Lin Xuan used his soul power to create a staircase and walked through the air.
This scene shocked many people.
After a moment of silence, the crowd burst into loud cheers that spread out in all directions like waves.
"Hmph, deliberately mystifying things!" Duan Fei's face was cold.
He was very disdainful of Lin Xuan's performance. As long as he was willing, he could do a hundred times better than Lin Xuan!
Song Qianqian's face also turned cold. She wished she could slap Lin Xuan and make him fall to the ground.
Lin Xuan calmly walked to the stone platform as though he was ascending a staircase to heaven.
He slowly sat down and seriously looked at the items on the platform.
There were three sets of herbs and one pill formula written on paper.
This pill formula required the alchemist to grasp the key details. It was much more difficult.
"It's about the same as I expected. Three chances should be enough." Lin Xuan put down the pill formula.
In the distance, Duan Fei sneered. "No matter how much you show off your movement technique, you are still trash on the platform!
"I will let you know what a third-grade alchemist is!"
As a third-grade alchemist, he was very confident. In his opinion, defeating Lin Xuan was very simple, and so was winning.
At that moment, a crisp sound came from the square again. A faint light appeared in front of nearly 500 stone platforms. If one looked carefully, they would realize that it was a round bead.
"In the first round of the assessment, you have three chances. If you can refine a pill within the allotted time, you will be able to enter the next round.
"Now, let's begin!"
As soon as President Meng Chuan finished speaking, all the participants on the stone platforms took action.
At that moment, all the alchemists on the stone platforms took out their cauldrons and began refining pills.
Cauldrons of different colors appeared one after another, stimulating everyone's eyes.
Lin Xuan held the pill formula and thought carefully, simulating the refining process in his mind.
In fact, he had refined pills many times. Every day, he would take time to practice. Furthermore, he had Lord Alcohol's guidance, so his strength far exceeded his peers.
After simulating the process in his mind, Lin Xuan confirmed the key details before starting.
He didn't take out the pill furnace, but drew the inscription pattern with his bare hands.
Inscriptions appeared in the air, mysterious and profound. The herbs on the stone table flew up and started to decompose under the effects of the inscriptions.
This phenomenon was very special among the pill furnaces that filled the sky. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Heavens, look, he's not using a pill furnace!"
"You can refine pills without using a pill furnace? It's amazing! "
In the Heavenly Mountain Empire, most alchemists would use alchemy furnaces to refine pills because the inscriptions within the furnace could increase the success rate.
It was their first time seeing someone like Lin Xuan refining pills with his bare hands.
The exclamations of the crowd below made the other alchemists on the stone platform unable to remain calm.
Many of the contestants near Lin Xuan stole glances at him.
When they saw that Lin Xuan was really refining pills with his bare hands, their eyelids twitched wildly.
There were even a few people who didn't control their emotions well, causing their souls to go out of control. Rumbling sounds could be heard from within the pill furnace.
Bang! Bang!
The pill furnace trembled and emitted black smoke.
It was obvious that the pill refinement had failed.
Duan Fei also saw Lin Xuan's performance from afar. His face was gloomy and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.
In his opinion, Lin Xuan was just trying to please the crowd and steal his limelight.
As a third-grade alchemist, he should have been the focus of attention. However, with Lin Xuan's appearance, he was no longer the focus of attention.
"Damn you, I'll teach you a lesson!" Duan Fei's voice was filled with killing intent.
Song Qianqian was also furious. "You dare to refine pills with your bare hands? Do you really think you're an alchemy grandmaster?"
"When you fail three times, I'll take a good look at your crying face!"
Lin Xuan's performance made the disciples of the Medicine Emperor Court angry. Even Wu Shaoyu's expression turned ugly.
"Pretentious, you're pretentious again!" Wu Shaoyu's face was ferocious. "I don't believe that you won't take out your pill furnace!"
The elders on the spectator stand were also surprised.
Lin Xuan's performance had once again exceeded their expectations. Other than Di Que, everyone else was shocked.
Even President Meng Chuan revealed a pondering expression.
In fact, even Di Que was shocked for a long time when he first saw Lin Xuan refining pills with his bare hands.
"This guy, he doesn't even know how to hide it in public!" Di Que muttered softly.
When Song Yunxing and the others heard this, their bodies trembled.
Then, they glared fiercely at Lin Xuan. Their gazes seemed to want to pierce through him.
Once Lin Xuan started refining, he forgot about everything in the outside world. He immersed himself in the refining process and used his soul force to sense every detail.
"Heart Blue Grass, high temperature extraction …"
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. "Flame?"
While he was in a daze, cracks appeared on the inscription pattern in the air and it shattered like glass.
Ka!
A crisp sound rang out. Although it was soft, it reached everyone's ears.
"It's broken, it's broken! Lin Xuan's inscription has shattered! "
"Haha, I knew it. That kid was pretending! Now he's screwed up! "Wu Shaoyu laughed maniacally.
"Hmph, flashy but useless trash!" Duan Fei said disdainfully.
Song Qianqian also looked at him with disdain.
At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Xuan, especially Song Yunxing and the others. They all revealed expressions of schadenfreude.
In their opinion, Lin Xuan did not have the ability to refine pills with his bare hands. His actions were just to attract everyone's attention.
"There are two more chances, but there's not much time left!" Song Yunxing sneered.
Lin Xuan didn't pay attention to what those people were saying. He looked at the pill formula carefully and pondered.
He had already used the inscription pattern to simulate the flame. With his skills, there was no way he would make a mistake.
However, the inscription still shattered.
"That's right. Flame extraction is only to extract the Heart Blue Grass's liquid. I don't have to use flame inscriptions at all."
Lin Xuan instantly understood.
As an inscription master, he faced the situation of failing every day.
Even the top alchemy masters could not guarantee a 100% success rate. What they could do was to try their best to increase the success rate.
Therefore, the first failure did not affect Lin Xuan at all.
If he could not even accept this, then how could he talk about reaching the peak of alchemy?
Looking around, Lin Xuan discovered that the others were refining with all their might. Among them, Duan Fei and Song Qianqian were the fastest.
Looking at the fluctuations of the aura, it seemed that they were at the final stage.
"As expected of a third-grade alchemy master. His ability is indeed not for show!" Lin Xuan praised.
Duan Fei's technique was very practiced. He easily controlled the pill furnace and continuously inscribed inscriptions.
As a third-grade alchemy master, this was not difficult for him at all.
Song Qianqian's performance was also very relaxed. As Song Yunxing's daughter, she had learned alchemy from Song Yuanxing since young. Looking at her technique, she had the demeanor of a master.
"As expected of the dean's daughter. You have some ability!"
Lin Xuan retracted his gaze and began the second refinement.
