The battle between alchemists lasted for a total of ten hours. Within these ten hours, the two alchemists had to complete the two tasks of refining poison pills and detoxifying pills respectively. The requirement for refining pills was still very high.
If you were slightly slower, then you might only be able to concoct the poison pill and not the antidote pill. At that time, it would really depend on luck.
If you're lucky enough to have this kind of antidote on hand, congratulations. If not, then you can only use your own Gang Qi to suppress the poison. However, using Earth Energy to suppress poison consumed a lot of Earth Energy. Moreover, many poisons had the ability to devour Earth Energy.
After hundreds and thousands of years of development, the alchemy techniques of the Tian Gang Continent had been perfected in many areas. A person's wisdom was boundless. After the poison pills lost their effect on some powerful experts, the alchemists began to search for poison that could not be suppressed by Gang Qi.
For example, the Fiery Sun Golden Scorpion Pill that Jiao Xinglie could possibly refine belonged to this category. If ordinary Gang Qi was used to suppress the poison, it would be no different from pouring oil on a fire. The poison would become even more intense.
In fact, it was very wise of Ling Dong to choose a poison pill that was not too complicated to refine. This was because refining pills consumed a lot of energy. If he were to refine a complicated poison pill, Ling Dong might not have the opportunity to refine a detoxification pill.
However, a Heaven Grade Earth Fire Pill Room could still save alchemists a lot of time. A Heaven Level Earth Fire Elixir Room could trigger three times more earth fire than an Earth Level Earth Fire Elixir Room. The speed of refining medicinal liquid essence would also increase by two to three times. Of course, the requirements for the Alchemist would also be higher.
If an alchemist without experience in refining pills in the Heaven Level Earth Fire Elixir Room, the consequence of entering the Heaven Level Earth Fire Elixir Room without permission would be that the medicinal ingredients would be turned into ashes instantly. Due to the difference in firepower, the alchemist's control was also different.
When the flames of the two Heaven Level Earth Fire Pill Rooms rose, the first bunch of medicinal ingredients that Ling Dong threw into the furnace turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. His performance was very weak.
Originally, there were only two alchemists standing at the entrance of Ling Dong's Heaven and Earth Fire Alchemy Room. One of them turned around and left. A rookie Alchemist like Ling Dong was not worth watching at all.
That person even maliciously guessed that Ling Dong hadn't even used the Heaven and Earth Fire Pill Room before. If things went wrong, he might not even be able to refine a complete poison pill today.
Competing in alchemy with others at this level, truly not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
As for the other alchemists, they all walked to the entrance of the Heaven Level Earth Fire Alchemy Room where Jiao Xinglie was refining pills. Each and every one of them stared intently at Jiao Xinglie who was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace. Through Jiao Xinglie's every tiny movement and through the transparent furnace lid, they were trying to figure out some of the little tricks within!
There was only one alchemist left at the entrance of Ling Dong's Earth Fire Alchemy Room. This alchemist was none other than Palace Master Yuan Chen.
Seeing how Ling Dong clumsily turned the first bunch of medicinal ingredients into ashes, Yuan Chen sighed again. Alchemy really required the accumulation of time. No matter how much of a genius one was, it would be difficult to reach the heavens in a single step.
If it was possible, Yuan Chen even wanted to rush in and help Ling Dong refine pills to protect Ling Dong. It would also make it easier for him to obtain the precious pill formulas that Ling Dong might have on him.
However, he couldn't do so. If Yuan Chen were to do so today, he would probably become the public enemy of the alchemist world in less than two days.
"Ling Dong, you don't have any hope of winning. It's better for you to escape as soon as possible. With your cultivation, as long as I don't make a move and that Jiao Xinglie is tied up in front of the alchemy furnace, you won't have any problems leaving Flaming Cloud City! "Yuan Chen sighed and used his voice to secretly persuade Ling Dong.
Ling Dong, who was thinking of how to get rid of Yuan Chen, was startled when he heard Yuan Chen's words. He smiled bitterly. Was Yuan Chen meddling in other people's business?
Ever since the Martial Alchemy Competition had been decided, Ling Dong had never thought that he would lose.
Seeing Ling Dong's bitter smile, Yuan Chen thought that Ling Dong was worried about something. He used his voice again and said, "Do you care about your reputation and face? Sometimes, it's not worth it to lose your life for that little bit of face. "
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Yuan. I have never thought of running away, and I have never thought of losing!" Ling Dong also used his voice transmission to speak.
Yuan Chen was a little angry when he heard this. This kid didn't know what was good for him. Originally, he wanted to give up and let him fend for himself. However, when he thought about whether or not this kid had the pill formulas, Yuan Chen's heart felt like it was being scratched by a hundred claws.
"Hmph, kid, being arrogant won't solve the problem! Do you know what kind of poison pills Jiao Xinglie is refining? They are all low-grade Earth Fiend Flaming Sun Golden Scorching Pill and Hundred Yin Black Head Blood. Even I wouldn't be able to refine the antidote for these two poison pills in 10 hours. Even I would have to bet on a certain amount of luck, let alone you!
Listen to me, little friend Ling Dong. You should leave as soon as possible. I'll even be thick-skinned enough to cover for you. Where there's life, there's hope! "Yuan Chen said bitterly.
Ling Dong rolled his eyes when he heard this. "Old Man Yuan, I'm afraid what you really mean is that as long as Ling Dong is alive, you won't have to worry about the lack of pill formulas, right?"
Of course, Ling Dong wouldn't say this out loud. Instead, he assumed the posture of refining pills once again. His hand gripped the intricately carved handle of the Fusion Gang and he closed his eyes. His lips moved slightly as he replied, "Mister Yuan, just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't! Just wait for a good show! "
"How arrogant! If you can refine the antidote for the Flaming Sun Golden Scorching Pill and Hundred Yin Black Head Blood in 10 hours, I … I will acknowledge you as my master. " Yuan Chen, who was so angry that he was a little dizzy, said something that he would never be able to say in front of Ling Dong.
When he heard this angry curse, Ling Dong rolled his eyes at Yuan Chen. "I wouldn't be willing to accept such an old disciple! Mister Yuan, there's no point in saying anything more. Just watch! " Although he said that, Ling Dong's heart was still moved. This was a future Heavenly Alchemist. If he accepted him as a disciple in name, how awesome would that be?
However, when he thought about it carefully, Ling Dong immediately dismissed this idea. It was impossible! Yuan Chen was right about one thing. It really wasn't possible to refine the antidotes for these two poison pills in such a short amount of time.
Yuan Chen, who was very angry with Ling Dong, was about to leave. However, he really couldn't understand how a smart person like Ling Dong could be so confident. He stubbornly stayed at the entrance of Ling Dong's Earth Fire Alchemy Room and watched.
When he saw that Yuan Chen wasn't leaving, Ling Dong felt very helpless. He couldn't not refine, right?
To be honest, Ling Dong's method of refining pills was somewhat different from the current popular methods. This was especially true for the method of fusing the medicinal ingredients. It was improved by a young Alchemist in the future. Not only did it increase the success rate slightly, but it also saved a lot of time.
After opening the furnace again, Ling Dong threw in another batch of medicinal ingredients. This time, Ling Dong's method of controlling the furnace was extremely proficient. The furnace's array was activated instantly and held the medicinal ingredients in place. They didn't turn into ashes like the previous time.
This move stunned Yuan Chen, who was a little angry. He could adjust his method so quickly and adapt to the firepower of the Earth Fire Alchemy Room? Most Earth Alchemists wouldn't be so successful when they first used the Earth Fire Alchemy Room.
Even though Yuan Chen was surprised by the method, he could still recognize the medicinal ingredients that Ling Dong had used to refine the Middle Grade Spirit Desire Scorpion Poison Pill. There really wasn't any chance of success when refining such a poisonous pill.
Yuan Chen shook his head as he watched. He had already started to think about how he could save Ling Dong's life. Or perhaps, before Ling Dong died, he could get the precious pill formulas that might exist from Ling Dong's mouth.
Pill formulas weren't as simple as obtaining a list of medicinal ingredients. If that was the case, one would be able to learn other people's pills just by watching them buy medicinal ingredients.
Pills were the most delicate things in the world. A little more would be poisonous, and a little less would be ineffective. There was an extremely high requirement for quantity. At the same time, it was important to know which medicinal ingredients required which temperature to refine. Otherwise, one could only rely on repeated failures to fumble around.
This was especially true when pill formulas were very precious and the medicinal ingredients required were very expensive. Relying on repeated failures to fumble around for pill formulas was obviously not feasible.
As Yuan Chen pondered, he missed the special method that Ling Dong had used to fuse the pills. When the sound of Ling Dong's poison pill coming out of the furnace woke him up, Yuan Chen only vaguely felt that Ling Dong's speed in refining the poison pills was relatively fast. While he was curious, he also felt helpless.
After that, Ling Dong ordered the medicinal ingredients to refine the Antidote Pill. Then, he closed the door of the Earth Fire Alchemy Room and started refining the Antidote Pill.
Yuan Chen was even more disappointed when he saw the medicinal ingredients that Ling Dong had ordered to refine the Antidote Pill. Among those medicinal ingredients, there were no medicinal ingredients to refine the Fiery Sun Golden Scorching Pill or the Hundred Yin Black Head Blood Antidote Pill.
Yuan Chen was also very helpless about this. He could only think of a way to obtain the pill formulas.
The time spent refining pills was always very fast. Starting in the early morning, when the bell rang, it was already sunset in the afternoon. The setting sun shone the clouds in the sky into a bright red color, creating a beautiful scenery.
However, in the eyes of Ling Dong and Jiao Xinglie, there was a taste of blood in the setting sun. The red clouds in the sky seemed to have turned into a bloody light that was filled with murderous intent!
"Both parties, please present your pills!" Yuan Chen announced simply. Then, he began to examine the pills. He wanted to see if the poison pills presented by both parties were refined using the medicinal ingredients that they had ordered. If they weren't refined on the spot, then the Battle Pill would lose its meaning.
The pill that Ling Dong presented was a black pill with a tinge of red. It emitted a faint fragrance and didn't look like much. It was the Spiritual Desire Scorpion Poison Pill. In Yuan Chen's eyes, the outcome was already clear.
"It's just that the pill formulas …" Yuan Chen's brows were tightly knitted together.
"The Spiritual Desire Scorpion Poison Pill is really brilliant!" Jiao Xinglie laughed coldly. His palm glowed as he presented his own pill.
The moment the pill appeared, a fishy smell filled the air. Many of the onlooking alchemists, including Yuan Chen, had a change in expression. They all held their breaths. Those who were slow to react had already started to use their energy to suppress the poison gas that was being sucked into their stomachs.
