Refining pills seemed simple, but the requirements for the alchemist were extremely high.
Once the alchemist was distracted, the power was uneven, or there was a problem with the fire, everything would be for naught.
The most important step was the moment when the pills were formed.
Even the slightest mistake could cause the pill to fail at the last hurdle.
Moreover, the spiritual herbs given for refining pills this time were limited. Once the alchemist failed, it would be difficult to refine pills again.
Generally speaking, the process of refining pills was very slow.
The longest was a year and a half, and the shortest was ten days to half a month.
Unless the alchemist was of a very high realm, it was very difficult to refine a finished pill in a short period of time.
Not to mention, it had to have a pure pill fragrance and an extremely high grade pill.
The time it took for an incense stick to burn was quite a challenge for alchemists of a very high realm.
Moreover, most of them were not alchemists.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the twenty people were hurriedly refining pills with a focused expression.
Holding one's breath, concentrating, turning the herbs, forming the core …
Everyone was hurrying, and many of their faces were already covered in dense beads of sweat.
The enhancement of the realm power was very taxing. If one was not a Martial King expert, it would not be easy to resist.
Half an incense stick's worth of time had passed.
Many people's cauldrons were already faintly emitting a faint fragrance.
This fragrance was the fragrance of the pills.
Obviously, many people had already formed the pills.
However, Fang Yu was still standing in the same spot, as if he was thinking about something.
"Kid, you came from the Azure Dragon Academy. Don't tell me you don't even know how to refine pills?
“
The old man standing below the stage was already a little anxious.
He originally thought that this would be a piece of cake for Fang Yu.
Unexpectedly, half an incense stick's worth of time had almost passed, and he was still standing there in a daze.
Could it be that he was afraid that he would lose his life in the following trial, so he did this on purpose?
In his heart, he suddenly felt a little resentful that he had failed to meet his expectations.
He even wanted to beat Fang Yu up.
"What is this kid doing?"
"Why is he still standing there in a daze?"
"I bet a spiritual herb that he doesn't know how to refine pills!"
Naturally, there was a lot of discussion below the stage.
The Fire Cloud Hall elder in the arena looked at Fang Yu and could not help but shake his head.
His strength was indeed very strong!
However, the competition this time wasn't just a competition of strength. There were many other things.
For example, alchemy …
It seemed that Fang Yu was clueless.
However, only Fang Yu himself knew.
At this moment, he wasn't just standing there stupidly.
He flipped through the Alchemy Cultivation Method on the System Panel.
After searching for a long time, he finally found a better method.
Originally, those pill refining methods were too high-profile, and the grade of the pills refined were very high.
If he used this kind of simple low-grade Spirit Grass to refine such a high-grade pill, it would be easy to make people suspicious.
Only this one, which was neither too high nor too low, was just right!
As he muttered to himself, a rich pill fragrance wafted out from behind him.
The Firecloud Hall disciple struck the cauldron with an aura in his hand.
Withdraw the fire, concentrate, form the core, irrigate with the power of the realm, cover the furnace, and inhale the incense.
The entire set was completed in one go without any obstacles.
Just from this pill fragrance alone, Fang Yu could clearly feel that this pill was of a very high grade and was very pure.
The Elder of the Firecloud Hall also nodded his head in relief.
With this pill, he could definitely win.
The Firecloud Hall disciple also had a proud look on his face as he scanned his surroundings with a cold snort. Especially when he saw that Fang Yu hadn't made a move yet, the corner of his mouth already revealed a disdainful look.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a muffled sound suddenly came from Fang Yu's right.
After the muffled sound, a burnt smell slowly wafted out.
Obviously, the fire was too big, and the temperature in the cauldron was not controlled well.
"Sigh!"
That person sighed, his face a little disappointed.
Failing to refine pills meant that he was eliminated.
Not to mention that the amount of Spirit Grass was not enough, even the time was not enough to support him to refine pills again.
"I quit!"
He shook his head and walked out of the arena helplessly.
When he walked out of the arena, there was a series of rumbling sounds.
The entire arena was instantly filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
Fang Yu held his breath and focused, trying his best not to be affected by the smell.
Then, he casually threw the Spirit Grass in front of him into the cauldron.
"Is this young man here to be funny?"
"What kind of operation is this?"
Below the arena, there was a wave of mockery.
Even a fool knew that before the Spirit Grass was put into the cauldron, the aura of the Spirit Grass had to be checked.
If there was more, the rest would be refunded.
Only by doing so could it be possible to refine pills.
Looking at Fang Yu's unprofessional technique, it was obvious that he didn't know how to do it!
"Pfft!"
The Firecloud Hall disciple standing behind Fang Yu, who was the first to condense the pill, could not help but laugh out loud.
Fang Yu was very focused at this moment and did not pay attention to these sounds.
After adjusting the fire to its optimum state, Fang Yu began to activate the power in his Sea of Energy.
He poured all his power into the cauldron and carefully controlled it.
This scene was naturally seen by many people.
"What kind of technique is this?"
"Controlling the cauldron without caring about the Spirit Grass in it?"
Everyone was confused and almost all of them thought that Fang Yu was messing around.
Only the Firecloud Hall Elder standing beside Fang Yu saw it clearly.
How was this messing around!
When the cauldron was filled with Fang Yu's power.
Inside the cauldron, the fire slowly flowed along with this power.
Wherever the power passed, the Spirit Grass would be filled with the temperature brought about by this power.
This kind of alchemy technique, let alone seeing it, was almost unheard of in so many years!
Fang Yu slowly mobilized this power. Half an incense's time had already passed.
Beside him, rumbling sounds could be heard from time to time.
This arena was constantly enveloped by the mellow and burnt smell of pills.
When the incense stick burned out and the last ray of light fell.
On the arena, more than ten of the twenty-one people, including Fang Yu, had already left.
In the blink of an eye, less than half of them were left!
"Time's up, open the cauldron!"
The Fire Cloud Hall's elder cleared his throat and shouted.
In the arena, everyone opened their cauldrons.
Their faces were filled with confidence.
At this moment, Fang Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
The time was just right, not a single minute off!
He slowly retracted his hands and opened the cauldron …
"Middle-grade Spirit Pills, not bad!"
"Superior-grade Spirit Pills, impressive!"
"Middle-grade Spirit Pills!"
The Firecloud Hall Elder began to check the cauldrons one by one from behind.
Among the remaining people, almost all of the elixirs refined were middle-grade elixirs.
The pills were round and full, emitting a faint pill fragrance.
Other than the two Fire Cloud Hall disciples who managed to refine the superior-grade Spirit Pills, no one else managed to do so.
"Oh?
This is? "
After checking everyone, the Firecloud Hall Elder's gaze landed on Fang Yu's cauldron.
