After that expert made his announcement, nearly a thousand medicinal cauldrons of various shapes and sizes appeared in the plaza. Within those medicinal cauldrons, there was a strange flame slowly rising.
"Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! Swish! "After taking out the cauldrons, the alchemists began to throw all sorts of strange herbs into the cauldrons. Then, they used a special power to control the temperature of the cauldrons to refine the herbs.
Among the nearly a thousand alchemists, the one that received the most attention was undoubtedly the Palace Master of the Jade Lady Palace, Hu Feifei. She was a Four Star Alchemist with a great reputation in the Towering Sky Region. Regardless of whether it was her alchemy technique or her control over the temperature of the flames, she was far above the majority of the alchemists.
However, there was an exception, and that was Wang Yanran. At this moment, Wang Yanran's technique was also as smooth as flowing water. Her left hand was controlling the flame, and her right hand was mixing the herbs. Her sequence was clear, and her movements were fast and orderly. However, for such a weak alchemist without any background, it was impossible for her to attract the attention of others.
Alchemy was an extremely time-consuming matter. A High Grade Pill would sometimes take an alchemist a year, or even several years. That was why a High Grade Pill was so expensive. Apart from being able to refine a High Grade Pill, the speed of an alchemist's alchemy was also the representation of an alchemist's strength.
Therefore, the rule of this competition was that if two alchemists refined a pill of the same grade and quality, the winner would be determined based on the alchemist's refining speed.
"Buzz."
Just two hours after the Alchemy Grand Meeting, a powerful radiance was suddenly emitted from the plaza. After the radiance disappeared, a Pill that was surrounded by a faint radiance appeared.
"High Grade Earth-Rank Pill!!!"
When the pill appeared, a huge uproar was set off in the spectator seats. There were almost no weaklings here, and the Soul Energy of those who had reached this level was not weak. Therefore, they could all feel the energy contained in the pill. It was actually a High Grade Earth Tier Pill.
Refining a high grade Earth Rank Pill within a short two hours was simply terrifying. This sudden scene had attracted the attention of many alchemists. At the same time, an indescribable pressure pressed down on them.
Because most of them had chosen to refine a high-grade Earth Rank pill, yet someone had actually succeeded at this moment. So, besides surpassing that person in terms of quality, they would probably suffer the fate of being eliminated.
The person who had refined the pill was wearing a long cloak. The cloak completely covered his face, and no one could clearly see who he was. However, to be able to refine a pill so quickly, it was enough to prove that this person was extraordinary.
However, after successfully refining the pill, one needed to hand the pill over to the people from the Holy Pill Clan. After that, one would enter the waiting area for the alchemist to wait for the final evaluation.
When the mysterious alchemist sat down, he finally took off the cloak that was covering his face. At this moment, his face finally appeared in everyone's sight. What was surprising was that the young alchemist in the arena was actually an old man in his sixties.
"So it's the sect leader of the Pill Sect, the unknown old man."
"It is unexpected that such an old generation alchemist grandmaster would actually come to participate in this kind of grand meeting. Looks like the allure of the Holy Pill Clan to alchemists cannot be underestimated."
When the appearance of the old man appeared, waves of discussion began to resound from beside Xing Jue. From this, it also allowed Xing Jue to know the identity of this mysterious alchemist.
"Dammit, this kind of old demon actually came to participate in this kind of competition. How shameless."
However, compared to the attitude of the people in the audience seats who were watching a show, the young alchemists in the arena revealed unhappy expressions. Clearly, they were furious that this unknown old man had come to participate in this kind of grand meeting that belonged to the young.
However, the unknown old man did not care about the strange gazes from everyone. Instead, his gaze was locked onto the Jade Maiden Palace's Palace Master, Hu Feifei. From the looks of it, in his eyes, his only opponent was Hu Feifei.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud and clear explosion erupted from the square. At the same time, a small-scale energy ripple was also emitted from it. When everyone threw their gazes over, they discovered that it was actually emitted from an alchemist's medicinal cauldron.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, the alchemist's face was dark and his clothes were a little tattered. It was clear that his body had suffered some light injuries. At this moment, he was looking at the medicinal cauldron in front of him and was continuously complaining. From his expression, everyone could tell that he had failed to refine the pill.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."
After that alchemist, there were continuous failures in the arena. According to the rules of this alchemy grand meeting, the alchemist who failed would be disqualified.
"Looks like that unknown old man has given everyone quite a bit of pressure."
Xing Jue said with a faint smile as he looked at the young alchemists who were leaving with resentment in their hearts. Then, he looked at Wang Yanran's medicinal cauldron.
"Could it be that Senior Sister Wang is going to refine a Heaven-Rank Pill?"
However, when Xing Jue focused his gaze on Wang Yanran's medicinal cauldron, he could not help but reveal a shocked expression. This was because he realized that compared to other alchemists' medicinal cauldrons, the medicinal herbs in Wang Yanran's medicinal cauldron did not have the embryonic form of a pill.
However, Wang Yanran had clearly put in a large amount of medicinal herbs and rare items. Whether it was refining speed or the amount she put in, she was far above most alchemists. The reason for this was that Wang Yanran wanted to refine a Heaven-Rank Pill.
Time passed bit by bit. Most of the alchemists' medicinal cauldrons were almost done refining the pill. There were alchemists who continuously succeeded in refining the pill, but there were also alchemists who failed at the most crucial moment.
Gradually, there were only two people left in the huge arena. They were the Jade Lady Temple's Palace Mistress Hu Feifei and Wang Yanran.
"This girl is not simple."
"I don't think I've heard of her before."
"Where did a rookie with such talent in alchemy suddenly appear?"
At this moment, the inconspicuous Wang Yanran finally became one of the focal points of millions of people. At this time, many experienced alchemists and experts who didn't know alchemy finally realized that this seemingly unremarkable woman actually had a deep and unfathomable strength.
"This little girl is indeed not simple. Looks like she's the same as Hu Feifei, refining a Heaven-Rank Pill."
"Eh, the two of them have already entered the final stage. With such a refining speed, other than the support of precious natural treasures, it is also inseparable from the two of them's alchemy skills."
"However, I wonder which of the two of them will be the first to refine the Heaven-Rank Pill."
Looking at the two people left in the arena, the Sacred Pill Clan's elder on the high platform also revealed an expectant gaze.
"It has indeed been many years since I have seen an alchemist with such talent. Both of them possess the qualification to enter my Sacred Pill Clan." Seeing this, the other elder also stroked his white beard and spoke with narrowed eyes.
After hearing the words of the two elders, the two young clansmen of the Sacred Dan Clan revealed awkward expressions. However, they did not say anything. Instead, they continued to look at Wang Yanran and Hu Fei Fei.
At this moment, Wang Yanran did not have the time to care about everyone's attention. She had placed all of her energy into the cauldron.
Wang Yanran had spent several years and countless experiments to develop the refining method of the Heaven-Rank Pill. After a month of constant study, she was already familiar with it.
However, the Heaven-Rank Pill was incomparable to the Earth-Rank Pill. Even if she had completely grasped the refining method, there was still a chance of failure. Furthermore, the chance was extremely high, so she could not afford any mistakes.
However, compared to Wang Yanran, the Jade Lady Temple's Palace Mistress, Hu Feifei, seemed a little anxious. She never expected that there would be a second person other than her who would choose to refine a Heaven-grade Supreme Pill in such a grand event.
At this moment, Hu Feifei suddenly looked at Dugu Feng, who was on the VIP platform, and gave him a special gaze and a hint.
"Heh." Seeing this, the corner of Dugu Feng's mouth rose, revealing a strange smile.
"What is it? Are you trying to play a trick? "But even their subtle movements did not escape Xing Jue's eyes. That's because Xing Jue already knew that there was something going on between the two of them, and that they would not be too obedient.
However, at this moment, Xing Jue was very curious as to what kind of method Dugu Feng would use to escape the gazes of the crowd and unknowingly attack Wang Yanran. After all, there were quite a few experts here, especially the two elders of the Sacred Dan Clan. Although their auras were completely concealed, their auras had already told everyone how terrifying they were.
"Buzz." Suddenly, with a thought from Dugu Feng, a formless Soul Energy came from his body and shot towards Wang Yanran without anyone noticing.
"It's actually a Soul Attack?"
Dugu Feng's Soul Attack naturally did not escape from Xing Jue's Soul Detection. Although Dugu Feng's Soul Attack was not powerful, it could still cause quite a bit of damage to a high level Martial God like Wang Yanran. Although it would not be fatal, if it hit, it would definitely cause Wang Yanran's refining to fail.
"How despicable."
"But if you want to play with Souls, you're still too inexperienced."
However, Xing Jue felt disdain towards Dugu Feng's attack. With a thought, a Soul Energy that was several times stronger than Dugu Feng's burst out. Moreover, it was several times faster than Dugu Feng's as it burst towards the plaza.
