Qian Zhengchen glanced meaningfully at Qin Yichen's platform before his lips curled into a confident smile. With a wave of his hand, he threw the Scarlet Flame Fruit into the pill furnace.
It was obvious that he had already noticed Qin Yichen.
He was very surprised that Qin Yichen was able to surpass him in identifying herbs.
However, purification was not that simple.
The second test was to test everyone's strength.
Firstly, it tested one's Mental Energy.
If one's Mental Energy was not strong enough, everything would be in vain.
The Scarlet Cliff Fruit was not that easy to purify!
The word 'Cliff' in its name meant that its hardness was comparable to that of a rock.
Even an alchemist at the Spirit Breakthrough Stage would find it difficult to purify if their Mental Energy was too low.
Qin Yichen seemed to have felt Qian Zhengchen's gaze as he shook his head slightly and chuckled in his heart. He picked up the Scarlet Cliff Fruit and threw it into the pill furnace in front of him.
Then, with a single thought, the flames in the cauldron began to burn.
The flame in the pill furnace did not seem to be strong and did not emit a terrifyingly high temperature like the others.
This scene immediately fell into the eyes of many people who had been observing him.
"That's not right. He defeated Gan Li, so his Mental Energy should be at the Spirit Breakthrough Stage. Why is the flame so weak?"
"How can that flame purify the Scarlet Cliff Fruit?"
"Looks like he used too much energy in the first round and his Mental Energy is not enough …"
Discussions broke out all around as they discussed Qin Yichen's change.
In the crowd, Shen Fangu furrowed his brows. "Could it be that he really used too much energy?"
He did not believe it, but he could not explain Qin Yichen's strange situation.
That weak flame and that weak temperature could not possibly purify the Scarlet Cliff Fruit.
"What a pity …"
Even Chen Yun, who was on the high platform, sighed.
So far, Qin Yichen's performance could be said to be the best. She had also seen the situation in the first round and knew that it was indeed unfair to Qin Yichen.
Beside her, Dan Xuan didn't say anything. As he watched Qin Yichen's actions, a trace of doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes.
This was because Qin Yichen did not show any signs of mental exhaustion.
This meant that Qin Yichen's Spiritual Power was not completely depleted like the others claimed.
However, he couldn't understand why Qin Yichen's spiritual flame was so weak.
In the crowd, Ouyang Wensu, who had been eliminated, came to Ouyang Haotian.
The expression on his face right now could be described as marvelous.
Originally, he wanted to put Qin Yichen in his place, but he never imagined that he would lose to a girl younger than him...
Although he had underestimated his opponent, he could feel Gongshu Zhiyi's terrifying Spiritual Power the moment he was shot down.
Ouyang Haotian just glanced at him with an indifferent attitude.
This caused Ouyang Wensu's heart to tremble. She opened her mouth to explain, "I just …"
Ouyang Haotian raised his hand to stop her from continuing. This caused Ouyang Wensu's heart to sink.
Ouyang Haotian knew best what kind of person he was.
Ouyang Haotian would not waste any energy on a useless person.
As Qin Yichen began to make a fire and purify the pill, Ouyang Haotian's expression eased slightly.
Obviously, he also thought that the consumption in the first round was effective.
Even if Qin Yichen won first place in the herb recognition round, if his performance in this round was too poor, he would still be eliminated.
"You want to fight with me?"
Ouyang Haotian's eyes were cold as he looked at Qin Yichen, who was standing on the high platform.
...
The discussion of the crowd did not affect Qin Yichen.
After making a fire, he began to purify the pill.
Bang! Bang! Bang …
His palms were lightly patting the pill furnace. Left and right, there was no pattern or pattern to speak of.
In the eyes of the crowd, he seemed to have given up on himself.
"His temperament still needs to be improved …"
This was Chen Yun's evaluation of Qin Yichen.
Obviously, even she thought that Qin Yichen had lost his fighting spirit.
A person who had lost his fighting spirit was destined to never become a true powerhouse. Moreover, it was impossible for him to break through to the Earth Grade.
If a person could not break through to the Earth Grade, it did not matter if his talent was good or bad.
Then, she looked away. Originally, she wanted to observe Qian Zhengchen. However, she inadvertently glanced at Dan Xuan, who was next to her, and realized that Dan Xuan's attention was still on Qin Yichen.
"Why are you …"
She wanted to say something, but after seeing Dan Xuan's increasingly serious expression, she could not help but look at Qin Yichen again.
"Something's not right …"
After a while, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yun's eyes.
Although the fire in Qin Yichen's furnace was not strong, it was still very hot. The temperature in the furnace was not the highest either.
However, at this moment, she saw that the Scarlet Cliff Fruit in the furnace had begun to melt …
It was not that she had not refined the Scarlet Cliff Fruit before. She knew how difficult it was to refine the Scarlet Cliff Fruit. Even for her, it was an extremely difficult task to completely refine the Scarlet Cliff Fruit.
Moreover, it was a very time-consuming task.
Normally, an Earth Grade alchemist would need at least two hours to completely refine a Scarlet Cliff Fruit.
The test this time did not actually require one to completely refine the Scarlet Cliff Fruit. The result was actually based on the number of refinements.
However, based on the current situation, Qin Yichen was almost done with the first round of refinement …
How long had it been?
Not even two minutes!
Two minutes to complete the first refinement?!
Chen Yun could not help but be stunned.
This was because even if she adjusted herself to her best condition, it was impossible for her to refine the Scarlet Cliff Fruit in two minutes.
This made Chen Yun feel that it was ridiculous.
Could it be that this young man was stronger than her?
How was that possible?
It was also because of this that Chen Yun began to take Qin Yichen seriously.
"This technique …"
After a while, her eyes widened slightly.
This was because she realized that Qin Yichen's seemingly disorderly palm technique, every palm and every slap was just right. His overall movements also looked like flowing water, without the slightest bit of hesitation or stagnation.
At this moment, she finally understood why Dan Xuan had been paying attention to Qin Yichen.
Just this alchemy technique alone was enough to attract the attention of both of them. She could even see a hint of burning desire in Dan Xuan's eyes.
Obviously, Dan Xuan was moved.
Compared to this alchemy technique, their current technique was too crude.
If they could obtain this alchemy technique, it would definitely increase their alchemy efficiency by a large margin.
