Chapter 547 The Gap Between Alchemist Geniuses

Mu Qingyuan stepped forward once more, his presence drawing every gaze in the hall.

The murmurs gradually subsided.

His eyes swept across the participants, checking whether everyone was prepared.

”Before we begin, let me lay down the rules.”

The young alchemists straightened instinctively.

”This competition has no restriction on equipment or ingredients.”

A slight pause.

”You may use your own cauldrons, flames, and materials.”

Although it wonʼt be entirely fair-since depending on oneʼs background, one can obtain better equipment and ingredients-in the end, that too is an ability.

This was the reality of the cultivation world.

After all, no one would care about what materials were used or what equipment was involved.

The only thing that mattered was the quality of the pill.

”Of course,” he added, ”for those who did not prepare, the Mu Clan has already provided standard cauldrons and ingredients.”

His gaze shifted briefly toward the neatly arranged platforms.

”No one will be prevented from participating due to a lack of resources.”

Then his expression turned slightly more serious.

”During the competition...”

A faint pressure spread from him.

”No one is allowed to interfere with another alchemist, whether intentional or accidental.”

”If anyone violates this rule, they will be immediately disqualified.”

Under the watch of so many powerful figures, nobody dared to disobey.

Even the tiniest Qi fluctuation couldnʼt escape the eyes of a Grandmaster Alchemist.

Finally, Mu Qingyuan raised his hand slightly.

”As for the outcome...”

All attention sharpened.

”The winner will be determined by the quality of the pill refined.”

Simple and straightforward.

”And if the grade is the same...”

A faint glint appeared in his eyes.

”We will judge based on the pill itself.”

No two pills are the same.

Some are more difficult to refine, while others are simpler-even if both share the same grade.

With so many great alchemists present, although opinions may vary, they could decide by vote if necessary-but only if the best pills have the same grade. With that-

The rules were set.

Mu Qingyuan lowered his hand.

”Now...”

A slight smile appeared on his face.

”Begin!”

The moment Mu Qingyuan gave the signal, the competition began.

Almost instantly, the atmosphere transformed.

One by one, the participating alchemists raised their hands.

Light flickered.

Storage rings shimmered.

And then, cauldrons appeared.

A series of metallic hums echoed as heavy vessels descended onto the prepared

platforms.

Some were simple.

Ordinary-grade cauldrons-sturdy but unremarkable.

Others were more refined-high-quality vessels, their surfaces engraved with basic runes, clearly Yellow Grade artifacts.

They were already considered decent among most alchemists.

Yet-

The moment the top geniuses revealed theirs-

The difference became painfully clear.

A deep, resonant clang echoed.

Yan Ruichenʼs cauldron landed before him.

Its body was deep azure, with intricate flame patterns carved along its surface.

The aura it emitted was steady and profound, faint wisps of spiritual heat distorting the air around it.

”Profound Grade...”

Someone whispered.

Not far away-

Qi Meilingʼs cauldron appeared just as gracefully.

Elegant.

Refined.

Its jade-green surface shimmered faintly, almost like flowing water. The inscriptions on it were delicate yet complex, clearly crafted by a master.

Another Profound Grade artifact.

While Profound Grade weapons wouldnʼt be that rare, it was different for cauldrons, which were much rarer.

Hence, even though it was just a Profound Grade artifact, since it was a cauldron, it was almost like they were taking out Earth-Grade weapons.

Murmurs spread.

Already, the gap in resources had begun to show.

But then-

A heavier sound resounded.

BOOM!

The moment Huo Shenyuʼs cauldron appeared, the entire hall seemed to pause.

Dark crimson in color, with faint golden lines running across its body like

flowing lava. The aura it emitted wasnʼt just strong-it was oppressive. Even without activating it, the surrounding Qi seeme to bend slightly toward

it.

Then-

”...That... that canʼt be... Earth-Grade?!”

The words spread like wildfire.

Shock!

Disbelief!

An Earth-Grade cauldron.

Something that even many Grade-7 alchemists did not possess.

Yet here it was in the hands of Huo Shenyu.

”It really is the Vermillion Pill Empire...” ”They actually gave such a treasure to a junior...”

”This... this is ridiculous...”

Even Yan Ruichenʼs brows furrowed slightly.

Qi Meilingʼs calm expression showed the faintest ripple.

Not only was Huo Shenyu more skilled than everyone present, but now, with a

cauldron of such level, the difference only increased.

Among the crowd, many could only sigh inwardly.

(How do you compete with that...?)

On the Mu Clanʼs side, even some elders couldnʼt help but frown slightly.

They had expected Huo Shenyu to be prepared-but not to this extent. On the other hand, Mu Linyue also stared at Huo Shenyuʼs cauldron with envy.

She also had a Profound Grade cauldron, which was better than most-but still

paled in comparison to an Earth-Grade one. However, she wasnʼt jealous.

(Bai Zihan has already promised to give me an Earth-Grade cauldron when I

reach Grade-6!)

With the treasure of Immortal Emperor Feilian in his hand, he not only had Earth-Grade cauldrons but even Heaven-Grade ones.

The only reason he had not given one to Mu Linyue was because he believed a

Profound Grade cauldron was more than enough-perhaps even overkill for someone at her level.

No matter the tool, he believed that if the person lacked the ability to handle it,

then it would simply be wasted.

Moreover, by making a promise to give her one upon reaching Grade-6, he also

increased her motivation to work even harder.

Sigh!

Many felt that they werenʼt going to win even before refining the pills.

But they werenʼt people who would give up so easily.

Then-

Flames rose.

Whoosh! Spiritual flames ignited across the hall.

Even the weakest among those present possessed spiritual flames far superior

to ordinary fire.

After all, no one standing here was ordinary.

They were all geniuses.

Yet-

Just like with the cauldrons-

The gap quickly revealed itself.

Yan Ruichen raised his hand.

A deep blue flame burst forth.

It did not flicker wildly-instead, it flowed like water, steady and controlled.

The temperature was terrifying, yet its movements were precise.

”Thatʼs... a Beast Flame!”

”Azure Serpent Flame... if Iʼm not mistaken!”

Murmurs rose.

A flame harvested from a high-level spirit beast-

Rare and powerful.

And superior to spiritual flames.

Not far away, Qi Meiling also revealed hers.

A soft green flame blossomed in her palm.

At first glance, it seemed gentle-

Almost harmless.

But the moment it touched the cauldron, the air itself warped slightly, as if

being refined along with the ingredients.

”Another Beast Flame...”

”Jade Mist Spirit Flame...” ”She truly lives up to her reputation...”

Her control- Her precision-

Combined with such a flame-

It was no wonder her success rate was so terrifying.

Across the field, several other geniuses also revealed their own flames.

All of them, without exception, possessed high-quality spiritual flames.

Two even had weaker Beast Flames.

This alone showed the level of this competition.

But then-

Huo Shenyu moved.

He raised his hand.

BOOM!

A dark crimson flame erupted.

It did not flicker.

It did not waver.

It roared.

Like a living entity.

Golden streaks ran through it, like molten veins pulsing with terrifying heat.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding flames trembled.

Some even dimmed slightly.

As if suppressed.

”...!”

Shock spread across the hall.

”That... what kind of flame is that?!”

”Itʼs also a Beast Flame-but... far stronger than the other two!”

Even Yan Ruichenʼs blue flame wavered faintly.

Qi Meilingʼs green flame lost a trace of its earlier brilliance.

Side by side-

The difference was obvious.

If their flames were exceptional then Huo Shenyuʼs was dominant.

The temperature alone was enough to distort the air violently.

The pressure it emitted caused even spectators to feel a faint heat pressing

against their skin.

”This...”

”How is anyone supposed to compete with that...?”

Whispers spread uncontrollably. Background! Cauldron!

Flame!

In every aspect, Huo Shenyu stood above the rest.

Even before the competition had truly begun, the outcome already seemed

decided.
