At this moment, only five people remained in the center of the square. Aside from Lu Ren, the dark horse, the other four were all renowned alchemists of the Tianxu Immortal Realm.
Lu Ren brought out his Pill Furnace, grabbed three Calamity Ash Return to Ruin Fruits, and tossed them all into the furnace before controlling the flames and beginning the refinement.
He had chosen to refine three Calamity Ash Return to Ruin Fruits for two reasons: first, to enter the top three; second, for Luo Hongyi.
Luo Hongyi had given him the Supreme Emperor Immortal Pill, allowing his immortal soul to step into the Forbidden Level. Naturally, he had to refine a potent Calamity Ash Return to Ruin Pill to help Luo Hongyi restore her Calamity Origin.
"Could it be that Lu Ren is refining a Calamity Ash Return to Ruin Pill? Why did he toss three Calamity Ash Return to Ruin Fruits into the Pill Furnace?"
Quite a few alchemists asked in confusion.
In their understanding, only two fruits were needed to refine a Calamity Ash Return to Ruin Pill.
"Look, the pill Master Gu Ling is refining seems to be a Questioning Immortal Pill!"
"Pill Demon Child has refined a Three Lives Disaster Avoidance Pill, Ghost Pill Son is refining a Nirvana Return Soul Pill, and Mute Furnace Medicine Venerable is refining a Great Yin True Yang Pill. Hiss—this battle for the top three is far too fierce!"
"If all five of them manage to refine their pills, how are the rankings supposed to be judged?"
Many alchemists grew excited, especially as they watched the five alchemists' flame-control techniques, marveling without end.
The second round lasted a long time. Even Master Gu Ling took a full two hours before completing his refinement.
