Chapter 1353: Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 102

Chapter 1352

…

Xin Ja noticed that there is something under the fruit-like herb. As he scanned what is under it, a slight smirk appears on his mouth.

"They truly are playing dirty…" he muttered while looking at the fruit-like herb.

As he extends his hand, he grabs the herb and then the others in his ingredients then walk back to his table.

A look of anticipation could be seen on the Xulo clan patriarch's face as he watches what Xin Ja did.

However, after nothing has happened, he seriously observes the movement of Xin Ja but found that he is still doing okay.

He suddenly glared at the servant behind him.

The servant is already drenched in a cold sweat as he saw that nothing has happened. According to the trap he sets up, if Xin Ja touches that herb, then it would trigger the small trap below it and that herb would be destroyed.

And that would cause his hand to be burned by the small explosion combined with the herb.

He could not help but lower his gaze as he dare not meet the anger of his master.

At this time, Xin Ja showed a smirk on his face as he wave his hand like it was magic and the fruit-like herb appears on the table.

He did not want to bother with anything anymore as he needed to concentrate on refining the herbs he took.

The two materials are easy to refine, but the dried herb that looks like a weathered cactus is different. He has to expend a lot of effort in refining it.

There is actually another way other than using fire to refine these materials. But that would cause a great sensation if he uses that skill.

Of course, that does not mean he could not mask it.

As he focuses on the cauldron in front of him, the distraction in his surroundings has already been removed from his mind.

Xin Ja started his refining process and it took him a while before he is able to finish the two herbs. And then sets aside the two vials.

He then quickly takes the last herb and begins refining it. Little by little the herb began to emit black color. When Xin Ja saw this, his face changed in color.

He knew that those people have once again played their tricks. He has not expected that they could even do this to the herb that even after he scanned it with his absolute sense he did not detect this trick.

Well, it was partially his fault as he did not scan the herb deeply and just scanned it on the surface.

It turns out that under the second layer of the herb those people have wiped an unknown substance making the herb produce such thick smoke.

If he could not remove this thick smoke then he would not be able to do anything. And he could not finish his refining and then concocting.

But sometimes with great trouble comes great opportunity.

And right now, Xin Ja calls this a great opportunity.

These black smoke actually would not let one sense what is happening around him. And that in turn would render those that are watching him unable to see what is happening at his table.

Although Xin Ja was a bit flustered at first when he discovered this event, he could not help but want to kiss those people and thank them for giving him a chance to use that skill.

He did not hesitate and his fingers suddenly glowed with different colors.

Then he began to touch the herb in front of him.

As if it was clay, the herb began to melt by his touch, and then he removed the particles that cause the black smoke. Then he quickly removed the infirmities of the herb and refined the herb at around 95% purity.

He dare not refine it to the fullest as he knew the trouble it would cause.

95% is the refinement range that he needed so that he would be able to concoct that pill.

The pill that Xin Ja is going to concoct is the 6th-tier Breakthrough pill.

This pill originally can be made using another set of ingredients, but that would only reach about 10% in success at the higher realms, and 30% if the cultivator is lower than the Ki-Master realm.

But with the ingredients he is using now, the success rate is doubled.

As Xin Ja finished his refining, he did not waste time and quickly combined the other ingredients on the table.

Soon, the black smoke has already dissipated and they saw him already concocting the pill.

Some of the alchemists sneered at his folly.

The particles from that black smoke would surely have an effect on the final result of the pill he is concocting. It was a foolish idea to chase the time and then create a failed product in the end. If it was them, they would stop concocting until that black smoke disappear before resuming.

As Xin Ja refines using the alchemy pot, a slight sneer appears on Xulo Peng's mouth.

20 minutes to go before the time ends…

10 minutes…

5 minutes…

1 minute…

30 seconds…

Crack!!!

Suddenly, the alchemy pot sounded as if it is about to explode.

Xin Ja saw this and his attention was disrupted by this. As soon as he loses focus the flame suddenly increased unnaturally.

Then it suddenly engulfed the whole alchemy pot along with Xin Ja.

Bang!!!

His table was shattered and everything in it exploded into smithereens. Even the alchemist standing in front of him was hit by the debris that flew out.

The figure of Xin Ja was thrown to the back and hits a couple of tables creating a series of other explosions.

The crowd gasped and quickly stood up from their seat as they did not expect that such a powerful explosion could happen while concocting pills.

With this scene alone they could not help but shake their head as they lament the fate of that alchemist that was plotted.

But the thing that baffled everyone the most is the trajectory that Xin Ja went flying at.

After he hits the table behind him, his body actually bounces up and then landed on the table of Xulo Yan.

Xulo Yan is still in the middle of concocting and what happened back then is something that startled him.

And when he looks up it was already too late as the body of Xin Ja came falling on this table causing another explosion.

The incident has affected a few alchemists and everyone cursed at the bastard that plotted such a heinous act.

"Damn it! You could have used a small exploding talisman, why did you have to use a more powerful one and involve us in your plots!" a clan patriarch grumbled on the side as one of the alchemists that were affected belonged to his clan.

"Damn that Xulo clan! I know you have a grudge against that guy, but why such a tactic? Only fools would do such a thing." Another patriarch angrily commented.

Meanwhile, the patriarch of the Xulo clan froze on the spot.

He did not know what is happening and how that explosion occurred but it was too powerful to be subtle. It's like it is announcing that Xin Ja is being plotted upon.

And of course, the eyes of the people would point in their direction as they are the only family that has a deep grudge against the guy.

He suddenly looks to the side and saw the expression of his son. He could not help but have his expression sink.

From that smirk on his face, he knew that everything was done by his stupid eldest son.

He glared at the stupid bastard and almost wanted to eat him alive.

Then suddenly his eyes quickly shifted to the direction of the table of his youngest son.

Xulo Yan froze on the spot and looks at the destruction in front of him.

His concoction failed and he felt a bit depressed and at the same time angered.

He could not help but look at the figure staggering on the side while slowly standing up.

"You bastard!" he growled.

Suddenly from the audience's stand, Ao Meixi stood up and then loudly protested.

"This is unfair! This is a blatant attack! We request that our alchemist retry!" she shouted.

However, the eyes of the Xulo clan patriarch glowed and a wicked smile appears on his face.

"If we let that happen, what about those that failed? Are they also allowed to retry?" he shouted.

Although his son would fail, at least they already have the badge. But he could not let that person pass no matter what.

The crowd became rowdy as they did not want that to happen.

The judges look at each other and could not help but helplessly shake their heads.

"It was Alchemist Xin's fault for not inspecting his pot before concocting…" a judge shouted.

This made the rest of the people in the crowd gasp.

Ting!!!

The bell suddenly sounded as if the contest has already reached the time limit.

Now the alchemists have to stop what they are doing and the judges will not check their pills.

Suddenly among the alchemist, a loud sound appears as if that person is experiencing a bout of pain.

When everyone saw who it was they quickly remembered the bet. They could only shake their heads as they lament that person's fate.
