The Pill Stage was different from the Six Cities Genius Battle Ring. It was a special ring for Alchemists to compete.
During the Genius Battle, the Pill Stage would start at the same time. The Alchemy geniuses of the major cities could compete here. Finally, the Five Major Disciples and the strongest Young Master would be ranked according to the rankings.
The conditions to participate were the same as the Genius Battle. One must be a Rising Star and be under the age of 18. People over the age of 18 could not come onto the stage.
The previous Young Master, because he was over the age of 18, could not come onto the stage. It was also because of this that Murong Zhenjie easily became the Young Master.
Today, Murong Zhenjie turned 18. If someone wanted the position of Young Master, they would have to compete with him.
Generally speaking, it was not a shameful thing to be replaced by someone over the age of 18. Instead, it would earn them respect. After all, it was not easy to maintain the title of Young Master for several years. Such an Alchemist would eventually enter the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect or the Imperial City's Pill Alliance.
Murong Zhenjie had only been the Young Master for a year. If he could continue to be the Young Master today, it would be a glorious title.
"Gao Sheng, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Just as Zhou Yang was thinking about it, a teenager suddenly came onto the stage and pointed to another person walking out of the crowd.
Gao Sheng …..
Zhou Yang quickly looked at the ranking board beside the Pill Platform and saw that this person was in the fifth place of the Five Major Disciples Ranking Board, which was also the last place. Moreover, this person had refined a One-Mark Celestial Pill in 27 minutes and 8 seconds.
"What a fast speed."
Zhou Yang remembered that when he refined the Blue Green Pill, he had lit two incense sticks, which was half an hour. However, this Gao Sheng only took 27 minutes and 8 seconds to refine the One-Mark Celestial Pill.
Alchemy was very demanding on time. Therefore, Alchemists had a special method of timing, which was the compass.
A compass with three pointers could calculate the time. If an Alchemist refined a pill of the same quality, then the winner would be decided by time. If the quality of the pill was the same, then the winner would be decided by the quality.
"Humph, Luo Xiang, you dare to challenge me."
Gao Sheng spoke with disdain after jumping onto the stage.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Currently, in the six major cities, no more than 30 people can refine a One-Mark Celestial Pill. However, no more than 10 people can successfully refine it within half an hour. I, Luo Xiang, am one of them." Luo Xiang patted his chest and spoke.
"You're asking for trouble. Go ahead and refine. Let me see if you can break my record." Gao Sheng said disdainfully to Luo Xiang.
"Arrogant!"
In a fit of rage, Luo Xiang took out his alchemy furnace.
Zhou Yang's expression turned serious, and he immediately looked at it carefully. This was an opportunity. If he could seize this opportunity, he might be able to refine a One Mark Celestial Pill.
"This Luo Xiang's technique doesn't look simple at first glance. However, it would be difficult for him to compete with Gao Sheng. After all, he has the fastest refining speed among the current 1-mark Celestial Pills."
"That's right. Moreover, he also broke the record for refining a One Mark Celestial Pill from the previous Pill Altar Competitions, achieving a time of 27 minutes and 8 seconds."
"Luo Xiang is overestimating himself."
As the crowd discussed, Zhou Yang also glanced at the ranking board. Indeed, there were already 2-mark Celestial Pills above Gao Sheng.
"Let's see you condense the pill seal."
In the next moment, Luo Xiang began to condense a pill seal.
Zhou Yang stared closely at Luo Xiang's technique, and his fingers followed suit.
Although the Infinite Astral Souls could analyze the arrangement of the Pill Seals of the Celestial Core, it could not teach him how to quickly condense the Pill Seals. Now, as long as he could find the knack of this observation, he would no longer be able to condense the 1-Mark Celestial Core.
Zhou Yang's fingers moved quickly. When Luo Xiang finished, Zhou Yang also finished.
"This guy is really fast. He actually completed two combinations of four pill seals in less than an incense stick's time. I'm still a bit lacking, but there's still one more set of pill seals. I still have a chance."
Although he hadn't reached the requirement, he had gained a lot from watching it. At the very least, he was sure that his speed had improved a lot.
After a while, Luo Xiang's third set of pill seal combination began, and Zhou Yang's spirit was also highly concentrated.
"So fast, even faster …"
This time, Luo Xiang's speed was even faster. In less than the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, he had finished.
The audience also sighed. With such speed, he could be considered a top alchemy genius in any city.
However, this was the Six Cities Genius Battle, and only the geniuses among geniuses could enter the list.
"Pill out!"
With a low shout, Luo Xiang slammed the lid of the furnace. The next moment, a pill fragrance drifted out. From the analysis of the colour and pattern, it was indeed a One-Mark Celestial Pill.
"Refining is successful, time …"
The Deacon and the others came on stage, holding a compass in their hands.
Everyone quieted down. Luo Xiang showed a nervous look, and Gao Sheng was no longer as calm as before.
"Twenty-seven minutes and eighteen seconds, challenge Gao Sheng failed."
As soon as this statement came out, Luo Xiang sighed. Although it was only a difference of ten seconds, it showed the difference between the five great disciples and ordinary disciples.
There were only five spots, unless he could improve his speed in the last seven days.
Unfortunately, he knew that this was his limit. He would never be able to surpass Gao Sheng within a few months.
"Wasting my drinking time!"
Gao Sheng looked at Luo Xiang with disdain, turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the audience. Everyone looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Zhou Yang.
"You …."
Gao Sheng looked at Zhou Yang for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I know you, you are that Zhou Yang, right?"
"That's right, I am Zhou Yang."
"Zhou Yang, no matter how impressive you are in other arenas, this is not a place you should be." Gao Sheng's eyes were filled with arrogance as he looked at Zhou Yang with disdain.
Zhou Yang smiled. Most alchemists were arrogant because all the martial artists respected them, so he was not surprised. He only said, "I also want to give it a try."
"You, give it a try? Try what? "Gao Sheng frowned.
"Challenge you." Zhou Yang said and jumped into the arena.
"Haha …."
For a moment, everyone laughed. Gao Sheng shook his head, his face full of contempt, "I heard that you are also an alchemist, and I also heard that your alchemist identity was given to you by Master Sima, but it seems … it seems that you have not passed the real alchemist assessment."
"Fake alchemist …"
"So, you went through the back door."
Everyone laughed even louder.
Zhou Yang did not mind. He waited for everyone to stop laughing, then said, "I don't have an alchemy furnace now, and I don't have all the ingredients for the Star Pill. I wonder if any friend can lend me one."
"Pfft …"
Gao Sheng, who had been trying to maintain his poise, suddenly laughed, "What a joke, what a joke. You don't even have an alchemy furnace and you still want to challenge me. I see that you are not an alchemist, and you know nothing about alchemy. Do you think this is a game? Get lost."
"Get lost, get out of here."
"The title of alchemist cannot be tarnished."
"'New chapter r/section D on M'
The alchemists below started to scold him. Zhou Yang felt somewhat embarrassed, thinking that he was too impatient. He should have waited until he had prepared the alchemy furnace and ingredients.
"Let him refine it."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the crowd. Everyone turned to look, only to see a man and a woman.
