Chapter 52: The Alchemy Begins
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye, and finally, the Alchemy Conference began.
Early in the morning, Su Chen dressed neatly and walked out of the room with Su Yue.
Su Yue's expression was filled with excitement. After several days of studying, her interest in alchemy had grown stronger.
Her anticipation for this Alchemy Conference also grew stronger.
Outside the door, Bai Weiwei had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Su Chen come out, Bai Weiwei spoke, "Today, remember to perform well and don't let people from other sects steal the limelight."
Su Chen understood in his heart that Veiled Spirit Sect was currently in a weak period.
Although in the world of cultivation, practitioners from different sects do not interfere with each other, Veiled Spirit Sect, being an all-female sect, was special.
Once people from other sects discovered that Veiled Spirit Sect was no longer as strong as before, it would definitely be detrimental to Veiled Spirit Sect.
Su Chen and Bai Weiwei arrived at the venue.
People from other sects had already arrived at the scene. Bai Weiwei leaned close to Su Chen and quietly introduced the alchemists from various sects.
Apart from Wang Ye, Bai Ruxiang, and Bai Ze, most of the other young alchemists had mediocre talents, so there was no need to worry too much.
As Su Chen entered the venue, the gazes of several old men in the venue turned towards him. The process of Su Chen refining pills in the courtyard had left a deep impression on them.
That pill furnace was definitely not an ordinary treasure.
This Alchemy Conference was divided into two groups: one for those above 40 years old and another for those below 40 years old.
The people Su Chen was facing did not include those old monsters who studied alchemy.
Not far away, Wang Ye walked over and smiled, "Brother Su Chen, you're here!"
Su Chen smiled and then said, "We'll be opponents soon. I hope you'll go easy on me."
"Where would that be? My talent in alchemy definitely can't compare to yours," Wang Ye laughed.
Not far away, someone's gaze fell on Su Chen. Su Chen looked over and saw a cold face.
It was a young man, precisely Bai Ze from Donghua Mountain.
Bai Ze looked at Su Chen coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
Then, Bai Ze turned his head away.
Wang Ye spoke, "Don't mind that fool. He's always like that."
Su Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
The conference soon began, and the first round of competition was alchemy.
Each participant could select some medicinal ingredients and then refine them based on those ingredients.
Bai Weiwei said, "Go!"
Su Chen was stunned.
"Bai Senior Sister, aren't you going?"
"Of course not. Each sect can only have one participant. This opportunity is for you," Bai Weiwei said, lowering her head. "You must perform well and not make any mistakes. After you're done, I'll reward you."
As she spoke, Bai Weiwei's face turned red.
Su Chen nodded.
This Alchemy Conference was very important to Veiled Spirit Sect. Bai Weiwei entrusting this matter to him showed her trust in him.
Then, Su Chen walked to the medicinal ingredients and began selecting them.
These medicinal ingredients were all extremely precious, at least several decades old.
Su Chen selected a few medicinal ingredients and prepared to start refining. He did not activate the ability of the Unbounded Spirit Eye.
The innocent man understands the principle of being guilty by association.
If people from other sects were to find out about his ability to possess the Infinite Spirit Eye, he would definitely become a target of competition among the major sects.
At that time, Veiled Spirit Sect would inevitably encounter a lot of trouble.
Bai Weiwei on the sidelines also saw everything and couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart.
Su Chen's mind was still clear at the critical moment.
Very good!
Su Chen selected the medicinal materials and prepared to start refining the medicine.
In front of many alchemists, each had their own alchemy furnace.
Although these alchemy furnaces were not Law Weapons, they had been used for many years and were sufficient for these alchemists to produce good medicinal materials.
Su Chen focused his attention and began to classify the medicinal materials, preparing to start refining the medicine.
The medicinal materials chosen by Su Chen were the most suitable for refining the Bone Strengthening Pill.
This kind of pill was the most common, a drug that could transform one's physique, very common and easy to refine.
The reason why Su Chen chose to refine this medicinal material was because this pill was the simplest. Since the results of this alchemy competition were important, Su Chen had to make the most confident plan.
Su Chen placed the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, and then flames rose up from below the furnace.
This kind of green flame was most suitable for refining pills.
It was also the most necessary flame for alchemy. Su Chen nodded in satisfaction and then began to infuse spiritual energy into it.
The refining of the medicine required the guidance of spiritual energy in order to maximize the efficacy of the medicine.
Su Chen refined the medicinal materials into spiritual energy and slowly integrated them into the pill.
For Su Chen, who had already refined healing medicine for the senior sisters of Veiled Spirit Sect, this process was very simple.
Su Chen only needed to pay attention to the guidance of spiritual energy and ensure that there were no problems with the efficacy of the medicine.
Soon, the medicinal materials were refined.
Su Chen took out the pill, while other alchemists were still in the process of refining.
The alchemists who had finished had to patiently wait.
Su Chen looked up and found that Wang Ye had also finished, and the ones who finished together were Bai Ruxue and Bai Ze. These three people were rare geniuses in the alchemy world, so the people present were not too surprised.
But some people were surprised by Su Chen.
They had never seen Su Chen in the previous alchemy competitions. Could it be that another alchemy genius had emerged?
When everyone saw Bai Weiwei walking to Su Chen's side after he finished, they understood to some extent that someone who could replace Bai Weiwei was definitely not a simple alchemist.
Soon, many young alchemists finished refining the medicine.
Everyone presented their refined pills and patiently waited for the results.
Su Chen walked to Bai Weiwei's side and said, "Senior Sister Bai, I refined the Bone Strengthening Pill."
Bai Weiwei nodded.
Choosing to refine the simplest Bone Strengthening Pill was a good choice as it greatly reduced the difficulty of alchemy.
Soon, the results of the alchemy came out.
Bai Ruxue's Wash Marrow Pill, quality: Yellow Rank 5th Grade.
Bai Ze's Easy Muscle Pill, quality: Yellow Rank 4th Grade.
Wang Ye's Wash Marrow Pill, quality: Yellow Rank 4th Grade.
When these three people's pills were announced, many alchemists knew that these three had securely entered the next round.
These three types of pills were not easy to refine, and just the difficulty of making them was far higher than that of the Bone Strengthening Pill.
Moreover, the pills refined by these three people were of such high quality.
Wang Ye looked at Su Chen with gratitude in his eyes. If it weren't for Su Chen's inspiration that day, he wouldn't have been able to refine the Wash Marrow Pill.
