C221 Shocking the Crowd
"Bam!"
Following the eruption of the white mist from the pill furnace, Lingyun gradually withdrew his Purple Cloud Flame and formed a seal to improve the quality of the pill.
Just like this, in less than a cup of tea's time, the Purple Cloud Fire was completely recycled. However, the pill furnace had become abnormally calm, as if it had never been used before.
"Can it be that this person has failed to forge the pill?"
"I think it must be."
"This kid probably doesn't want to lose face in public, so he doesn't dare to confirm what's going on inside the pill furnace."
"That might not be the case. After all, the calmness on that guy's face doesn't seem to be the case. Perhaps he has some kind of trump card."
"Let's continue watching."
Of course, after seeing Lingyun successfully refine the pellet in less than five minutes, the crowd that was watching started to discuss among themselves.
However, those with sharp eyes basically knew that Lingyun Fan did not dare to open the furnace to check because of the failure of his pill concocting. He was just not in a hurry.
Cang Yu and Mu Bingyun, who also had a good relationship with him, naturally believed that he could obtain first place.
Along with the sound of the bell ringing, the alchemists who were participating in the competition all stopped what they were doing. It was obvious that they had just finished collecting the pills, although some of them had just finished concocting the pills in time, but there were also a lot of people who were so anxious that they had made a mistake in condensing the pills, causing them to be directly destroyed.
A burst of explosive fire burst out, causing their faces to turn black, making them feel that it was laughable.
"Damn it!"
"Just a little more. Give me a little more time and the pill will take shape …"
"Sigh, why was it like that? Just now, I almost succeeded in refining it!"
"I refuse to accept this. Why can't I give you a bit more time?"
Not long after, the young disciples who had failed to concoct pills began to mourn. They looked as if they were family members who had died, and upon seeing this, they couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.
"This is the young competition held by the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. You cannot afford to be presumptuous, you are given three minutes to scram!"
Not long after they finished speaking, the old woman's face darkened. She secretly used her Spiritual Energy to strengthen her voice as she let out a furious roar.
Although the old lady's voice was as powerful as a sound wave attack, it did not contain any killing intent. Furthermore, it was directed towards those who took the opportunity to cause trouble. Thus, other than Ling Yun and the rest, who were attacking with a loud voice, they did not pose any threat.
It could be said that her words represented everything. It was precisely because of this that those who had been warned did not dare to stay, and all of them left with their tails between their legs.
That speed was as fast as it could get. It was as if they were afraid of being killed, yet in just a few seconds, they had all disappeared.
"Open the furnace and test the pills!"
The old woman didn't pay much attention to those who had fled. After slightly sweeping her eyes over the crowd of alchemists, she slowly spoke.
"Buzz buzz buzz …" "Buzz buzz..."
As the old woman finished speaking, the young disciples of the competition all opened the lid of the pill furnace one by one. In an instant, all the pills within the pill furnace rose up into the air along with the spiritual energy.
All those who were able to gather here had outstanding attainments in alchemy, so the quantity of pills formed in the pill furnace was maintained at four or more of all kinds of quality. The few disciples of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion were even able to refine six pills, and five of them were average quality, only one pill was of high quality.
This result seemed incredible, but they weren't the best. This was because there was another person's pill furnace with eight Pulse Protection Pills floating in the air.
Six of these eight Pulse Protection Pills were of high quality, and two of them actually had patterns on their bodies that were like the meridians of a human body. Those were spirit tattoos!
When everyone looked over, they realized that it was Ling Yunfan.0
"This kid is not simple."
After discovering that Lingyun had actually obtained first place in the first round, the other Heavenly Pill Pavilion elders, with the exception of Yuan Huan, who had already seen his abilities, all revealed excited and astonished expressions.
"If none of the pills have reached the intermediate level, then you can leave and return to the place where you want to go!"
After staring blankly for a while, the old woman's calm voice rang out once again.
After hearing what she said, the number of young disciples, who originally numbered less than a few hundred, decreased to over a hundred.
Roughly one cup of tea later, after all the pill furnaces had been cleaned, the second round of the competition began once again. This time, the pill that was going to be refined was a High Spirit Cleansing Pill.
This was a pill that was used by those with inner demons to help them overcome their inner demons. The effects were not bad. Although it could not be used as a 100% success rate, it could increase their chances of success by quite a lot.
These pills were also of the harder type to concoct. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by the Heavenly Pill Pavilion as the topic of this competition.
Not long after, the group of young pill refiners, including Lingyun Fan, started their task of concocting pills.
This time around, perhaps because they had felt the heavy pressure coming from Ling Yun, those people who were originally filled with confidence turned incomparably serious. From their grave gazes, they knew that they could not compare to the other party, but at the very least, they did not want to lose too miserably, so they wanted to go all out.
Not just them, even the few Heavenly Pill Pavilion disciples were the same.
"..."
Just like this, a complete process passed. Three minutes later, Lingyun Fan's pills were completed. Just like before, he sat on the ground with his eyes closed and started to cultivate quietly.
"Elder sister, the Alchemy Spiritual Array that my husband used is very similar to the one passed down by the elder of my Spirit Clan. Did you teach him?" After looking at the Spiritual Array inscribed by Ling Yun Fan for the second time, Mu Han-Lan finally remembered why it looked so familiar.
"Eh, you saw through it?" After hearing her little sister's words, Mu Bingyun was first a little surprised, but then she slowly replied, "When we met again, I did a bit of a bad thing with my husband. At that time, in order to compensate him a little, I taught him everything else as well as the Spiritual Arrays."
