Ten seconds!

And the Spirit Pill was completed. This kind of speed... was basically fast beyond words to describe.

Is this a joke?!

Has the spiritual herb inside the pill cauldron even melted yet?

Have the medicinal properties even come out yet?

Ten seconds?!

What can you do in ten seconds? It’s quite possible that your natal fire cannot even warm up the pill cauldron in ten seconds! Yet somehow, the cauldron in Maxwell’s hand gave off a series of exploding sounds. This was clearly the sound of one’s cauldron exploding, a telltale sign of failure so how can it succeed?

"Kid, are you telling jokes right now?"

"Hahaha... hahaha... I can’t stop laughing. When I look at him, I want to laugh even more. I really can’t stop myself. Where did this idiot come from? This is too funny! Concocting a Spirit Pill in ten seconds... are you trying to mess with us?"

"I think he’s just here to cause trouble. Grand Elder, people like him should be immediately kicked off the mountain. Allowing him to stay any longer will affect the reputation of our Gold Immortal Sect."

No one believed in it!

Even an Alchemy Grandmaster like Venerable Thomas wouldn’t be able to concoct the Spirit Pill in ten seconds.

This has never happened in the history of the Gold Immortal Sect.

This was absolutely impossible to accomplish.

Venerable Bjorn’s face was filled with anger as he reprimanded: "Maxwell, I keep giving you chances but you keep causing mischief. My patience is limited, so you better scram down the mountain for me. If you dare stay half a second longer, don’t blame my Gold Immortal Sect for treating you impolitely."

He thought Maxwell was fooling around.

Almost everyone thought Maxwell was fooling around.

Concocting a Spirit Pill in ten seconds? Anyone that had some knowledge in refining and concocting pills knew this was impossible.

Venerable Thomas smiled in disdain and said: "This kid has been causing trouble all this time so we should teach him a lesson."

William started laughing in mockery. He just kept laughing while pointing at Maxwell, "Hey trash! Just based on your status, you think you’ve succeeded in concocting a pill in ten seconds? Do you even know how to concoct pills? You really think it’s fine to just throw a spiritual herb inside a pill cauldron and everything will work out by itself? You are really too trashy. Competing with you in concocting pills is a complete insult to me."

Maxwell’s face showed no emotions and he didn’t say a thing.

At this time...

Viktor walked over with a frown. He walked up close to Maxwell and softly said: "Little brother, don’t be reckless. This is the Gold Immortal Sect. If you cause any problems..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Viktor’s expression froze.

His eyes widened as he stared unblinkingly at the black medicinal pill inside Maxwell’s cauldron. His body trembled while he started stuttering: "This, this, how can this be possible? It actually, actually, was concocted successfully?"

Viktor’s voice wasn’t very loud but many people still heard it.

The voices from the crowd immediately became silent.

Venerable Bjorn’s focus fell to the side of Maxwell. He looked at the black pill inside the pill cauldron before looking over at Maxwell. Venerable Bjorn’s face looked calm but his heart was shocked to a complete mess.

"Thomas, go over and see if it’s really a Spirit Pill!"

Venerable Thomas was stunned but his figure still moved and landed next to Maxwell. Once he saw the medicinal pill inside the cauldron, no one experienced as much fear and shock as him.

Immediately after...

Venerable Thomas cleared his throat as he tried to stabilize the shock in his heart. He then said with disdain: "Kid, alchemy requires one to pay attention to duration, degree of heat, and medicinal properties. Do you think it’s good just to be fast? It’s impossible for a spiritual herb to properly release its medicinal properties just by being fast. Your medicinal pill most likely doesn’t even contain 10% of its medicinal properties."

William’s ugly expression slowly changed as he immediately handed his pill over to Venerable Thomas. He then said: "Kid, we’re not competing on speed but on medicinal properties. We don’t even know if this medicinal pill is something you concocted yourself. Who knows if it’s a Spirit Pill that you’ve prepared early on and just placed it inside the cauldron?"

Maxwell continued ignoring William like before and said to the Grand Elder: "Wasn’t this supposed to be judged by Elder Viktor? I thought we just talked about it. This is being too disrespectful. If one doesn’t even have morals, one shouldn’t even be concocting pills in the first place. They should just go home and drink their mommy’s milk."

"Who are you talking about?!" retorted William in anger.

Maxwell coldly flicked a glance over and said: "I’m talking about you!"

"You..."

"You..." William was so angry that he couldn’t even speak. His jaws were clenched to the point of making cracking sounds before saying: "You’ll be just like a dog crawling under my legs soon, hahaha..."

Venerable Bjorn’s gaze shifted as he said: "Give your medicinal pill to Elder Viktor so it can be appraised."

Venerable Thomas had a faintly unhappy expression on his face. He was the number one alchemist in the Gold Immortal Sect yet they were having an outer sect Elder whose alchemy level was lower than his disciple to be the judge. And this person happened to be Viktor which made him rather annoyed.

But of course, he didn’t show that on his face.

Viktor received the medicinal pill from William. He closed his eyes and his countenance turned extremely calm. He sent his senses into the medicinal pill and said: "The medicinal properties of the Sky Energy Grass have reached 95%, the Spirit Bath Flower has released 95% of its medicinal properties... the pill’s effect has reached 95% and has reached the micro-fine level."

"Hahaha..."

"It’s 95%, just a little bit off from becoming a perfect medicinal pill."

"Senior William will definitely win."

"We’re just waiting to see that kid crawl under senior William’s legs."

"Senior William, you have to fiercely humiliate this country bumpkin that doesn’t know the immensity of the heavens and the earth."

William smiled smugly before looking at Maxwell and saying: "Kid, it’s your turn."

No one had any objections to Viktor’s evaluation.

It was the same with Venerable Thomas.

Because everything Viktor said was accurate.

Maxwell handed over the medicinal pill and said: "Elder, please evaluate this carefully with your senses."

Viktor had a calm look on his face. Once he received the medicinal pill, he sent his senses into it. After several seconds, he couldn’t sense anything. His brows formed a frown while he glanced over at Maxwell. He didn’t know what Maxwell was up to because he felt this wasn’t even a medicinal pill.

But...

He followed Maxwell’s words and focused his mental spirit, sending his senses into the pill.

Suddenly...

His senses finally sensed an explosive energy surging out. This energy had exploded forth instantaneously just like a volcano. The power surging forth made the beholder completely shocked! Viktor’s eyes open round and wide while his body started shaking from shock. "This... this... the medicinal properties of the Sky Energy Grass have reached 120% and the medicinal pill’s effect has exceeded 120%. The energy is clear and powerful without any impurities. This is a completely perfect medicinal pill. This..."

This was too shocking!

At this moment, his mind felt like it was about to explode.

Maxwell grinned and asked: "Elder, is the medicinal pill I concocted a little better than the one he concocted?"

Viktor didn’t hesitate and replied: "It’s not just a little better; it’s basically better by several levels and cannot be compared with each other."

Hearing those words...

Maxwell smiled evilly. He rushed forth at almost instantaneous speeds and ruthlessly slapped William three times.

His strength was fierce, his speed fast, and his action extremely handsome looking!

No one had time to react!
