In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.
As fewer and fewer materials appeared, everyone felt that the chances of success were getting slimmer and slimmer.
However, Bai Ruyue was still looking around, so in the next hour, only she took out the materials twice, while no one else came out.
But the results were still unsatisfactory.
"It's useless. We've finished looking through all the materials here. There's nothing we can replace!" Third Elder shook his head and said the truth that no one wanted to accept, but he had finished testing all the materials in the three rows of books.
"I think we should look at something else." Bai Ruyue raised a different point of view at this time.
"Other things? We are here to forge a poison antidote, a poison antidote, see what other uses do you have! " Mu Furong who did not submit the materials even once immediately opened her mouth to refute.
Bai Ruyue looked at her, and just as she was about to speak, Hanyu opened her mouth and said: "There is nothing wrong with anything else. Most of the herbs have a second and third attribute, as long as it is combined with some special medicine, the medicinal properties will be released!"
"That's right, the second and third attributes of these medicines are not as strong as the first attribute. Although the effects would be a little less, the corresponding toxicity would also be a little less."
Yun Yufei's response immediately garnered the approval of everyone, and thus, the second round of large area search began.
However, searching through large areas was definitely not a simple task. Previously, it took him six hours to find all the materials involved in the three rows of bookshelves. Given that it was only fourteen hours, how could he possibly search through all of them?
After spending an hour without any progress, Bai Ruyue found the Grand Elder and suggested his plan.
"The five elders have been exploring Pill Path s for a long time, so they have a good understanding of the materials, and can directly list the second and third attribute materials. If we search for them, we should be able to exclude a lot of useless materials."
"But why are there over ten thousand herbs with the second and third attributes …"
"We can practice with the diagrams. We don't need to rely on pill forging and the antidote to verify the results!" Bai Ruyue urgently advised:
"You are all alchemists, and you have a lot of experience. You can definitely eliminate at least two-thirds of the ingredients. As for the remaining ingredients, everyone will start to practice separately. Moreover, you don't need to form a pill.
Grand Elder immediately nodded in agreement.
Thus, after the ink and paper had been prepared, the five elders began to list the materials and cut them out one by one.
After tossing and turning for about four hours, there were about three thousand unidentifiable things left.
The five Elders began their experience estimation and deduction. After almost two hours, only thirteen hundred materials remained.
Therefore, this depends on the condensed part to verify the observation.
However, the problem was that there were only six and a half hours left.
"Hurry up! Everyone, move! We need to test with your soul power and experience!" Under Grand Elder's urging, everyone started to take the pill refining test.
Bai Ruyue did not dare to be careless, and quickly took out her fire beast. Immediately, a few people who had never seen her before asked curiously:
"What kind of fire beast is this!"
"Why does it look like this?"
"What a fat chicken, so ugly and obedient!"
"If I wasn't so close, I would have thought he was a little fat pig!"
As they chattered away, the originally valiant and spirited Gray Chicken seemed as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it. Not only did it instantly turn frosty and listless, it even stretched its head forward, wanting to drill into Bai Ruyue's embrace.
His pride was severely hurt, and he felt it was the most comfortable staying ten feet away from Berry.
Bai Ruyue looked at the arrogant Gray Chicken, and turned into a runaway ostrich. She could only say loudly: "There isn't much time left, you all better hurry up and refine pills!"
Then, she quickly carried the Gray Chicken to the side and tried her best to comfort it.
"Don't be angry. There are many people that do not know their place. They look down on you and you want to prove that you are not capable?"
She held the Gray Chicken and encouraged him softly. "We don't have much time left, if you help us find a suitable substitute at the last moment, you will be a great hero!"
The Gray Chicken glanced at Bai Ruyue, and then raised its head again, flapping its almost negligible little wings, and said without a sound: Come!
After setting up the furnace, Bai Ruyue began to set up the sets of ingredients, and the Gray Chicken also started to spew fire.
Although it could not release the divine flame, it was still an absolute high-grade fire essence. In less than ten breaths of time, the material had entered the congealed phase, Bai Ruyue immediately released her soul power to feel the medicinal effects of the furnace.
"This won't do, we'll do it again!" She quickly judged, quickly poured out the dregs, and came back.
By the time the Grand Elder was fast enough to test the inadequacy of the two rounds, she had already finished four rounds. As for the others, their progress was not even worth mentioning.
Two hours later, there were only a thousand other materials left out of a thousand three hundred.
Four hours later, there were still 700 different materials left, but only a single hour and a half had passed.
This was definitely not enough to complete the test.
"I have an idea!" Bai Ruyue knew that she was in a hurry, so she had no choice but to come up with an even bolder idea.
"Speak!"
"All of us have pretty good soul power. Rather than feeling the changes from one furnace at a time, it would be a waste of time. Why don't we see the changes from two to three furnaces?"
To do two or three things at once was nothing surprising in the history of alchemy.
Normally, this was only possible if the soul power of an apothecary was powerful enough. Furthermore, his control over fire had already reached perfection!
However, in many cases, this was impossible because when it came to the Containment Pill, the Quenching Pill would almost certainly be destroyed.
It could be said that the proposal itself was too whimsical.
However, this was just a test of the medicinal properties of the pill. It didn't need to be refined. As long as one was able to condense the pill instantly, the requirements would be much lower!
As long as his soul power was strong enough, he would be able to monitor even more.
Thus, under everyone's astonished expressions, the Grand Elder directly nodded his head.
Following which, more cauldrons were brought out, and each one of them was placed in accordance to their own soul power levels.
Grand Elder had four cauldrons, the other elders had three, the cold jade and the Young Master Yun had two, while Bai Ruyue had three after looking at everyone.
With her soul power, it wouldn't be a problem for her to take ten. But with her current body, taking five was the limit.
However, this wasn't the time to show off. If it weren't for her taking advantage of the moment to save him, she would have only played two tricks. But now, three moves were already very eye-catching.
"Grandfather, give me another cauldron!"
Just as Bai Ruyue sat down and was about to make her move, Mu Furong opened her mouth to ask for an additional cauldron.
There were already two cauldrons in front of her, and one more would make three!
He really wasn't falling behind at all!
