NOVEL WEB Chapter 162 The difficulty rises suddenly
"Li Chen Dan is a second-level top-grade elixir. It is very difficult to refine and contains very little erysipelas. Therefore, it is quite famous in the Yanzhou alchemy world. I hope you can use all your strength!"
As soon as the pudgy general finished speaking, the crowd in the surrounding auditorium suddenly became excited.
"What? Second-level top-quality elixir?"
"It turns out to be the Lichen Pill. It is said that the difficulty of refining this pill is comparable to that of a third-level pill. This question is too difficult."
"That's wrong. Look at these alchemists who have advanced to the second round. Each of them is a young talent with extraordinary strength. They always have a way to successfully refine it."
There was a lot of chatter from the crowd, and everyone lamented how difficult this second game was.
On the high platform, General Du stood up, looked around, and interrupted everyone's discussion with a deep voice.
"Okay, without further ado, the second round of competition will begin immediately."
After General Du said that, he stretched out his right hand forward, his spiritual power was running wildly, and then he grabbed the void, and the jade boxes that had been piled beside the stands leaped into the hands of the alchemists.
General Du's face brightened slightly when he saw everyone's swift movements, and he continued.
"You can choose any spiritual material and refine a dust-free pill. The losers will be eliminated. The five hundred alchemists who refine it first will be directly qualified to enter the third level!"
"Yes!"
Everyone on the stage responded softly, staring at the spiritual grass in their hands, lost in thought.
Although the process of refining the elixir is simple, the Li Chen elixir is not easy to refine. This elixir contains a large amount of monster beast sinews, bones and fur as auxiliary materials, making it extremely difficult to process.
If you want to handle this kind of medicinal material well, in addition to precise mastery of spiritual power, you must have a strong body and skillful fire control ability, which is not lacking in all the alchemists here.
However, the competition time was limited, and everyone did not spend a lot of time meditating to recover when they were mentally and physically exhausted as usual.
Therefore, the difficulty in refining this elixir is to reasonably allocate the mental consumption.
Everyone present, except Qin Mu who immediately started refining, the remaining alchemists were all lost in thought.
Zhou Yiqiao held his breath and concentrated, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, as if he had fallen into a state of trance.
In fact, this elixir is not difficult for him with strong spiritual consciousness. The reason why he is like this is to wait for others to come up with a way to avoid being too conspicuous and making others jealous.
In this way, a full time of burning incense passed, and suddenly there was a sound of lighting a fire in the square.
Everyone followed the sound and found that it was Zhao Wuchen from the Zhao family.
Zhao Wuchen wore a white brocade robe that showed his unique temperament. He crossed his long legs and officially started refining the Lichen Pill.
As if not to be outdone, Wang Haoyu and Ling Tianyu instantly opened their eyes and started refining the Lichen Pill.
The actions of the three seemed to open up the minds of the alchemists. More and more alchemists stopped thinking and devoted themselves to refining the Lichen Pill.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Yiqiao stood up unhurriedly and lit the Five Elements Gathering Furnace in front of him.
"laugh!"
The Five Elements Gathering Furnace instantly burned red, and the surrounding spiritual energy quickly poured into the furnace.
Following the movements of Zhou Yiqiao's hands, precious spiritual grasses were quickly thrown into the furnace, and then divided into pieces and suspended at the bottom of the furnace.
Zhou Yiqiao strengthened the spiritual power input into the alchemy furnace, and the flames instantly increased, purifying and refining the main medicinal materials one by one.
After a while, the fire went out, and he put several purified spiritual plant solutions into a jade bottle, sat cross-legged and meditated, pretending to have recovered his spiritual power.
Purifying spiritual plants requires one go at a time, and Zhou Yiqiao is too skilled. Even if he is the last one to start the furnace, his speed is still higher. At this moment, he has to stop and wait for others to catch up.
Wang Haoyu and the others were not slow in their movements, and quickly caught up with Zhou Yiqiao's progress.
"Humph!"
Wang Haoyu glanced at Zhou Yiqiao, who was recovering his spiritual power, and sneered.
"Pretentious!"
Although this person was reluctant, his movements did not slow down. After putting the spiritual liquid into the jade bottle, Wang Haoyu immediately turned around and dealt with the piles of monster beasts' muscles, bones, and fur.
Zhou Yiqiao ignored this. After most of the alchemists had completed the first step, he slowly stood up and started processing the monster materials.
"call."
Breathing out a breath of turbid air, Zhou Yiqiao injected spiritual power into the furnace again and ignited the flames in the furnace.
The monster's flesh and blood made a sound that made the pores stand upside down as it was roasted by the flames. The pungent smell impacted everyone's senses, forcing many monks present to seal their nostrils.
As time passed, the flesh and blood of the monster beast was finally purified. Zhou Yiqiao withdrew his spiritual power and slammed the furnace body.
A drop of scarlet blood flew out and fell into Zhou Yiqiao's palm.
This thing is the essence of flesh and blood condensed from the sinews, bones, and fur of monster beasts.
On the high platform in the distance, Master Henggui looked at Zhou Yiqiao's skillful skills and whispered to Elder Mao on the side.
"Old Taotie, your nephew is really secretive! I didn't expect that his level of alchemy is so high. If he is given another two years of training, I am afraid that except for Qin Mu from Central Continent, no one else will be his. Opponent!"
After listening to Master Henggui's words, Elder Mao stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
"You old ghost finally said something humane. You must know that my nephew has never been a disciple for so many years. He has developed this level by himself bit by bit."
"Just watch. From what I know about the boy, he must be clumsy in the last round."
Hearing this, Master Henggui smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Young people should be determined to forge ahead. Why is this guy so young and so hesitant like us old guys?"
Elder Mao's eyes narrowed to a slit, as if he wanted to be heard by others, and his voice was much louder.
"Being determined to make progress is a character that only second-generation immortals whose ancestors have been overshadowed by their ancestors deserve to have. For people like Nephew Zhou Xian who have no power to protect them, the best policy is to be cautious."
"Isn't this how we came here in the first place?"
"Hey... you and I are both half buried in the ground, how can we compare with that brat."
While the real people were listening to the two elders bickering, someone in the field had already completed the refining of the Lichen Pill.
"Om~"
The fragrance of elixir fills the air, the rich elixir halo shines with golden light, and an unusually mellow medicinal fragrance fills every corner of the square.
Everyone looked at Qin Mu on the stage in surprise. He was indeed a genius alchemist born in Central Continent. Not only was he the fastest, his quality was no longer on the same level as the others.
I saw the young man putting the Lichen Pill into the jade bottle, completely ignoring the sight of the people around him, jumping lightly and flying towards the real people on the high platform.
