Chapter 104: Problem With The Pill Recipe

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The rewards from the Alchemy Sect were extremely generous.

The top 20 could join the Alchemy Sect.

One had to know that the threshold of the Alchemy Sect was extremely high. The Alchemy Sect was the orthodox Alchemy Sect in the continent. How many inheritances and pill formulas did they possess?

These were all things that Alchemists dreamed of and was also the foundation of the alchemy sect.

The third place could also obtain the Sky Spirit Grass, which was an extremely rare treasure.

Many Earth-rank medicinal pills needed this item! It was something that could only be chanced upon and not sought after.

The second place could obtain an Earth-rank pill furnace.

As for the reward for first place, it would be an Essence Soul Pill that could help the soul break through!

It was not only useful for a Qianyuan Realm expert to break through to the Void God Realm.

To alchemists, other than pill furnaces and pill formulas, the most important thing was the power of the soul!

The power of the soul was difficult to increase to begin with. The Essence Soul Pill could directly break through the soul realm and enter half-step into the Divine Soul Realm!

This was extremely tempting.

All the participating alchemists’ eyes were filled with fanaticism!

In the audience seats, many people from aristocratic families and sects were sizing up the actions of the alchemists.

Even though they could not rope in the top 20 alchemists, other than the top 20 alchemists, they were all people they wanted to rope in!

It was impossible for a sect and aristocratic family to develop without an Alchemy Master.

Mu Wan’er was also in the audience with a separate special seat in their auditorium which was arranged with the Mu family’s power.

“Eh, I see Uncle!” Mu Wan’er grinned and pointed at the center of the crowd.

Uncle Li also looked over, but his expression was extremely calm.

A fourth-grade Alchemy Master was not enough for him to take a few more glances.

Lu Changsheng looked at the materials in front of him.

There were only three sets of these materials, which meant that he only had three chances.

The ingredients had been used up and the pill had yet to be formed.

Even if was a failure, he naturally could not use his own materials either. This was against the rules.

Lu Changsheng looked at the pill formula.

The Fire Return Pill was an excellent cultivation pill for cultivators who cultivated the Fire Intent.

It was of High-Grade Mystic-Tier and could be said to be a relatively difficult pill to refine among the Mystic-Tier cultivators.

The others looked at the pill formula and pondered.

There were also people who started refining with confident smiles.

As for Lu Changsheng, he remained silent.

When Hu Qing saw this scene, he was not worried.

Naturally, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t be stumped by a mere Fire Return Pill.

Mu Wan’er placed her finger on her lips and asked curiously, “Uncle, why haven’t you started?”

Uncle Li said indifferently, “It should be difficult for him. The Fire Return Pill is still difficult for a fourth-grade Alchemy Master.”

Of course, Uncle Li was wrong.

It was not too difficult for Lu Changsheng, it was just that he had never seen the Fire Return Pill before!

He could only look at the medicinal properties, compare the ingredients, and deduce how to refine it.

“Hmm… this should work.”

“But it can still be perfected…”

Time passed slowly.

Someone’s pill furnace emitted black smoke.

There were also people whose furnaces exploded and they were injured by it. Their faces were filled with confusion. They were clearly following the formula step-by-step. Why did they fail?

“The pill formula you gave me is wrong, right? Why did I fail to refine according to the pill formula?” A man questioned loudly.

When one of the elders saw this, he said indifferently, “If an alchemist can’t appraise the pill formula himself, it will be difficult for him to be self-sufficient. Naturally, he will fail.”

The man’s expression turned ugly, with a cold snort, he flicked his sleeves and left the venue.

Gradually, more people failed, of course, there were also people who succeeded.

One man held the elixir and walked towards the elders’ seats with a confident smile. Someone in the audience recognized this person.

“It’s Zhong Li from the central region, a seventh-grade alchemy Master!”

“I remember that Zhong Li was roped in by many families and sects, but he didn’t agree.”

“Of course. Zhong Li only wants to join the Alchemy Sect.”

Zhong Li had already handed the pill to the elder.

The elder took it and looked at it. He nodded slightly and said, “Fire Return Pill, 40% impurities. Pass.”

There were only 40% impurities!

One had to know that it was extremely difficult to suppress impurities within 50% of the refinement of the Fire Return Pill!

Zhong Li smiled and bowed respectfully. Then, he left the venue and sat in the audience.

The first round was not difficult for him.

Immediately after, another few people completed it.

“Du Qiuying, 50% impurity, pass.”

“Yang Mo, 40% impurities, pass.”

“Xie Yuanren, 30% impurities! Pass.”

30% impurities!

Xie Yuanren was also an influential figure in the Central Region.

It was also the target that everyone wanted to rope in, but the other party was also concerned about the Alchemy Sect.

Zhong Li also looked at Xie Yuanren.

Xie Yuanren also looked at Zhong Li provocatively.

Obviously, the two of them knew each other.

At this moment, the elder looked at the sky and said, “There’s still an incense stick’s worth of time left. Once the time is up, those who haven’t completed it will lose their qualifications.”

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

Some people felt even more pressured.

As a result, in the process of forming the pill at the last step, he was distracted and directly failed!

Naturally, the elders would not give him a second chance.

After all, temperament was equally important to alchemists!

At this time, Mu Wan’er looked in Lu Changsheng’s direction and said, “Uncle, are you still not done? It’s almost time.”

Uncle Li slowly shook his head.

At this time, it had yet to begin, so it was naturally impossible to complete it.

Anxiety appeared on Hu Qing’s face.

What was Changsheng doing?

“Hmm? There’s still someone there who hasn’t started?”

“Don’t tell me he doesn’t know how to refine the Fire Return Pill?”

“Sigh, alchemists nowadays are getting more and more exaggerated.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was still thinking.

“Since this Fire Return Pill can increase the cultivation speed of a cultivator’s

Fire Intent, isn’t this material too gentle?”

“Yes, let’s just use two sets.”

“Eh, I can’t put this ingredient in. Is there something wrong with the pill formula?”

Lu Changsheng also realized that there was something wrong with the recipe. Therefore, he shook his head and started refining and extracting according to his own thoughts.

Everyone turned to look at him who just started.

“Oh? All the ingredients were thrown into the pill furnace just like that?”

“Could it be that he’s prepared to take a gamble since he doesn’t have enough time?”

“What’s the use? This refinement method will definitely fail.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t care what the outside world thought.

He extracted the materials one by one.

Then, he began to form the pill!

“Huh?”

“Has the refinement been completed?”

“So fast. Didn’t the extraction fail?”

Uncle Li also looked surprised.

Mu Wan’er stared intently at this scene.

Hu Qing clenched his fists tightly, hoping that nothing would go wrong. There was not enough time to refine it a second time after all!

Half of the incense stick was left.

Lu Changsheng’s furnace was gradually emitting the fragrance of elixirs! He slapped the furnace and a few pills shot out! He took them and walked to the elders’ seating area.

At this moment, the others had either succeeded or failed.

Lu Changsheng was the last one to complete the test!

Success or failure would depend on the elders’ judgment..
