Upon hearing of Lu Jiuhe’s failed pill refining, Kang Lu’s face instantly paled as if he was soulless and stupefied.

Everyone was also taken aback, Lu Jiuhe is, after all, a top-notch disciple. How could he have failed in refining the mediocre Blood Coagulation Pill?

Even if an average disciple was tasked with refining the Blood Coagulation Pill, the success rate would be as high as 80%. Why did Lu Jiuhe fail?

Elder Zhou glanced back at Fang Lin and saw a smile on his face. He began to understand the situation.

“The shaking of the three mountains not only refers to shaking one’s own Pill Furnace, but also refers to shaking others’. Fang Lin is quite cunning,” Elder Zhou thought to himself.

Far away, Meng Wuyou and Mu Yan saw the outcome and were relieved, but they were also surprised at Fang Lin’s performance.

Whether it was the shaking three mountains or the Smoke like a Flood Dragon, both very rare, yet they appeared on Fang Lin. It added glamour to Fang Lin, making him stand out.

“This kid always surprises us,” Meng Wuyou laughed and said.

Mu Yan faintly smiled and said, “With the Shaking Three Mountains, I’m guessing that Fang Lin will receive lots of attention now. As for the head, who can guess what he’s thinking?”

Meng Wuyou’s smile faintly faded as he said, “The headmaster is very abstruse, but one thing is certain, he won’t let Fang Lin threaten that person’s position.”

Mu Yan nodded, choosing not to say anything more.

Elsewhere, Zhao Dengming and Wu Zhen stared at each other, both finding it hard to accept the situation.

“I never expected that Fang Lin was hiding so much. He even knows the ancient Shaking Three Mountain skill which has long been lost. We miscalculated this time,” said Wu Zhen with a grim expression.

Zhao Dengming frowned and said with a gloomy face, “We all know Fang Lin’s background. He comes from a small family, yet he possesses an ancient alchemy skill such as the Shaking Three Mountains. This matter does merit investigation.”

Wu Zhen nodded. The disciples outside might just be astonished at Fang Lin’s performance, but as elders, they saw more. The key point wasn’t Fang Lin and Lu Jiuhe’s competition. Instead, it was the Shaking Three Mountains technique Fang Lin mastered that deserved significant attention.

Far too many ancient alchemy skills have been lost. Nowadays, pill refiners only glimpse these old techniques within fragments of old texts.

Fang Lin has displayed the Shaking Three Mountains, one of the ancient alchemy methods. Though Fang Lin is still insignificant currently, the presence of this ancient alchemy skill already makes his importance outweigh any of the Pill Sect elders.

“Even if he knows how to shake three mountains, there’s still no room for him at the top,” Zhao Dengming suddenly said with a cold laugh.

Wu Zhen nodded. The Shaking Three Mountains is indeed stunning, but this is the Pill Sect. The Pill Sect’s headmaster is the true master here. To some extent, Fang Lin’s presence is already a threat to that person’s position.

Above the Pill Array, Lu Jiuhe came to senses. The moment he awakened, he lost himself looking at the contents of the Pill Furnace.

When he saw the black residue, he almost fainted again.

“How could this happen?” Lu Jiuhe, heartbroken, felt the world was crashing down. He couldn’t believe what was before his eyes and even slapped himself to check if he was dreaming.

After being dazed for quite a while, Lu Jiuhe reluctantly had to accept that he had failed at pill refining.

Elder Zhou coughed lightly and said, “Lu Jiuhe, according to the previous agreement, you should hand over the Hundred-year Ganoderma to Fang Lin.”

Upon hearing this, everyone sympathetically looked at Lu Jiuhe. His loss was huge. He not only lost face but also had to give away such an expensive Hundred-year Ganoderma. This time, Lu Jiuhe tripped and fell harder than he ever had in his whole life.
