Yun Lintian didn't waste his time. After entering the room, he quickly set the fire and threw all the ingredients into the given cauldron directly.
His action instantly startled all the alchemists in the scene.
"Hahaha! What a ridiculous way of refining ingredients! Did he think he was the Pill Emperor or something?" Lou Ping laughed out loud.
In his opinion, Yun Lintian was simply looking to embarrass himself. It was impossible for him to remove the impurity of the ingredients in one go like that.
Zhi Wei frowned slightly when he saw this scene. As a president, his skill was naturally high, but even so, he didn't dare to refine all the ingredients altogether like this… Could it be his judgment was wrong?
Under everyone's doubtful gaze, Yun Lintian suddenly slapped the cauldron rhythmically, and black powder could be seen flying out every time his hand touched the cauldron.
"Impossible!" Lou Ping's expression changed drastically. He naturally knew what the black powder represented. It was the impurity of the ingredients.
Soon, the entire area was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance. Obviously, the ingredients inside the cauldron had been fully refined.
Yun Lintian opened a box nearby and picked a scarlet fruit before throwing it into the cauldron. This fruit was the main ingredient of the Soaring Phoenix Pill—Phoenix Fruit.
Yun Lintian's aura abruptly surged, and the flame beneath the cauldron blazed out, engulfing the entire cauldron and Yun Lintian.
"What!?" All the alchemists exclaimed in shock at the scary scene. As an alchemist, they could deal with the heat to a certain degree, but it was impossible to do as Yun Lintian did.
When they saw the flame engulfing Yun Lintian, they immediately thought Yun Lintian would become ashes. Now, Yun Lintian was obviously safe and sound. They didn't know what to say anymore.
Zhi Wei was surprised to see this. He didn't expect Yun Lintian's affinity with the fire element to reach such a terrifying degree. It was beyond anyone he had ever met.
Scree—
All of a sudden, the flame around the cauldron and Yun Lintian exploded and formed a phoenix image, letting out a deafening cry.
While everyone was bewildered by the appearance of the phoenix, Yun Lintian glanced at it and said calmly. "Get down."
In that instant, the phoenix flew back into the cauldron, and the flame immediately disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Yun Lintian then opened the lid and took ten scarlet pills out of the cauldron before storing them in the box.
He channeled his divine energy to clean the dirt on his body and walked out of the room.
"Please check it." Yun Lintian calmly handed the box to Zhi Wei.
Zhi Wei took a deep breath and opened the box. Instantly, the entire floor was heating up as if it was engulfed by a scorching flame.
"The best-graded Soaring Phoenix Pill!" The old man, Lou Ping's master, exclaimed in shock.
Originally, he planned to play tricks to make Yun Lintian fail to refine the pill. However, he was fascinated by Yun Lintian's unique and powerful refining technique and forgot about it completely.
"This…" The other alchemists returned to their senses and looked at Yun Lintian as if they were looking at a monster.
Zhi Wei took a deep breath and closed the box. "It is indeed the best graded Soaring Phoenix Pill… Welcome to the association, Young Master Lin."
"Thank you." Yun Lintian replied with a faint smile.
Zhi Wei swept his gaze on everyone present and asked. "I will appoint Young Master Lin as a vice president of this branch. Is there any objection?"
"No, no. We have no objection." The alchemists hurriedly said.
"President Zhi, don't you think it's too fast?" Lou Ping asked unwillingly. He had been coveting this position for many years, yet it was snatched away just like that. How could he be willing?
"Young Master Lou, I don't know why you are prejudiced against Young Master Lin. I must remind you that we always speak with strength here. As long as you can refine the best-graded Divine Tribulation rank pill, I will also give you this position." Zhi Wei said calmly, but one could see a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Lou Ping immediately shut up when he heard this. Even if he was angry, he didn't dare to go against Zhi Wei openly. One had to know that Zhi Wei's uncle was an elder of the Divine Alchemy Association's main branch. It wasn't something his Lou Clan could afford.
Yun Lintian looked at Lou Ping and asked. "Can you explain to me, Young Master Lou? Why did you show hostility to me? I don't remember I have offended you before."
Lou Ping snorted coldly. "It was because you had angered Sister Ye. I wanted to teach you a lesson."
"Sister Ye? You mean Young Miss Ye Jingran?" Yun Lintian asked strangely.
"Who else?" Lou Ping said in dissatisfaction.
Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "I didn't know before that Young Miss Ye would get angry because I had rejected her invitation."
He looked at Lou Ping and said. "Please tell her that I will visit her later to give her an apology."
"Hmph!" Lou Ping snorted coldly and walked away without looking back.
Zhi Wei suddenly said. "I'll let someone delivery Young Master Lin an identity token in a while."
"Thank you." Yun Lintian said.
"I wonder if Vice President Lin has a plan to participate in the upcoming competition?"" The old man asked. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jin Xu. I am a Divine Origin rank alchemist."
Hearing this, Zhi Wei added. "Although the association takes a neutral stance, we won't prevent our members from participating in such an event. It would be even better if they could win the competition."
Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "I have no plan currently."
"What a pity. With Vice President Lin's strength, winning the competition is no different from drinking water." The old man, Jin Xu, said regretfully.
He cupped his fists and said. "This old man will leave first. I hope Vice President Lin can give me a pointer later."
"Definitely." Yun Lintian replied politely and watched as the other alchemists left.
He turned to Zhi Wei and asked. "President Zhi, do you have a way of anonymously selling a pill to the Mystic Auction House?"
