As time pa.s.sed, more and more people were being eliminated. Obviously, it wasn"t that easy to refine a grade-1 ordinary pill.Xu Xuan waved his hand, and the flames instantly dispersed. Soon after, countless medicinal dregs flew out, and the flames flew back, tightly wrapping themselves around the pill furnace. They floated in the air, and continuously burned and revolved around it, and all of this happened in the span of a single breath.
"That kid is really not simple!"
Those that were eliminated, returned to the waiting area below the stage dejectedly. As their group grew stronger and stronger, they didn"t seem to feel that it was too shameful. Instead, they raised their heads to look at others refining pills and learnt their lesson.
Some alchemists even felt ashamed for their disciples being eliminated. They were so angry that their faces turned red.
The person who was the most pleased with himself was obviously Mu Chen of the Mountain Sect. At the moment, his face was flushed red, his smile was like a chrysanthemum flower, extremely brilliant.
"That kid is just messing around with such a mess. I don"t believe that he will really be able to refine a medicinal pill!"
The current Meng Tian, because more and more people had descended from the compet.i.tion arena, was able to see Xu Xuan behind him through the shadow. After looking at him, his face first twitched, but he then laughed coldly to himself, thinking that Xu Xuan was only using a special method to attract attention.
Luo Xuanbin and the woman from the Qing Jing Zong also noticed Xu Xuan, but after taking a glance at him, their mouths emitted a disdainful smile as they continued to cultivate their pills. It was clear that they did not think that Xu Xuan was able to truly refine the Grade One Pills.
"The pill is complete!"
A moment later, Meng Tian finally shouted out loud. He raised both of his hands and a pill flew out. It landed on a plate in front of him.
"Tsk tsk, this boy is indeed amazing. He was able to refine it so quickly."
Sima Yi could not help but let out a slight sigh of relief, and Nie Feng, who was behind him, also let out a sigh of relief when he heard the praise. Although he had great confidence in Meng Tian, no one could say for sure about the matter of refining pills, if there was a mistake, it would really be a huge loss of face for them. This was just refining a first cla.s.s ordinary pill, if it was the second round, then the difficulty of refining pills would increase.
"Hmph, get up!"
Almost at the same time, as though not willing to fall behind, Luo Xuanbin and the other woman also flew out. A dark yellow pill the size of a pea, faintly emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
As time pa.s.sed, more and more people were able to refine pills.
"Bam!"
However, the instant this pill was formed, a ma.s.sive amount of energy would erupt. Some people had their pill furnaces burst from this energy, because the heat they felt before was uneven.
"I am truly unlucky. Just a tiny bit more and I"ll be able to become a grade-1 apothecary!"
A man bowed his head and said angrily. Walking in front of Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan took a look and saw that it was actually Li Qingxia"s male disciple.
Seeing that, Li Qingxia"s face revealed displeasure, but in just a moment, the displeasure had disappeared completely. This disciple"s talent was not good, being able to achieve such a step, could be considered a big improvement, she originally did not place any hope on her disciple and Hua Wuying, the only one who felt hope, was naturally Xiao Hong.
"Rise!"
Just then, a female voice came out from beside Xu Xuan. A pellet was also dropped into a small plate, and a young lady in red finally revealed a trace of satisfaction. She wore a smile on her face as she wiped away the sweat on her forehead.
Although she was confident in being able to refine this first grade ordinary medicinal pill, this was the first time she was ever this happy about it being refined so quickly.
Wiping away the sweat on her forehead, she could not help but look at the fellow beside her, only to see that he did not seem to be in a rush at all, as if he was playing some sort of tricks there. The entire pill furnace floated in the air under the power of the mental strength, and was enveloped by a fireball as it flew around in the sky, then circled around again.
"Cough cough, Mu Chen, what is your disciple doing? That"s not the method you handed over to him, is it? " Seeing that Xiao Hong had succeeded, Li Qingxia revealed a face of satisfaction, and couldn"t help but ask Mu Chen. She had never seen such a method of refining pills before, and thought about what Mu Chen had taught his disciple, and how it had turned into a mess.
"How do I know what he"s doing? "Hehe, I"ve only told him that there are many things that need to be done in the same way. Whatever you think is right, you can try it. I think this is the method that he has recently developed himself."
Mu Chen spread out his hands, and actually a.s.sumed a posture that was not taught to him by me, like it had nothing to do with him, causing Li Qingxia to be speechless.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
More and more people refined a medicinal pill. Numerous medicinal pills flew out. Immediately, all of them violently sighed in relief. They hurriedly allowed their tensed nerves to rest as they prepared to welcome the second round of the compet.i.tion.
Those who were able to produce this ordinary pill couldn"t help but feel a little proud. This at least proved their strength, and they could be considered as Tier 1 alchemists.
As time pa.s.sed, there were only two people left on the arena. One was naturally Xu Xuan who was in the midst of concocting pills in a fancy way, and the other was the sweating Hua Wuying who was beside him.
"Hehe, I didn"t expect you to stay with me at this time!"
Xu Xuan laughed, he did not care about how others looked at him, and jokingly smiled at Hua Wuying. To be able to be distracted and come chat with Hua Wuying while she was refining pills, this kind of ability to do two things at once was truly powerful.
"Hmph, I"ll accompany you anytime. If you hadn"t wasted a lot of my time, I wouldn"t have delayed until this moment!"
Hua Wuying scoffed. Although her pill refining skills were still lacking, it was all thanks to Xu Xuan.
With a thought, a small medicinal pill flew out and landed on the plate in front of her.
After Hua Wuying had successfully refined the pellet, there were still more than thirty people left on the stage. Among the more than thirty people, only Xu Xuan had not refined the pellet.
"What the h.e.l.l is that kid doing? Wasn"t he very quick to prepare the ingredients? Didn"t he very quickly throw the main and supplementary ingredients in?" Why is everyone waiting for him at this time? "
On the stage, in the area where the inner sect disciples were, a one-armed man could not help but have a face full of suspicion, and he, was indeed w.a.n.g Fei. He did not know why, but the man who was standing there refining pills gave him a familiar feeling.
"Haha, come out!"
Finally, Xu Xuan laughed out loud. The fireball that was originally spinning and spinning around Xu Xuan suddenly stopped, and revealed a small hole in the furnace. A small light yellow pellet flew out, and landed steadily on the plate in front of him.
