Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 483: Chapter 12: Am I, Wang Shouye, Suddenly Invincible?_2

It didn’t last more than two hours.

Members of the Qian Family, the Yuwen Clan, and the young alchemists were unwilling to leave. They all rushed over to spectate, eager to witness the final result.

…

Two hours later, the doors of both alchemy rooms opened virtually at the same time. Dongfang Yuxi and Wang Shouye emerged from inside.

The process of making the Large Solid Yuan Pill is very draining, both mentally and on the spiritual sense. Even though they were merely gathering the pills, they were both very tired after over two hours. They both had a weary look on their faces at this moment.

Seeing all the big shots had been waiting for a long time, they immediately surrounded them.

“Yuxi, how did it go?”

Old Ancestor Bohua asked in a low voice.

“Relax, Elder. I performed well this time. I’m certain we can win.” Dongfang Yuxi’s lips curled up in a slight smile, looking utterly confident, as if victory was already in his hands.

Old Ancestor Bohua was instantly relieved. @@novelbin@@

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouye looked ashamed, not daring to even meet Wang Shouzhe’s eyes: “Brother, I didn’t do well this time. I performed worse than usual. I’m sure I’m going to embarrass you… I think I was too nervous.”

Wang Shouzhe paused for a moment, comforting him: “Don’t worry. You’re still young. There’s plenty of room for growth in the future.”

Wang Shouye felt no consolation from his words, instead hanging his head even lower. He was blaming himself, wondering how he could have failed at such a crucial moment.

“Hmph~”

Dongfang Yuxi let out an almost imperceptible scoff upon hearing their conversation.

If it weren’t for the need to maintain the decorum of a prominent family in front of this large crowd, he would surely have ridiculed Wang Shouye thoroughly. Without any real skill, he dared to make a fool of himself. Did he think anyone could be an alchemist?

By defeating Master Danding’s “disciple” this time around, he could prove that Master Danding was blind and elevate his own worth in the process.

At this moment, Gu Hanyu also came over to assess the results of the alchemy process.

“Miss Gu, this is the Large Solid Yuan Pill I’ve refined. Please examine it.”

Dongfang Yuxi suppressed his distractions, held his box of pills with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Gu Hanyu.

Gu Hanyu took it, opened it up, and was surprised to raise an eyebrow at what she saw.

In the box held in her hands were seven Large Solid Yuan Pills, the size of human nails. They were perfectly round and had a greenish hue. In fact, they even faintly glowed. It was clear at first glance that they were of good quality.

“Seven pills, good quality.” She looked back at Dongfang Yuxi, traces of admiration and regret in her eyes. “For someone your age to have such capabilities is quite impressive. It truly is a pity.”

“Many thanks for your praises, Miss Gu.”

Dongfang Yuxi smiled politely, simmering with bitter mockery inside his heart. Master Danding, oh Master Danding, I wonder if you will regret your lack of insight secretly?

My skills in alchemy promise me an achievement not inferior to yours in the future!

Usually, he could only produce five to six pills, and he might only make four when he was not in his best condition. Today, he managed to make seven pills. It’s like he had a run of good luck.

The big shots present were also very surprised. They didn’t expect Dongfang Yuxi to have such capabilities.

“To produce seven pills is the ability of a mature third-grade alchemist. He is still so young and already has such strength. It is truly remarkable.” Elder Yuwen Jinghong of the Yuwen Clan couldn’t help but express his deep admiration. “If we’d known he had such skill…”

At this point, he sighed. It was Master Danding’s turf, after all; he couldn’t voice his complete thoughts.

But those present were all shrewd men. How could they not understand what he meant?

Master Danding might regret not having taken Dongfang Yuxi as a disciple once he found out about this.

The big shots behind him, Qian Xuefu and Situ Nianjing, also couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh.

“Alas, what a pity~” Qian Xuefu lamented with regret. “Dongfang Yuxi isn’t normally this good. He must have had a stroke of luck today.”

Situ Nianjing looked anxious: “If Dongfang Yuxi’s performance was a little bit worse, Shouye might have stood a chance. Now, hasn’t Shouye already lost?”

The two of them were full of regret and couldn’t help but look at Wang Shouye’s face. But they saw that Wang Shouye was also full of shock and disorientation. It seemed as if he had encountered something difficult to understand, “This… something doesn’t feel right.”

“Brother Shouye.”

Qian Xuefu thought Wang Shouye couldn’t accept the reality of defeat and started to console him but was interrupted by Dongfang Yuxi.

“It’s your turn, Brother Shouye.”

Dongfang Yuxi gestured a polite salute to Wang Shouye. He appeared to be the perfect gentleman, but his eyes couldn’t hide the smugness and expectation.

Wang Shouye finally snapped back to reality and quickly took out his pill box, holding it up to Gu Hanyu: “Big Sister Hanyu, please examine my pills.”

Gu Hanyu had lost hope for Wang Shouye after seeing that Dongfang Yuxi had made seven Large Solid Yuan Pills.

But considering Wang Shouye’s feelings, she didn’t say anything. She received his pill box just like before and casually opened it. When she left Changning Town, Wang Shouye had only begun working with Large Solid Yuan Pills not long before.

Suddenly!

A box of Large Solid Yuan Pills that were neatly arranged was thrust into her sight.

Gu Hanyu was instantly stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened unconsciously. For a moment, she was slightly disoriented and felt as if she were living in a dream.

Dongfang Yuxi’s expression also instantly froze, his eyes wide open. “How… How could this be? Impossible! No, this can’t be real…”
