“Although he refined a superior grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill in the second round, which amazed everyone.” “But his level seems to be only at the second-rank level.”
“I thought he would have no use in the third round.”
“Who would have thought he would make a move at this critical moment?”
“It’s said that the Feng family’s alchemy formula requires 48 types of medicinal materials.”
“And now they’re on the 40th one, right?”
“Although there are still eight more to go, it’s undoubtedly extremely close to success!”
“This combination is indeed surprising.”
Even in the previous state, Xuening had already reached the limit of 40 kinds of medicinal materials.
Her full attention was focused on the Awakening Flower liquid droplets controlled by Su Jingzhen.
The Awakening Flower was a high-grade medicinal material, with each bloom extremely precious.
The quantity provided by the Feng family was comparable to the Bodhi liquid, one of the rarest materials.
Su Jingzhen couldn’t fully control this high-grade material like he did with the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
The pressure on him was intense.
Soon, Su Jingzhen manipulated the Awakening Flower liquid droplets to reach the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
At this moment, the people surrounding the alchemy platform, including those watching from a distance, all remained silent.
Their eyes were fixed on the ordinary alchemy furnace in front of Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
It was as if their spirits were tied to Su Jingzhen’s tension.
But the next moment, a sudden, ear-piercing hissing sound came from the alchemy furnace.
The Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators’ faces changed, with a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
With their spiritual awareness and perception, they naturally sensed the sound in the alchemy furnace.
The ten groups of alchemists on the platform had already failed numerous times.
They were all too familiar with this sound.
As the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators sighed, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the alchemy furnace in front of Xuening.
“Ah? Su Jingzhen failed on his first try?”
“He’s not quite up to par, after all.” seaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“What a pity, 40 medicinal materials!”
“This is already the closest to success on the entire alchemy platform.”
“Even looking at the current situation, other groups might not be able to reach 40 medicinal materials before sunset.”
“……”
Everyone who was paying attention had a hint of regret on their faces.
No one dared to mock Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s current achievement.
Among the Feng family members, Feng Mingyan’s killing intent grew stronger, but he remained silent.
However, in the next moment, everyone’s expressions changed again, filled with astonishment.
Because after the blue smoke rose, Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s faces didn’t show any signs of defeat.
Instead, they became even more tense.
Su Jingzhen then picked up the 42nd jade vial from the alchemy platform!
“Ah, what’s going on? Didn’t they already fail?”
“Since the Alchemist Conference these past two days, these two seem to have a very good mentality. They haven’t gone crazy because of this failure, right?”
“……”
Even many alchemists on the platform couldn’t understand what was going on.
Only Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang on the judging panel still had expectant expressions.
“The effect of the Awakening Flower is not to add it directly.
Instead, it is to extract the droplets from it and attach them to the energy emitted after being roasted by flames.
The energy released by the Awakening Flower after being roasted by fierce flames will be automatically absorbed by the medicinal materials in the furnace.
The remaining parts will naturally be destroyed, and the blue smoke rising from the furnace will create the illusion of failure in many people’s eyes.”
Yao Changsheng muttered to himself, then looked forward to seeing what would happen next: “It’s just unknown how far these two kids can go.”
Upon hearing Yao Changsheng’s words, Vice President Ouyang laughed and said, “Do you think they can’t succeed?
Remember, one of them might have sensed the control of the Dan Heart, and the other might have sensed the innocence of the Dan Heart.
With the blessings of these two great Dan Hearts, who knows what kind of transformation will occur? Even we old guys don’t know.”
Yao Changsheng shook his head seriously: “I’m looking forward to and hoping they can succeed this time, but it’s going to be very difficult.”
The 42nd jade vial contained the Dragon Tongue Grass, which had been refined into a medicinal paste.
Whether it was a liquid or powder, adding it to the medicinal materials would be relatively simple, but this paste was much more difficult to work with.
Su Jingzhen controlled the Dragon Tongue Grass paste, slowly making contact with the medicinal materials.
Although it was just a small amount, to form a complete pill, the paste had to be roasted and embedded into the medicinal materials, releasing its medicinal properties into the pill’s interior.
This would trigger another medicinal reaction within the entire pill.
Even with the strongest spiritual awareness, controlling so many medicinal materials and maintaining their medicinal balance was extremely challenging.
Su Jingzhen’s forehead was already sweating.
Fortunately, the Dragon Tongue Grass paste finally attached to the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill’s embryo.
Every time Xuening merged a new medicinal material, she would control the flames to lightly roast it again, making it more refined.
Su Jingzhen then picked up the 43rd jade vial.
“Ah? What’s going on? So he didn’t fail earlier?”
“The 43rd medicinal material, they’re getting closer to success!”
“……”
From the 40th medicinal material onwards, the surrounding onlookers had already been filled with anticipation.
At this moment, they were probably even more tense than Su Jingzhen.
If they failed now, many people would likely have a lot of resentment.
“Their collaboration is so precise! Amazing!”
Not far away, Ye Zhiqiu watched Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s collaboration, her face gradually revealing a serious expression.
“Maybe I should start too!”
As Su Jingzhen and Xuening merged more and more medicinal materials, even Ye Zhiqiu, a genuine fourth-rank alchemist, felt pressure building up in her heart.
She couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
If Su Jingzhen and Xuening really succeeded in refining the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, the pressure on her would be immense, which would be detrimental to her subsequent alchemy attempts.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhiqiu directly entered a state of alchemy again. And this time, she was more serious than ever.
Bai Xiu, who was beside her, was also the same. He had failed in his third alchemy attempt and only glanced at Su Jingzhen’s side before his face turned grave. He then directly entered his fourth attempt.
Around the same time, Liu Ming, who was almost on par with Bai Xiu, had a completely opposite mentality.
He stared fixedly at Xuening and Su Jingzhen, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness to accept.
‘How can you guys refine it to this level?
You guys will never succeed’
Liu Ming muttered to himself, his hands clenched into fists, his face twisted in a ferocious expression.
Yao Changsheng on the judging panel suddenly frowned.
This guy was showing signs of premature collapse.
