Chapter 480 Beating Lin Fei In Alchemy

As the journey continued, Lin Xingya and Wang Jian were engrossed in conversation, their voices mingling with the rustle of the wind around them. Lin Fei, however, trailed behind, seething with suppressed anger.

'How dare she look at him like that?' Lin Fei fumed inwardly, his fists clenched at his sides. 'And Wang Jian, with that smug smile on his face...'

But despite his boiling resentment, Lin Fei held himself back. He knew this wasn't the time or place to let his emotions get the better of him.

Wang Jian, meanwhile, couldn't help but feel a twinge of amusement at Lin Fei's restraint. He noted the simmering anger in Lin Fei's eyes, but the fact that he didn't dare to act on it just amused Wang Jian to not ends.

As they flew through the air, Lin Xingya and Wang Jian's conversation turned to a subject close to Lin Xingya's heart—the Imperial Sovereign Pellet.

"So, tell me more about this Imperial Sovereign Pellet that you plan to concoct," Wang Jian prompted, genuinely intrigued.

Lin Xingya's eyes sparkled with excitement as she launched into an explanation. "It's an incredible pellet that can completely transform one's cultivation. With the Imperial Sovereign Physique, I'll be able to enhance my affinity with the Wind Element and accelerate my cultivation speed."Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Wang Jian listened intently, his curiosity piqued. "And you've already found most of the herbs needed for it?"

"Yes, and thanks to you, I found the final two herbs—the Luminara Blossom and the Ephemeral Moon Orchid," Lin Xingya replied.

Wang Jian grinned, pleased to have been of assistance. "Have you thought about who will concoct the pellet for you? It's no small task, especially with such rare and precious ingredients."

Lin Xingya shook her head. "Not yet, but I plan to look for a skilled alchemist once we return home."

At this point, Wang Jian leaned in, a confident gleam in his eyes. "Well, look no further. I'm confident in my abilities as an alchemist. Give me the recipe, and I'll have that pellet ready for you in no time."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter interrupted their conversation, and both Lin Xingya and Wang Jian turned to see Lin Fei approaching with a smirk on his face.

"What's so funny?" Lin Xingya asked, puzzled by her adopted brother's amusement.

Lin Fei couldn't contain his mirth as he addressed Wang Jian. "Forgive me for eavesdropping, but I couldn't help but laugh at your boast. A true alchemist knows that concocting such a rare pellet isn't as simple as following a recipe. It takes skill, experience, precise control of the flame and even the quality of the flame."

Wang Jian bristled at the challenge to his expertise, but before he could retort, Lin Fei spoke up again, turning to Lin Xingya with a confident smile.

With the cauldrons secured, Lin Xingya wasted no time in dividing the herbs and recipes between Wang Jian and Lin Fei. As they set up their respective stations some distance apart, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation.

Wang Jian's eyes gleamed with determination as he studied the recipe in front of him. "Let's do this," he declared, igniting the flames beneath his cauldron with a flick of his wrist.

As they set up their cauldrons on the ground near a serene forest, a sense of rivalry simmered beneath the surface.

Lin Fei, confident in his abilities as an alchemist and bolstered by the power of the Phoenix Flame, approached his task with unwavering determination. 'I've got this in the bag,' he thought to himself, his chest swelling with pride.

Occasionally, Lin Xingya would glance between the two, her heart swelling with pride at the sight of her companions' dedication. "You're doing great," she offered, a reassuring smile on her lips.

Wang Jian flashed her a confident grin. "Just wait until you see the final result."

Lin Fei nodded in agreement, his focus unwavering. "Indeed. This will be a masterpiece."

As the herbs mingled within the cauldron, a potent aura began to emanate from the vessel, signaling the birth of something extraordinary. Lin Fei's chest swelled with pride as he stole a glance at Wang Jian's cauldron. 'Just as I suspected, his pill's aura is feeble compared to mine. Victory is within my grasp.'

But while Lin Fei basked in his own perceived superiority, Wang Jian remained undeterred, his focus unwavering as he infused the laws of alchemy, flames, and wind into his concoction. With each movement, he seemed to tap into a higher realm of understanding, his pellet taking on an otherworldly brilliance.

Hours passed, the forest around them cloaked in a veil of silence as the two alchemists toiled away. And then, with a dramatic flourish, Lin Fei lifted the lid of his cauldron, revealing a peak-grade Imperial Sovereign Pellet—a testament to his skill and dedication.

Lin Xingya and her maids erupted into cheers, their excitement palpable as they marveled at Lin Fei's achievement. With a sense of triumph, Lin Fei stepped forward, offering the pellet to Lin Xingya with a flourish.

But as he watched her reaction, his heart sank. Lin Xingya, ever patient and considerate, shook her head with a gentle smile. "There's no rush, Lin Fei. Let's wait for Wang Jian."

Frustration gnawed at Lin Fei's insides, but he swallowed his pride, nodding in acquiescence.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian's cauldron continued to bubble and hiss, the air around it thrumming with an intensity that sent shivers down Lin Fei's spine. And then, with a final burst of flame, Wang Jian lifted the lid of his cauldron, unleashing a wave of energy that swept across the entire region.

Lin Xingya, Lin Fei, and her maids stood frozen in awe, their eyes wide with disbelief. For within Wang Jian's cauldron lay not just a peak-grade Imperial Sovereign Pellet, but something far greater—a peak-grade Dao Sovereign Pellet, a treasure beyond compare.

The shock on Lin Fei's face quickly turned to anger, his fists clenching at his sides as he struggled to process the magnitude of Wang Jian's achievement. 'How... how is this possible?'

As the realization of Wang Jian's triumph settled over them, Lin Xingya and her maids erupted into cheers, their excitement mingling with admiration for Wang Jian who had surpassed all expectations.
