"The elixir used in this round is the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill!" Dong Jianwu's voice rang out across the entire plaza.
Upon hearing Dong Jianwu's words, many people below the stage nodded their heads. The Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill was completely within their expectations.
Although the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill was a grade 3 elixir, the difficulty of refining it was comparable to a grade 4 elixir. Therefore, it was not unexpected for it to be used in this round of competition.
"Since it's the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill, Gu Qi's advantage is undoubtedly much greater than the other three. After all, he is a grade 4 alchemist."
"That's right, let's see if Lin Long can create another miracle."
The people below the stage began to discuss spiritedly. In their opinion, as a grade 4 alchemist, Gu Qi had the highest chance of winning this round. Lin Shiyin and Li Cheng did not have much of a chance. As for Lin Long, they could not fathom him at all.
To them, it would not be surprising if Lin Long, who had already created the previous miracles, could create another one.
Very quickly, the ingredients to refine the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill were brought up and placed on the tables of the four participants.
As Dong Jianwu announced the start of the competition, the few of them also began to mix the ingredients.
This Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill was worthy of being called a medicinal pill with a difficulty comparable to a fourth grade medicinal pill. During the concoction process, even Lin Shiyin, who hadn't made any mistakes while concocting the ingredients, also made a mistake. Fortunately, she quickly realized and corrected it, preventing the mistake from expanding.
Other than Lin Shiyin, Gu Qi and Li Cheng also made mistakes. However, like Lin Shiyin, the two of them quickly realized and corrected it.
"As expected of the participants who advanced to this round. Their strength is extraordinary." Upon seeing this scene, the crowd could not help but exclaim in admiration.
During the refining process, the only one who did not make any mistakes was Lin Long. This caused the crowd to look up to him even more.
After an entire incense stick of time, Lin Long was finally done mixing the ingredients. The time he took was clearly much longer than before. After mixing the ingredients, Lin Long immediately threw himself into the refining process.
If Lin Long took such a long time, there was no need to mention the others. Even Gu Qi, who was the fastest, took almost half an incense stick of time longer than Lin Long.
As for Li Cheng, he made an unforgivable mistake when he was mixing the materials. The materials were directly scrapped, so he had no choice but to use a second set of materials.
Li Cheng's behavior naturally made Liu Kangning extremely worried.
Most people's attention was focused on Linlong, and they were no longer attracted by Gu Qi like before.
This was because Linlong's performance was too stable. It was so stable that it seemed like he had been refining the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill for hundreds of years.
It was only then that the crowd realized how experienced and skilled Lin Long was in pill refinement. It was not something that Gu Qi could compare to.
Indeed, one couldn't just look at things on the surface. Only someone like Linlong was a truly capable alchemist! Most people had the same thought in their minds.
Ordinary people weren't the only ones paying attention to Lin Long. Even the master alchemists were focused on Lin Long. Only now did they realize how proficient and terrifying Lin Long's basic abilities were.
Most importantly, he actually used ordinary flames to accomplish some steps that were originally impossible.
This kid is definitely a genius. All the master alchemists praised him in their hearts.
Even Guo Ming, who had always been biased against Lin Long and wanted to make things difficult for him, could not help but sigh in his heart.
After all, Lin Long was the only person present who could use ordinary flames to refine the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill. In this aspect, Lin Long completely surpassed them, the master alchemists.
As time passed, those who carefully observed Lin Shiyin would realize that her strength was not up to her will. Tiny beads of sweat even seeped out from her beautiful and clean forehead.
Not long after, a charred smell wafted out from her small cauldron. It was obvious that she had failed in her refinement.
After taking a deep breath and calming her emotions, she started to mix the second set of materials.
Ten minutes after Lin Shiyin's failure, Gu Qi also made a mistake. He had no choice but to start mixing the second set of materials.
In other words, out of the five people, only Linlong was still refining the first set of materials. The other three all made mistakes and started to refine the second set of materials.
Apart from Linlong, the process of the battle was really exciting.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a "peng" sound was heard. Linlong had actually refined the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill.
Following that, Dong Jianwu announced that Linlong had successfully refined the pill.
"I didn't expect him to directly beat the fourth-grade alchemist Gu Qi."
"It seems like Linlong is a fourth-grade alchemist."
"Linlong is definitely the number one alchemist among the younger generation in the Central Region."
"To be able to do this without a Spiritual Fire, this is simply unprecedented and no one will be able to do it in the future."
"With Linlong, our Central Region will definitely be able to beat the other regions!"
…
In an instant, countless praises rang out in the square. Kong Zhi, Luo Hong, Yu Chenghe, and the rest all had faces full of excitement and excitement.
Since Linlong had already refined it, it was now up to the other three to see if they could do it. As a fourth-grade alchemist, Gu Qi's chances were naturally much higher than the other two.
It was also at this moment that a puff of green smoke suddenly appeared on the stage. The green smoke came from Li Cheng's small cauldron, which meant that Li Cheng had wasted another set of materials.
Li Cheng stared blankly at the small cauldron in front of him. After a long while, he finally regained his senses. He did not immediately start to mix the last set of materials.
Instead, he took a deep breath before picking up the last set of materials.
Looking at Li Cheng's expression, Liu Kangning's heart was in his throat. He had placed all his bets on Li Cheng, he did not want him to fail.
The others who were paying attention to Li Cheng shook their heads. In their opinion, Li Cheng had already failed twice in such a short period of time. The chances of him advancing to the next level were extremely slim.
After a short while, another person made a mistake. This time, it was Lin Shiyin.
Looking at the small cauldron in front of her and smelling the burnt smell, Lin Shiyin shook her head forcefully. She wanted to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind, because at this moment, she did not even know what she had done wrong.
However, no matter how she thought about it, she could not seem to find a solution.
Forget it, I can't find the reason for my mistake now. Even if I continue to refine, I will not be able to avoid failure. I'll just give up. Such a thought even appeared in Lin Shiyin's mind.
With this thought in mind, she subconsciously looked in Lin Long's direction. She saw Lin Long smiling at her with a face full of encouragement, as if he was saying, "Shiyin, do your best!"
"Alright, Young Master Lin, even if I fail, I, Lin Shiyin, will continue refining!" Lin Long's smile gave Lin Shiyin incomparably strong confidence.
Following that, she immediately started to mix the materials again.
This was the last set. No matter what, she had to bring out her own strength. Even if she failed, she had to collapse during the refining. A raging fire burned in Lin Shiyin's chest.
Gu Qi, who was refining the second set of materials, had a clear mind. Moreover, the second set of materials actually went smoothly. Therefore, after just an hour, he also successfully refined the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill.
However, there was not a trace of a smile on his face. This was because he had used far more time than Lin Long. Moreover, he had also used the spiritual fire and used up two sets of materials.
Just like that, he was directly defeated by the unknown Lin Long. Moreover, it was in such a competition, so how could he have a good expression?
Lin Long, I will definitely defeat you later. I will! With this thought in mind, Gu Qi looked in Lin Long's direction and a cold expression flashed across his face.
Lin Long and Gu Qi had already refined, so it was now time to see how the remaining two would fare. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Shiyin and Li Cheng.
However, the crowd did not have high expectations for the two of them. This was because both of them were already at the last set of materials. Moreover, they were still in the middle of the refining process, so it was very easy for an accident to occur.
However, what they did not expect was that Li Cheng, who had been treading on thin ice, actually had a smooth sailing at the last moment. It seemed as if he had easily refined the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill.
Out of the four people who had tried to refine the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill, three of them had actually succeeded. This passing rate shocked the crowd.
One must know that in previous pill refining competitions, when it came to the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill, the first place would be decided immediately. It was not like now, where they still had to compete in the next round.
This was really too exciting and exciting. With this thought in mind, everyone's eyes shifted to Lin Shiyin.
Could Lin Shiyin, who was also a genius, successfully refine the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill? This thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Even though they did not think highly of Lin Shiyin, with Li Cheng as an example, no one dared to say that Lin Shiyin could not refine the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill.
Lin Shiyin simply did not have the time to care about the situation around her. Her attention was completely focused on the small cauldron in front of her.
At this moment, she realized that her thoughts were smooth and her train of thought was unprecedentedly clear. One of the problems that had previously troubled her during the refining process had actually been easily solved because of her clear train of thought.
"The Heaven's Pinnacle Grass should be completely decomposed using a spiritual fire of this temperature …"
After thinking through this point, Lin Shiyin instantly became incomparably excited. If it wasn't for the pill refining competition, she would absolutely jump for joy.
This kind of smooth thinking naturally made her extremely confident in her own refining process. As expected, after this, she successfully passed the stage where she had made a mistake and successfully entered the final stage of refining the pill.
At this time, the people present could even smell the medicinal fragrance coming from her cauldron.
This kind of situation indicated that she was not far from success.
"I never thought that Lin Shiyin would actually refine the Seven Treasures Dustfall Pill. It's really unexpected. None of the four people actually failed."
Below the stage, there were already people sighing.
The Alchemist Alliance's mentors on the stage also nodded with smiles on their faces. The happiest person was none other than the Alchemist Alliance's President Luo Hong because Lin Shiyin was the disciple she was most proud of.
