The third round had just begun. Qin Feng hadn't even made a move yet, but he had already become the first participant to enter the Pill Refinery Conference.
After more than two hours, the battles in the other venues had all ended. After the first round of the Martial Training Conference, there were only 1200 cultivators left to participate in the following rounds.
Jiang Feiyan had already stood up to read out the rankings of the Martial Training Conference. When she read out the first place Qiao Feng's name, the cultivators below the stage cried out in surprise. Wu Xin's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent.
"The first round of the Martial Training Conference has ended. Now, there are a total of 1234 cultivators who have advanced. I hereby announce the official start of the second round of the Pill Refinery Conference."
Following Jiang Feiyan's announcement, the surroundings were filled with waves of noise. The Genius Conference held by the Binji City Square was to test the cultivators' all-roundedness. Only cultivators who excelled in all aspects were worthy of the title of the Northern Sand Continent's top ten genius cultivators.
The venue for the Pill Refinery Conference was still in the middle of the plaza. Qin Feng became more and more interested in this Grade 9 array. The array was divided into tens of thousands of smaller arrays. At this moment, there were pill furnaces and some medicinal ingredients used for concocting pills. It was evident that there was a teleportation array hidden in this large array.
The participating cultivators had already found their own venues to concoct pills. Many of them took out their own pill furnaces. They simply didn't care about the normal pill furnaces provided by the Binji City Square.
Qin Feng had a Heaven and Earth Cauldron, but he didn't plan to use it. Previously, Long Qianjun had prepared to give him a Heaven and Earth Cauldron. It was said that the Heaven and Earth Cauldron was one of the Northern Sand Continent's eight great spiritual cauldrons. However, Qin Feng could tell that the Heaven and Earth Cauldron wasn't as good as the Heaven and Earth Cauldron. If he took out the Heaven and Earth Cauldron in front of everyone, it would definitely cause a commotion and bring unnecessary trouble.
"Participating cultivators, there are the same medicinal ingredients and pill furnaces provided in your respective arrays. Everyone can use their own pill furnaces to concoct pills, but you can only use the medicinal ingredients provided by the Binji City Square …"
"Now, I will announce the Pill Refinery Conference's examination questions. Everyone is required to concoct two types of pills specified by the Binji City Square, and then concoct a random pill. The points will be based on the concoction technique, time, medicinal properties, quality and many other factors."
For many of the cultivators present, this was not their first time participating in the Convention of Geniuses. Thus, the moment Jiang Feiyan's words fell, many of the cultivators within the array formation got busy.
Qin Fen wasn't in a hurry to make his move. Actually, he wasn't very clear about the requirements of the Alchemy Conference. However, when he looked at the pill furnace, he understood a lot. This array actually had a void array within it. Some words appeared above the pill furnace. They were the names of the two types of pills designated by the Binji Market.
Gold Elemental Elixir and Spiritual Essence Elixir!
Qin Fen was very familiar with the names of these two elixirs. When he had gone to the Elixir Association to test for the identity of an Alchemy Master, he had refined the Consciousness Elixir. As for the Golden Yuan Pill, it was an Eighth Grade Sixth-Grade Golden Pill that could help a Late-Stage Saint King Realm cultivator break through quickly …
After looking at the pills designated by the Binji Market, Qin Fen suddenly felt a little puzzled. Whether it was the Golden Yuan Pill or the Consciousness Elixir, they were both Golden Pill quality pills. Moreover, this was the venue of the Northern Sand Continent's Genius Convention. How could the standards for Alchemy be so low?
However, he soon understood. After all, the Convention of Geniuses was not the Pill Association of Pill City. It had to be known that the Convention of Geniuses didn't just test Alchemy. Moreover, the age limit for participating cultivators was fifty years old or younger. Alchemists in the Northern Sand Continent were extremely rare, and Pill Kings under the age of fifty could be counted on one's fingers.
"No wonder the predetermined pill is only Golden Pill quality. If it was a King Grade pill, I'm afraid only a few people would be able to refine it."
Qin Fen muttered to himself. He had already roughly understood the situation of the Alchemy Conference. His heart immediately relaxed. This was not the Pill Association of Pill City where Alchemists gathered, and with his current status as a Third Grade Seventh-Grade Pill King, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Bang!
Qin Fen glanced around and found that the other cultivators had already started their alchemy. There were even a few cultivators with excellent Alchemy skills who were about to finish their pills. He didn't waste any more time and immediately shot a few balls of flame into the bottom of the furnace. It had to be known that the time taken to refine pills was also a key factor in the final score.
"Eh? Senior Qiao Feng is actually using an ordinary furnace provided by the Binji Market? "
"His fire seed is also an ordinary inner fire. This doesn't match Senior Qiao Feng's status, right?"
"Sigh! Looks like Qiao Feng is only skilled in the Martial Dao. I'm afraid he's just a beginner in the aspect of Alchemy. "
Because Qin Fen won the previous martial arts conference, he instantly became the focus of the audience. Many cultivators below the stage were paying attention to him. When they saw the process of his alchemy, they sighed.
Because of the soundproof array, Qin Fen couldn't hear their voices. But even if he heard it, Qin Fen wouldn't care in the slightest.
The ingredients for the Gold Essence Pill had already been thrown into the cauldron. As a Tier 3 Tier 7 Pill King, refining the Gold Essence Pill was a piece of cake for Qin Feng. He looked at the other cauldron beside him and sent out several balls of flames to activate that cauldron.
"Eh? What is Senior Qiao Feng doing? Why is there another furnace? "This action caused the crowd to be dumbfounded.
"I know, Qiao Feng must have failed in that furnace of alchemy and is planning to refine another type of alchemy."
"That should be the case … Looks like Senior Qiao Feng really doesn't know how to refine pills."
"Ah! Everyone quickly look, Senior Qiao Feng is refining two furnaces of alchemy at the same time. "
The voices that originally didn't look favorably on Qin Fen suddenly exclaimed in the crowd.
Everyone immediately looked over, and their eyeballs and jaws dropped to the ground. At this moment, Qin Fen was sitting cross-legged with a furnace on each of his left and right hands. He was controlling one furnace with each hand and was actually refining two different furnaces of alchemy at the same time.
Rumble!
The flames were exuberant, and the burning air let out a whistling sound.
Qin Fen was refining two furnaces of alchemy at the same time, but his movements were as smooth as flowing water. He was even more skilled than many cultivators refining a furnace of alchemy.
He had been using his inner fire to refine pills. After all, the Purple Serene Flame and the Spirit Sunflower were too precious. If he displayed them in public, it would definitely cause a commotion. Moreover, the Purple Serene Flame and the Spirit Sunflower were rumored to be with Qin Fen, so his identity would definitely be exposed.
Fortunately, the Gold Essence Pill and the Consciousness Accumulation Pill were of the Golden Elixir quality. Even if he used his inner fire to refine them, Qin Fen was confident that he could refine a special grade elixir.
There were 1,234 cultivators participating in the Alchemy Assembly in the Array Formation Square, but only Qin Fen was refining two furnaces of alchemy at the same time. His actions were noticed by even more people, and even some of the contestants were shocked.
"Senior Brother Hao Fei, is that guy called Qiao Feng crazy? He's refining two furnaces of alchemy at the same time?"
A disciple of the five-star sect, Sword Sect, sent a voice transmission to his Senior Brother who was also participating in the competition. The Senior Brother called Hao Fei glanced at Qin Fen and revealed a playful smile.
"Ignore him. Ugly people tend to cause trouble. I think he's only good at martial arts, but he knows nothing about alchemy. Let's compete peacefully. This year, we must fight for a place in the top ten geniuses of the Sword Sect."
When Hao Fei calmed his emotions and re-entered the state of refining alchemy, another beautiful girl looked at Qin Fen.
The girl was dressed in a white dress, and her face was covered by a veil. Even though only her eyes were exposed, they were still extremely charming. The girl was Yu Yinxue of the number one family in the Northern Sand Region, the Yuyin Family. She and Wujin of the Invincible Sect were listed as strong candidates for the first place in this year's Genius Assembly. Unexpectedly, Wujin was eliminated in the first round of the Martial Arts Assembly. Now, this girl's reputation as the first place had increased.
"Hmph! So he's just a boorish fellow who only knows how to fight. What a waste of my time. "
A cold smile flashed in Yu Yinxue's eyes. Clearly, she did not think much of Qin Fen.
Rumble!
Explosions could be heard from the array plaza, indicating that many cultivators had completed their pills. Although the cultivators below the stage could not hear the huge commotion caused by the formation of the pills, they could see the scene of the fog rising into the sky.
However, these cultivators had only managed to refine one type of pill. The requirement for the competition was to refine three types of pills. Therefore, after the cultivators had completed their pills, they did not stop for a moment and immediately began the process of refining the new pill.
"Yu Yinxue is indeed a genius. She is the first to complete her pill. If nothing goes wrong, she will definitely win this round."
"Hao Fei of the five-star sect, Sword Sect, is also performing very well. I believe it won't be a problem for him to enter the top ten geniuses of the Northern Sand Region."
"Sigh! It's such a pity for the Invincible Sect. Senior Wujin was eliminated in the first round, and the remaining disciples of their sect have only average performances. It's hard to say if any of them can enter the top ten. "
"Senior Qiao Feng has yet to make a move. Just based on the time, he has already fallen behind more than half of the cultivators."
The discussions were like a tidal wave. The cultivators below the stage were even more excited than the cultivators participating in the competition.
However, the focus of the discussions had shifted from Qin Fen to Yu Yinxue. At this moment, several strange cries came from the crowd.
"It's done. Senior Qiao Feng has completed his pill!"
"Tsk, it's done. He has already fallen behind the other cultivators by a few joss sticks' worth of time. It's not surprising that he has completed his pill."
"That's not it! Senior Qiao Feng has completed two furnaces of pills in one go. He has already completed the two types of pills designated by the Binji City Square. "
...
The crowd was stunned for a moment. When they regained their senses, they revealed expressions of disbelief.
Tens of thousands of gazes shot towards the small array where Qin Fen was. At this moment, he was pulling the pills. With a grab of his hands, the two furnaces of pills that had rushed into the sky from the pill furnace immediately shot towards Qin Fen. Finally, they were stored into two jade bottles.
"Damn! Senior Qiao Feng really refined two furnaces of pills at the same time? "
"Looking at the dense spiritual Qi rising up, the quality of those two furnaces of pills must be at least high-grade."
"So everyone has misjudged Senior Qiao Feng. How is he a newbie? He is definitely at the level of an Alchemy Master. Even the Northern Sand Region's Alchemy King might not be able to do this, right?"
"I wonder if Alchemy King Qin, who made the Spirit Surge Pill, can do it?"
The heated discussion returned to Qin Fen. His performance in this Alchemy Conference was too shocking. Even the four judges were shocked.
"That kid succeeded? How is that possible? "Wu Xin's eyeballs were about to fall to the ground as he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
The other two judges were shocked. Even if they didn't know how to refine pills, they could tell that Qin Fen had most likely reached the level of an Alchemy King. They had never heard of such a young Alchemy King before.
"The Northern Sand Region has been surging like a storm recently. Many young geniuses have appeared, and they are all concealing their identities. This is really unimaginable." Jiang Feiyan's eagle-like eyes stared at Qin Fen as she muttered to herself.
