Chapter 305: Perfect Completion

was completely darkened. Cloud Knife let go of his grip, leaning against the chair back as he panted heavily with sweat all over him. Shen Xiang only appeared slightly exhausted.“Heh heh, you lost!”...Chapter 305: Perfectly Clearing The Stage

Lady Li shouted, "When the sand inside this hourglass runs out, that's when your round ends. If you don't race against each other, it counts as automatic abandonment, and all of you are going to be eliminated."

Scenery checked the hourglass and estimated that it would take roughly half an hour for all of the sand to run out. Time was tight, as the candle burned slowly and required great care during combustion; any accidental overburning could destroy all of the ice inside.

Only alchemists in the high-level arena had lit fires, while some of the other contestants were hesitating. They didn't want to be eliminated before they even got the chance to compete.

With hundreds of cultivators dispersing their qi flames, the entire arena was like a steamer. Many people couldn't withstand it and sweated profusely, only those with sufficient strength could resist the heat.

Everyone was cautious as they burned the candles, some burning from the top, while others from the side. They were all releasing small flames and carefully heating them up.

Only Scenery's method was extraordinary, he released flames to completely surround the candles and the flame was so powerful that even the alchemists in his own arena were concerned. They admired Scenery's terrifying flames, but they believed he wouldn't harvest anything in the end.

Scenery observed the other two arenas and noticed that the heat levels of their candles were different, with the high-level arena having the highest level.

Hua Xiangyue was watching from the 20th floor of the Pill Fragrance Tower. She sat by a small window, sipping on aromatic tea and was quite relaxed. While watching Scenery's flames, she muttered to herself, "This kid never gets it right. Even with a fire soul, he's still burning like that, is he going to lose like this"

Cuimen walked in and sat next to her, also taking a sip of tea. She smiled and said, "Why don't we bet on it"

"Not happening. This kid's outcomes are too unpredictable," Hua Xiangyue said flirtatiously, touching Cuimen's face. "Sister Meng'er, you're definitely going to bet that your little lover wins, right"

Cuimen, usually graceful and dignified, became a young girl in front of Hua Xiangyue's teasing. Her face was shyly red and she said, "You're definitely jealous!"

Cuimen lied to Scenery that she returned to the Divine Tool Heavenly Realm, intending to avoid him entirely. She knew that if she was too close to Scenery now, their feelings would become deeper and possibly do something inappropriate someday. Moreover, she couldn't be distracted now; Scenery was the man of her two apprentices and she was always conflicted about this issue.

She needed to first overcome the涅槃劫 before she could resolve this complicated emotional situation, as there was a possibility of failure during the process. She didn't want Scenery to feel sad when she failed, and there could be a shadow of it on him especially during the涅槃劫.

"How long do you intend to keep hiding your secrets" Cuimen asked. She was obviously aware of some secrets that Hua Xiangyue knew, which Scenery also wanted to know.

"Until he surpasses me. Meng'er, maybe we'll become sisters someday, this kid's charm is too great that my heart is starting to sway. Hehe…" Hua Xiangyue smiled, rubbing Cuimen's face.

Scenery, who was competing, didn't realize that two beauties were talking about him. Although he appeared serious, he would occasionally glance at the sexy beauties soaked in sweat on the arena. Especially those with good bodies, he would often look at them for a longer time. This could give him more motivation to compete.

Each alchemist was completely focused on burning the candles, except for Scenery who was indifferent and only occasionally glanced at the sexy beauties. He did this because he found no challenge in the competition, as his ability to control fire required a higher level of skill compared to burning candles. The competition was like play for him.

Scenery locked the red ice crystals in his spiritual consciousness and manipulated the flames that were merged with him. The flames felt like a part of his body, allowing him to control them freely and naturally.

Scenery stood out among the three competitions because of his vigorous flames, which completely surrounded the candles. From afar, he was easily noticeable.

Suddenly, Scenery's flames disappeared before his eyes. The entire arena erupted in shock and gasps as the candle was gone, while floating red ice crystals of the same size as rice grains appeared in front of him. As Scenery controlled them, all these crystals fell into the specially designed ice box.

The candle was enveloped by Scenery's flames for a moment before disappearing, like magic. Then, many red ice crystals appeared, leaving all present in awe.

"One hundred pieces!" Lady Li walked over herself to count. She confirmed the number with her spiritual consciousness, also appearing surprised.

Scenery was the fastest to complete this competition and passed perfectly through the first round, which put a lot of pressure on other alchemists. Before they thought he was crazy, now they realized that their own stupidity was revealed and looked down on others!

Scenery remained seated in the arena, looking at the medium-level competition where his disciple Yahuai Sheng and friend Wu Qianqian were. Both of them were excellent alchemists from the Tao Wu Sect, especially Wu Qianqian whose progress was astonishing. Although she was still a third-stage alchemist, she could already refine True Energy Pills. Scenery guessed that she might reach fourth-grade within one or two years.

After learning to conceal the color of flames from Alchemy Elder, Wu Qianqian didn't reveal her blue flame. Her flames now made hundreds of old and young alchemists in the medium-level arena sweat, as her soul-flame was among the noblest of flames. The flames she released had a unique essence.

Scenery's flame was Heavenly Yang Flame, much higher than Wu Qianqian's. This wasn't nobility, it was the majestic aura of a king.

"She's truly the most beautiful girl in the Tao Wu Sect, her figure is on par with Meng'er姐、Hua Xiangyue姐、Yu You姐 and Mei Ya姐. Furthermore, she's already 30-something years old, her mature charm is incomparable…" Scenery looked at Wu Qianqian's slender figure and fantasized.

Unexpectedly, just when Scenery finished, Wu Qianqian displayed the same skill as him, making the candle disappear and extracting a hundred red ice crystals. She passed perfectly through this round as well. Both of them were disciples from the Tao Wu Sect!

As soon as Wu Qianqian completed, she looked at Scenery. She playfully stuck out her tongue at him and showed a sweet smile, very beautiful.

Seeing Wu Qianqian's flirtation with Scenery, Changyun felt his heart bleed. Although he had played around with many beautiful women before, they only cared for their appearance and physique and were only attracted to him because of his wealth. This gave him no sense of conquest.

The high-class beauties like Xueshanxian and Wu Qianqian were the most alluring to these young men's hearts.
