C5484 As a Cheater
When the middle-aged alchemist saw that the City Supervisor had come, not only did he not panic, he even revealed a proud smile towards Ye Feng.
"This fool, I didn't provoke him, but he still wants to go against me."
Seeing him like this, Ye Feng felt a little helpless. This middle-aged alchemist was simply courting death.
"Cheating? Is there anyone who dares to cheat in the Alchemy Competition? This is an event hosted by Your Excellency City Lord."
"He's really courting death. He's so young, yet he doesn't walk the righteous path. He actually cheated!"
"Look, he has thirteen top-grade Spirit Pill Refiners in his hands. I'm afraid only a third-grade alchemist can do this. How can he be a third-grade alchemist at such a young age? He must have cheated!"
The surrounding alchemists also began to discuss. Some of them had already finished refining, while others had already given up after failing.
Regardless of the situation, when they saw the thirteen top-grade Spiritual Energy Pills in Ye Feng's hands, they expressed their disbelief and questioned Ye Feng's ability.
"Do you have evidence?"
The City Supervisor came in front of Ye Feng and the middle-aged alchemist. He glanced at the thirteen top-grade Spiritual Energy Pill in Ye Feng's hands, and his expression did not change. He asked the middle-aged alchemist in a deep voice.
"What evidence do you need? Isn't it obvious? He's so young, how can he refine thirteen top-grade Spiritual Energy Pills?!"
The middle-aged alchemist immediately shouted, then pointed at Ye Feng and scolded, "This brat must have used some underhanded method to put the thirteen top-grade Spiritual Energy Pills into the furnace and fake the appearance of refining them."
"Idiot."
Hearing the middle-aged alchemist's slander, Ye Feng's expression was indifferent as he lightly spat out two words.
"What did you say?"
The middle-aged alchemist's face turned ashen. He did not expect that Ye Feng would dare to be so arrogant even when the City Manager's family had come. He was even disrespectful to him.
"Lord Butler, look at this brat. He is really too arrogant. You must teach him a good lesson!"
The middle-aged alchemist shouted.
"Did you see this little brother hide the Spiritual Energy Pills in the furnace?"
The City Manager's family ignored the middle-aged alchemist's shouting and asked again, his tone becoming more serious.
"This... His methods are very exquisite. I didn't see it, but I am sure that he cheated!"
The middle-aged Alchemist said with his neck stiffened.
"So you're saying that you can't produce any evidence?"
The City Manager's family squinted his eyes and asked.
"I..."
The middle-aged alchemist’s expression froze. He felt that the situation was a bit wrong. The City Manager's family should have treated Ye Feng coldly and punished him for cheating, but why were they questioning him now?
The surrounding alchemists also noticed that something was amiss. The sounds of discussion gradually died down, and they all quietly watched the show.
"Humph, you can't even produce any evidence and slander others. Do you know what kind of conduct this is?"
Seeing the middle-aged alchemist in such a state, the City Manager's family immediately understood and shouted.
"You!"
The middle-aged alchemist glared at him, feeling displeased. He suddenly thought of something and revealed an expression of realization.
"You, as the City Manager's family, actually side with this brat. Could it be that you have some relationship with him? Are you purposely biased?"
The middle-aged alchemist immediately shouted.
"Pah!"
The City Manager's family slapped the middle-aged alchemist's face, sending him flying. Half of his teeth were missing.
"What a reckless thing. Not only did you slander the contestant, you even dare to slander me, the judge?"
The City Manager's family's face was ashen, and the coldness in his eyes surged. "I have seen the entire process of this little brother's pill refining. I know very well whether he cheated or not."
"You are not capable, but you slander others. Your character is so lowly. You are simply not worthy of being an alchemist!"
Hearing this, the entire audience was in an uproar. They did not expect the middle-aged alchemist to be such a person, making them feel disdain.
"You, you are talking nonsense!"
The middle-aged alchemists stubbornly crawled up from the ground, appearing very aggrieved. He really felt that he was right. Ye Feng must have cheated.
"You said that you watched him refine the pill all along. How can you prove it?"
The middle-aged alchemists questioned.
"Hehe, you want to prove it, right?"
The City Manager sneered and continued, "Let me tell you, this time's Pill Refining Competition is monitored by the Spiritual Treasure Illumination Mirror. All the refining scenes of the participating contestants are clearly recorded in the case!"
"Go!"
The City Manager shouted in a low voice, and raised his palm towards the sky. The white clouds in the sky drifted, and a huge mirror that looked like a small lake appeared from behind the clouds.
Immediately after, as the City Manager activated the Illumination Mirror, a projection shot out from the mirror and landed on a huge wall at the front of the Pill Refining Competition.
The scene of Ye Feng refining the Pill appeared on the wall, and his every action was clearly visible.
The contestants and spectators who were participating in the Pill Refining Competition finally realized what was going on. They were still wondering why there was a blank wall on the stage, but it turned out to be for this purpose.
"An Air Mirror, Your Excellency City Lord actually took out such a treasure."
"This is really unexpected. This Mirror of Illusion is a top grade Tier 4 spiritual treasure. The record is only its most insignificant function. It is usually used to protect the city. Your Excellency City Lord actually used the Mirror of Illusion for this meeting."
"Look, although this little brother's pill refining technique looks very clumsy, it is only an illusion. His control of the flame has already reached the level of lightness. He is comparable to a master alchemist!"
The participants of the Alchemy Competition looked at Ye Feng's pill refining projection on the wall and started to discuss again. Some of the alchemists with extraordinary pill refining skills even gave Ye Feng a high evaluation.
The middle-aged alchemist looked at the picture on the wall and heard the discussions. His face was filled with disbelief.
"What? How is this possible? This brat is so young, but his pill refining skills are so extraordinary? Am I looking down on him?"
At this moment, the middle-aged alchemist finally realized his own problem and could not help but feel terrified.
"Do you understand now? You still dare to ridicule and give pointers to this little brother, and even question his pill refining results. What qualifications do you have?"
The City Manager's family looked at the middle-aged alchemist with cold eyes and continued, "A person as ridiculous as you is simply not qualified to participate in the Alchemy Competition. You don't even have the qualifications to refine pills. From today onwards, you are not allowed to participate in the Alchemy Competition. If you don't obey, I will cripple your cultivation!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged alchemist's expression was filled with despair. He felt incomparable regret and resentment in his heart, but all of this was his own fault. He did not dare to refute the City Manager's family, so he could only leave in a desolate manner.
As for the participating alchemists and the onlookers, they did not feel any sympathy for the middle-aged alchemist's misfortune, because it was all his own fault.
