Pill Refinement
Liu Yiyi's long robe fluttered in the wind, her jade-white arms attracting everyone's attention.
Long Chen couldn't help but nod, thinking that Liu Yiyi was indeed a rare pill fanatic. Even with so many people watching, she wasn't the slightest bit distracted.
Moreover, her technique was quite ingenious. With the help of the Small Pinch Hands, no matter if it was taking out or putting in spirit herbs, it wouldn't cause any changes. One had to know that spirit herbs were extremely fragile when they came into contact with the pill cauldron. Every movement could cause the pill's medicinal energy to dissipate …
Immediately after, everyone saw that Liu Yiyi had deliberately lowered the ratio of the Thousand Leaf Lotus by a third. Relying on Little Pinch Nimble Hands, she could easily do it without the slightest difference. Her movements were agile and beautiful, and her movements were like beautiful dance steps.
After the spirit herbs were placed in the cauldron, her palms moved from outside the cauldron, and the entire cauldron began to rotate.
At the same time, the Spirit Gathering Formation outside the cauldron flickered slightly. Faint streaks of fire circulated, as if they were forming lines.
If there was a Formation Grandmaster present, he would definitely be shocked by this scene, because this Spirit Gathering Formation was activated by the flames below!
…
Minutes and seconds passed, but the crowd didn't feel bored at all. Watching Liu Yiyi refine pills was really pleasing to the eye.
Buzz.
As the cauldron was covered, the flames retreated. All they needed to do was wait for the cauldron to cool down, and the pill would be ready.
Liu Yiyi immediately shouted happily, her small hands holding Long Chen's right hand and shaking it like a happy child. "No exploding pills, no exploding pills! Yiyi can also refine pills with cracks! "
Long Chen looked at Liu Yiyi's innocent smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
On the other hand, Cheng Qi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't help but clench his fists as he said coldly, "I want to see how your so-called cracked pills compare to my third grade spirit rank Three-Leaf Qi Gathering Pill!"
The surrounding people also shook their heads, and some even leaned close to the cauldron and took two deep breaths.
One of them directly said, "This pill has no fragrance at all. Since the pill is ready, it should be fragrant and not as bland as water …"
Everyone nodded. Thinking back to the medicinal pill that Cheng Qi took out just now, it was really full of fragrance. The spiritual energy was pressing and refreshing.
In comparison, everyone secretly thought that Liu Yiyi's upper layer was not shallow. Otherwise, with her series of perfect techniques just now, she could have refined a Three-Leaf Qi Gathering Pill that was not inferior to Cheng Qi's.
Long Chen remained unmoved from beginning to end. He stared at the cauldron and said indifferently, "There are still ten breaths before the cauldron can be opened. At that time, we will find someone to test it …"
Cheng Qi saw that Long Chen was still spouting nonsense at this time, and had no intention of being exposed. He couldn't help but sneer, and said to a person in the crowd, "Go find Elder Niu, I want to make him accept his defeat wholeheartedly!"
"Kid, Elder Niu is the most famous alchemist in our Pill Tower. No matter what kind of medicinal pill it is, what kind of medicinal pill it is, what grade it is, as long as it enters his mouth, he will know it clearly. Moreover, his life is known by all alchemists in the empire, and he will never side with anyone!"
Cheng Qi stared at Long Chen with a sneer. There was no other reason for doing this. The only reason was that he was afraid that Long Chen would not admit defeat and instead accuse the Pill Tower of colluding with them.
Ten breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye.
An old man with a square face, big eyes, and thick lips walked in with a long beard. His face was full of seriousness, and the people around couldn't help but make a path for him.
Elder Niu was also a Soul Formation cultivator and a Spirit Rank alchemist. He was very old-fashioned and had a crazy passion for alchemy. He had never made a mistake in alchemy, and he would never side with anyone, so he was very famous.
Even the president of the Pill Tower once said that if he devoted himself to alchemy, perhaps he would have already become a grandmaster alchemist.
On the other side, Liu Yiyi had already impatiently opened the cauldron and took out the three pills inside.
Everyone looked at the pills and immediately discovered that there were three cracks from top to bottom. The Three Leaf Qi Gathering Pill was not the usual light green color, but rather a slight greenish-red color.
"Greetings, Elder Niu. I invited Elder Niu here today to evaluate these two Qi Gathering Pills, so as to prevent Yiyi from being bewitched by this person …"
Cheng Qi took a deep look at Long Chen, then sneered and handed the third grade Spirit Rank pill to Elder Niu.
Elder Niu nodded and took the pill, then looked at it with a divine light in his eyes. He then sighed and said, "Not bad, this Three Leaf Qi Gathering Pill has already reached the peak. It can refine a second grade spirit medicine into a third grade spirit medicine. It is truly uncanny workmanship."
Hearing Elder Niu's praise, Cheng Qi couldn't help but laugh. He raised his head and said politely, "Elder Niu is too kind."
The surrounding people also secretly thought that the result was self-evident. Compared to Cheng Qi's pill, Liu Yiyi's Qi Gathering Pill that Long Chen had casually changed was simply not spiritual at all. In particular, the few cracks on it made them shake their heads and laugh.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of pill would undoubtedly be a waste pill …
Liu Yiyi also looked excited when she saw Elder Niu, as if she couldn't help but want to verify whether the pill in her hand had the same magical properties as the one Long Chen refined that day.
Liu Yiyi quickly walked up and said, "Grandpa Niu, this is the Qi Gathering Pill I refined. Quickly evaluate it and see if it is much better than ordinary Qi Gathering Pills …"
When Elder Niu saw Liu Yiyi, his serious expression immediately became amiable, but when he saw the Qi Gathering Pill in her hand, he couldn't help but frown. How could this kind of pill compare to the one in his hand given by Cheng Qi?
On the other hand, he also took a deep look at Long Chen and snorted coldly.
One had to know that Liu Yiyi's alchemy skills and talent were both better than Cheng Qi's. Under normal circumstances, she would never refine a spirit-grade Qi Gathering Pill into such an unsightly state.
"Let me try …"
Although he already had a definition in his heart, Elder Niu still had his own professional integrity. However, he still took the lead and threw Cheng Qi's pill into his mouth.
As the pill entered his mouth, Elder Niu closed his eyes tightly as if he was meditating. His brows would sometimes relax, sometimes knit, and sometimes he would even nod repeatedly.
"What's there to compare? This kind of waste pill can be seen at a glance. How can it compare to the third-grade spirit-grade Qi Gathering Pill refined by Cheng Qi!"
"This person really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually dares to come to our Pill Tower to cause trouble!"
"Hmph, since things have already come to this, let's just wait for him to make a fool of himself. When he is exposed, don't think about it being good today …"
While everyone was making a ruckus, Long Chen was as unmoving as a mountain. He stood beside Liu Yiyi like a pine tree. In his heart, he secretly praised Liu Yiyi's extraordinary talent. It was only her first time refining a spirit-grade Qi Gathering Pill, but she could actually produce three cracks. It was truly extraordinary.
