extremely furious. He stared at Ye Lan, his eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

"Senior Brother Wu, I told you to be careful, why didn't you listen to me?"

Ignoring Wu Lia's expression and the cold killing intent in his eyes, Ye Lan continued to laugh.

These words almost made Wu Lia vomit blood and die from anger!

"It's you! It must be you! It's you who set me up, right? "

Suddenly, Wu Lia thought of something. He looked at Ye Lan, who was standing at Pill Stage No.10, and roared furiously.

"Senior Brother Wu, I don't understand what you're saying."

Ye Lan smiled.
