After the first three hurdles, there would be a long period of stability. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. After the 44th material was refined, the basic scale of the refinement was set.
However, although there were no traps or misunderstandings, the refinement of each material required a very strong ability to control fire and manipulation. There could not be any mistakes. Just this part of the operation was already more difficult than saving the Yang Reversal Pill.
The problem was that the judge knew the difficulty of the refinement of this pill, but the four people in the competition hall did not. This was especially true for Lu An. As the leader, he had to carefully weigh each material in his hand and think for a while before putting it in. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. From day to night, Lu An had refined the 90th material.
He had more than half of the materials. After the sky turned dark, many people went to sleep. Some of the Heavenly Masters' snoring was so loud that they were thrown out by the staff. Every night, it would be very quiet. Apart from the light of the moon and stars, there was only the light from the four alchemists' furnaces.
Lu An frowned. He looked at the furnace in front of him and kept controlling the fire to change the temperature. Although everything was stable, his expression was very serious.
This was because he was really tired.
It was the seventh night. Seven days of continuous refinement had consumed too much of his spiritual power. Although his divine sense was strong and supported by the Divination Star Force, as a Level Seven Heavenly Master, it was extremely difficult for him to forcefully refine a Level Eight pill. In addition, the fire control required to refine a Level Eight pill could be described as abnormal. He was really tired.
Although he would be tired when he cultivated normally and could support himself to the limit before resting, refining pills was different. He could occasionally be distracted when he was tired from cultivation, but refining pills did not allow for any mistakes.
Lu An raised his head and looked to the front and left. Were the three of them not tired?
No, it was the opposite. The three of them were already tired.
Perhaps because of some special reasons, Lu An's divine sense was much stronger than people of the same level. Especially after being strengthened by the Divination Star Force, it could almost be compared to people of a higher level. His Spiritual Sea was almost no different from that of a Level 8 Heavenly Master, but he didn't know it himself, so Sun Zhong and Liu Heng were already tired.
Sun Zhong, on the other hand, was not that tired because he had rested in the middle. When he was waiting for Lu An to refine the twentieth pill, he rested for an entire day. Liu Heng was the same. It was just that he was impatient, which caused his mental power to be very tired.
As for Li Han, she was indeed tired. She and Lu An were only Level Seven Heavenly Masters, but it was obvious that her spiritual power was not ordinary either. She was actually able to be on par with Lu An and still persist until now.
Although Li Han was frowning, her body was still straight and she didn't relax at all. She controlled the flames perfectly and never made any mistakes.
However, this was only the beginning of his exhaustion. As for exhaustion, it would be a difficult problem throughout the entire process of refining pills.
He couldn't stop refining this pill. Otherwise, if he took too long, the liquid in the pill furnace would lose its effect. Alchemy had to be completed in one go from start to finish, no one could rest.
To be honest, Lu An regretted not resting for a day after the purification. Anyway, this competition didn't require time, so why was he in such a hurry?
Lu An's eyes were dignified as he concentrated on refining. After a few moments, he finally reached the hundredth material.
The eyes of the six people on the referee's high platform turned cold. The hundredth material would be the fourth obstacle in refining.
The Three Lines Enchanting Pill's effect was to confuse, attack, and change one's spiritual power. In other words, it had to have a strong hallucinatory power. The previous materials contained a strong spiritual power and life force, but they didn't have this kind of hallucinatory power. This hundredth material was the first kind of material to attack spiritual power.
This material was a flower that had not been purified, so it needed to be used and made on the spot. What was really needed to refine pills was the pollen inside.
Lu An peeled the pollen from the flower and separated it bit by bit. According to the pill manual, as long as the hallucinatory effect of the pollen was poured into the boiling hot pill furnace, it was different from the mistakes and traps in the refining operation, it was written very clearly.
Generally speaking, to be able to write the refining method so clearly, there would be no mistakes, otherwise, the pill manual would be wrong. Lu An looked at the pill furnace with the perfect temperature and gently sprinkled the pollen inside.
The moment the pollen came into contact with the boiling hot pill furnace, the problem came out.
Lu An's refining method was not wrong, and the refining method was not wrong. If he continued refining like this, he would succeed. But the problem did not lie in the pill furnace, but in Lu An himself.
The moment the pollen came into contact, spiritual power and hallucinatory power fused together. In the process of the two fusing, it was inevitable that spiritual power would be released. This was also a process that should be present in refining pills. But the problem was that the flower's hallucinatory power was extremely strong. With a strong spiritual power, it instantly rushed towards Lu An who was close at hand!
Lu An did not expect such a thing to happen. When he reacted and wanted to dodge, it was already too late. His body shook in an instant, and a strong hallucinatory power poured into his Sea of Consciousness!
Lu An was already a little tired, and refining pills had already consumed a lot of his spiritual power. This hallucinatory power caught Lu An off guard. Even if Lu An could expel the hallucinatory power in the end, once the fire controlling technique was affected, or if he was confused for too long, there would definitely be a problem in refining pills!
In an instant, Lu An's mind went blank. His entire mind became muddle-headed, as if he was in a boundless paradise. However, all this only lasted for a moment!
Lu An's eyes immediately returned to normal, from empty to deep. The fire controlling technique only wavered for a moment, but this had no effect on the pills in the pill furnace.
Although this hallucinatory power was equivalent to the illusion attack of a level eight Heavenly Master, it was only a plant after all, and its attack power was not too strong. Lu An's spiritual power was also at the level of a level eight Heavenly Master. The Light Concealing Primordial Spirit Technique instantly broke the hallucinatory power. Except for the initial slight tremor, his body did not even sway, and he continued to refine pills.
Whether it was the six people on the referee's platform, Li Han and Sun Zhong, none of them found out what Lu An had experienced. However, the six people on the high platform looked at Lu An calmly refining pills, and they were full of shock and couldn't believe it at all!
What was going on?
Was there a problem with the material?!
When Lu An finished refining the hundredth material and continued to refine, Li Han and Sun Zhong began to refine the hundredth material. When the material was thrown into the pill furnace, there was no accident, the hallucinatory attack came and instantly hit the two's sea of consciousness.
Sun Zhong was also refining this material for the first time, and he didn't know that this kind of reaction would occur. However, he had refined many kinds of other spiritual power plants, and he was more or less on guard. Although this attack was too sudden and caught him off guard, he immediately operated his spiritual power to resist this hallucinatory attack.
While resisting, Sun Zhong tried his best to keep his body from shaking and maintain the original level, which was completely controlled by instinct. However, Sun Zhong's strength was indeed strong, the strength of the peak of the eighth level, coupled with the strong spiritual power cultivated by refining pills for years, in just four breaths of time, he broke through the hallucinatory attack, and his eyes were bright again.
As for the other side, Li Han also continued to refine as if she was not affected at all.
Sun Zhong turned his head and looked behind him, watching the two young people refining steadily, and his heart became heavier and heavier. Until now, if he still thought that these two people were not a threat to him winning the championship, then he was completely deceiving himself and others. However, he still had a lot of confidence, because during the process of condensing the pill, his powerful experience would make the quality of his pill higher.
Time continued to pass, and finally the sky was bright again. And this day was already the morning of the eighth day.
Among the four pharmacists, except for Liu Heng who had finished refining and was ready to start the third refining, the other three had reached the 140th material. Looking at the materials on the alchemy platform, everyone knew that the refining would be completed by this morning. The process of condensing pills would not be too long, and it was likely that the winner would be decided today!
In addition, everyone slept for a long time last night, so today everyone was very energetic and focused on the competition. From the beginning of the competition until now, a total of seven days and seven nights had passed, and the consumption of Divine Sense was huge. Once a person started to feel tired, he would feel tired very quickly. And not only was the spirit tired, but the physical consumption of the Fate Wheel was also huge. Now, Lu An's body even began to sweat coldly, and his whole body was a little weak.
However, before the refining was completed, Lu An would definitely not lower his concentration. Since he had already come this far in his alchemy, he could not afford to fail at the last hurdle.
Until now, the long-term effort had finally aroused Lu An's desire to win. Whether it was for the championship, or for the bet with Li Han, he wanted to win very much!
Time passed quickly, and soon it was six o 'clock in the morning. Now, Lu An had already refined 159 types of materials, while Li Han and Sun Zhong had refined 157 types of materials.
Lu An's eyes were dignified, looking at the last material on the alchemy platform.
He had to be careful with this last material. As long as this was successful, he could successfully enter the process of condensing pills!
