There was only silence that met Elder Fu's words.

There was no one that could believe what Elder Fu had just said because it was just too ridiculous.

A Pill Line Pill!

Even if Lin Fan was talented, no one believed that he was able to refine a Pill Line Pill at his age!

Not to mention that he had used the most common ingredients and the most common refining method!

If he was able to make a Pill Line Pill in these conditions, that meant that his abilities might even surpass the elders…No, his abilities might even surpass the Alchemy Master!

What kind of a monster would he be if that was the case!

So everyone was waiting for the other elders to refute Elder Fu, but not a single one of the elders said a thing. They all just looked at the pill on the table before looking at Lin Fan with looks of shock.

Based on this reaction from them, it was clear that this wasn't a mistake, but it was true.

There were no words to describe this situation as everyone was just filled with pure shock.

That was just how much meaning the concept of a Pill Line Alchemist had.

Not even all the elders of the Alchemy King Hall were Pill Line Alchemists and even if they were Pill Line Alchemists, their success rate was incredibly low. The only one that had a consistent success rate when it came to Pill Line Pills was the Alchemy Master.

For Lin Fan to do something like this, it would mean that his skills were close to approaching the same level as the Alchemy Master!

Lin Fan just gave a chuckle and said, "I was just lucky."

Everyone was once again shocked by this, but they also immediately jumped onto it since this was the only way that they could accept something as shocking as this.

"That's right, he was just lucky!"

"Right, how else could he have refined that Pill Line Pill?"

"Do you think that he's the Alchemy Master? How else could he have done it if it wasn't luck?"

These kinds of voices filled the crowd, not even bothering keeping their voices down so that Lin Fan wouldn't hear it. It was almost as if they were trying to use saying it out loud to convince themselves. It was like the more that they said it, the more likely that it would be the truth.

Even the elders started talking amongst themselves, saying that Lin Fan was just lucky enough to be able to refine a Pill Line Pill, but they were less certain because their alchemy knowledge was greater than the crowd. They knew that luck wasn't enough to make a Pill Line Pill…

But Elder Fu ignored all of that as he said while laughing, "Whether it was luck or not, that doesn't change the fact that Lin Fan had refined the best pill, so he will be the one taking the throne now."

Ugly expressions appeared on the faces of the judges and the other elders, but especially the faces of the elder disciples.

After all, what Lin Fan was doing now was clearly going against the promise that he made to them. It wasn't about whether he won or not, but rather the blow to their prestige if anyone ever learned that Lin Fan had fooled them like this.

Young master Aotian however was angry for a completely different reason.

After all, he wasn't trying to get engaged to Song Shu just because he wanted power, but rather he truly loved her. Now that the woman that he loved had been taken away by someone else like this, how could he accept it as a man?

He completely lost his temper and pulled out his sword as he jumped at Lin Fan, swinging the sword down at his head while shouting, "Lin Fan! You son of a b*tch, how dare you lie to me like this!"

He didn't even bother saying any polite words to Lin Fan, he didn't even call Lin Fan "Brother Lin" anymore, he just called Lin Fan directly by name and cursed while swinging his weapon at him.

However, Lin Fan didn't have to do a thing as Elder Fu acted before he could.

Elder Fu reached his hand and there was a hand made of flames that grabbed young master Aotian right out of the air, before throwing him onto the ground.

The sixteenth elder on the side slightly knitted his brows when he saw this, but he didn't say anything as he knew that Elder Fu was justified in doing this.

After throwing young master Aotian to the ground, Elder Fu said, "What are you doing?!"

Young master Aotian still glared at Lin Fan with eyes filled with rage, but he still answered Elder Fu, "Grand elder, this is a personal grudge between me and Lin Fan, this has nothing to do with the contest. I ask that you do not interfere!"

Elder Fu just gave a cold snort after hearing this before saying, "Is that so? That's not what it seems like right now."

The sixteenth elder spoke up at this time and said, "Aotian, not here. Just let it go for now."

Young master Aotian still looked aggrieved, but he knew that this wasn't a good situation for him. Instead of dragging this out in a public place like this, it was better to settle this in private.

But the thought of Song Shu being engaged to this man drove him crazy.

However, it wasn't just him alone who couldn't accept these results.

The other elders all had their own plans for who would marry Song Shu and now that someone had just come out of nowhere to wreck their plans, naturally they couldn't accept it.

So before Elder Fu could say anything else, one of the elders came forward to say, "Elder Fu, this contest was supposed to be a contest of refining skills and not luck. So we're just saying that letting it end like this seems a bit…"

This elder didn't finish their sentence, but the meaning of his words were clear.

They wanted to hold a do over or at least they wanted to give the others another chance since they didn't believe that Lin Fan deserved this victory.

At this point, they had already firmly brainwashed themselves to think that Lin Fan refining the Pill Line Pill was nothing more than a fluke.

Elder Fu narrowed his eyes to look at this elder before saying, "So you're saying that Lin Fan doesn't deserve the victory?"

The elder quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not, of course not, young master Lin is truly lucky to refine a Pill Line Pill and providence is naturally the sign of a great talent, however this doesn't seem to really demonstrate his skills…"

The elder didn't mince his words at all, he just changed Lin Fan's feat of refining the Pill Line Pill to being just luck.

However, before Elder Fu could say anything, the other elders came forward to try to convince him as well.

After all, this was related to their future influence in the Alchemy King Hall, they weren't willing to give this up that easily.

They finally found a period where the Alchemy Master was away and if they didn't seize this chance to gain more power, it would be a waste to them.

Elder Fu looked at these elders with a look of disgust that couldn't be hidden, but then he pointed at them and said, "So you're saying that all of your disciples relied on their own skills to refine their pills?"

The elders looked at each other as if they didn't understand what Elder Fu meant by this, but then they nodded in agreement to this.

Elder Fu turned to the sixth elder and asked, "So where did little Hu's Roaring Bellows Flames come from?"

The sixth elder revealed an awkward look.

Elder Fu didn't care as he turned to the second elder and asked, "Where did little Ying's Cleansing Herb come from?"

Then he turned to the first elder and asked, "Where did little Jin's East and West Flames come from?"

Finally, he turned to the sixteenth elder and said, "Don't think that I couldn't tell. Where did little Aotian get the Sixteen Revolution Refining Technique from?"

Once he had finished calling out all the elders, Elder Fu swept over them with disapproving eyes as he said, "So you're saying that all of your disciples made their pills with their own skills?"

All of the elders had awkward looks on their faces as they had never expected Elder Fu to call them all out like this.

But their brains also started turning when they heard this.

It seemed like this old man really was planning on backing Lin Fan all the way…If only this old geezer had waited a few more days, their plan would have been ready and they could have forcefully manipulated the results of this contest…

But right now, the most important thing was to force Elder Fu to nullify the results of this contest and rehold it again.

As long as the contest was held again, they were confident that their disciples would win against Lin Fan.

So while they were silent, they sent messages to the elders in the other factions.

As long as their various factions came together, they would have enough influence to even pressure Elder Fu.

But before they could say anything, Lin Fan suddenly gave a cough and said, "I think that there's someone else that you should speak to first."

Everyone was surprised to hear Lin Fan speaking at this time, but what they were more surprised by was the person that suddenly landed.
