Chapter 340: The Exploding Jeffrey Anderson 1
This person was none other than Jeffrey Anderson, who was once a member of the Chuzzle Traditional Chinese Medicine Association and Dorian Dawson’s apprentice!
Jeffrey in front of Ethan had a rather sinister expression, had lost a lot of weight, and had even become somewhat difficult to recognize.
Ethan frowned and asked, “Jeffrey, how did you end up like this? Have you… practiced some evil techniques?”
Jeffrey replied angrily, “It’s all thanks to you…”
“Thanks to me?” Ethan’s brow furrowed slightly.
Jeffrey said furiously, “Nothing? It’s because of you that my once cherished pride was completely shattered! My dreams were also crushed!”
“If it wasn’t for you, I would have definitely become the president of the
Traditional Medicine Association and be admired by everyone!”
“But it was your mere appearance that broke everything!”
Ethan couldn’t help but shake his head, “Jeffrey, your pride is too fragile, isn’t it? So, just because I defeated you, your pride was hurt?”
“You don’t understand,” said Jeffrey coldly.
“You have no idea what it’s like for someone who has been praised since childhood to suddenly be brought so low.”
Ethan looked at Jeffrey and said coldly, “Jeffrey, your mindset is the problem. It’s your desires that can’t support your ambitions.”
“Enough with the nonsense!” Jeffrey snapped back.
“I am now part of the Blair family! You have no right to lecture me!” Ethan didn’t say anything more.
Nevertheless, he was somewhat surprised about Jeffrey’s development.
Initially, Ethan had a good opinion of him but didn’t expect him to drift down the wrong path.
From Jeffrey’s current condition, it was clear that he had practiced some evil techniques, hence turning him into this inhuman and ghost-like figure.
“The Pavilion Master has arrived!”
At that moment, a loud shout came from outside.
Subsequently, the Pavilion Master walked in slowly, accompanied by many Law Enforcement Elders.
“Greetings to the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion,” Jeffrey said, giving a slight bow to the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master gave a small nod, not appearing too surprised at Jeffrey’s appearance.
With the Pavilion Master’s arrival, the competition officially began.
Two medicinal cauldrons were placed in the middle, with a pile of rare herbs available for both contestants to use.
Jeffrey glanced coldly at Ethan, then sneered, “Ethan Smith, half a year has passed, and I am no longer the same Jeffrey Anderson.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jeffrey opened his palm!
A group of Blue Spirit Fire flickered on his palm!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock!
This Jeffrey actually possessed the Blue Spirit Fire as well!
“Weren’t you a Red Spiritual Fire?” Ethan frowned and asked.
Jeffrey sneered, “This Blue Spirit Fire was gifted to me by the Blair family. They have given me everything!”
“Spirit Fire… can be gifted?” Ethan became even more puzzled.
Jeffrey coldly snorted without further explanation>.
He put the herbs into the medicinal cauldron one by one and began to refine the pills.
It must be said that Jeffrey’s alchemy skills had improved remarkably fast.
In just half a year, his control of the Blue Spirit Fire had already reached an expert level!
Seeing his incredible technique left everyone stunned, and even Ethan felt a bit of pressure.
As such, Ethan didn’t hesitate any longer. He immediately placed the herbs into his medicinal cauldron and began refining the pills.
For this refining session, Ethan still maintained his choice: the Nine Transformation Pill.
The Nine Transformation Pill was considered a Divine Medicine, and even in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, only a few people could successfully refine it.
As for the Blair family, there was no need to mention—they didn’t stand a chance. Ethan didn’t believe they had such a profound foundation.
Most importantly, the amount of herbs required for Ethan to refine the Nine Transformation Pill was much less than what others needed.Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two clusters of blue flame danced within the medicinal cauldron.
Both of their speeds were almost neck and neck, and the grade of their pills seemed to be Earth Rank Pills.
Time slipped away second by second, and in the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened.
Meanwhile, the pill in Ethan Smith’s cauldron had already begun to take shape slowly.
In contrast, Jeffrey Anderson’s pill seemed to be one step behind!
This couldn’t help but make Jeffrey’s face darken, and even a hint of anxiety flashed across his face!
It was precisely because of this change in his state of mind that the flame in Jeffrey’s cauldron began to deviate.
“Huff!”
The Blue Spirit Fire became extremely violent, burning the herbs in the cauldron to ashes!
“How…how could this be!” Jeffrey became even more panicked.
He stared at the ashes in his cauldron, and a hint of despair flashed across his face.
At this moment, Ethan Smith’s Nine Transformation Pill had already been successfully refined.
Pill Clouds in the sky were also slowly condensing.
“Buzz!”
A flash of light streaked across, and the Nine Transformation Pill fell into Ethan Smith’s hand.
Thunderous applause immediately erupted on the scene; even the Pavilion Master’s eyes flashed with a hint of approval.
Ethan handed the Nine Transformation Pill to the elder, and then looked at Jeffrey.
“Jeffrey, you lost,” Ethan said solemnly.
However, it seemed as if Jeffrey hadn’t heard, and he just kept muttering to himself, “How could this happen, how could this happen…”
Seeing Jeffrey’s demeanor, Ethan couldn’t help but sigh, “Jeffrey, there’s no need to be upset. You have talent, and I believe the Pavilion Master will let you stay in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.”
To any alchemist, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion is the most sacred place in their hearts, and Jeffrey was no exception.
Joining the Divine Alchemist Pavilion was the best testament to one’s alchemy skills.
But Jeffrey looked at Ethan with rage, as if he had gone mad!
A hint of resentment flashed across his face, and his body even trembled slightly.
“Staying in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion? Ethan Smith, you make it sound so easy!” Jeffrey practically roared out these words!
He spoke with evident pain, “You are an elder of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, high and mighty, and revered by thousands. Yet I’ve become this inhuman and ghostly figure!”
“In order to obtain this blue fire, I did everything to please the Blair family, even willingly serving as their cattle and horse…”
“But even so, they never treated me as a person!”
“All of this is because of you, all because of you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gone mad trying to obtain this fire!”
Jeffrey’s insanity left everyone puzzled.
Ethan frowned, “It’s just a loss, why are you so agitated? Although you didn’t become an elder this time, it doesn’t mean you can’t in the future…” “I have no chance, I have no chance!” Jeffrey shouted in anger!
“If I can’t win against you today, I will die here… For the Blair family, my usefulness… is over….”
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…” Jeffrey’s face began to contort, and his entire body trembled violently!
Ethan’s face changed, and he asked with furrowed brows, “Jeffrey, what… what’s wrong with you?”
“Huff! ”
At this moment, Jeffrey’s entire body was suddenly enveloped in spiritual fire! He turned into a man of fire!
He moved his body with incredible speed, charging straight toward Ethan Smith!
Wherever he went, everything touched by the Blue Spirit Fire was reduced to ashes!
The entire Great Hall instantly descended into chaos! All the alchemists scattered and fled in all directions!
“Swish!”
In the blink of an eye, Jeffrey was in front of Ethan, his fists wrapped in flames, and he fiercely slammed them into Ethan!
“I don’t want to die…l don’t want to die…” Amidst the depths of the flames, Jeffrey’s painful voice could still be heard..
