Almost an incense's time after Lin Long's successful refinement was over, there was someone who successfully refined it. The second person who refined it was Huang Yuan.

After Huang Yuan was that Li Cheng. After Li Cheng, two people actually failed to connect together. Even though they were extremely close to success, in the end, the two of them still failed.

After failure, they could only helplessly walk down the kung fu stage.

At this time, there were only two people on top of kung fu stage who were currently busy refining pellets. One was Lin Shiyin, and the other was Gu Qi.

Lin Shiyin's small cauldron released a strong medicinal fragrance, it was clear that she had a very high chance of success. As for Gu Qi, he was still in the middle stages of the refinement, it was still hard to say if he would succeed.

Sure enough, not long after, muffled "bang" sounds came out of Lin Shiyin's small cauldron, following that, she took out a pill from her small cauldron.

After Dong Jianwu and a few other alchemists appraised the pill, they confirmed that it was Supreme Purity Pill. In other words, Lin Shiyin had successfully refined it and successfully entered the next round.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Qi.

On the contrary, Gu Qi who was on the stage, acted as if he did not notice the changes in his surroundings, as he continued to concentrate on the small cauldron in front of him.

This was already the last batch of materials. He was not allowed to make even the slightest mistake.

After approximately an incense's time, Gu Qi managed to withstand the pressure and finally succeeded in refining the Supreme Purity Pill. At this time, he finally let out a long sigh.

"As expected of the number one person among the young generation of Alchemists Union. Even though such an accident happened, she was still able to refine the Supreme Purity Pill with her own strength in the end."

Seeing Gu Qi being like this, many people in the audience gasped in admiration. In their eyes, if it was them, they would simply not be able to withstand such pressure.

And just like that, five people finally entered the next round. These five people were Lin Long, Gu Qi, Lin Shiyin, Li Cheng, and Huang Yuan.

Out of the five people, three were Alchemists Union. This made everyone sigh at the strength of the Alchemists Union, and it also proved that the future of the central region's medicine refining world was still within the grasp of the Alchemists Union.

Logically speaking, after experiencing so many rounds of competition, it should be possible to rest for a while. After all, for such a long period of time, the competitors should have consumed a lot of energy.

But to their surprise, after the time it took to make a cup of tea, Dong Jianwu announced the start of the competition.

Dong Jianwu first explained, "I believe many people do not understand why the competition started so quickly. This is because the competition is a test of one's ability to refine pills, and it also tests the strength of one's spiritual will. After all, divine will is very important to the process of refining pills.

"Teacher Dong is right, this is the same principle as cutting materials. Only by sharpening the Divine Sense can the pill refining material be easily chopped off."

Dong Jianwu's words were praised by many who nodded their heads. They were in contact with alchemy and knew the effect of telepathic thoughts on the pill refining process.

"In such a long period of time, Lin Long did not use his spirit fire, so, if he does not use it quickly, there is obviously more hope for him."

"You can't put it like that, without spirit fire, he would not have the advantage in pill refining. Lin Long might have been lucky, and managed to get past the Supreme Purity Pill.

"This is a double-edged sword. There are pros and cons."

Everyone was discussing below the stage, and no one was looking down on Lin Long anymore, but because Lin Long did not have any Spirit Fire, no one held any hope for him.

"The next round's elixirs will be Grade 3 Earth Yuan Pills." Dong Jianwu said.

Hearing Dong Jianwu's words, the few people on the stage revealed worried expressions. It was no wonder that they were worried, because the difficulty of refining the Nine Revolving Earth Pill was even higher than that of the Supreme Pills.

The audience, on the other hand, nodded their heads in agreement. In their opinion, the most suitable pill was the most difficult pill to refine in such a critical round.

"Instructor Dong, can you use your own Cauldron?" At this time, Huang Yuan suddenly asked.

Even though he had successfully refined quite a few Nine Revolving Earth Pills, due to the extreme difficulty, he had basically used his own Cauldron. At this moment, he was worried that he would not succeed using the Alchemists Union's normal cauldron.

The reason for this situation was that the Cauldron was very important to the success rate of refining a medicinal pill. A good Cauldron could even increase the success rate by a lot.

"No, if you use your own Cauldron, then it would be unfair to some people." Dong Jianwu immediately whether or not he would activate it.

Seeing Dong Jianwu like that, Huang Yuan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

"Only by using an ordinary medicinal cauldron can one test the strength of an alchemist, so I agree with the rules of the competition." Gu Qi suddenly said. His expression was extremely proud, as if he had complete confidence in refining the Nine Revolving Earth Pill.

Previously, he had been disgraced by Lin Long, so he naturally wanted to grab this opportunity to show off his strength. Moreover, he had already charged past the Nine Revolutions Earth Pill a few months ago, and was extremely confident in this.

"From the looks of it, Senior Gu seems to be extremely confident in this Nine Revolutions Earth Pill."

"Of course, Senior Brother Gu is the number one person in our Alchemists Union's younger generation."

"If he can't refine it, then none of the people on the stage can."

Seeing Gu Qi like that, many people in the audience praised him.

"Alright, let's start with the medicinal herbs. After that, let's begin the competition."

As soon as Dong Jianwu finished speaking, a Alchemists Union disciple walked up onto the stage with a newly prepared ingredient to refine the Nine Revolving Earth Pill.

After all, the Nine Revolving Earth Pill was not an ordinary pill, so the ingredients were not prepared in time.

Five people meant five portions of materials, so five people walked up with five portions of materials.

Just then, an accident suddenly occurred on the stage. A disciple of Alchemists Union accidentally fell down while walking past Li Cheng's table, to the point that the materials in his hands fell to the ground. It wasn't important, but even Li Cheng's table was flipped over by him.

Due to something unexpected happening, Li Cheng was not able to grab hold of the small cauldron that fell from the table, thus, it crashed onto the ground and shattered into pieces.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." This disciple who had caused trouble hurriedly apologized in an incomparably flustered manner.

He really couldn't understand why he would suddenly step on something and fall down just like that.

The materials dropped were not damaged, and as for the broken cauldron, it was not worth much, so Dong Jianwu only frowned, and said: Pick up the materials on the ground, and change the broken cauldron into another one.

The last sentence was naturally said to the person in charge of preparing the tools.

With Li Cheng's help, the Troublemaker Disciple hurriedly picked up all the ingredients and placed them beside Li Cheng before nervously leaving. Not long after, a new medicinal cauldron was placed on Li Cheng's table, which had already been righted.

At this time, the other people's materials were already stored.

"The first round of the competition has officially begun."

Following Dong Jianwu's words, the round of the competition officially began.

The five people on stage immediately began to configure the materials.

This time, Lin Long spent more time on the ingredients than the Supreme Purity Pill just now. However, he was still far ahead of the others.

"This Lin Long is really powerful."

The people below the stage could not help but exclaim in admiration. At this time, no one dared to underestimate Lin Long again.

Many of the grandmaster level alchemists couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, because they knew that even if they had attacked Lin Long, their speed would definitely not be faster than him.

Of course, just because the ingredients were fast did not mean that the pill refining power was strong, it was just one of the stages. So, to see how strong he was, it still depended on Lin Long being able to concoct the Nine Revolving Earth Pill.

This time, Lin Long still used ordinary flames.

Due to Lin Long's previous success in refining the Supreme Purity Pill, even though he did not know why Lin Long did not use his spirit fire, Lin Shiyin's worry was not as strong as before.

Very quickly, the other four people had successfully made the ingredients and started the true refinement. However, the fastest one among them was also slower than Lin Long by two cups of tea.2

After this, the few of them still took out their Spiritual Flames.

Even though the time it took to refine a pill seemed very long, the attention of everyone present was basically focused on these few people. Amongst these people's medicinal cauldrons, the scene was extremely quiet and no one felt bored at all.

Not long after, another wave of exclamations came from the left side of the stage.

"Senior Gu is truly amazing, to actually be able to grasp even this Fire Dragon Ape Pearl."

"Too dazzling. When will I be able to do this?"

"You should forget about it. Only a tier four alchemist can learn and grasp this Fire Dragon Theatre Pearl."

"Ah! Senior Brother Gu is already a Grade Four Alchemist?"

"Looks like Gu Qi definitely got first place in this match."

"Ah, a fourth tier alchemist. Senior brother Gu, I want to marry you!"

After such an exclamation, the entire audience started to boil. It was because Gu Qi had used the skill that only fourth tier alchemists possessed, the Fire Dragon Ape Bead. As a fourth tier alchemist, the skill of the Fire Dragon Bead could even heat up the medicinal ingredients in the cauldron, thus increasing the success rate.

Of course, what surprised everyone the most was Gu Qi's display of strength. He was a fourth tier Alchemist, and furthermore, Gu Qi was so young, he was only twenty-five years old. He could be said to be the most outstanding genius in all of Alchemists Union over the years.

With his strength, he would definitely be able to take over his mentor's mantle and become the president of the Alchemists Union in the future.

How could Everyone at the scene not praise such a person for his strength.
