In the Gu Clan's pill refining field, there were disciples of the Gu Clan standing everywhere, watching the two people refining medicine on the high platform.
At this moment, Qi Tong had already reached the final stage, and the beast core that he had thrown in had already been gradually refined by him.
On the other hand, Ling Xiao was still slowly refining the Spirit Grass. He was not in a hurry to quickly refine the Spirit Grass.
This was because he wanted to see the expressions of those people when they fell from heaven to hell. Only then would it be refreshing.
The Spirit Grass in his medicinal cauldron was almost completely refined, and the medicinal smell emitted by the medicinal essence was suppressed by Ling Xiao using his mental power.
Everyone thought that Ling Xiao had destroyed the pile of Spirit Grass.
"Phew!"
"I've finally finished refining it!" Qi Tong let out a light sigh.
A lot of sweat had appeared on his face. It was obvious that even he, an Empyrean, could not endure the continuous consumption.
He glanced at Ling Xiao, who was still using fire to burn the medicinal cauldron, and revealed a pleased look, "You're just pretending, let's see how you cry later!"
In the blink of an eye, another half an hour had passed, and it was finally time for Qi Tong to refine the pill.
His face was flushed red, and a large amount of black flames emerged from his palm. The powerful flames mixed with the surrounding Spirit Qi and pressed down on the medicinal cauldron.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out, and a strong rebounding force sprayed out from the medicinal cauldron.
Qi Tong immediately used his Nether Protection Force, wrapping himself in layers.
Ling Xiao also took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention to quickly throw a beast core into the medicinal cauldron. The flame energy in his hands quickly increased, and his mental power turned into countless sharp blades that cut the beast core into countless pieces. In the end, it was easily refined by the fiery energy.
No one would have thought that Ling Xiao would be able to refine the beast core in such a short period of time.
If others were to see that he had actually done it so quickly, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
After all, even a Grade Eight Alchemist might not be able to refine a Grade Six Beast Core so quickly!
When Qi Tong went to check the medicinal pill he had refined, Ling Xiao also shouted on the other side, "Condense for me!"
The spiritual energy around Ling Xiao surged towards him like a tidal wave. At the same time, the flames in his hands pressed down on the medicinal cauldron. Once again, he was distracted. The spiritual energy compressed all the essence that was about to spill out of the medicinal cauldron.
Flames, spiritual energy, and spiritual energy simultaneously compressed and refined the essence of the spiritual herbs and the energy of the beast cores in the cauldron.
Peng!
There was also a muffled groan, but not much energy came out of the cauldron.
On the other side, Qi Tong seemed to have obtained the pill he had refined, and his face was full of pride.
"Qi Tong, quickly show your pill to Grandmaster Gu Qin!" Wu Fu impatiently called out to Qi Tong.
Qi Tong nodded at him and then quickly walked in front of Gu Qin. He handed an ugly medicinal pill to Gu Qin and said, "Grandmaster Gu Qin, please take a look. This is a Grade Six medicinal pill, the Blood Rapid Pill!"
The Blood Rapid Pill was a high-grade medicinal pill that could quickly restore blood and qi. It was an excellent and necessary healing medicine for Empyrean powerhouses. Once they lost too much blood, this Blood Rapid Pill could quickly replenish their blood and spiritual energy in a short period of time.
This was also the lowest grade of Grade Six medicinal pills, and it was the easiest to refine!
Gu Qin glanced at Qi Tong's ugly medicinal pill and said, "This can only be considered a semi-finished Grade Six medicinal pill, but it's already very good that you can condense it. It seems that in a few years, you will have the opportunity to advance to a real Grade Six Alchemist!"
Qi Tong received Gu Qin's praise and immediately bowed and said, "Many thanks for Grandmaster Gu Qin's praise!"
Although this was only a semi-finished Grade Six medicinal pill, it was already considered a medicinal pill that surpassed Grade Five. Unless Ling Xiao could completely refine a Grade Six medicinal pill, it was absolutely impossible to win against him.
"Congratulations Grandmaster Wu for having such a good disciple. Among the younger generation of my Gu Family, there is no one as outstanding as Qi Tong. In the future, he will become my Gu Family's son-in-law and can be considered half a member of the Gu Family!" Gu Fen said respectfully to Wu Fu.
Wu Fu said modestly, "You flatter me. Your Gu Family is full of talents, and my disciple only has a little Tenbin. It's really not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
Although he said so, his face was full of pride, and his heart was incomparably gratified!
Although this disciple of his was a little lecherous, his Tenbin was indeed not inferior to his, and there was even a chance that he could surpass him one day!
At this time, the cauldron on Ling Xiao's side also exploded, and everyone's gazes fell in his direction.
"What the hell is this guy doing? Just now, he stuffed a large pile of Spirit Grass into it, so it should have been destroyed. He can actually explode the cauldron and condense the pill, isn't he too good at pretending?"
"That's right, I haven't even seen him put the beast core in. Could it be that he refined a Level 1 or 2 medicinal pill? I'm dying of laughter."
"Haha, I think he can't even refine a Level 1 or 2 medicinal pill. He's just using his Qi to make a sound."
"That's right, I'm afraid his medicinal cauldron is just a pile of dregs!"
Ling Xiao purposely wiped off his sweat and sighed, "Damn, concocting pills is so f * cking hard!"
The surrounding people all laughed in surprise at the same time. Their laughter was not a kind smile, but a smile filled with incomparable ridicule.
Gu Jiaojiao almost fainted on the spot.
All sorts of signs showed that Ling Xiao was not someone who knew how to concoct pills. He was just a layman.
On the other hand, Ye Yunfeng said happily, "Jiaojiao, did you see that? I told you that boss would not disappoint us!"
Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao completely fainted!
At this time, Gu Qin, who was the judge, said, "I wonder what rank of pill Brother Ling is refining?"
Before Ling Xiao could say anything, Gu Fen, who was at the side, mocked, "Ancestor, do you think he can refine a pill like that?
I think it's better to immediately get someone to activate the clan's great formation and tie him up so that he won't run away immediately if he loses! "
Wu Fu, who was at the side, also said, "That's right, he definitely won't be able to refine a pill. Master Gu Qin, please control him first so that he won't go back on his word!"
Qi Tong smiled disdainfully at Ling Xiao and said, "Competing with me in alchemy, you really don't know what's good for you. If you don't want to die, kneel down and beg me. Maybe I'll let you go if I'm happy!"
Looking at the mocking expressions, Ling Xiao still did not move. He calmly extended his hand towards the medicinal cauldron and muttered, "Eh, why didn't I get the pill?"
"Forget it, Brother Ling. I think you should apologize to Wu Fu and his disciple and let this matter go!" Gu Qin said.
He also felt that it was impossible for Ling Xiao to refine a pill, so he said this in hopes that he could be a mediator and make Ling Xiao owe him a favor.
However, Ling Xiao did not answer him. Instead, he revealed a look of pleasant surprise and said, "I got it … I got it … Haha, who said that this young master can't refine a pill? Take a look for yourselves, this is a Grade Six Revered Pill!"
Following that, three pills appeared in Ling Xiao's hand. He raised them up high like a child who had been praised, smiling very happily.
Everyone was stunned and their expressions were extremely strange.
"Ahaha … You're too funny, cheating in front of everyone in the hall. It's fine if you're cheating, but at least do it more realistically. Have you ever seen anyone who can refine a high grade pill and condense three pills at once? I'm dying of laughter!" Qi Tong did not care about his image and burst into laughter.
On the high platform, the Gu Family and Wu Fu could not help but laugh as well.
Obviously, they all tolerated Qi Tong's words.
Most of the people present were alchemists. They all knew that a Tier 1 or 2 medicinal pill could be condensed into multiple medicinal pills at once. However, when it came to Tier 3 and above medicinal pills, it was almost impossible to condense multiple medicinal pills at once.
After all, a standard grade medicinal pill required a lot of energy, and at the same time, the refining process was complicated. During this process, not many alchemists could completely seal the energy and prevent it from overflowing, so this also led to the loss of a large amount of medicinal essence and energy during the final condensing of the pill. In the end, they could only condense a single medicinal pill.
And Ling Xiao took out three pills at once. This naturally made them think that he was cheating.
Ling Xiao ignored their ridicule and walked in front of Gu Qin with large strides, saying, "Master Gu Qin, these are the three metal attribute Zun Zun Dan that I refined, take a look!"
"Brother Ling, this … Did you really refine this?" Gu Qin asked as he looked at the three sparkling pills that were as smooth as jade.
He only needed to smell the rich pill fragrance to know that these three pills were definitely high grade pills of excellent quality, but he did not believe that they were refined by Ling Xiao.
"Master Gu Qin, is there even a need to ask?
He clearly took them out of his spatial ring to fool us. He doesn't know how to refine pills, so he lost this match! "Wu Fu said from the side.
"That's right, Old Ancestor, we have never seen anyone who can refine pills like this, and we also didn't see him throw a beast core in, so how could he possibly condense a pill? This is clearly cheating!" Gu Fen said with a sneer.
At this time, Gu Ying also shook his head and said, "I have also never seen anyone who can condense pills like this!"
For a moment, everyone accused Ling Xiao of cheating, saying that he didn't know how to refine pills.
Yao Qingmin, who was below, said angrily, "They clearly lost, yet they actually said that Young Master doesn't know how to refine pills. They really deserve to die!"
"Isn't that so? Xiao Luo's alchemy is a bit unique, but I also saw him secretly put a beast core in just now. He definitely wouldn't cheat!" Bing Ruoshui also stood on Ling Xiao's side and said.
Li Xue and Liu Qun remained silent. They also couldn't distinguish between right and wrong.
But of course, they all hoped that Ling Xiao was right.
"Yunfeng, it seems that we really can't be together!" Gu Jiaojiao said to Ye Yunfeng with great disappointment.
She originally thought that Ling Xiao could really reverse the situation and help her escape the fate of marrying Qi Tong, but now it seemed that it was just her wishful thinking!
"Impossible, you must believe in Boss, these pills are really refined by him!" Ye Yunfeng said very firmly.
