As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, even the Young Woman who had been facing away from them turned around in surprise to look at him. With beautiful women exchanging glances, Li Rui couldn't ignore it either and nodded in acknowledgment. Strangely, Tang Xueqian, who usually maintained an aloof demeanor towards others, unconsciously nodded back in response to Li Rui's calm expression.
Seeing this scene, Zeng Zerun was utterly astonished. He never expected that Tang Xueqian, who had always given him a cold shoulder despite his frantic efforts to impress her, would actually smile and nod at someone who was boasting.
"I don't believe it, I refuse to accept it. You are a Fifth Rank, but I am still a Ninth Rank!"
As soon as this statement was made, everyone felt it made sense and secretly nodded, thinking about how this person would handle the situation. At this moment, the old man spoke up at the right time.
"How about this? I happen to have a formula for the Sanhua Huabi Lu Pill, a total of six portions. If you can successfully refine it, I will consider you qualified. Judging by your appearance, you are also a newcomer to the Alchemy Hall. If you can't do it, then just take ten items and get lost!"
Although this statement seemed harsh, everyone felt it was reasonable. After all, they all believed that Li Rui had been the one boasting first, and now they were waiting to see how he would end up.
At this point, Li Rui knew that if he didn't show some skill, he might not be able to salvage the situation anymore. The Sanhua Huabi Lu Pill was merely a Fourth Rank elixir; it seemed that the old man wasn't making things difficult for him by presenting a Fifth Rank formula.
What he didn't know was that the old man believed if Li Rui could refine the Fourth Rank Sanhua Huabi Lu Pill, it would prove that he also possessed Fourth Rank capabilities.
Even being a Fourth Rank at such a young age could put him on par with Tang Xueqian. Even if he fell slightly short, after all, she was on the verge of stepping into Fifth Rank, making her an extraordinary talent.
Thinking of this, the old man even felt a hint of anticipation in his heart. Could this guy bring him some surprises?
Watching Li Rui seriously begin to prepare the medicine, everyone in the hall was stunned. Could it be that this guy really knew how to practice Alchemy? Zeng Zerun cursed inwardly; he was also a Fourth-Rank Alchemist and understood that refining the Sanhua Huabi Lu Pill required harmonizing three different medicinal properties and demanded great skill. He couldn't believe that a mere Yellow-haired Kid could succeed.
Preparing medicine was the first step in Alchemy, and also a fundamental one. Li Rui knew that for the Sanhua Huabi Lu Pill, this kind of elixir required mature techniques in medicine preparation.
As everyone watched, their gazes began to shift. Regardless of their strength or age, everyone present had a fervent pursuit and mastery of Elixir. After all, it takes at least ten to eight years to even begin to grasp Elixir.
As for truly mastering it, the difficulty is even greater. However, at this moment, Li Rui's techniques danced like wheels, and his movements were as chaotic as a scattering of flowers, making everyone internally shout: How can the process of concocting medicine be so visually appealing?
The old man's eyes were now bright as snow. Tang Xueqian, who studied under a prestigious master, suddenly realized the situation and instinctively covered his crimson lips as if he had thought of something.
There were also a few people present who seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, a Big Man exclaimed:
"This is the Great Freedom Alchemy Technique; it's a hallmark move for entering the Eighth-Rank Alchemist! How does this kid know it? It looks so familiar; turns out it's the Great Freedom Alchemy Technique!"
"Come on, you’re familiar with it? This is probably your first time seeing such a technique. You might have just seen a few pictures in some book. Unlike me, I was fortunate enough to witness a Seventh-Rank Alchemist use the same technique in person. Wow, it’s truly beautiful!"
Everyone chimed in with their comments, but only the old man and Tang Xueqian looked at Li Rui's increasingly chaotic movements with expressions that varied in emotion.
Tang Xueqian was astonished; he had seen this technique used by several elders at home and many talented brothers before, but none were as young as Li Rui.
The crowd was mesmerized as Li Rui moved step by step from preparing medicine to gathering herbs, sealing the furnace, refining the medicine, and finally stopping the fire. At the last critical moment of refining, Li Rui suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, as if an endless source of Spiritual Power was supporting him in completing this series of complex actions. At that moment, he could even connect with the Elixir in the Dan Furnace, forming an inexplicable bond.
This connection was very ethereal—unseen and untouchable. At that moment, Li Rui should have stopped to seal the furnace and open the medicine; however, he felt as if an opportunity that was hard to come by was laid before him. He decided to take a chance and temporarily ignored the situation with the Dan Furnace, focusing entirely on sensing the fluctuations within.
The atmosphere in the Alchemy Hall fell into an awkward silence; no one dared to breathe loudly. Even swallowing saliva took a long time before anyone dared to gulp down a mouthful. But at this moment, it seemed like they could have opened the furnace already; why did he instead stop moving?
The eerie atmosphere was terrifying. Zeng Zerun felt like he had fallen from heaven into hell during this time. Recently, he had just increased his chances of refining Fourth-Rank Pills and Tang Xueqian had agreed to study together with him at Palace Master’s place tonight. Yet here came such a child who astonishingly claimed to be a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, even drawing in Tang Xueqian, who usually showed no mercy towards others.
I originally thought that testing him would reveal his true nature. Who knew that his alchemical techniques displayed such extraordinary abilities? Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew that this person likely possessed at least Fourth Rank strength.
The old man thought the same. He dared not consider Fifth Rank, because the appearance of a twenty-year-old Alchemist would cause quite a stir.
However, at that moment, Li Rui stopped his actions, as if he had entered a meditative state. Zeng Zerun seemed to have grasped a lifeline and eagerly spoke up:
"I knew this guy would just talk big. He made a big show earlier with nothing of real value, but now that it's time to show his true skills, he's scared, right? Hahaha!"
Before Zeng Zerun could finish, Li Rui, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His eyes sparkled with a different light—was it excitement?
At that moment, the Dan Furnace opened, revealing three Elixirs adorned with intricate patterns lying quietly inside.
"One, two, three, seven, eight, nine—nine intricate patterns! This is Jiuhua Biluwan, a Sixth-Rank Pill!"
Everyone gasped in shock, nearly fainting from disbelief.
From that point on, Li Rui's position was solidified. Some even suspected that Li Rui had the backing of five major families; however, that was not the case.
