347: C347 The Third Round in a Meditative State!

C347 The Third Round in a Meditative State!

Although they were not sure what was wrong with it, many of the pill masters, including Nie Zhen, had started to realize that there was definitely something wrong with the recipe.

As for what the problem was, no one had yet discovered that there were many steps to the pill refining process. Any step that had a problem would lead to failure, and the amount of ingredients needed to concoct the pill and the order in which the Pill Cauldron was thrown into the pill would also lead to failure.

Therefore, everyone had to continuously deduce every single detail of this pill formula to ensure that their deductions were correct before they would dare to refine it again.

Due to the fact that they had no doubts about the pill formula at the start, they had already lost their first chance. Everyone only had two more pills to concoct, so they had no choice but to be cautious.

"Hehehe …" When Sovereign Tai Yi saw that everyone in the arena had a serious look on their faces and were thinking about the recipe, he finally revealed a smile.

If it was just simply refining a medium-grade Earth Pill, how would it qualify for the second round? This pill recipe had indeed been tampered with by him. Only those who could see where the problem lay would be qualified to enter the next round.

Looking at Sovereign Tai Yi's confident expression, how could the people at the top of the grandstands not know that there was another mystery behind the pill formula? However, several of the strongest alchemists were already in the arena. If even they couldn't see the problem, then the people in the grandstands didn't have the ability to do so.

"Damn it! I can't believe that Taiyi Old Man actually played such a trick... This time, we really got cheated by him! " Hsiao Dan angrily sent a sound transmission to the other four people of Origin Sect: "Tianling, Facial Wall, the two of you study the medicinal ingredients to see if there is anything strange about them. Old Yao, Hsiao Yan, you two think about the steps of refining pills.

Of the five people in Origin Sect, other than Fourth Sect Master, Hsiao Dan, and the number one person in the younger generation, Hsiao Yan, the other three were all elders and pill masters. They immediately began considering the pill formulas from different directions.

Just at this moment, the two young men from Ice River Valley detonated the pellets once more. The first explosion made them think that there was a problem with their own refining methods, so they started the second time without a second word.

"Are you two idiots?! There was something wrong with the pill formula, how could you all not see it?! If you go out in the future, don't even think about being this old man's disciple! " He thought that even if the two disciples who were proud of themselves didn't know where the problem lay, they would at least know that there was something wrong with the pill formula. Who knew that the two of them would actually waste such a precious opportunity, how could Elder Wu Hen not be angry?

The two disciples from Ice River Valley were incomparably ashamed, but this time, although they did not dare to waste anymore, similarly, they did not dare to continue concocting pills.

"It seems like the pill formula has its limits. Look at the other powerful Dao of alchemy experts below the arena. No one dares to continue concocting pills."

"I heard there's a problem with the pill formula. Maybe this is a trap set up by the Jiugong Sect?"

"Then it's a trap, the five people from Jiugong Sect also seem to be in trouble."

When the audience saw the situation turn out like this, how could they not see the strangeness of the second round? Their interest was immediately piqued and they all raised their heads in anticipation, wanting to see who would be the first to refine the Six Horn Exquisite Pill.

At this time, the Duobao Sect Elder of the Hundred Herbs Sect said to Elder Tianhuo, Nie Zhen and Yun Ling who were still in the arena, "Let me try again.

At this time, even if someone from each sect had a guess, they would only dare to refine it by themselves. This would save on the error rate.

After Elder Hundred Herbs finished communicating with the furnace, he started concocting again. However, this time he was tempering the ingredients first before throwing the main ingredient into the furnace.

At this moment, the Five Appearances Sect's Elder Liuhuo also began his second attempt.

As far as Elder Liuhuo was concerned, this was a bit depressing. The people from the other sects could have a deal at this time, or they could find someone to give it a try if they had an idea.

However, the Five Appearances Sect only sent Elder Liu Huo this time. Elder Liu Huo didn't even have a chance to discuss the matter, so once he had a guess, he could only roll up his sleeves and leave.

On the stage, Hundred Herbs Elder and Flaming Fire Elder started concocting pills almost simultaneously, and not long after, when Hundred Herbs Elder put the main ingredients into the furnace, the Pill Cauldron's ingredients were all blown up...

"Sigh …" The Hundred Herbs Elder let out a long sigh. It seemed that because of his second defeat, he was also somewhat disappointed.

Pill refining required an extremely strict mental state, and one must have a gentle mindset in order to succeed. If one failed, it was best to meditate and adjust; otherwise, the failure rate would be higher next time.

Seeing that Hundred Herbs Elder had failed, the crowd in the stands immediately turned their gazes towards Elder Liu Huo. However, not long after, Elder Liu Huo's pill furnace also experienced a second failure.

Two more pill masters failed, and no one dared to make a move. There was a strange silence.

At this moment, Nie Zhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He realized that he might have entered a wrong area.

When a normal person encountered this kind of situation, they would usually consider whether there was a problem with the step of refining the pill. However, no one would think that it was possible that the medicinal ingredients used to refine the medicinal pellet were deliberately given too much Jiugong Sect.

The reason why Nie Zhen had such a guess was because he thought of the Low Grade Holy Pill that was recorded in the Medicine King Scripture — — Octagonal Sacred Heart Pill. The medicinal ingredients required were very similar to the Six Horn Exquisite Pill.

Nie Zhen originally thought that the Six Horn Exquisite Pill was a pill recipe that was not recorded in the Medicine King Scripture, but if combined with the Eight Horn Sacred Heart Pill, it was extremely possible that there was no Six Horn Exquisite Pill. The Six Horn Exquisite Pill was only a low-grade version of the Eight Horn Sacred Heart Pill, because there was no needed ingredients, so the ingredients that were used to demote the same effects were matched in, becoming a so-called middle tier Earth Pill recipe.1

If that was the case, then with the help of the Octagonal Sacred Heart Pill, he could see that there was a problem with the Six Horn Exquisite Pill.

Nie Zhen was surprised to find out that there was no such thing as a medicinal attraction within the recipe of the Octagonal Sacred Heart Pill. In other words, there was no need to add fuel to the fire.

Nie Zhen immediately used his medical knowledge to deduce. He discovered that this potion was most likely added into the mix due to Jiugong Sect, which was used to confuse the crowd.

"Everyone, I have already deduced something. Let me give it a try." At the same time, he had already started refining the pellets.

"Nie Zhen, you …" Elder Tianhuo wanted to advise Nie Zhen to stay calm and not to act rashly. We should discuss this first, but Nie Zhen had already opened the furnace and thrown in all the ingredients.

If Nie Zhen started to concoct pills, he could not be interrupted rashly, or else he would fail if he was interrupted. Seeing that Nie Zhen had already started to concoct pills, Elder Tianhuo and the others could not stop him, and they could only silently hope that Nie Zhen would succeed.

"Nie Zhen attacked again?" Everyone in the stands had been waiting for a long time, they never thought that the person who was concocting the pill this time would be Nie Zhen.

"I hope he can continue creating miracles …" Seeing that it was Nie Zhen who had acted, Duan Rong could only silently pray for him in his heart.

In fact, in the hearts of the sect masters of Duobao Sect, Nie Zhen's chances of advancing were higher than Elder Tianhuo. After all, Elder Tianhuo did not have Nie Zhen's methods in the Alchemy Dao.

"This fellow..." Although Hsiao Yan was still calculating in his heart, when he saw that the opponent who had once defeated him actually made a move, he could not help but pay attention to the direction of Nie Zhen.

In fact, it was not only Hsiao Yan, many people in the arena looked towards Nie Zhen. When they had no clues, observing the opponent was also a way to solve the problem. Moreover, if someone really succeeded, then the method could be used as a reference.

However, as Nie Zhen continued to refine pills, the people around him realized that Nie Zhen did not have any extraordinary pill forging skills. It was almost the same as the first time, there wasn't much of a difference.

"Tsk, I thought he had some good idea, but it turns out he was unwilling …" Some people in the stands were already making sounds of disdain. From their point of view, Nie Zhen might have felt like he had a problem for the first time and wanted to try again.

In their eyes, this was a complete waste, wasting away the few opportunities that they had.

"He's too naive. Hsiao Yan, you overestimated him too much." Hsiao Dan looked at Nie Zhen, then said to Hsiao Yan lightly.

Hsiao Dan actually valued Nie Zhen, who could defeat her own disciple. However, from Nie Zhen's current performance, he might not be able to get any attention from him.

However, Nie Zhen's expression was getting more and more confident. When he was about to put the potion into the primer, Nie Zhen actually gave up on this step and continued refining the True Fire.

"Did he forget the next step?" At this time, the disciples in the stands were asking questions. Those who didn't know how to concoct pills naturally couldn't remember the steps of the recipe. They only felt that at this stage, Nie Zhen should continue doing something.

However, Sovereign Tai Yi's expression gradually became more serious as the surrounding voices of the crowd became more and more pessimistic.

In the next second, Nie Zhen's pill furnace started to burn. However, it was very different from the fire that exploded earlier.

Suddenly, everyone on the stage stopped thinking and looked towards Nie Zhen, because Nie Zhen's situation was different from everyone before. Among his Pill Cauldron, there was a faint smell of pills.

"This child actually …" At this moment, Hsiao Dan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Nie Zhen was a martial artist with great talent, something she had never seen before in her life.

At this moment, Sovereign Tai Yi also suddenly stood up and stared at Nie Zhen in shock. He exclaimed, "What the hell!"

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Nie Zhen slowly smiled and said, "Third round, I've entered a meditative state!"
