Class A Superior

Unlike Lin Huasheng Su Bai did not use any superfluous methods to conceal his actions when refining the [Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill].

Therefore, there are fewer complicated steps, and the refining process is very quick.

It takes much less time than Lin Huasheng.

Soon, the refining process proceeded smoothly to the final step.

If he only possessed one of the Yellow-tier Alchemy Talent, either [Candle Heart Reflecting Fire] or [Lingering Scent Spirit Tracing], Su Bai wouldn't have been confident in successfully refining the [Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill] in one go.

However, with the combined Alchemy Talent, and with Lin Huasheng's previous work serving as a reference, and after absorbing the pill's energy, everything proceeded naturally.

Buzz.

A soft hum came from the Pill Furnace.

Su Bai waved his hand gently, and the lid of the Pill Furnace Lid opened.

The wisps of smoke from the Pill Furnace rose into the air, and Su Bai, not wasting a moment, took another breath.

[Lingering Scent Spirit Tracing] activated. This time, I gained far less alchemy experience, but there was still some benefit.

Pill Furnace, a Mysterious Black Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill spun rapidly.

Su Bai picked it up and waved it to Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi, as expected of Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, had already regained his normal complexion.

This is just the Opening Ceremony. There will be several more "exchanges" regarding the arrangements for the South Sea Alchemy Sacred Hall. Even if we lose this time, there will be several other opportunities to turn the tide.

This Alchemist Lu Jiu is indeed not to be underestimated.

Qiu Yi reached out and took the Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill refined by Su Bai.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiu Yi naturally wouldn't make any inappropriate comments.

Demanding that Lu Jiu refine local Spirit Pills from the South Sea can be seen as a blatant act of intimidation, a way of gaining an advantage, but it is still somewhat justifiable.

If one were to make unfounded comments about the quality of even Spirit Pills, that would be a completely different matter.

Qiu Yi examined the Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill in his hand and was extremely surprised. This Alchemist Lu Jiu's Talent was truly terrifying.

Not only did he acquire the essence of Lin Huasheng's alchemy, but he also filled in the gaps and made the best of it.

This Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill is indeed of a higher quality than the one refined by Lin Huasheng.

Qiu Yi nodded slightly.

"The Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill refined by Alchemist Lu Jiu can be rated as Class A Superior."

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent, except for the Alchemist on the high platform of the Heavenly Star Alliance who cheered with joy.

Su Bai cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for your high praise, Senior Qiu. I am unworthy of such a compliment."

Qiu Yi shook his head. "This assessment suits you perfectly."

"In refining the Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill this time, you are indeed a notch above your foolish disciple Lin Huasheng."

"However, I didn't expect that the Heavenly Star Alliance would also have records of Demonic Core Alchemy Technique."

With Qiu Yi eye, he could naturally see that Su Bai already had some understanding of Demonic Core Alchemy Technique. Otherwise, even with his sharpest insight, he wouldn't have been able to grasp it so quickly if he only looked at Lin Huasheng's alchemy.

Su Bai thought to himself that this old fellow was looking for a way to save face, so he didn't expose him. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "My master, True Man He, is indeed quite knowledgeable."

Su Bai gave Pill Saint Qiu Yi face.

However, on one of the nine high platforms, a hot-tempered Nascent Soul Old Ancestor from Upper Nine Islands could no longer remain seated.

He snorted coldly, showing no respect whatsoever to Qiu Yi, the Pill Saint of the South Sea. He glanced at them sideways, then took to the air and flew away.

The other seven Old Ancestor remained seated, continuing to offer their support.

Pill Saint Qiu Yi's expression was grim, but he quickly regained his composure. "The welcoming ceremony will continue. Later, we will arrange places for the fellow Daoists of the Heavenly Star Alliance to cultivate. I have already made arrangements for this grand event, which will be held in multiple venues. The Artificial Sea Island is just the first stop."

"After the banquet, fellow Daoists of the Heavenly Star Alliance, please rest well. Tomorrow morning, Spirit Boat will come to pick you up and take you to Pill Island!"

On the high platform of the Heavenly Star Alliance, the group of Alchemist naturally bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Then, Pill Saint Qiu Yi looked at Su Bai and said, "Alchemist Lu Jiu, why not give the Spirit Pills you've refined to any Cultivator present who are destined to receive them?"

"Of course it's possible," Su Bai said.

Pill Saint Qiu Yi waved his hand, and two [Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill] and ten [Demonic Flood Dragon Water Essence Pill] rose into the air, then roared and swept away in all directions.

Immediately, tens of thousands of Cultivator were overjoyed and began scrambling for the free Spirit Pills, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

Su Bai bowed to Lin Huasheng, who was still standing there in a daze, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I'll be heading back now."

It's a pity that [Immortal Talent Reflection] didn't reply, otherwise he would definitely have taken a look at the Talent of so many geniuses and Nascent Soul Cultivator present.

Lin Huasheng snapped out of his daze and nodded, "Alchemist Lu Jiu's skills are truly admirable; I have the utmost respect for him."

"However, today's alchemy session was just a casual exercise, a mere Appetizer to celebrate the opening ceremony. Tomorrow, on Pill Island, we will have a formal competition. I hope that Alchemist Lu Jiu can continue to perform at this level."

Su Bai nodded slightly. "I beg you to show mercy tomorrow, fellow Fellow Daoist. My success in refining the [Demonic Flood Dragon Breakthrough Pill] was merely a fluke."

"Luckily... Hmph." Lin Huasheng grinned and strode away.

Su Bai then bowed and took his leave before Qiu Yi, the Pill Saint of the South Sea, before returning to the high platform where the Heavenly Star Alliance was located.

"Pavilion Master Lu is mighty! You trample the face of the South Sea genius! You bring glory to my Heavenly Star Alliance! Pavilion Master Lu, I admire you to the Prostrating on All Five Points!" Wei Chun was the first to rush forward, showering him with loud flattery.

"Pavilion Master Lu, you're amazing!"

"Lu Jiu, I was so nervous just now, thank goodness you're still so reliable!"

The Disciple of the Starlight Academy and some Alchemist from smaller Lineage did not trust Su Bai as much as the Alchemist from Lan Yan, Ying Luo, and Star Luo Pill Pavilion.

However, after this battle, he joined Su Bai's camp without hesitation and recognized Su Bai's representative status.

Su Bai is undoubtedly the number one Alchemist of the younger generation in the Heavenly Star Alliance.
