The time limit for the first round was 3 hours.
Therefore, for Ling Xiao, he had more than enough time.
When he sensed the malicious intent of the first round, he didn't dare to concoct pills recklessly.
Pill recipes, ingredients, he started comparing them one by one.
Being careful was very important for an alchemist.
Of course, this process was nothing to him, because he had the Tai Chi Eye.
Mister Dongguo, who was mixed in with the ingredients, was quickly identified by him.
If there were any problems with the pill recipes, he would be able to carefully find them.
This type of pill wasn't a high grade pill.
It was given to those who had just broken through to the Divine Core realm.
If he wanted to concoct it, he would only need 10 minutes.
Even an ordinary alchemist would only need an hour to concoct it.
So, why was he given 3 hours?
There was a lot to learn about this.
Those who started concocting pills in a hurry were really stupid. He didn't know why they were in such a hurry.
There was no one chasing after them.
Separated by the black wall, he activated the Tai Chi Eye and saw Yu Dan and Lu Ling were also carefully examining the ingredients and pill recipes.
Although he hated Lu Ling, and didn't have a good impression of Yu Dan.
But, he had to admit that all excellent alchemists had the same characteristic.
That was being careful.
If not, these two alchemists wouldn't have such good results in the preliminaries.
All the traps in the first round were the most basic alchemy knowledge.
As long as an alchemist studied hard, they would be able to discover them.
But, there were some alchemists.
What they learned, they would quickly return to their teachers.
Dozens of minutes later.
Another tens of thousands of alchemists were eliminated.
When these alchemists were eliminated, they still didn't understand why they failed.
"So malicious!"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.
After dozens of minutes of comparison and inspection.
He found out that there were dozens of traps in the first round.
Some of the small traps, even if they weren't discovered, wouldn't affect the pill concoction process, but the final result wouldn't be good.
And some of the traps, once they weren't discovered, they would completely fail.
"Concocting pills with water?"
Ling Xiao smiled.
After comparing the ingredients and the pill formula, he discovered this unknown pill.
It contained a lot of water element.
He couldn't concoct pills with fire, otherwise, he would fail right from the start.
Now, he somewhat understood why so many people were eliminated from the beginning.
He had probably fallen into this trap.
In fact, it wasn't difficult to discover this trap.
But it really required patience and care.
Once he panicked and started to refine pills, it would be a waste.
There were only so many medicinal herbs in total, so failure was absolutely not allowed.
This was because an Alchemist would not be able to successfully concoct a pill of this grade on the first try.
The Yu Family didn't need it.
There was no problem in directly eliminating them.
"Hmm?"
After a while, Ling Xiao realized that Yu Dan and Lu Ling had already started refining pills.
Sure enough, the two of them were using the water method to refine pills.
Refining pills with water techniques was also very particular.
The first method was to use the high temperature of the water element to refine the medicinal herbs and refine the medicinal pills. The refined pills were the Water Pills.
However, the medicinal pills refined using the water method were actually not very effective.
Therefore, other than this method.
Another method was to infuse water elements into the flames.
Precise control of the proportions.
As a result, the flame would not be extinguished, but it could be used to refine pills.
But those who could achieve this were truly as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
It was probably not easy for even the Luluo Cult leader to do it.
And what Ling Xiao wanted to do now was this kind of pill refinement.
With the cooperation of the Taiji Eye, he was confident that he could succeed on the first try.
Whoosh!
A ball of flame appeared in his hand.
This flame was very strange, showing a blue light, as if it had a cold feeling.
"Is he also going to make such a stupid mistake?"
The Luluo Cult leader was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he didn't like Ling Xiao.
But he was still very impressed by Ling Xiao's performance in the preliminaries.
But now, Ling Xiao actually showed a flame.
What was he doing?
"There seems to be something wrong with his flames."
The shopkeeper of Baohe Hall frowned.
"This is … the Flame of Water Fusion! How can this be! "
After being reminded by him, the Luluo Cult leader took a closer look and was instantly shocked.
"I didn't expect that the Fire Emperor's disciple had already reached such a level.
Sigh, from the beginning, Lu Ling had lost! "
The Luluo Cult leader sighed helplessly.
Although the first round of the examination was not over yet.
But just from this level, the Luluo Cult leader was sure that at least in the first round, Ling Xiao's performance would be better than Lu Ling's.
"Why did he lose?"
Yu Xiangtian asked in confusion.
After all, he was not an expert in pill refinement, so he was somewhat confused.
"Let me explain it to you like this. The difficulty of controlling the Flame of Water Fusion is very difficult even for me."
The Luluo Cult leader smiled bitterly. "Let's make an example.
It's also cooking, but if it's overcooked, it will definitely be eliminated.
And Lu Ling and Yu Dan are more normal cooking methods, so they can make a very good pot of rice.
But Ling Xiao's cooking is the best!
It's because the methods are different.
This is a problem of skill. Yu Dan and Lu Ling can think of it, but they can't do it. "
"I see!"
Hearing the Luluo Cult leader's explanation, Yu Xiangtian's eyes lit up.
His gaze towards Ling Xiao was even more greedy.
If this person could stay in the Yu family, it would be a great fortune for the Yu family.
Ling Xiao naturally did not know what the outside world was talking about.
The control of the Flame of Water Fusion was very difficult.
But under the control of the Tai Chi Eye, it was also very simple for him.
He carefully put the herbs he needed into the cauldron.
Then, he controlled the Flame of Water Fusion to refine them.
Because of the openness of this pill formula, there were many things that could only be explored by oneself.
Normal pill formulas, other than the requirements of the herbs, had detailed records of the heat and so on.
But these records were not written down, but attached to the pill formula through soul force.
But this pill formula was not that complicated.
Therefore, whether it was the control of the heat, the order of the herbs, etc.
They all had to be controlled by oneself.
This was a test of the alchemist's control and creativity.
If it was an alchemist who only knew how to memorize and rely on fixed pill formulas.
Then he would definitely not be able to pass this stage.
This stage was particular about meticulousness, patience, and creativity!
In other words, what kind of pill could be refined in the end was all up to the alchemist himself.
This made Ling Xiao's pill refining process much longer.
Just the refinement of the herbs took a lot of time.
At the same time, Yu Dan and Lu Ling were also experiencing the same thing.
Although it was a water method to refine the pills, the refinement of the herbs and the control of the water temperature still needed to be paid attention.
The slightest mistake could cause them to lose the whole game.
However, the two of them looked very calm.
Obviously, this kind of most basic test was not difficult for them.
With the strength of these two people, they should be able to pass the first round easily.
