They could tell that Shen Longxuan had really not started refining pills yet, as he had spent all his energy on testing the fire controlling arts and the Spirit Herb.It was only when Xia Gaole saw this that he dared to take out his precious pill cauldron and make a bet.
"You mean you want to refine the Grade Three Pill here?" Seeing Shen Longxuan"s nod, the beautiful disciple helplessly said: "Since that"s the case, let"s follow the rules of the examination."
The beautiful disciple looked at Xia Gaole and said, "You don"t have a problem with that, do you?"
"No objections, no objections!" Xia Gaole happily agreed. He wished that more people would know now.
The apothecary examination required an elder to be present and there were three chances of him pa.s.sing. If he were to pa.s.s even one of the three times, it would already be considered pa.s.sing. The Elders Guild would then bestow upon the examinees the appropriate inscriptions.
At this time, the beautiful disciple had already arrived at the hall where the elders were waiting. She had invited the elder responsible for conducting the a.s.sessment.
He is the new disciple Shen Longxuan, and there is also a wager between him and Senior Brother Xia Gaole. If Shen Longxuan pa.s.ses, Senior Brother Xia Gaole"s Grade Four Pill Cauldron will belong to him. "
The beautiful disciple gave a general overview of the situation to Elder Zhang who was in charge of the a.s.sessment. Elder Zhang was dressed in a brown embroidered gown, looking at the decorations on his sleeves, he was obviously a fifth grade Alchemist.
His eyes seemed to have flames pulsating within them, and his body invisibly emitted waves of heat outwards. Just looking at Shen Longxuan for a moment, he was already a little impatient.
"A new disciple taking the 3-star apothecary examination? Let"s start from the grade-1!" "If you can"t even reach the first rank, then hurry up and go back to refine it. This elder"s time is extremely precious."
After Elder Zhang finished speaking, Xia Gaole could not help but burst out laughing, the others also wanted to see, could this kind of genius have the same talent in pill refinement as others.
"Elder Zhang, it won"t take you too long. An incense stick"s worth of time is more than enough!" Shen Longxuan said indifferently.
"d.a.m.n, this kid really has never concocted a pill before. He can"t even produce a single pill in an incense stick of time, let alone from rank 1 to rank 3. Each pill is harder than the last."
"That"s right, I need two hours to refine a second grade martial cultivator Pill!"
"This kid is too good at boasting. If he angers the elders, then he"ll be the first to speak!"
Elder Zhang"s brows twitched, and said coldly: "Shen Longxuan, since you"re so confident, I"ll give you an incense"s worth of time. I also want to learn from you, how are you able to pa.s.s the examination in an incense"s worth of time?"
"Elder Zhang is angry, haha, Shen Longxuan, let"s see if you"re still alive!" Xia Gaole was excited and almost danced with joy.
In fact, the reason he had never met Shen Longxuan before was because he was jealous after hearing how talented Shen Longxuan was. According to Shen Longxuan"s words, this kind of person was narrow-minded and wouldn"t have any achievements.
"Shen Longxuan, let me time you!" After Xia Gaole finished speaking, he took out an incense stick from somewhere and lit it up, then stuck it into the ground.
Shen Longxuan did not speak anymore. He put down the Level 3 Elixir Cauldron that he had borrowed, and a ball of purple flames appeared. He heated the Cauldron up, and placed it in the Spirit Herb, refining, fusing, and refining it into a pill.
How was this a novice? There were not many people present who could think that Shen Longxuan was so proficient in this field, it was practically flowing water, after seeing it, they all felt that it was pleasant and not boring at all.
A first rank Body Tempering Pill was completed in the time it took to take a few dozen breaths.
Hiss ~
"This is amazing!"
"I"ve never seen such a pill forging technique, and it feels refreshing!"
"What luck!" What luck! At this moment, Xia Gaole had a feeling that his Grade Four Crucible was one step further away from him.
Elder Zhang expressionlessly looked at Xia Gaole, who had already lost control, and became curious about him. The beautiful disciple had just introduced Shen Longxuan"s recent performance to him, causing his att.i.tude to change.
Ignoring the cries of the people in the hall, Shen Longxuan continued to raise the temperature of the pill furnace. Under the probing of his soul, he was able to control the temperature of the pill furnace to the peak of perfection.
The fire within the cauldron was also perfectly controlled. The Spirit Herb that was placed inside to refine the second grade martial cultivator Pill continued to repeat this action, and because the number of Spirit Herb had doubled, it took a long time.
"Failed, failed …" Xia Gaole secretly cursed in his heart.
But right at that moment, Shen Longxuan slapped his pill furnace with one palm.
Grade two pellet, martial cultivator pellet, success!
"Heavens, he even managed to refine a grade-2 pill!"
"Is this guy the reincarnation of the Pill G.o.d?"
Xia Gaole was no longer able to speak. He looked at the Grade Four Crucible in front of him, and felt a pain in his heart for no reason. He felt as if it had already left him.
Elder Zhang"s eyes started to shine, Shen Longxuan"s talent had made him pleasantly surprised, if he could cultivate Grade Three Pill, he already planned on taking her in as his disciple.
The beautiful disciple instead covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would scream and disturb Shen Longxuan from refining the pill.
Right now, less than a third of the time was used up. The reason why Shen Longxuan had made this bet with Xia Gaole was because he was absolutely confident that he could finish refining the Grade Three Pill.
In order to complete the main Grade Three Pill, he compressed the time he had left behind to the utmost. It was enough for him to refine the pill furnace three times.
The blazing purple flame had already engulfed the entire pill furnace and the blazing temperature caused the surrounding people to retreat a little. At this time, Shen Longxuan threw his Spirit Herb into the furnace one after another.
A powerful soul force that was attached to the flame sensed all the changes within the pill furnace. After the refinement, there were ten drops of the Spirit Herb"s liquid inside the pill furnace. His control over the flame could already change the temperature of the fire in different regions.
After the purification, all of the droplets became crystal clear, releasing an astonishing amount of spirit energy. Shen Longxuan"s Five Elemental Flames" purification was simply heaven defying.
Legend has it that during the ancient times, the heaven and earth were not divided into primal chaos. There was no sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, lightning, gra.s.s, mountains, humans, or insects, so the five elements were born at this time.
The five elements were the foundation of all living things in the world. The flames formed by Shen Longxuan"s Five Elements Spiritual Strength could remove all impurities from the world.
Therefore, if a master were to see the Spirit Herb he purified, he would definitely be shocked. It had basically reached a hundred percent purity, and this kind of purification would greatly increase the success rate.
Starting the fusion was the most important step in the process of refining the pill. No matter how well one had done the first few steps, even if there were any mistakes during the fusion, it would all be for naught.
Relying on his superhuman senses, whenever he felt that the fusion process was unstable, he would use the Five Elements Spiritual Strength to mediate it. Therefore, fusing with the Five Elements Spiritual Strength wasn"t a problem for Shen Longxuan.
The last step was to form a pill. When he felt that the purified juice had completely fused with the pill, Shen Longxuan suddenly increased the firepower.
At this moment, no one present made a sound, all of them tightly clenched their fists as they looked at Shen Longxuan"s burning pill furnace. Some even held their breaths, afraid that they would disturb him.
Xia Gaole"s body was on the verge of collapse. If it wasn"t for Hai Donglin supporting him, he would have long fallen to the ground. He regretted it, even though Shen Longxuan"s Grade Three Pill had not been refined yet, he believed that he had the ability.
His rank 4 pill furnace was gone just like that, so how could he not feel pain in his heart? The only thing he could do was mutter to himself, "Failure …" Failed...
Just at this moment, Shen Longxuan slapped his crucible with one palm, and a loud bang sounded out! The voice shook Xia Gaole so much that he fell to the ground.
