instead, he drew Engravings with his bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, Engravings appeared in the air, mystical and profound, while the herbs on the stone platform took flight, beginning to decompose under the effect of the Engravings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This phenomenon, amidst the myriad Pill Furnaces, stood out as very special, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My God, look, he’s actually not using a Pill Furnace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you really refine pills without a Pill Furnace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Heavenly Mountain Country, the vast majority of Alchemists used Pill Furnaces for Alchemy since the Engravings inside could improve success rates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bare-handed approach to Alchemy, as demonstrated by Lin Xuan, was something they had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd’s exclamations below caused the other Alchemists on the stone platforms to lose their composure too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those competitors near Lin Xuan couldn’t help but steal a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw that Lin Xuan was truly refining pills bare-handed, their eyelids twitched uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a few people lost control of their emotions, leading to a loss of control over their Soul Power, and sounds of rumbling came from inside their Pill Furnaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pill Furnaces trembled, emitting black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear—they had failed in Alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Fei, who was in the distance, also saw Lin Xuan’s performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened, and a hint of hatred flickered in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his opinion, Lin Xuan was just showing off to get attention, stealing all the limelight from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, his status as a Third Grade Alchemist should have made him the center of attention, but Lin Xuan’s emergence made him irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That damn fellow, I’ll make you pay!” Duan Fei spoke with a killing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qianqian was also quite angry, “To actually dare to refine pills with bare hands, he really sees himself as an Elixir Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you’ve failed three times, I’ll be looking forward to seeing your crybaby face!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s performance upset the atmosphere among the disciples of the Medicine Emperor Institute; even Wu Shaoyu’s expression turned sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Showing off again, just showing off!” Wu Shaoyu’s face was fierce, “I don’t believe you can keep doing this without using a pill furnace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stands, the elders were also surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s performance once again went beyond their expectations, and everyone except Old Man Di Que showed a look of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even President Meng Chuan showed a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, even Old Man Di Que was shocked for quite a while the first time he saw Lin Xuan refining pills with his bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy, in front of everyone, doesn’t know how to disguise at all!” Old Man Di Que muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yunxing and others beside him shuddered upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they stared fiercely at the center of the arena, their gazes as if wanting to pierce through Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Lin Xuan began refining, he would forget everything around him and devote himself entirely to the alchemy process, using Soul Power to carefully sense every detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heart Blue Grass, extracting with high-temperature flames…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan paused for a moment, “Flame?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he hesitated, a crack appeared in the inscriptions in mid-air, shattering like glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound rang out; although faint, it reached everyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s broken, it’s broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s pill pattern has shattered!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I knew it, that kid was just showing off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he’s messed it up, huh!” Wu Shaoyu laughed wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, just a superficial waste!” Duan Fei scorned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qianqian also cast a look of contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, all eyes were on Lin Xuan, especially those of Song Yunxing and others, all of whom showed expressions of taking pleasure in his misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Lin Xuan simply didn’t have the ability to refine pills with bare hands; his actions were merely to attract everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still two chances left, but there isn’t much time!” Song Yunxing sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan ignored their words and carefully studied the Elixir Recipe, his face showing thoughtfulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already used inscriptions to simulate flames, and with his level of skill, there should be no mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, the pill pattern had shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, the extraction using flames was just to acquire the droplets from the Heart Blue Grass, I can completely do without fire engravings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Engraver, he faced failure in refining every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the top Alchemy Masters can’t guarantee a hundred percent success rate; what they can do is try to increase the likelihood of success as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the first failed attempt had no impact on Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t even accept this much, then there was no point in talking about reaching the peak of the Alchemy Dao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, Lin Xuan saw that the others were all fully engaged in refining, with Duan Fei and Song Qianqian being the fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the fluctuations of their aura, it seemed like they were entering the final stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected of a Third Grade Alchemist, their strength is indeed substantial!” Lin Xuan praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Fei’s movements were very practiced; he easily controlled the pill furnace, continuously injecting engravings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Third Grade Alchemist like him, this was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qianqian also appeared quite at ease; as Song Yunxing’s daughter, she had learned about elixir pills from Song Yuanxing since childhood, looking at her technique, she had the style of a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worthy of being the institute director’s daughter, indeed she has some strength!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze and began his second attempt at refining.\u003C\u002Fp>",1349,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","51fbd8f247ba43e94652660939a959536cf9fa014a97b255426ff3c863e69232","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-342","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-340",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
