"Hua Tuo, how do you feel?" Qin Feng communicated with Hua Tuo through telepathy.
"Master, my inner qi has been suppressed by the earth's magnetic field, and it has fallen to Stage 8 inner qi. Moreover, I discovered that the spiritual energy on earth is much lesser than it was in my era. Therefore, my alchemy skills are greatly limited," Hua Tuo said.
Qin Feng furrowed his brows and asked worriedly, "What grade of pills can you refine in this environment?"
"I can refine a grade-6 golden pill, but it will be difficult for me to refine a grade-7 golden pill … Don't worry, Master, I'll do my best!"
Hua Tuo was a grade-8 alchemist, and his inner qi had reached the Great Perfection Stage. Qin Feng was speechless that his inner qi was suppressed to such an extent on earth.
After understanding Hua Tuo's situation, Qin Feng looked at the judges and said, "Dear judges, the Saint Medic chased away an old dog yesterday, and today, we have a new alchemist!"
The people who were discussing Uncle Gu's betrayal turned to look at Saint Medic. When they saw the white-haired Hua Tuo, the room was filled with sighs and doubts.
"Who's that old man? Why haven't I seen him before? "
"He must have found a random person to replace him. After all, high-tier alchemists are rare. Even the Saint Medic can't find a new grade-6 golden pill refiner in half a day!"
"Sigh! The Saint Medic is also miserable. They were supposed to be the champion, but they were tricked by Uncle Gu! "
… …
Ren Xiao Yao's temper flared up again when she heard the people talking bad about the Saint Medic. She raised her Waning Moon Sword and was about to fight with those people. Qin Feng had no choice but to pull her into his arms and hug her to prevent her from doing anything stupid.
Before the King Pill Competition officially began, there were already explosive news that spread throughout the competition. The participating teams were unable to calm down and were in no mood to refine pills anymore.
Due to Poison Sect's withdrawal from the competition and Sacred Medicinal Hall's Uncle Gu's departure, the most favored teams in this competition had become the Yang Enterprise and the Herbal Sect. The title of the Number One Medicinal Clinic and the Elixir King would probably appear from these two teams.
Xiao Jian looked at his watch and stood up, "Everyone, please be quiet. Today's alchemy king competition is over. I hereby announce that the competition begins!"
As Xiao Jian's voice fell, the 20 participating teams were already busy!
For this competition, each team would send out two alchemists to participate. The rules of the competition were simple and crude, which was to display everyone's superb alchemy skills and refine the most powerful elixirs.
After the competition ended, the highest quality elixir would be chosen to become the Elixir King. The corresponding participating team would also be awarded the title of the Number One Medicinal Workshop.
Rumble!
The sound of flames rang out from all directions. The main alchemists of more than a dozen teams had already ignited their pill furnaces!
The Alchemy King Competition also allowed participants to use their own flames. Those teams that couldn't catalyze their Demonic Qi flames and could only use their natural flames were clearly losing at the starting line.
Rumble!
The Yang Merchant Group was overseen by Uncle Gu and Uncle Yao. The two of them had already released their demonic Qi flames, and the alchemy cauldrons in front of them burned with raging flames. They looked a bit cooler than the other teams.
Uncle Huo from the Medicine Sect had also summoned his demonic flames and started to add the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace.
Apart from the 20 participating teams, there were 13 eliminated teams watching the competition. Most of these people were staring at the Yang Merchant Group and the Medicine Sect. They were the two most powerful teams in the competition.
At this moment, there were two alchemy cauldrons beside Hua Tuo. The extra one was requested by Zhang Yue. Since Hua Tuo had long been neglected by everyone, no one paid attention to his action.
Puzzled, Qin Feng asked Hua Tuo with his mind, "Hua Tuo, why do you need two alchemy cauldrons?"
Qin Feng was a little nervous. Could it be that Hua Tuo was worried that he would fail halfway through the competition, so he prepared a spare alchemy cauldron?
Hua Tuo looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression, "Master, shouldn't we all need two alchemy cauldrons?"
"No, we all use the same alchemy cauldron!" Qin Feng was even more puzzled now.
Hua Tuo looked at the others and realized that everyone really did use the same alchemy cauldron. Hua Tuo's expression was even more puzzled than Qin Feng's. "Master, I always use two alchemy cauldrons to concoct two different pills at the same time. Could it be that my level can't keep up with the current era? Do you all use the same alchemy cauldron to concoct two different pills? That's an amazing move! "
After listening to Hua Tuo's explanation, Qin Feng's mouth twitched violently. He had no idea how to answer Hua Tuo's question.
Qin Feng was now sure that the heroes produced by the system's Palace of Heroes were all pretentious. Hua Tuo's pretentious act had caught Qin Feng off guard!
"Ahem! That's all. Go ahead and concoct the pills, "Qin Feng said after a long while.
Hua Tuo was still puzzled. He shook his head and continued to fiddle with the two alchemy cauldrons in front of him.
Ren Xiao Yao stood nervously behind Qin Feng. She was very curious about Hua Tuo's identity, but Qin Feng refused to tell her even after asking Qin Feng a few times. Ren Xiao Yao was scared to death when she saw Hua Tuo concocting pills in front of two alchemy cauldrons at the same time.
"Qiao Feng, is the old man you found reliable? What's he doing? How can he concoct two alchemy cauldrons at the same time? "
"Ahem! Don't worry. He's better than me, "Qin Feng comforted Ren Xiao Yao.
However, Ren Xiao Yao was still very worried. "Why don't you concoct the Violent Demon Pill? If you can concoct the high-grade Violent Demon Pill, you still stand a chance of winning the King of Pill-Making Competition! "
In every competition of the Pill-Making Conference, every team had to prepare their own medicinal ingredients.
In this King of Pill-Making Competition, every team had to prepare their own medicinal ingredients. Therefore, even if they had a heaven-defying alchemist, they had no medicinal ingredients to concoct rare medicinal pills.
However, the Saint Medic Hall had no shortage of medicinal ingredients. Ren Xiao Yao took out five different medicinal ingredients for concocting Grade 6 Golden Pills. Qin Feng chose the Diamond Pill, which was relatively easy to concoct. After all, it was Qin Feng's first time concocting a Grade 6 Golden Pill, so it was still uncertain if he could succeed.
Hua Tuo, on the other hand, was more low-key. He quietly chose the Violent Demon Pill and the Rising Spirit Pill, which were the hardest to concoct among Grade 6 Golden Pills.
The main ingredient for the Violent Demon Pill was the Purple Wisteria Flower. Qin Feng and Hua Yan found it when they were exploring the Ancient Martial Ruins in Ghost Mountain. Qin Feng selflessly offered it to them for this competition. As for the Rising Spirit Pill, it was the upgraded version of the Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Pill.
Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Ren Xiao Yao. If even Hua Tuo couldn't concoct the Violent Demon Pill, then he had no chance at all. How dare this girl look down on Hua Tuo?
"Don't talk to me. You're affecting my concoction!" Qin Feng was too lazy to explain. He glared at Ren Xiao Yao impatiently.
After being reprimanded by Qin Feng, Ren Xiao Yao immediately pouted her lips and stopped talking. Ren Xiao Yao stood behind Qin Feng anxiously. Hua Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Ren Xiao Yao's amusing expression.
The competition was in full swing!
The temperature in the room was even higher than it had been two days ago. The whole room was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance. The spiritual energy in the room was getting thicker and thicker, almost ten times that of the outside. Those who had already been eliminated to watch the competition couldn't help but start absorbing the spiritual energy to cultivate.
Hua Yan's gaze was fixed on Qin Feng. She didn't even spare a glance at the others.
Qin Feng's Fire of Destruction was ignited. He even spent 20000 Hedonist Points to purchase the formula for the Grade 6 Diamond Pill. Hua Yan was shocked when she saw Qin Feng's proficient skill in concocting pills.
Hua Yan was puzzled. Qin Feng's skill in concocting pills is so much better than mine. Why did he ask me to concoct the Grade 2 Blood Qi Pill for him?
That's right, this must be one of his tricks to woo girls. That must be it!
… …
Halfway through the competition, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
Everyone's gaze fell on the white-haired old man from Bao Zhi Hall. The old man's left hand was burning with a fiery red flame, and his right hand was burning with a cold green flame.
"What's that? It's my first time seeing it! "
"Yang Fire in his left hand and Yin Fire in his right. This old man is a fire elemental cultivator!"
"Amazing! That's amazing! He's a real expert in concocting pills with Yin and Yang Fire. He's even better than the people from the Yang Enterprise and the Herbal Sect! "
… …
"Hua Tuo, what the hell is a fire elemental cultivator?" Qin Feng glanced at Bao Zhi Hall when he heard the discussion. He was stunned when he saw the white-haired old man's hands were burning with different types of flames.
"Hehe! That's not surprising. He's not as good as you, Master. " Hua Tuo said calmly, "A fire elemental cultivator has two types of flames. If Master likes it, you can devour another Yin Fire when you're free."
A fire elemental cultivator had two different types of flames. A dual-elemental demonic cultivator had two different elements. In comparison, dual-elemental demonic cultivators were the truly powerful ones.
Qin Feng lost interest in the old man from Bao Zhi Hall after he understood what Hua Tuo meant.
"Master, the apothecary from Bao Zhi Hall is concocting the Yin Yang Golden Pill. It's a Grade 7 Golden Pill!" Hua Tuo added.
Qin Feng was shocked. "Grade 7 Golden Pill? Doesn't that mean we're going to lose? "
Both Qin Feng and Hua Tuo were concocting Grade 6 Golden Pills. Qin Feng did not expect that a Grade 7 Golden Pill Refiner would appear in this year's Medicinal Pill Conference. Moreover, he appeared in an inconspicuous little pharmacy.
"That's not necessarily true. Don't worry, Master. That old man's alchemy technique is still a little rusty. It's obvious that he's barely concocting a Grade 7 Golden Pill. I'm confident that I can defeat him."
Qin Feng had no idea how Hua Tuo could defeat a Grade 7 Golden Pill with a Grade 6 Golden Pill. But since Hua Tuo had said so, Qin Feng believed him. After all, he was a real miracle doctor!
Ren Xiao Yao became even more anxious when she saw the chief apothecary of Bao Zhi Hall unleashing the Yin Yang Fire. However, she dared not speak to Qin Feng as she was afraid that she would affect his alchemy.
Obviously, Hua Yan understood the meaning of Dual Cultivation of Fire and Element. She glanced at the Baozhi Hall briefly before shifting her gaze back to Qin Feng. After a while, Hua Yan's expression changed dramatically, and she shifted her gaze to Hua Tuo's two pill furnaces.
Since the beginning of the competition, Hua Tuo had maintained his composure. One of his pill furnaces was engulfed in devil qi while the other one had no fire at all. It was as if it was just a decoration.
However, when Hua Yan took a closer look, she discovered that there was something under the pill furnace. It was a layer of ice that was hard to detect. The ice covered the bottom of the pill furnace, and the cold air emitted from the pill furnace.
Hua Tuo had refined two pill furnaces at the same time. One was covered in ice while the other was covered in flames.
Hua Yan finally realized how powerful Hua Tuo was. He was the most powerful person among all the apothecaries in the competition. However, Hua Tuo kept a low profile and was overlooked by the others.
Qin Feng and Hua Yan were dual elemental cultivators as well. However, they were not as flashy as Hua Tuo. Both of them could only use fire and ice to concoct pills at the same time. Hua Tuo, on the other hand, could concoct pills separately without being distracted. How powerful must his six senses be to be able to do that?
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud noise reverberated in the air. It was the sound of a pill being formed.
Everyone looked at Qin Feng in shock. Did Qin Feng's pill furnace already form? His alchemy speed is still as fast as before!
