The Astonished Crowd

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the five clones grabbed the spirit herbs from the table and placed them into their respective pill furnaces, beginning to refine pills. Each clone was clearly refining a different type of pill.

Just as when he had refined a massive batch of pills before, Long Xuan skipped the step of refining each spirit herb one by one. To save time, he dumped every ingredient listed in the pill formula into the furnaces in one go. Relying on having enough split souls, he refined all the spirit herbs simultaneously after they entered the pill furnaces.

Seeing Long Xuan refine pills this way, the judges could not help but twitch their mouths. It was their first time seeing anyone refine pills like this. It was simply utter nonsense.

Originally, the remaining time was not enough to refine even one furnace of pills. But how could this method not be fast? So long as the furnace did not explode, he might really be able to squeeze out enough time.

This pill-refining method aroused the curiosity of many people, and they could not help turning their eyes toward him, trying to steal a lesson or two.

At this point, Long Xiaoyao finally relaxed. Never mind the quality of the pills; at least they could be completed within the allotted time.

Yet he soon frowned lightly again. Although Long Xuan was refining five furnaces at once, the pills in those five furnaces were clearly different types.

The rules of the third round were not about who refined the most pills, but about scoring based on the value of the pills refined. Just what was Long Xuan doing? Long Xiaoyao could not puzzle it out no matter how hard he thought, and his brow furrowed ever deeper.
