A Bad Heart Would Die at Xiao Yan's Hands Sooner or Later
The two circulated their energy, preparing to Space Travel.
"Bang!"
A thud was heard as the two crashed into a transparent Energy Shield.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
"Boom boom"
The two unleashed a barrage of Energy Shield at the Energy Shield, creating a crack smaller than a hair, which instantly returned to normal.
Just as the two were about to continue their attack, a voice entered their minds.
"Currently, outside of the Phantom Shadow Forest's open hours, no creature can leave its designated location."
"Damn it, damn it, where did things go wrong?"
The two burly men could only rage helplessly, with no way to get out.
Returning to the Battle Through the Heavens World, the quiet atmosphere lasted for nearly five minutes until a clear Bell Chime chime quietly resounded throughout the square.
Xiao Tian opened his tightly closed eyes, and in his mind he had already simulated all the details of the entire Prescription formula.
"The first round of assessment requires you to refine the complete pill according to this incomplete Prescription. If you fail to refine it twice or fail to do so within the specified time, you will be eliminated."
"Do you understand now?"
Fa Ma stood up, and after seeing that there were no other questions, smiled.
"Since there are no problems, I hereby declare the first round of assessment to begin."
After Fa Ma finished speaking, the hourglass on the wall began to flow slowly.
Meanwhile, the contestants inside the arena summoned their Medicine Cauldron and flames, and instantly thousands of flames appeared in the square, creating a spectacular scene.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tianyi summoned a black Medicine Cauldron that appeared on the stone platform.
Xiao Tian released the red Dou Qi Fire inherent in Binghuo Thunder into the Medicine Cauldron.
Liu Ling, Yao Yue, and the others also began refining their own products.
Xiao Yan nodded to Xiao Tian, then closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened them and used the Purple Fire Pill, which Yao Lao had helped to develop, to create Purple Flame.
"Huh, it's red flames and purple flames."
Fa Ma saw the special colored flames of Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan.
"These two little guys seem to have a solid foundation; their flames look no worse than those of Sixth Order Magical Beast Fire."
Xiao Tian watched as most of the people in the room began to refine the Medicine Cauldron was about right. With a wave of his hand, the medicinal herbs on the stone platform seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, turning into streams of light and accurately being thrown into the Medicine Cauldron.
"It seems Xiao Tian is very confident in his alchemy skills. No wonder he was the top performer in the internal testing; not many people would dare to do this with an incomplete Prescription."
Seeing Xiao Tian's actions, Fa Ma couldn't help but nod inwardly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Tian's fingers flew across the paper, his eyes gleaming with confidence. He knew his own strength well, and with countless experiments in his mind, he had almost mastered the Prescription and was not worried about failure.
The Soul Power continuously controlled the temperature of the flames. Under the scorching heat of the flames, the medicinal herbs inside the Medicine Cauldron turned into powder and Medicinal Liquid, and then, with continued scorching, reached the appropriate purity.
In the subsequent drug fusion process, the different purities of each medicinal material will also lead to differences in the quality of the final product.
If the purity is not right, the final fusion may result in other types of pills, or even Waste Pill.
Time passed gradually, and after about a third of the hourglass had been used up, red lights had already appeared on the stone tables of many Alchemist.
These were all those who had failed and been eliminated. The Alchemist, one by one, had faces ashen or flushed with shame, and left the Competition Arena that had caused them so much heartache.
Xiao Tian carefully controlled the temperature of the flames using his Soul Power, and the refined medicinal powder Medicinal Liquid were continuously fused together under the scorching heat of the flames.
Time passed second by second, and the Medicinal Liquid inside the Medicine Cauldron continued to swirl and churn within the flames, gradually changing into the shape of a pill.
"Clang."
Xiao Tianyi heavily on the Medicine Cauldron, causing the lid to fly off instantly. With a wave of his hand, the pills flew out of the Medicine Cauldron and landed steadily in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, a faint pattern appeared on the pill; this pattern was something that only appeared when the pill reached its highest quality.
"This kid is fast! He's finished refining it in less than half the time, and he succeeded on his first try. It seems he has a great understanding and familiarity with the medicinal herbs. It seems he had already thoroughly studied that incomplete Prescription beforehand."
"You should know that the Prescription was specifically developed for an assessment."
"His alchemy skills are also very proficient, each step flowing smoothly like clouds and water. It seems his Soul Power is also very strong, certainly stronger than Liu Ling and Xiao Yue Er."
Fa Ma glanced at the hourglass on the wall; it was less than half empty, and his eyes showed surprise and doubt.
"Perhaps he already possesses the strength of Fourth Grade Alchemist."
"Fourth Grade? He's only that young."
Old Jia paused for a moment, then frowned and spoke.
Hai Bo Dong curled his lip and said, "Fourth Grade? Who do you think you are? Xiao Tian can make Fifth Grade Pill, and I even ate some."
"As for whether that's true or not, we'll find out later. Once we get to the finals, we'll see his full strength."
Fa Ma chuckled and stroked his long beard.
Xiao Tian put the pill into Jade Bottle, turned to look at the VIP seats, and nodded slightly to the three women.
The three women, Ya Fei and her companion, sitting in the VIP seats, knew that Xiao Tian had successfully refined the elixir, and their faces showed happy smiles and pride.
"He's truly my man, so amazing."
As the hourglass continued to pour down.
When only one-third of the medicine was left, a muffled sound came from Xiao Yan's Medicine Cauldron.
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Tian, who was resting with his eyes closed, and a sense of urgency began to rise in his heart. He glanced at the hourglass, composed himself, and quickly began to refine it again.
When only a quarter of the hourglass remained.
"Clang."
A sound of striking the Medicine Cauldron rang out, and it was Liu Ling who produced the pill this time, followed closely by the Little Princess Yao Yue.
"Clang. Clang clang"
As the two finished cooking, a series of sounds of striking the Medicine Cauldron were triggered, and the lids of the cauldrons flew into the air one after another.
One by one, pills of various shapes flew out of the Medicine Cauldron and were caught in the hands of their owner.
Xiao Tian was also awakened by the noisy banging and opened his eyes.
Looking at the group of Alchemist around him who were relaxing, Xiao Tian smiled. He guessed that some of them would have to be eliminated later.
Xiao Tian turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan, who was still refining pills.
Are they checking the time again?
Sure enough, just as the last few grains of sand were about to fall, Xiao Yan slapped the lid of the cauldron and successfully extracted the pill.
Nalan Yanran and Otto, who were on the VIP platform, breathed a sigh of relief. It was truly a rollercoaster of emotions; if they hadn't been strong enough, they probably would have died at Xiao Yan's hands.
Xiao Yan calmly put away the pills, then noticed everyone was watching him and touched his nose with his finger.
"Yan Xiao, it seems you're in luck; you actually managed to refine it at the last minute."
The one who spoke up was naturally Liu Ling Xiao Yan's rival in love who was relentlessly pursuing him.
"Hehe."
Xiao Tian chuckled dismissively and ignored him.
Liu Ling, her face grim, prepared to speak again.
"Congratulations on passing the first round of preliminary tests, but it's not over yet."
Suddenly, Fa Ma's hoarse voice rang out in the square.
"Although you have all successfully refined the pills, some cunning little fellows have produced pills that are merely superficially impressive or of poor quality. Therefore, the next step is to test whether the pills you have refined meet the requirements of the Prescription."
"Now, all participants, please locate the Green Button in the lower left corner of your Bluestone Platform and press it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian pressed a Green Button on the lower left corner of the stone platform. The platform trembled slightly, and a stone slab slowly bulged out. After rising half a foot, the surface of the stone slab slightly dented, finally revealing a small Black Hole.
"This is a testing machine. Put your refined Bone Growing Pill into it. If a green light appears, the pills have met the requirements. The stronger the green light, the better they match the Prescription and the higher their quality."
"Conversely, if a red light appears, it means the requirements have not been met, resulting in failure and elimination. The brighter the red light, the more unrelated your creation is to the Prescription; it might just be a small snack to fill your stomach."
Fa Ma's humorous remarks drew bursts of laughter from the audience.
Meanwhile, many of the Alchemist in the arena suddenly turned ashen-faced, as if they had eaten excrement.
