Chapter 411
“Eighth-grade cold marrow fire? The quality of this spiritual fire is pretty good.” One of the judges noticed the blue spiritual fire at the bottom of the furnace. He let out a soft ” Yi ” and transmitted his voice to his companion.
His companion shook his head and replied, ” “It’s too late. Even if his pill-making skills are not inferior to Gu Nanxun’s, it’s too late for him to start now!”
&Quot; however, there’s nothing wrong with this kid’s pill refining technique. He seems to be more familiar with it than Gu Nanxun ... &Quot;
“You’re a rogue cultivator, unlike the disciples of the Academy, who have a master to watch over them and are only allowed to act after laying a good foundation. I reckon that this wandering cultivator just so happens to be most skilled in the origin fostering pill?”
“Hmm, that’s possible. However, the way he handled the medicinal herbs and his control of the spiritual fire are all very good ...”
“It’s indeed not bad. When Gu Nanxun reached this stage, there were a few small problems, but this kid seemed to be able to handle it with ease and passed it easily ...”
“It’s already very good for a mere rogue pill refiner to be able to do this. He started too late this time. After he’s eliminated, we can consider giving him some private guidance.”
“That’s right, with this kind of talent, he still has the potential to become a true Alchemist.”
“Who’s free to go out and chat with him later ...”
At this point in the discussion, all the judges looked at PEI Ling with a tacit understanding, wanting to pick some problems and prepare to give targeted suggestions when they gave pointers later.
And then, as he watched ...
Everyone started to feel that something was wrong.
Every step of this brat’s pill refinement was perfect and flawless!
As a group of veteran alchemists, not only were they unable to find any problems after watching for a long time, they even faintly felt that they had learned something from this kid’s technique!
BOOM!
At this moment, due to the lack of time, an unaffiliated Alchemist lost control of his alchemy fire and his furnace exploded!
The huge commotion caused the entire pill platform in the hall to shake slightly. The fragments of the exploded pill furnace flew in all directions!
One of the pieces, wrapped in fire, was flying towards PEI Ling, almost brushing past his face and almost falling not far away.
Seeing this, he Wufu and the others furrowed their brows. Even Gu Nanxun could not help but cover her mouth with her sleeve and let out a gasp.
However, PEI Ling was not affected at all!
Not only did he not stop his movements, but his gaze did not even change.
The expressions of he Wufu and the others changed slightly, and they exchanged looks of surprise.
Even they couldn’t be so calm and unmoved by external things!
Just now, when Gu Nanxun was refining pills, someone’s furnace had also exploded. It was already very rare for Gu Nanxun to be able to react in time after the shock and stabilize the pill fire.
However, this dark and thin boy didn’t even take the step to stabilize his alchemy fire.
This was because the other party was not affected in the slightest. The speed and rhythm of the pill refinement had not changed from the beginning to the end!
However, the other rogue alchemists couldn’t guarantee such calmness. The Rogue alchemists who hadn’t finished refining were already anxious.
Now that he suddenly heard the loud explosion of the furnace and felt the impact, his state of mind instantly changed. His mind was in a mess, and so were his subordinates. Very quickly, a chain reaction was set off.
Boom boom boom ...
One, two, three ... The furnaces of the remaining alchemists exploded one after another. The preliminary selection was a failure on the spot!
In a short few breaths of time, the only person who was still refining pills was PEI Ling.
At this point, Gu Nanxun, Xin Yuhan, and he zhuzhi had all noticed PEI Ling.
They did not have the sharp eyes of he Wufu and the others, but just by looking at PEI Ling’s alchemy technique and observing for a moment, they could also realize that he was a true Alchemist!
Moreover, it was at least eighth-grade and above!
Finally, when there was only half an incense’s worth of time left, PEI Ling, under the control of the system, finished refining the first batch of Peiyuan pills.
He was about to reach out for the second set of materials when he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
The system quickly sent out a notification,’ding dong! [ host has been detected to be poisoned. This cultivation session ends here. ] Thank you, host, for using the intelligent cultivation system. With one click of the button, you can ascend without worry! Please give me a five-star rating if you are satisfied ...”
After giving the system a two-star rating and regaining control of his body, PEI Ling immediately removed the seal on one of the anti-poison pills in his body.
In the next moment, the medicinal power of the detox pill spread and quickly suppressed the poison in his body.
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, PEI Ling opened the pill furnace. There were 30 essence cultivating pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace. Each of them was of the highest grade, and blue patterns circulated all over their bodies, sealing all the medicinal properties and not a single pill fragrance leaked out!
PEI Ling’s expression was calm. He immediately took out all 30 Supreme-grade essence cultivating pills and placed them on the Jade plate.
In an instant, the people on the Imperial Jade were all shocked!
Even he Wufu, who was sitting in the main seat, did not care about his dignity and dignity as a Chief Examiner. He leaned forward, stretched his neck, and stared at the Jade plate in front of PEI Ling in shock.
A Supreme-grade essence cultivating pill!
It was actually a Supreme-grade essence cultivating pill!
Moreover, there were 30 pills in one batch, each of which was of the highest quality!
Which ... Which master was this?
At this moment, many of the examiners and judges were looking at PEI Ling with shock.
So that was how it was!
No wonder this kid, no, this master did not make a move just now!
It turned out that they were complaining that the time given for the preliminary selection was too long!
The other party would first daydream and take a nap, giving the other apothecaries a chance before casually refining a batch of Supreme-grade origin nurturing pills at the last moment, crushing everyone present.
That’s right, a basic pill like the essence cultivating pill was not a challenge at all to a master like the other party!
No!
Not to mention the preliminary selection, even if it was the capital examination, County examination, and the imperial capital’s final examination, or even the various examinations to enter the “small sky of freedom,” he would not feel any pressure!
Even if a fifth-grade Alchemist in the Empire could steadily produce Supreme-grade elixirs, they would not be able to produce 30 Supreme-grade elixirs in a furnace like the other party!
At the same time, Gu Nanxun and the other two were also stunned.
&Quot; there’s no pill fragrance at all, and it’s as clear as glass. That’s ... A Supreme-grade essence cultivation pill?! &Quot; Gu Nanxun’s eyes widened and her lips parted slightly. She looked at the pill table beside her in shock.
Xin Yuhan’s expression was equally dazed as he stuttered, ” “I-it’s not possible, right? If he can concoct a Supreme-grade Peiyuan pill, why does he still want to participate in the selection?”
“It’s a top-grade item!” Gu Nanxun regained her senses and said firmly, ” I’ve seen the Supreme-grade Peiyuan pills that master made. They are almost the same as the one he made! &Quot;
He zhuzhi quickly thought of something. &Quot; he should be a foreign individual cultivator. He lacks the identity of an Alchemist of our dynasty. That’s why he needs to participate in the preliminary selection. &Quot;
The three of them looked at each other and had the same thought in their hearts: “After the preliminary auditions are over, let’s see if we can make friends with this master!”
As they discussed this through voice transmission, the way the three of them looked at PEI Ling instantly changed.
Although they did not look down on the itinerant cultivators, they did not take them seriously and could not hide their arrogance.
This was because he was born superior to others. Under the subtle influence, he had long been used to a natural sense of superiority.
However, looking at the 30 Supreme-grade Vitality Pills in front of her, even Gu Nanxun, who had the most noble status, felt her pride disappear. What replaced it was a deep sense of respect.
This was a true alchemy master!
Although the other party’s cultivation level and age seemed to be similar to them, his alchemy skills were not something that people of their age and generation could have!
Even though this person was dressed in ordinary clothes and his pill furnace was not up to standard, this was only temporary!
The pill discussion ceremony in front of him was an opportunity for him to rise to the top!
Gu Nanxun and the other two believed that this dark and thin young man would definitely have a place in this year’s “small sky of freedom” pill debate!
To have a relationship with such a person, whether it was for them to ask for advice on alchemy or to form connections, it would be extremely beneficial ...
At this moment, the leaking copper lamp in the corner of the hall buzzed.
He Wufu came back to his senses and quickly announced,”Time’s Up!”
He looked around and saw that the 40 alchemists had all stopped.
More than half of the so-called alchemists had not refined anything. The dozen alchemists had only refined low-grade pills, and only four of them had actually refined Vitality Pills of middle-grade and above.
They were Gu Nanxun, Xin Yuhan, and he zhuzhi from the Jade Qilin Academy, as well as the young master who had made the last move and hid his strength!
