Chapter 502.1
Chapter 502 “Five Very Different Reincarnation Pill (1)”
Two hour remains of the civil selection contest .
“Mistress, something isn’t right about these charcoals . ” Sounding faintly unwell in her voice, the one calling out was Little Crow who’s charged with overseeing the flames .
The girl had just added a couple of pieces to the dying flame . Yet, instead of coming back to life, the fire grew dimmer as a result of her actions . Then with a touch, that’s when she realizes the bottom of the coals were slightly damp and wet!
“What are we going to do, should I go and ask the other teams to borrow theirs instead?” Remorseful and guilty, she dejectedly asks .
Oh what have I done… . Mistress already told me to check the charcoals beforehand, but I ended up messing that up by only looking through the top two layers and forgetting the bottom one .
“No one is going to pay any attention to us at this point, nor would the members of the Dan Palace . Since they are willing to go this far then it could only mean they are not afraid of us exposing them . ” Turning sharp in the eyes, Ling Yue promptly shot a glare over to the VIP seats currently housing the Sacred Maiden .
The sudden change in the girl’s expression wouldn’t go unnoticed by the interested parties of course . First to see the abnormality was Feng Shen, causing the boy to furrow his brow . Then afterwards it was Xia Hou Qi of Da Xia who cared greatly for his crush as well .
It’s been some time since the prince started learning under the dwarf . No matter how inept he was over concocting Dan pills, he still had a good understanding of how the process should go . Right now, the fragrance that once filled the hall has dissipated from Ling Yue’s cauldron, signaling something has gone awry .
“The fire’s about to go! The fire under that cauldron is about to go out!” A bystander calls out upon notice .
There’s only two hours before the end of the contest, a crucial time for any contestant . To have the flames die out now could only mean one thing, and everyone knows it .
In an instant, whispers and gossiping voices could be heard across the field regarding the situation, this also included Elder Wei Bo from his judges’ panel .
This Ye Ling Yue has a lot of talent and potential in alchemy, but her luck is too unfortunate .
“Mistress?” Tears were ready to leak out of Little Crow’s eye .
“Ho~ What are you crying for you silly . If it was Little Squeak here instead, he would be turning around to spit at those responsible . Come, do your boss here a favor and lend me your flames . ” Rubbing the little girl’s hair to help elevate the mood, Ling Yue then readily tosses one of the coal pieces into the cindering pile of used wood .
After her initial stupor at the act, the little ‘phoenix’ then realizes what her mistress meant and why she would be chosen over Lan Caier for the occasion .
“I won’t disappoint you Mistress!” That said, a flush of red swiftly overtakes the little girl’s cheek as her excitement exploded .
Swoosh~
The little girl huffs heavily, blowing a gush of hot air in the general direction of the cauldron and causing a giant plume of searing heat to ignite from underneath the container . Not only was the burn hotter than anything until now, in a matter of seconds, a real phoenix made up of fire actually materialized into existence . Then following a beautiful rainbow glow and a jittery bird call from this mysterious creature, the flaming existence promptly made a swooping loop into the air before diving right into Ling Yue’s cauldron where she’s currently working on the pill .
In a matter of seconds, the field was once again hit with an overwhelming level of fragrance, sending the audience into an uproar with their grandiose move .
Though no one present could tell why a ‘fire phoenix’ would just suddenly appear from the fire, but it didn’t hurt the girls and brought them to everyone’s attention .
Before long, the burn on the last incense stick had come to an end as well, thus drawing the curtain to this three-day long contest .
