From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 195: Chapter 193: Pill Furnace Shattered_1

Whoosh—

As Ah Si's words fell, the hall erupted into commotion once again.

More examinees began to give up on this competition, as the exam had been disrupted beyond continuation. Their gazes collectively turned to the Seventh Elder. As the chief invigilator who allegedly assisted in cheating, he faced being stripped of all his alchemy privileges for life!

"We demand the pill furnace be broken open on the spot! Expose the truth to all!" A parent from Guizhou yelled from the audience stand.

"Exactly! To think a public figure would break the law, how severely would this corrupt the morals of society? The pill furnace must be broken open on the spot! Give all the examinees an equal chance!"

Some of the audience members, however, retained their composure and frowned slightly, "The alchemy competition takes a very harsh stance on cheating. How could the Seventh Elder commit such a foolish act at this time?"

"But if it's as you say, how then would you explain this fourth-order elixir?"

"We can't let the Seventh Elder smash the pill furnace. If he continues to collude in cheating and secretly takes the ingredients from the furnace, who would know? The pill furnace must be smashed by an impartial invigilator!"

...

Hearing the crowd repeatedly accusing him of cheating, the Seventh Elder's gaze towards Ah Si turned even colder—he had treated Ah Si quite well in everyday life.

Moreover, when Ah Si had previously wanted to attack Fang Ren, the reason he intervened and injured Ah Si was to save Ah Si's life. Unexpectedly, not only did Ah Si fail to understand his intentions, but Ah Si had also chosen this moment to stab him in the back, truly a chilling revelation.

"Hehehe!"

Ah Si, seeing the Seventh Elder's icy gaze, let out a cold laugh, "Seventh Elder, are you perhaps afraid? Do you wish to kill me to relieve your anger? Alas, I'm sorry, but from now on, you'll never have that chance!"

After hearing this, the Seventh Elder's expression turned deeply disappointed. Would he kill Ah Si over this? Ah Si's perspective on him was truly despicable.

Hum—

As his not-so-loud voice fell, those in the spectator stands with higher Cultivation Level heard it loud and clear.

"Did... Butler Liu just call him... Young Master Fang?"

"Did I hear that right? Young Master Fang? Could it be... the same one who was the talk of Tianjiang some time ago?"

"No way! Wasn't it rumored that Young Master Fang, who had no talent in both cultivation and alchemy, was in hiding because the Fang Family felt he would bring them shame? This casually produced fourth-order elixir... Is it an illusion, or does he actually possess real talent?"

"What a mess! Today's events are just too chaotic. At such a young age, it would clearly be impossible to concoct a fourth-order elixir, but as the eldest young master of the Fang Family... Does he really need to cheat in this manner?"

...

Fang Ren, hearing Butler Liu's words, couldn't help but glance at Lin Bozhong's position, noticing among those he knew, Chen Cheng and Bai Qi, were two extraordinary elders.

It seemed that Butler Liu's presence to verify his pill furnace was likely at Lin Bozhong's behest. After all, as the head butler of the Fang Family, and with Fang Ren being the young master of the Fang Family, having Lin Bozhong inspect it would surely appear as collusion.

Having another family's butler intervene eliminated any suspicions. No one else would have grounds to question him further.

"Please, go ahead," Fang Ren nodded.

At that, Butler Liu activated a stream of red True Qi in his hand, like a fine needle, and sent it flying towards the pill furnace.

Crack—

In an instant, the old pill furnace shattered, a stream of clear water pouring out, revealing an interior devoid of anything but water, not even leaving behind any ashes from the concocting process on the inner walls of the furnace.

The crisp sound of the furnace breaking was like thunder striking upon the hearts of the crowd.

There were no ingredients inside!

Only clear water!
