C2077 Pill Refining Competition
The rules of this alchemy competition did not require Ye Hongtian and the other participants to guess, but was directly announced by the old man.
After learning the rules of the competition, all the martial artists who chose to refine pills began to move. Their movements were almost identical. They placed the alchemy furnace prepared by the Jun Estate in front of them, and then began to condense a Pill Fire to warm the furnace.
Ye Hongtian thought that it would be best if he didn't use a special soul force alchemy furnace to refine pills at this time, so he also brought the alchemy furnace to the side in front of him.
At this time, he felt a gaze filled with hostility. He immediately turned his head to look. With one look, he saw the white-clothed martial artist at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm. The speed at which the other party changed his clothes was truly admirable. Only then did he pass through a teleportation array. Then, he changed back into white clothes.
The other party's hostility was very strong. It seemed like it was because he hadn't agreed to compete with him in alchemy. Moreover, Yu Fengxiao had mocked him in the secret chamber, as if he wanted to defeat Ye Hong Tian in this alchemy competition.
Unfortunately, Ye Hongtian was very confident in his alchemy skills. If the white clothed martial artist was only at the level of refining the Yang Converging Pill, then he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Ye Hongtian started to refine the pill. He carried the Purple Flame that was fused with various kinds of Heavenly Flames. The flames had just emerged from the bottom of the pill furnace when the entire pill furnace heated up. Then, he began to throw the medicinal herbs into the furnace. There was no order at all. This action shocked everyone present, including the old man who was watching from afar.
The old man seemed to feel that Ye Hong Tian's method was wrong. He slowly shook his head. Ye Hong Tian did not care about it. He just kept repeating the name of the herbs.
There were over 300 kinds of medicinal herbs in total, and it was more than enough to refine a medicinal pill that was at least at the middle awakening stage. The rules of the competition were that whoever had the highest quality medicinal pill would win, and these medicinal ingredients would be used. Ye Hong Tian could refine high grade Awakening Grade Detoxification Pills, high grade healing medicinal pills, poison attacking medicinal pills, explosive offensive medicinal pills, and all sorts of other medicinal pills.
The highest quality of the pills he could make was a Half-Step Holy Grade pill. After all, there was a Snow Mountain Bell Orchid among these materials. This Bell Orchid could only be found on the Snow Mountain of the Demon Continent. It grew in the Snow Mountain and absorbed the cold air. Refining all kinds of herbs could increase the success rate and quality of the pill.
Furthermore! Using the Snow Mountain Bell Orchid's cold air as the main ingredient, one could refine the Bell Orchid Iceheart Pill. It could allow a living person to enter the state of turtle breath for a short period of time. Even if a sage expert were to personally investigate... They would only think that the person who had consumed the Ice Heart Pill of the Ling Lan was dead.
Another function could allow a dying person to instantly recover from their injuries. The effect was several times better than that of the Ling Lan Hundred Rejuvenating Pill. The only drawback was that such a miraculous effect could only be found in a near-death state.
The pill that Ye Hong Tian wanted to refine now was the Linglan Ice Heart Pill. Although it was the first time he was refining it, Ye Hong Tian didn't feel that he would fail.
Because the pill furnace was not a soul power pill furnace, when he used his soul power to lift it up, it took a lot of effort. After that, he used his soul power to control the heating and refining of the various herbs in the pill furnace.
A quarter of an hour passed. Other than Ye Hongtian, the other martial artists had basically already refined out many bottles of medicinal liquid. Only Ye Hongtian's side didn't have a single bottle of medicinal liquid around him.
This kind of situation could also be understood by others. After all, Ye Hongtian had thrown all of the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace to refine. Naturally, he would not be able to refine the medicinal liquid.
Peng!
A disciple was distracted while refining pills, causing the pill furnace to explode. He had only lost a small amount of medicinal ingredients, and the pill furnace was not seriously damaged. He could continue refining.
Sizzle sizzle!
The other alchemist was frightened by the explosion of the pill furnace. Before he could store a bottle of medicinal liquid into the pill furnace, it was evaporated by his own Pill Fire.
At this instant, it seemed to be a chain reaction. Basically, everyone was making mistakes. There were only two or three alchemists who did not make mistakes. The white clothed martial artist at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm was one of these two or three people.
"It's done!"
Another fifteen minutes passed. Less than an hour had passed since the start of the competition. A female alchemist had finished concocting the pill. She was refining a kind of recovery pill that could awaken a middle-grade awakened pill. When the old man announced the rules, he said that the alchemist who could concoct the highest quality pill could obtain a place in the secret realm. Thus, she placed her focus on the quality of the pill. The pill that she was concocting was a middle-grade pill. It was one of the more powerful pills among the alchemists in the entire Zheng continent.
After this female alchemist, there were alchemists who finished concocting pills one after another. Most of them were at the middle Awakening level, and there were even alchemists who used rare materials to concoct low Awakening level pills.
Not far away, the white-clothed martial artist kept glancing at Ye Hongtian while he was concocting pills, trying to find out how Ye Hongtian was concocting pills.
However, Ye Hongtian had been doing the same thing ever since he started concocting pills. If it wasn't for the changes in the purple flame underneath the furnace, people would have thought that Ye Hongtian had fallen asleep while he was concocting pills.
After a period of time, the white-clothed martial artist's pill came out of the furnace. It was a high-grade Awakening Rank pill. Moreover, its quality was very good, belonging to the superior grade.
When everyone saw the pill that the white-clothed martial artist refined, they all revealed dispirited expressions. They only thought that among the medicinal pills that they refined, the white-clothed martial artist's medicinal pill was the best. Not only was it a high-grade Awakening Rank pill, but it was also a high-grade one. To an alchemist at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, being able to refine such a pill was truly impressive.
The old man who had been watching the crowd refine the medicinal pill had already arrived beside the white-clothed martial artist. He held the medicinal pill that he had refined in his hand and sized it up carefully. Finally, he nodded his head in satisfaction.
Sweeping his gaze across the pill refinement room, only Ye Hongtian remained. He had not seen Ye Hongtian extract the medicinal liquid from the pill furnace from the beginning until the end. It was as though he was still at the stage of refining the medicinal liquid.
The white-clothed martial artist who had been ridiculed by Yu Fengxiao earlier could not hold it in anymore at this time. He walked towards Ye Hongtian and began to ridicule him.1
"Oh, a junior at the seventh level of the Awakening Realm is still working hard. Tsk, tsk, tsk. However, it looks like your refinement is a little difficult. Do you want me, this senior, to teach you how to refine the medicinal liquid? Hahaha! "
After saying this, the white-clothed martial artist even began to laugh. However, Ye Hongtian ignored him. Instead, the old man beside him was extremely dissatisfied with the white-clothed martial artist's actions.
" The pill refining room needs to be quiet. Don't you even know this basic common sense? Everyone be quiet. There is still plenty of time. We can wait. " The old man said seriously.
As the old man spoke, Ye Hongtian had already turned around to look at the old man. His gaze was like a scrutinizing gaze, causing the old man to feel slightly uncomfortable.
BANG!
A muffled sound was emitted from the pill furnace in front of Ye Hongtian. Immediately following that, grey smoke and dust spread out from the crack in the furnace lid. This kind of situation was most familiar to alchemists. It was a failure in condensing the pill!
