Why did Elder Yu value Linlong so much? Could it be because of Linlong's master? Luo Hong thought to himself in astonishment.
He couldn't see the difference between Linlong and naturally thought that it was because of Linlong's master that Yu Chenghe valued him so much.
Seems like my choice was right. I have to stand on Little Brother Lin's side in the future. Luo Hong finally made this decision.
After Yu Chenghe's brainless performance, Dong Jianwu then announced the start of this round of competition.
During this period of time, the 32 contestants on the stage had already thought of how to refine this third-grade Fire Blue Pill. Hence, once Dong Jianwu announced the start of the competition, they quickly started to mix the elixir.
During this process, Yu Chenghe basically placed all his attention on Linlong, nodding his head as he looked at him.
Not bad. Not too fast or too slow. His fundamentals were solid. Every step was connected perfectly. Basically, he was at the pinnacle of an alchemist of his age. Yu Chenghe evaluated in his heart.
In his opinion, Linlong's current performance was completely on par with Gu Qi.
Although Gu Qi wasn't his disciple, he naturally understood Gu Qi's strength.
If the people present knew that Yu Chenghe had such an evaluation in his heart, they would definitely be shocked. As a veteran of the Alchemist Alliance, Yu Chenghe's knowledge in alchemy was definitely in the top three among all the alchemists in Tian Xing City.
The 32 people on the stage had basically refined the Fire Blue Pill many times. Hence, in the initial mix of ingredients, only one person made a slight mistake.
After configuring the materials, they entered the refining process one after another.
As it was a competition of speed, those who had spirit fire all took out their own spirit fire. Even Gu Qi, who was regarded as the number one among the youth generation, did the same.
Apart from increasing the success rate, the spirit fire could also increase the speed of refinement.
This naturally made it hard for those who didn't have spirit fire, but it couldn't be helped. Who asked them to not have spirit fire?
In an instant, all kinds of flames appeared on the stage.
After sighing, the crowd naturally started to comment on the spirit fire on the stage.
"Ruyi Sect's Huang Yuan, what kind of spirit fire is this? Once it's out, it's radiant. The spirit fire's flame seems to have turned into a spirit and completely enveloped the small cauldron."
"You don't understand. Huang Yuan's flame is the Spiritual Heart Flame. It is ranked 45th on the List of Spiritual Flames."
"It's actually the 45th ranked Spiritual Heart Flame. No wonder."
"Lin Shiyin's Spiritual Fire looks pretty good as well. The flame is actually a faint pink colour. What a strange flame. I wonder what kind of flame it is."
"This is the Pink Blue Glass Fire, ranked 75th on the Spiritual Fire List."
"Ah, why is there such a big difference?"
"It's just that he's far from Huang Yuan. He's countless of times stronger than us!"
"What about Gu Qi's Spirit Fire? The black flames look erratic, as if they could be extinguished at any moment. But look at that little cauldron, it's actually turned a dark red colour."
"Gu Qi's Spirit Fire has quite the background. It's the Black Ground Illusory Flame, ranked 38th on the Spirit Fire List."
"What? It's actually the Spiritual Fire that's ranked 38th. It's really unbelievable. "
"Is it strange to be ranked 38th? You should know that these people are the experts of the younger generation of the entire Central Region. It would be strange if they didn't possess such powerful Spiritual Fires."
…
Most of the people's gazes were focused on the people who possessed these strange Spiritual Fires. Only a small portion of people's gazes were focused on the others.
Liu Jingtong's gaze was basically fixed on Lin Long. Seeing that Lin Long did not take out his Spiritual Fire, but used the most ordinary flame ignited by the alum, Liu Jingtong naturally began to despise him in his heart.
'Trash. He doesn't even have a flame. What a disgrace.' Liu Jingtong despised him in his heart.
'No Spiritual Fire?' Seeing that Lin Long did not take out his Spiritual Fire, Yu Chenghe could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Because this competition was a competition of speed. Without a Spiritual Fire, it would be difficult for him to enter the final 15.
'Looks like I'll have to think of a way to get him a Spiritual Fire after the competition, even if it's a very ordinary one.' Kong Zhi thought to himself after taking a look at Lin Long.
Because he had never seen Lin Long use his Spiritual Fire, he thought that Lin Long did not have one.
There were so many people present, but other than Lin Shiyin, no one else knew that Lin Long had a Spiritual Fire.
"Puchi …"
At this moment, Huang Yuan's small cauldron suddenly emitted a burnt smell. It seemed like he failed to control the fire properly during the refining process.
After his expression changed slightly, Huang Yuan regained his composure. He poured out the waste in the small cauldron and started refining the third-grade Fire Blue Pill again.
This scene was not surprising to the crowd. Even a powerful Spiritual Fire could have an accident. Even the Alchemist Alliance's mentor on the stage could have such a situation happen.
After Huang Yuan, many people with Spiritual Fires failed. However, compared to those without Spiritual Fires, their failure rate was undoubtedly much lower.
Not long after, Gu Qi was still the first person to refine the third-grade Fire Blue Pill.
After placing the third-grade Fire Blue Pill on the jade plate, Gu Qi proudly showed it to the crowd.
"As expected of the Alchemist Alliance's number one among the younger generation."
"He's really a genius."
"Successfully refining with only one set of materials twice. I'm afraid that even Yu Chenghe and the mentor would not be able to do this."
The crowd sighed again. The master alchemists on the stage also looked at him with praises.
They knew that with Gu Qi's strength, he would probably surpass them in the future.
After Gu Qi was Alchemist Alliance's Zhang Wei Ran. Zhang Wei Ran also only used one set of materials.
After him was Xian Tian Sect's Zhao Mingyi. Zhao Mingyi also only used one set of materials.
Next was Lin Shiyin. Lin Shiyin also only used one set of materials.
After that was Huang Yuan, who had failed once in the refinement process.
…
Very quickly, there were ten people who successfully refined the Fire Blue Pill.
Looking at the situation, there were probably many people who successfully refined the Fire Blue Pill. This was obviously the most tense moment. Even if you successfully refined the Fire Blue Pill, there was a possibility that you would be eliminated if you were a little later than others.
Although the refining process of the Fire Blue Pill was complicated and difficult, it was a pill that most people usually refined. Hence, the success rate was obviously higher.
There were already ten people who successfully refined the Fire Blue Pill. There were twenty-two people left, which meant that only five of them could enter the next round.
The competition was fierce.
In such a situation, not only were the people who were competing nervous, but the audience was also nervous.
At this moment, the crowd naturally favored those who had spirit fire. As for those who didn't, they basically had no hope.
"Young Master Lin, why didn't you use your own spirit fire? If you used your own spirit fire, you would have already refined the Fire Blue Pill. You wouldn't be so nervous." After refining her Fire Blue Pill, Lin Shiyin's beautiful eyes were focused on Lin Long, and she did not look away.
At this moment, she was even more nervous than others because she was blocked by Lin Long's back. She couldn't see which step Lin Long was at.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two consecutive muffled sounds rang out. Another two people successfully refined the Fire Blue Pill. However, Lin Long wasn't one of them.
At this moment, Lin Shiyin was even more nervous. There were only three places left. If Lin Long didn't refine it, he might be eliminated.
Even Yu Chenghe, who had always believed that Lin Long could enter the next round, was a little disappointed.
Could it be that he was wrong? This young man didn't have that kind of strength? Yu Chenghe couldn't help but think of this.
He felt that Lin Long's strength wasn't very strong. It was already very good that he could enter the next round. Therefore, Kong Zhi's face was calm and he didn't feel any disappointment.
"Hahaha, idiot. You're finally eliminated. Let's see if you still want to embarrass yourself." Liu Jingtong, who was below the stage, smiled. At this moment, he even regretted not participating in the competition with his injuries. If he did, he would have been able to slap Lin Long in the face. He was confident that he could refine the Fire Blue Pill in this time.
After all, he had the Shattering Flame.
However, at this moment, there was a "bang". Lin Long's small cauldron actually made such a sound before the others.
Immediately after, he opened the cauldron and tossed the pill into Lin Long's hands.
Dong Jianwu and a few other alchemists who were responsible for the determination hurried over.
How could this kid refine the Fire Blue Pill? Liu Jingtong, who was below the stage, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
The Fire Blue Pill refined by this kid was definitely a failure. At this moment, he could only curse Lin Long in his heart.
Lin Shiyin, Kong Zhi, and the others immediately revealed a trace of joy on their faces. Yu Chenghe also inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief. However, if Lin Long wanted to enter the next round, he still had to wait for the appraisal results. Therefore, their hearts were still hanging in suspense.
After seeing Lin Long's pill, Dong Jianwu and the others couldn't help but reveal astonished expressions.
"Elder Dong, what's going on?" Yu Chenghe, who had been concerned about Lin Long, once again broke the silence when he saw Dong Jianwu and the others in a daze.
Luo Hong couldn't help but look at him and say, "Elder Yu, this is the competition venue. Please don't be so abrupt in the future and affect others."
Yu Chenghe could only laugh awkwardly.
"It's nothing. Lin Long's third-grade Fire Blue Pill has no flaws. In other words, Lin Long has entered the next round," Dong Jianwu said.
The reason why he and the other alchemists were surprised was that Linlong's elixir was too pure, even purer than the average third-grade Fiery Blue Elixir. It was many times better than the Fiery Blue Elixir that Gu Qi and the others had refined in a hurry.
They couldn't help but be surprised that Lin Long could actually refine such a pure Fire Blue Pill in such a short period of time without a spiritual fire.
Hearing this, Yu Chenghe, Kong Zhi, Lin Shiyin, and the others were completely relieved.
Seeing that Lin Long could actually successfully refine the Fire Blue Pill without a spiritual fire and was ranked 13th, the crowd immediately let out a sigh.
One had to know that the first 12 people all possessed spiritual fires. Linlong was a completely different case.
If Lin Long had a spiritual fire, then the ranking in this round of competition might be rewritten.
How was that possible? How could this guy refine the Fire Blue Pill? Liu Jingtong's face immediately revealed an extremely disappointed expression.
