The four-colored pill pattern energy has been fully formed, dividing the world into four parts. The next step is to gather all the pill pattern energy into the pill, which will then truly complete the pill.
However, just as Ouyang Yan was concentrating and using her last bit of mental energy to try to gather all the pill energy into the furnace, a problem still arose.
At the critical moment, she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her mental energy was exhausted, and the alchemical fire suddenly went out of control. The alchemical furnace emitted a violent "cooing" sound and vibrated violently.
The alchemy furnace is about to explode!
This thought flashed through everyone's mind.
Ouyang Yan had completely lost control of the alchemy furnace, his body collapsing weakly to the side, filled with resentment. He was so close, so very close, to successfully refining the four-colored marrow-cleansing pill.
I really can't accept it...
Seeing this, Sun Rong couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"I knew you couldn't refine a four-colored marrow cleansing pill. I won this trial!"
She had already imagined what it would be like to become a core disciple, where she would not only receive strong support from the sect, but her status within the sect would also be greatly enhanced.
Thinking of this, Sun Rong's joy was almost overflowing.
Everyone thought Ouyang Yan had failed. The pill furnace exploded, and regardless of whether she had refined four-colored pill patterns or colorless pill patterns before, the result was the same—the failed pill was not even as good as a pill with one-colored pill patterns!
But at that moment, Ouyang Yan's consciousness had already become blurred.
Suddenly, she felt an extremely pure power surge within her body, instantly waking her up and even restoring her to her original state. She quickly steadied herself and supported her body as she was about to fall.
At this moment, the alchemy furnace was still making a "cooing" sound, but because the transmission of the alchemical fire was cut off, the furnace did not explode immediately.
There's still a chance to salvage it!
Without any hesitation, Ouyang Yan quickly reached out to control the alchemical fire again, while her abundant spiritual power covered the entire alchemical furnace. The furnace, which was already teetering on the verge of exploding, was forcibly stabilized by her.
Everyone watching was stunned by what they saw.
"What happened? Did I miss something?"
"Why... did Senior Sister Ouyang suddenly become so erect? Am I seeing things?"
"They actually managed to save him?!"
No one could believe their eyes.
Even though Ouyang Yan had collapsed from exhaustion, she suddenly stood up again, her energy fully restored, which was very strange.
They had never seen anything like this before.
Even the elders in charge outside the arena were present—of course, it was impossible for an inner disciple to be promoted to a core disciple without the presence of elders.
It's just that Bai Hao isn't easily seen here because of the crowd.
Even Gu Changsheng, as the sect leader, should have been present for this trial.
"What's going on? Have any of the elders discovered anything?"
On the elders' platform, the three elders looked at each other and shared their opinions in hushed tones.
"I don't know what just happened, but I can feel as if a spiritual force suddenly entered Ouyang Yan's body."
“But we are all here, and that power was clearly not given by one of us.”
These elders were all at the Knowledge and Action Realm, and were quite capable. However, even they could only sense that someone had suddenly injected power into Ouyang Yan, but they couldn't figure out who did it, even with their level of cultivation!
"Could it be the sect leader?" one of the elders guessed.
"No, the sect leader is still in seclusion, and he wouldn't do such a thing. A trial is a trial, and he won't show favoritism to any particular disciple," another elder said.
As the sect leader, Gu Changsheng would certainly not do something so biased.
If it's not Gu Changsheng, then who could it be?
...
On the field, Ouyang Yan was almost fully recovered and in top form. Although Da Nan Road was almost destroyed, Ouyang Yan managed to pull the situation back with her strong willpower.
The alchemy furnace gradually returned to calm, and all the four-colored alchemical patterns were absorbed into the furnace, emitting a soft "humming" sound.
The elixir is about to be made!
In the final step, Ouyang Yan unleashed all her spiritual power in one go. The lid of the alchemy furnace opened automatically, first releasing a dazzling burst of four-colored light, followed by a rich medicinal fragrance that completely overwhelmed the aroma of everyone else's pills, including Sun Rong's Purple Qi Pill.
A pale green pill, no bigger than a little finger, slowly floated up from the alchemy furnace. On the pill, red, yellow, purple, and blue patterns were clearly visible.
The four-colored marrow-cleansing pill has been successfully refined!
At this moment, everyone was filled with amazement and shock.
A grade three pill with four-colored patterns—this is a pill that only core disciples can refine. Now that Ouyang Yan has actually succeeded in refining it, her alchemy skills and aptitude are terrifying!
At this moment, Sun Rong, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore. She stood up and pointed at Ouyang Yan, questioning, "Impossible! You had clearly exhausted your spiritual energy just now, and the alchemy furnace was about to explode. How did you manage to recover your spiritual energy and even pull the alchemy furnace back? With your spiritual energy, you couldn't possibly have done that!"
She couldn't accept it. She was about to win, but Ouyang Yan turned the tide and successfully refined the four-colored marrow cleansing pill, taking away the victory that should have been hers.
She can't accept it!
Ouyang Yan must have used some underhanded methods!
"You must have secretly taken the Rejuvenation Pill!"
Sun Rong accused.
It is common for disciples of the Dan Sect to take pills, but the rules for competitions between disciples of the Dan Sect stipulate that they cannot take pills and must rely entirely on their own spiritual power.
Ouyang Yan's sudden recovery must have been due to taking a Rejuvenation Pill or a Bone-Growing Pill!
“Senior Sister Sun, everything must be based on evidence. There are so many people here, including the elders. Everyone can see whether I have taken any pills or not.” Although Ouyang Yan disliked fighting, she could not accept Sun Rong’s slander.
Indeed, she didn't know why she had suddenly recovered, but she definitely hadn't taken any pills.
How could she possibly make such a basic mistake?
“Then let the elders decide!” Sun Rong wouldn’t be foolish enough to confront Ouyang Yan on the spot, so she brought out the elders.
Moreover, Ouyang Yan's final change was indeed very strange. Everyone here is a pill refiner, and it's impossible for someone to unleash such strong power to complete the pill after exhausting their spiritual energy.
There are many unanswered questions here, so much so that although Sun Rong's questioning was somewhat overly emotional, most people are currently supporting her.
Whether Ouyang Yan has any problems or not is hard for them to say; it's up to the elders present to judge and decide.
