Elixir of Life
Many alchemists withdrew from the second round of the competition. This round was a competition of speed. In fact, it was already obvious which alchemists were faster than others in the first round.
However, the second round was a Grade 2 Law Elixir. Hence, some alchemists wanted to compete with Ning Qi and chose to continue.
As expected, Ning Qi was still the fastest.
"To be able to refine a Grade 2 Law Enhancement Elixir, to be able to contain the fragrance of the elixir within the elixir, and to have such a clean and efficient technique, his alchemy skills have already surpassed Jiang Tai."
Twilight Autumn Cicada secretly compared Ning Qi to Jiang Tai and concluded that Ning Qi's alchemy skills far surpassed Jiang Tai's.
She had a strange look on her face. If his disciple was so strong, then what about his master? Could he be one of the top ten alchemy grandmasters of the Azure Dragon continent?
"What a fast speed!"
Xiaodong stared dumbfoundedly at the pills forming in Ning Qi's hands. Then, they were thrown onto the silver tray, producing clinking sounds.
Both the Xianling Sect and the participating alchemists were once again shocked by Ning Qi's terrifying speed.
"The winner of the second round is Lord Beixuan."
Twilight Autumn Cicada announced the result.
Many alchemists congratulated Ning Qi before retreating to the side. They had already lost the confidence to continue the competition.
However, the cauldron was too tempting for alchemists. There were still five or six alchemists who were prepared to compete with Ning Qi in the third round.
The first two rounds were a test of an alchemist's basic skills. The third round was a test of an alchemist's true strength.
This round was a competition to see who could refine the highest grade elixir!
"This kid might be able to refine a rank 2 Law Increasing Elixir and his alchemy speed is also very fast, but looking at his cultivation base, he is merely a Late Stage Dou Dan Realm Cultivator. His realm is worlds apart from ours. Perhaps he isn't even an Elixir King. At best, he can refine a rank 3 Law Elixir. As long as I can refine a rank 5 Law Elixir, I will still win this competition!"
An alchemist thought calmly. After taking a glance at Ning Qi, he took out the herbs he had prepared to refine the elixir.
"Junior Sister, what kind of elixir do you think he is going to refine?"
Wu Wei smiled faintly.
Sunset Autumn Cicada glanced at Ning Qi with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know either. The third round of the competition is about the inheritance of the Dao of Alchemy. Even the most talented Alchemist will not be able to refine pills above the fifth rank without the inheritance of the Dao of Alchemy. It will be of no benefit to me when I compete with that guy later."
Pausing for a moment, the Sunset Autumn Cicada continued in a low voice, "But even so, no matter what the outcome is, we must still recruit this person into our Xianling Sect. To be able to cultivate a Level 2 Spirit Enhancing Pill within six hours … such a person cannot be found in the entire Great Desert Region. He's a rare commodity. If news of this spreads to the outside world, other sects might take advantage of him!"
"Yes, Senior Brother knows."
Wu Wei nodded, stroking his chin as he looked at Ning Qi, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
When the remaining few Alchemists showed their true abilities and started to refine the highest ranked elixir they were most familiar with, Ning Qi slowly closed his eyes.
There was no time limit this time. Everyone thought that Ning Qi was just closing his eyes to rest and calm himself down. After all, the final winner of this round would be the Elixir Cauldron that contained the Laws of Alchemy!
"Hmm, Level 7, Level 8 and Level 9 elixirs are too shocking. From what I know, it's rare to see a Level 5 elixir in the Great Desert Region. Then … Level 6 …"
Having made up his mind, Ning Qi started to look through the elixir formulas in the Dragon Slaying Mall.
Different from the Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow elixirs, the laws of elixirs far surpassed the four cultivation realms. Hence, the elixir formulas were very expensive. A Level 1 Spirit Enhancing Pill's elixir formula was sold for ten Dragon Slaying Crystals, which was equivalent to a hundred million Dragon Slaying Coins! That was a very high price.
"I hope the Level 5 elixir formula is cheaper …"
Ning Qi did not forget that the Nine Emperors Elixir Emperor Art could raise the level of elixirs. Hence, he only needed to refine a Level 5 elixir to refine a Level 6 elixir!
"Level 5 elixir formula 'Nine Yang Infusion Pill'. Price: 500 Dragon Slaying Crystals."
"Level 5 elixir formula 'Creation Soul Condensing Pill'. Price: 600 Dragon Slaying Crystals."
It was too expensive. Ning Qi only had less than a thousand Dragon Slaying Crystals left. These elixir formulas were not within his consideration. After searching for half a day, he finally found an elixir formula with an appropriate price.
"Level 5 elixir formula 'Eternal Elixir'. Price: 120 Dragon Slaying Crystals."
"It's you then."
Ning Qi smiled and chose to purchase the elixir formula for the Eternal Elixir. Then, he bought 36 spiritual herbs and medicinal catalysts for refining the Eternal Elixir from the Dragon Slaying Mall for 50 Dragon Slaying Crystals.
"He's starting to refine elixirs!"
When the alchemists saw that Ning Qi had started to move, they were instantly filled with anticipation. Ning Qi's previous performance was indeed too dazzling. If he could refine a Level 5 elixir this time, the first place would definitely belong to him.
Ning Qi really wanted to take out the Nine Emperors Supreme Cauldron. That way, the success rate would increase. However, in this situation, if he took out the Nine Emperors Supreme Cauldron, there would definitely be alchemists with profound cultivation who would come to snatch it. Ning Qi could only follow the others and use the old method to refine elixirs.
The spiritual herbs were condensed into elixir juice by the Karmic Fire laws and hovered in the air above Ning Qi's palm.
On the eighth day, Ning Qi only put in 19 spiritual herbs. He estimated that it would take at least one to two months to refine the Eternal Elixir.
This amount of time was nothing to cultivators. Soon, one and a half months had passed. Ning Qi had just melted the most important catalyst, Scorpion Tail Grass, into elixir juice. The other alchemists had succeeded one after another. None of them had failed!
"It's done!"
A happy smile appeared on the faces of the alchemists as they heaved a sigh of relief. If they had failed in front of so many people, it would have affected their reputation.
"Level 5 elixir, Scarlet Blood Elixir. Not bad quality. It can increase the purity of one's bloodline."
"Level 5 elixir, Power God Elixir. Consuming it can increase one's strength tenfold for a moment. It's considered a divine elixir for some cultivators. Its quality is excellent."
"Level 5 elixir, Silent Destruction Elixir. It's useful for demons and dragons. Its quality is excellent."
"Level 5 elixir, Foundation Establishment Elixir. Excellent quality!"
"Level 5 elixir, Yin-Yang Dark Dragon Elixir. Excellent quality!"
