He raised his hand and bent it into a claw shape, and the suction force emerged from his palm. A jade box was taken into Chen Guan's hand. When he opened it, what emerged was an attractive green fruit.
The dewdrops are still there, and the fragrance of the medicine is compelling. Even a monster that doesn't understand Way of Alchemy will instinctively know how precious it is.
Heavenly Sky Fruit, an eighth-level rare medicinal material, has the miraculous effect of improving qualifications when taken directly. It was a gift from Sound Valley that day.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Guan's dark eyes flashed with fierceness. Then he waved his sleeves and robe fiercely, and Heavenly Sky Fruit floated out of the jade box.
At the same time, Chen Guan's fingers flew, and the many jade boxes hovering around were suddenly separated into several, and medicinal herbs flew out one after another, and were put into Medicine Cauldron end to end.
As soon as the medicinal materials entered the cauldron, they withered quickly under the terrifying temperature of Ink-Blue Heavenly Flame. Then, under the extremely powerful Soul Manipulation of Chen Guan, in just ten minutes, several medicinal materials were refined into pure medicinal powders. Finally, with a movement of Chen Guan's mind, they were gently suspended in the corner of Medicine Cauldron.
The step of refining the essence of medicinal materials is the simplest, especially among the medicinal materials for the elixir Chen Guan made today, none of them are particularly hard, and the operation is even more devastating.
Refining the first batch of pure medicinal powder as quickly as possible, Chen Guan's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his palms one after another, and another batch of medicinal materials began to sneak into Medicine Cauldron one after another.
However, no matter how numerous these medicinal materials were, they did not give Chen Guan the slightest sense of panic. Instead, they seemed merely orderly, as if they had entered a mysterious rhythm.
Spiritual Power's powerful benefits are fully revealed at this moment!
Almost as soon as Chen Guan's mind moves, the heat will change accordingly, and then the medicinal materials will be refined to the purest level.
Moreover, those with extraordinary eyesight will find that even with the same steps, the essence of the medicinal materials he extracted is actually faintly mixed with a trace of very light spiritual energy. Although this spiritual energy is very light, it can quietly improve the quality of the extracted medicinal powder.
This is another miraculous effect of the Spirit Realm soul!
Chen Guan has long been accustomed to this situation. At this moment, he feels the effect of the essence of the medicinal materials. There is no sadness or joy on his face. He is like a robot with no emotion, completely immersed in his own rhythm.
One plant, another plant, batch after batch...
Under Chen Guan's almost rapid refining, a quarter of the medicinal materials were refined into the required medicinal powder and liquid in just over an hour.
"Some people have already started to refine elixirs, but judging from the number of medicinal materials they refine, they will not exceed the seventh grade."
On the high platform in the distance, Three Greats of the Pill Tower looked over the entire venue, taking in everything going on in the venue.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more types of medicinal materials are needed. This is common sense in alchemy.
Therefore, in their eyes, the alchemists who have finished refining at this moment undoubtedly have no chance of becoming champions.
Well, the key is participation.
"It's not much different from what I expected. This Pill Gathering's competition will still depend on these little guys. Looking at the medicinal materials refined by Cao Ying, I can probably guess her goal. But Chen Guan's side... is interesting. It's a high-level elixir that even I have no impression of."
Xuan Yi looked expectantly and glanced at Xuan Kongzi beside him curiously.
With their qualifications, they have been refining elixirs for decades, and there are really not many unheard of elixirs.
Knowing what Xuan Yi meant, Xuan Kongzi just laughed.
"Dou Qi Continent has countless geniuses. It's normal for some things to appear that I don't know about. I can rest assured and wait for him to finish practicing, and everything will become clear naturally."
The smile on his face was full of amusement, and it was obvious that he knew the goal of Chen Guan.
Seeing this, Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi could only suppress their curiosity and ignore it, lest someone get too proud.
The whole square was very quiet, and all the contestants were concentrating on Medicine Cauldron and refining the medicinal materials.
The alchemists who can make it to this level are all of a high level, more or less capable, and rarely make mistakes in the previous steps.
In the square, it was generally quiet at this time, and people were watching this grand event carefully. Ordinary people just watched the excitement, but for some alchemists who were not able to take the stage, they had to consider carefully whether this was their only opportunity in this life.
The nearly a thousand people on the stage include almost 99% of the high-level alchemists of the Dou Qi Continent's generation. If you only need to learn a few levels from them, it is no exaggeration to say that the future will be bright! "Hurry up and hurry up. We finally caught up. I must be Mr. Chen Guan, right?"
Outside the huge square, two beautiful figures quietly emerged.
Among them, a beautiful woman dressed in a royal palace is walking with lotus flowers. She is dust-free and has a vision accompanying her as she walks.
However, such a strange situation was not even noticed by Three Greats of the Pill Tower on the high platform.
The accompanying woman wore a gauze face and nodded slightly, confirming Beautiful Madam's guess.
"It is indeed Mr. Chen Guan, but this Heavenly Flames seems to have undergone some changes. Mother, I will take you to meet the Yun Yun sisters first."
Extracting the essence of medicinal materials is just the simplest step. It took Chen Guan half a day to do it perfectly.
At this moment, in Medicine Cauldron, a group of green slime-like things were quietly suspended above the dark blue flames.
The first step was completed, Chen Guan took a short rest, and then concentrated once again on the more tedious refining that followed.
After nearly half a day, in the sky, almost all the contestants have now entered this step, and their faces have become solemn. They are each controlling the heat and refining the elixirs in their respective Medicine Cauldron.
The high platform was busy, but the square below was like another world. Countless eyes were focused on the busy figures in the sky.
They are waiting, waiting for the last day to come.
That day was the climax of Pill Gathering! Pill Gathering Champion will appear on that day! Although waiting is boring, everything is worth it for what may be the most exciting moment in life! Time is like running water, passing through the fingers unconsciously, and seven days have passed in a flash.
During this period, sometimes some alchemists made mistakes, which caused a dull sound of thunder. Some people's mistakes would have a certain impact on other weak-willed people, including some unlucky ones who were affected...
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized how prescient it was to choose a place on the edge of purity.
Of course, apart from those that failed to be eliminated, there are also many that have been successfully refined.
However, as Tian Leizi expected, there has been no calamity caused by Dan Lei among the finished products of these people so far.
Obviously, the elixir they successfully refined was no higher than the seventh grade.
And this kind of elixir is undoubtedly not qualified to compete for the championship.
The number of successful ones and those eliminated has continued to increase, which has also caused the number of alchemists still immersed in refining medicine on the high platform to drop sharply. From thousands at the beginning, there are now less than 500.
However, most of the eyes of the audience are still on Cao Ying, Chen Guan, Dan Chen and some Alchemy Master with quite a good reputation. They know that the battle between these people is the most exciting part of this Pill Gathering.
At this time, Chen Guan has entered the crucial process of merging the liquid medicine. This is the most delicate, most testing level of medicine refining, and the most time-consuming step.
However, with his powerful Soul Power and abnormal soul control, Chen Guan did not feel too much pressure.
If it hadn't been the first time to refine an elixir of this level, he could even speed up again.
"Boom!"
Just at this time, a thunder exploded in the clear sky, attracting everyone's attention. They saw a Lightning Cloud gradually taking shape in the high sky, and the thunder rolled in the Lightning Cloud, making this roaring sound.
Both Chen Guan and Cao Ying glanced at the direction where the sound came from.
Of course, that's all.
If the seventh-grade elixir was successfully refined in just seven days, unless it was of extremely high standard, there is only one explanation left.
This elixir can barely reach the seventh level.
However, everyone has his own ambitions. The seventh-grade elixir that Chen Guan and others don't care about is still the envy of countless alchemists.
At this moment, the refining person couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face, and he was shouting over and over again.
"I succeeded! I succeeded! I am a seventh-grade alchemist!"
The slightly noisy voice did not disgust many alchemists.
Those with a lower level cast their eyes with admiration and envy, while those with a higher level also came slowly from this step and know how difficult it is to be promoted.
"Shen Jing, deal with your elixir first."
On the high platform, Tian Leizi sounded a reminder.
Refining the elixir does not mean success. If the elixir cannot be dealt with, everything will be in vain.
Just like being pregnant, being pregnant does not mean that you will be able to give birth safely...
The alchemist who was awakened suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly dealt with the elixir. Chen Guan and others stopped paying attention and concentrated on their own Medicine Cauldron.
As time passed day by day, more and more alchemists completed the last step, and the sound of the elixirs exploding became more and more common, almost like you singing and then I come on stage. There were also several scenes of elixirs appearing together, making the atmosphere in the square get higher and higher, as if it was about to reach a climax.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and there were only less than twenty people left who had not finished refining the alchemy.
On the stone platform at this moment, because more and more contestants were refining the elixir, the world was almost filled with a strong and indissoluble scent of elixir. After taking a sip, some of the fatigue caused by the long wait also quietly dissipated.
Chen Guan's eyes were as bright as a torch, not showing any signs of fatigue, and he was locked tightly within Medicine Cauldron.
After more than ten days of long fusion, there is now a small oval-shaped ball about the size of a fist in the flames rising inside Medicine Cauldron.
This small ball is made from the pure medicinal power of hundreds of medicinal materials, but now it is only the prototype of the elixir.
At this moment, the most difficult step has been passed. Next, as long as Chen Guan stabilizes its state, it will be ready for release after a while! Suddenly, a familiar look came over.
Chen Guan glanced over and saw Cao Dan nodding to him with excitement.
Nodding slightly in response, Cao Dan stood up, waved his sleeves and robe, and the lid of the cauldron opened with a bang.
It was also at this moment that a rich red fragrance that had never been seen in the past half month immediately filled the air.
boom! Dan Lei arrived in response!
"Hahaha, good time!"
Before the elixir could fly out of the cauldron, Cao Dan laughed, Dou Qi surged to suppress it, and then flew up to resolve the elixir.
With his gorgeous clothes flying everywhere and his long hair blowing in the wind, this moment is his Cao Dan highlight moment! Yet, hilariously enough, his moment of glory was horribly brief.
In just a few seconds, as if the moment of sprint had entered, there was an endless stream of "boom, boom, boom" thunder in the sky.
At this moment, pills for more than ten people were released at the same time!!! It has become a luxury to hope that the autumn water will always be the same color as the sky. At this moment, it is more appropriate to describe it as a group of demons dancing! His own highlight was divided up, Cao Dan wanted to cry but could only resolve the thunder with tears.
No matter what, this pill is his huge breakthrough and must not be ruined at the last moment! "High-grade Seventh-rank Pill, the future is promising."
On the edge of the stone platform, Chen Guan looked at the elixir and guessed the level of Cao Dan's elixir. He nodded slightly and praised it.
In a sense, this guy's Yao Tian talent is really good, not much worse than Song Qing.
If his temperament can be sharpened, it may not be impossible to become a grandmaster in the future.
boom!!! Chen Guan While he was thinking about it, another shocking explosion suddenly sounded.
It was also the sound of Dan Lei. However, this Dan Lei at this moment gave people an extremely strange feeling.
Under this sound, the previous ten or so pill thunders seemed to have lost their luster all of a sudden, and all their light was stripped away, making people look at it unconsciously.
"Eighth-Tier Pill has appeared!"
Their eyes were locked on the alchemist, but they found that this person was unfamiliar. No one in the crowd in the square could recognize his identity.
This strange Grade 8 Alchemy Grandmaster is a Gray-Haired Elder, with an old face like orange peel. Obviously, this person should also be a strong man from the older generation. However, although his appearance is not good, his face is full of gentle smiles at the moment, and he looks at least much more pleasing to the eye than Old Man Mu Gu.
Time is the most incomprehensible screening tool. It washes away the glory from the thousands of contestants and leaves behind those who are truly strong.
"Who is this person? I have never seen him before."
"Anyway, he must be an old guy we are familiar with. He has obviously changed his appearance to hide his aura, but the elixir has taken shape. Next, he needs to deal with the elixir. He will definitely not be able to hide it anymore."
"These old guys are really embarrassed. They know that it's not kind to compete in their own capacity, but they still come..."
On the high platform, Three Greats of the Pill Tower chatted helplessly, with curiosity in his eyes.
I really want to see who this old acquaintance with shame but not much will be?
