With the jade slip pill formulas, refining medicinal pills became much simpler.
Many participants couldn't wait to start refining pills. They wanted to obtain a good ranking.
However, there were some who remained skeptical.
They didn't believe that the second round would be so simple, so they read the jade slip pill formula over and over again.
However, no matter how they looked at it, there was no problem.
It doesn't seem fake. Song Qianqian rested her chin on her hand as she pondered seriously.
"Humph, no matter what the problem is, it won't stump me!" Duan Fei was full of confidence.
In the end, they all chose to start refining pills.
Wind Moon Square fell silent once again. Everyone waited patiently and whispered about who would win.
In the stands, Meng Chuan and company focused their attention on the red-robed girl named He Nian. They constantly analyzed her every move.
"Looking at her cauldron control and habit of taking out herbs, it's hard to believe that she's a fifteen-year-old youth."
"Her proficiency level is at least a few decades!"
"There must be something wrong with her!"
These people were all alchemy masters. When they observed a person together, they quickly discovered something amiss.
However, this alone wasn't enough to expose her.
Meng Chuan sighed. "Although I don't know what her motive is, I don't wish for the second round's victor to be an unknown person."
"Don't worry, Guild Leader Meng. Lin Xuan won't lose," said Di Que with a smile.
"Humph! Duan Fei is a third-grade alchemist. It's even more impossible for him to lose! "Song Yunxing snorted coldly.
Just as these people were conversing, there was a new change in the square.
Bam!
In the quiet square, a low and deep sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked up in puzzlement and saw black smoke coming out of a participant's cauldron on the stone platform.
"What's going on? What happened? "
"It looks like a cauldron explosion."
"A cauldron explosion?" Everyone had strange expressions. However, when they discovered the identity of the disciple, their expressions became even stranger.
"That seems to be a disciple of the Medicine Sovereign Court. Why did his cauldron explode again?"
Everyone noticed this, and quite a few people laughed softly.
The faces of the people from the Medicine Sovereign Court immediately darkened. Their cauldron explosion had yet to calm down, and now, their cauldrons had exploded again in front of everyone.
"Trash, you're really trash!" Song Yunxing was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He growled in a low voice, "Who can tell me what's going on!"
The surrounding elders of the Medicine Sovereign Hall all had extremely heavy expressions on their faces. They were all silent, not knowing how to reply.
"Hehe, I think the standard of your Medicine Emperor Courtyard is really too low. You might as well close your doors!" Third Hall Master Wu Xiong mocked mercilessly.
The faces of those from the Medicine Emperor Courtyard turned red, and they felt like dying.
On the stone platform, the disciple whose furnace exploded was also stunned. His eyes were empty as he repeated the words repeatedly.
"That's impossible. I'm following the pill formula. There's no way I'm wrong!"
"How could this be …"
"Hahahaha! Sure enough, another cauldron explosion! "Wu Shaoyu gloated," Your Medicine Emperor Courtyard really specializes in cauldron explosions. "
As soon as he finished speaking, another bang was heard, and the sound of a furnace exploding came from the stone platform.
Wu Shaoyu's face was charred black. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became uglier and uglier.
"F * ck, what's going on? It's impossible for me to make a mistake! "
"Damn you, it's all your fault! You passed on your bad habit of cauldron explosions to me. Get the hell away from me! "Wu Shaoyu roared madly.
The crowd below was also stunned. There was actually someone whose furnace exploded.
And the two of them were standing right next to each other. Could it be that cauldron explosions were really contagious?
"Hmph, seems like the disciples of the Pill Emperor Hall aren't much." Song Yunxing's expression softened. "The one whose furnace exploded seems to be Brother Wu's son, right?"
"I really don't know how Brother Wu teaches his juniors."
Song Yunxing finally found a chance to retaliate. The other elders of the Medicine Emperor Courtyard also mocked and ridiculed.
"You …" The third hall master was so angry that he was trembling. He clenched his fists so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.
"This is too embarrassing!"
"Little brat, see how I'll deal with you when we return!" The third hall master gritted his teeth.
Just as the crowd was discussing and mocking, the stone platform changed again.
Bang bang bang!
Continuous sounds rang out, and like firecrackers, they exploded in the air.
Almost half of the participants had their furnaces exploding.
"This …" Everyone was stunned.
"There's a problem!" Di Que furrowed his brows.
If one or two people had their furnaces exploding, it would definitely be because they weren't skilled enough. But if over a hundred people made the same mistake at the same time, it would be strange.
"Seems like the second round isn't as simple as we thought." Not far away, Elder Blackheart's eyes flashed.
With so many people exploding their furnaces at the same time, it created a loud sound that directly disturbed the other participants.
As more and more people failed, even the air was filled with impatience and uneasiness.
Bang!
Song Qianqian's furnace trembled, and black smoke rose from it.
"Failed?" She bit her lips, and her face was filled with doubt.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath. He was still holding a stalk of medicinal herb in his hand. He was supposed to put it in at this moment.
However, he stopped in his tracks.
He knew Song Qianqian's strength. She could be considered one of the top five existences here.
However, even she had failed. This matter was too strange.
"Could it be that there's a problem with the pill formula?" He immediately thought of the pill formula.
Because, not long ago, he had also created a fake pill formula that caused the Medicine Emperor Courtyard to explode.
However, there were many kinds of fake pill formulas that could cause cauldrons to explode. Lin Xuan didn't know which one it was.
"As expected of the Pill King Competition, it can actually deceive everyone!" Lin Xuan sighed softly in his heart.
He could only investigate bit by bit, and ensure that he found the problem during the refinement process.
Not long after, Shi Taishang's voice sounded again.
Duan Fei sat with a gloomy expression. In front of him was a useless pill.
"Damn it, where did it go wrong!" He scratched his head hard and read the pill formula again.
The crowd below exclaimed, "Duan Fei is one of the three alchemists. Even he has failed. Looks like the second round is much more difficult than we thought."
"There are still five people left. I wonder if they can succeed in one try?" The crowd began to look forward to it.
Among the five people who were still refining, there was Lin Xuan and the red-robed girl, He Nian.
The remaining three were alchemists from other factions. Because they had refined late, they probably hadn't made any mistakes yet.
Even so, their foreheads were already covered in sweat.
Time passed, and someone began to refine again.
However, not long after, a low sound came from the sky again.
Looking at the shattered pill, the Medicine Emperor Courtyard participant wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Damn it, what kind of lousy pill formula is this! I clearly refined it according to the formula! "That disciple's face was filled with indignation as he cursed wildly.
There were only two chances in the second round, so that disciple was eliminated.
Seeing his lonely figure walk down the stone stage, the remaining participants felt a chill in their hearts.
If they couldn't find the problem within the time limit, they would be disqualified like that person.
