Although Lin Xuan had only learned alchemy for a short period of time, he had shocking talent. Not only that, he even had a peerless expert like Wine Lord as his teacher.
Hence, he wasn't afraid of anyone.
With a flick of his finger, Lin Xuan drew the inscriptions again.
"What? He's not using a cauldron?" The crowd below was shocked.
"Hmph, he's just courting death by refining pills with his bare hands!" Song Yunxing sneered.
Even the third hall master frowned. "What's this brat doing? Doesn't he know that this is a competition?"
On the other hand, old man Di Que was very calm. He narrowed his eyes as he sat in his wheelchair, looking very calm.
No one knew how terrifying Lin Xuan was more than him. Hence, he wasn't worried at all.
With his first experience, Lin Xuan was very familiar with the process.
Stalks of herbs were separated and extracted by him. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, extremely pleasing to the eye.
The crowd below was dumbfounded. How was this alchemy? This was an art!
President Meng Chuan looked at Lin Xuan's technique and nodded repeatedly. "It doesn't look like the alchemy technique of the Heavenly Mountain Empire. It's a unique style, incomparably exquisite!"
Time passed bit by bit. During this time, the stone platforms lost their light and became dim.
This also meant that the contestants on the stone platforms had used up all three chances and could only leave regretfully.
Buzz!
The air trembled as the fragrance of a pill spread out, becoming thicker and thicker.
Everyone looked over and saw Duan Fei slapping his cauldron, causing a round blue pill to fly out.
With a wave of his hand, he picked up the pill bottle and quickly placed it into the cauldron.
The audience below burst into applause and cheers that shook the heavens.
Among them, the Medicine Emperor Hall was the happiest.
They were suppressed to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads in the first round. Now, they wanted to vent all their anger in the second round!
Isn't your Pill Emperor Hall powerful?
We have a third-grade alchemist, we can crush you to death in minutes!
After Duan Fei finished, Song Qianqian also successfully collected her pill.
The first two were completed by disciples of the Medicine Emperor Hall. This made the Medicine Emperor Hall extremely happy.
After this, more and more contestants completed their alchemy.
Many of the Pill Emperor Hall's disciples also completed their alchemy.
After all, they were a top force. Although they didn't have a third grade alchemist, they still had quite a few second grade alchemists.
However, Lin Xuan, who had performed amazingly before, was still in the process of refining.
Time was running out. At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Xuan.
Could it be that he was going to retreat after being defeated here?
"Hmph, that's for sure. Do you really think you can concoct pills without using a pill furnace?" The disciple from the Medicine Emperor Courtyard sneered.
"Let's see how he's going to deal with this!"
Duan Fei looked over and sneered, "Trash will always be trash. When you need real ability, you'll become so weak that you can't even withstand a single blow!"
"How are you going to compete with us with this level of skill?" Song Qianqian scoffed.
Even old man Di Que was a little worried. "This kid won't screw it up, right?"
The time had already entered the countdown, but Lin Xuan still hadn't finished.
"F * ck, hurry up, we're running out of time!" A disciple from the Pill Emperor Hall anxiously shouted.
However, Lin Xuan didn't panic at all. His hands were unusually steady.
At the last moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and waved his hands. The liquid in his hands rapidly gathered together, forming a round pill.
At this moment, a dazzling blue light shone in the sky.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Xuan placed the pill into a pill bottle.
"F * ck, that scared me to death!" The disciple from the Pill Emperor Hall was sweating profusely.
Even the palms of the elders below were sweating.
However, Lin Xuan still had a confident smile on his face. He didn't panic at all.
"Your luck is very good, but I'm afraid you won't have such a chance next time!" Duan Fei had an arrogant look on his face.
"Is that so? Luck is also a part of one's strength. Don't you know? "Lin Xuan smiled.
"Hmph, you only know how to talk. Alchemists don't rely on their mouths to make a living!" Song Qianqian snorted.
Lin Xuan shrugged. He wasn't willing to explain himself to these senseless people.
On the spectator stand, Di Que and the others heaved a sigh of relief. "I can't take it anymore. I'm old. I can't take this kind of stimulation anymore."
Song Yunxing snorted. "You can laugh after the quality check is over. I don't think a pill refined with bare hands can be any good! "
Elder Blackheart beside him was very confident. In terms of quality, no one could compare to Duan Fei.
Everyone fell silent. Duan Fei was a third-grade alchemist. He had an absolute advantage.
"Alright, the pill refining segment is over. Now, participants without any light on the stone platform, please step down." President Meng Chuan said loudly.
Immediately, the participating disciples walked down the stone platform dejectedly. Their eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more. Give me a few more breaths of time and I'll definitely be able to complete it!"
"That's right. I only have three chances. Maybe I'll succeed on the fourth try!"
These people left with endless resentment. The square suddenly became much emptier.
Lin Xuan was astonished. He stared at the empty stone platform with shock in his heart.
More than a hundred people were eliminated. This elimination rate was truly terrifying!
"Next, we will test the pills. The quality of the pills will also be recorded in your results."
"Of course, we will also eliminate some useless pills during this process."
"Now, let's begin the pill testing!"
After President Meng Chuan finished speaking, a fist-sized groove appeared in the center of the stone platform.
By placing the pills inside, the quality of the pills would be tested.
Everyone followed his instructions and placed their pills into the groove.
Lin Xuan looked curiously at the groove and placed his pills in as well.
In the next moment, the stone platforms in the square began to emit different colors.
Some of the blue lights were as bright as stars, while others were as bright as fireflies. Different intensities represented different grades.
Of course, there were also some stone platforms that completely dimmed.
This meant that the pills refined were useless and would also be eliminated.
"Impossible. How can the pills I refined be useless? There must be a problem with the test! "Some participants were unconvinced.
"What a scam. Not a single key detail was given. How can it be refined?"
Dozens of participants walked down the stone platform while cursing. One or two lunatics slammed the stone platform with all their might to vent their dissatisfaction.
But even so, it didn't change the fact that they were eliminated.
At this moment, a blue pillar of light lit up, illuminating the surroundings.
"Wah, this blue light is so bright!"
"It's Duan Fei. Do you guys see? He's from our Medicine Emperor Hall!" A disciple from the Medicine Emperor Hall exclaimed in excitement.
"It's actually a high-grade emptiness pill. As expected of a third-grade alchemist." An elder from the Inscription Alliance nodded with a smile.
Buzz!
Another blue light flashed, and the stone platform Song Qianqian was on also glowed.
Although this light was slightly weaker than Duan Fei's, it was still at the level of a high-grade emptiness pill.
Rays of blue light flashed, revealing the grades of the pills refined by the participants.
Other than Duan Fei and Song Qianqian, someone from the Pill Emperor Hall also refined a high-grade pill.
But compared to the Medicine Emperor Hall, it was still lacking.
Not to mention Duan Fei, even Song Qianqian's pill was brighter than the Pill Emperor Hall's.
"Is the Pill Emperor Hall going to lose?"
"There's still hope. Lin Xuan's pill hasn't been tested yet."
