The Invincible Corruption Manual

"Right!" the previous cultivator replied.

"So, Huang Xiaoming will be the champion of this term\'s Open Alchemy Contest." He added.

"Stop bullshitting yourself! This term\'s champion will be Miss Lǔ Sù, the genius Alchemy of the Seven Stars Sect." A man nearby retorted.

"Miss Lǔ Sù! " He shouted.

"Lǔ Sù! Lǔ Sù! Lǔ Sù!..." Then, all her fans in the crowd started cheering for her.

Similarly, most of the cultivators in the crowd started cheering for the four of them inside the test rooms, except for Joey.

"Brother Joey, you can do it!" Hai Yun shouted loudly, using her essence qi. Everyone in the crowd stopped and turned their attention toward her.

"Wow! Who is this, lass? So, beautiful." A male cultivator among them exclaimed. His girlfriend, who was standing beside him, nudged at his stomach.

"Ouch! That hurt. What is that for?" He moaned in pain and asked at her.

"Hmph!" His girlfriend snorted and turned around, ignoring him.

Every male cultivator of all ages around there admired Hai Yun\'s beauty in their mind while looking at her.

"Look! Huang Xiaoming has already refined the first herb." Someone shouted, pointing at the large screen above the platform.

Then everyone\'s attention turned back to the screen. They ignored the image of Joey.

But, it was not the case for those ten renowned figures that were currently sitting on the luxurious seats at the edge of the platform. The moment the last five contestants entered inside the test rooms, all of their attention was given to Joey only. They didn\'t even make a blink of their eyes, worrying that they would miss something when Joey refined those herbs.

Inside the test room, Joey started chanting a mantra in Sanskrit. Then suddenly, an azure color fire appeared in his right hand. But the color of the fire kept changing into nine different colors.

The Chief Jugge Huan dropped the wine cup in his hand and exclaimed, pointing at the screen, "Ahh! That is… that is a Tier-9 essence fire."

All the other eminent experts sitting on the luxurious seats also have the same expression of surprise on their faces.

Only Grand Elder Yuchi Jiong and Elder Wang, who were also there, remained unperturbed while smiling at all those experts.

Old Man Bolin, who was sitting beside Yuchi Jiong, looked at him and chuckled, "Ho ho ho! Old Yuchi, this time you really pick a good seedling."

"Oh! So, do you still believe that I have already gone senile?" Old Yuchi asked with a grin.

"Hey, I am just joking with you." Old Man Bolin responded with a smile.

Then they continued watching only at the image of Joey on the screen, ignoring all the other participants.

Joey first picked up the herb that had a very brittle nature and low tolerance to fire.

"Hah! He chooses to refine the herb that is the most problematic one among the three." Chief Jugge Huan said.

Joey started controlling his Yogic essence fire and its color started changing into colorless. It now didn\'t look like fire anymore. But more like water.

Then he dropped the herb into the fire that looked like water.

Suddenly, the image on the large screen zoomed into the fire that looked like water. The herb fell on the surface of it. Then it submerged inside it like a falling leaf in the air. It slowly started becoming smaller and small as it went down to the bottom.

At the bottom, the herb completely vanished, leaving only a large yellow color drop. Then, it passed through the fire essence and stayed levitating in the air just above Joey\'s right-hand palm.

​ Joey picked up a small glass bottle and put it inside it.

"He just refined that herb simply like that!" Old Bolin exclaimed with more surprise.

After that, Joey picked up the herb that had the nature of medium-level resistance toward the fire. He controlled and turned back the Yogic essence fire to the previous version. This time, he simply just burned it casually and refined it successfully.

At last, Joey had picked up the herb that had the strong resistive nature toward the fire. Then he shouted, "Yogic Essence Fire, deactivate!"

Outside, Jugge Huan frowned and murmured, "What the hell! Is he forfeiting like that?"

Also, all the other nine experts, including Elder Wang, felt a bit of displeasure at seeing Joey extinguishing his essence fire.

But Joey still held the herb in his right hand. Then it slowly started levitating in the air.

"Oh! What is he going to do now? Let\'s see if another miracle is made by him."  Chief Jugge Huan said and continued watching him on the big screen.

Inside the test room, Joey started making various hand seals and shouted, "Soul force, go!" Then an intangible aura came out from his forehead and entered inside the herb.

He closed his eyes and continued making hand seals.

At that time, something amazing happened to the herb that was currently floating in the air. It slowly started turning into a green color liquid without using any essence fire. And Joey collected it inside another small glass bottle.

"Hahaha ha!" The Chief Jugge Huan laughed out loud and said, "Who would have thought such a simple idea to refine that herb easily? That boy is truly a goddamn genius. He will become a new pioneer in the field of Alchemy. Who is this boy? We need to investigate him more clearly."

" Chief Jugge Huan, what is really going on? I don\'t understand you. And that herb is even very troublesome to refine with essence fire, as it has a strong resistive nature toward the fire. But, he just refined it without even using essence qi. How does he do it? ," Yuwen Tai, the Sect Master of the Three Thousand Poisons Sect asked with doubts.

The others also looked at Chief Jugge Huan, waiting for his response.

"Alright, I will explain. Do any of you know why that herb has a strong resistive nature toward fire essence?" Chief Jugge Huan asked with a smile.
