Five hundred and one Candle Dragon Elixirs!

It was not a tie, but a breakthrough.

The alchemy records of Dan Capital, spanning hundreds of years, were finally broken by a Sixth-rank Alchemist.

"May I ask, does anyone still have doubts about my position as Master Alchemist?" Ye Lingyue raised her eyes, looking around with a commanding air.

Those alchemists touched by her gaze, without exception, all lowered their heads in guilt.

At this moment, these alchemists didn't even dare to let out a fart.

"Master Wang Zhangding, do you have any objections? Or do you wish to compete with me?" Ye Lingyue finally set her gaze on Wang Zhangding and asked provocatively.

A wave of anger surged in Wang Zhangding's heart.

"Indeed, I too wish to challenge the Blood Cauldron and compete with Master Ye." Wang Zhangding, after witnessing Ye Lingyue's mystifying alchemy skills, felt shocked but also dissatisfied.

The Blood Cauldron consuming people, it's unexpected that a Sixth-rank Alchemist could control it.

Since that's the case, why not give it a try? Maybe there's still a chance to secure the position of Master Alchemist.

Wang Zhangding believed his spiritual power was no less inferior to that of a Sixth-rank Alchemist. Since Ye Lingyue could do it, there was no reason he couldn't.

Seeing Wang Zhangding ignoring everyone's advice and insisting on using the Blood Cauldron to refine the Candle Dragon Elixirs, Ye Lingyue didn't bother to stop him and ordered people to prepare the Elixir Pills for him.

In just half an hour, all the medicinal materials were ready.

Wang Zhangding tried to mimic her, attempting to control the alchemy furnace and purify the materials using his spiritual power.

However, he immediately discovered that multitasking, which seemed easy, was actually very difficult to manage.

Several times, because he had to prevent the Elixir Fire under the Blood Cauldron from extinguishing, the materials Wang Zhangding was purifying turned straight into charred remains.

It took Ye Lingyue only four hours to purify fifty or sixty kinds of materials, but it took Wang Zhangding five to six hours to barely complete the task.

By the latter half, Wang Zhangding was completely out of spiritual power, and he still struggled to muster the last bit of his energy, hoping to achieve a grand spectacle of refining elixirs with multiple cauldrons at once. Unfortunately, just as he tried to distribute the Elixir Fire, the flame under the Blood Cauldron suddenly extinguished.

The Candle Dragon Elixirs, halfway through refining, failed to form and all turned into wasted elixirs.

"Master Wang Zhangding, you have nothing to say now, right? Not to mention five hundred, not even a single Candle Dragon Elixir was produced." Ye Lingyue looked at the wasted Candle Dragon Elixirs in the Blood Cauldron with regret.

Although these materials were public property, such waste was truly devastating.

"Impossible, this absolutely cannot be." Wang Zhangding clearly couldn't accept this reality. He murmured as if in a dream and walked over to examine the wasted elixirs.

Just then, the Blood Cauldron suddenly emitted a strange force, and Wang Zhangding was abruptly sucked into it.

With a rumble, the originally extinguished Elixir Fire suddenly burst into flames.

"Quick, save him!"

The alchemists shouted, but who would dare to risk their lives at this moment to approach the bizarre Blood Cauldron.

Wang Zhangding's screams were relentless, gradually, his cries for help disappeared.

There was no more movement from the power of the Blood Cauldron, only a trickle of blood seeped out from the surface of the cauldron.

In the end, Cauldron Master Wang was actually refined alive.

"Blood Cauldron really devoured a person."

"It must be that Cauldron Master Wang failed in his alchemy and enraged the Blood Cauldron."

Having witnessed this scene, all the alchemists were dumbstruck, and they then fully believed that only Ye Lingyue was the true new Master Alchemist chosen by the Blood Cauldron of Dan City.

"Greetings to Cauldron Master Ye."

Nearly a hundred alchemists, without exception, all knelt on the ground. After the incident with the Blood Cauldron, no one dared to doubt whether Ye Lingyue was qualified to be the new Master Alchemist.

Cauldron Master Wang's child servant also hurriedly handed over a jade token, the symbol of the Cauldron Master's identity, to Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue glanced at the mysterious Blood Cauldron, said no more, but a cunning light flashed in her eyes.

As the news spread, within the Dan Capital General Mansion.

"What? You say Cauldron Master Wang, due to careless alchemy, was devoured by the Blood Cauldron, and burned alive?"

General Su took a long time to come to his senses upon hearing this news, which even shocked him more than seeing the Elixir Candle Dragon.

"Reporting to the General, indeed, all the alchemists present witnessed it. Cauldron Master Wang was sucked into the Blood Cauldron himself. His screams, everyone heard them very clearly, the situation was indeed terrifying," said the staff member, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

General Su sat on the General's chair, his expression changing.

He thought he had come across someone easy to slaughter, but who knew, it turned out to be a thorny problem.

On the first day of her position, she directly disposed of Cauldron Master Wang.

This Cauldron Master Ye, I don't know if it's her being sinister or just Wang's bad luck.

Only then did General Su realize he had underestimated Ye Lingyue.

"General, this Cauldron Master Ye might be even harder to control than the previous Master Alchemist, what do you think?" the staff member asked softly.

"Why worry? We managed to remove the previous disobedient Master Alchemists, naturally, we can remove her too. Let's just wait and see what tricks this little girl can pull off," General Su said unhurriedly.

There's plenty of time in the future, and now is a time when Dan City needs people, so just spare her life for now.

In just a day and a night, the alchemists who were united in trying to ostracize Ye Lingyue all changed their attitude, recognizing her as the new Master Alchemist.

When Lan Cai'er returned, Ye Lingyue had already checked the alchemy logs of the previous Master Alchemists at the Alchemist Mansion.

Earlier, Lan Cai'er had followed Ye Lingyue's instructions, taking a tour around Dan City.

"Dear sister, I just came back and heard about it. That Cauldron Master Wang was driven by you to jump into the Blood Cauldron and commit suicide?"

Lan Cai'er, true to her inquisitive nature, leaned in close to Ye Lingyue.

"Where did you hear such a messy rumor? Cauldron Master Wang carelessly got absorbed by the Blood Cauldron due to a backlash of his own spiritual power, it has nothing to do with me," Ye Lingyue said casually.

"Really, it has nothing to do with you?" Lan Cai'er was incredulous.

"Alright, I did tamper a little bit. I had refined that Blood Cauldron during the alchemy process, and I only left a trace of my spiritual power on it. That Wang, unaware of the danger, was backlashed by my spiritual power, costing him his life," Ye Lingyue also discovered during the process of refining the Candle Dragon Elixir, that there was a not-so-weak trace of spiritual power left on the Blood Cauldron by a predecessor.

That trace of spiritual power, if she wasn't mistaken, was accidentally left by one of the previous Master Alchemists.

Any aspiring Master Alchemist who couldn't suppress that trace of spiritual power would indeed be prone to a backlash of spiritual power, resulting in a tragedy.
