Chapter 359: Chapter 359: The Trap in the Pill Formula

“I have read all of your pill formulas, and regretfully, I must inform you that among the thirty pill formulas, only one person’s pill formula is entirely correct,” said the middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, the whole audience was both shocked and stunned, even Zhao Shenkong, Guo Zhen, and Su Xiaotong.

Only one person was correct? Does that mean that the pill formulas written by others were incorrect?

How is this possible? Even characters like Zhao Shenkong, Guo Zhen, and Su Xiaotong could be wrong?

Who might be the only person who is completely correct?

At this moment, many people unanimously turned their gaze towards Fang Lin. He sat there emitting an air of indifference and appeared very relaxed.

A cunning smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face, he said, “You all certainly made assumptions about the pill recorded on this half-written pill formula. However, I have to tell you, it’s not the Bluehaze Pill you all were guessing but rather the Ziyidan Pill.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s faces changed dramatically, all becoming extremely unpleasant, except for Fang Lin.

“This is impossible!” An immediate rebuttal came from the crowd.

“How can it be the Ziyidan Pill? It’s clearly the pill formula for the Bluehaze Pill!”

“They can’t be making a fool out of us, can they?”

“We need an explanation!”

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction. They all guessed it to be the formula for the Bluehaze Pill, and to hear it’s the formula for the Ziyidan Pill, how could they believe it?

“I have doubts,” Zhao Shenkong voiced out, although his voice wasn’t particularly loud, it carried an imposing air.

The middle-aged man nodded, “Feel free to voice your doubts.”

Zhao Shenkong stood up expressionless, “The twelve medicinal ingredients on the pill formula, while all are auxiliaries, are essential for refining the Bluehaze Pill. Why do you say it’s the pill formula for the Ziyidan Pill?”

The middle-aged man responded with a slight smile, “Since it is so, I presume all of you share this confusion. Therefore, let’s allow the only one who correctly identified the pill formula to explain this to you.”

Having finished speaking, the middle-aged man turned his gaze towards Fang Lin.

Everyone’s faces twitched, each exhibiting strange expressions.

Fang Lin again? Why is it always Fang Lin?

Everyone was screaming inside. Why is it always him? How many times have we faced this, Fang Lin, just how much more of a prodigy will you be?

“Fang Lin, only your pill formula is written as per the Ziyidan Pill. How did you manage to discern this?” the middle-aged man asked. freewёbnoνel.com

Fang Lin smirked, he didn’t really want to preach in front of everyone, but since he was called upon, he couldn’t remain silent.

Upon rising to his feet, Fang Lin reluctantly began to explain with an expression portraying great unwillingness,” What’s there to say? Among the twelve medicinal ingredients, Heaven Star Leaf and Green Fire Vine are compatible, but the medicinal fluid formed after their combination clashes with another medicinal ingredient, the Blue Sea Flower. If one were to actually use these medicinal ingredients to refine the Bluehaze Pill, it would not be successful. However, if one adds the heart of a Sea Jade Fish it can perfectly resolve the conflict. And the addition of the Sea Jade Fish’s heart means only the Ziyidan Pill can be refined.”

Upon finishing, Fang Lin ignored everyone’s reactions and directly sat down.

The entire venue was plunged into silence. Many people were still recalling Fang Lin’s words, though a few pill refiners with quicker responses had already understood.

Zhao Shenkong was stunned, he stood there, his whole face seemed to have frozen.

“The medicinal properties combining and then clashing again with a third medicinal ingredient… so it is, so it is!” Zhao Shenkong murmured. There was a hint of unwillingness on his face as he stiffly took his seat.

The others of Yun Country were all silent, none of them dared to speak a word. They knew Zhao Shenkong was not in a good mood.

On Meng Kingdom’s side, Guo Zhen’s face turned gloomy, as if he was shrouded in a dark fog.

Seeing his state, the others from Meng promptly distanced themselves from him, seeming quite wary of Guo Zhen.

Su Xiaotong turned to look at Fang Lin, her face full of admiration. Even she had not thought that deep into it, but Fang Lin did and went on to brilliantly discern that it’s the pill formula for the Ziyidan Pill and not the Bluehaze Pill.

The writing of this half pill formula was entirely for the purpose of misleading everyone’s thoughts.

If one conceived the wrong direction from the beginning, then no matter how perfectly they complement the pill formula afterwards, it is still wrong.

Because even if it’s supplemented perfectly, it’s still a flawed pill formula.

Unless one can see through the conflict that arises after the merging of medicinal properties, solve the issue and then deduce it, they would not be able to refine a perfect pill.

Initially when Fang Lin saw this half-written pill formula, he too subconsciously moved to deduce it as per the Bluehaze Pill formula.

However, when he saw the three medicinal ingredients appearing together, he sensed something was not right.

As expected, these three medicinal ingredients were the trap of the pill formula.

Only Fang Lin saw through this trap to make the clearest judgment.

Everyone else was completely deceived by this trap.

Even Zhao Shenkong, who has a Hundred Refining Body, due to his lack of experience fell for this cunning trap regardless of his depth of understanding of the Alchemy Tao.

Of course, some experienced old pill refiners would not be so easily deceived by this method.

If Fang Lin had not had previous life experience as a Pill Sovereign, he would have certainly stumbled upon it.

Ultimately, this not only tests the pill refiner’s mastery over pill formulas but also combines a considerable part of herbology knowledge.

Fang Lin once again became the focal point of everyone’s attention. At this moment, even the most arrogant individuals swallowed the last of their contempt.

Admittedly, Fang Lin did not shine brilliantly on the Gold Testing Stone, and could even be said to be very mediocre, but he demonstrated his excellence at this Pill Refiners Conference by completely overshadowing even the likes of Zhao Shenkong who were supposed to shine the most.

No matter how talented Fang Lin is, at this moment, he is the most noticeable.

Elder Su had a smile across his face, while the stern old man and Old Woman Gu bore somber expressions.

They had envisaged many scenarios for this Pill Refiner Conference, but none of them included Fang Lin surpassing everyone else.

Zhuge Cang and his companions were also surprised. This Fang Lin, who was only about seventeen or eighteen, how could he have such profound knowledge in herbalism and pill formulas?

“This Fang Lin from Qian Country is really formidable.”

“We underestimated him.”

“A character worthy of attention.”

The pill refiners inside the Black Cauldron City praised Fang Lin without reserve.

“Next, we will conduct a unique pill formula appreciation test. I have here a complete pill formula, but I need to replace five of the medicinal ingredients in it. You all can give it a try, to see if you can substitute the original five medicinal ingredients on the pill formula with other medicinal ingredients,” said the middle-aged man.
