C1349 Purifying Herbs

As time passed, more and more people had problems during the extraction process. The burning of the herbs happened frequently. Even the experienced alchemists of the older generation... It was the same. Some of them even had their medicinal ingredients incinerated.

Currently, the medicinal pills refined by these alchemists were not Level 1 or Level 2 medicinal pills. Instead, they were Tier 5 and Sixth-rank Pill. Refining medicinal pills of this level... The difficulty was very high. If one was not careful, they would fail. Even those experienced alchemists of the older generation couldn't help but fail.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the platform without blinking their eyes. Although they didn't know much about alchemy, they could still feel it. Those alchemists had put in great efforts to refine a good medicinal pill.

Bang!

The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked up and saw a string of black smoke coming out of Ling’s's Pill Cauldron. Then, a ball of flame was burning rapidly, swallowing a precious herb.

"How is this possible? I clearly controlled it well."

Ling’s looked at his Pill Cauldron with a blank expression. His mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't imagine how his herb would be burned.

Seeing this, everyone looked over, but no one laughed at him. When an alchemist refined a medicinal pill, the medicinal ingredients would be incinerated. That happened occasionally. It was not particularly strange. There were some medicinal ingredients that were incinerated on the spot. It wasn't just Ling’s alone.

Very quickly, Ling’s came back to his senses and took a deep breath. He sucked the herbs beside him and threw them into the flame once again.

"I wonder how that kid is doing. He must be in a panic now."

At this moment, Ling’s thought of Wu Chen and raised his head. He looked at him and thought back to the first time he dabbled in Sixth-rank Pill refinement. He would often be flustered and burn down an unknown number of medicinal herbs. He even lost his confidence once. Hence, he guessed... Wu Chen must also be like this.

However, when he looked over, he was surprised to find that... The situation on the scene wasn't as he had imagined. Wu Chen didn't panic at all. His steps were as one. In his Pill Cauldron, the flames continued to burn. Everything seemed very calm as the medicinal ingredients were being calcined.

"How could this be?"

Ling’s was shocked and in disbelief. Looking at Wu Chen, he didn't look like a newbie at all. All of his techniques seemed to be more proficient than his. How was this possible?

He wasn't the only one who noticed this. Many people also noticed this and couldn't help but discuss it.

"Is this really Wu Chen's first time refining Sixth-rank Pill? Why does it feel like he's even better than those Sixth Rank alchemists?"

"I think so too. Although I'm not an alchemist and don't know how to concoct a ___, I can still vaguely tell that this technique of his doesn't seem like the first time he's concocting a ___."

"From the beginning until now, there hasn't been a single time when the herbs he processed were burnt. Everything was done in an orderly manner. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like this is his first time concocting a ___."

"That's right. There are quite a few alchemists refining the Decoction Of Dendrobium at the scene. However, there are very, very few who are capable of not burning the herbs. Even that crazy man from the Western Xuan Region, didn't he burn the herbs before? "

"It's too strange."

Many people looked at Wu Chen with surprise.

"He's starting to purify the powder and iron flowers."

Ling’s had been paying attention to Wu Chen. At this moment, Wu Chen was purifying the powder iron flower. The Iron Flower was a very difficult herb to process. Previously, he had failed when he was processing this herb. The medicinal herb was burnt and forced to start purifying again.

"Kid, you dare to fight me with just your strength? I bet that your medicinal herbs will be burned down in the next moment."

As expected, a cracking sound was heard. Ling’s burst into laughter. What he said just now was purely a curse. In other words, it was nonsense. He had never thought that he would be so accurate.

"Brat, there's no way you can fight me."

Ling’s harrumphed coldly and looked at Wu Chen. His pupils shrunk. Initially, he wanted to see Wu Chen looking like he had lost his soul. However, the truth would not happen as he had expected. Wu Chen's pink iron flowers were still lying quietly in the flames. It was constantly being tempered.

"What's going on? Wasn't his powder iron flower burnt to ashes? Why is it still there?"

Ling’s was shocked. He didn't understand what was going on.

Then, he sniffed as if he had smelled something unusual.

"What's going on? Why is there a burnt smell? Could it be?"1

Ling’s hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his Pill Cauldron. His face turned pale with fright.

"My iron powder."

It turned out that the sound he heard earlier was not the sound of Wu Chen's Pink Iron Flower being burned, but his own Pink Iron Flower being burned.

Seeing all of this, Ling’s was stunned and had a long face. This was the second Pink Iron Flower that he had destroyed.

"Hehe, this fellow from Western Xuan Region has failed again."

"This guy was so arrogant and conceited earlier. He didn't take everyone seriously and thought that he was very powerful. It turns out that this is all he has."

"The more arrogant and conceited he is, the more ignorant and foolish he will become. It's perfect to use these words on this guy."

Everyone harrumphed coldly. They didn't have the slightest bit of pity for Ling’s's failure. Everything that happened was his own fault.

After a long while, Ling’s finally recovered. Now, he had failed twice, and he couldn't afford to fail again.

"By the way, what happened to that kid? He must have failed as well."

At this moment, he thought of Wu Chen again. In his opinion, he had failed twice, and Wu Chen must have failed as well.

However, the result of the incident had once again exceeded his expectations. The scene of Wu Chen failing in his imagination did not appear. Instead, he saw Wu Chen absorbing another herb into the flame. As for the powder iron flower, it had already been purified and was lying quietly at a corner of the table.

"How is this possible? How could this guy be able to purify the powder iron flower?"

Ling’s's face was full of shock and disbelief. He was well aware of how difficult it was to purify the powder iron flower. In the past, he had spent three whole months in order to purify this kind of thing. He had barely managed to purify the powder iron flower to a qualified level. He had also failed twice in a row. From this, it could be seen that... The difficulty of purifying the powder iron flower was very high.

But now, Wu Chen had succeeded in purifying it in one go. He had never experienced any failure. How could he believe this?
