At the moment these words were heard, everyone in the grand hall was stunned, looking at Shen Qiang as if he were a monster.

"It's impossible, Yu Xinghuo's fire control skills are exceptional, absolutely top-tier. When he was performing alchemy, the ceiling two meters away, decorated with fire-resistant materials, was still scorched. Shen Qiang's ice cream is only thirty centimeters away from his alchemy furnace; it won't just melt, it would be turned to ashes in an instant!"

Yet, just as they were filled with doubt, Shen Qiang, who had already grown impatient, lightly raised his brows.

The azure flame inside the Immortal Artifact Furnace exploded in an instant, transforming from a blue flame to a dim yellow, like a globular light in just a fraction of a second.

"This is..." The five judges on the panel and Yu Xinghuo were instantly left with their mouths agape.

Then the first to exclaim in shock was actually Yu Xinghuo.

"Samadhi True Fire!" Yu Xinghuo screamed in a hoarse voice, "There's no mistake, Samadhi True Fire, it's actually the Samadhi True Fire that only an Immortal can possess!"

Amidst his hoarse, shocking cry,

not only did the elated Cheng Xinyi, the chief appraiser, stand up, but the other judges also stood up in shock. Their eyes were fixed on the flame burning inside the pill furnace while in the live stream, the screen was flooded with bullet comments.

"Wocao! Immortal Technique! This is Samadhi True Fire that can only be achieved by Immortal Technique!"

"Bowing down to Brother Qiang! I suddenly feel like I'm a fake cultivator!"

"Immortal Technique...Bro! Dear Bro! Take me to Ascension, please!"

Unfortunately, Shen Qiang, who was focused on alchemy, simply couldn't see the comments, only hearing Yu Xinghuo's hoarse shout.

His words made the corner of Shen Qiang's mouth curl into a disdainful cold smile.

Because in reality, the flame inside the alchemy furnace was indeed Samadhi True Fire.

But it was converted from the Fire Dragon Flame through seals on the Shennong Cauldron, still a distance from the real Samadhi True Fire used by Immortals.

Not only that.

This furnace, sealed by the Nine Dragon Soul Refining Immortal Technique, couldn't fully utilize its true power; if not, mere Samadhi Fire Dragon Flame wouldn't be worth Shen Qiang's attention.

Moreover, what made Shen Qiang feel even more helpless was Yu Xinghuo's shout as if the world was ending when, in reality, Shen Qiang's heart felt increasingly lonely, like a person standing solitary at the pinnacle.

"Can't even see through Samadhi Fire Dragon Flame, relying on a fake Fiery Sun Red Yang Pill recipe and still being revered as a famous alchemist in the Cultivation World; then who in this world can make my blood boil in battle?"

Shen Qiang sighed helplessly, indeed life is lonely as snow.

At this moment, the chief appraiser Cheng Xinyi, who had regained his composure, exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Samadhi True Fire, a temperature of over twenty thousand degrees! Look quickly, look at those ice creams!"

The crowd, originally immersed in the shock of the Samadhi True Fire, instantly shifted their attention to the ice creams placed above the furnace, like a tray of cakes.

In an instant, whether in the hall or the live stream, whether ordinary cultivators or knowledgeable alchemists, even the exquisite Young Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley was shocked to see,

though the Samadhi True Fire inside the furnace was crackling, the ice creams outside remained unchanged.

Not to mention instant evaporation; not only did they not change at all, but above the furnace, they remained as if just taken out of the freezer, emitting a faint mist of cold air.

"Impossible!" the exquisite Young Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley exclaimed in shock, her beautiful eyes wide open. "Samadhi True Fire possesses a high temperature unattainable by ordinary flames, at least over twenty thousand degrees. How can ice cream not melt at such a close distance!"

The upright girl was also full of shock and said, "Immortal Technique! Young Master! This Shen Qiang knows Immortal Techniques, what can't he do!"

The exquisite Young Valley Master was stupefied, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.

Almost at the same time, Yu Xinghuo in the hall was already dumbfounded, and he exclaimed in shock, "Impossible, Shen Qiang can control Samadhi True Fire without using a magic technique? Impossible, this is definitely impossible!"

At the moment these words were heard, the five judges on the panel felt all the hairs on their bodies stand up.

If, when they saw the Samadhi True Fire and unmelted ice cream earlier, their hearts were only in shock, now, upon sudden realization, they felt a chill down their spines and a trembling fear arising from their hearts.

"Strong! So strong! The reason alchemists use a magic technique when controlling fire is mainly because the technique enhances focus, allowing the Divine Sense to be more concentrated, and the True Yuan to flow smoother. It's like human eyes; if looking at a blank sheet of paper, the gaze will drift, but if there's a black dot on the paper, focus naturally falls on it!"

"So even a top-tier Alchemy Master needs a magic technique when controlling fire because that technique is like a brush in hand, and the flame in the pill furnace is the ink. This is the only way to sketch out the desired picture!"

"But Shen Qiang skipping this step means...his Divine Sense is already so strong it can shape without the need for pen and ink!"

The five judges watched in amazement as Shen Qiang stood proudly in the field, with a calm demeanor as if taking a leisure walk. They all clenched their fists, not daring to relax their breathing, for fear of disturbing Shen Qiang in any way.

Yet as they held their breath, staring in awe and reverence at Shen Qiang,

Yu Xinghuo, whose face had turned pale, suddenly stepped forward and shouted sternly, "Shen Qiang, you yourself said that if any one of the ice creams melts when the pill is formed, you lose. Everyone heard it loud and clear, so even if you're better than me at fire control, it doesn't matter."

"Because the room's temperature isn't too high, around twenty degrees, those ice creams clumped together will heat up slowly, but in six to seven minutes, they'll start to melt, and in about ten minutes, they would begin to drip!"

"In such a short time, how do you plan on winning against me?"

Yu Xinghuo spoke with such certainty that everyone in the hall felt a tightening in their chests.

At this time, they were not in a position to speak, but the people in the live broadcast, who couldn't perceive the atmosphere on-site, were blunt.

"Right, those cream ice creams can last at most ten minutes. If not melted in ten minutes, it must be fake!"

"Yu Xinghuo took five hours to complete his alchemy, does Shen Qiang think we're fools? What kind of ice cream can last five hours without melting?"

"Exactly, no sense at all. Even if Shen Qiang's fire control is extraordinary, everything outside the furnace is unaffected by the furnace fire. But ultimately, those things would melt themselves, hahahaha, how pretentious!"

But at this moment, the Shen Qiang in the frame smiled.

"Oh, Yu Xinghuo, it seems you haven't noticed, huh? The three hours you spent fully melting your materials, I completed in just three minutes."
