Chapter 335 Absolute Shock (1)_1
Only two people in the entire venue watched the prelude to the explosion with calm. One was Dugu Qianye himself, and the other was the main judge. He watched Dugu Qianye’s concoction with an excited expression, understanding that this was a necessary process in the concoction of the Fire Dragon Pill. Many of the medicinal ingredients had explosive properties, and it was inevitable for intense collisions to occur when trying to fuse them together. Compared to his previous concoctions, the commotion this time was still considered small.
Dugu Qianye watched the activity in the pill furnace without panic. Everyone held their breath, afraid that their own breathing might blow up the furnace. So, when the first crack appeared in the furnace and a crisp crackling sound was heard, everyone was shocked for a moment, thinking the furnace was definitely going to explode.
After the first crisp sound from the furnace, Dugu Qianye began to inject some spiritual energy into it. It was still early for the pill to form, so everyone thought she was trying to save the furnace and the batch of precious ingredients this way.
"Tsk, if that were useful, I would have successfully concocted countless elixirs by now," one alchemist said.
"Injecting spiritual power like this is no help for pill formation. Does she even know this?"
"Hmph, she probably got this far by sheer luck, huh? The alchemists these days—so young, yet like this. Sigh..."
"What should we do, I bet on her to win. If she blows up the furnace, won’t we lose terribly?" someone suddenly remembered they had bet on Dugu Qianye coming in first.
"Haha, you should learn from us and bet on Shayan! They are people we know. You all are aware of the previous competition results, so why would you throw your money away? That’s why you must recognize the situation in the future."
