In the City Lord Mansion of Fanxing City, the two groups of alchemists were in position. The theme of this round was the Heaven and Earth Elixir. The raw materials of the elixir were prepared by each participant. According to the rules set by the Qihuang Sect, each participant could add an auxiliary material.
Although Liu Yue of the White Bone Gate strongly protested, the Qihuang Sect had the final say. Moreover, if they wanted to get treasures from others, they had to follow their rules. In the end, Liu Yue had to sit in her seat angrily and sulk.
Seeing that Zhu Chen still took out the Black Tortoise Furnace, Yi Tian was also puzzled. Didn't he know that the quality of the furnace was a little worse? Why was he still so confident? Liu Piaopao whispered softly, "The refining of the Heaven and Earth Elixir mainly depends on the cooperation of the two people's spiritual fire and the quality of the materials they prepared. The materials they used must be carefully selected, and most of them were planted by themselves."
Yi Tian, who was listening by the side, nodded his head repeatedly. This Qi Huang Sect was really unscrupulous. Their starting point was already higher than others. How were they going to play? Then he heard Liu Piaopao's voice again, "According to the rules, you can add an auxiliary material. The Qihuang Sect has been refining the Heaven and Earth Elixir for many years, so they must know the rules. What's more, they can only add Tianyi Holy Water or Qihuang Spiritual Rock Milk, two spiritual liquids that can improve the quality of the elixir. Therefore, the effect of the quality of the furnace is almost negligible."
As soon as he heard the words "Tianyi Holy Water", Yi Tian's eyes lit up. Ning Ning had mentioned it when she was refining the Face Retaining Elixir, and he had finally found a drop. He took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bracelet and handed it to Liu Piaopiao. Liu Piaopiao looked at it in confusion. She opened the bottle cap and glanced at it. A knowing smile appeared on her half-exposed face.
For Liu Piaopao, this thing was much more useful than the prescription of the Bottleneck-breaking Elixir. She swept away the depressed mood of being cheated by the Qihuang Sect and turned to Yi Tian, "Yang Liuqing, just try your best this time. At worst, you can go to the Medicine Valley to ask for Bottleneck-breaking Elixirs. It won't be a big loss for us."
Yi Tian didn't dare to speak now. If he blurted out a word, at least four or five people present could find him out. So he nodded and cupped his hands, indicating that he would follow Liu Piaopao's lead....
The alchemists around also felt that the White Bone Gate was a little arrogant. They casually found an unorthodox alchemist to help them, and he didn't even wear an alchemist robe or badge. At first glance, they could tell that he wasn't a decent alchemist.
Liu Yue, who was sitting on the top, also frowned. After looking at Liu Piaopao, she just nodded knowingly and transmitted a message to him, "Just try your best." Then, she couldn't say anything else. She thought, "The Qihuang Sect has gone too far. Next time, I'll find a chance to settle accounts with them."
After the Ancestor of the Flying Star Sect lit the timer incense, he announced that the second round of the Alchemy Conference had begun. The time limit was two hours, and the winner would be determined by the quality of the elixir. The cultivators below also quieted down and kept their mouths shut, watching how the four alchemists on the stage were going to refine the Heaven and Earth Pill.
After nodding at Yi Tian, Liu Piaopao directly took out the refining materials from her storage bag. The two of them had cooperated for more than ten times, and their movements were very skillful. Yi Tian specifically picked the herbs with the positive attribute, mixed them, took samples, and weighed them in a very good way. Liu Piaopao was in charge of the other half of the ingredients, and her movements were very smooth.
Although Yi Tian's movements of picking the herbs were still a little immature, and the alchemists below the stage pointed out the loopholes in his movements from time to time, he was only ten breaths slower than Zhu Chen and Zhu Xin when he finished weighing the herbs. Liu Yue heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. This was the part that Yi Tian was not good at, and he just wanted to pass.
The cultivator from the Qihuang Sect, Cheng Xiangxu, who was sitting on the top seat, also teased Liu Yue, "Is there no one in the White Bone Gate? Look at this Yang Liuqing's gestures, it seems that she is not very familiar with it." Liu Yue was so angry that she blew her beard and glared at him. After snorting, she turned her head and said no more.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two groups of alchemists were ready, and the next step was to open the furnace and refine the elixir. The most important thing in refining the Heaven and Earth Elixir was to have a tacit understanding. Generally, it was more common to see a Dao companion or family member directly cooperating with the alchemists. Who would be like Liu Piaopao, who would find an alchemist from an aristocratic family to cooperate with her? Moreover, this alchemist had not gone to the Medicine Valley for the examination.
The Qihuang Sect's original plan was to refine the Heaven and Earth Elixir so that Liu Piaopao would know the difficulty and retreat. The alchemists from the three northern sects in the Dong 'ao territory were all in the Qihuang Sect. If Liu Piaopao went to the Qihuang Sect, it would be like sending a sheep to the tiger's mouth. It was estimated that no one would want to offend the sect and help the White Bone Gate in private.
Among the three southern sects, the alchemists from the Chiyang School and the Xuan Ling Sect were more outstanding. However, these two sects were hostile to the White Bone Gate, so no alchemist would dare to take the risk of cooperating with them.
Needless to say, the rogue cultivators from the aristocratic families would act according to the wishes of the Qihuang Sect. The second round of the elixir competition was actually a trap. It was best to let Liu Piaopao know the difficulty and retreat. If she really went to the arena, how could she be compared to the elites of the Qihuang Sect?
As for Liu Piaopao's anger, Cheng Xiangxu did not even consider it. She was just a martial artist from the White Bone Gate, who was always shouting about fighting and killing. He would just give her some benefits later and send her away. As for Liu Piaopao, her aptitude for refining elixirs was considered good. However, if she did not enter the Qihuang Sect, she would only be a whetstone.
After all, the disciples of the Qihuang Sect were proficient in refining elixirs. After the materials were prepared, the Zhu siblings took action together. Red and white flames appeared on their right hands.
When the two flames entered the furnace, one side of the Black Tortoise Furnace was red and the other white. The two people's left hands placed the herbs into the furnace in order. The Yang-type herbs were calcined in the Yin-type flame, while the Yang-type herbs were refined in the Yang-type flame. When the herbs were enough, Zhu Chen closed the lid of the furnace. The two of them sat facing each other in front of the furnace and began refining.
On the other side, Yi Tian and Liu Piaopao also sat down. However, the way they did it was different. The two of them sat side by side, facing the Vermilion Bird Furnace. The Yang-type herbs were placed on both sides. Sparks appeared on Yi Tian's left hand and Liu Piaopao's right hand, and two red and green flames directly entered the furnace. The furnace was not divided into two halves like Zhu Chen and Zhu Xin's. Instead, it was red and green.
The onlookers showed a look of ridicule on their faces. Some alchemists even whispered, thinking that the two of them were just trying to please the crowd. Nangong Qianyun, who was standing in the first row, frowned. She didn't think that Liu Piaopao would find a mediocre alchemist to cooperate with under such circumstances. Moreover, the two of them had problems with their sitting posture and technique. It was definitely deliberate. The purpose was to better refine the Universe Pill.
Even Cheng Xiangxu, who was sitting at the top, changed his lazy appearance and sat up. He stared at Liu Piaopao and carefully analyzed their movements.
Ignoring the gazes of the people around them, Yi Tian and Liu Piaopao put the herbs into the furnace according to the previously established alchemy steps. After closing the lid, the two of them urged their spirit arts to increase the power of the flames in the furnace. Then, they cooperated with each other to burn the herbs into juice.
Nangong Qianyun, who was standing on the side, saw the alternating red and green flashing in the Vermilion Bird Furnace. She guessed that the two flames were alternately refined by the Yang-type and Yang-type flames. Zhu Chen and Zhu Xin used the two flames to refine and integrate them. Although each had its own merits, Liu Piaopao had skipped the fusion process. It was hard to say who would win. However, Yang Liuqing appeared out of nowhere. Looking at her fire control posture, she didn't lose to Liu Piaopao. However, why did her movements look like a Tool Refiner?
Nearly three quarters of an hour later, just as Liu Piaopao was about to collect the pill, she looked up and saw that her opponent was almost done refining. Everyone's refining level was about the same. At this time, Zhu Xin took out a jade bottle from her hand. After pouring out a drop of spirit liquid, she flicked it into the furnace. Zhu Chen, who was standing to the side, pointed his finger and the furnace lid opened slightly. The drop of spirit liquid was sucked into the furnace.
He coldly snorted, "Qihuang Spirit Rock Milk." Liu Piaopao was obviously affected by her opponent's actions. Her mood fluctuated, and the balance in the furnace was slightly broken. The entire Vermilion Bird Furnace began to shake a little. The alchemists watching from the side felt a wave of pity. This difference was huge. Although it was a small imbalance, it was a factor that could cause the furnace to explode.
Liu Piaopao also realized that she had lost control of herself. She tried her best to maintain the balance, but it was impossible to synchronize the flames after refining to this degree. At first, Yi Tian was guiding, and Liu Piaopao was responsible for the more difficult balance. Now the Yang Flame in the furnace was becoming more and more violent, and the Yin Flame couldn't keep up. If the two of them stopped, then all their efforts would be for naught. However, if they continued, then the furnace would definitely explode.
Seeing that Liu Piaopao's mood was unstable, Yi Tian hurriedly followed their previous agreement and made an all-out gesture. The Netherworld Ghost Flame in Liu Piaopao's hand suddenly flourished. It began to reverse the balance in the furnace, and Yi Tian's Yang Flame also began to rotate, in charge of finding a new balance point. After the two people's spirit flames increased in power and found a new balance point, the entire Vermilion Bird Furnace slowly stabilized.
After gently gasping for breath, Yi Tian felt that he had used too much spirit energy. He took out a bottle of Spirit Cloud Sky from his storage bracelet, opened the lid, and drank a third of it. Only then did he feel his spirit energy slowly catch up. He didn't expect that Liu Piaopao, under everyone's gaze, would grab the bottle with one hand and drink a few mouthfuls. Then she said to Yi Tian, "Prepare to condense the pill with all your strength."
The two of them withdrew their spirit flames at the same time and pointed their hands at the pill furnace. After the smoke on the lid dissipated, the entire pill furnace stood there steadily. Nothing unexpected happened.
The Zhu siblings had just finished condensing the pill. Under the effect of the Divergent Yellow Spirit Rock Milk, the red and white flames in the Black Tortoise Furnace finally mixed together. After the smoke dissipated, Zhu Chen opened the lid and a burst of pill fragrance floated out. A pill the size of a longan appeared in the furnace. There was a layer of pill rhythm on top of it. Zhu Xin happily called out, "It's a high grade pill."
Everyone present looked at the pill with envy. It had to be known that this pill could be sold for seven to eight thousand spirit stones on the black market. This alchemist was a spirit stone manufacturing machine.
Cheng Xiangxu, who was sitting above, also relaxed his brows. The result of this high grade Universe Pill was also within his expectations. Liu Piaopao's initial technique really made people jump in fright. If the pill furnace wasn't unstable, it was hard to say who would win. But this time, it was the White Bone Gate. She couldn't blame others for her own mistakes.
Liu Yue's face was also terribly dark. She had seen Liu Piaopiao's unstable state of mind just now. There was no comparison.
After Liu Piaopiao glanced at the other party's elixir, she just snorted and walked forward to open the furnace. After the lid was lifted, a burst of elixir fragrance came out. The Heaven and Earth Elixir in the furnace also had a layer of elixir aura. Liu Piaopiao glanced at Zhu Xin proudly and said generously, "The elixir is of high grade."
The scene went out of control for a while. The alchemists who came to watch the competition began to whisper to each other. Liu Yue, who was sitting above, looked at the Qihuang Sect's Cheng Xiangxu with a provocative gaze.
Before the flying ancestor could announce the result, Yi Tian took out a porcelain bottle. Under Liu Piaopao's surprised gaze, he cast a spell. A drop of clear liquid flew into the pill furnace and touched the Universe Pill. Many of the pill refiners and cultivators looked at Yang Liuqing in confusion as if they were looking at an idiot. This person was here to cause trouble, right?
Only Nangong Qianyun smiled. Wasn't this Profound Spirit Clear Liquid? She knew where this thing came from. It couldn't be outside of the Xuan Ling Sect.
