After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 232 Unexpected Events Abound, Liu Dan Promoted to President?

The audience quickly quieted down, while the alchemy on stage continued. Each alchemist had only two sets of materials and only one chance to fail.

Sun Qiansheng became even more nervous when the furnace exploded during his alchemy process under the watchful eyes of everyone.

There's only one batch of ingredients left, so I definitely need to be extra careful and avoid another explosion.

However, what you fear most is what happens most often.

With a loud "bang!", Sun Qiansheng's stove exploded again. At this moment, Sun Qiansheng was completely desperate and collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

"I'm such a failure!" Sun Qiansheng thought to himself.

"I've wasted this hard-earned competition qualification. I guess my strength is only this much!"

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Sun Qiansheng ran out of materials and was eliminated.

Seeing Sun Qiansheng slumped on the ground, Duan Wu immediately ordered someone to take him away.

The game continues.

The remaining three were all keeping a close eye on their alchemy furnaces.

Li Deming was one of the remaining three alchemists.

Hearing Sun Qiansheng's furnace explode twice beside him, Li Deming was already extremely nervous. However, thanks to his strong concentration, he was able to focus on his alchemy.

We can begin condensing the elixir now.

Li Deming's nerves tightened even more; the moment of condensing the core could not be taken lightly.

At this moment, Li Mingde's forehead was covered in sweat, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. At this moment, Li Mingde only had eyes for the alchemy furnace, and everything outside seemed to have disappeared from his world.

The chatter of the audience below the stage, the conversations of the elders of the Alchemist Alliance on stage, and even the sounds of alchemists refining pills beside them—everything seemed to have disappeared.

Li Mingde felt himself entering a special state, as if he were having a rare opportunity to refine elixirs without any distractions.

"Don't end up like Sun Qiansheng, whose furnace exploded!" A voice echoed in Li Deming's mind.

"No, I won't blow up the oven!" another voice rang out.

Li Deming's resolve gradually strengthened. Just then, sweat suddenly dripped from his forehead to the corner of his eye, and Li Deming immediately felt some discomfort in his eye, so he quickly wiped it away.

After wiping away the sweat, Li Mingde immediately felt much better and relaxed for a moment. Then, due to this moment of carelessness, the pill failed to condense.

The precious medicinal herbs were reduced to a pile of dregs. Fortunately, the furnace did not explode, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Li Deming sighed, but quickly recovered. There was still one more piece of material, so there was still a chance.

After cleaning the alchemy furnace, the second alchemy process began.

Half an hour later, Li Deming successfully completed the alchemy, and this time he succeeded in condensing the pill.

At the same time, Liu Rumei and Liu Dansheng had both completed the first condensation of the pill and were now undergoing the second condensation, hoping to refine a higher quality pill.

With the assistance of the auxiliary formation, and having already gained experience in condensing pills once, Liu Rumei was fully confident that she could refine even higher quality pills the second time.

While Liu Rumei was engrossed in alchemy, she did not notice Liu Dansheng's smug smile, as if victory was already a piece of cake.

Ye Xiaobai, who was in the distance, happened to notice this unusual situation.

"not good!"

Just as Ye Xiaobai sensed something was wrong, he heard a loud "bang" and Liu Rumei's alchemy furnace exploded.

"What's going on? Fairy Liu's alchemy furnace has exploded!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Fairy Liu have caused the furnace to explode?! My goddess couldn't possibly fail!"

"That is indeed a bit strange. Fairy Liu's alchemy furnace had already successfully refined the pills before!"

Everyone immediately started talking.

Ye Xiaobai also frowned, wondering what the problem was and how the furnace had suddenly exploded.

In any case, this matter is definitely related to Liu Dansheng and his group.

At this moment, Liu Dansheng was already smugly preparing for the final condensation of the core, while not forgetting to look at Liu Rumei and mock her, "Senior Sister Liu, the burden of being the guild leader is too heavy for you to handle. Let your junior brother take on this responsibility!"

"You!" Liu Rumei was already filled with doubt, surprise and at a loss when the elixir exploded in the furnace. She was then mocked by Liu Dansheng and couldn't find any words to refute him.

The most urgent task was to determine the cause of the explosion. Liu Rumei ignored Liu Dansheng and began to think about her own pill-condensing process.

It is very common for alchemists to have their furnaces explode during alchemy, but it is certainly extremely rare for an experienced senior alchemist like Liu Rumei.

Liu Rumei quickly recalled the entire alchemy process in her mind.

"It's the alchemy furnace! I clearly felt an energy suddenly explode in the furnace during the process of condensing the pill, causing a chain reaction. This energy collided with the energy gathered by the spiritual herbs in the furnace!"

"That's what caused the oven to explode!"

"I was tricked! No, I can't give up so easily!" With that thought, Liu Rumei immediately decided to report the situation to the person in charge of the competition.

"Elder, there's something wrong with my alchemy furnace. The results of this competition shouldn't count!" Liu Rumei walked to the elder's side and said loudly.

Before he could even speak, the crowd around him had already started whispering amongst themselves.

"What? Fairy Liu suspects there's something wrong with the alchemy furnace!"

"I never expected that Fairy Liu would try to cheat after failing to refine the elixir!"

"Fairy Liu isn't that kind of person; there's definitely something wrong with this alchemy furnace!"

Qi Wu ignored the crowd's comments and said with a smile, "Elder Liu, you can't blame the furnace for your failed alchemy! You can only blame your own lack of skill in alchemy!"

"Look at Sun Qiansheng next to you, his furnace exploded too, and no one else said anything. You can't just act unreasonable because your father is the president of the Alchemist Alliance, can you?" Qi Wu said sarcastically.

"Who's being unreasonable? There's definitely something wrong with your alchemy furnace!"

Liu Rumei, who usually has a pretty good temper, was almost so angry that she swore.

"Elder Liu, stop making trouble without evidence! Don't think that just because you have a chairman as your father, you can do whatever you want. A new chairman will be born soon!"

"I'm clearly saying there's something wrong with this alchemy furnace, so why do you keep bringing up my father? Is it because my father was injured that you have no respect for him at all?" Liu Rumei retorted.

"Absolutely not! I still have great respect for our president! Even if President Liu is no longer the president, I will still respect him!"

"However, if someone tries to use connections to gain an advantage in the competition, I, Qi Wu, will be the first to object!"

"Who are you calling a 'connection' type? I suspect there's something wrong with the alchemy furnace and want a professional alchemist to examine it. Is there a problem with that?" Liu Rumei retorted angrily.

"Of course there's a problem. If alchemists blame the furnace for every furnace explosion during alchemy, how can we compete in alchemy? Why not look for the problem within ourselves and see if we've been practicing alchemy diligently!"

"you!"

While Liu Rumei and Qi Wu were arguing, Liu Dansheng finished refining the elixir.

Liu Dansheng confidently took out a pill, a round, mid-grade Purple Bamboo Qi Transformation Pill.

Qi Wu and the other competition organizers checked the other participants' pills again, then nodded to everyone to confirm the final results of the pill-refining competition.

"After repeated confirmation by our referee team, the winner of this competition is Liu Dansheng. He refined the Purple Bamboo Qi Transformation Pill to a high grade, which is a mid-grade pill. We would also like to congratulate Master Liu in advance on becoming the new president of our Alchemist Alliance."

Upon hearing this result, many people immediately began to flatter Liu Danshi.

"Congratulations, Elder Liu!"

"No, no, congratulations Chairman Liu!"

……

As many other sects went up to greet the incoming Alchemist Alliance, an unexpected voice broke the silence.

"Everyone, please wait!"
