Elder Maurice inspected Conrad's Three Suns Pill closely and noted the faint pill aura floating around it. It clearly looked like a pill had just been refined, and that was something that could not be faked.
He suddenly looked up at Conrad who, at that moment, sported a smile on his face, evidently pleased with himself. Mr. Zayne rushed over as well and also looked at the Three Suns Pill a few times.
Mr. Zayne might not be an alchemist, but he nonetheless knew the basics. Even he could tell that the pill was the real deal.
It really was just refined, and the handiwork was sloppy, only barely passing the mark. It was a far cry from the Three Suns Pill that Fane refined.
Fane walked over and only needed a glance to see that they had lost this round.
It seemed like a sure victory for Phoenix Valley, yet the tables were turned so abruptly. It was obvious that Elder Maurice could not really accept it. Even though they had won the first stage, no one knew if they would lose the third stage just like they did the second.
At that moment, Elder Maurice felt incredibly conflicted-it was like he had been thrown into cold water.
On the other hand, Master Forrest started to get
excited. His initial hopelessness had been wiped away, and it was like he had found a new reason in life.
"Have you finished looking? Did we win the round?" spoke Master Forrest who was positively beaming. The moment he thought of the words Elder Maurice said to him earlier, Master Forrest felt like fighting back.
