The Emperor gave too much, and the system, dissatisfied, has turned evil.

Chapter 97 It's time to show the real skills!

"Control Heaven and Earth!"

"Control the universe!"

"Gathering the winds and clouds!"

Amidst the flurry of falling petals, casual voices rang out. With her long hair flowing freely, Li Congxin appeared to be shaping something with one hand, while the other hand continuously sketched in the air within that shape.

The light rays formed from fire elemental power continuously appeared and combined to form a frame in the air.

Inside the imperial carriage, Emperor Danyang was once again startled.

Princess Lin Lingling, who was standing next to him, also had her beautiful eyes light up.

Li Congxin actually possesses a top-grade fire spirit root!

Lin Zhiping, who had just closed his chin with both hands, was shocked again, his mouth wide open, *snap*...

At this moment, the entire audience was shocked!

He carved his own laws, using heaven and earth as his furnace! It turns out that Li Congxin never intended to need a furnace for alchemy; instead, he wanted to use heaven and earth as his furnace to refine this batch of spiritual pills.

Those who can use heaven and earth as a furnace to refine elixirs must have extremely high attainments in alchemy.

Under the inscription of spiritual power, an intricate seal appeared in the void in front of Li Congxin. Under the radiant light, it had transformed into a virtual alchemy furnace with a tangible form but no real substance.

"Every bit of destiny is mine!"

With a flick of his finger, the Dew Grass, Snowflake Grass, Netherworld Flower, Pink Fungus... a series of materials for refining the Beauty-Preserving Pill flew into the virtual alchemy furnace.

The same amount of materials as Hayashi no Hira.

"Fire, come!" A flame ignited in his palm.

"go with!"

With a wave of his hand, crimson alchemical flames flew out, not burning beneath the furnace, but rather enveloping the virtual alchemical furnace in a more advanced way...

Next, as if playing with fire, Li Congxin moved his five fingers with both hands, and the invisible alchemy furnace, which was wrapped in alchemical fire, began to be forged in the void three meters in front of him.

There were people all around, both above and below, and it was completely quiet.

Silence fell; everyone was filled with shock.

Lin Zhiping wore an expression of disbelief.

Li Congxin really knew how to make elixirs.

Furthermore, it is clear that his mastery of alchemy is extremely high!

Controlling the laws of space without using a pill furnace, and using heaven and earth as a furnace, is ten thousand times more difficult than using a pill furnace.

Heaven and earth are the furnace; not only must one possess profound alchemical skills, but one must also be steady! Steady hands, a steady mind, steady mental strength—in every aspect, one must be as steady as a seasoned driver.

In addition, one must have excellent control, exceptionally good control, to be able to pinpoint the perfect moment within milliseconds during the quenching process (the sparks generated by the fusion and collision of materials rub against each other to form particles, which is the prototype of the pill), and to be able to speed up or slow down as desired.

The slightest mistake could lead to either a violent outburst or a leak.

"Violence" can mean anything from burning something to exploding in the oven.

"Xie" means to leak air, like cooking rice that wasn't cooked properly, turning a pot of ingredients into a pot of porridge.

This is something that ordinary alchemists cannot do.

However, Li Congxin showed no sign of caution or care whatsoever, controlling the machine from a distance, his hands constantly fiddling with it as if playing with walnuts...

He even turned around and laughed, "Sister, Xiangran, guess what grade of elixir I refined?"

Everyone was shocked. Li Tianxin was so frightened that she quickly said in a coquettish voice, "You naughty little brother, be serious."

Mo Xiangran also whispered, "Teacher, don't get distracted."

Refining elixirs requires complete concentration; the worst thing you can do is get distracted. You've already turned your head to chat with someone; don't you want to win anymore?

Li Congxin, fiddling with his hands, simply turned to the two women and said, "What did you say? Speak louder, I didn't hear you."

Li Tianxin: "..."

Mo Xiangran: "..."

Shocked...

At first, there was complete silence, but gradually, various sounds began to emerge.

"So the imperial prince of the Tianqing Continent is this powerful."

"Emperor Lin refines pills remotely. He doesn't even need a pill furnace. His method is much more advanced than Emperor Lin's."

"Look how steady he is!" "Hmm~, Prince Li's control is so good."

"You've got such good control! Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, your movements are so skillful, not stiff at all. You're definitely a pro..."

Amidst the lively discussions, many cultivators couldn't help but reveal their admiration.

Just then...

"open!"

Li Congxin opened his hands and his arms trembled slightly.

boom!

Ahead, a muffled sound came from the virtual alchemy furnace in the void, and the enveloping spiritual flames exploded, flashing a dazzling purple light in the air.

Upon seeing that light, Lin Zhiping was completely stunned. His mouth, which had just closed, suddenly opened wide again, *crack*...

He was truly terrified.

The color is white, purple, and gold. When the furnace is opened, it emits white light, and the quality of the refined elixir is between grade 1 and 5. If it emits purple light, it means that the quality of the refined elixir is higher, above grade 5!

Even with the alchemy furnace, he couldn't guarantee success every time he tried to refine elixirs of grade 5 or higher.

As if suddenly recalling something, he felt a jolt in his heart again.

Someone of his skill level could never refine pills using the heavens and earth as a furnace; only his father possessed such an ability.

Li Congxin was actually a master of Taoist alchemy.

"Disperse!"

With a casual wave of his sleeve, Li Congxin caused the virtual alchemy furnace in the air to dissipate, leaving five radiant and fragrant elixirs floating in the void.

It took less than half the time of Lin Zhiping.

Five Grade 7 Youth Preservation Pills were refined.

Boom! The entire audience erupted in commotion upon seeing the elixir in the void.

The Grade 7 Youth-Preserving Pill is two grades higher than Lin Zhiping's!

What is the difference between a Grade 7 Youth-Preserving Pill and a Grade 5 Youth-Preserving Pill?

The Grade 5 Youth-Preserving Pill can whiten skin, remove wrinkles, and even perform minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, plus maintain youthful appearance for eighty years!

Grade 7 can improve appearance, adjust facial features, and preserve youth for 500 years!

The Grade 7 Youth-Preserving Pill is incredibly expensive, something that ordinary cultivators wouldn't even dare to dream of. Only those with powerful backgrounds or strong personal abilities can afford it.

"You just did a quick job and it's already this amazing?"

Li Tianxin was surprised, but then her eyebrows lit up with joy and her face lit up with a smile.

"You brat, with this level of knowledge, you actually claim to only have a smattering of alchemy! With this level of knowledge, why would she need to distract Lin Zhiping and disrupt his Dao mind?"

"My God, with just a little refining, it's a Grade 7 Jade Youth-Preserving Pill."

"That's amazing!"

"This level of skill is already at the level of a master alchemist, isn't it?"

Everyone began to look at Li Congxin with a tense and expectant expression. Just now, Lin Zhiping had given a gift, so Li Congxin, who was also an imperial prince and whose demeanor was even more extraordinary, would not be an exception, right?

Who knows who will be lucky enough to obtain these few elixirs he refined?

"you you you you you."

Without a second thought, Li Congxin randomly pointed to a few girls, four of whom had just received youth-preserving pills from Lin Zhiping.

With a wave of his hand, the elixir flew towards them.

[Ding ding ding...] Immediately afterwards, several system notifications sounded, offering a thousandfold return.

Everyone was taken aback.

Why is it them again?

Didn't Lin Zhiping give them the Youth Preservation Pill he refined?

But then I immediately understood...

The girls were overjoyed, as if they had been granted a stroke of good fortune.

Of course, they weren't stupid. This was a competition between two chosen ones of the world. As the beneficiaries, they could only lean towards and support one of them. After obtaining the Grade 7 Youth Preservation Pill, they quickly took out a Grade 5 Youth Preservation Pill and walked up to Lin Zhiping: "Emperor Lin, thank you for the pill, but I don't need it."

Lin Zhiping stood there dumbfounded, completely at a loss.

This is crazy...

That would be awkward!

I wanted to force a nonchalant smile, but I couldn't manage it. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say.

I don't know whether I should reach out my hand or not...

It was extremely awkward.

For a moment, his face displayed a wide range of expressions.

Seeing that he wouldn't take it, the women could only stuff the elixir into his arms. One of the girls, who wasn't particularly clever but was quite self-important, said shyly, "Prince Lin, please don't like me anymore."

“I… prefer Prince Lee.”

After saying that, she covered her face shyly and ran away.

Lin Zhiping, holding his pill, was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear.

He was a chosen one of the world, the most outstanding young alchemy talent, and he was also so handsome. As a result, the pills he refined were rejected in public.

Forced return! What a disgrace, they've completely lost face.

In an instant, an inexplicable rage surged within him, his fists clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth with malice towards Li Congxin.

You defeated me.

They even insulted me!

Why are you glaring at me?

Li Congxin remained calm and composed: "In our contest, who do you think will win?"

"Of course!"

"Naturally, the Imperial Son of the Heavenly Peak Continent will prevail."

The onlookers around them voiced their opinions in a fair manner.

The results of the competition were obvious. With the same materials, Li Congxin's pills were superior to Lin Zhiping's in terms of quantity, grade, time taken, and skill.

It was a complete rout.

Hearing the sounds around him, Lin Zhiping, who had never lost before, was filled with indignation and humiliation. Suddenly, he impulsively shouted, "This imperial prince has not admitted defeat yet!"

"The outcome is still uncertain."

"Come."

"continue."

In his excitement, his handsome face turned bright red, his body trembled violently, releasing his aura, and his hands danced wildly, sending out streaks of spiritual light in the void.

Everyone was taken aback.

"Even the Emperor Lin needs heaven and earth as his furnace."

"Is he capable?"

"I'm looking at Xuan."

After suffering defeat and humiliation, this imperial prince of the Alchemy Continent seems to have lost control.

A handsome and dashing prince, admired by women everywhere, was publicly humiliated by several ordinary women in front of everyone...

It would be strange if it didn't get out of control.

If it were Li Congxin, he would have just cut himself clean.

He was invincible through rigorous training and possessed unlimited resurrections, though he himself couldn't even kill himself...

"Control the universe!"

"Gathering the winds and clouds!"

With a series of loud shouts, streaks of light flew out, and Lin Zhiping also forcibly inscribed a seal, transforming it into a furnace for alchemy.

With a flick of his sleeve, the materials flew into the furnace.

With a wave of his hand, a flame ignited in his palm...

"change!"

"change!"

"Send it to me..."

Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions brightened. Inside the imperial carriage, Emperor Danyang's expression changed: "My son, your skill in alchemy is far inferior to Li Congxin's. With your father here, do not show off."

But it was too late...

boom!

A loud bang, like a hand grenade exploding.

Flowers bloom in the air.

"what……"

Amidst the explosion, a scream rang out.

The powerful shockwave released after the explosion caused Lin Zhiping to cough up blood. As if he had been hit in the stomach by a cannonball, he was thrown backward, his arms and legs straightened.
