"This Qin Yichen … What is he up to now?"
Shen Fangu had just become an Earth Grade alchemist, and his eyes were not as sharp as Dan Xuan and Chen Yun's. Looking at Qin Yichen, who looked like he had given up on himself, he could not help but cover his face with his hands.
This guy, why was he never normal?
If it was said that he had recognized the herbs earlier because of his vast knowledge, then this purification could not be faked in the slightest. If he was not giving up on himself, could it be that he was using a shortcut?
"Ai, what a pity. If he did not give up on himself, with his heaven-defying results, it would not be difficult for him to enter the final stone platform."
"Yes, as long as he is not last in this round, he will be able to enter the final ten stone platforms. I really do not understand the meaning behind his actions."
"Could it be that he does not want to enter the final round?"
"That is also possible. After all, with Qian Zhengchen here, there is no hope for him to obtain first place. If he waits for another ten years, there will definitely be no one who can stop him."
In the spectator stands, whispers could be heard. For some reason, compared to those who were refining properly, everyone's eyes were all fixed on Qin Yichen.
Perhaps, they wanted to see Qin Yichen fail, or perhaps … they were hoping to see another miracle happen?
Of course, they did not know that this was all because of Qin Yichen's seemingly disorderly method, but it hid a comfortable and smooth technique!
However, under everyone's gazes, after about forty to fifty minutes, Qin Yichen clapped his hands, and his hands stopped on the alchemy furnace, no longer moving.
As his slender hands stopped moving, Dan Xuan and Chen Yun's eyes emitted a dazzling light, and a deep shock spread from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, for some reason, those who were staring at Qin Yichen felt an inexplicable sense of loss when he stopped moving.
Of course, regarding this, they only took it as their benevolence, and felt pity for this youth who had displayed such amazing strength.
If he stopped at this moment, he would be branded as having given up!
The process of purification was different from recognizing herbs.
Recognizing herbs was difficult, but because of time, one's results were also determined. Among them, there was no lack of knowledgeable people who would often announce that they had finished recognizing herbs in advance.
However, purification was completely different!
This was because Dan Province's Alchemy Competition was the competition of the younger generation in the Tian Long Dynasty's alchemy world.
And every time during the purification segment, the Alchemist Guild would bring out some extremely difficult to refine pills, but at the highest standard of the contestants, they would barely be able to refine the pills slightly.
Hence, from ancient times until now, no one had ever ended the purification segment in advance during the Pill Palace Conference.
Of course, this did not include people like Qin Yichen who had given up in the eyes of everyone.
"What a pity. I hope to see him Up to the Competition in ten years.......
"Yeah, there's no suspense anymore. With Qian Zhengchen here, the champion of the Pill Palace Conference has long been taken by him."
"Sigh, let's go …"
The disappointment in many people's hearts had yet to dissipate. They shook their heads and sighed on behalf of Qin Yichen. Sighs and sighs could be heard all around the plaza.
"Time's up. Contestants, please stop refining!"
Finally, when the sand above the giant hourglass had run out, an elder on the high platform announced loudly.
As his voice rang out, the 20-odd people on the platform paused regretfully. Among them, there were a few who looked extremely gloomy. They hadn't even managed to refine once!
"Hmm?"
Qian Zhengchen also stopped refining. His gaze swept over to Qin Yichen's platform, only to discover that the latter's hands were placed on top of the pill furnace. It was obvious that he had stopped refining a long time ago. Qian Zhengchen's drowsy look suggested that he hadn't refined at all, perhaps because he had used up too much energy!
"Hmph! I thought you were something, but you're just so-so!"
Qian Zhengchen's eyes narrowed as a sense of exhaustion washed over him. He had used all his strength in this round of refining. He had refined the Scarlet Crag Fruit four times!
An ordinary Spirit Breakthrough Realm alchemist wouldn't be able to do it once, but he had refined the entire Scarlet Crag Fruit four times. He had refined almost half of the Scarlet Crag Fruit!
He was confident that this result was enough to crush all the other contestants!
"Alright, allow this old man to announce the results of the participants!"
The elder who had previously tested Qin Yichen's medicine recognition results stood in the middle of the stone platform and announced.
Then, under the respectful gazes of the crowd, he began to test from the stone platform at the very front.
The stone platform at the very front was naturally Qian Zhengchen's. When he took out the Scarlet Crag Fruit from the pill furnace, the latter had already shown signs of melting!
"Qian Zhengchen, refining four times. Not bad!"
Seeing that Qian Zhengchen had actually reached this stage, the elder couldn't help but praise him. He was indeed worthy of being called the number one alchemist among the younger generation in Sky Dragon Imperial City!
Even if it was him, he would have to give it his all to achieve this in just one hour.
"Tsk, refining four times. Doesn't that mean he has refined almost half of it?!"
"What a monster. He has only just broken through to the Spirit Breakthrough Realm!"
"Tsk tsk, once he breaks through to the Earth Grade, I'm afraid his ability will be far beyond that of the younger generation of alchemists in Sky Dragon Imperial City!"
"Yes, as expected of Qian Zhengchen!"
Qian Zhengchen raised his head slightly amidst the exclamations of admiration and flattery. Although his appearance was a little too arrogant, everyone felt that he was being too arrogant because he had the right to be arrogant in the first place!
"Yes, Luo Xiujie, refining twice."
"Bai Caizhe, refining twice."
"Chang Xinlei, incomplete refining."
"…"
As the elder walked past each stone platform, the contestants' refining times were also announced one by one.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, the elder's footsteps paused on a platform. After which, he slowly said, "Shen Ling, refine it twice!"
"Twice?"
"F * ck, it can't be. She actually refined twice like Luo Xiujie?!"
Hearing this announcement, the originally whispering plaza suddenly burst into a huge commotion. Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief as they shot towards the elder's hand.
When they saw the Scarlet Crag Fruit that was only slightly softer than the one taken out from Luo Xiujie's pill furnace, the clamorous voices of doubt slowly died down.
