Although the process of condensing the pill was complicated and difficult, only the alchemist could feel it. For the hundreds of thousands of spectators, they could only see three alchemists placing their hands on the alchemy furnace.
Because it was the stage of condensing the pill, everyone became more focused, for fear of missing the moment when the pill came out of the furnace. Those who went out temporarily also came back, the audience became crowded again, and there were even more people, perhaps nearly two hundred thousand people!
The sky was densely packed with people, and the people in the VIP rooms of the four empires were also frowning. But for the Heavenly Dragon Empire, this competition had lost its meaning, and it was the same for the Montenegrin Empire. Looking at the only alchemist among the four alchemists, Liu Heng, who was still in a hurry to refine a third of the pill, they no longer had any hope, they only hoped that the competition would end soon, and not let him lose face again.
Li Han and Sun Zhong's alchemy furnace became red because of the strong flame inside the furnace, the temperature was boiling hot, and even the ground around the alchemy furnace was on fire because of the blazing temperature. Only Lu An, not to mention the surrounding ground, even his alchemy furnace did not have any change, it was still bronze, ordinary and impermanent. If there was a change, it was the surface of the alchemy furnace that had some frost and ice.
In the face of such a change, even the six alchemists on the high platform were very surprised. One must know that this was not a small matter, but a very strange thing. During the process of condensing the Three Lines Enchanting Pill, the temperature requirement was extremely high, even the eighth grade alchemy furnace would be red iron, just like Sun Zhong, how could there be no reaction at all on the surface?
In fact, Lu An was now using a white flame, as long as the alchemy furnace could withstand the temperature, he would not form Deep Ice inside. But the problem was that his alchemy furnace was not an eighth grade alchemy furnace, it was just a seventh grade alchemy furnace temporarily borrowed from Liu Yi, it could not withstand the temperature at all.
The three alchemists did not stop refining for a moment, and time passed little by little, from noon to evening, and then from evening to late at night, no one thought that the condensing of the pill would take so long.
Only the six alchemists on the high platform knew how long the condensing of the pill would take, perhaps it would be noon the next day. Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the time gradually turned from late night to dawn. Sunlight swept over, illuminating the world once again.
Under the morning sun, beads of sweat appeared on their faces and flowed down their cheeks. At this stage of alchemy, it was not only a test of one's ability to control fire, but also one's willpower. This was especially true for Lu An and Li Han. Both of them had been refining nonstop since the beginning without any time to rest. The consumption of their mental strength was too great. They could only rely on their willpower to support themselves.
Compared to the other two, Sun Zhong was in a much better state, but his face was also covered in sweat. To him, this Three Line Enchanting Pill was definitely one of the most difficult pills he had ever refined. It had been a long time since he had gone all out to refine a pill like this.
However, the progress of the pill condensation could still be more or less determined from the state of the pill furnace's surface. The grade-8 pharmacists could naturally see it clearly, and the grade-7 pharmacists present could also see a trace of it. They all knew that the pill condensation process was nearing its end, and it would definitely end within six hours.
The news spread like wildfire, and soon, nearly two hundred thousand people knew about it. All the audience focused on the three alchemists' alchemy, waiting for the moment when the pills came out of the furnace.
In the field, Liu Heng naturally knew that as long as there were no accidents, the three alchemists were about to succeed. Now, he didn't want to make trouble at all. Making trouble meant that he would suffer here for a longer time. He only hoped that these people could hurry up so that he could be free.
Finally, the time passed and it was now midnight. At this time, Li Han and Sun Zhong's pill furnaces had reached a certain degree of heat. Even the patterns on the surface of the pill furnace had melted and turned into molten iron flowing down!
After seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect such a situation to happen!
Only Lu An's pill furnace hadn't changed at all. This made everyone very confused. They even suspected that this kid was pretending. Was he really condensing the pill?
At this moment, Sun Zhong, Li Han, and Lu An's eyes narrowed at the same time. They slapped the bottom of the pill furnace with their palms, and instantly lifted the pill furnace into the air!
Then, the three alchemists came under the pill furnace and pressed their palms on the pill furnace. Suddenly, a loud buzzing sound spread throughout the field!
Buzz — —
The sound spread far and wide, making everyone's heart feel heavy! The three alchemists' actions were exactly the same. This kind of pill refining technique was exactly what was described in the pill manual.
The appearance of this action meant that the three alchemists had really reached the final stage of pill refining and would soon finish condensing the pill! At the same time, it also meant that Lu An wasn't fooling around. He was really refining the pill.
As long as there were no mistakes at the final stage, the three alchemists would succeed!
Two hundred thousand people looked at the two red pill furnaces and the ordinary pill furnace. Everyone stood up nervously! Everyone's body was tense. They even opened their eyes wide and gritted their teeth as if they were the ones who were refining the pill!
Especially the audience from Medicine God Nation, Southern Cloud Empire, and Yang Rong Empire. They really wanted to cheer for their alchemists. However, as soon as someone opened his mouth, he was stopped by the people beside him and scolded not to disturb and distract them.
Time seemed to slow down. Everyone waited excitedly. The three alchemists holding the pill furnaces were sweating profusely. Especially Lu An and Li Han. Both of their clothes were completely soaked in sweat. Especially under the scorching sun, the sweat became very uncomfortable.
Finally, the three alchemists' eyes turned cold at the same time. Their actions were almost exactly the same. In an instant, one of their palms was pulled down and the other was raised at the bottom of the pill furnace!
Bang!!!
The lid of the three alchemists' pill furnaces exploded and flew into the sky. At the same time, a pill shot out from the pill furnace and into the sky!
The three alchemists immediately let go of the pill furnace and chased after the pill. They all held the pill in their hands! Sun Zhong looked at the pill with clear patterns in his palm and was overjoyed. He quickly looked at the other two alchemists.
Li Han did the same. She immediately looked at the other two alchemists. However, only Lu An was different.
He didn't look at the other two alchemists at all. He didn't even hold the pill in his hand. Instead, his palms faced each other and the pill was in the middle of his palms! Lu An released his divine sense from his palm and covered the pill. He also used the power of space to carve something on the surface of the pill. After he was done, he grabbed the pill in his palm and dropped it to the ground.
This scene stunned Sun Zhong and Li Han. They couldn't help but panic in their hearts! In their opinion, this boy would never do something for no reason. Could it be that there was a problem with the pill?
However, they had already completed the entire content of the Three Lines Enchanting Pill's pill recipe. They had completed the last word, so how could there be a problem?
Even so, Sun Zhong and Li Han immediately looked at the pill to find a problem. They wanted to see if there really was a loophole. After three breaths of time, Li Han suddenly realized something. She also quickly worked on the pill. Only Sun Zhong didn't do anything. This was because he really didn't find anything missing.
Sun Zhong frowned as he looked at the two young men. In his heart, he was more willing to believe that these two young men had taken the initiative to add fuel to the fire. In the end, they would only overreach themselves.
Because of Lu An and Li Han's actions, the 200,000 spectators who were about to cheer forcibly stopped themselves. They were afraid that they would disturb the alchemy process. At this moment, the six alchemists on the referee's platform stood up. The leader said loudly to the audience, "If the alchemy process is finished, please raise the pill."
Lu An, Li Han, and Sun Zhong looked at each other and raised their hands at the same time. They opened their palms and revealed the pill inside!
Boom!!!
The 200,000 spectators couldn't help but celebrate to their hearts' content! From the beginning of the competition until now, it was already the ninth day. More than eight days and eight nights had passed! They had waited for too long, and the three alchemists had worked too hard for too long. Finally, everything was over!
Without hesitation, the 200,000 spectators gave the three alchemists the warmest applause of their lives! The cheers lasted for a long time as if they were going to spread all over the world.
The three alchemists stood in the arena and enjoyed the cheers of everyone. On the other hand, Liu Heng's face was ugly. He didn't say anything and directly left the arena.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour of cheering, the person on the referee's platform raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He opened his mouth and said in a voice that suppressed the audience, "Now, staff, please bring the pill up. The six of us will jointly evaluate the quality of the pill and decide the winner!"
