"What's wrong with him?" An inner disciple asked.
"Senior brother, you may not know, but this Ling Xiao once defeated the 26th and 10th outer disciple, the Half-step Master, with his cultivation at the peak of the eighth stage of the Martial Vein. He broke the record of the Yuehua School for 100,000 years."
The old outer disciple replied.
"Hehe, the element of chance is greater in the challenge of martial arts. However, alchemy is different. Alchemy requires proficiency and experience. It also requires an outstanding flame to complement it. Ling Xiao is playing with fire. His tail is already wagging to the sky."
The inner disciple was also an apprentice of the Medicine Hall. Naturally, he knew how difficult alchemy was, so he didn't believe that Ling Xiao could defeat Qing Mu.
In fact, except for Yang Danlin and Lan Yu'er, all the audience thought so.
Even the three elders of the Medicine Hall, who were the judges, thought so.
These three elders' cultivation and alchemy skills were on par with Yang Danlin's. However, they were a few decades older than Yang Danlin and were nearing the end of their lives. Nevertheless, they were still the treasures of the Yuehua Sect.
At the very least, there would be no problems with their judgment, so they would be very fair as the judges.
"Well, let's not waste any more time. You two can start now. Today, each of you will refine a set of dans. Let's refine a 'high-grade True Elemental Dan'. The materials have already been prepared, that's all. Whoever has the highest success rate and the highest perfection rate will be the winner. "
One of the elders announced the start of the alchemy.
The high-grade True Elemental Dan was a low-grade elixir. It was not even qualified to be called a yellow-grade elixir. However, it was the best elixir for Martial Vein Realm warriors to improve their internal force and cultivation.
In the secular world, it was difficult to find a single elixir.
This alchemy competition was about operation, not ability, so it was impossible to give Ling Xiao an elixir that he couldn't refine.
After all, no matter how good Ling Xiao was, he was just a low-grade alchemist. He could only refine low-grade elixirs.
If Ling Xiao could refine the same elixir better than Qing Mu, then he would win.
In terms of selecting materials, Ling Xiao's speed was obviously faster and more accurate.
Even though the materials were already prepared, it was entirely up to them to decide how much to use or how little to use. If they used too much or too little, there would be problems.
After selecting the materials, the two of them began to grind and roll the balls. Although this process was boring, it was necessary.
After that, the two of them put the twenty Life Pills into the alchemy furnace almost at the same time.
The Life Pill was a pill that had not been refined and did not possess the special effects of a pill.
What came next was the key.
"Wow! It's the Civil and Martial Saint Fire Martial Spirit! "
Suddenly, the onlookers exclaimed.
Ling Xiao hadn't lit the fire yet. He turned to look at Qing Mu.
A ball of flame appeared behind Greenwood. What was interesting was that half of the flame was incomparably ferocious, as if it could incinerate everything. The other half was very gentle, but it was obvious that the effect of continuous heating was better.
In the process of alchemy, there was a saying that there was a difference between civil and military.
The so-called Gentle Fire was the slow enhancement of power in the form of a thin stream flowing in a long stream. The so-called Martial Fire was the activation of a strong power.
The Civil and Martial Sacred Fire had the characteristics of both civil and martial fires, and its effect was even more outstanding. It was very suitable to be used for alchemy.
Ling Xiao glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and began to focus on his alchemy.
Qing Mu's Civil and Martial Sacred Fire was indeed powerful, but it was enough to refine a low-grade True Essence Pill.
Ling Xiao had already refined a high-grade True Essence Pill no less than a thousand times in the Mountain River World, and had long since reached the point of perfection.
The key was that the Mountain River World could simulate alchemy, and the process did not consume any materials. Of course, the refined elixirs could not be used.
However, this process was almost no different from refining pills in the real world. Therefore, the pill refining techniques that Ling Xiao learned were all real and there was nothing fake about it.
However, Ling Xiao still encountered some small problems.
He found that there was something wrong with his Life Pill.
Generally speaking, the humidity, age, quality, and so on of the same batch of materials should be about the same.
However, after refining the Life Pill, Ling Xiao suddenly found that the situation was wrong. His materials were too wet, as if someone had deliberately sprinkled water on them.
In the crowd, two people were whispering to each other.
"Hehe, that brat will lose for sure. His materials have been soaked by a special spring water. This kind of spring water has a very high ignition point, and ordinary fire can't evaporate it at all. His pill will never be able to be refined, unless he uses one of the twelve divine flames."
"Well done. If Hall Master Qing Mu wins this time, then he will be the real Hall Master of the Medicine Hall. In the future, you won't have to do the hard work of transporting materials. You can cultivate by my side." “
The second person was none other than Hei Suo.
Hei Suo had been looking for a way to deal with Ling Xiao, but for such a long time, Ling Xiao either returned to the cave or was with Lan Yu 'er or Yang Danlin. He had no idea where to start.
However, this time, Ling Xiao wanted to compete with Qing Mu in alchemy. He didn't know what was wrong with him.
Hall Master Yang, Yang Danlin, even used his position as Hall Master as a bet.
How could Hei Suo not seize this opportunity to trip up Ling Xiao?
It was not that he didn't believe in the ability of Deputy Hall Master Qing Mu, but he felt that Ling Xiao had too many accidents. So, in order to be foolproof, he asked the people who transported the materials to do something to Ling Xiao's materials.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Hei Suo!"
Hei Suo smiled and looked at the square again.
At this time, Yang Danlin and Lan Yu 'er also noticed that something was wrong.
Because Ling Xiao, who was supposed to light the fire, didn't light it at this time. Instead, he sat there in a daze.
With their vision, it was not difficult for them to find that there was something wrong with the materials.
"Old Hall Master, should we announce a pause? It will be troublesome if it goes on like this."
Lan Yu 'er asked nervously.
Yang Danlin's face also showed a serious expression. He used his position as Medicinal Hall Master as a bet. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel any pressure, especially when he knew that Ling Xiao's materials had been tampered with.
"No, if we interrupt the competition now, others will think that we are cheating."
Yang Danlin shook his head. He didn't want to interrupt the competition, but once it was interrupted, he would have no face to continue to be the Medicinal Hall Master in the future.
Even if it was found that someone had tampered with the materials, it would be his incompetence. It would have nothing to do with Qing Mu.
"But if it goes on like this, we will lose."
Lan Yu 'er was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, let's wait and see. Anyway, the alchemy time of the high-grade Zhenyuan Dan is half an hour. It's still early."
Yang Danlin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. His fate had been involved with Ling Xiao. Now, he could only hope that Ling Xiao could solve the problem by himself.
Would a miracle happen?
Whew ~ ~
Ling Xiao let out a long sigh and tried his best to calm himself down.
