346: C346 Strange Pill Prescription

C346 Strange Pill Prescription

The first round of the competition lasted for a very long time, a total of ten pill formulas. Each pill formula only allowed the contestant ten seconds to react. From start to finish, only five minutes had passed.

However, in the short span of five minutes, every second felt like a year to every contestant. Every minute, many contestants were eliminated from the competition.

Just the contents of these few minutes of the competition had filled the spectators in the stands with cheers. Every single Jade Token being destroyed was enough to shock them.

"I never thought that the first round of the competition would actually be so intense …"

"That's right. It's only the first round, but half of the people have been eliminated. This is just too scary …"

"This is a competition that's truly exciting, not even a little bit of water has been added to it. Look, there are indeed a lot of people participating in Duobao Sect, but after the first round, a total of eleven people have been eliminated … …"

"Don't just look at how they were eliminated in the first round. They are all alchemy geniuses within the sect!"

"However, what I did not expect was that the Duobao Sect's Nie Zhen actually wasn't eliminated. It's true that his talent in the Martial Dao is extremely strong, but I didn't expect his Pill Tao Talent to be this strong as well." At this time, someone had already noticed that there were very few disciples of the younger generation in the arena. However, Nie Zhen was still standing in the arena. This meant that Nie Zhen was at least one of the top among the younger generation.

At this time, someone rolled his eyes at the person who spoke earlier: "Are you stupid? Earlier, Nie Zhen saved Jiugong Sect's Yuan Teng and Tianyi Pavilion's Lee Yanyu. One must know, his methods may even be better than some of the sect's alchemy experts!"

It was only then that they remembered that Nie Zhen's masterstroke had left such a deep impression on the others that they had temporarily forgotten Nie Zhen's dan-making prowess. It was only after Nie Zhen had fought against Shangguan Yu that they had been able to remember his prowess in dan-making.

However, sometimes, things that were forgotten could be remembered with a single reminder. When Lee Yanyu's Dantian broke and Nie Zhen could be saved, his alchemy prowess could not be ignored either.

"Hmph, so it's a vile spawn like you. I didn't expect you to be able to last until the second round. It seems that you really do know a lot about theory." At this time, Hsiao Yan, who was in Origin Sect, saw Nie Zhen still standing in the arena.

Nie Zhen glanced at Hsiao Yan and sneered, "You still have the nerve to talk to me when you have lost to me?"

"Arrogant!" Hsiao Yan flew into a rage. To hear Nie Zhen say such words to him in front of everyone was the same as exposing his face. How could he endure this kind of thing?!

At this time, Fourth Sect Master, Hsiao Dan, who was leading the Origin Sect and alchemy team, said to Hsiao Yan lightly, "Hsiao Yan, calm down. Don't waste your energy on these insignificant people."

"Understood, Master." Hsiao Yan said respectfully to Hsiao Dan and sneered at Nie Zhen, "Hmph, that's true, why should I waste my time talking to you? You must have read too many ancient books, otherwise, how would you know the way to save your Dantian. But the second round and the third round are all about alchemy.

With that, Hsiao Yan turned his head away and ignored Nie Zhen.

However, even though Hsiao Yan said that, he was still on guard. He knew that Nie Zhen had the ability to concoct top quality Earth Pills.

Nie Zhen had already been able to concoct a supreme Earth Pill during the Pill Dao's Ceremony. This was what Hsiao Yan had personally witnessed. Even though he had some luck, with Nie Zhen's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to handle the second round.

They had analyzed Nie Zhen's performance on the alchemy path as well as the inner parts of the Origin Sect, and they determined that Nie Zhen must have read a lot of ancient books and pill formulas, which were why there were so many methods that others could not cure him, but no matter how many pill formulas he had in his heart, if his alchemy strength could not keep up, it would just be empty theory.

After all, Nie Zhen was too young, and his Duobao Sect was not from some alchemy sect, so it was impossible for him to bring up disciples with the strength of the Inverse Heaven Pill Dao.

At this time, Sovereign Tai Shan had already returned to his seat. Sovereign Tai Yi then announced, "Then, we will immediately enter the second round. The first round will only be a theoretical examination, and I believe there won't be much consumption.

After Sovereign Tai Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and a scroll appeared in front of everyone. Then, with a flip of his hand, Sovereign Tai Yi revealed the side where he wrote down the pill formula to everyone.

"Six Horn Linglong Pellet?"

Nie Zhen glanced at it and completely memorized the pill formula's contents.

Although cultivators all had extraordinary memory and only needed a moment to memorize a martial skill that could easily reach millions of words, Sovereign Tai Yi still remembered it after a while. He waited until he was sure that everyone had remembered the pill formula clearly before he took back the pill formula.

Afterwards, over ten disciples of Jiugong Sect stepped onto the stage. Each of them had a Storage Ring in their hands, and they handed it over to the remaining participants.

Nie Zhen glanced inside the Storage Ring, inside the Storage Ring were all the materials needed to refine the Six Horn Exquisite Pill, the quantity was not too much, just nice to be able to refine it three times.

"Alright, everyone should have received the medicinal herbs by now, right?" Please check the herbs in the Storage Ring to see if there are any problems. " Sovereign Tai Yi said lightly as he saw each of the Storage Ring.

Actually, the moment people at the scene received the Storage Ring, they had already seen the medicinal ingredients inside. Furthermore, if these medicinal ingredients had passed through multiple levels of Jiugong Sect, there definitely wouldn't be a problem.

Only after everyone had confirmed did Sovereign Tai Yi declare: "Since everything has been confirmed, then this Sovereign will now announce that the second round of Pill Tao Competition has officially begun!"0

Just as Sovereign Tai Yi finished speaking, the five people from Origin Sect immediately summoned their own Pill Cauldron, and started refining their own True Fires.

When the other participants saw Origin Sect taking the lead, and starting to refine pills, all of them started to anxiously refine pills.

At this moment, Nie Zhen had also summoned his Hidden Tiger Cauldron. Although he had the Heaven Stage Level 9 Divine Cauldron Eight Trigrams Cauldron, if he used it in such a public place, it would probably cause quite a commotion and might even attract the attention of others.

Because Eight Trigrams Cauldron were not like God Killing Sword, even though they were Divine King Supreme Treasure, they had not fully developed their potential, so even though everyone could tell that Nie Zhen's spirit artifact was not simple, they could not tell what kind of high quality spirit artifact the God Killing Sword was, but it was actually a Heavenly God artifact. This was something that many experts could still see.

Nie Zhen would rather use the Subduing Tiger Cauldron which was only at the first stage of Earth Stage than to do anything unnecessary. Nie Zhen also believed that even if he used the Subduing Tiger Cauldron, it would not affect his own strength.

After the first round of screening, the remaining people were all extremely strong, and each of them began to concoct pills in an orderly manner.

Nie Zhen also took out his first batch of herbs and summoned his internal fire at the same time. He enveloped all the herbs in the fire and started refining them in the Pill Cauldron.

The flame continued to rise. In the time it took an incense stick to burn, the main ingredient, the Octagonal Fruit, had already shrunk after being refined by the True Fire, while the other supplementary materials had already melted under the refinement of the flame, turning into a stream of clear liquid that flowed towards the octagonal fruit bag.

"Very good!" Nie Zhen was elated. The main ingredient and the supplementary material had been perfectly fused. Next, all he needed to do was to integrate the ingredient into the pill and successfully refine the Six Horn Exquisite Pill.

This was only the second round, and the true pill masters wouldn't dare to use underhanded methods. Other than some young pill geniuses, they didn't dare to hold back when facing a mid-tier Earth Core Stage pill, the Six Horn Exquisite Pill.

At this moment, everyone's alchemy progress was about the same. The main ingredients and supplementary ingredients had already started their preliminary fusing. The only thing missing was the catalyst brought from the drug refining process.

"Seems like the progress is pretty good. Other than a few young people who are barely able to make it, the other's pills are beginning to take shape." Elder Xuan Feng looked at the progress of the pill refining on the stage. Although he wasn't good at it, he could still tell from the looks of it.

From the participants' pill furnaces, everyone could see that the Pill Cauldron's ingredients had already taken the shape of a pill.

However, Sovereign Tai Yi smiled and said: "Heh heh... "That might not necessarily be the case …"

As if confirming Sovereign Tai Yi's words, all of a sudden, two of the young participants' Pill Cauldron exploded, and all the herbs in the Pill Cauldron turned into ashes.

The other participants only glanced at it for a moment, not moving. They continued to focus on refining their own pills.

The six horned exquisite pill was, after all, a medium-grade Earth Core. They did not dare to be overly ambitious. Moreover, the two people who blew up the pill were still young people, so it was normal for something to go wrong.

However, at this time, Nie Zhen clearly felt an abnormally hot fluctuation of spiritual energy in his Pill Cauldron, as if something was wrong with the pill that was about to be concocted, and it turned into a balloon filled with gas that could explode at any time.

"That's impossible! I have completely followed the steps written down in the pill formula, so there shouldn't be any problems with it! " He was full of confidence in himself. It was just a Medial Grade Earth Pill, even if it was a Middle Grade Heavenly Pill, as long as he was serious and cautious, Nie Zhen could guarantee that there would be no problems, how could it be possible for him to lose his footing on a Medial Grade Earth Pill?

However, before Nie Zhen could react, the heat in the furnace suddenly increased by several times. He only heard a "BOOM!" With an explosion, even the pellet in Nie Zhen's Pill Cauldron exploded!

At the same time, Elder Tianhuo from the same sect also exploded at the same time as Nie Zhen. In addition, Hsiao Dan, Hsiao Yan, and the others with Origin Sect also exploded the medicinal pellets in the next second.

Nie Zhen looked around and suddenly squinted his eyes. He exclaimed in his heart: "So many people have failed, it can't be due to technology. There must be something wrong with the recipe!"
